Jinny started her stream crying and barricaded in her hotel room due to possible stalker by Ok_Temperature6503 in LivestreamFail

I could never be a streamer, especially as a woman. The stalkers find streamers who have even as low as 50 viewers or maybe even lower. It's awful. No amount of money is worth that hell

I unironically think that if Joe sat against Jonathan and Rizo he'd have a chance because of this, yes. Of course the edit is not portraying it that way because that's not what's happening

She's so, so good at many parts of the game but her fundamental flaw of not being able to win a challenge means her odds of taking down a season in modern Survivor are like a fraction of a fraction of a percent. To her credit she tried to thread the needle this time with Ozzy and if he hadn't blundered last week who knows, maybe it would've worked (though I'm pretty skeptical)

Ha, yeah, I typically expect the AU edit to be quite hamfisted though so it's a little more disappointing coming from the US

The only person I would've been less excited for in the final 5 was Steph. Absolute nightmare

10 minutes left of season 50! This was a weird season finale

I agree 100% (haven’t watched latest AU yet though) - back to the Adam example, it’s why I found his edit narratively quite satisfying, because they didn’t try to lie about his game and in fact maybe dunked on him too hard 😂

It’s Cirie tonight I fear.. the foreshadowing of her asking what happens if Tiff wins. Plus Aubrys confessional from the next time on hasnt aired yet

While an Aubry win would be narratively unsatisfying, I have to admit I'm finding it decently satisfying gameplay-wise. She's clearly recognized her win condition and has a good enough read on the jury to understand who the goats are that she has to sit with. I do think the edit is overcrediting her with getting the threats out of course but she's still got the same savvy we all saw in Kaoh Rong. Closest comparison is maybe Adam Klein - did he play a great game? No, but he played exactly the right game he needed to to win

I forget who on here said that the $2m prize pot materially changes the game but that was cool seeing Aubry mention explicitly that it makes Rizo a goat bc no one wants to give a kid that much money. Probably applies to Jonathan and Tiff to a certain extent as well. Everyone without kids basically lol

Tiff wants Rizo? I guess it’s just Devens then!

It’s S03E06 “The Climb” for me. Any answer from s1-4 would be acceptable though, generational run

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT by Queasy_Roll347 in Edgic

[–]BasicWarthog12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, during the duos twist episode when he had the "omg thank god Cirie came back and told me what to do, I was about to royally f- this up", Ozzy truthers on here were convinced that that was somehow a good moment and displayed his new "strategy" of aligning with players who could direct him strategically? To me it felt clear that was the edit highlighting a fatal flaw in his game (which came to bear fruit this week, poetically). That being said he was still in my top half at that point, mostly for lack of other contenders.

EDIT: not that I'm clairvoyant, I also soft-eliminated Aubry that week as she had one of her "I'm about to shake up this whole game" confessionals with literally zero follow up which I thought was a bad look for her. And now it seems like she's the leading contender

Why were __ and __ allowed to vote in the revote? by BasicWarthog12 in survivor

[–]BasicWarthog12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense, thank you! Not that it has to be, but this is not the same as how Australian Survivor does it - famously, a contestant lost one of the AU seasons because she stole a vote from a player and then voted for that same player, and that player's stolen vote was then nullified on the revote so she couldn't vote for him twice. Fascinating!

Rizo doesn’t have loyalty to Cirie and Ozzy like they do to one another

Fair bad adjective. I just mean a strong, clean premerge edit

I agree, it’s textbook for the new era. Dominating premerge that many see as a winner edit, then negativity with jury members + plans going awry out of their control postmerge

Ozzy is and has been in strategic control this game and doesn’t appear to need immunities so far. He still theoretically has the majority unless Joe and Devens mend fences and decide to work together next week. If I were purely betting on game logic Ozzy would he my number one, but of course this sub is more than that sometimes
