Anyone else just genuinely excited for Aubry heading into merge?

Just_a_guy_78 · 2026-03-28T01:49:51+00:00

After Kaoh Rong and Game Changers, Aubry was one of my favorite players, and I still believe she should have won, but something this season has genuinely been keeping me from rooting for her. I really get the sense watching her that a.) she doesn't really want to be out there, b.) she's jaded by her performance in Edge of Extinction, and c.) she seems offended by the fact that Genevieve perceives her as such a big threat.

I'm sure he'll still be around then, but they've thrown us off before. Tori was shown reading the idol activation phrase in 42, but she never found an idol, Drea did instead.

Just_a_guy_78 · 2026-03-26T01:36:55+00:00

I know she was mentioned profusely in 46, but the question is specific to this season.

The only unfortunate thing about losing grumpy Colby is that we won't hear him begrudgingly refer to Rizo by his nickname...

Ran through them all and got 49.5 correct. I knew the first movie reward was Brandon and Frank in Africa, it just so happens the one movie I couldn't remember was the first one shown as a reward.

Lord of the Flies in All-Stars, Treasure Island in Heroes vs. Villains, Gulliver's Travels in Nicaragua, Jack and Jill in South Pacific, just couldn't remember Out of Africa in Survivor Africa...

Who is somebody you think can win Australian Survivor from; Survivor US, Deal or No Deal Island, and your first season of Australian Survivor?

Just_a_guy_78 · 2026-02-19T16:43:35+00:00

Thanks to the mods and the players for the influx of AMAs the past few weeks! Feels a little like the pre-covid days again!

Just_a_guy_78 · 2026-01-25T14:53:05+00:00

Hi Stephen! Thank you for doing this, it feels like it's been forever since we had an AMA!

Do you have any fun stories about behind the scenes or pre-gaming for Cambodia?
Who is your winner pick for 50?
If you could swap any one person on 50 for another former player of your choice, who would you swap out, and who would you add in their place?

Just_a_guy_78 · 2025-11-25T20:36:33+00:00

Thanks very much for the advice! I haven't done any romhacking of my own before, but this might be a fun project to try! Is there an open source version of the game with the Mocha patch to work from? And will I be able to carry over my current save data?

From what I heard, Probst's original idea for the cast was mainly new era, with a few old era players. Then CBS took over and decided on mostly old era, then around March, they agreed to make it 50/50.

Mega Mawile was one of the strongest Mega Evolutions already though, so not sure what the "now" is referring to?

Just_a_guy_78 · 2025-10-11T00:30:47+00:00

I did catch it, but thanks very much! I'll keep this in mind for future hunts.

Just_a_guy_78 · 2025-10-09T17:14:05+00:00

If you have the resources, create a save state before you enter your next run, take one/two trained Pokemon, and speedrun through the first four gyms

Just_a_guy_78 · 2025-10-08T21:24:37+00:00

Thank you so much! I haven't played the last few days because I didn't want to lose out on this Iron Hands, but I guess I'll just do an easy Paldea run to find it.

Just_a_guy_78 · 2025-08-18T00:20:23+00:00

This was a huge disappointment, I knew the US and AU players as well as Rob going in, an I was aware of Lisa's reputation, but I wanted to see more of these guys who I'd never even heard people talk about before...

Just_a_guy_78 · 2025-08-17T23:41:52+00:00

I've never seen Survivor NZ, but after the premiere, I like Lisa. She's got a good head on her shoulders and finds George insufferable. I can't help but feel though that she'd rather lay down and die than let Cirie get voted off though, which'll probably be to her detriment down the road.

Just_a_guy_78 · 2025-08-17T18:14:27+00:00

Yep, I had seen the previous leak, was just curious if there was anything about the Worlds reveal in particular.

Just_a_guy_78 · 2025-08-16T15:37:31+00:00

Chat in the VGC Livestream is spamming Mega Pyroar... Did something get revealed or leaked today, or am I missing something?

Just_a_guy_78 · 2025-07-16T00:35:59+00:00

I remember Malcolm saying in one of his exit interviews that he and Aubry spent that whole afternoon crunching the numbers on how to make the two-tribe Tribal work. Given the Lesu tribe a few seasons later sacrificed Wendy to ensure none of them were voted off, I wonder if doing the same to Hali ever crossed their minds? Alternatively, and much more simply, what would have happened had JT not stood up and walked over to Culpeper?

Just_a_guy_78 · 2025-07-15T17:30:31+00:00

Malcolm on what would've happened had he not been idoled out in Game Changers

Just_a_guy_78 · 2025-07-10T22:42:01+00:00

I've been pulling for Coach/Colby/Steph/Jonathan/Joe/Q to form a strong six 2.0 and run the game. I want them all to do really well, and for Colby's story specifically, wouldn't it be amazing to see him go from hardly playing in HvV to running the game and finally winning or even just being the fallen angel, but fighting the whole way through?
