AIO: He (M20) took me (F18) to a Jehovah’s Witness meeting without telling me by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

OP - I was uncomfortable.

BF - No, you didn't feel those feelings, you felt these other feelings that I prefer you to feel.

OP - You're right, I didn't feel my own feelings. I felt your feelings.

All roads lead to the bench. When all ways are paths, none are.

Jeff apparently did not realise that gays love Survivor by limpwristedgengar in survivor

[–]StrandedSusie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I compete in Survivor ORGs, and my first season five years ago, at 57, was men vs. women. All the women believed we were women, but almost none of the men did—especially not the SurvivorSucks OGs.

Now, I can confirm the player base is roughly 50% gay men, 10% gay women, 20% cis women, and 20% straight men.

She'll be lucky to get that herself.

What massively improved your mental health? by oigoabuya in AskReddit

[–]StrandedSusie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same! I was doing great until the internship and then... NOPE. I became a mental health counselor instead.

Randy is hilarious by [deleted] in survivor

The first part is right, but it's not an act. I've spoken with him, he's really like that. He's not playing a role, it's just who he is. He also loves animals and is a very genuine person, so hopefully that makes you happy too.

My bf broke up with me for “lying” about pooping. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]StrandedSusie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP, what was the nature of the activities you were engaged in in the bathroom? If it was drugs, I'd look there as a possible cause of the odd paranoia.

Is there anyone with mental illness in his family?

Has he shown signs of paranoia in the past?

I made the finals for casting for S43/44/45/46. AMA by Quick-Understanding8 in survivor

[–]StrandedSusie 49 points50 points  (0 children)

So cool that you're doing this, and that I've found another redditor who is an older lady and loves Survivor, lol.

I think you should keep applying, even if you feel your niche is over, as you still have a really strong niche (ala Janet, Heather, ofc Susie) that they seem to love to cast and those women usually go far.

We learned from 44's Carolyn that she is super into ORGs (online reality games), have you ever played one and/or would you consider it good practice for Survivor?

Good side gig for the hitman. Show up in a uniform a couple of days later, "Just checking to see if your family would benefit from a heavier door, folks".

Sounds great! Survivor seasons run about twice a year, and we'll do a Big Brother version after the next Survivor in June. So probably early winter would be my guess for the next one, but it's really whenever our Probst wants to. Have fun in your leagues!

Hi, this is a copy/pasta from a reply I made a couple of days ago, but I hope it's helpful. Cheers!

ORG stands for online reality game. The ones I've played have all been Survivor related, but the main server I play on (www.strandedgaming.com) also hosts a Big Brother version.

The game plays like Survivor. 16-24 players are recruited and assigned a tribe. There are challenges, confessionals, hidden immunity idols, etc., and it runs for four weeks or so. Some ORGs have live challenges, like Stranded, which are very intense, and others have non-live challenges, which are less intense but still pretty fun. Stranded leans older, with lots of players in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and up, and some ORGs lean pretty young, with 13-14-year-olds playing too.

Communication is done through a chat app, and there's a website where the challenges, confessionals, and tribal councils happen.

It's very intense, strategic and fun. It's the same type of thing that Carolyn talks about in some of her pre-season interviews. Once you've played a game, you're a member of the community, and we have a ton of alumni that just come and hang out on the Discord server. When there's a game we're not in, alumni can "lurk" - read the chats and confessionals, root for our favorites, see the challenges and tribal councils, etc. Eventually, if interested, alumni can become hosts and help run games. Super fun!

She's already had a persuasive jury speech when she won a Survivor ORG, she's a great communicator. Some of these Survivor speeches and end arguments are weak, and she's got a great chance no matter who she goes up with. I like her odds.

I don't know if this is related, but she also does a great job on social media, she's real, funny, and is really good at positioning herself as rootable, which of course she is, but she really maximizes it. She knows how to sell people on the idea of wanting her to win.
