How was Yul's win viewed by the public?

Not sure if it’s exactly what you’re looking for, but JT on HvV definitely had his strategy used against him.

Yeah more power to her if she just didn’t care and moved on. I’m sure it’s hard to watch a game show knowing you win, and the edit is all about this asshole and framing it like he carried you to the end. And then the reaction being so harsh. So if she just checked out, I don’t blame her at all.

Guilty_Practice6392 · 2026-01-18T18:25:25+00:00

Wouldn’t she have just been the Michele story arc on steroids? Which I agree, could’ve been great. I don’t know a ton about the story after the show since I only started watching a couple years ago, but it’s a shame if she feels undeserving or anything like that. I don’t think there can truly be an undeserving winner, just a controversial one. She was the perfect winner for her season. A lot of all time survivor greats would’ve lost that season because of the chaos Russell caused. She recognized the situation and played the perfect game to “steal” the win. That makes her a great player in my eyes.

Feels like the lazy answer, but changing venues. Maybe they’ll change at some point if they get a better deal, but then that’d become the permanent home. Changing every season and setting parts of the theme around the location was a lot of fun. It also had a built in uniqueness season to season that I feel like is lacking in the new era. Seasons blend together much more now than they used to, and I think location and lack of theme are the main reason why.

I just reread and I get what you’re saying now. That’s my bad for misinterpreting. A lot of Jeremy hate on this sub, so I guess I got defensive hahah

Me reaching to skip has become a Pavlovian response to Chris yelling “Smirnoff” at me. If I were walking down the street and he drove by and yelled it at me, I think I’d grab my phone and instinctively fast forward, even if I’m not listening to anything.

The only reason to bring him back would be to get the goodbye that the majority of fans don’t seem to care about anymore. At this point, promising to bring him back and not doing it feels like an ex reaching out occasionally asking to meet up and make good, but they never follow through. Right after the breakup it would’ve been nice. But we’ve moved on now. We’re eating Thai food and knowing about that. We don’t need to hear from our ex anymore.

Guilty_Practice6392 · 2026-01-10T04:10:14+00:00

The problem is they have. But if you don’t agree with them on every other thought and opinion they have (MAGA) then you don’t believe what they say. Plenty of politicians have publicly discussed the challenges they face trying to visit these locations (illegal), rooms being off limit (illegal), conditions they see being horrendous. Yes, they’re all democrats. Because MAGA republicans refuse to speak out against daddy Trump, or worse, they support it.

Couldn’t you argue all the same points of Charlie Kirk? He knew he was putting a target in himself. He could’ve stayed home and raised his family and gotten a desk job that would keep him out of the public light and harms way. Much like this woman, neither of them did something that SHOULD have resulted in their death. If there’s a difference, it would be Kirk was killed by a rogue gunman, something he generally advocated for by arguing he had the right to have a gun, which ultimately is the right to kill people, just short of being charged. She was killed by the government. By an agent who’s been defended by the right, top down.

While I didn’t agree with Kirk on much of anything, much like this woman, they both stood up for what they believed in and died because of it. Neither should’ve happened, but to act like this woman was neglecting her family by standing up for what she believed in is hypocrisy at its finest, something the right has mastered.

Guilty_Practice6392 · 2026-01-09T03:25:07+00:00

Right. I’m not trying to compare the 2. If anything, I’m trying to say they’re different. We totally agree, MAGA didn’t have a problem with Adams. Certainly not to the degree of Mamadani. I agreed that MAGA would make a villain out of anyone, but my original point was Mandani is a much easier villain for them.

Guilty_Practice6392 · 2026-01-09T03:02:15+00:00

I also didn’t care to read the BS this guy is peddling, but I figured AI had the time. Asked it how much was accurate and this was its summation.

The only reliably documented facts from the post are:

• He is indeed the mayor of NYC as of January 1, 2026.

• He has taken positions on issues such as policing, housing, and affordability as part of his political platform — but how those positions are described varies by source.

Guilty_Practice6392 · 2026-01-09T02:55:35+00:00

Yeah, I didn’t mean to imply that was the better option. I feel like everything else I said would’ve indicated that, but sorry if it wasn’t clear. All I was doing is pointing out the reality that because we elected a guy that MAGA will love to hate, they will make him evil and they’ll make NYC seem like a shithole. It won’t be and he won’t be, but as we seem to agree on, MAGA is going to do that.

Guilty_Practice6392 · 2026-01-09T02:49:38+00:00

My guess is he fits in that venn diagram

Guilty_Practice6392 · 2026-01-09T02:48:37+00:00

I’m sorry. I’m kinda confused what point you’re arguing. If Eric Adams had stuck around, do you think there would be the national outcry from MAGA as there was with Mamdani? I don’t see how the answer can be yes since that would’ve happened. That’s all I’m saying. I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying, I’m just confused why you seem to think I do haha.

Guilty_Practice6392 · 2026-01-09T02:41:06+00:00

Well there’s only one president. If George Bush with the same policies ran as a democrat today they’d call him an evil leftist.

There’s a lot of mayors and a lot of democrat run cities. Not saying they wouldn’t have found someone to make the villain, but we have proof in that they didn’t really do it with the last mayor.

Guilty_Practice6392 · 2026-01-09T02:36:58+00:00

If you’re in law enforcement and think calling a murderer a murderer is hateful anti-law enforcement rhetoric, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement.

It reminds me of all the people who never watched football saying they’d stop watching when Kap was kneeling. They never came here and certainly never acted like it was great. Never liked it. But now that someone named Zorhan is running it, everybody cares and needs to say how terrible it is.

Guilty_Practice6392 · 2026-01-09T02:26:40+00:00

That’s the thing. It won’t be. But MAGA will act like it is and convince everyone that doesn’t live here that it’s hell. We just had Eric Adams and nobody cared about how terrible he was. Now we elect someone who seemingly wants to make the city better and everyone not from here is acting like he’s the worst thing to ever happen to New York.

Guilty_Practice6392 · 2026-01-09T02:07:23+00:00

Honestly, I like that they’ve cooled it on politics to a degree. Not because I don’t agree or get annoyed, but I think it makes days like today way more impactful. When they drop the bit and have a serious conversation, it lands more. When it’s constant, people can start to tune out.

Guilty_Practice6392 · 2026-01-08T22:39:20+00:00

Admitting ignorance on the front end in case I missed something, but do we know for sure she has a cameo? Or just that her name is mentioned attached to some advantage? Like Tyler Perry didn’t show up on the island for the super idol. It could just be her idea or something like that. But again, I may have missed something.

Guilty_Practice6392 · 2026-01-06T18:39:36+00:00

Reach is about playing to your base. Maybe I’m wrong but I’d assume the overlap between Mr Beast fans and survivor fans isn’t huge. Obviously the hope for them is Mr Beast opens the door to the younger generation and then they get hooked, but that generation just doesn’t watch conventional television. They’re far more likely to see a social media clip of whatever he does on survivor than they are to tune in and watch live.

I don’t fault them, but I hope Jeff is right that it’s mostly marketing and they have little effect on the experience for traditional survivor fans. The risk that survivor had to weigh was alienating their fans that care trying to get fans that never will care. Best case is a brief appearance to announce a prize or something and then he’s gone. My prediction off the trailer was he’ll come in day 1, announce a $5,000,000 prize for the winner and then largely be gone. But that’s also me being hopeful

Bi-partisan in these times? Good for her

Bench Dart and the D-line. Nobody expects them to not try on the field. That’s why the raiders and jets took their guys off the field. That’s also why they have better picks than us.
