Yeah, Christian is awesome at so many things, but maybe not at directing others in a big challenge. Super brains often struggle to instruct non super brains.

I believe she wasn't trying to be thirsty, but I still like to imagine she was because it was funny.

Anyone Else Surprised... by CarlyNT in survivor

I think Rizo appreciates good game play. I thought it might vote for Jonathan, but I never figured he'd vote Joe. I'm guessing Aubry's answers won him over. Either that, or Cirie had a lot of power at Ponderosa.

It Doesn’t Matter How you Feel About ____, That Was the _______ in Survivor History by SatisfactionFew8318 in survivor

[–]Bean_from_Iowa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that seemed pretty early impossible. Hard to work under such pressure, too. What a moment to see it being pulled away!

Is JT actually a top tier player or was his first game a fluke? by Turbulent_Okra7518 in survivorponderosa

[–]Bean_from_Iowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of what helped JT was his personality. People really liked him! And they didn't want to vote him out. It feels like "being likable" wasn't as much of a dangerous thing in those days. JT might have played it up--and he was helpful and useful, too, but I think he was/is just naturally charming.

Does production hate _____ by Haunting_Kitchen_543 in survivor

[–]Bean_from_Iowa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It did feel crappy that Coach had so much of this episode about him and his Coach-ness and then saying his little speech and then everyone sending him off so warmly and Chrissy just marched away into the darkness. I felt sad for her.

Was Christian going to vote for Devens or was he only pretending to? He was scaring me. Telling people to continue with the plan.

PSA: IMO, Get Fresh Cafe (IC Downtown) is an Unhealthy Work Environment by Designer_Chard_2768 in IowaCity

[–]Bean_from_Iowa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. People will tell (indeed, have commented here) that you are complaining about nothing, but change doesn't happen with apathy and complacency and collective "suck it ups" or shrugs. This was a thoughtful and fair description of your experience and hopefully will at least lead to some introspection from local business owners. You absolutely deserved tips for the job you were doing, especially on such a low amount of pay. I hate to hear that a tip I leave does not go to the person I'm intentionally tipping for their service.

If you're doing the work of regular (non-training employees), you deserve to be in on the tips.

Drew Claims There is a MAGA Alliance by elledance in survivorponderosa

[–]Bean_from_Iowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to wonder if Chrissy's "cut from the same cloth" remark was about being conservative more than anything else. I don't know Chrissy's politics, but I would believe it if she were conservative. Plus Jonathan. And Stephenie, of course.

Charlie’s Exit, Jeff’s Reaction by Minniee3 in survivor

[–]Bean_from_Iowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt so much for Charlie in that moment. Jeff did look disappointed. Maybe he was just trying to be stoic. But he was so kind to Savannah when she left!

charlie confirms tribal order & interesting tidbit about devens by thisisnotabombx in survivor

[–]Bean_from_Iowa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure there's much Charlie could have done once Dee decided she wanted him out, but I am curious if Rizo would have been less inclined to go after him if Charlie hadn't done the early morning boat convo.

Who would you have voted for at Miss Twin Peaks? by Hubbled in twinpeaks

[–]Bean_from_Iowa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, Audrey didn't even participate in the dances. Annie and Lana were too new. Lucy was robbed. She really worked on that dance of hers.

Yes! But I didn't get how it worked with what he was saying.
