John and Jeremy won me over quickly, Dan, Mike and Natalie made me shake my head and sigh. That's all I've got so far. I actually don't care about most of the Davids other than Christian being more likable than previous turbo-nerds.

My favorite pony/poisonish Survivor hobby is getting crushes on the attractive guys during episode 1 and watching how quickly their personal blends of idiocy and douchiness turn me off over the course of the season.

Man that pat evac was the most terrifying in years. and on a challenge transport too. when he's screaming like that about his back you can't help but think if it's a spine break (i know nothing about back injuries). it's a relief to find out he's relatively okay. i think apart from his sometimes annoyingly frantic way of speaking, christian is better than the past few nerdy super-fans except for david. he seems actually pretty intelligent managing to stay fairly composed. most impressively not outplaying himself right out of the gate which even david did (bad enough to where he was nearly out first). at least self-aware enough to ask someone to tell him if he starts being too much. i think he makes the merge at the very least. i could see him getting extra annoying if he starts getting too cocky as there was a taste of it with the swing vote thing. nick reminds me of someone so much and i can't put my finger on who. like, part patrick wilson part guy who played dorian gray on penny dreadful. not feeling good about my blind pick of kara being my pony. really have no idea what made me choose her. 'pet peeves: drivers who use their brakes' made me chuckle, perhaps. pretty good blindside, though i think as soon as the idea came up and it was on christian and nick to tip the scales it was obvious. christian seemed at least aware enough not to burn his goodwill with gabby right away.

The one thing that does annoy me slightly about Christian is his posture. It's like he's constantly hunching.

Good news everyone; Chris Noble was at Live Know It Alls and finally solved the Mystery of the Disappearing Rap Song; CBS didn't want to pay royalties to the guy who made the backing track they used.

I think it's more along the lines of "they thought it was totally free but then their lawyer said the guy could sue for royalties and then they just decided to poo poo can the whole thing just to be completely safe." I doubt them liking it or not has much to do with anything at all. I don't think they'd care enough to take the video down and re-upload it without the song if there is anything at issue besides money.

The Survivor production staff is not stupid, and the team that edits and posts Ponderosa videos knows what they're doing, otherwise CBS wouldn't have hired them. Network television is a huge crock of poo poo sometimes (see: Big Bang Theory) but if it and its staff are good at one single thing, it's making money (see: Big Bang Theory). loving middle schoolers know more about music licensing than you're giving these people credit for. The rap video came down because it was actually that bad. Worse than Tightie Whities. But for that beautiful week, the joke was amazing.

No, actually, they don't. Television production is an absolutely massive behemoth with thousands of moving parts and entire departments that rarely if ever speak to each other. You're acting like there's some kind of hive mind governing television production, when the reality is that roommates could work on the same show for ten years and never even realize it because they never see each other. Individual shows do not have a legal departments; networks do, and they tend not to get involved in things unless you gently caress up. "One department of one show does something they don't realize could get them sued and is then forced to take it down by the network" is a lot more believable to me than "Survivor, as a gestalt entity, produces a music video, tacks it onto the end of a Ponderosa video, then deletes that video after one week and reposts it without the music portion for no apparent benefit because they think it's bad." It's CBS. You will never convince me that quality is something they are even remotely concerned with. EDIT: It's even more believable to me that this could slip through because it's Ponderosa. It's online content that never appears on the main show, so it likely has far fewer people overseeing it. Spergatory fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Oct 11, 2018 |

I for one doubt the interns editing the Ponderosa videos are fully trained experts on what they can and cant do.

Yeah that was pretty predictable. It's a shame, I liked Jeremy. But he was our 'overstrategizing, paranoid superfan' this season. Also based on the stuff we saw this episode it's almost a given Christian and John end up on the same tribe, huh?

I don't know, what's in it for me? I mean, you're the mayor of Slam Town, what do I get? Deputy Mayor? I don't know, that seems like a very ceremonial position. I don't want to be out, you know, cutting ribbons at the new Slamming Salon while you're out forming policy. How about Comptroller? Comptroller? Yes, Comptroller of Slam Town. And thus was born the beginning of a new alliance, an alliance to surpass Mason-Dixon; the City Council of Slam Town. With their unique mix of brains, brawn, civic duty and bureaucratic savvy, the City Council of Slam Town proceeded to dominate the rest of the game.

Hey Mark Burnett Yeah I know you're reading this thread you trump-loving piss-tape-having shitbird All will be forgiven if you make a sequel to Kid Nation called Slamtown and make a bunch of nerds and pro-wrestlers form a government. John and Christian can host. You don't have to pay me for this idea.
