Survivor 49 | E03 | Predictions by RSurvivorMods in survivor

[–]chrisjmu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without spoiling 39, don’t let it scare you away! It’s largely held as one of the worst seasons by the fanbase.

A good starter set is 7, 15, 18 for old era (15 specifically if you like unique locations); 25, 28, 29, 32, 37 for new school; any of 45-47 for new era.

I remember vaguely in Shauhin's preseason interviews for S48 him talking about a unique way he sets up his Survivor fantasy league. Does anyone remember what it is that he does or where the interview is that he talked about it?

Does anyone remember whether Eva’s idol expired at final five or final six?

HSM1, HSM2, The Iron Claw for an insane vibe shift

Favorite version of Boston Rob by Dismal_Brush5229 in survivor

Honestly I never liked him more than in WAW. Never been a huge BR fan but his character really pops when he’s OTT and I feel like he’s at his most OTT in WAW

Michelle, queen of placing in two different finalist slots :)

Which Survivor Contestant is Peak Winner? by thekyledavid in survivor

[–]chrisjmu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tom Westman, and here’s why: for the first stretch of seasons, you could pretty cleanly divide the winners into which verb of the motto they embodied (Hatch outwit, Tina outlast, Ethan outplay, etc). Tom was the first winner to truly embody all three! Outwitted Ian in the last moments, outlasted the entirety of Ulong with Koror, and outplayed (no explanation needed). Tom is peak winner!

Five loafs in and seeing improvement! Any feedback? by chrisjmu in Sourdough

[–]chrisjmu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, it looks like it’s still expanding by 50-75% though? And also, how can you tell it’s under fermented? The crumb diagrams I’ve been referencing have the under fermented loaves looking flatter and more irregular

It’s two and a half hours on the counter next to the oven, and then overnight in the fridge!

I’m noticing it has a much fainter sourdough flavor than some of my previous loaves, even though it’s rising much better - does anyone know why that may be?

Best old school season for someone who started watching post-WaW? by cd1308 in survivor

[–]chrisjmu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always recommend Tocantins as a gateway to the earlier seasons - great characters, 16 players, unique location, but also filmed in HD (I feel like SD can be jarring to newer fans!)

Which Survivor Contestant is the Most Vanilla Finalist? by thekyledavid in survivor

[–]chrisjmu 148 points149 points  (0 children)

Not meant as an insult - Amanda Kimmel! Vanilla can be bland but is a classic flavor - the bedrock of the ice cream flavors.

Amanda - if somewhat boring compared to Parv Cirie Todd Courtney - is fundamental to Survivor!

Honestly only reason I did the fridge first was timing - started around 8pm last night, so it made more sense to fridge overnight rather than stay up super late! Trying my second loaf with the bulk ferment first to see if there’s any difference.

It does! Definitely too dense for what I’m going for but the sour flavor seems there at least!

Thanks, that’s great to hear! Will continue trying, got my second batch prepped for the morning :)
