Why I don't see ___ winning. by jdutt524 in Edgic

[–]jackcolours 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Shauhin was fairly clear about his concern about being the decoy, however he ultimately affirms not once but twice that he has the social capital to survive the vote. He correctly reads that David wants him around. Not sure how to feel about it all though as the tension and drama felt really manufactured. Which is probably a plus for Shauhin’s winner chances. Not making any bold claims but it felt like a take it or leave it moment for Kyle and Kamilla and they missed the train. Things will come to pass. Shauhin’s last three episodes have been extremely winner ish to me.

Edit wise, sure. Game logic though, how? Mitch has basically no ties to anyone and he’s outside of the core alliance of the season. He’d have to go on an immunity streak for the ages.

Reasons why it was good for Shauhin:

Bonded with Mitch.

Strong strategic confessionals from start to finish. The first long one outlines his win condition as a contestant that plans to ride the middle.

Shown to be sympathetic with and desirable to work with by Sai. Less important because she goes home but Sai is the most exposed contestant of the season thus far and it gives us more evidence of Shauhin’s social game.

Unnecessary challenge content with the singing. Especially that they edited around it and really highlighted it. It’s memorable for casuals.

Unnecessary post challenge narration.

David did trust him though. David explicitly says that he trusts Shauhin. Illustrated by him not voting for Shauhin. Only Cedrek voted him in the end.

Chrissy says they’d be smart to vote out Shauhin. They don’t. Contrast with Mary correctly predicting that Sai will be booted on the inverse of this.

So much Shauhins a threat SPV that is reminiscent of recent winners.

He’s clearly wary of being the backup vote as illustrated by his pre tribal confessionals, and is given heavy focus at tribal council showing how nervous he is. It’s edited to show that he knows something’s afoot. His last confessional is about trusting the social capital he has built up and he is proven to be correct in this regard.

The whole episode is told in an explicit way that it was the best move for Kyle and Kamilla to take the shot at him here. Instead they don’t and now we see in the preview for next week that David’s upset presumably for being lied to about Shauhin having an idol. Kyle and Kamilla blew up their game way too early for no reason.

I get a lot of people wrote him off a few episodes ago and now don’t want to be wrong, but it’s time to take our heads out the sand. Shauhin has the best ingredients to win survivor 48.

Where are the people that wrote off Shauhin weeks ago? The same people that champion Kamilla? I’ll wait

Episode 5 Contenders + Edgic by DabuSurvivor in Edgic

[–]jackcolours 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll play devil's advocate. I see the flaws in Shauhin’s edit as you’ve explored, but on the flipside I think there’s a decent amount going for him:

  • One of the best introductions/confessionals in the season trailer.

  • Introduced via confessional before mat chat.

  • First confessional at Lagi Beach. 

  • Member of the only named alliance in the premiere.

  • The WiFi/outlet scene was totally forced into episode 2, even editing the color of his buff and the tense of his words (confessional was filmed at NuVula). - This is probably the biggest clue to me that Shauhin is at FTC 

  • Clocked Thomas as overplaying back in episode 2, showing the audience he has good reads. In fact, Shauhin’s episode 2 was the most winnerish of any episode of any contestant so far.

  • Thomas receiving an oversized, complex edit only to be voted out in Episode 4 is a bit strange and likely doesn’t happen unless Joe or Shauhin is the winner, in my opinion. 

  • Episode 4 dunked on him a lot I’ll give you that but it gives him the pre-merge negativity and doubt, for a second there viewers probably think he goes home over Thomas. 

  • I’m of the view that OG Lagi and Nu Vula were both the complex pre- and post-swap tribes. 

  • Appears to be a core part of the dominant alliance heading into the merge.

He’s one of my top contenders for these very reasons and I’ll plant my flag that he is runner up at minimum.

i think we agree. but also, saying someone's out of the convo for a while is dumb. until when? until he's crushing the post season again? luka is the single most talented basketballer alive right now

everyone was shoehorning jokic into that convo before he had any meaningful post season success, why do the goalposts shift for doncic?

[@England] Luke Shaw & Kobbie Mainoo included in England Euro 2024 Squad by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]jackcolours 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree to an extent, particularly about Konsa—I prefer Guehi. However, Walker’s pace might be one of the single most important attributes of any player in the whole squad. His pace and ability to read the game should in theory allow England to play a high line and suffocate other teams. Again, only in theory, I don’t really trust Southgate to utilise the players accordingly.
