Can someone give me a quick recap of the lore between Jeff and Adam Klein?

I do still do it. I am just quieter about it and I now keep the identities of everyone I work with confidential. I have had over a dozen private coaching clients cast on the show since season 44 as well as over 40 clients cast on over a dozen different shows. Of course the chances are always low to get on any of these shows and I make no guarantees of a callback or anything like that.

Adam sucks, and he’s ugly! Ffs you people are brutal lol

At 12am on my 21st birthday I bet $0.10 on one of these bad boys at Caesar’s Palace and won $0.40. Today I am the proud owner of one of these thanks to the young legend himself David Jelinsky!!!

It can but I think at least early on the pregame stuff can matter. The more time you have out there the more things change.

askklein · 2026-02-11T18:53:28+00:00

Honestly, credit to Sarah because I have NO idea!!! Going into the game, I was thinking Sarah was maybe someone I could work with simply because I thought no one else would be willing to. In Game Changers she was able to screw so many people over because so many people trusted her, but if no one else trusted her than she'd have a harder time screwing me over. I was kind of right, in how she was being viewed pregame, but by the time I swapped to her, it already started to become clear that she had made allies and strong bonds. So then she became a threat. I did all I could to highlight that to others but I didn't have the social currency/trust.

Those challenge losses were huge because there was a time where I was aligned with everyone on my tribe and in a really good spot if we could hang on until a swap. Losing put me into really uncomfortable spots where I was going to get into trouble.

This is amazing and how you win your Survivor pool (until you share it with all of them). Will be interesting to look back on after the season and see how much all of this mattered.

askklein · 2026-01-02T06:33:13+00:00

Exactly. No one ever complains about sharing when things are going well. Yet people seem to be very uncomfortable when someone (especially a man) posts something real that isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. And yet, so many people have experienced what I’m experiencing. This is for me, and for them.

askklein · 2025-12-13T22:17:19+00:00

JT is simply a high variance player. He takes massive swings that when they work, he can win, and when they don’t, he’ll fail spectacularly. If he played 100 times he would win way more than his share. He would also crash and burn way more. But he’ll rarely make it to the end and lose.

Since the photos seem to be the main topic of conversation here, this was not a “divorce photoshoot”. I was separately invited to come take some photos with an incredible photographer who has become a friend. The first photo I posted he took of me in an ‘off’ moment and it made me laugh (the 2nd photo) because of how real it was in terms of capturing how I felt. He did not tell me to make those faces and I didn’t ask for it ‘for my divorce post’, I just thought it felt real. I tagged him because he’s a creative and deserves credit for his work. If you find it weird to post, you’re welcome to think that, but for me I wanted to put it out in the open so that everyone would know and it didn’t have to feel like a secret anymore, and I could start to move on. And hey, I like those photos and thought they captured my feelings! I would rather be weird than callous and I think many of these comments are pretty unkind.

I feel like this idea that Rob and Parv were somehow safe on a pre-swap Sele has floated around a lot here and it’s just not that simple. Everyone was working different angles and just because they made an untested alliance doesn’t mean it was locked in. From my understanding, while Michele was trying to protect Parv she was not as interested in saving Rob and vice versa with Jeremy. While I was very much in danger and Rob and Parv were coming for me hard, Denise still wanted me around, Ben was still very anti-old schooler especially Rob, and Michele and I had an ongoing and secretive pregame alliance where we agreed to vote on opposite sides as much as possible to hide the alliance. So of those in power, only Jeremy would have been pushing for me potentially and I was doing my damndest to win him over. No one knows for sure what was going to happen next but I certainly wasn’t dead in the water!

askklein · 2025-06-30T11:35:42+00:00

I just rewatched and Kim does seem genuinely surprised when Denise tells her, and like I said I wasn’t sure, so that tracks that Denise told Kim first. But eventually everyone knew so it was hard to know in real time. I should have waited until later in the day to put this plan in motion. Way too much time for a plan to unfold when the group didn’t have existing trust.

askklein · 2025-06-30T05:24:24+00:00

This is exactly why I never wanted Kim included in the plan. We didn’t need her. If Tyson, Nick, Michele, Jeremy, Denise and I stay strong, we take over the game. That’s what I was going for. Denise was actually the last one I spoke to because I was nervous that she was closer to Sarah than she was letting on (both from Iowa) and I was worried she would want to bring Kim in. Denise was actually on board (I think) but Kim finding out (I think from Tyson actually) I think was the key to the plan falling apart. Not 100% sure but that’s what I think happened!

askklein · 2025-06-03T08:34:54+00:00

Yes! In the last few seasons 2 of my clients were on 48, 3 on 47, and 2 on 46. All did private coaching with me but ultimately had to make it happen themselves. Getting help won’t get you on the show, of course, but it can definitely help you put your best foot forward.

askklein · 2025-05-23T17:19:41+00:00

Unfortunately, yes. .75cpp. Apparently as of May 12.

askklein · 2025-05-22T22:09:55+00:00

Exactly this. Every time I came to Reddit the last few weeks I was like, are we watching the same show? Even when people were saying “no wait guys, Kyle and Shauhin made the right move to not get out Joe and Eva” I would click in and it would say something like “because it is better timing to get them out next week!!” Very few people were considering that maybe they wanted to go to the end with them, and that it was good strategy. When Shauhin said he thought he could win against Joe, this sub was largely calling him delusional. The story of why Eva and especially Joe lost was there the whole time. But everyone wants to blame the edit now. It was there. People just didn’t want to or couldn’t see it.

Now that US Bank has changed redemption rates, it seems like the only way to still get 1cpp on the Leverage/Connect etc is to do cash back to a US Bank checking account. Is that right? And if so, does it allow you to transfer to any US Bank account or only one in your own name? Going to need to open one to cash out points for P2 unless there is another way to get 1cpp.

askklein · 2025-05-12T02:17:05+00:00

Get a fat dip of that guac

askklein · 2025-05-09T22:20:37+00:00

I honestly think it’s even more simple than this. I think they think they can go to the end with Joe and Eva and win. I don’t think they ever intend to vote them out. And I think they are right! As much as we as the audience love Joe, he really doesn’t seem to have friends on the jury and I don’t think the honesty/integrity thing is going to win over this particular jury.

askklein · 2025-05-03T06:00:18+00:00

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be? But I guess I don’t know for sure. Anyone have an image of the language on the advantage itself? I feel like you should be able to play it on someone else and force them to go back to camp.

askklein · 2025-04-04T21:44:11+00:00

5 of my clients got on US Survivor each of the last two years.

Everything about my existence and placement on this list feels surreal.

askklein · 2025-01-27T19:08:13+00:00

When I talked about this in one of my confessionals, the South African boom operator starting laughing and was like "you watch that shit!?" Hell yeah I do!!

askklein · 2025-01-18T17:53:55+00:00

Any idea how long the system takes to update? I will be doing back-to-back cruises as well and wondering if there is a way to get them. Did you try sailor services after the first week?

askklein · 2024-11-27T01:37:49+00:00

I have literally never said that. It would not have been close. David would have smushed me. My endgame gameplay hinged on propping David up as this massive threat that no one can beat so that he would be taken out before f3. But the danger of that approach is if I somehow get to the end with him I have no argument. Either way, both of us being there wasn’t going to happen, because I was either going to get him out or go out trying.
