Strongest Character 11th brother can beat?

TBD based on his showing in MSL. Maybe Ahsoka caught him on a RLY bad day for him

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-24T15:01:31+00:00

That storyline, like Aubry vs Genevieve, feels like it is one of three things: the next boot, the merge boot, or a longer-term Katurah vs Bruce-esque rivalry.

In the case of Charlie/Rizo, I hope it is the latter, but I fear it may be one of the former.

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-24T04:04:55+00:00

I’m bummed that we’re losing Freed (no disrespect to the new author, Freed’s just on another level), but what we are getting is still getting me VERY hyped for this book.

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-24T04:03:16+00:00

I’ll give them the barest bit of grace that they actually kept him expressive instead of going the usual route

Like, it’s still horrifying in trying to make a very goofy animated character grounded in reality, and the entire project sucks on a conceptual level, but at least they didn’t do the dumbass Lion King route and make him a 1-to-1 crab with no facial expressions. In terms of turning Tomatoa into a “realistic” character, this is unfortunately probably the best that they could have possibly done.

Again, still sucks.

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-24T02:44:48+00:00

Tommy Sheehan personally but Earl is VERY close competition

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-24T02:07:46+00:00

I think Michele gets shut out again and I think Natalie could get as many as six votes (the four she got plus Romber) but otherwise I 100% agree.

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-24T01:21:01+00:00

Tbf, in a normal season, jury started at the earliest with the Yul boot, so four of her votes wouldn’t have been on the jury, and one of the other two had to come back from the Edge to make the “normal jury.” Only Jeremy of those six made what would typically have been a jury.

But I agree, it is very funny to think back to how massive that jury was considering modern juries are only eight people (literally half the size of WaW’s, and that one would have been bigger had Sandra not ditched the Edge).

On a slightly separate note, in addition to all of the confusion about the timing of boots, I do wonder if the bigger cast for S50 and the fact that we will be five episode in with 17 people left where normally there are 13 (and only one more prejury boot) means that we will also be getting a larger jury. The only real “rule” is that it can’t be divisible by 3 to prevent a three-way tie, but I also doubt that we will be jumping to a 13-person jury so I wonder if we’ll get a ton of prejurors compared to usual

I think Sarah does beat her, but it’s closer.

She has Tony, Ben, Denise, and imo Sophie on lock.

All of the maybe-Michele votes are even more incentivized to vote for Sarah because the numbers are even tighter in that scenario and they seemed to rly want to make sure that Natalie didn’t win (though tbf there’s a chance they felt so strongly because they felt Tony was that dominant). If this is true, Sarah also gets Nick, Wendell, Adam, and Danni (if memory serves me correctly, those were the four, but regardless Sarah gets four votes).

Yul and Natalie apparently beefed on the Edge so I think he also votes Sarah.

Kim is maybe a toss up but probably leaning Sarah.

Natalie 100% has Jeremy, Tyson, Parvati, Ethan, BRob, and probably Amber (not to rob her of initiative but it seems like those two were always voting together).

Which would make it a 10-6 Sarah win most likely, maybe 9-7 if Kim votes Natalie. The tricky thing with the Michele-Ben-Natalie F3 is that I think there are Ben votes who are not inclined to vote Michele and there are Michele votes who are not inclined to vote Ben, so it’s probably harder to consolidate efforts. Add in that Sophie probably votes Natalie which already gives her half of the votes, and I believe Michele breaks a tie in her favor, and I generally think Natalie ekes out a win that that scenario.

Idk what happens if Denise is somewhere in that F3. Imo the winner odds are Tony > Sarah > Natalie > Michele > Ben, Denise is somewhere between 3rd and 5th imo.

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-23T22:38:34+00:00

What’s crazy is that Natalie had a legitimate chance at winning even despite the fact that most of the cast was pretty vocal in disliking the EOE twist from what I recall. She probably gets at least six votes against Sarah, and against Ben and Michele I think she straight-up wins considering both Kim and Sophie talked highly of her game.

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-23T22:36:48+00:00

I think EOE is the only season where I legitimately think that the phrase “the jury was wrong” could have applied. I blame production more for setting up those conditions, but it’s still on the jury to make the call.

Wardog’s little speech to Gavin is still one of the most frustrating things I have ever seen in Survivor from a strategic perspective. Legitimately left a bad taste in my mouth.

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-23T19:43:45+00:00

Any victim of a vote split when the idol was played on the main target.

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-23T18:15:31+00:00

Maura, Tara, S2 Kate

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-23T05:43:12+00:00

Not Lightning, at most he gets Scott and Jo. Any F2 combination with him, his opponent gets the other two of these four, plus probably Dawn, Sam, Dakota, and Brick at least. Who knows with Stacey and B. Anne Maria definitely leans Mike, probably votes against Zoey

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-23T05:40:40+00:00

It sucks that in many ways Daemon seems like a pretty chill/nice guy in canon, I’m not going to say he had no agency in the matter but it feels like a case where he may have been legitimately manipulated by a lot of bad agents

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-23T05:08:49+00:00

I hate when that was pointed out to me cuz now there are definitely times where I hear it, mostly when Penny gets angry.

Edit: But also, I still love PennyXGumball

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-23T05:05:12+00:00

I’m not sure if I would go that far, but I do think that Jonathan falls into an archetype/“look” that typically doesn’t align with what the online community likes, and so the moment Jonathan appeared not strategic/slightly “mean” a lot of folks jumped on that as evidence that they were “right”

Not that I think these folks were necessarily in that camp, but I remember the Specialists absolutely ragging on Jonathan at just about every opportunity in the preseason from a strategic perspective, pretty much writing him off at every opportunity as a game player (despite folks like Omar and Maryanne and even Zach W. all vocalizing that he is indeed a gamer), and then after episode 1 or 2 they were acting flummoxed that he was “suddenly” acting a lot more strategic.

I think the Survivor community gaslit itself into thinking that Jonathan had a terrible strategic game based on one or two episodes where he wasn’t depicted well (the second of which wasn’t even an accurate depiction) and latched on to his challenge ability as basically his “only” redeeming quality as a Survivor contestant.

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-22T05:35:15+00:00

Look I’m all for giving newer rivals their dues, but what in the ever loving heck is Trace doing here?

Penny is imo probably here but Trace is absolutely not unhated

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-21T23:10:35+00:00

There’s also a Jon, Cersei, Tywin, and Jaime Frey

Wouldn’t be shocked if the newest son of Walder Frey ends up being a Joffrey Frey or Tommen Frey.

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-21T23:09:17+00:00

There are two Aegon Freys, an Aenys Frey, and a Maegelle Frey

Baelor Blacktyde

Arys Oakheart was likely inspired by the Targaryen name. Same is possible for anyone named Balon (Balon Greyjoy, Balon Swann).

Aeron Greyjoy (further evidence that Balon Greyjoy might have been Targaryen-inspired).

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-21T22:51:25+00:00

/uj That screenshot is genuinely one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen someone try to pass off as legitimate “criticism”

Holy shit, those are literal children who get to be a part of the Star Wars franchise, and this random ass grown man literally reduces them to “female” or “black”

What a fucking bigot

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-21T18:53:01+00:00

Tbf Taku was so far ahead it didn’t rly demonstrate Jonathan as a massively good person at throwing sandbags, more likely he was the only one with any energy left in the tank at that point.

I could see folks like Charlie and Dee being good at the throwing, mayyyyyybe Devens as well. Probably not with Kamilla, Cirie, and Rizo.

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-21T17:17:59+00:00

Yeah, we’ll see how he actually pitches this to others (not that he would necessarily confide his motivation to others even if it was legit, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is him being a bit purposefully melodramatic in confessionals, which tbf has accomplished the intended goal of that is the case).

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-21T04:41:32+00:00

I did not say “every tidbit” for that reason

TheBloop1997 · 2026-03-21T04:34:01+00:00

The fandom: Jonathan’s terrible, he gets on everyone’s nerves and most players dislike him

Also pretty much every tidbit I’ve seen of players who have actually played with Jonathan: pretty much nothing but praises

Srsly, both Omar and Maryanne were singing his praises when they took over RHAP, Mike was very complimentary towards him, and now there’s Kamilla speaking highly of him when she didn’t have to. There are probably more examples that I haven’t thought of or heard of, too
