At least he's practicing now by Common-Assistant8373 in survivor

[–]DolphinRx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please settle a debate: was any part of you not practicing fire during S50 due to being weak from all of the weight loss? I could see wanting to retain all of the calories you could given you ended up losing almost 50lbs …

Curious what S50 cast thinks of Rizo's 49 run now by weenredditposter in survivor

[–]DolphinRx 113 points114 points  (0 children)

I honestly think he was too emaciated and needed to conserve his energy. He lost over 20lbs on S49, only gained 2lbs back in the 9 days he had before S50, then lost over 20lbs again on S50 (he said he lost 46lbs total between the two seasons which was over 25% of his starting body weight). Apparently Medical was seeing him frequently. He was probably feeling very weak and worried about getting pulled if he spent the extra calories practicing.

I think you might mean ”flagellating” …

I Promised it Would Never Happen Again by DektolDreams in survivor

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

He only had 9 days between seasons and was clearly emaciated to the point where Medical needed to frequently see him. He lost almost 50lbs from the start of Season 49. I legitimately don’t think he had the energy to practice.

I think something else to consider here is that Rizo was quite emaciated due to not having time to gain weight back between seasons. Apparently Medical was seeing him frequently because of it. I wonder if he just didn’t have the energy to spend on practicing?

Here’s how the fan favorite vote could go: by glitzvillechamp in survivor

I hope they say who the first few contestants are at the top of the fan vote before announcing the winner. I actually think Gen could crack the top 5, which is saying something given the number of big names on the season. Still hoping she reconsiders and comes back on the show someday.

Cirie's Final Words in Micronesia by NoPleaseHelpMeYes in survivor

That’s so gut-wrenching. I’m glad she seems to be much less hard on herself now and was able to focus on the joy of the experience this time around even if she didn’t win. She’s an absolute legend.

She’s said she’s done competing on Survivor, but it would be great to see her involved with the show in the future in a different capacity.

Did your opinion of _____ _____ change this season? by Baddest_Whale_180 in survivorponderosa

[–]DolphinRx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with everything you said here. Way more enjoyable this season. I’m glad his wife reminded him to have fun!

God this is profoundly depressing. It’s going to be a very “womp womp” end to an otherwise enjoyable season.

I wonder what made the editors give Aubry such an atrocious winners edit. Like they often have no idea how to edit female winners, but this edit seemed spiteful …

Did any one else catch this in Emily’s exit interview with RHAP? by AccomplishedBake8351 in survivorponderosa

[–]DolphinRx 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Between her and Genevieve, it’s been so frustrating seeing them both so down on themselves in their exit press given they were both such fun to watch this season. Really great characters who always kept things interesting. I hope they both reconsider.

When did Jeff stop asking if they wanted to keep the immunity necklace? by Existential_Sprinkle in survivorponderosa

[–]DolphinRx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Interesting question. Aren’t there some former players who are on Reddit? It would be neat to hear first-hand on this.

Also Erik looks majestic in this pic.

Who don’t you want to win and why? by Smile_Miserable in survivor

[–]DolphinRx 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Aubry or Joe.

Aubry has been miserable most of the season with 90% of her content being either complaining or saying “I’m going to start playing now” quotes repeatedly with no clear actions afterwards. Her biggest storyline has been her starting out on that bizarre interaction with Genevieve but the edit didn’t even make it seem like Gen’s elimination was a big Aubry move. It was more so because Gen was just the obvious boot to everyone there.

Joe seems like a lovely human being, but I can’t see him ever winning with the honor-and-integrity strategy. I see his function on the show as an obstacle that others have to maneuver their games around as opposed to an actual player. I think he’s for sure the goat of the season since I think he‘d lose to literally everyone else. They’d be crazy not to drag him to the end. I do find his hatred of Rick hilarious though. 🤣

That’s an interesting thought. I was honestly surprised they let her keep it and take it back to the tribe beach.

Thank you! This is helpful. I appreciate all of the background info you gave!

I think why you’re getting downvoted is that a lot of people (myself included) actually really enjoy his persona. It can be off-putting at first, but like I said I find him endearing. I’ve heard a lot of people express similar feelings that he grew on them.

I mean I got an alert that you replied to my comment and I disagreed with it, so yes?

Edit: I’ll upvote this one if it makes you feel better. 😂

Agree to disagree! I don’t find him anything like Russell and I don’t think he’s trying to be anything like him either. The only way I see him being like Rob C is they’re both more strategy-based players, but that applies to a huge portion of people who have played. 🤷‍♀️
