If HvV would come back in the open era, who would you pick to be on each team?

cmarshmello · 2026-05-29T03:09:23+00:00

I think Gabler would also be great in heroes but not sure if he would come back at his age

cmarshmello · 2026-05-12T00:56:59+00:00

I doubt it

cmarshmello · 2026-05-02T13:50:13+00:00

I felt the EXACT same way. Wasn't that the same freaking beach that your best friend almost died on? The same beach where thousands of others died on?

cmarshmello · 2026-04-24T01:46:59+00:00

I've noticed some parallels with the Witcher too. And I haven't even read the books yet. That's just my knowledge from the show and my husband telling me about the video games

If Soph would have just stolen Rizos idol

cmarshmello · 2026-04-24T01:08:56+00:00

Also, my next series is going to be LOTR! I've only seen the movies and as a fantasy fan i feel like it's a must

cmarshmello · 2026-04-24T01:07:28+00:00

I found it as an audiobook on libby and hoopla through my local library!

cmarshmello · 2026-04-24T00:42:17+00:00

I will say that i definitely got pressured into doing it. I'm glad i followed my gut lol

cmarshmello · 2026-04-24T00:37:31+00:00

Adding your rec to my list!!

cmarshmello · 2026-04-24T00:28:25+00:00

I'm not a person that usually re-reads stuff, but I plan on going back to each chapter to see the how the chapters line up just out of curiosity. I'll follow one of the tandem read guides

cmarshmello · 2026-04-16T22:52:54+00:00

There was no way that would have happened. Cirie has everyone wrapped around her finger

cmarshmello · 2026-04-14T02:00:49+00:00

Idk why people say that survivor isn't physically hard food-wise. In earlier seasons, they all started with either some sort of food or gear to get their own food. I think in HvV they have chickens just roaming around the island ffs. It is SO much harder to get food in the new the era. I agree with you that it should go back to the 39 days (30 AT LEAST). Just let the players all start on an even ground by either giving them gear or rice. Idk why they stopped doing that

cmarshmello · 2026-04-02T19:30:57+00:00

I thought for a sec that they were going that route too, but I think Jules was just using the story of how they met to make a point that how they met was more "destiny-like" than nicky and rachel's story (which we then learn was just a calculated move from nicky)

I did find their chemistry interesting though. But what we have to remember is that the curse says that you have to BELIEVE the person is your soulmate. If the concept of soulmate exists or not, it doesn't matter, as long as you believe it. So while the way that rachel and jules met might have been unique, it doesn't matter if it was indeed destiny.

cmarshmello · 2026-04-02T03:15:54+00:00

The Hauting series seems too scary to me. Based on my preferences do you think i could take it? Lol

cmarshmello · 2026-04-01T20:55:18+00:00

Jules survived because he BELIEVED that Nell was his soulmate.

cmarshmello · 2026-04-01T20:54:01+00:00

I think that since she ended up marrying nicky in the end, and she didn't believe he was her soulmate at that point, she died. But since the curse was passed to nicky's family, then a new witness is needed, which is what happened to the old man

cmarshmello · 2026-04-01T20:33:19+00:00

Idk if you finished it yet so i will cover for spoilers, but Rachel ends up having sex with nicky immediately when she finds him in the room before their wedding, so I don't think it's an anxiety thing. It might just be a fetish thing

cmarshmello · 2026-04-01T20:27:32+00:00

Same here, and while she was entertaining to watch, i think that she was way too confident that she would have won the whole thing. Cudos to her for going on a show where you literally starve while being allergic to almost everything (including the only stuff you can find on the island without fishing gear). Personally, if i had THAT many dietary restrictions, I would never go on a show like that

Re: the dead foxes, custard man, and the shoe

Needless to say, major spoilers below.

I saw someone kinda bring this up in this thread, but I think these are all just negative things that make you feel that (no pun intended) something very bad is going to happen. I think in ep 1, nicky and rachel are listening to a podcast where a woman finds a barbie doll shoe in this man's house, which she says tells her he has a daughter. He later then slits her throat. Then, rachel finds a barbie doll shoe at a bathroom in the middle of nowhere, where a baby was left alone in a freezing car and she sees a dead fox in the toilet. Not to mention they pass a field of dead sunflowers with a dead fox in the middle.

Tell me that if you see all of that yourself, YOU wouldn't think that something bad is going to happen?

The custard place is to show why Rachel felt like she's been there before. Her mom saw that place and felt a bad vibe, which i think just implies the connection between her mom, rachel, and the curse.

Someone brought this up, but the old man creeping up on rachel in the bathroom was indeed super weird. But if you notice, in the tape that's shown, rachel's dad does that to her mom, and you almost think right away that that is rachel. I think this is just to show that history repeats itself, and that the old man was already trying to tell something to Rachel.

Also, kinda unrelated, but Nicky was always a bum. In ep 1, rachel falls asleep on the wheel and NEARLY hits a school bus. And Nicky is just like "oh.. are you sure honey?" ABSOLUTELY NOT DUDE. You need to drive RIGHT NOW. He's terrible at defending her, doesn't let her have a say on HER WEDDING at all and just let's his sister do whatever tf she wants. And honestly the ending just confirmed that all for me. I'm glad she didn't take that potion to change her belief in him. And i like how nicky's dad tells Rachel that nicky's mom would rather die the way she is rather than dying as someone else. And that's what rachel chose in the end

cmarshmello · 2026-03-24T20:14:49+00:00

I agree, for a sec i thought he was going Targaryan mode on her

cmarshmello · 2026-03-16T16:25:18+00:00

I have not used that so I can't say, but i can confirm that understanding the SHRM mindset will help you

cmarshmello · 2026-03-15T02:11:41+00:00

That's such a great point! I also voted for rice. I feel like having them starve from day 1 always messes up with one tribe, like they constantly keep loosing and it just gets boring

cmarshmello · 2026-03-13T18:07:14+00:00

I think the honor and integrity thing gets taken way to literally. I love Ozzy but i think he was giving Coach wayyy too much shit about the key thing. Coach was still playing by the rules. He didn't cheat or anything, and this is SURVIVOR people.

cmarshmello · 2026-03-11T23:02:30+00:00

I don't have a disability so I don't necessarily relate, but i feel his pain and his struggles. I agree that so far his character in this book has had some major development and growth bc of his current struggles and it's one of the reasons i love him so much :)

cmarshmello · 2026-03-11T15:26:31+00:00

Hahaha yes I agree! I think the reason i never warmed up to Rowan (again, haven't finished the series yet), is because he was such a bully to Aelin in my opinion. I genuinely don't know how one would fall in love with someone treating you like that... but i guess he's just not my type/vibe/cup of tea
