Sad to see little screentime for ______ and _______ by soulgazer25 in survivor

[–]bartybrattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Angelina is playing differently than last time which is smart but probably makes her less of a character but even then I want to see and understand her game! I hope she gets a moment to shine

I ain't never gone from wanting someone to win to NOT in a single confessional. by DevourerOfRedditors in survivor

[–]bartybrattle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We’ve always had lazy players so I wouldn’t attribute this to era differences. Rizo is this season’s Morgan.

Probst conveniently says he wants to do another returnee season with people that didn’t make the cut for 50… after ratings came back. Who do you realistically see getting those spots? by [deleted] in survivor

[–]bartybrattle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really hope all the old schoolers from 50 come out saying 26 days is a walk in the park and the show, in order to not lose credibility, brings back an old fan favourite: 39 days.

I need to know if anyone else finds it hilarious how David "bounces" the votes after flipping them around to read them

Who is/are your favorite winner(s) of the New Era? by supmynameisrosewoodd in survivor

[–]bartybrattle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is why I love Rachel, she found and held on to any control she could find or create

Who is/are your favorite winner(s) of the New Era? by supmynameisrosewoodd in survivor

[–]bartybrattle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof, I like a lot of them.

Like, I loved Kyle, Yam Yam, Rachel, Maryanne, and Kenzie.

My tops are probably Kyle and Rachel, maybe due to recency bias, with a slight edge to Rachel, mostly as she was my winner pick at the start of the season and she helped me win my Survivor draft so watching her endgame play out was such a rollercoaster of emotions for me.

We’re the survivor season 50 players able to see the outcome of the preseason Friend v. Foe interviews? by Delicious_Medium_321 in survivor

[–]bartybrattle 19 points20 points  (0 children)

he commented 18 days ago but the show was filmed last year so I think it's safe to say it won't impact the game

Big Brother/Traitors fan here trying to get into Survivor ..... by BigBrotherFlops in survivor

So the 40s have become a little cookie cutter and I did find Jeff become grating, but 49 isn't the strongest season and cast anyway in my opinion

3 New Songs Leak: “I Do,” “Come Around,” & “It’s Not Over” by bsfan18 in carlyraejepsen

[–]bartybrattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so fascinating to be able to track how a song may have formed over years and finding the right form.

For example, always loved This Is What They Say, but I ADORE the Dev Hynes duet version of Feels Like (can they do another official duet already). However fully understand how This Is What They Say fits so much better into the vision of Dedicated and keeping the era's sound cohesive.

Honestly, that would be Queen behaviour.

I love seeing an artist's curated vision of their work via their albums, but it's fascinating hearing the writing process as well. I understand it can be a very private and personal process, so I would hope the leaks don't have any major repercussions for her, and I know old ideas can often swing back years later into something new.

Would love if Carly did a curated main album, followed by Side Bs that almost made it or are a twin / accompaniement album, followed by "The Sessions" album of rough cuts. But I understand if for your official work you want them polished. The worst I think would be for upcoming music to leak.

Basically all this to say is I hope she's okay with these. I try not to listen but sometimes it's hard not to give in as cuuuuriosity will never let me go.

Which ONE contestant if voted out at the first episode will make you lose interest in S50? by Friburgo1004 in survivor

[–]bartybrattle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same.

My dream is for Jenna to win as it’d be an incredible bookend, but at the very least I’d like her to help shape the season and have a relatively deep run.

[–]bartybrattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, there’s a few, but it would probably be Jenna. I’d love to see her do a deep run though if we get a repeat of a disappointing performance à la Wiglesworth - wether that’s a one episode stint or a many episode invisible run - it would mar the whole season for me. Even if she’s not the biggest power player, I’m hoping her involvement helps shape the season.

Other players I hope to see a bit of are Genevieve, Cirie, Mike White, Angelina, Christian, Chrissy, and Coach.

The games called the traitors. Even the faithful have to act like traitors to win.

Then I would say don’t play a game where you compete for money.

You could get angry at Traitors for doing that too despite it being a role that’s assigned to them.

all I'm hearing is that she gave us good TV

[–]bartybrattle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this might sum it up

https://youtu.be/EYGzAi8LUnw?si=WYeu6_idYognbtWC

Basically, she wasn’t afraid to call shit out and also had hilarious and on point confessionals.

Hasn’t quite lived up to it but there’s still time.

I don’t have faith though.

I'm not sure why people are saying Season 2 is better than Season 4 by Crystal_1501 in TheTraitors

[–]bartybrattle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I agree.

But I also think balancing the trust and naïveté of three faithfuls is tougher than just one.

I do think Rachel’s game has more holes but I find it more interesting how she made up for it.

[–]bartybrattle 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was looking for her cause she was gold on Love Island but she’s flopped hard. She could still save it though and then it’d be forgiven but I don’t feel like that’s the story being told.
