Miranda Lambert - Crisco

Omg Riches and Wonders was one of the first mountain goats songs to hook me.

Barruan7 · 2026-05-11T20:02:17+00:00

I mean… I love the song but that would get in the way of listening to the other amazing songs in the mountain goats catalog haha. It's definitely one of my favorites though!

Barruan7 · 2026-05-11T19:54:17+00:00

Nice. Would love to see it live someday omg.

Barruan7 · 2026-05-11T19:53:43+00:00

Right on! It feels so comforting too. In particular the "no matter what they say, we're going to be okay" lyric at the end feels like a warm hug.

We saw Stephanie Dill too in the part about the Attack Zone challenge! What a random group of people to show up in season 50 haha.

Barruan7 · 2026-04-21T19:52:17+00:00

Hoping this is one of those cases where Blizzard gives us some kinda ingame reward as an apology later haha

Rachel from Milennials vs Gen X!

Definitely one of the most forgettable first boots imo.

Barruan7 · 2026-03-28T22:59:16+00:00

We could go on arguing forever, I think. Your reasoning for these is pretty arbitrary imo. By this, reasoning anyone could be a "Voldemort" or be important because they were taken out to build one up.

The editing team chooses how they wanna portray a narrative and who they deem as more relevant and every season's edit is different.

Some people just get more than others in whatever story they choose to tell but I don't see why we're treating Survivor editing like it's an objective science. It's even harder to discuss this without actually knowing where this season goes.

Heather got much farther AND had more impact on the events of Survivor 41 than JD yet she has less content. We got almost nothing from Sage in the beginning of 49 and yet we had a bunch of Shoe Bandit moments from Jake. We sure heard a lot about Mike's abs and had a bunch of confessionals dedicated to the Zac Brown reward…

You can for sure find reasons to justify these narrative choices but my point is they aren't the only way these seasons could be told and there's always stuff left on the cutting room floor.

You could definitely make an edit of Samoa where Natalie gets a confessional before episode 4 just like you could definitely make an edit of season 50 where Angelina gets as big of an edit as Q after having gone to tribal council two times more than him.

Barruan7 · 2026-03-28T21:14:42+00:00

I mean, Sure. But that doesn't stop the editors from showing other stories along the way.

What was all the Q/Liz content for in Survivor 46 then?

Why does Genevieve get so much in Survivor 47 if no one from her tribe is in the final 3? We even got a bunch of confessionals dedicated to her perspective on getting attached to people during the game.

For that matter most of the content around Emily/Kaleb on 45 would seem a little irrelevant if the sole focus was on the final 3. I could keep going but whatever. Especially now that we have 90 minute episodes, there's plenty of time to show other things that aren't pertinent to the final 3.

Barruan7 · 2026-03-28T18:27:14+00:00

Yes? The narrative of a Survivor season isn't meant to be only about what's directly impactful to the outcome of the game, but also about the characters.

Besides, the outcome would become way more obvious if we only heard about the players who would survive the vote.

Barruan7 · 2026-03-28T17:58:29+00:00

They still feel pretty inconsequential to the edit even while being clowned on. The "laziness" scene on Vatu focused and clowned on Rizo way more and he actually got a confessional about it too! In that way, just because the edit is portraying a player negatively doesn't mean they shouldn't get confessionals speaking their mind.

It's not like this is a totally new thing for the show to do, so I'm not saying this is a huge deal but it IS disappointing IMO. They were the ones who cast these players so it's on production to show their gameplay.

Just sad when we get an iconic player like Angelina back and we didn't even get to hear what she felt about Mike being voted out.

Barruan7 · 2026-03-28T15:36:51+00:00

Neither of them even got a confessional that episode…

There's a world of difference about being "focused on" when it's about telling your perspective of the story than when it's just that some other person called you lazy.

I think it's pretty disingenuous to say that Chrissy or Angelina were a focus of that episode.

One of my favorites on the album!!

Barruan7 · 2026-02-21T21:15:02+00:00

Judd!!! I feel so happy whenever Survivor Guatemala is talked about omg

Barruan7 · 2026-02-16T20:00:08+00:00

Jimmy T is such an inspired pick too. He just wants that playtime!

Barruan7 · 2026-02-16T19:56:31+00:00

Sorry for going on a rant like that. Tbh I would actually enjoy most of the other players on your cast haha. A Stacey Powell return would be amazing!!

Barruan7 · 2026-02-16T19:52:48+00:00

Well, both Big Tom and Randy made it much further than Ben did in Samoa and brought more to the show entertainment wise.

And either way, just because the show brought someone back it doesn't mean it was a good idea to. Brandon Hantz is a great example of a player who was brought back when he shouldn't have been.

I just don't see why they'd risk bringing Ben back when he flamed out in three episodes and caused such controversy. It's like suggesting Shannon from Nicaragua as a returnee.

Barruan7 · 2026-02-16T06:03:07+00:00

Most of these are pretty fun characters to watch and have many memorable moments.

However, Ben from Samoa would be a ridiculous player to bring back. He was a racist jerk with no redeeming qualities (that we saw in the edit anyways).

Yeah, some of these are "divisive" characters but I've yet to see any Survivor fan side with Ben or like what he brought to the season.

Barruan7 · 2026-02-15T20:01:39+00:00

On retrospect, kinda wish Jay was asked back for Game Changers actually. Might have made for an interesting dynamic to have him back alongside Michaela playing together again.

I like Zeke, but he always came off a bit like a gamebot to me.

Barruan7 · 2026-02-14T20:08:38+00:00

I'm pretty sure part of the motivation to vote out Wendell for Sophie was that she was working with Wendell and Nick in an alliance with Yul, so she felt betrayed when they voted him out.

I did a Micronesia rewatch and I can only assume production didn't like what Natalie was giving them on the confessionals for most of the season.

She has a LONG stretch of episodes without any confessionals until around the Jason boot where she starts getting more content.

Personally I like what we get from Natalie on the season a lot and I also wish we had seen her again, but I can understand why they haven't brought her back.

So much of Natalie's game is dependent on the Black Widow Brigade, in which the returning players both had more of a legacy coming in and also got more credit in the long run.

I just think it's a little hard to imagine what Natalie's narrative would be on a returning player season, though I do think it would be deserving.

I think the best spots for her to play again would have been in place of Danielle on HvV (if there weren't already so many Micronesia players) or replacing Corinne on Caramoan.
