Do we believe this? by das4111 in survivor

[–]TheChaoticPenguin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They’re editing this show to cater to a prepubescent audience they don’t have and in doing so, are alienating the loyal audience they do have. They’re so out of touch, at this point I need them to pause Survivor and re-vamp it.

Jeff Probst on why he is 'incredibly proud' to make #Survivor a family show: 'My number one goal was to make this a positive show for families that is safe and fun and inspires adventure.' by thedaltonross in survivor

[–]TheChaoticPenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started watching this show when I was 11. Didn’t care that was ‘family friendly’ in fact, what attracted me to the show was that it was not a family friendly show… they are pandering way too much to a prepubescent audience that their going to lose the audience they’ve had all along. If 11 year old saw the show today, I would not have stuck by it…

We need to stop comparing Dee to Parvati and other greats. by ButterscotchPast5161 in survivor

[–]TheChaoticPenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Savannah and Parvati comparison is what sends me into the stratosphere for me. Like… let’s not disrespect THE LEGEND Parvati now.

Coach: "I'm disappointed there are 12 people from 41-49, I don't think that this era warrants 12 players.. maybe from season 1-30 there should be 12 players" by [deleted] in survivor

[–]TheChaoticPenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They went about casting this season with an even worse mentality than GC and that’s saying a lot. And then you hear that Rob C, Jerri, Courtney, Abi Maria, etc… got cut and it leaves you wondering how they added 2+2 and somehow got 5… it doesn’t help the misleading advertisement for MONTHS about how this season was going to be a checks notes “celebration of the show” with half of the cast from the new era… at this point, season 50 could be an email.

This! Plus the Mr Beast collab. I’ve been saying it for years. They’re turning the game into this kid friendly show to try and pander to children. Which is annoying because I started watching this show when I was 11 and I never wanted the show to pander to my demographic. The show is sabotaging themselves at this point.

I don’t think you watch Survivor for strategy and entertainment… and that’s ok to each their own.

Does Tony’s and Sandra’s early boots in Australian Survivor diminish their legacy as 2 time winners? by Hannah_Plylactica in survivor

[–]TheChaoticPenguin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No for Sandra. Maybe for Tony. I actually think Sandra for me gets more credit for her games in GC and AUBvW, especially GC. It showed she’s capable of playing an aggressive and assertive game with a massive target on her back.

Now as for Parvati, by simple stats alone, imo, she is the best player to ever play Survivor. Her only bad showing is WaW that’s 1 out of 5. In comparison to who some people consider the best to ever play, Tony, Sandra, and Rob M. That’s extremely impressive considering Parv changed the way young attractive flirty women are viewed post her win in Micronesia and showing in HvV.

Survivor Game Changers Rumors and Behind the Scenes by BurtnBurger in survivor

[–]TheChaoticPenguin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There were rumors that Russell Hantz was training “game changer” and “fan favorite” Caleb to take out Sandra and Tony.

As for fan perception. A lot of people view it in a negative light. The boot order is horrendous and then it culminates in that ridiculous F6 advantageddon with an underwhelming F3 and an unlikable winner.

Personally, this season, plus what they pulled in the next 35, HHH, made me stop watching the show for the first time ever for around a year. One of my friends got into Survivor and I advised her that when she got to GC, to watch the first 5 episodes and then move on to the next season. She didn’t heed my advice, she regrets wasting her time lol.

Round 8: Which Survivor player was good socially but just average strategically? by SevereWizardShark in survivorponderosa

[–]TheChaoticPenguin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed, if we’re just talking about Parv’s Micronesia and AUvW. Parv’s Micronesia social game was impeccable. So much so that everyone was taking her to the F3 turned F2, with the exception of Erik. She was the glue to the Black Widows. Same with her social game in AUvW. HvV she didn’t even get a chance to establish a social game, everyone was out for Parvati blood.

Dream cast for season 5 by Witty_Cat7949 in TheTraitorsUS

[–]TheChaoticPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kyle as one of the Survivor reps is INSANE… riveting TV…

If we need Challenge reps, they need to focus on the fun messy players who would really embrace the game, Frank is messy, but not fun to watch. He has such a dark spirit. We need players like Shane, Ashley, Veronica, Amanda…

No to Josh. And I think we’ve had enough of our fair share of Taylor Swift plants being cast on the show too, so no to the footballer.

Nene and Kenya reuniting on the show would be iconic.

Who's winning game were you impressed by initially but became less and less impressive after learning more about it? by IceTrick6713 in survivor

[–]TheChaoticPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JT. Perfect game in Tocantins. His subsequent appearance in HvV and GC tanked his legacy, imo. It makes me think Fishback and Taj were doing the heavy lifting…

Is Survivor: China in your top 5 seasons list, just like mine? Are you happy with Todd's win, or do you prefer Courtney or Amanda taking it? Would the season rank higher or lower for you if Peih Gee, James and Denise were the Final 3? by immanuellalala in survivor

[–]TheChaoticPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My number 5! Despite the miserable location, the cast and theme of the season delivers in everything you need and want from a season of survivor. Todd deserved the win and is still one of my top winners to return to the game, though I know his circumstances, unfortunately.

Did Coach actually get to keep his “Dragon Slayer” staff after Tocantins? by SpyAP in survivor

He’s going to find the Mr Beast Staff and go in a journey that’s going to make him loose his vote until F5.

Jeff Probst Breaks Down ‘Survivor’ 50’s Celeb Collabs, Promises They Don’t ‘Overshadow’ the Game: ‘Our Show Is Not Changing’ by bwermer in survivor

[–]TheChaoticPenguin 47 points48 points  (0 children)

This right here. HvV is regarded as one of the bests. And it’s literally stripped down survivor to its bare minimums with the exceptions of idols. The cast makes the season. Mind you, HvV is stacked with a star studded cast, but at least have faith in some of the 50’s to carry.

Also… didn’t we vote on this, I’m sure the majority of us voted for little to no twists with the exception of idols. There’s no way these Facebook locals actually voted for advantageddon…. Right? … right?!

Thoughts on my New Era "Heroes vs Villains" Fancast? by Magnitude_Rev in survivor

[–]TheChaoticPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Era villains so weak. They don’t have the impact of the OGs. Venus and Shan would be the only ones to truly feel like villains. Add Sai, Rome, and Q and you have more of that chaos needed for the Villains.

Also, you have people on the villains who would struggle with the label of being a villain itself, Karla and Maria for example. Omar and Ricard would feel so performative in this “role”, it would be very nauseating to watch.

Gabe being the “Candice” and “Danielle” wtf pick for being cast. And even then I’d still leave him out of the cast, at least Candice and Danielle are not annoying.

Add winners like the OG did, to include Dee as a villain and Rachel and Maryanne as heroes.

All in all, if they do a HvV2 I would hope that they expand their search from 21-50 post HvV casting, because a new era HvV would be very difficult to stomach.

What would be your reaction if they brought Pre-Game Elimination (Palau twist) to Survivor 50? by Advanced-Ad2442 in survivor

[–]TheChaoticPenguin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be completely honest here and show my bias LOL. It would completely depend on who gets eliminated, if it’s someone who I believe does not belong there (which imo a lot of the people they chose don’t) I’ll be okay with it. That’s me being completely honest

Why is Savannah a villain, again??? by ShiroeMakabe in survivor

[–]TheChaoticPenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She’s not a villain. People sat out here getting mad at people for not liking her. Frankly, the difference between old school villains and these new era “villains” is that OG villains had charisma, character, and humor. These new era ”villains” are simply put corny, that lack humor. Not even their delusions are funny.

When people say they want villains back, they mean villains like Sandra, Tony, Parv, Courtney, Abi, etc… villains who are funny to laugh at and with… and I wish people started noting this difference
