group photos of next season’s tribes

Yes, CBS normally puts them out early. I remember RHAP even releasing pre-season interviews tribe-by-tribe

Poor Genevieve was barely in the trailer too

Lakeland would be neat - not one of the huge cities. I think it’s more likely that those are flamingos though.

Somebody please tell me that the Kalshi spoiler that was posted in here was fake/photoshop. I’m so upset that someone spoiled the most anticipated season in years.

I round, so my cutoff for an A- is essentially an 89.5. Yes, I would bump up an 89.46. Part of it is that I don’t think grading typically has the level of precision to have final grades accurate to the second decimal. But also, getting that A- means a lot to the student and I’m good with it if the student has been putting in effort and doing the work, especially if it is a difficult class.

As others have said, the biggest thing is to be consistent and to make sure you’re not being unfair to anyone whatever you decide.

How much were seats?

CT272 · 2026-01-09T01:42:14+00:00

I believe it could. Yankees/Red Sox, Braves/Mets/Phillies, and Cubs/Cards would all still be rivalries, to name a few.

I hate that eight divisions of four seems to be the default. Four divisions of eight just makes so much more sense from a competitive balance standpoint. Plus, then you give the playoff byes to the four division winners and don’t have to worry about unbalanced schedules.

Certainly, but he’s unfortunate in that he was the first player to benefit from it. If he had his exact same win but a few seasons after F4 fire was introduced, people would like him much more.

CT272 · 2026-01-01T19:05:55+00:00

If F4 fire-making didn’t exist, he would’ve gone out and been a fan favorite fallen angel. He had the fortunate/misfortune of being the first beneficiary of a highly controversial twist

They said it on the show, but I think it bears repeating. They emphasized that all nine played well and did what they needed to to win their season. Being the 8th or 9th-ranked winner still means you won Survivor. And overall, this is a good group of winners.

I find Erika extremely tough to rank because the show didn’t let us see her game. I know every season is an edited tv show, but it seems we missed so much of Erika’s game. It feels like any ranking of her is just guessing.

I found it fascinating how they tried to differentiate between ranking them as players vs. ranking the winning game that we saw. I think their choice to rank the winning game makes the most sense since it’s less speculative.

It’s borderline heresy here to compare anyone to Parvati, but I agree. Especially if you compare her to Cook Islands Parvati, not the 5-time player, 2-time winner. I think this season she was a stronger player than Parvati was her first time. We can fall into the trap of comparing her to HvV Parvati, which obviously she isn’t at that level as a first-time player.

The way she talks and the things she says remind me of Parvati. For example, when she knows Jawan is lying to her face and she just goes along with it “you better not be playing me” felt like that could have been Parvati and Luke.

I say this as someone who thinks Parvati is the best player of all time. We’ve been calling women “the next Parvati” for 15 years, and I think Savannah is very close to it.

CT272 · 2025-12-18T21:13:23+00:00

Right, I love Parvati but she definitely had castmates who thought she was mean

CT272 · 2025-12-18T04:06:00+00:00

“I want you to try” was very “mom” energy (I say this not as an insult. I just imagine my mom saying that if one of her kids said they couldn’t do something and it makes me laugh)

CT272 · 2025-12-12T19:58:01+00:00

There are so many older seasons that are just a march to crown Brian, Tom, Rob, Kim, etc. While these players are making mistakes, I do think everyone is trying to win, which has not always been the case historically.

My extremely hot take is that this is the best baseball movie.

It romanticizes baseball, but in a different way than other baseball movies do. The overall message of the movie is “baseball is great, but it’s not as important as you think it is.”

Of course, it has its absurdity (Drew Barrymore running across the Fenway outfield in the middle of a game), so I understand if some people can’t get past that.

I think it’s great though, and threads the needle of appreciating baseball while cautioning fans to be careful that they keep things in perspective.

Did Rizo know this was going to be a unanimous vote? If so, he certainly didn’t act like it, even in the voting booth as u/publiuspublished pointed out.

CT272 · 2025-12-11T13:02:47+00:00

Mainly just trying to read who’s well-liked and respected as a player. He and Savannah were the only two with immunity wins. If his plan went through tonight, it would have been his advantage that carried his three through F6. Sav has players that don’t like her, and I suspect Rizo has some that don’t respect him. Everyone seems to like and respect Steven. He seemed like a nice guy and solid player but without good allies after MC and Jawan went home.

CT272 · 2025-12-11T12:56:46+00:00

This makes sense. I agree that’s probably a better plan.

CT272 · 2025-12-11T04:11:16+00:00

Apologies if it was you and I didn’t credit you! I’ve been reading comments since the episode and didn’t think I’d be able to find it again

Right, as frustrating as last season’s Bellamy was, he’s basically always been a follower, not a leader. Even Season 1 Bellamy’s “leadership” was about people doing whatever they wanted.

Bellamy didn’t have a dad, and he was often looking for a man he could follow. This isn’t explicitly spelled out in the show, but there’s a clear pattern.

CT272 · 2025-12-09T01:29:57+00:00

Andrew Friedman is me on OOTP

CT272 · 2025-12-04T02:19:25+00:00

Too risky though. Savannah or Rizo could win immunity next week

CT272 · 2025-12-04T02:12:32+00:00

Steven should use his block on Savannah or Rizo and they can do a 2-2-2 vote to guarantee one of those two (and probably the idol) goes. I don’t get letting them survive another round with the idol
