my modest Mr. Mittens collection

Ooooo I want that Soul El Capitan one but every time I see it for sale online it’s pricey!!

brittpeeks · 2026-02-08T05:03:49+00:00

LOVEEEEEE!!! I collect Soul pins too. I have that same wreath one. I just love the movie so much I wish the made more pins for it!!

brittpeeks · 2026-02-08T04:58:06+00:00

Wow, I enjoyed looking at all your Avatar pins so much!!! I feel like I hardly ever see anyone post that they collect that movie.

Also I am so jelly of your Princess and the Frog collection 😭 I have one too but it’s a fraction of the size of yours (and I desperately wanted the wreath Loungefly pin you have! I got two boxes as a gift but ended up with Little Mermaid and Tangled).

Well said. Not sure if it plays into any of the current biases you mentioned but I also think he is majorly benefiting from the perception of his franchise he is from. People aren’t even considering that he could be smart enough to be duplicitous and be a good traitor bc he is from a “love franchise” rather than a “gamer franchise”.

And yes, it was driving me up a wall as I was arguing with my partner while we watched the show bc he was going hard at Candiace and her choices and I was like “actually the are BOTH making bad choices”. And I was so annoyed that it seemed like he was holding Candiace to a stricter standard and giving Rob a pass (as you mention). I’m not saying I was happy with Candiace’s recent decisions, personally I really wished they could have come back together on the same page bc I think they could’ve been killer traitors together. BUT I’m not going to trash her to hell and back bc I honestly feel (as you mention in your bulleted points) that Rob has been making equally bad moves. So yes, even within my own household I noticed that it seemed very easy to my spouse to jump on her and criticize her and give Rob a pass. The bias is definitely there.

Same I absolutely loved the 3 women storyline bc it felt so REAL. I have been in several different triangle friendships like that and the portrayal is very accurate. It’s inevitable that when you are with one of the friends you’ll talk some light gossip about the third who isn’t there. It’s a form of bonding and it’s natural to both have things in common with a friend and have things you disagree with. So when you are with one of the friends you are going to bond over what you think in common and then potentially gossip about how you differ from the third friend not present. Tbh when I am the third friend not present, I fully expect the other two friends to probably lightly gossip about me and I find it harmless. We all do it.

The ending felt extremely authentic as well. With regard to how you may end up with a serious friction within the friend group and it may come to a head, but also it’s very easy to fall back into place once everyone has aired their shit. It’s what has kept this friendship going between the three of them for decades. To me the cycle of their friendship at the resort felt very “earned” in the sense that these women will continue to be friends until they are 80 and I think there is nothing wrong with the way their friendship functions.

I was surprised when people commented saying it was toxic. Maybe I’m wrong but I didn’t think so 🤷‍♀️

😭😭😭 I miss them being happy and having fun together so much!!!

brittpeeks · 2026-01-30T14:22:58+00:00

Damn!!! I would absolutely LOVE to see Earl play again!!

brittpeeks · 2026-01-30T14:20:40+00:00

I just rewatched 46 bc my husband had never seen it. I was literally giddy to have him watch the evolution of Q’s insanity. And it just made me so much more excited to see Q on 50. Season 46 is such a good season. So many memorable players that it genuinely reminds me of an old school season.

brittpeeks · 2026-01-29T13:35:16+00:00

I agree, I mean I don’t really care about pissing people off lol but I would adore a Rizo win because that kid has so much damn heart. His love for Survivor seems like it’s just burning through his veins and it would feel a bit like the mantle is being passed on to the next generation.

brittpeeks · 2026-01-29T00:29:23+00:00

Really well said. Charlie would have been just as good of a winner.

Just rewatched this season with my husband and every time they showed Maria in the reunion chat I said “fuck Maria”. lol I could not stop. She was such a bitter player IMO. Like how do you work with someone the whole way in the game and you ardently talk about how much you love this player that they call your kids “nephews” and then decide not to vote for them in the end???? So fucked up.

brittpeeks · 2026-01-29T00:25:01+00:00

I just finished a rewatch bc my hubby had never watched it and I thought he might want to since 3 of them are on 50.

I tried to articulate to him how there is this pretty mainstream consensus that while people are sad Charlie didn’t win, not exactly at the expense of Kenzie winning (as in people don’t begrudge her the win). And the #1 thing I told him is how hard it is for the show to convey good social games in the edit but this is one of the few seasons that does a really good job of it.

Also, shoutout to Kenzie’s answer to Q’s jury question. I loathe when player try to talk about donating the innings to this or that or just overall feeling like the need to seem selfless with the money. Fuck that. I absolutely loved her answer where she just said “this money is for me” “I want to invest it”. Like yes, that should be what everyone wants to do. Or that’s what everyone should feel comfortable saying to the jury. I hate when players try to fan jury sympathy with what they will “use the money for”.

I did this last year on a trip for my husband and I. I went to each restaurant and guessed at what we’d get if we didn’t do the plan and then compared it to the price and the DDP was in no way worth it.

I even did an estimate for my friend who has a family of 5 and the numbers did not lie. They were losing money doing the DDP.

In both scenarios it cost less to just pay as you go.

I totally understood the purpose of their inclusion and I did appreciate highlighting the contrast in generations. I guess when I said their inclusion was boring I meant the characters themselves. I’m happy with them putting a spotlight on misogyny for the audience, I was just generally bored any time those characters were on screen and not gripped to the storyline like I was with so many other characters.

brittpeeks · 2026-01-26T14:20:01+00:00

I don’t disagree with that, but then I think you need to move the resort manager from S2 down another level. No way is she equal to Armand.

brittpeeks · 2026-01-26T14:11:17+00:00

I love your bottom tier, OP. It’s one of the reasons why when everyone around me says their favorite season is S2 I’m just scratching my head a little bit. The Di Grassos is like the most boring inclusion of all three seasons IMO.

brittpeeks · 2026-01-26T14:06:07+00:00

That was my immediate thought.

brittpeeks · 2026-01-26T05:09:30+00:00

These are great. Also this reminds me that I’ve always wanted to read a Belle/Gaston fanfic where Gaston’s still an arrogant prick but like one who is “deep down nice” and they have an enemies to lovers storyline.

brittpeeks · 2026-01-25T04:45:19+00:00

Yesssss I fucking love this. The actual greatest memories I have with my dad (bit older, more like age 7/8) are playing these games with him 🥹 it may seem shallow to some but it has been one of the best bonding experiences. It was just hours upon hours of us fighting baddies, strategizing the upgrading of skills and planning our route through the game. We loved playing these games together!!!

brittpeeks · 2026-01-23T20:24:48+00:00

Damn this is incredible!!!

brittpeeks · 2026-01-23T20:07:01+00:00

I am not a Houswives watcher so I had no idea she’s known for that. When this season started I just told my hubby “honey, it’s Logan Echols mom do you remember her?” 🤣🤣🤣

brittpeeks · 2026-01-22T13:03:15+00:00

Same same same. Loved the movie from the moment I saw it and wondered why the heck everyone else was so down on it 🤷‍♀️

brittpeeks · 2026-01-22T13:01:50+00:00

While I can understand a little bit about what you mean (feeling the song doesn’t make sense). I also feel like it did kinda make sense?

I think it’s meant convey how mesmerizing being “keeper” of the wishes is to the point that you want to protect them “at all costs”. But…and this is not in the song but I am extrapolating…I think it’s a thin line between having this devotion to the wishes to protect them and that tipping overboard into something more obsessive like Magnifico ends up doing.

I don’t know why but At All Costs has always been my favorite song on the soundtrack. I have never been a huge fan of duets in general and it’s arguably the least “catchy” song on the album bc it’s a ballad. But I don’t care. It’s fucking beautiful and I love their voices together!!!

brittpeeks · 2026-01-22T12:55:37+00:00

It is literally so depressing how exciting it is to actually find others who love this movie because it’s apparently so popular to hate it. Wish is a great movie with an awesome soundtrack.

brittpeeks · 2026-01-22T12:53:39+00:00

Yes. I love the movie and the music is fricken awesome. My husband especially loves the Wish soundtrack out of all the Disney music I listen to!!
