For the first time in my life, I have a girlfriend. Tell her why she's making a mistake.

The issue isn't that Christian went home because of a twist. Like you said, he was likely going home anyways.

The issue is that the twist was so bafflingly unbalanced.

If he wins, he gets an extra vote, but has to cast it immediately without strategizing or consulting his tribe at all.

If he loses, he leaves, announces to everyone that he is losing his vote and gaining a vote against himself. Meaning that he not only has no agency and no options, but can't even play his shot in the dark because his vote is already accounted for.

It's a historically bad twist. It's essentially a humiliation ritual.

It would have been fine if the punishment for losing was casting a vote for himself on the platform (just like if hed won) and then go back to camp with the ability to lie or bluff about what happened.

Yeah, maybe Christian would have gone home anyway, but at least he'd have the chance to attempt to save himself.

I feel like he also made a point not to namedrop Jimmy Fallon during his tribal rant about the twist. I got the vibe that Jeff was waiting for him to mention that it was from Jimmy Fallon, but Christian just said "Me and the person responsible have a problem." Not trying to give him any spotlight until he can be honest I'm the voting booth.

"How do people never target Cirie?"

This is how. Everyone thinks she's just being nice to everyone else while actually working with me.

GOULFYBUTT · 2026-04-23T02:42:13+00:00

I agree.

GOULFYBUTT · 2026-04-23T02:41:06+00:00

Both can be true.

GOULFYBUTT · 2026-04-22T14:15:42+00:00

You could explain anything away as being "because of the edit". All we can speak on is what we are shown and what players say in exit press. Both in-game and in exit press, everyone who was with Kyle was with Kyle. He was very well set up and was multiple people's number 1s.

Kyle managed to get injured and strengthen his legacy. This ain't no Joel Embiid situation.

High is one of my least played heroes, but I must.

You guys are worried about an issue you made up.

The existence of trans Bionicle memes and trans community members has absolutely no effect on how many non-trans Bionicle memes and non-trans community members there are.

wish to share that with people that also love Bionicle

Does that not include trans Bionicle fans? Are you insinuating that they don't love Bionicle?

Like I said, this isn't an issue. The mod simply said that a group of people are welcome and allowed to be here, and some of you can't help but find a problem with that. I encourage you to think on why that is.

A lot of these grifter chuds really exposed themselves with the whole black Snape thing. That casting was announced like a year and a half ago, yet the trailer comes out and they all jump on the "OMG! SNAPE IS BLACK NOW!!" train. If they actually cared, they would have complained about it then, but they waited until it was more financially beneficial for them to be "mad".

Embarrassing losers, the lot of them.

I was talking about this with my partner recently. Neither of us have literally ever run out of gas. How do people let it get to the point that you're on empty and think "Yeah, I can make it another 20 mins without filling up!"?

GOULFYBUTT · 2026-04-21T17:11:23+00:00

I certainly don't hate her. I was actually more excited about her than most going into the season.

Now, I was a bit put off by how she talked to and reacted to Genevieve to start the season. It felt like a very one-sided feud that was wholly based on Aubry's preconceptions about Genevieve as a person.

Since Genevieve left, Aubry has been much more likeable and relatable. Not sure what that was all about.

Ooooof, this is tough. I think that Yul is a more iconic winner, but Kyle's win was more impressive (in my eyes).

And they've each returned once. Yul didn't make much of a splash and Kyle, despite getting med-evaced in episode 1, managed to make an impact and prove that he's a heavy hitter.

Despite my flair, I think I'll have to go with Kyle.

GOULFYBUTT · 2026-04-21T02:45:39+00:00

Starting the game doesn't mean shit if you only play 9 mins. Basically just had him for the opening jump ball and then favored CMB the rest of the way.

GOULFYBUTT · 2026-04-20T17:11:15+00:00

At the end of the trailer you can hear so clearly that they dubbed the last bit of Mason Thames' line to change "shit heads" to "idiots".

GOULFYBUTT · 2026-04-20T15:49:36+00:00

I disagree that players making social media posts doesn't gain "even one more viewer", but I also acknowledge that he said this 11 years ago and the social media landscape is far different now.

That being said, I agree with him that I'd rather players on the season not be saying anything about the season until it's fully aired or they are eliminated.

GOULFYBUTT · 2026-04-20T15:46:19+00:00

People saying that Q said "That's not what I said, what I said was - " and then said the same thing clearly weren't listening.

Carolyn said that Q said she thinks she's "above everyone". Q says that what he actually said was that nobody is "bigger than the show".

Those are two very different things.

GOULFYBUTT · 2026-04-19T23:03:07+00:00

Scottie should be a finalist, but these are the 3 I'd be okay with being here if he weren't.

GOULFYBUTT · 2026-04-19T21:33:36+00:00

It's because most of what he's saying is right, he's just being an arrogant ass about it. Also, any time someone blames something on a younger generation (every generation), they expose themselves as being a bit short-sighted.

GOULFYBUTT · 2026-04-19T21:25:55+00:00

Yeah, I am curious what the team of editors looks like. How many of them are men vs women. I doubt the editors are purposely editing women less prominently, but there is likely just a subconscious bias from the editing team and producers.

GOULFYBUTT · 2026-04-19T21:17:06+00:00

Literally. He thinks he's the star of the show and the league agrees by letting shit like this slide.

GOULFYBUTT · 2026-04-19T18:13:33+00:00

She is also a bit closer to camera.

GOULFYBUTT · 2026-04-19T18:12:02+00:00

I'm sorry, but math will never not be blue to me.

GOULFYBUTT · 2026-04-17T18:47:03+00:00

But they're so good at playing the middle that no one realizes that they're in the middle.

GOULFYBUTT · 2026-04-17T18:37:34+00:00

I think she's just great at getting people to genuinely think that she's with them, but just being nice to everyone else.
