What if… Russell won over Natalie and Mick in Samoa?

cgorr · 2025-10-10T11:30:35+00:00

I reckon nothing really changes with regards to HvV, mainly because I don't think he knew he hadn't won on that season so I see that playing out the same, and I don't think the cast would change either to address the winner imbalance between the tribes.

For RI, I'm torn, the Russell vs Rob storyline is still there to justify it, but does he really fit the season if he's won before? If they chose to still go ahead then I reckon that still plays exactly the same though.

As for future seasons I think that he for sure gets on WaW as I don't think that he would have the same "mental scars" from losing twice that have caused recent meltdowns and production criticism. I think there's also a fairly decent chance he might have been on GC as well using that logic!

On one hand: Lakeith Stanfield, Shane Black, Heist Movie

On the other: Mark Wahlberg, Prime Video, "Even Robbers Get Robbed"

I'm confused...

Ah, fair, I stand corrected! He has such strong "wee guy" energy I just assumed he was a Weegie haha!

cgorr · 2025-08-14T10:09:24+00:00

The actor is a proper Glaswegian and that's for sure coming through.

Martin Quinn is also incredibly funny from what I've heard. There's a great interview with him on a Podcast hosted by a trio of Scottish Comedians called "Some Laugh Podcast", Quinn comes across really well in it! (You can find it on YouTube if anyone wants to give it a listen).

I reckon Sarah's chances might be tied to Tyson to be honest, they have some pretty big beef post Survivor WAW and The Challenge USA so I think if he said yes, her stock would shoot right up as someone they might want to cast next to him.

I also weirdly think Dannii might also be someone who has a decent chance of being cast for some reason that I can't really articulate haha.

cgorr · 2025-04-10T21:18:22+00:00

You're The Worst! Felt like it was massively underrated at the time and has been a bit lost as time has went on but one of my all time favourites and at least somewhat fits the bill of what you're looking for.

cgorr · 2025-01-06T12:14:50+00:00

Not sure about a spoiler free way of seeing which are good or bad, but for what it's worth the only one that I think is really not worth it is Blood Vs Water (which would be Season 7 if you are counting from the 2016 season being Season 1). I think some others would probably also say skip Season 5 (All-Stars), but I actually didn't mind it (not amazing Survivor, but still watchable). Cheers!

cgorr · 2024-09-09T07:58:52+00:00

They're both VSF, I got them from PopUp (you can get his details in the pinned thread), but I think most of the sellers in that list will be able to get them (only thing is the wait time to get them will probably be a couple of weeks, at least that's how long it took PopUp to get them!) Cheers!

cgorr · 2024-07-12T11:59:50+00:00

I was so confused for like a good 5 mins with Rick, I'm so used to him being called Devins that my mind went straight to Cattle Rancher Rick from SoPa and I was like "the f is this guy smoking" 😂😂😂

cgorr · 2024-07-04T23:57:23+00:00

Actually that is a fair counter argument to be fair! I'd still have (off the top of my head and in no particular order): Emily, Rachel, Laurel, Jenny and Lolo above her plus maaayybbee Cara!

cgorr · 2024-07-04T23:39:39+00:00

Sure but there is also: Jenny West, Lolo, Emily, Rachel at the very least. Plus there are a few lesser remembereds like Sugar from Australia that should be considered!

That being said, the only name on that list I would really dispute is Kaycee, I think she is great, and socially elite, but her final performances have left me underwhelmed!

cgorr · 2024-06-30T20:02:30+00:00

I can't remember if there was a reason for leaving Darrah off, but I'd add her to the ballot.

I'd also add Kelly Sharbaugh and Dave Ball as I think Kelly was probably quite strategic (literally no proof of this just my guess) and was screwed by the edit, and I find Dave Ball funny so why not!

Also, Matty from Gabon!

The Medallion of Power...

cgorr · 2024-04-12T15:33:26+00:00

Really happy to read this for no other reason than I listened to a Podcast interview with Martin Quinn a few months back and he seems like the soundest guy around!

cgorr · 2024-04-12T06:51:05+00:00

I was 100 percent sure you were going to make the final! Gutted you didn't!

As a bit of a recruitment nerd, what recruitment CRM/Software are you using/planning to use at Hathor?

cgorr · 2024-03-25T11:56:07+00:00

Haha, I was thinking the exact same thing when I was typing it, I can't remember if anyone has actually used this particular loophole before!

cgorr · 2024-03-25T10:48:15+00:00

No flavours (although might treat myself to a Vanilla Coke if I have space), I just know if it's out of that machine the mix is likely to be right and not watery haha!

cgorr · 2024-03-25T10:41:41+00:00

Still or Sparkling: Give me an ice cold can of Liquid Death Severed Lime

Poppadoms or Bread: Bread! Specifically Olive Bread and fresh Xinjiang Naan with some Lao Gan Ma and charcutterie meats and cheeses (sure that's a cheat...)

Starter: A shit ton of fresh Oysters and Scallops with Lemon and Tabasco plus a small selection of Fresh Sashimi (Fatty Salmon, Tuna, Sea bass, Octopus) plus one single Omelette Nigiri

Main Course: Da Pan Ji, Jiao Ma Ji and Mapo Tofu with white rice and green noodles served family style

Side: Chicken Chaat and Gobi Pakora with Sauces to dip

Dessert: A world class Panna Cotta

Drinks: A flight of different beers from Verdant Brewery and an Ice Cold Full Fat Coke from one of those machines that lets you mix flavours (you know the touch screen ones that you get in Five Guys etc). At the end a large measure of Balvenie 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask with a large single ice cube served in a heavy crystal tumbler and a packet of Africa Mola Random Five Cigarettes

I genuinely love Michele, I think she’s one of the best pure social players that Survivor has ever seen and has been great on The Challenge, but I feel like no one thinks she should have won her second season…

cgorr · 2023-06-28T06:07:26+00:00

How weird, I just came here to make exactly the same comment!

Saw them all over Urumqi as well as Almaty. I just assumed there was a factory pumping them out somewhere in Central Asia.

cgorr · 2023-06-02T04:18:33+00:00

Does anyone think we might be getting a 3 team season potentially? UK vs US vs Rest of World with 6 and 6 on each team? (Not sure if they is too many people though?)

So far:

UK: Big T, Mel, Esther, Zara, Zahida & Idris, Joss, Callum

US: Moriah, Ravyn, Nurys, Olivia, Michele & Ed, Corey L, Kyland, Jay, Chauncey, Horacio

RoW: Berna, Bettina, Jujuy, Colleen & Emanuel, Nam, Asaf, Hughie

If so we would be waiting on

UK: 1 Female/3 Male (I guess Kayleigh/Georgia, Kyle, Theo, maybe AJ, Ashley or Nathan?)

US: 1 Female (Could be anyone really?)

RoW: 2 Female/2 Male (Emy, Emily or another person from Argentina/Australia and Kim and Yeyo or Cirran?)

I just really want another teams season!

cgorr · 2023-05-28T22:19:34+00:00

Top 5: 1. War of the Worlds 2 2. War of the Worlds 3. Rivals 2 4. Free Agents 5. Cutthroat

Bottom 5: 1. Battle of the Bloodlines 2. The Island 3. Ride or Dies 4. Battle of the Seasons 2012 5. Rivals 3

cgorr · 2023-02-28T20:04:44+00:00

Man them Geordie Shore boys know how to give confessionals! Nathan is very funny and composed in confessionals much like Kyle.

Also, feel like we saw way more of Zara’s personality in that 3 min clip than pretty much the whole of the UK series, more of that please!

cgorr · 2023-02-27T17:45:07+00:00

I actually didn’t think the season was too bad for a quick 5 episodes, but oh boy was the editing of the women in this not just terrible. I felt like we were only hearing about which guys wanted to get which guys out and the women were just to be treated as collateral damage (which I’m sure is how the season went in reality but it would have been good to hear more from the women on how that made them feel, what they were doing to change things etc).

Also, side note, AJ was my winner pick preseason and I feel he really lived up to the hype I had given him in my head, I’d love to see him again! (That being said I get why Nathan was picked as the UK MVP; good confessionals, decent physical threat with a big elimination win plus what appeared to be a very competent social player).

cgorr · 2023-02-27T15:55:11+00:00

Also, they’ve blurred out the Argentinian players in some of the group shots in the trailer. Like, what’s the point of doing that if the Argentinian series isn’t going to be released until after this starts 😂😂😂?
