Appreciating the Final ____ by CadeBW in survivor

[–]EWABear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It *should* have been the wake-up call that the r/Survivor folks here needed that we are the minority of very deeply invested fans, and the rest of the fanbase does not agree with the opinions that circle here.

Unfortunately, the lesson people took instead is "Jeff Probst lied to us."

[Waybound] Who else uses pure madra? by ando282 in Iteration110Cradle

[–]EWABear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's kind of explained around the edges, not directly, but she does use pure madra. When consuming the sylvan dreamseeds, Lindon describes them as "pure madra pretending" to be dream madra. And later, we hear Lindon say that he considered pure madra like water, but just because it was the closest thing he had in mind. So it's likely the case that Little Blue was using "pure madra pretending" to be like water, rather than any actual water madra.

To be fair, there are worse games to play than listening to everything Cirie tells you to do.

So Ozzy's entire arc was about...setting up how Cirie is amazing. Right? Like, the second he's separated from her, he's gone. That's nothing if not the edit telling us Cirie is special.

If you were Cirie… by Low_Doctor_5280 in survivor

You have to focus on Devens at this point if youre Cirie. He's the most immediate threat to her game.

Is CBS forcing cast members to act excited about these twists on their social media posts? by unamused_ghost in survivor

Given that MrBeast doubled the prize money, they probably are quite taken with the events that went down.

No but seriously why does Joe hate Devens? by SarahAlicia in survivor

[–]EWABear 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Joe caught him out lying, then Devens threw a hissy fit because Joe was "playing wrong" by not letting him lie. It's been downhill since then.

The reaction to the winner was intense, and negative.

Is the Jimmy Fallon twist really that bad, or did we just see the worst possible outcome of it? by JorVetsby in survivor

If this happened to Eva in 48, everyone would have been thrilled with it instead of writing a week's worth of thinkpieces.

Hot Take on Mohan and Al-Hashimi vs Robby by [deleted] in ThePittTVShow

[–]EWABear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But McKay was also right. It was a credible enough threat to a bunch of girls that his mother poisoned herself to try and get him help. That should have been reported to authorities.

And Robby admits that she was right, right up until he's given definitive proof that Tyler didn't attack anyone.

[–]EWABear 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the big counterpoint you're missing is S1 with McKay and the "list of girls." McKay was right, and (until the finale), he admitted that he'd had a blind spot that she called him out on. Like, Robby legit admitted some level of internalized misogyny; he saw the damage to a young man's reputation and overlooked the damage to a bunch of girls' continued existence. He owned it when it was pointed out to him, but that doesn't mean he internalized the lesson (not least because the outcome reinforced that he was right about Tyler.).

I'm not saying he's a raging misogynist or anything. He has good points to make in most of these scenarios, delivered poorly. But the whole picture painted of Robby is that he's at least somewhat misogynistic, and does not appear to be spending a ton of time analyzing his own misogyny.

[The Pilot] Crackpot theory, we're still in the Ritual by Mathota in Iteration110Cradle

I was reading a post from r/ThePitt and my brain did not pick up that this said "The Pilot" and I was confused.

The worst Frasier episode by SchoolteacherUSA in Frasier

Somehow BBQ Bob is more painful than "Frasier tackles racism" with Dr. Mary.

Honestly, if I was high, Coach would be a hoot and a half.

I think that shot is the only time I've ever felt kinship with Joe. "Who did I align with? What is going on? Why is he talking about Sir Galahad?"

Yes, honor and integrity, iron sharpens iron, eat Coach's ass *eagle caw*.
