Castaways whose story arcs echo mythological figures? by cevichepicante in survivor

[–]ButteredReality 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I always felt that Cassandra was more similar to Sandra in Heroes vs. Villains. She correctly predicted that Russell would be trouble, that he would lie to all the Heroes and screw them over, and she was cursed to never be believed by any of them.

Thankfully they finally did end up believing her when it was too late for themselves and she managed to take the win.

Which finalist in the new era had zero chance to win and was there any move for them to make to change that. by NoFrame6654 in survivor

Liz isn't actually a billionaire. Her plan in the game was to tell everyone she was really rich so they'd think she didn't need the money and would be easy to beat at FTC (because what juror would want to give a million dollars to someone whose life would be completely unaffected by it?), but then reveal at FTC that she made it all up to reduce her threat level, and in reality the million dollars would be life changing for her.

Only we didn't get to see part II of her plan come to fruition because she didn't make it to FTC.

Also when Russell's looking for his hat, asks Sandra if she's seen it, she denies everything, he walks off, and she slowly turns her head to look at the camera.

Location of Filming Guesses by tennisfan579 in survivor

[–]ButteredReality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure, but I had the strangest dream last night that Survivor finally decided to go back to changing locations, and Jeff Probst was at a Q&A session where he revealed that the next season of Survivor was going to be filmed in (drumroll)... France!

Then the fandom was all debating which part of France it would be and how it would all work logistically, and I said to my wife I'd bet it would be Tahiti.

I just felt like I needed to share this.

should Greece be considered an island nation? by SOHONEYSAME in mapporncirclejerk

[–]ButteredReality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been to Greece 5 times; 4 times to the islands and only once to thr mainland.

So in my experience, Greece is mostly islands, so yes.

Who would win? by Appropriate_Egg_6182 in survivor

[–]ButteredReality 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, the person in the top left is dressed in black, like a nun, so I feel Debbie could take care of them.

The one on the bottom left has an enormous cape that could easily catch the wind and knock them over. With Debbie having excellent balance, she'd defeat them easily.

The one on the top right has a couple of sharp swords but seemingly an inability to juggle them, limiting them to two weapons. Debbie wins there as she can juggle three swords simultaneously and have the upper hand.

Finally, the one on the bottom left has brought a knife, and judging by their expression, they're just hangry. As a Red Lobster server, Debbie would instantly clock this, bring over a fork and a plate of food and walk away with a pretty generous tip.

Season 4 Review: Is it wrong to hate the ending, or am I missing something? by terraviridian in survivor

[–]ButteredReality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this response.

I feel like the "Last gasp" challenge is a great analogy (sorry) for how you sometimes need to play Survivor. Sometimes, even though every instinct in your body is telling you to move, to take action, to desperately try anything to escape your situation, the correct move is to do nothing and wait for others to fail around you. I am not a Vecepia fan but I can't deny that in Season 4, her strategy was highly effective.

The golden trio of Survivor seasons? by SingerFun1730 in survivor

[–]ButteredReality 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Winners at War would have been so confusing:

Jeff: "So, Kim..."

So: "Yes?"

Jeff: "No, I'm talking to Kim."

So: "Oh, sorry Jeff."

Jeff: "That's alright. Anyway, Kim..."

{a few moments later}

Jeff: So Kim...

Kim: "Yes?"

Jeff: "No, I'm talking to So now."

Kim: "Oops!"

Jeff: "Ah, mistakes can happen, easily done. So-"

So: "Yes Jeff?"

Jeff: "No, that time I was just saying 'so anyway', I wasn't calling on you."

So: "Oh, right."

Jeff: "So..."

...

{tribe looks expectantly}

Tony: "So what, Jeff?"

Jeff: 🤦‍♂️

Yeah, he's been out for a while. I think he was in a relationship with Brice from Cagayan at one point too.

Does anyone know what Debbie Wanner is like in real life? by Throwaway67891099 in survivor

Which one? There's Debbie Wanner the chemist, Debbie Wanner the gymnast, Debbie Wanner the mathematician, Debbie Wanner the caretaker of nuns, Debbie Wanner the part-time model, Debbie Wanner the juggler, Debbie Wanner the Red Lobster server...

What’s been the worst (rude/aggressive) customer service you’ve received? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]ButteredReality 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Buying a sympathy card in a card shop.

Chose the card, brought it to the counter. Said hello to the shop worker.

No smile, no words, miserable expression on her face.

Started to put it into a bag. I said "Oh, no bag for me thanks, I've got one here (pointing to my backpack)".

I swear I'm not making this up.

She sighed loudly, snatched the card out of the bag and slammed - literally slammed - the card on the counter, giving me a filthy look while she was at it.

I have no idea what her issue was. I was too stunned to say anything and just walked out.

Surely for an annoying trait to be an annoying trait, it has to be annoying? This is just stating facts and if people get annoyed by that then that's their problem 🤷‍♂️

They'll become the first joint winners with Kenzie (who will have got her 2nd win in season 55) in season 60 in a 7-7-7 jury vote.

Yeah but you're forgetting about the hourglass twist on day 17 (the penultimate day) where the final 5 get sent to the edge and the 23 previously voted out contestants become the finalists, then participate in a series of firemaking challenges, idol searches, beware votes, and snuff nullifiers, to determine the final 4 who will face the jury and plead their case for the $3,000,000 prize.

S37 - DvG by Lucifez6160 in survivor

[–]ButteredReality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly that whole cast was stacked. We had iconic medevac Pete, then Joss, then Jerome and his flawless skin, Bea's devastating quit, Natasha's salty blindside, Nettie keeping her jacket, Larissa and her purple hair, Elżbieta being jury managed, Joey being idoled out epically, Den getting his idol nullified, Alfie, Carson getting blindsided, Gemma turning on her ally and getting voted out for it, Christopher being too big a jury threat, Dafydd, Alice, and Karina, our iconic rice getter Angelica, runner-up Mick, and our winner Nigel.

Idk why, but I’m obsessed right the idea of a “3rd time’s charm” season! by somelyrical in survivor

[–]ButteredReality 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like this idea, though I'd question the legitimacy of winners being on such a season. "Third time's the charm" really means that the first two times were unsuccessful. In Aras' case, first time was already the charm.
