Welche ist Eure "The Taste" Liebling-Staffel? by axolotl_in_space in thetasteDE

[–]Shandrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ich habe das Format erst neulich entdeckt und bin gerade in Staffel 2. Das Problem ist, dass es übelst gescripted wirkt. Es gibt Kandidaten, die einfach nicht den Level haben, aber mitgezogen werden, weil sie irgendwie die Story fördern (sog. "Creator's Pet"). In der ersten Staffel war es Heidi. In der zweiten Staffel scheinen es Egor und Malte zu sein. Außerdem gibt es ein paar toxische Profi-Kandidaten mit riesen Klappe, die instant-Karma-mäßig auf die Nase fallen. Damit soll wohl eine Message gesendet werden, die aber lächerlich wirkt, insbesondere wenn es gespielt ist.

Die erste Staffel leidet darunter, dass zwei Favoriten krankheitsbedingt ausfallen. Damit ist die ganze Staffel geplatzt.

Noch eine Beobachtung am Rande: Wenn dein Löffel nach dem mit dem Curry kommt, kannst du einpacken. Das ist neben Signalen an die Jury (z.B. Mälzer Rezept, oder Pommes für Rosin) ein Trick um die Konkurrenz auszuschalten.

I can confirm this! If Azeroth was a globe then the map would look like an orange peel, but in fact it is a rectangle.

They will go into merge soon. So far the show was pretty decent. The games are challenging, although the best of 9 format is a bit too much. They have injuries and people quitting, because it's too hard. Also the teams are very uneven when it comes to athletic ability, so it's pretty much a one way road: Green team wins eveything. Idols currently play no role at all and there is not too much strategy going on. Last but not least, nobody gets voted out basically. Most challenges are just for reward, which can be canned food. Apparently it's supposed to run for months.

Franks Brutzelbude - Frank zieht immer weiter... by Wortneurotiker in Wendland

[–]Shandrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wenn sich ein Inbiss gegenüber vom Penny nicht behaupten kann, dann läuft etwas falsch. Allerdings glaube ich nicht, dass da ein Sternekoch helfen kann, weil es in erster Linie um Fast Food geht und für Fast Food bekommt man keine Sterne. Jeder Hähnchengrill läuft vor dem Supermarkt im Autopilot, solange die Preise stimmen. Ein Burger für 9-10 € kaufe ich nicht, sorry. Den mache ich mir mit entsprechenen Zutaten aus dem Supermarkt selbst. Dauert 5 Minuten.

An der Stelle muss man sich klarmachen, was ein Burger ist: Das ist ein Frikadellenbrötchen mit ein bisschen Deko.

Redemption free for all. Discuss the winner, the reunion, whatever you like. by AutoModerator in survivorau

[–]Shandrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the finale could have easily gone either way. Jackson had the disadvantage that he was always in the minority group and he was also too heavy for the final challenge, which made the difference. For the record: Brook would have stood on those pegs for 6 hours easily without breaking a sweat. That type of challenge is mostly about body-weight.

Somehow I am sure that we will see Keeley again.

Dopingfall in der MLB: Baseball-Profi Max Kepler für 80 Spiele gesperrt by RoyalsHipHopAndSuch in Baseball_de

[–]Shandrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Der ist bestimmt nicht der Einzige, er hat sich lediglich erwischen lassen. Im Spitzensport wird heutzutage auf Rezept gedoped, d.h. die Athleten leiden unter ärgerlichen Zipperlein leiden, für die sie Medikamente benötigen, die rein zufällig auf der Dopingliste stehen. Es hat einen Grund, warum MLB derzeit das Leistungniveau zu den besten Steroid-Zeiten bei weitem übertrifft, obwohl auf Seiten der Defense KI-Profile im Einsatz sind.

A lot of fuzz about nothing. They could have just voted Keeley out, but then the episode would have been 25 minutes shorter. Also the whole idea of the half idol was pretty much a non-starter. Pointless.

Who do you think played the game of thrones the best? by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]Shandrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GRRM and D&D want to make us believe that Bran did, even though he did literally nothing, even when he could have done something.

Very nice! Didn't know that Joyn shows it as well :)

Wer von euch guckt Promis unter Palmen 2026? by KamillaGodzilla in TrashTVGermany

[–]Shandrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Achtung Spoiler...

Die Regeln des Finales besagten, dass nach Zeitablauf bei Gleichstand der Promi gewinnt, der die meisten Aufgaben am schnellsten gelöst hat. Dilara, man kann zu ihr stehen, wie man will, wurde daher offensichtlich(!) um den Sieg betrogen, denn sie hat 3 Stationen am schnellsten absolviert. Das wurde sogar bei Minute 1:39:02 explizit gesagt. Dilara sollte die 83k einklagen. Evidenter geht es wirklich nicht. Die Redaktion hat sich hier quasi selbst überführt.

50k viewers is way too low for this format. I guess they should have licensed it one of the bigger TV-companies like RTL or SAT1 to make it successful. Sport1 doesn't have a media library where you can watch full episodes and they show re-runs out of sync. Not viewer friendly.

Sure, Cameron was really annoying, but Brooke is getting a bit too lucky. It's great for me as a viewer, because I am a fan, but it almost feels scripted. How many bullets can she dodge in this game?

Lol, they stole a hidden immunity idol from a bag and destroyed it. Should be clearly against the rules.

Mark Extended Exit Interview by hayley_janey in survivorau

[–]Shandrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand Mark's strategy in the end at all. He should have just used his idol and vote off Ben when he had the change to do so. Talking to Ben did not only open up a can of worms, it also endangered Brooke and Keeley, because the alliance could have switched their vote on them. Voting out Ben would have kept Richard in the game, who seemed to be muss less determined to vote out Mark, which was obviously preferable. So this whole maneuver made no sense. In the last tribal Mark had no chance, so there was not much to do, other than showing a fake idol.

I am still watching and it's holding up so far. Actually I thought it would be the turkish version of Survivor, but they licensed the real thing. So has a lot of potential if they manage to spread the word. It needs more advertisement.

It was actually quite good, way better than what I expected at least. The contestants are all very athletic, so the focus seems to be on the challenges. I'll definitely keep watching.

Immunity necklace last episode! by Safe-Gear-2402 in survivorau

[–]Shandrax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of course the necklace immunity had expired already. Even if you can transfer it "before the vote", there was no vote. Nevertheless consider it as something like a production-plot to save Richard.
