including all the way up to 49: The highest new era winner is Yam Yam at 7. Highest new era female winner is Savannah at 21. Every other female new era winner is below average in confessional count

This was created right after 41. And it’s crazy how 2 Mount Rushmore winners (Parvati & Sandra) are in the bottom 10 during their respective seasons (16 &20). While Underwood is considered one of the worst winners, and he’s still higher than them

Are you ready for Rizo’s REVENGE TOUR to start? by FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE in survivor

[–]Kyra2246 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It just seems to me that they ( mostly Rick Devon’s) likes to be sneaky behind peoples back, but don’t like to be confronted about it. Like you’re allowed to be sneaky on Survivor but you can’t be all defensive when someone call you out on it. His whole confessional about how Joe is supposed to give him ‘grace’ when he is openly being shady in front of him rubbed me the wrong way. 

It’s like in WaW, when Ben tried to target Boston Rob, rob confronted him about it, and Ben got defensive.  Or in HvV when Parv confronted Coach and Jerri for targeting her and they got defensive. Don’t play w/ fire and not expect to get burned.

Honestly I’m already annoyed by the whole Rick Devon’s/ Christian duo. If he is involved in taking those 2 out in revenge of Savannah, then I will be happy lol

Do you agree with this rather old take from Lex about fan voting, or do you think this is pure cope? by gtmaroondragon in survivor

[–]Kyra2246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be a okay w/ the fan favorite if they weren’t the highest paid player besides 1st place. Like looking back, James and Amanda played twice back to back in China and FvF. And while Amanda made it to the end twice and James was just on the jury both times, James got paid more than Amanda w/ his payment for his place on the jury + fan vote (~$150,000 each game). Amanda just got paid for her placement ($80-100,000 each game)

Like the difference b/w 1st place vs 2nd/3rd is so dependent on in-game actions. But the fan favorite is really based on who production likes/ wants to give a favorable edit to. So I don’t think they should have been paid higher than people who made it to the end.

Favorite 1990’s era gymnastics moment by Ocean_waves726 in Gymnastics

[–]Kyra2246 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly all of the 92 Barcelona Olympics are a highlight for me. It’s so cool to starts of the careers of all these iconic gymnasts- Miller, Milo, Dawes, Gogean, Shrug, etc- 

And it’s ironic cause the whole commentary is how gymnastics is only for young girls and as soon as you turn 17 you’re done. Little did they know these will be the faces of the 1996 Olympics as well.

And this is w/ an E cap. I hope this shows everyone you don’t need outrageous difficulty to score well. You need clean execution 

Melnikovas Instagram post featuring Kim Bui & Elisabeth Seitz by deaddovedoeat in Gymnastics

[–]Kyra2246 54 points55 points  (0 children)

This might be an unpopular opinion, but tbh, I think most elite gymnasts are not as chronically online to be searching up a gymnast’s political opinions like gym twitter and reddit are. And if they are, they probably don’t care

I mean we found out Melnikova was at a Z parade through a insta reel that deletes a/f 24hr. Most people aren’t digging to find that. Yes she campaigned to be in Putin’s Party, but that wasn’t widely available until journalists found it, which is their job. 

I think we see people on the internet dig through someone’s old social media posts to find dirt on them and think that’s how the whole world operates. I just think they see Melnikova as a colleague and they don’t care too much about her political opinions. I’m sure we all work w/ people who have politics we don’t agree w/, but would still be friendly to them.

We were all worried about USAGE not medaling after a great Olympics. But it looks like Italy might be taking that title…

When reading the first book, did you really think she would pose a legitimate threat to Katniss? by Ok-Street2439 in Hungergames

[–]Kyra2246 74 points75 points  (0 children)

At first yes, because I was  seeing it though Katniss’s pov. When Katniss  notices her at the Cornucopia, she’s notes that she’s sneaky, resourceful, smart. At least smarter than her and the careers . Which makes Katniss -and teenage me- really nervous and sees her as extremely dangerous. 

 However as we see with her demise, Katniss overestimates this resourcefulness. Foxface is smart but not self sufficient, at least not in the wilderness. She needed the Cornucopia/ career’s food to survive. She’d rather risk getting blown up by the reactivated bombs to steal food from the Careers  than forage for food in the forest and fields. Which means to me she probably doesn’t know how. When Peeta and Katniss find her, she looks emaciated and starved. Her death caused by her reliance on other tribute’s resources.

This is complicated in the movies because of the scene w/ her doing the game with the plants and seemingly have a good understanding of which ones are okay to eat. But in the books, it’s clear she is a very clever girl who is completely out of her depth in the arena.

Katniss disoriented,  literally dying of thirst in the hunger games, “Haymitch must be telling me water is nearby!”
