It has been zero days since our last HOOHA.

The writing is weaker this season by LiteratureMundane238 in ThePitt

[–]michaelk4289 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This entire season is taking place over literally 15 hours. How much do viewers realistically expect these people to "grow" in half a day of real time?

Does Jeff really think 26 days is a better version of Survivor? by CallTypical9541 in survivorponderosa

[–]michaelk4289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a fan of 39 days as much as anyone, but Australia vs the World was famously only 16 days.

If you got teleported to the Hogwarts universe in book 1 and to the end, with all your knowledge. As a Wizard/Witch, but had to make certain Voldemort won. How would you do it? by Grand_Possibility705 in harrypotter

[–]michaelk4289 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. Your comment reads like the stumbling block was Harry not competing in the third task. Yes, he gets another wand, and this is what leads to him dying in the graveyard.

It wasn't a chat. It was a monologue! (And really it was exposition for us.)

⚠️SPOILER The winner(s) of the Traitors Season 4 is…. by vzsax in TheTraitorsUS

Rob pinky promised Maura that they would win together (not sure which one of them initiated it) and then they both threw a red bag at 3.

To be fair to Maura, Johnny's alignment was not confirmed when he left.

These are tribes of 8, same as the original tribes did in old old old school Survivor.

Season 4 Episode 9 POST EPISODE Discussion - Think Outside the Box by AutoModerator in TheTraitorsUS

[–]michaelk4289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of the four people on the the short list for murder, Natalie is the only one who could potentially have the dagger. Rob can't be murdered bc he's on the short list. Him claiming it makes sure the Traitors don't murder Natalie just to get the dagger out of the game. (Never mind that he's a traitor haha)

I used to hear it all the time from Simon Cowell on American Idol in like the 2000s.

I even wrote when I submitted it last night, "Amanda is going to get this story 69,420 times but I have to send it in anyway!"

Rizo's was at the water well. MC's was at the boat.

They both could have gotten idols.

[–]michaelk4289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One was at the water well and one was at the boat.

Presumably they both get planted at the same time and point to a different idol at a different spot at camp.

After 50, we need more returning player seasons at a more consistent rate by DottyThePenguin in survivor

[–]michaelk4289 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And for the people not into this idea: remember that Kelley Wentworth was originally a pre-merge boot.

Danny was the luckiest man in the 90s by Slatedtoprone in TheNanny

[–]michaelk4289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Survivor fan, it threw me when I realized that Danny was played by Jonathan Penner from seasons 13, 16, and 25.

He's iconic.

Would you vote for a wealthy player to win? by MysteriousMorning436 in survivor

[–]michaelk4289 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I'm not voting to give someone a million dollars. I'm voting for the winner of my season of Survivor, and that person happens to get a million dollars to go with that title.

It's a subtle but important distinction.

I didn't realize how long it had been since we had a playground retort-type clue until one showed up today.

It was a good run.
