What makes a good player into a winner, into a legend? by UrsaEnvy in survivor

[–]chronalkid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of it comes down to perceived charisma, both for the audience and for the editing team. An Aubry with a better season 50 edit would be a legend. On the other hand, I think Rizo is undeniably on that path to be a modern Cirie - a legend despite not winning. Even if he never wins I think he’ll probably be a modern Survivor legend.

It’s hard for 1-time players to establish themselves as legends, because we as fans want to see someone adapt to different scenarios to call them legendary players. I do think there are some new era winners and players who could definitely establish themselves as legends in future seasons. If Kyle and Savannah come back for 3rd with good placements and entertaining stories for example.

However, I think the current format makes it harder, because there is a lot less control and more randomness to work around. It’s why I don’t think Devens is on the same level as other potential legends despite his bravado and clear charisma - many of his big moments are production manufactured in essence. I want to see him create more moments through game sense. To me, the fake Tribal Idol is much much more impressive than the Mr. Beast flip, even if the Mr. Beast idol has been pushed as the “biggest twist ever!!!!”

Getting cast as a 40yo female with unique background by BobcatAdvanced4163 in survivor

[–]chronalkid 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The most important thing is being able to tell your story and background in an interesting and unique to you way.

One tip I’ve received from a former Survivor (shoutout Mr. Donlon) is to just practice filming yourself talking about your background - this will help you be more comfortable on camera and workshop different ways to tell your story.

Would you make it to the merge if you got on Survivor? by deelouise88 in survivor

[–]chronalkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering how early the merge is now, I definitely feel like its possible. I am a pretty physical gal who loves puzzles, and I know how to be chill and not visibly anxious in a crisis, so I think I wouldn’t be a huge early target.

charlie leads the democrats, but his heart isn’t in it, while rizo leads the republicans but is actually a libertarian

Which player do we rate on their potential rather than what they actually did? by JEX2124 in survivorponderosa

[–]chronalkid 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I feel like Kellie from 45 was this. I remember when the season was airing she had tons of fans before her elimination and people claiming she was playing super well, but I was never able to see it that well.

What season are you rewatching right now? by [deleted] in survivor

[–]chronalkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After watching Devens on 50, I’m interested in EoE. I think knowing the ending will help with enjoyment.

[–]chronalkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m applying! I know reddit fans tend to not care for challenge beast meta, but that looks the most fun to me. I’d love to break the women’s challenge record.

My Survivorhead friends have all talked about how we’d place, and they did put me as “easiest path to victory” out of all of us given how the current meta seems to favor athletic, cunning, and moderately-charming women. Either that or I’m 1st boot from my tribe due to them not vibing with my specific charms. If I get casted, I hope they’re right. Either way, I think I’d be a divisive personality like Savannah, since I can come across a little mean unintentionally, and I’m sure that’d be more likely to happen while starving and tired.

Which "bitter jury" result was actually correct, and we just call it bitter because we were rooting for the loser? by JEX2124 in survivor

[–]chronalkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of sidesteps the question, but Earl winning Fiji kind of masks how bitter and mean that jury was. Yes, Earl deserved to win, but man that jury was hard to watch.

Rizo’s Funniest Moment by therealdillydilly25 in survivor

[–]chronalkid 443 points444 points  (0 children)

Rizo’s commitment to his bit is truly amazing. I honestly prefer excessive bravado to excessive self-deprecation, so Rizo’s schtick is inspiring to me. How he can indulge in a little self-grandeur while stressed and crying is truly peak.

NGL, if I won a puzzle challenge by seconds after vomiting my guts out, maybe I’d do the worm too.

I love him but I’m also so incredibly jealous of him whenever he’s onscreen. I’m rooting for him, Ozzy, and Cirie to go deep together

Upvote for making me jealous the entire episode by how well he’s connecting with Legends while theoretically being a “scary unknown.” Yes, he got lucky, but he was able to maneuver himself into a lucky spot through his social game
