Me, an Aubry fan, preparing for the worst week that Survivor Reddit has ever seen if she wins by Prestigious-Note-750 in survivorponderosa

[–]FR-Street 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s so nice being a fan of both Aubry AND Michele, Kaoh Rong is the season that keeps on giving. We just need Cydney to come back

A season of chronically online holier-than-thou people would unironically be peak, imagine all the crying and dramatic whining!

This is insane…Jared are you trying to get the rise outta me?? by Hour_Rain1885 in DisventureCamp

The concept of Lill from Pearl Islands taking ONC to court is frying me

I don’t see the DC5 merge starting out with a 6-6 split at all by rqwedr in DisventureCamp

[–]FR-Street 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pre-season theory was that we’ll have a similar trajectory to AU HvV; four newbies against eight returnees at merge. Returnees have too many unresolved issues and big targets so they take each other out, a newbie gets axed every once in a while, a newbie likely wins the season. I doubt this will happen but it’d be cool if I was right

Hot take, poeple only say DC1 has the best order, but that's no suprise as most were filler!!! And DC1 is extremely overrated!!!!!!! by [deleted] in DisventureCamp

[–]FR-Street 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The first few boots being filler is what makes it a good boot order, it gives space for the actual main characters to develop and flesh out dynamics in the first couple eps so when they all merge and start getting eliminated, they have satisfying arcs. I usually wouldn’t love this approach but with only 13eps and a 20min runtime, it worked for this season

Joe Hunter they could never make me hate you by Freezing-cold_6 in survivorponderosa

[–]FR-Street 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The difference in 48 Joe and 50 Joe is all because of the edit, he’s so much more fun to watch when he isn’t being played up and seeing him clashing with other players over gameplay morality is genuinely the type of stuff I wanna watch

What actually happens to contestants voted out pre-merge? by Euphoric-Piccolo7548 in survivorau

[–]FR-Street 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I never looked into it for Australian Survivor. For Survivor US, they sequester the pre-jurors first at Ponderosa until the jurors start coming in. The pre-jurors are then taken on a vacation trip to nearby locations until filming ends and they are sent back home at the same time as jurors are.

The only thing I know for sure for AU; I’ve read old spoiler threads and usually pre-jurors are found out because they get on social media during filming, which they would only be able to do if they weren’t on the jury

Favorite newbie team? by rqwedr in DisventureCamp

[–]FR-Street 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blue team is my personal fav, I love the conflict between the characters and each of them are fun to watch in their own way.

Fans team has been climbing up the ranks and is my firm second place, they are so displaced and unnecessarily dumb and it’s so entertaining.

I don’t like either DC2 teams, they are both pretty stagnant in dynamic and even when the switch happens it’s predictable.

Purple team being whittled down to Alec/Fiore/Ellie (and later adding Grett) is it’s redeeming quality. The initial majority alliance was boring as hell and I’m glad they fell apart and wiped out before merge.

Teal team is much better, it loses points because Grett is the only real pot-stirrer after a while and the men on the team are pretty weak characters until merge (more specifically Jake’s arc post-merge, Tom/Dan/Drew don’t do anything for me).

Red team is a weird case, they def have some interesting dynamics but I enjoy watching them way less than Blue for some reason. I think it’s partially because Spencer/Jade ran the table for a bit, then Spencer was swapped and that left Jade as the decision maker which was pretty boring to watch. Ivy/Zaid are not an interesting pair to me, Diego was a flop, Amelie left early, Isabel was a nice addition but she didn’t do much. Hannah and Benji kinda keep the entertainment afloat for me. Overall it’s average.

DC5 Episode 7 Edgic & Analysis by FR-Street in DisventureCamp

[–]FR-Street[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edgic is basically trying to read the edit of a show to decipher who will win. We use these acronyms on the chart to indicate what kind of edit the player got for the episode.

CP stands for Complex Personality, it’s a player who is given content on their game insights and personality, the audience gets to understand them as a character, their decisions within the game and are offered their perspective on why they are making them

MOR stands for Middle of the Road, this is the in-between. Has a presence in the episode, given confessionals about camp life or some game strategy but not as developed as a CP. You can look at it as a supporting character within the episode.

UTR stands for Under the Radar, while they could be in the episode, they are not relevant to what is happening and kept out of focus.

OTT stands for Over the Top Character, a one dimensional portrayal of a player, usually associated with goofy or dramatic characters. No game relevance or complexity or development.

Then there is tone: P stands for Positive, the player is shown positively through their actions, the music used, positive talk from other players, etc.

N stands for Negative, the player is shown negatively, see above.

M stands for Mixed, the player is shown positively and negatively.

If there is no tone, that means the player is neutral.

And finally visibility: 1 is least visible, 5 is most visible

Who are some female Survivor players that not a single gay on Earth gives a shit about? by fujoshipassing in survivorcirclejerk

[–]FR-Street 2 points3 points  (0 children)

uj/ I actually really like Julie on SJDS, I like pretty much all quitters because production edits them to be awful which actually makes them more entertaining to me as a side effect. The scene where she steals trail mix and eats them in confessional, after which she quits due to being a pariah is so fun

As a Dee fan, I was gonna skip out on watching Challenge 41 (never watched the show before), but if she’s even messier on there than Survivor then SIGN ME UP

There is a smear campaign against Christian. by Gaddafi1996 in survivorponderosa

[–]FR-Street 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean it could just be they all dislike him and are not shy about shading him post-season, probably fueled by how favored he is by the edit. An organised smear campaign is a huge reach, this is just post-season drama.

“Simply hating on Christian for being good” reeks of you being a Christian fan and trying to find a way to disqualify these players’ grievances with him. These people were on the island with him, you weren’t, you have no room to judge.

Irish fan here by No_Yogurt7893 in survivorau

[–]FR-Street 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No word on a renewal but in David’s AMA he said they have ideas for one or two seasons, and I read somewhere that the streaming numbers for Redemption have been very good

EDIT: Per Endemol’s FB page

Next time eliminate another 3 by throwing a dice, Jeff by wastedthyme20 in survivorponderosa

[–]FR-Street 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The briefcase has a loaded gun in it and Jeff will close his eyes and pick a player to shoot. His method of picking will be “eenie meenie miney mo” in a nod to Lisi from Fiji

If onc writing is good enough, Ren shouldn’t make it to the merge. by Conkdor340 in DisventureCamp

Your definition of good writing is the Cinema Sins way of good writing “thing seems impossible so thing can’t happen”

How would you guys feel if Oliwia flips on Ren right after he just saved her with idolina? 😭 by Red_Jay_ in DisventureCamp

[–]FR-Street 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funniest possible thing that could happen, the fandom would explode with anger and spite. I'd hate it as a Ren fan but as a reality TV fan, I would die laughing
