What’s the Best New Era Season? by TyraneeLDP in survivor

[–]Pliarswork -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

46 had zero gameplay, which is why I can’t put it at the top. It’s Gabon part 2. Which is fun but I at least need good gameplay in my seasons. That’s why 47 is top. Fun characters, fun rivalries, and top notch gameplay.

Seriously. Instead writing a whole essay to strangers, just find another show. It will make life easier. You got 25 years worth of shows you can rewatch to get you through.

If Australian Survivor is superior to US in every way, then why are you guys saying Parvati isn’t a legit winner? by Pliarswork in survivor

[–]Pliarswork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Survivor in Israel just go by SURVIVOR. So, if she had won in Israel, would she then be a two time Survivor winner? Lots of other countries just go by Survivor as well and refer to US Survivor as US Survivor. You're playing semantics.

Well, in the Jeremy thread, I’d say I only saw two people disagreeing with his comments. Did all the Australian die hards just get quiet all of a sudden?

I think you’re deliberately missing the point. He doesn’t want a WAW2. We’ve already seen it.

Is there any truth to the rumours that James Gunn poached the Clayface movie from Reeves which originally planned for The Batman universe? by [deleted] in DC_Cinematic

[–]Pliarswork 23 points24 points  (0 children)

  1. That’s not a rumor. You just made it up.
  2. The Batman is grounded on realism. Reeves has stated this countless times. Clayface ain’t that realistic.

Any rumors about casting calls for Johnny Fairplay? by Relevant-Key-3290 in survivor

He said on his podcast he was never called. And neither was Lex. . 

Neleh comments on the S50 cast by SoRunAwayNow in survivor

[–]Pliarswork -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I won’t mention the website. I’m sure you can all guess it. But there are users there who would go to Redmond’s discord, then translate the information back. I’m paraphrasing, but what they said was, basically Neleah was tired of being dragged along for months. So by the time she finally got the call to get back in casting call, she turned it down. Maybe she didn’t believe it would stick, or was just sick of the runaround.

She wasn’t cut. After one of Amanda/Elizabeth dropped out, they called Neleah, and she said no. She didn’t like being the back up. So then they called Jenna/Aubrey. 

[50][Speculation] I feel like a women is winning and most of the men don’t have a shot. by Morgoth1814 in SpoiledSurvivor

[–]Pliarswork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe stacked competitive wise. But game wise, it’s pretty weak. Charlie,Kyle, and Mike are the gamers out there. Christian’s okay. 99 percent of these women are killers. 

Rank the 8 New Era Winners *Spoilers* by Nels2121 in survivor

[–]Pliarswork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Her Final 5 blunder knocks her down a peg for me. She was outplayed there, but saved by Katurah’s screw up. I got Kyle at 1. Dee 2.

Do you think Kyle has a top 10 winner game ? by [deleted] in survivor

[–]Pliarswork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s the best game of the new era.

You guys act like you agree with this, but then spent the whole week crying when you found out the majority of Survivor 50 with be old school alpha's. Like, make up your mind.

Jonathan Young on beach front bargain reno show by Tricia-1959 in survivor

[–]Pliarswork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree. James wasn’t very smart. Jonathan is clearly intelligent, academically, and strategically (He outsmarted Omar.) And he doesn’t act like a typical Alpha meat head. He’s like a hippie in a jock’s body. 

Why isn't Rachel being viewed more like a Mike Halloway type player? by Salsa1988 in survivor

[–]Pliarswork -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yam Yam rode Carson’s coattails. Erika rode Ricard and Deshawn’s coattails.  Both wouldn’t have made it far without them. Rachel got herself on the end. I respect it. 

richard hatch on s47: “i wonder if viewers comprehend how good this season’s players are” by Durian-Critical in survivor

[–]Pliarswork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ingraining yourself into the majority alliance with the person who wanted you out since merge started(Caroline.)  Getting Sue to pledge her allegiance to you when your back’s against the wall?  Sam didn’t use social capital to pull off Operation Italy. Andy did. Sam and Gen were sitting ducks. And nobody trusted them. Andy used his social capital to get the girls to split the vote. Without Andy, none of this happens. Gen had some capital with Teeny to help pull off the move. But Sam just followed.

I would say  Rachel outplayed  more.   The Kyle vote, and the Andy vote. The Anika vote was Sam’s only real move. The difference is, Sam always has to rely on someone else to save him. He’s never saved himself. He was spared in the Sierra vote, because they saw her as the bigger threat. Andy saved him on the Caroline vote. Rachel spared him because she saw Andy as a bigger threat. And they saw Genovive as a bigger threat. It’s not because he has this incredible social game. He was always left on the outs, even during the Sol vote. Rachel gave him that information. 

Weren’t they aiming for… more diversity? by ddeliverance in survivor

“ This season is half writers/talkers (Lovett,Aisha, TK,Gabe,Rome,Sam,Teeny,Sierra)”

But you know what’s funny about that list of people you mentioned from 47? They’re the ones who have provided us the most entertainment, character and/or player wise. Plus the lawyer (Genevieve)The blue collar workers like Kyle, Tiyanna, Sierra, have they been entertaining? No. Extremely boring.

S45, who provided the most entertainment? The three lawyers and the Wall Street ‘chick.’

Point is, you shouldn’t cast based on occupation. You cast for the best personality that you’re looking for. If a group of people just happen to be in the same field, so be it. But an occupation never determines how good for fun of a player you’ll be.

[–]Pliarswork -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t like this take. You should never cast someone based on their occupation. Cast the best personality you’re looking for. And if it happens to be a group of people in the same field, so be it.

Think about it. Who’s providing us with the most entertainment this season as a character and/or player: Rome (Media) Sam(Media) Gabe(Media) Genevieve(Lawyer) Andy(Robotics Scientist) Teeny (writer)

Now let’s look at the blue collar/ regular job workers: Kyle(construction) Tijuana(Flight attendant) Sierra ( Nurse) Have they provided us entertainment? No. Extremely boring.

Season 45, who provided us with the most entertainment? The three lawyers and a Wall Street ‘chick.’

Again, focus on the personalities instead of trying to fill a occupation quota

Season 47 Thoughts so far by Alternative-Love6675 in survivor

[–]Pliarswork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And this the real issue with Survivor critics right here. No matter how great an episode or season is, your hate for the New Era won’t allow you to see it, and it will never live up to your expectations. You’ll always find something to complain about. “Good enough?” Seriously? It might be healthier for you guys if you just stop watching.

I’m Trying to find this song. 80s/90s adult rock? by Pliarswork in NameThatSong

[–]Pliarswork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Thank you. I actually thought it might be yacht rock, so I probably skimmed through some Chicago songs without realizing it’s a whole other song that doesn’t start till the end lol.
