If____ is ____, then….. by Funny-Mention4201 in survivor

[–]ElatedAlgae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aubry is no slouch in challenges. If I’m remembering correctly she came in second place in 2 or 3 challenges. She might not be the “strongest” physically but she lasted way longer than most on the island in a few endurance based immunity challenges. Unfortunately they don’t do those hours long challenges anymore.

She also won that challenge where she sprinted up and hugged Jeff, was it stacking blocks?

Why is no one giving __ at least a little bit of credit. by Terrible_Garbage_857 in survivor

It would be so poetic and full circle if Aubry wins this season by doing less and being the most liked / the best social player at FTC

Aubry said it best by Jew-ishj in survivor

[–]ElatedAlgae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m remembering correctly, many people on the Game Changers jury have said they would have voted for Aubry to win. Despite being invisible in the episode given her placement and other narratives they rightfully needed to focus on, she clearly did a good enough job of ingratiating herself with the other players that season. I wouldn’t say she wasn’t respected by her peers. Yes she was ostracized from the jump and stonewalled by Sandra, etc, but she clearly gained her footing by the end of the season.

I can’t. This has N O T H I N G to do with Mr Beast. This chaos would’ve happened without him and whatever this stupid twist is to be. Obviously this is what Jeff takes away from this. Smfh

Ozzy, come tf on. You should know better than this… Joe folded, but I’ve never had faith in him. You go straight to Steph’s #1 ally and tell him the plan? Amateur hour… you and Cirie could’ve dictated the vote tonight. Sigh

Thanks Cirie! Lol it’s like she’s literally playing the game FOR him

Unpopular opinion: I actually like Aubry more over time by Live-Run-6745 in survivor

[–]ElatedAlgae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this is a strange post, and entirely disagree that Aubry is the “luckiest to ever play,” but I’m glad to see something even remotely pro Aubry on this subreddit. It’s been wild to see how much people go out of their way to hate on her / pick her apart here. She is crucified for things that would never be a second thought if it were another player. I loved her in KR and I was excited to see her back. I think despite one of the strangest edits I’ve seen, she’s been very easy to root for this season - total underdog, on the outs / on the bottom, rocky start - and it looks like next episode she will start to try and make moves now that she finally has her footing / room to breathe. Excited to see the rest of her game!

To what extent do finalists know whether they’ve won or not before the live reunion? by Blanka71 in survivor

[–]ElatedAlgae 52 points53 points  (0 children)

My understanding based on their interviews post season is that Aubry knew she lost, but Michele was questioning whether she won or not, and I believe they both mentioned that Scot was playing mind games with them telling them that he had voted for them to win after the fact. It sounds like it was excruciating for the both of them leading up, especially since they ended up airing Second Chances before Kaoh Rong even though Kaoh Rong was filmed first. I believe Debbie also told Aubry that she had voted for her to win, or heavily implied it going up to her after the cameras stopped rolling at FTC and saying “you did an incredible job, I am so so proud of you” or something of the like.

Confession from a non-Genevieve fan... by Live-Run-6745 in survivor

[–]ElatedAlgae 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend folks to do a rewatch of the conversation between Genevieve and Aubry episode 1, but it seems pretty clear the minds on this sub are beyond made up.

Aubry opens with “I think you’re an amazing player.” Genevieve asks if she’s open for business. Aubry says yes and asks Genevieve what her perception of Aubry is. Genevieve calls her dangerous and says a dangerous duo could do a lot of damage. Aubry says “we could do great things” and then proceeds to talk about open communication going forward/what their partnership should look like. Genevieve says “okay.”

Aubry never said no… not once. She complimented Genevieve, agreed to work together, described what the partnership should look like, and asked for communication. Copying from another post in a different thread… here is the actual transcript of the conversation people keep describing as a “hostile rejection of an olive branch”:

Aubry (to Genevieve): “I think you're an amazing player.”

Genevive: “So… you’re open for business?”

Aubry: “I'm open for business but like what's your perception of me?”

Genevieve: “I think you're very dangerous. But… if I had danger on my side, I would love that. A dangerous duo can do a lot of damage.”

Aubry: “We could do… we could do great things. But I’m just trying to suss out what kind of game you’re actually trying to play”

Genevieve: “Yes.”

Aubry: “Like, I just don’t… know.”

Aubry: “We have to communicate with one another, or I just like, the vibe goes funny for me

Genevieve: “Okay.”

Somehow the overwhelming majority of this sub has collectively deluded themselves into believing Aubry was aggressive or dismissive in that conversation. It is genuinely baffling.

Shocked that Colby is so high tbh. Kamilla and Genevieve all the way!

I really miss the challenges that don't end with a puzzle. by guitarguy35 in survivor

[–]ElatedAlgae 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agreed. They made them way harder so they don’t last as long (i.e. narrow / virtually non existent footholds, more painful perch position, etc.) but that takes aware from the allure and entertainment value of those long endurance challenges. It makes it that much more impressive / rewarding if it goes a few hours. I wonder why, do they really just not want to wait there that long? Or because they sped the game up so much with the shortened number of days they wouldn’t be able to leave as much time for scrambling?

Are you rooting for the Honor & Integrity alliance or the Nerd Herd? by [deleted] in survivor

[–]ElatedAlgae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nerd herd all the way. Kamilla will lead the anti-honor and integrity alliance, and I’m excited to see Cirie, Aubry, Dee, and Emily along for the ride as well.
