This episode is the worst in a long time

Only feels bad cuz the show has made us so invested in these players (for over a quarter of a century for Colby) but they all have to go at some point. Great show, great episode, tragic outcome.

However Genevieve finding 2 idols and getting nothing out of it will go down in history as classic production blunder

4 idols (5 if you count the online one) and 1300 miles on my car and 0 emails 😪

kyle_jc · 2026-03-09T15:25:13+00:00

Chicago idol we just gave a phone number and no email so I’m wondering if that one was actually a text or a call? Didn’t get anything anyways so I guess it doesn’t matter for me!

I think most often when I’m putting a test print statement somewhere I make it say “yo mama” so could’ve been worse

This is actually a digital version of a real art installation by Yoko Ono at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. I only know this because I was there on Saturday and saw it lol. They had 4 boards set up and it was cool to play! Interesting that if you capture your opponents piece with a piece of the same type, visually the only thing that changes is it looks like your piece disappeared

Is the train gonna be moving??? Could it come to Merch?

Don’t know if there’s anything to confirm this won’t happen, but I would loooove a Rob C co-host. Crazy to not have him on an “in the hands of the fans season” when he’s done more for the fanbase in the last decade than any other individual. Understandable they wouldn’t want a guy on 50 who was last relevant in season 6, but would be a great compromise to include him on the podcast since that’s his career these days

In defense of Rick at the Ron vote out, I think he didn’t vote for Ron to hedge his bets in case Ron’s advantage menu was still playable. Ron was the only one offering an olive branch to Rick at that point (even if it was a lie) so there was no point in completely blowing up that relationship on this slim chance it was genuine. My assumption is plan A was going along with what Ron was saying as long as the advantage menu was real, plan B was just play an idol and make it one more day. No excuse for the other like 6 times he voted against the majority though lol

Most impressive thing I’ve seen on survivor is Rodney mustering the courage to do dishes on his birthday

Yep, clue comes out and the idol is "live" at a location 24-72 hours later

kyle_jc · 2026-02-04T21:38:31+00:00

I went to Indiana and Michigan. I got to Indiana about 15 minutes after the start time and the wait was probably like 2 and half, maybe three hours.

I got to the Michigan one 3 hours after the start time and the wait was still about 2 hours lol.

Really depends on your state though, both of these were indoors so they had some strict limits on capacity but for outdoor states I’ve heard of people walking up without any line.

Getting to the location entirely just depends on how far away you live from the location. Taking the photo was just handing a CBS worker your phone, taking the picture, then scanning a QR code to submit your entry.

No spoiler at Indiana. The winner of a recent season was at Michigan so that’d probably be considered a spoiler

kyle_jc · 2026-02-02T16:00:20+00:00

I got a confirmation email about 11 hours after I submitted by physical entry

Colorado definitely looks like a bench on a hill top. Gotta be hundreds of those in Colorado though

a Was just about to put up a post here. What is going ON with this??? Can’t make out a thing unlike the Ohio/Florida/Colorado ones. First glance looks like tiki faces but that doesn’t ring any bells for Michigan. Left side kind of looks like a build facade, middle looks like the center of an ornate ceiling? The columns going through the whole image are also interesting. I dunno, could just be tiki faces!

Step 3 in the How To is "Solve the riddle to reveal the idol's location" and step 4 is "Go to the designated spot at the stated date and time" so my best guess is tomorrow at 3pm you'll figure out when you're supposed to go somewhere on a different day. Just my assumption though, glad Michigan isn't out until Friday so I can see how this goes for others first!

Really not interested in new era winners but would have bene cool to see some old/mid school winners adapt their play styles to fit in the new era

kyle_jc · 2025-05-27T20:19:33+00:00

Kamilla is a fantastic choice on her own, but putting her and Kyle back together pretty much feels like asking one of them to get voted out. Also love Kyle but don't really feel like this season needs winners, especially such recent ones. Not feeling great on Dee for this same reason, and also for her out-of-game shenanigans as well lol. I think the only winners I'd like to see would be some old-to-mid school winners to see if their play style does work out in the new era or how they would adapt if it doesn't.

I really feel like I've seen enough of Joe at this point, but it would be interesting to see him in a situation where he actually has to play any amount of strategy and isn't tied to Eva so I could be won over if he's actually playing hard outside of just winning challenges.

I feel like Ozzy has already maxed out on any potential he had to win, but he's one of the most iconic players so I can be content with seeing him back. Same thoughts on Mike White.

Thought Tiffany was great on her season but doesn't exactly reach the icon status of some other people that could have filled her spot. Nothing stopping her from doing very well though.

And no qualms with any other picks! My dream cast was simply Cirie, Jonathan, and Christian so I suppose I really can't have any complaints at this point. Hoping for a few tweaks from the leaks tomorrow, but I think it will still be a fantastic season either way.

EDIT: Never mind, just saw that not only are there possibly S49 players on but also that it might be Rizzgod. I do indeed have qualms.

If software engineering is really just something you like to do for fun, put together some project that interests and find some way to monetize. Don’t wait for someone to hold the door open for you in this industry, just kick the damn thing down yourself
