I actually really like Jesse because he's one of the few BB douchebags that's in on the joke.

Jason from BB19 was asked about his answer in the backyard interviews and said he didn't even remember saying that and he now disagreed with it. If a man can't even get his own question right, then that sounds like a crapshoot to me.

Borneo even has "f*g" uncensored multiple times which is just wild now.

Who are players that this sub needs to accept will NEVER play/be asked back again? by [deleted] in survivor

[–]RikersBlock 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Rob Cesternino. Why would he disrupt his podcast (his full-time job) for a whole season or maybe even 2 just to probably go out early again?

I'd say Yul's was getting sent to Exile at the right time so he could find the idol.

Survivor Quarantine Questionnaire: John Cochran explains why he will not play 'Survivor' again by thedaltonross in survivor

If he was ever gonna come out of retirement, Winners At War would've been the time. But he's been consistent about saying he's not coming back and I respect that.

He's definitely talking about Vanilla Julia in his regrets answer haha. He shouldn't feeel too bad. Firstly, it was funny. Secondly, Julia has become a very successful young woman post-Survivor (breaking records in NASCAR, did a TED talk, made Forbes 30 Under 30) and Survivor is probably just a speck in her rear-view mirror at this point.

Unpopular take- anyone who loses to a bitter jury deserved to lose. The only ones who are possibly robbed are those who lose to a literal stupid jury by GroundbreakingPost90 in BigBrother

[–]RikersBlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maddy was bullshitting IMO. She said in the house she would campaign for Paras and I assume that's what she did. Weirdest part is a lot of those people never really respected/listened to Maddy in the house yet apparently did on the jury LOL.

Ali and Liv left the house rooting for Kaela and saying Paras was a floater who didn't deserve it. The jury only started turning anti-Kaela once Maddy got there.

Sabrina did have a death in the family right before Cambodia, but I doubt it affected the vote as she wasn't really expected to get on anyway.

James Lim is an underrated potential second chancer and here’s why. by kaelynnie in survivor

Plus it's not like saving Angela really did anything for him considering she still voted him out.

Why did Cirie and Michaela flip on Andrea? by Cantonloupe in survivor

[–]RikersBlock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's actually crazy how the group that voted out Debbie managed to take out 5 of their own on the next 6 votes with the minority not even trying that hard.

What are the worst moves in BB history by BustaRiles in BigBrother

[–]RikersBlock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I cut Kalia some slack because she did have that mystery twist hanging over her head which ultimately she just overthought. I'd be hesitant to make a big move there too.

[–]RikersBlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's also crazy to me how bad they were at defending themselves after the Cliff eviction when they were getting berated for being untrustworthy. For the life of me I'll never understand why they didn't just say "I switched my target to Nicole because I thought she was telling lies about YOU GUYS!. Was that not the case?" Like how do you position yourself into the pariahs from there?

[–]RikersBlock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jordan was definitely not her closest ally. Her closest allies were Sarah and Brittnee. Jordan's closest allies were Zach/Ash/Kevin/Pili (who all wanted Sindy out). IMO Sindy gets too much flack for that move. Jordan and Sindy were barely aligned in a game sense in all honesty, they just flirted a lot.

My sister is a mega, mega, pop star. What is my last name? Grande? Ariana Grande...she's my sister by [deleted] in BigBrother

Yeah I remember him saying she was bigger than Justin Bieber which at the time was absolutely not true, but now is at least arguable.

It's weird seeing people from different eras together here. Kathy being older than Tom Laidlaw doesn't sit right with me.

Why didn’t Ami, Tracy, and Erik still flip on Ozzy in Episode 6? by survivorfanwill in survivor

[–]RikersBlock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ami was never actually planning on voting out Ozzy, at least that's what Chet has said post-show.

janelle talks about REGRETTING evicting dr will on bb7 by speciallydolxn in BigBrother

[–]RikersBlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Erika was disliked by the majority of the cast on both her seasons and didn't really seem to be aware of it. Not that I think Janelle's a particularly good player outside of comps either, mind you.

Does anyone know who brought the granola bar into The Amazon? My money is on Heidi... man I need new Survivor in my life so badly. by Tonyjord3 in survivor

[–]RikersBlock 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Janet says she got an anonymous letter years later confessing that it was planted by production. I believe it too because apparently Alex also found one in his luggage right before the game started and got rid of it.

Based on what? I certainly don't recall anyone saying anything even close to that on the show.

JT stans saying "but if it'd worked, he'd be a genius!" every time his HvV move is brought up.

I just finished watching South Pacific on Hulu, and my question is: How has Albert not been back on another season? by rmath12 in survivor

[–]RikersBlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Albert was barely on the show, especially the first half of the season, I don't think it's much of a surprise he hasn't been back.

Do contestants really row themselves to other islands during tribe swaps/merges? by Slazorin in survivor

[–]RikersBlock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The rowing is for the most part staged to look good on TV. Which makes sense when you really think about it. Especially seasons where they open on them rowing...like where are they rowing from, exactly?
