STAC Goat posted:Yeah, I was trying to think of a job that would make you naturally suited for the game but I just kind of kept coming back to "if you're a well rounded person with some strategic mindset, a flexible approach that lets you adapt to the game instead of force the game to your goals, and just enough ruthlessness to make the necessary dirty move when it comes" then you'll probably be a good Survivor player. Going by Sandra's performance and consistency, I would say bank teller. Their athletic program leaves something to be desired, though.

If this was true I'd be buying every extra bonus thing CBS has to offer. Best reality show ever (very narrowly beating out AC's The Mole, which is the only other reality show I would rewatch seasons of). ApplesandOranges posted:You'd also think poker players would do well, given their entire profession is based around bluffing and reading tells, but I can't think of a single one on Not Survivor, but Vanessa Rousso came in 3rd on Big Brother 17, which was a pretty tough season. Her poker skills often got the better of her, though, and she was really paranoid about everything.

So Survivor AU is down to F4. I'm kind of... ehh? on the four players remaining. Losing both Ziggy and Locky kinda hurt the cast in terms of 'big' personalities. I think the main problem is that Tara and Peter are both pretty bad players - one's too emotional and the other's too inoffensive. Jericho's not a bad player, but he's never really been in danger the whole game and his war analogies kinda grate on me a little. Michelle is the best out of the four remaining, and while she talks up a mean game, she's still a little... no flash and all bang for me. She's not a flashy player, she's effective and under the radar, which is I guess the best option out of the four remaining. I guess what I'm thinking is that if Ziggy or Locky was still in over Peter, I'd be more pleased going into the final week - I'd have more people to root for than just Michelle, even if they'd be hinging on immunity wins, it's a decent story to sell at FTC.

18 new posts?  Survivor threadI'm really liking Chrissy, she's the only person this season who's displaying forethought and her excitement at getting the alliance with Ben going was sweet.

So far, I feel like Chrissy and Ryan are our primary narrators, which hopefully means they make it far in the game and eventually establish their idol connection. Other than them, I like Ally and Lauren. Patrick's enormous horse teeth and slightly manic grin terrify me almost as much as Alan's crazy eyes. I feel like he's going for a Greg Buis type clown role, but there is a fine line between silliness and jackassery; no matter what Greg did, it was always clear that there was a brain in his skull. Patrick, not so much.

I feel like we really haven't seen enough of the Healers to make a good assumption about anyone, but thus far I really like Chrissy, Ali, Ryan and Ben. Chrissy is really interesting to me because she's definitely giving things serious thought but I worry she's a little too confident in herself and won't be able to recognize a real threat until it's too late.

I thought Ali was in a good spot when she was bonding with Simone, consulting with Lauren, and had an irl connection with Patrick. Then I see Ryan go check in with her and they're talking about what's best for the "three" of Ryan/Devon/Ali. What a spot she's in. Chrissy was my pony/winner pick so it's nice to see her doing well. She and Ben are set up well in that tribe like I figured they would be after Alan's kamikaze attack on JP/Ashley. In the healers tribe Cole probably blew it by telling Joe to dig by the well instead of just walking down to the beach with him and fruitlessly digging there, although Joe might have figured it out eventually and already was suspicious of Cole having the idol anyway. It seems like Joe and Cole apparently don't have the trust necessary for that idol to bring them together, and that Joe only approached him because he'd been in the water, and now it's driving a wedge between them when both might've otherwise been safe. That tribe is pretty hard to figure out at the moment.

Chrissy and Ryan are both intelligent and intentional players. I don't doubt that both of them will make it far. Chrissy does not come across as authentic/genuine, at least to me, and I think if other players even subconsciously feel that way there is no way she'll win. Ryan comes across as a very real person, and although he is visibly a physical underdog, he is not being portrayed as weak. I don't think the two of them will be true allies because Chrissy is treating lower-intelligence as an ideal ally trait. I think she will feel threatened by Ryan when they inevitably live on the same beach and it will be a delicious rivalry. But who knows? I want Ben to be F3 solely so I can see his smile the whole season. Also, does anyone know what small business Patrick owns? Isn't that just code for "I'm part of an MLM"?

I actually didn't hate Cole's move. The alternative would be to play dumb and grab the idol himself while Joe goes into the ocean and finds ... nothing. Meanwhile, Joe knows Cole saw the clue and would be naturally suspicious, especially if Cole is a bad liar. Joe clearly likes stirring poo poo up and causing chaos, so a stunt like that could have backfired on Cole big time. For now, he's tentatively okay; he just needs to keep Joe from getting spooked.

Definitely. Joe shows paranoia to the other players, which is a death sentence. He has shown his tribe mates that he is untrustworthy because he himself displays a lack of trust. In a game where no one is truly trusting, everyone has to appear trusting to further their game. And that's what Cole did right: he showed himself as trustworthy to Joe during a time when Joe was asking him for trust, making it easier for Cole to oust him later.

Alan: too erratic JP: too dumb Ashley: smart but part of a pair with JP Ben: just right But basically she ruled out JP for being dumb, and liked that Ashley was smart and her issue there was mostly that she was attached to JP. Then when she made her little plans with Ben she told him "we can go forward with Alan or we can go forward with Ashley" making it sound like JP wasn't really someone she was looking at working with.

Fast Luck posted:That's true but basically I think Cole was put in a worse position as soon as Joe turned his attention on him. if he hadn't helped Joe get the idol, Joe would be paranoid that Cole had the idol. He does help Joe get the idol, and Joe becomes paranoid about Cole knowing he has the idol. Editing. That was a sound bite. Cole seems to be off Joe's radar, but Joe can cook up a reason to get rid of anybody so it fit in the episode. He's erratic, but he's not a complete moron. His sights still seem focused on Mike(?), regardless of a budding affection for the guy.
