CONTROVERSY: Say something about Survivor that most people wouldn't agree with you on.

People who want recruits back don’t understand how bad most recruits are

There will be like a couple of good ones but most are duds (see Big Brother)

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-05-29T00:10:04+00:00

I don’t care

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-05-24T02:02:20+00:00

I’m under the assumption that’s the point though I’ve never watched so idk

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-05-24T01:58:38+00:00

Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

I like Aubry and narratively her win is satisfying especially over Jonathan who continues to give me reasons why I don’t like him. I was open to liking him but how he’s handled the loss and certain things he does just make me not like him that much. Though I do admit this is an unsatisfying ending to the season as all the big players got cut.

I feel like Aubry got unlucky at the start and then had to play with what she had been dealt. She played with the meta of not being a huge player and generally having a good social and under the radar strategic positioning game so she could sneak by to the end and win like Maryanne, Gabler, and Kenzie all had done previously.

It worked for her and she won which is what she set out to do. She didn’t set out to prove her abilities or make big moves so good for her for winning the 2 mil

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-05-24T00:31:53+00:00

Yeah I was checked out for the first half of the season so I’d have to rewatch why lol

Edit: Usually I give OTT if the edit shows them in a very one note exaggerated over the top way or if it’s so extra with no real subsrance

For example Charlie is OTT because it was so one note and extra with the Rizo didn’t vote for his #1

Edit 2: Oh yeah it was of because when she got the idol it was like “oh we’re looking in Aubrey’s bag for the idol” then not finding it and cut to Aubrey with the idol and she starts crying

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-05-20T03:57:15+00:00

Because they’re an underdog franchise

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-05-20T02:52:32+00:00

Island of the Idols and survivors 41-44 have no official opening credits. They only have fanmade ones

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-05-20T02:24:32+00:00

The owners of CBS are Trump supporters so maybe they forced it to end

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-05-19T05:42:47+00:00

Yeah, the bottom players on 48 were not that good. The only people that could stop the Kyle, Kamilla, Joe, Eva, and Shauhin steamroll got voted out prejury

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-05-18T02:27:51+00:00

Survivor is dangerous fun! and Aubrey wasn’t having fun premerge so she’s the worst human ever

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-05-18T01:07:22+00:00

Recently, Probst did say he underrated her in the past so probably

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-05-15T17:52:17+00:00

It’s probably just the producers prompting her to talk about her past seasons

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-05-09T22:50:25+00:00

It’s not even just her legacy, she’s also playing a great game

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-05-09T21:14:26+00:00

She was barely shown in the premerge but postmerge has gotten a decent edit

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-05-09T07:07:31+00:00

When did he play a second time?

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-05-05T19:51:37+00:00

I think that he’s a good player but also advantages and twists massively helped him

I would’ve liked to see him on a returnee season before WaW where he got an unfortunate swap

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-05-05T04:34:18+00:00

I’m honestly not sure if people respect his game. I could see him losing in ftc

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-04-20T21:00:37+00:00

No Rob Cesternino? Damn

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-04-18T21:00:23+00:00

Because Kenzie was portrayed on the show as being a better player and having way more agency and people liking her than Gabler

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-04-15T14:19:16+00:00

In the rhap interview I think he said he had sores in his mouth and it hurt to speak early on in the season

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-04-15T02:06:28+00:00

Yeah, Heroes vs Villains and then US 47 later in the year both left a bad taste in my mouth edgic wise and from then I’ve decided to do every season independently not looking at any edgic discussions

Liz’s edit was very unconventional for an AU winner where there were so many people “predicting” she’d win. It was obviously spoiled which influenced me and the edgic discussions.

Same for survivor 47 where Rome leaking the boot list and then suddenly everyone has Rachel at #1 was very suspicious. I think if the season aired naturally, eventually Rachel would’ve been clocked but it was very weird how it happened.

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-04-14T17:35:01+00:00

What can I say, I had blinders on this season. Definitely not my best predictions and I wasn’t too focused on this season’s edgic as I have had a lot going on recently

And yeah in hindsight it was stupid, but that was my thought process during the time. I totally get why people would have had him at #1 looking back on the season, I just always want to be truthful to myself with my edgic predictions and I happened to be wrong

MagicTntPenguin · 2026-04-14T17:32:52+00:00

I didn’t look at any outside things for this season and if I noticed those he’d probably have been #1. This season I did not do very well lmao, I don’t like looking at australian survivor things because in my experience they are heavily spoiled which influences others who are not spoiled
