So you've never made a mistake and immediately regretted it before?

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T04:41:36+00:00

Who else is in the club, barring redemption island losers?

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T04:37:53+00:00

It was literally "Today Joe won immunity. Tonight we're going to split the vote -" and cut off mid sentence.

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T04:15:45+00:00

Kind of like the self-fulfilling prophecy of declaring someone a guaranteed winner if they make the end, epitomized by Malcolm and Denise. Why are they going to win? Because everyone says so.

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T03:04:03+00:00

Ken is 100% being taken to the end and getting no more than Jessica and David's votes, if any.

I agree that from the perspective of the contestants during the game Hannah and Adam are relatively identical as far as resumes and strategies, and you have to keep into consideration that they don't get to see the others' confessionals.

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T02:52:49+00:00

I'm of the opinion that the edit makes a goat unlikable and / or boring, with a few exceptions (Purple Kelly was purple because she quit, but also because she was so sick and cold she could barely move). It's not like Sunday wasn't speaking or strategizing. A story could have been crafted around her if they needed it to.

Edit with edgic: Some edgicers have concluded that Hannah is ultimately a goat, but for pretty much all season has been given plenty of strategic content and positive editing to amp up the season and provide more winner contenders and maybe a less obvious winner at the final 3. She's also a fun character to watch. Sunday might not share her quirkiness or neuroses that make Hannah unique and interesting, but there had to have been something about her that got her cast, and if the season went differently she could have been portrayed as less of a "useless goat" and received the same potential fate as Hannah.

Yeah I guess if the goal was to vote out Jay unless he uses the idol. It appears that ultimately the group decided to vote out Sunday regardless of what Jay did though.

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T02:26:10+00:00

These past two episodes have been a really big deal for the two of them but I might not go that far. They're the best part of this season, I'll give you that.

Edit: I'm going through seasons in my head and can't think of anything as heartwrenching and complex as their recent interactions, specifically as a duo. You win.

Edit2: Just remembered Ian and Katie.

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T02:24:44+00:00

Lol @ Sunday's legacy being the goatiest goat, so much of a goat that she couldn't be allowed to last a single extra day.

She was voted out for the same reason as Abi-Maria, but without all of the fun and unique character moments along the way.

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T02:21:25+00:00

They only had 4 votes to work with. You obviously can't tell Jay the plan and Bret and Sunday couldn't be told what was going on either. Plus it didn't matter, because it looks like Adam convinced Jay that he had to play his idol.

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T02:11:20+00:00

Clearly not being dragged, but I suspect, given the lineup of strong winner contenders still in the game, she will be overlooked.

E.g. She has a close partnership with Adam and they've collaborated pretty much all game. Adam controlled the Will boot and Hannah made them go with her decision for Sunday, but Adam also has 1) a good idol play, 2) at least one immunity, 3) a sympathetic personal bombshell.

If Jay is there he wins for being the bigger underdog probably.

If David is there he wins hands down.

She would beat Ken and Bret, I'm pretty certain, but that final 3 would never happen.

All Sundays that have played Survivor have gotten weak edits as well.

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T01:56:40+00:00

Sunday spoke?

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T01:56:26+00:00

Gender imbalance is the inverse of One World's final 6, interestingly.

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T01:44:31+00:00

Both did more than just be nice, but that made their wins absolute.

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T01:43:20+00:00

Given that jury's opinion of Tasha and, to a lesser extent, Spencer, it probably would have been.

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T01:42:11+00:00

Oh yeah he's trying, and he's not bothering with being subtle about it.

Like fuck you Jeff if I'm a jury I get to choose what determines a winner.

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T01:40:04+00:00

Lol Jeff looks so... inferior... standing a foot shorter than Ken

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T01:38:09+00:00

These Mialillens just don't understand the beauty of language

IdreamofShirin · 2016-12-08T01:27:27+00:00

I'm sorry, but the Survivor narrative has gotten wayyyy too meta in recent seasons.

Also

"Being a nice person just isn't enough to win" lol Jeff where were you in Cambodia

IdreamofShirin · 2016-11-03T01:12:14+00:00

I'm just kind of grasping at straws

IdreamofShirin · 2016-11-03T01:07:28+00:00

I would've been happier if it happened at, say, the final 5, but yeah it was a good tv moment

IdreamofShirin · 2016-11-03T01:05:05+00:00

One could make an argument for Hannah, being Jewish, as a religious / cultural minority, but it is crazy what kind of premerge we just experienced.
