I never liked the tweeting much, because you can definitely deduce things, or at least make assumptions about who makes it farther in the game, based on who doesn't like each other, or who is buddy-buddy with people. (Tony)

Go read through the thread. drat near every prediction based on tweets was wrong. The same chance of being right as guessing blindly.

Asiina posted:Uh, it's cause they were giving away show information through their tweets. Especially the ones where they addressed each other. That is fair, but it isn't what was said: "stopped watching after saw ontestants tweeting from home.. while show still on" If they were complaining about what you are talking about and just aren't able to articulate, then cool.

Just listened to the RHAP episode with Tony, what a great interview. I think he came off like a pretty cool dude, definitely has one of the best minds for the game I've heard based on their interview. When he tells a story of just one move or one little aspect of the game he rattles off like 30 different scenarios he considered before making his move. He cops to over thinking and over playing a few things in hindsight, but to me he kinda made Rob and Fishbach come off like amateur players they way he handled their reservations about his moves.

I'm only partially through the interview, but yeah so far it's quite amazing and any Survivor fan would be doing themselves a disservice if they don't listen to it.

The top #1 winner of the top #1 season Chris Dougherty was on Historians a couple days ago. It was pretty glorious. His story on what actually happens after the final tribal council is pretty drat funny. Also it turns out the tribe split wasn't originally supposed to be men/women: when they arrived to the tribal ceremony the locals split them up like that and the producers went "huh, I guess it's men vs women then". A great listen.

They asked him for two things he wants immediately after the game. He said a beer and a cigarette. They gave him a beer with no opener and a cigarette with no lighter  edit: I mean ok opening a bottle of beer is stupidly easy, but it's still funny.

It was interesting but I think that Ron and Stephen usually will say that they don't have all the information about what is going on, only what they are shown on TV. Tony seemed to expect them to have known about all his moves they didn't see and somehow magically factor that into their opinions of him. Once Tony explained the stuff they didn't see, they seemed to come around though. Even Tony said he would not criticize future players because he knows now that you don't see everything that really happens and it makes it hard to judge things as a viewer.

quote:Making Exile Island even more brutal this time around is that your loved one will be sending you there after a one-on-one duel. “You’ve got to go up against your loved one and here are the stakes,” explains Probst. “Winner gets reward. Loser goes to Exile Island. Where it’s going to really suck. And it’s going to suck because you put ‘em there!” That could be pretty interesting.

The Exile Island twist is kinda meh. How do they decide which couple faces of? I expect the stronger part of most couples to throw the challenge to help out their weaker counterpart with the reward. And there will probably drama once the second person comes back from Exile Island and informs everyone about the idol clue.

For the non-sports fans, a brief sampler:John Rocker posted:"So many dumb asses don't know how to drive in this town," he says, Billy Joel's New York State of Mind humming softly from the radio. "They turn from the wrong lane. They go 20 miles per hour. It makes me want -- Look! Look at this idiot! I guarantee you she's a Japanese woman." A beige Toyota is jerking from lane to lane. The woman at the wheel is white. "How bad are Asian women at driving?" John Rocker posted:On ever playing for a New York team: "I would retire first. It's the most hectic, nerve-racking city. Imagine having to take the [Number] 7 train to the ballpark, looking like you're [riding through] Beirut next to some kid with purple hair next to some queer with AIDS right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing." John Rocker posted:On New York City itself: "The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. I'm not a very big fan of foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?" I could go on, but you get the point.

Here's a weird question. For the people who don't watch Big Brother this season has a contestant named Frankie Grande, a gay failed former Broadway star whose main claim to fame is running a youtube channel that leeches off his famous sister Ariana Grande. A couple of times during the season Frankie has said he originally tried out for Survivor but got cast on BB instead. Since the stunt couples are John Rocker, an Amazing Race team, and two Broadway gay guys did anyone else have the thought that Frankie may have been telling the truth and might have been the planned third stunt since the Grande thing seems to have more kick to it than "was in Wicked and Spider-Man on Broadway"? And does anyone else find themselves really wishing Frankie had spent a few weeks with John Rocker instead of three months on Big Brother?

STAC Goat posted:Here's a weird question. I doubt it. Frankie has this wierd condition about being cold, so he would die in a survivor situation as soon as the first rain falls. Additionally I dont believe that his sister would ever go on reality TV, atleast not in the next 3 years. She has an actual career and could be considered a star. Moreover Survivor never made a big deal of people that were the relative of someone but were more interested in women being in the shadow of their men (Monica in one world, Taj in Tocantins) as a character trait. But this calendar year we will have 4 cops on BB and suvivor total (2 Cagayan, 1 each for BB and 1 San Juan del Sur). Also 3 firefighers in San Juan del Sur, will it be the firefighter alliance?

He's not the fun kind of crazy like Coach or Phillip, he's just an rear end in a top hat.  Edit: We do need to be fair to Colton, he's nowhere near on John Rocker's level of racism/homophobia/etc. Next to Rocker Colton actually comes out looking pretty reasonable.

This cast very much feels like a cast from the season 21-24 dark ages. What happened?? I watched the videos and most of them are pretty boring and just excited for challenges, combined with a big stunt casted "villain" who will be really uncomfortable to watch. Val & Jeremy, and Jaclyn & Jon are kind of cute and might be good players, but who knows. Even if they are fantastic players, almost everyone else feels like a boneheaded dope who are just happy to be there. And as this season of Big Brother shows, if you put too many boneheaded dopes who are just happy to be there together you just get an unbreakable mega-alliance that never even considers turning on each other. Based on their Amazing Race appearance, Natalie & Nadiya might at least be willing to stir the pot with big moves, though their video didn't exactly sell themselves as strategic players.
