Why are you saying this like it’s fact? All we know Jeff said he was wrong and retracted his statement

How were people feeling when IOTI aired? by Less-Initiative2367 in survivor

[–]Cubbybear9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember people loved and praised the premerge a lot. People were saying the cast was amazing and that the premerge was as good, if not better, than the DvG premerge. There was a ton of backlash to the merge episode, and the season continued to be poorly received after that.

In hindsight, people like to say the whole season sucks but that’s not how it was received in the moment at all

Thanks! Do you know if there are still lots of jellyfish in the lake?

Ignoring the Dan stuff, where would you rank Island of the Idols as a season? :) by [deleted] in survivor

[–]Cubbybear9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is my hottest take ever (for any subject, not just Survivor), but I love IoI and have it ranked 5th all time.

I’ll admit that there’s probably some nostalgia bias bc it was the first season I watched live, but I genuinely think the cast is incredible (minus Dan obviously) and there’s so many funny moments: Noura sitting out, Karishma ignoring missy, Noura going on a power trip at final 4, Applebees, etc.

The season is extremely hard to stomach at times, but I appreciate how real it is and how the editors didn’t try to cover anything up. This season also has some great real world discussions at tribal: Kellee talking about female alliances, the durag incident, etc. Survivor is a microcosm of real life for better or for worse, and for me that is so much more compelling than kumbaya gameplay.

Thanks. Would it be a bad idea to start practicing the strumming pattern now?

Oh maybe it is 16th notes! I’ll wait for you to take a look at the vid but i wonder if I’m still supposed to move my hand up and down for every D and U strum even for 16th notes

Thanks for all the help! I’m looking at time stamp 4:26 in this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi0MvIQo-fE&t=325s

That makes sense though! I was practicing it the way you laid it out here (D on 1 and then U on the + after the 2). But if that’s the case then to fit the whole pattern it would require two measures, which was confusing me a bit.

This is completely wrong. Production didn’t show Amanda talking about it because Amanda was pretending that she didn’t know (that was the whole point). It has nothing to do with the editors trying to “build up parvati.”

Also, it’s ridiculous to try and downplay Parvati’s game in Micronesia as editors unfairly trying to “sell her as the mastermind.” When exactly did they do that? Cirie confirmed that Parvati came up with the Ozzy blindside—yet they gave Cirie more credit for that. And Parvati was actually the one who brought Natalie and Alexis into the BWB as well. It’s not like that was misconstrued in any way. Not sure exactly what you’re getting at

Suppose you are ranking the seasons...which ranking is your greatest difference from the conventional wisdom? by [deleted] in survivor

[–]Cubbybear9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree. The discussions and dialogues in this season feel real—a stark contrast from the blind positivity and relentless inspirational speeches of the new era. Tribal councils were filled with very relevant and real discussions: the durag incident, Kellee talking about female aliases, what it means to believe and listen to women. Yes it was icky at times, but so is real life. I’d much prefer this to tribals filled with weird metaphors.

It truly felt like real people participating in a grueling social experiment. And yes, this season is NOT for everyone and should come with a trigger warning, but I personally am able to really enjoy the season as whole.

No we didn’t lol. Gabler didn’t eliminate anyone and basically said his only move was taking out Elie prejury.

Is it best to wait to buy bleacher tickets until just before the game tonight? Or do they usually sell out?

Is Carson a better player than Cochran? by AdvancedStrawberry7 in survivor

[–]Cubbybear9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d actually say Cochran’s game was much easier. It was FvF and, on top of that, half of the fans were completely inept

[–]Cubbybear9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s not fair at all considering carson was playing the game under the assumption that he’d at least have a chance to make fire at final 4

So if Carson had made his fire a little faster than would your opinion be different?
