I legit don't understand why anyone likes watching Boston Rob. He's just such a douche. And not in the good way.

I liked him well enough at first with diminishing returns. Redemption Island remains the only season of Survivor I just straight up have not watched outside of like 10 minutes and have no regrets.

This is a great point, I hadn't thought so explicitly on how key the jury aspect is. Which I guess points to really the one bad twist or thing to mess with on survivor is the jury. Like, having the jury be everyone, and then have everyone hang out together all month bonding. edit: JesusSinfulHands posted:Lol Ahahaha, now I'm curious if they kept the twist because when they set it all up, they had not yet seen either that the twist sucked rear end & that people hated it OR they already knew it was lovely, but is still the most obvious way to get the most out of their ULTIMATE ALLSTARS cast? Especially now that they know that a good way to win the game is to spend it all on Extinction chillen. Khanstant fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Jul 16, 2019 |

It would rule if the jury could vote "none of them" and if that sentiment is in the majority the jury all gets Redemptioned and a second mini season plays out with them I mean, except that it would happen every time. But the first time would be funny

EoE aired before they flew out the cast for S40. It's almost definitely to get the most out of appearance fees.

Maybe it will stop at the merge  If appearance fees is the issue start ponderosa from the first boot so people are encouraged to buy all access Was edge of extinction actually popular outside of online fan groups? I enjoyed it up to the merge, mainly because we’d never got to go through the experience of being one of the first boots and dealing with that fall out. Post merge it was just a mess.

Dugong posted:Maybe it will stop at the merge It seems to be it'll play out til Day 35 like before, so... best hope is that there's no free idol this time. Rick was apparently super popular, and the finale was... divisive. You either hated it because of the out of nowhere winner, hated it because Rick got cut, or loved it because it was just an eleventh hour chaotic mess that made a laughing stock out of production. The only way production could have hated it more is if say, Julia won instead of a fit young passably white male.

It's pretty incredible that you have been watching this show and posting in this thread for years, and think production would be mad that the big fit male challenge-strong player won the game because he took advantage of BOTH end-game mechanics that benefits the big fit male challenge-strong player.

What do I have to gain from playing again and probably getting voted out before the merge?" A: Even if you're voted out early you can stay on and possibly get back in the game. S38 was the trial run for the concept and it didn't go as planned but they stuck with it. ApplesandOranges posted:EoE aired before they flew out the cast for S40.

Lone Goat posted:They should've thought about that BEFORE they cast three generic charmless lunkheads! Yo, the season 33 lunkhead, Ken, is actually pretty cool. He's kind of a shy bullied kid in the body of a male model. On ep6 now The showmance between generic hot white girl 1 and this seasons idiot surfer boy is cracking me up because they are so loving oblivious to everything around them. The guy in particular is a huge dumbass, he was like openly whining when she suggested they hold off on PDA for a while. He thinks he has the numbers so he can do what he wants, but the other person with them loving hates their poo poo too! I truly hope they gently caress and get pregnant and the update to their life is they are fat and have awful kids. Michaela and Hannah together on a challenge was hilarious. Hannah seems like she'd be really frustrating to work with hahaha Ahahahah Michaela: "Yeah but there's three of you, if you can't figure out how to work together you get sent home" Oh man, I'm so pumped to see one of the couple get voted off just to see the one left behind squeelin. hahaha Jeff is an ordained minister and offered to marry them right there. oh poo poo! I legit did not expect figgy to get voted off kyaahahahahahahaha, I thought this dude Adam was going to no-balls it but he done did it. Good call getting her out too, the dude is loving dumb as hell, and I don't think people will find his reaction to it endearing. Unless they merge ASAP, seems like this dude whose name I don't even remember outside of his couple-nickname is screwed, not a fan of him Khanstant fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Jul 17, 2019 |

Ep7. Michaela "bye felicia'd the news of figgy leaving." She is amazing, she's the one I'm rootin to win. I do get the feeling she's going to be hilarious at the wrong time to the wrong person eventually though. Michelle: "I'm not going to change who I am for the game" in reference to her tribemates who pigged out and are doing mad gas releases. This is how I know she doesn't win. If she won't even do a fart to win, then what else won't she do? Oh jeez, Adam's move is already backfiring? They are starting to see this dude as a loveable idiot, because he has dumbass nonpinions? Ah gently caress. Michaelas bout to go home isn't she? She just laid out this plan with rocks and seashells and like made herself seem like the ultimate threat. Taken out by some florida bandana-rear end donger. "You did it, we didn't ask for slingshots!" Well gently caress. Michaela's gone. Can anyone tell me if this is worth not just speedrunning at this point? IDGAF about anyone else right now. Goddamn, if Jay could've held his poo poo in for one more goddamn day we coulda had Michaela post-merge, in jury, maybe winner. Oh, I guess Ken is still here but no way he gets too far, right? blegh Ep 8 Okay, there are people I want to see lose so found new motivation. Jay seems like a goner, he's already thinking he's a kingpin, but the death stare Michaela gave him after the blindside would obviously curse him to fail inevitably. Jay and surfer douche gotta fall, please. Otherwise I guess Ken and Zeke are aight, maybe worth a tenth of a Michaela. L M A O Adam trying to work with the dude who swore vengeance on him, to blindside an ally of taylor. Like, taylor seemed kind of like an eventual sitting duck but Adam just handed him a bunch of steam on an platter. Taylor just straight up stole and hid food, got seen by 2 people, and I think Adam's idiotic move here will keep him alive this time. Somebody random is going home I feel it. Or Adam, but I really want to see this reward steal used. Jeff really proud of how much harder they made this nickelodeon slime challenge. It's now gone on for 1.5 hours with 2 adam and jessica. Holy poo poo, I think you tell a difference between their tans from start of challenge to an hour and half + standing in straight sun. Hmm Adam is deffo going home, he's caught lookin like triple agent. He really couldve played this alright but he straight spazzin out. Welp, Michelle went. Really kind of an odd casualty when aiming at two or three other players that would have been more effective targets? This is like, a weird warning shot? Give them time to spazz out and retaliate. Jay or Taylor would have been sensible targets. Khanstant fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Jul 17, 2019 |

The Fall of FigTails is amazing because they would have been extremely obnoxious if they went on further. But because everyone got sick of them and booted Figgy, she’s a perfect premerge villain.

Hahaha Taylor and Jay wolf down the rest of the stolen food and now it looks like they're swinging this tribal back at Adam. All three of these dickweeds have got to go, but I feel like Taylor has officially come out as straight up villain that he will now be strung along to the end because everyone knows everyone hates them. Nevermind they sent his rear end home.

The merge vote is like the first vote - 'anyone but me, go for the safe option'. After that, lines become a bit more rigid and you can start playing around a little.

They should just call it Baby Ponderosa Oh snap, so nearing 33 has a beeg episode and this tribal gets a lil nuts. This boston guy starts getting all pissed off about the fact theyre like talking at tribal or whatever, it was funny to see him so impatient with all the chatter but he technically was right I guess. What I'm curious is if Adam just psyched David out to make him misplay his idol. If so, mega lol, ballsy moves. hahaha they're going to rocks!! These goddamn idiots what!!! drat, Jessica out, what a lovely way to go and one like easily avoided. Ahahaha Adam is the worst despite being such a tryhard. He's like stuck in the sand on this loved ones visit challenge and groanin like an idiot, being all "im sorry evan augh."He's not even like trying to improve his situation just kind of being pathetic.

If a video wasn't worth watching start to finish, they wouldn't let them put it on youtube. David's fake idol is pretty good, we've come a long way since that fuckin stick.
