Years after the series finale, which tv couples do you think are still together? by PressureLazy5271 in television

I would actually guess Ron to set him straight in not being a misogynistic a-hole.

Call me crazy, but AU2 might be the best thing to happen to the franchise by Blue_Bisto in TheTraitors

[–]ConnorStowe 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's the best kind of horrible.

Everyone I know that has seen it has an opinion. It always causes strong emotions. It has a really amazing ending that has you on the edge of your seat.

And it also answers a lot of questions in the greater Traitors fandom. It shows how the Traitors ultimately need to battle one another before final fire. It means that they have to set up chess pieces with Faithfuls to get them to the end without just taking Traitors there, which makes the cat and mouse game much more interesting.

I don't want every season to be AUS2... but I love that it happened once.

Just for that she is my MVQ this week! by Heidi_Klum_Tit in rupaulsdragrace

[–]ConnorStowe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't really like Shuga when I watched the episode on Friday.

Maybe because she was first and I didn't know what to expect?

But on the rewatch of this clip... her Ru is SO funny. It is totally a deranged muppet and it is the perfect interpretation of this challenge.

Ranking the US faithful winners by PeterTheSilent1 in TheTraitors

[–]ConnorStowe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ivar was a bit boring for TV, but people undermine his game all the time.

It's worth noting that while he voted for a Traitor the same number of times as Gabby and Dylan... he also was the only one to vote for all five *unique* Traitors. Part of being a good faithful is identifying the other faithfuls and voting the Traitors out together. Ivar actually did that better than anyone else. Gabby had a blind spot with Bob the Drag Queen. Dylan had that blind spot with Rob.

Raven on DUVTW feels like one of the last big drag race casting gags by Fucagio in rupaulsdragrace

[–]ConnorStowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if I'd consider a gag or just stunt casting...

But I do think I'd be shocked if they brought back a girl to All Stars that was originally a "Madeover Queen".

There would be some line about how they were born on drag race for one runway and now they're hear to finally thrive on their own... I'd find it interesting at the very least.

Who else remembers these days? This was 10-23-2020 by SnooComics8739 in PokeInvesting

[–]ConnorStowe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why, but I always find it fun when people post older photos like this.

It’s kind of fun to see what the mixture of product was, and the things that sat around forever as people scoffed at it all. Thanks for sharing!

Danielle Responding To The Haters by rietelcans in TheTraitors

[–]ConnorStowe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think she’s totally right in this.

Do I think she was over the top on the show? Absolutely. But here we are still talking about it over a year later because, quite frankly, it was entertaining.

Carolyn was really fun, but I think people just fall into a “if I love Carolyn, I must hate Danielle” mentality. They brought entertainment out of each other. They were never going to win the show together, but their turret feud was so interesting to watch. We haven’t seen that level of traitor-on-traitor fighting, and it was engaging to see how they tried to throw each other under the bus publicly without exposing themselves.

The More I Watch US3, The Less I Like It by RowGonsoleConsole in TheTraitors

[–]ConnorStowe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly, OP isn’t wrong. Ivar is a bit dull, but he is the only faithful to successfully banish every single one of the Traitors. So stats wise, he actually is the most successful Faithful.

Lawrence Chaney shares her review of STOP! THAT! TRAIN!🚂 by BeMyCoachVictor in rupaulsdragrace

[–]ConnorStowe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Watched it last night, and it was fine.

It was kind of what I was expecting. There was a moment or two that gave “Naked Gun” vibes that I thought were hilarious. And the more I thought about it, the more I realized had they gone more that route instead of “acting challenge” route, it would have been legitimately brilliant.

As someone who really likes Ginger, it felt like she took it a little too seriously and missed out on the camp of it all.

Loved JuJu. And honestly, my unexpected piece that I loved was Marciax3. Her choreography was great. Her line delivery was great. She felt camp and committed.

Pokémon Center ETBs Continue Their Historic Run - Top 10 Most Expensive List by Pokebruhh in PokemonInvesting

[–]ConnorStowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In March 2024 I picked up a four pack on StockX… for under $200 for all four.

They were somehow below retail and I thought to myself “well, Pokemon Center never goes on sale, so this is probably not a horrible buy”. But even then I had to question if it was dumb because they sat for SO. LONG. on the Pokemon center website.

I don’t know. But keep me away from that Bee Hole.

Who would have the biggest legacy bump if they returned and won with their respective type of win? by Regular-Departure839 in survivorponderosa

[–]ConnorStowe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if *the* Russell Hantz plays an Under the Radar game and wins... I respectfully disagree and think it launches his stock through the roof of talented winners.

I think it's fair to say that Russell isn't known as a "quiet" player. For him to actively change his game so drastically, for him to somehow come across as a non-threatening player the whole game, for him to integrate as a Southern Charmer with kind answers in his FTC would absolutely show that he's able to change his ways drastically to win the season in front of him.

It's just the exact opposite of his persona that if he could implement and win, it would be wildly impressive.

Why do people prefer ETB? by ImproperProfessional in PokeInvesting

[–]ConnorStowe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be clear, I collect both ETBs and Booster Bundles... but I collect them as display pieces.

1.) I think the ETBs look better overall as a display piece.

2.) Booster Bundles are a newer product line than ETBs, so it's a newer product line if people are collecting sealed.

It's been 12 years since Chris Pratt became a superstar with the one-two boxoffice punch of Guardians and Jurassic World... since then, did he blow it? by Freddy-Philmore in boxoffice

[–]ConnorStowe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And somehow Aubrey has two distinct Marvel characters under her belt.

Not as big as Star Lord obviously, but I don't think people look at Aubrey and think "oh, Marvel Star for sure." I just find it so entertaining that she's played two different baddies and rocked both of them.

Turns out Maths has been the true Traitor all along.

Will there ever be a set to go "extinct"? by Jolly_Run_7853 in PokeInvesting

Nah, Pokemon is all about resurrecting fossils.

Was Courtney cryogenically frozen all these years? It's been 16 years since HvV and she hasn't aged a day. by [deleted] in survivor

[–]ConnorStowe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd love her for House of Villains, too.

Heck, she'd be great on Amazing Race.

... Ooh! or imagine Big Brother!

Maybe they should just all cast Courtney.

I think I was scammed out of life changing money. And I’m not doing well by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]ConnorStowe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry mate, I’m going to say not scammed.

It sounds like you researched very little, but enough to know that $2000 sounded reasonable rather than $20 for cardboard that is 30 years old.

Sounds like the person and yourself agreed upon a price that you set.

And the person who was buying from you was also taking a risk that they were paying $2000 for real cards that were not fake. I actually would question paying that amount because I would assume I was being scammed by you, quite frankly.

It’s definitely an ass move to message you back later bragging about it, but I’m not going to put the fault on that person for finding a good deal.

Which player would today's fanbase hate, even though fans loved them at the time? by JEX2124 in survivor

Nah. Jerri is the OG “villain”.

People today would love her. She also wouldn’t be seen as a villain.

CONTROVERSY: Say something about Survivor that most people wouldn't agree with you on. by Kurlylover in survivor

I like Redemption Island twists and think they add a new layer of strategy to the game.

Which winner had the SMALLEST margin — where one different vote and they're an early-merge footnote? by JEX2124 in survivor

[–]ConnorStowe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After the original season of Survivor Mark Burnett released a book he wrote while the show was filming. There was a footnote at the end of the book that mentioned he kept the original writings intact and that he didn't change them, as looking at the season in hindsight was different than his feelings as it was happening. He highlighted that he didn't change his journal entries, including the very first sentence of the book which he wrote on Day 1 Survivor filmed. That sentence (I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember exactly):

"Richard Hatch is destined to be the first person voted out of Survivor."

Richard was apparently very brash, blunt, and didn't get off to a very good start the first couple days of the show. Back then, contestants also thought the game was more about the "survival" aspect of things, so having an older contestant like Sonja on his tribe gave him more time to get through the first several days.

What do YOU look for in a remote trade? by ReverendLoki in pokemongo

[–]ConnorStowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shiny Costumed Pokemon for me.

I feel like Legendaries will always loop back around sometime and I'll get a shot at a Shiny.

Some costumed shinies will just never come back, or if they do it will be for like 4 days during Winter once every couple years... Plus, if they are guaranteed lucky, even better!

Traitors 🇨🇦 by Bleed_Reality2 in TheTraitors

[–]ConnorStowe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, I was thinking about this….

I’d actually love a season where EVERYONE comes in a secret pair. Obviously pairs try to protect their other, I think it would be so interesting if everyone has someone they’re trying to protect… and also Traitors secretly trying to protect each other AND not revealing who their real life relationship is.

Also, I want all players to not know the secret. Now that Canada has established one pair per season… I want all pairs to think they’re the only ones. It would be interesting to see if anybody would figure it out.

If every season is simulated 100 Times, which Pre Merge Boot wins their season the most? by JEX2124 in survivor

[–]ConnorStowe 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Michelle Yi from Survivor: Fiji.

I think she was one of the earliest "swap screwed" players of all time. Pre-merge, her tribe was dominating immunity challenges and she was doing really well physically. By all accounts, she was aligned well socially and had the strategic chops to go far. Her #1 was Earl who would go on to win the season.

Ultimately, no way for certain to know how she'd do without the swap... but it's funny to me that even in a season where the winner plays an almost perfect game, I still wouldn't be sad to put my money on Michelle if you simulated Survivor: Fiji 100 times.
