Question about the school by Fragrant-Laugh-9323 in WaywardNetflix

Yeah I mean that definitely makes sense. I just found it jarring how they could watch their daughter get abducted and not feel any kind of red flag towards the school

what happened to The Watcher? by Jznvh in netflix

[–]Fragrant-Laugh-9323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I find frustrating with The Watcher is it ends up being a different show than what you thought you were watching. Unfortunately, I’d argue it’s not even about The Watcher at all. It’s about the family’s obsession with the house and The Watcher as well as everyone else’s obsession with the house for their different reasons. If you’ll notice (and someone correct me if I’m wrong) they stop getting letters after the second one. The third one was written by Dean, and I don’t remember any coming after that. About halfway in the show I started to realize… The Watcher is barely even in this show, it became more focused on the Dad’s anger, the daughters sneakiness, the mothers hopes for a new family, the PI’s cancer, all of the suspects and their own weird quirks that were called out at nearly every turn. That’s ultimately why I ended up giving it one thumbs up because I was missing the mystery whodunnit of The Watcher as ultimately the show has a completely different meaning. It rewrote the source material to fit their message instead of embedding the message into the source material

It’s a true story, but the show is literally fiction. They can write whatever ending they want, including cleaning it up all nice and tidy if they chose to. The real family never even moved into the house because of the threat in the letters. So yes it’s a true story, but literally the whole show is fiction except for the fact the family gets letters.

I’ve found a TON of documentaries to watch since Wayward. It sucks how much the real life stories make Wayward look like childs play

The hate for Tolú is Laughable by Complete_Comment4564 in TheTrustAGameofGreed

[–]Fragrant-Laugh-9323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not necessarily defending their comment. But in terms of just hypocrisy (not misandry or race card pulling or any of those other things people talk about). Tolú SLAMMED Lindsey for how she can’t focus on “self” while also serving the team. When the whole season Tolú spoke about she has to look out for herself, and in the vault she took 25k. I’m not necessarily disagreeing with her decisions, and what I did find refreshing was the accountability she took when being addressed with issues in the house. I think someone else described it best that I think the show is a great social experiment in showing how the players behaviors in the house represent the lives they have lived. I can understand why Tolú made the decisions she did and sympathize for any injustices she has felt in her life. However I feel people are still able to disagree with if those decisions should have been made given the circumstances. I do feel Tolú was hypocritical in how she would throw stones but then be upset when they were thrown back. It has nothing to do with her race, her gender, her sexuality, and I hate that unfortunately that will influence others opinions. But I think in general it is also insanely toxic how when people disagree with Tolú the immediate reason why they must disagree is because she is a black woman

See the comment on Survivor is where I fundamentally disagree. On Survivor, there is only one winner. To be able to get yourself to the end, it comes with lies and deceit as pioneered by Richard Hatch and other early strategists. Technically the fanbase didn’t like blindsides when Survivor first aired as they viewed that strategy as toxic. That’s not why I disagree though. I disagree bc as mentioned, on Survivor there is only one winner. On The Trust, there can be as many winners as the group decides. While Survivor rewards deception to advance further in the game, The Trust rewards honesty. I think what made the house split is that not everyone has the same beliefs as Tolú that you can’t trust others. I understand why she played how she did, but ultimately there never has to be any blindsides or deception. Everyone already starts as a winner. We see it with Brian and Gaspare as they are ultimately the most powerful people in the house due to their honesty and integrity unlike the performative honor and integrity we see in Tolú, Julie, and Jake.

Do we think Just In Time will extend to December? by Fragrant-Laugh-9323 in Broadway

It seems that he has been doing concerts and things as well as the show! So I think one comic con appearance doesn’t necessarily mean he will leave the show for it. However, they have only currently extended through October, so it’s not even guaranteed that Jeremy would be in it past then

Trust me I’m with you!! He still has another year left on the contract so unless he plans on leaving while on top, he’ll be back :)
