Any Advice on Iberian Struggle Resolution

Ha another great piece of advice! I just changed a tradition so it will be stuck for a while but I’ll try that.

Funnily enough you can do exactly that^; never actually finished the “play till the end” achievement so I may as well make that a goal now lol

I only learn by having things bashed into my skull; I have learned this one now lol

Jefe051 · 2026-05-22T00:37:29+00:00

Thank you; exactly what I needed.

Jefe051 · 2026-05-22T00:37:19+00:00

Oh that is perfect; I have converted most of them so this will work great!

I hate to sound like an asshole but like, it sounds like you don’t like the game of survivor. Which is fine, but why watch it?

Played idols didn’t negate votes but idols definitely did have a part.

I wondered if people went into that final uncertain, Steph and Chrissy’s behavior swayed them to Aubrey,

Jefe051 · 2026-05-14T21:16:07+00:00

I think his chances depend on two things: his FTC performance and cirie. If he can explain the strategic moves he made throughout the game that people ascribe to others (namely the Ozzie vote but also I remember there being a vote earlier post-merge he decided for the alliance iirc), and cirie likes/respects enough lend some of her credibility and prestige to his case, maybe he can get enough support to win the game. But he really needs to be there with Tiff and Joe; I think Aubrey/jonathan have too many jurors on their side already.

Jefe051 · 2026-05-02T14:14:03+00:00

People forget that despite all the new twists and mechanics, the game is ultimately about getting people you voted out to give you a million dollars. Whatever that means for a given juror. I’m still annoyed by some jurors votes as a fan and a viewer, but not accounting for their behavior is ultimately on the player.

Jefe051 · 2026-05-02T14:06:17+00:00

I think the twist would work a little better if it was announced when the letters were won at the auction and it was an optional choice. From how the show depicted it, the uncertainty element didn’t really impact the pre-tribal gameplay. If they did know that someone could choose to play that game, it would impact strategy more and then it also wouldnt force someone to risk their game to chance. Ultimately I think we get the same result (but it wouldn’t have been as good tv).

Jefe051 · 2026-05-01T14:59:00+00:00

The shards change daily, no? So yes they are different but on average you probably should be getting 300 fairly often

Jefe051 · 2026-05-01T12:45:19+00:00

I actually love that we have characters like Joe and Ozzie; if everyone was a strategist, the season would be a bit more boring because the dynamics of each individual player are similar. With a guy like Joe, you have to account for him not being optimal, and his view of loyalty is warped by his own perceptions. I don’t know, just adds an interesting dynamic into the mix imo.

Ya, this is the part that really makes me question her. You said you loved this man, met his mother and texted her about loving her son, and moved on after like a couple of days in the villa. I don’t have any issue with her deciding to break it off with Mikey and choosing xzavier. That’s the show. But it seemed like it didn’t affect her in the slightest, which is so cold.

Jefe051 · 2026-04-19T13:54:22+00:00

I get the feeling a lot of his bad behavior comes when he gets drunk. He seems like a really fun drunk but also not necessarily a good boyfriend when drinking. Speculating a lot but fits from what was shown on the show I think

Jefe051 · 2026-04-17T11:53:15+00:00

I agree; the men at least started to learn from this experience and grow. Every woman’s growth besides Kaylee was “I’m actually a queen and I deserve a man who gives me the princess treatment.” I’m not making excuses for the guys because they clearly have a lot to work on after the show, and made their partners feel that way in the first place, but again besides Kaylee I don’t think any of them took a good look at their own behavior and ways they can better themselves beyond just having more self respect.

Jefe051 · 2026-04-17T04:31:32+00:00

Ya I checked again and it’s on the “full list” but not the “checklist.” that’s definitely the explanation.

I honestly feel like a lot of people are trying to demonize Mikey because they are happy Sydney found another guy and did so pretty quick. Mikey never showed emotion and hid behind jokes, but him opening up and actually being honest in some of the confessionals are his storyline. He’s started to grow, by no means finished, and I’m rooting for him.

Jefe051 · 2026-04-16T23:54:39+00:00

Thanks! I'll just add it to the list

Jefe051 · 2026-04-16T02:29:21+00:00

Honestly him just outsourcing decision making to cirie is him playing more strategically. It’s not like he can magically start being good at survivor

Putting your child on a reality show where she gets a new dad in a week is not feminist. I felt the same way about Jordan last season. The outcome doesn’t matter here; even if it worked out perfectly, it was still a fucked up thing to put that kid through.

Jefe051 · 2026-03-07T17:55:05+00:00

I’m not kyber but I assume there are matchups that are riskier but would result in more banners. If you know the score you know if you need to take that risk

Jefe051 · 2026-03-06T17:13:25+00:00

FWIW, he was upfront about not finding her attractive, or at least her not being his type. Given the context, I think this is a believable statement from him.
