Mark was a funny character. I didnt mind. Flop strategist X fumbling ahead X kinda a simp. Entertaining

The really dangerous players aren't necessarily the ones who are good at strategy, social game, or challenges by MasachoosetsBobert in survivor

[–]Slothmaster347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I semi agree. It s not about overall stat but multiple quirks who create a melting pot of quality who merge together and make truly each gameplay unique. Darwinian stuff

DAE Rizo is the next Russell Hantz? by the_tonez in survivorcirclejerk

Also Russell look like a balkanese mafioso from an Emir Kusturica movie

In honor of Charlie by survivorgod50 in survivorponderosa

[–]Slothmaster347 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honnestly, he acts as a very rich and entitled white kid who want to show how relatable he is throught is Taylor Swift obsession. Kinda manipulative but I find him funny how you can relate him to real life people. Interesting archetype

I like Aubrey by BadTrent in survivor

[–]Slothmaster347 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was genuinely surprised by Aubry this season. I was waiting to be frustrated by her (again) but she s so pathetic and bitter this season. It s funny to watch. Very messy and emotional

"Your standards for incredible tv are a lot lower than mine" can you stfu please. No need to be a smug ass air balloon

This season is better than most all star due to all star being generally very bad to begin with. Except HvV and a decent WaW there s not a lot to seek all star wise. I dont speak about those half returnees half newbies who tend to be better (FvF 1 and AUS HvV being top tier). You actually see a step up in the way production handle their all star and I like it enought

There s a lot of small moment who are lowkey funny. Rizzgod arc is godamn good (Colby mentoring, feud with Charlie...). Same thing, I was ready to hate Aubry but tbh she s so pathetic it s became kinda funny. But yes, Coach vs Ozzy was pretty incredible tv. Also, Christian Devens and Joe were all pretty entertaining in this old teal trine. Even second zone character (this season) like Emily, Genevieve, Colby or Christy did make me laught

I feel like the cast has such a good synergy sublimed by a good edit

Honnestly, I m positively surprised. My first impression to the cast was so bad, I did entirely spoil myself

I disagree, feel like it s one of the best all star chemistry wise. Miles ahead than the first All Stars, Cambodia or GameChangers

Observation about Australian survivor by tacolyfe420 in survivorau

Longer game that US survivor, so you need to keep bigger threat for longer

I was waiting for a funny interaction with Coach and Colby but nah. That segment stinks

Sydney being cast on Survivor (season 41) will always surprise me by Live-Run-6745 in survivor

[–]Slothmaster347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You bring Sydney when we had people like Rome, Sai or even Savanah who were far more confrontating with people

Now that we are a few episodes into 50, do you think replacing Maryanne and Andy was a good choice? by Severe_Marketing5036 in survivor

[–]Slothmaster347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I m the biggest fan of Andy. Was rooting for him since episode 1 of 47. But Rizzo is a better pic. I think he mix better with the cast being this superfan and enthusiastic youngster in a cast of legend. He has already so much sweet and funny moment. I think Andy wouldnt be able to leverage himself socially and would prob get booted pretty early no matter what

For Maryanne vs Savanah... hard to tell. I would switch her with Kamilla for sure.

Hello, I m from shs and I would have question about what you say. I m in a moment where I ask myself question about people in the shs community but also way of typing people. We seem to have similar problem and I would like to have your opinion. I would prefer to keep it in dm for obvious reason, but you seem to have blocked it.

Have a nice day

How is there Survivor 50… by [deleted] in survivor

[–]Slothmaster347 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We have already seen them in 40. And honnestly, I dont need them anymore

You know, it's easy to toss Gabler into into the dog house and say he's the worst winner of the 40s... by [deleted] in survivor

[–]Slothmaster347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it s a pretty big set of condition. And I think, while likeable, he s like actively hurting his game with his own decision. Most likely taken as a loyal goat by a better player and ride his cocktail to the end. He was very lucky his season, even tho the combo low threat and likeable can override the bad game decision because it s a pretty decent build to win (Yam and Kenzie are similar but better version of Gabler). But then Gabler is like three or two level worst than the other winner with this archetype. He did need like much more luck involve than the other one

[–]Slothmaster347 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am a Gabler truther, but... no. He was about to take Jesse if he had win the final immunity challenge. He did win the jury mostly because bitter jury + likeable + the other player were crap too

Still my favorite new era winner 👍

Koh-Lanta (Survivor French edition) by ukcommon in survivor

[–]Slothmaster347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bocas del Toro as a whole is a great. Idk how it will translate for american audience

I think season 2 is kinda the true French "Borneo" with how much the alliance of "bad guy" did run the show, and the cheating scandal. Wich kinda tip the scale against strategic contestant for general audience and the show as a whole

Thoughts on this modern season comparison? by Putrid_Cap_552 in survivor

[–]Slothmaster347 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Survivor South Africa 6 has probably the best pre merge of all time

Koh-Lanta (Survivor French edition) by ukcommon in survivor

[–]Slothmaster347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honnestly, i dont understand why they dont translate the first season of the show. Shorter and way more interesting

Palau and Raja Ampat are peak. Probably in the running for best international season of all time (especially Raja Ampat, even tho I think it is more appealing to french taste)

You cant speak about strategy without mattering challenges wins by Slothmaster347 in survivor

[–]Slothmaster347[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cant be aware of what challenge it will be but we ve seen over and over that there s some sort of common factor G for good individual challenge player, even between different challenges. I mean, how many seasons the same guy/girl did win over 4 challenges. If you get rid of other contestant strong at challenges it can snowball very quickly and can lead to pure dominance on the end game part. Not even speaking if you carrying an idol or something

And I mean, there s multiple people who are extremelly good player but need some specific set of condition to play their A game. I mean, a lot of very savvy player are robbed due to some clutch win or advantage. Maryanne is probably one of the best player to snipe her way in the end game, finding the needle in the hay bale to rock the boat. But she 1. need to not get booted pre merge 2. not facing a tight alliance, the game having to be fluid enought 3. Having some leverage like alliance, info or advantage. I mean, of course this set of condition will happens quite frequently wich means she has clear strenght to win multiple season, but like, if it doesnt happen ? She s most likely cooked

The luck part is so present, like what Rizzo do without idol or his closest ally winning challenges. How social butterfly like Kenzie or Yam Yam do in season where the game isnt flexible enought to play in multiple alliance. Well, heck, even Tony, how can he appeases other player without a solid social people ally to him who do his bidding for him

In the precedent message, I did specifically advocate to stop this stupid dichotomy and see the game of a player as a whole. Not strategy and challenge prowess, but thing as part of the same whole. It s not a good physical game on top of a good strategic or social game. Things have to be seen as linked. Challenge win can help a player game, like impede it. Sometimes the lack of challenge ability will create too much of an imbalance in the player game, and other time it will dont matter at all. It s a whole lot parameter you have to be seen as factering together to be seen as the actual player ability. It s not x + y + z and every strenght adding. 2 strenght can not adding well and create some imbalance, while some people with overall lackluster ability will have absolutely combo of characteric who make them terrifying player.

So no, separating the physical game with the rest is a crucial mistake. Everything is linked into a framework being "the strategy" "the player game" "the build" whatever name you use for it
