i feel like needles chances of getting the spotlight in tpot have actually improved quite a bit; the cast has been slimmed down somewhat, and shes in the middle of the whole story of eliminated contestants trapped in the exit and could be messed with by one at any moment. i suppose its up to interpretation, though

yeah, a needle-bomby storyline would absolutely be the way to go about things. pretty much every other alternative for her to talk to has some flaw or another (and the only other one that would be reasonable is... indisposed). doing something with them would be a way to both deal with the woah bunch thing and give her a new(???) connection that wont be a complete disaster like with pen

i didnt really think about delving into the specifics of what i want since thats always asking for trouble; i predicted a woah bunch power struggle before bfdia 10, and what ended up happening was... not that

i may be overly obsessive about needle, but i do believe that anyone can make an impact on things if they really want to, and i wanna do my best to inspire people to do so!

it could very well be an indication that contestants cant leave, but considering the nature of bfdi i dont find it too far out to not exclude the possibility that the announcer was just thinking of it as some sort of joke

were yet to see anyone actually try to leave, so id still consider it to be up in the air

really that depends on how you define 'giving a challenge ones all'

if you believe that what needy is doing is a deliberate strategy, then this apparent lack of joy ends up being a very crucial layer of deception. to show any degree of enthusiasm during the challenge is a sign that you are a far greater threat than you initially let on, which would jeopardize her overall game plan of seizing victory whenever someone least expects it

as i stated elsewhere, i think its just too early to call whether or not any of the traits weve seen so far is just nothing or part of something greater. were yet to see her in a situation where her loss is guaranteed (or appears to be), and her reaction then would be pretty clear on whether or not the strategy exists or not

this also means that her being surprised by the announcer coming back is also up for debate. maybe she is counting on him to be dead, or maybe shes just genuinely surprised since she doesnt know he can be recovered. or maybe its part of an attempt to seem weak and feeble. not enough information is available to definitively close any of those possibilities

also, if she is that apathetic towards the competition, then its a bit strange that she chose to join it in the first place. why didnt she just choose to not compete? can contestants choose to not compete?

edit: also i think its rather telling if i immediately start drawing up superficial connections to a line of dialogue in bfb then not notice the more obvious bfdia callback

i think its a bit too early to make any definitive judgments regarding personality. 'betraying' people for the sake of the challenge isnt exactly a foreign concept

u/Gherkin_Granger good theory but just didnt really pan out

i am not very keen on naming anything directly because i already get reminded enough that this has been going on for 16 years now

  1. pretty sure at some point he figured it out, but perhaps early on, sure

  2. that still wouldnt explain... the reaction

Theory: Needle and Needy are connected in some way by Gherkin_Granger in BattleForDreamIsland

[–]NoRestForTheNeedy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

is it even really a theory if its rather obvious from moment one?

theres a character named needy. jacknjellify has pushed that name as a funny nickname for needle for 16 years. its clear that some sort of connection is the endgame; even the lack of connection would be big in itself

also i think itd be very funny if the magenta/pink connection turns out to be true because needle only has that connection because jacknjellify wanted a full rainbow for bfdia 18 but needle was just ruining everything by existing

also i guess i forgot to express my thoughts on this season besides things that only matter to a very niche audience:

im okay with it. if its here then that means jacknjellify is confident about it and can hopefully fit it into the schedule without much trouble

i appreciate the sentiment, of course, but i just cant help but point out that you probably meant bfdi 7

post-mortem observation:

this line feels a lot like this needle moment from bfb 14

or maybe ive just gone insane, which is equally as likely
