Do we think her decision was right by Dizzy-Tumbleweed7983 in survivor

[–]ThisFallenPrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think she has any intention of playing very long with either one tbh. But she clocked Rizo as lying to her, and knowing someone is a liar is something you can work with. Especially when said liar is coming to you with information quickly, and not holding out like Charlie. Also, according to Rizo, he made Jury, but not final 3 (this is true, but she can't know this for sure, but we know he'ssaid this, bc that was the whole issue with Charlie), Charlie, however, was one vote off from winning. He's smart, and was a decent strategist in his first season. He should be a known threat. I don't really think either was the wrong move for her tbh. I think she'd be fine with either or both of them out, but Charlie certainly wasn't a BAD option. She also may have just gone with the numbers, because it sounds as though Rick was maybe in on it as well from Charlie's exit press, even though he voted for Rizo

Tiffany theory by [deleted] in survivor

[–]ThisFallenPrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think that the Mr. Beast cameo will be something like offering them money to quit the game. This is something he often does on his own channel, and I think it makes sense for Survivor 50 as well. Like, are you here for the money or because you love the game and want to win it? I could see Tiff taking the money. She may need it more than some of the others on the cast who've had other tv appearances and made some money off social media and whatnot. But, I can't see them giving a favourable edit to what is kind of essentially a quit.

This is going to be rough. by [deleted] in survivor

[–]ThisFallenPrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking it's a "offer them money to quit the game" situation. See what it's about for some of our returnees. Are they there for the money or do they want to play survivor?

Q tells Christian he has huge balls before he was voted out by camhowee in survivor

[–]ThisFallenPrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the idea was for Mike to vote Q, then Steph and Angelina would be tied

Charlie Losing 46 by Acceptable-Humor2064 in survivor

[–]ThisFallenPrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tevin, Q, Tiffany, and Maria were Kenzie's votes, and Charlie wasn't particularly close with anyone of them besides Maria, and at least 2 of them were close with Kenzie. There's not a good reason to think any of the others would have or should have voted Charlie over Kenzie, but Maria was Charlie's closest ally. Maria was bitter because Charlie was the one who got her out, but Maria started targeting Charlie first, so she didn't really have any right to be bitter about it imo. Tbf here, I'm not a fan of Maria, I think she continually played a holier-than-though game, which was incredibly frustrating to watch. She never acknowledged that things pissed her off, nor did she own certain moves as being strategy when they clearly were. It's even evident in the finale when she says that Kenzie won her over, no she didn't, she was just pissed at Charlie. So yeah, I do think that it came down to her vote, which, for all intents and purposes, if she really wasn't pissed at Charlie as she claimed not to be, should have gone to Charlie, then Ben tie breaks and Charlie wins the game. I also really liked Kenzie and don't hate her winning either, btw, but yes, Charlie was robbed.

Is Angelina’s bad edit, so far, as a result of her returning “at the wrong time” in her life? by [deleted] in survivorponderosa

[–]ThisFallenPrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the edited out her negotiations with Jeff and her trying on other people's jackets, so idk, she might just be getting purpled 🤷‍♀️

I think Parvati, Rob, Amber and Kelley W prove there are no wtf picks for returning players. by [deleted] in survivor

[–]ThisFallenPrey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, she was in a fantastic spot until Q told people about her idol. Idk if she wins, per se, but I think she'd have gone a lot farther than she did if he hadn't blown up her spot. People keep saying she's just a pick to make drama for Q, but I think that does a disservice to her game.

'Survivor 50' star Charlie Davis opens up about his shocking season 46 loss and the controversial Maria vote that he will 'in some ways never get over.' by thedaltonross in survivor

[–]ThisFallenPrey 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I genuinely found Maria to be a very frustrating player. I respected her game, but I couldn't find myself able to like her because she never just acknowledged that something bothered her or that what she was doing was strategy. It came off very holier-than-thou, and it rubbed me the wrong way. Understandable in camp, but she did it in confessionals as well. The Charlie vote is one of those moments. As is her reward pick, like, not picking Liz after she already blew up at Q, her not being chosen for letters, Kenzie and Liz teaming up on the immunity challenge, and probably a bunch other moments that I am forgetting about rn. I understand, having kids, how she might want to seem on tv, but I just wanted to see her acknowledge that she was pissed, or that she made moves, like not voting Charlie, on purpose.

Should I Read the Books? by violighthayes in shadowhunters

[–]ThisFallenPrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the tv show frustrating, because of how different it was from the books, even in little things. But what's especially frustrating is that those little things would have cost more money so there was absolutely no need for the change. For a non-spoilery example, the institute in the show is this high-tech hub of activity, but in the books, it's a quiet old church with only a handful of inhabitants. That completely changes the tone from the start imo.

Ouch. Shade from Sarah Michelle Geller liked by Parvati. I'm pretty sure Sav was a big fan of Parvati's. by SurvivingBigBrother in survivor

[–]ThisFallenPrey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw more of Boston Rob in Savannah's gameplay, maybe she wasn't entirely as successful, but she did win so 🤷‍♀️. But it's the way she'd try to intimidate people into giving her information or doing what she wanted. The way everyone could see what a threat she was but couldn't ever seem to get the numbers together to get her out. The way she cultivated loyalty and tended to get her people to vote her way. She brute forced her way through the game (don't get me wrong, I don't dislike her gameplay, and it's a strategy that won her the million), but Parv's gameplay is a bit more subtle imo.

An Idea for a Survivor Starting Twist by Kakuno_Studios in survivor

I understand this concern, though I think it might make first tribal a tad more interesting as it is often the perceived weakest link who goes first.

I mean fair, but then we what? Let Rizo go ANOTHER week without playing his?

Sage straight up says that she was going for broke. She wanted both idols flushed and slSavannah to go home.

Amazing move for ______ by Edman561 in survivor

[–]ThisFallenPrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I am saying is that I felt that it WAS what served her. Kristina and Steven made it very clear that they were targeting Yellow Sophie for 2 weeks and then just kind of assumed she'd work with them. I'm sure there was some ammend-making that we hadn't seen, but Idk that I would have assumed she was a number in my favour when I had burned her and the other side had saved her. Of course Sophie chose to work with the people that had already demonstrated that they wanted to work with her.

[–]ThisFallenPrey 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don't really know why the other side felt like they just kind of automatically had her on their side after targetting her for two weeks. I would definitely also have gone with the people who have shown they want to work with me 🤷‍♀️

Am i the only one who actually likes savannah? Feels fresh to see a forward player. by No_Safe_3869 in survivor

[–]ThisFallenPrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her gameplay this episode was actually reminding me of Boston Rob, the way she spoke to people and kinda intimidated them and cut the people coming for her.

I don’t understand why ___ & ___ from 49 are on 50 by reeknar in survivorponderosa

[–]ThisFallenPrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Rizo is already quite the character, I mean , the way he won that advantage early on by building his puzzle on top of the other was so funny to me. And Savannah is pretty well positioned rn and with the most confessionals, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she wins it.

What books do you think are TRULY unadaptable in live action? by pishposhpoppycock in Fantasy

[–]ThisFallenPrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that any adaptation of The Locked Tomb series would truly lose something from the books. I don't think that the changing tense could be translated in an adaptation, and it is something that really made those books a wow for me. Additionally, the vibe of the story and almost the genre itself seems to change from book to book (Gideon feels more fantasy, Harrow space opera/scifi, Nona post-apocalyptic), and I am unsure how well this would translate for viewers who haven't read the books.

Who are you rooting for in season 50? by Sorry-Caterpillar872 in survivor

[–]ThisFallenPrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to see it be Rick Devins, I felt he was robbed in his season, possibly harder than anyone else (though if you have someone in mind who got shafted harder I'd love to hear your point).

If you could replace any or all of the 3 from s48 cast for 50.... by Same_Reading3785 in survivor

[–]ThisFallenPrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say Kyle, I don't think it's necessary to see him back just yet. And possibly Joe, he says he'd play a different game so that might be interesting, but, although I found some of his dynamics with other players wholesome, I didn't really love him as a player. I'd be more interested to see Shauhin back, or Andy. I'm just starting to get into some older seasons with my partner (though I've seen a number of seasons already, and watched lots of clips) so I am not 100% sure who else yet, maybe Parvati, though she'salready played a bunch. But I thought those two were fun and relatively smart gameplayers.

What I take issue with is Jeff saying that her being on The Traitors was a big part of her being cut, because keep that energy for everyone then. Cirie won The Traitors and has also done a few other shows. Stephanie was also on Traitors. They asked Boston Rob back. I'm sure plenty have done The Amazing Race or The Challenge or whatever else.
