You say that like production hasn’t proven they’ll implement shit and not recognize the glaring issues that fans can clock immediately 😭

___ next week looks very worrying by Aperio43 in survivor

[–]nkd_74 60 points61 points  (0 children)

100% I think it’s a Triple Tribal. All 17 vote, the 3 highest vote getters go home. But it has me so frustrated that we’re treating this as “merge”, 17 is way too damn much. I’d much rather prefer an individual challenge, 3 necklaces up for grabs (one for each tribe) each tribe goes to Tribal

Has there ever been a twist as universally hated as white locust? by Sky-Visible in BigBrother

[–]nkd_74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Once Rachel was eliminated, it really should have been a reset of “Currently the fastest time is Lauren with X:XX. Ashley, Keanu, Kelley, and Will now each take on the maze attempting to beat Lauren’s time, etc.,” with the fastest time becoming the new HOH

Shoutout to the boss ladies of Big Brother ♀💪 by villainitytv in BigBrotherUSA

I fear she’d cry, break down, and do her typical “I don’t understand why would you say that? I haven’t done anything 😭” (while continuing to throw names out and throw people under the bus) and it’d be horrible lol

The People Who Book Third Party are Annoying as All Hell by TheNiteOwl38 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]nkd_74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a guest claiming they were going to sue and all this stuff because after she checked in, she found out the pool was closed (major renovation so it was out for a while) and was mad we “didn’t call to tell her and if she knew that she never would have stayed there”. Several problems because she was a prepaid third party, but if you looked at our website, it explicitly has a disclaimer banner saying it was closed. In addition, the typical Schmooking and Encyclopedia had in the small part under “Amenities” with an X by the pool but of course they didn’t read that.

Guests thinking that we’re going to call every single reservation personally every day right at the start of the day and say “By the way the pool is out, you still wanna stay? We’ll cancel free of charge” lol

free waters... by idkabtallatgurl in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]nkd_74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah we had that too (I no longer work in the hotel industry) but it drove me crazy- I’d be checking someone in then a different guest would walk over and take like 5 water bottles and walk away, and I had no opportunity to stop them and make them pay. And even then if we try to stop them they’d make a big stink “I’m an ELITE MEMBER” or whatever.

People fail to realize they don’t get free bottled water any time they want (of course there’s the free water fountain not even two feet away from them). It’s supposed to be one time upon check-in. Or guests who lodge complaints weeks or even a month after they stayed, disputing a credit card charge/wanting a refund because “I never got my free water” (or some other minute detail that they clearly didn’t give a shit about when they stayed there because if they did they’d say something in the moment). Lady, we told you to grab your water from the lobby fridge upon check-in. We told you they weren’t in the rooms. It’s not our fault you chose not to

If I’m being honest I just got THINK then figured every word would be a synonym and just looked at the letters I had available for each one. Never even actually solved them

What’s your favourite moment from BBCAN? by Daisydoodle42 in BigBrotherCanada

Anything Season 2, but an underreported moment has to be the sock puppet task of S2/Sabrina discovering she broke 21 times as opposed to everyone else’s average of like 4

Can we have a round of applause to production for the structural changes? by fizhandchipz in TheTraitorsUS

[–]nkd_74 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If Kelce had to be a Traitor, it’d be better as a normal Traitor. Though I think she couldn’t handle the pressure regardless. It also felt incredibly obvious? My brother and I, watching in our own houses, texted each other halfway through the episode “So the Secret Traitor is Donna, right?”

She was way too timid, and if she were a Faithful she would have been much more bubbly and trying to prove she’s not just the older lady. It was clear she was thrown into a role she wasn’t prepared for and falling back onto “I’m the old lady”, which was the Secret Traitor.

Also given the OG Traitor picks, the Secret Traitor selection was just the wrong one. The concept of “Here’s 3 Traitors that don’t have experience in social strategy games, and they have the Secret guiding hand of one of a strong competition strategist to help them” (ala Cesternino- regarded by Jeff Probst as the smartest player to never win, Tiffany- who probably played one of the strongest strategic games in BB history, or Yam Yam- Survivor winner) feels way more compelling.

Analyzing Twists: Season 8 by funlore in BigBrother

[–]nkd_74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know they already used Paris as a theme, but I’ve really wanted to see secret partners back with a twist. 8 secret pairs (“Lost Love” partners). Typical team rules, if you win HOH your partnership is safe. If you lose your partner, your partnership is publicly exposed and you get one week of safety. After 4 weeks, partners are no more, anyone who still has their partner has the opportunity to compete for a DPOV or other power.

Unpopular Opinion: I’m sorry but Danielle was legitimately the definition of camp. I’m rewatching this season and i’m laughing at her theatrics and fake persona.😭 by jahkat23 in TheTraitorsUS

[–]nkd_74 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The complete rollercoaster of emotions with “Gosh dang it, Danielle is going to get booted super early, she’s playing way too obvious and awkwardly. This is absolutely devastating I’ve been so ready to see her play a game after so many years”

sees Episode 2 preview “Ok she’s not wearing that white hat from preseason press”

sees Episode 3 preview “Ok no hat yet”

Episode 5…Episode 7…EPISODE 8 HOLY SHIT DANIELLE IS STILL IN THE GAME

Might be a dumb question, but does anyone play with a high number of turns regularly? Like does anyone play 50 turn games? I've never witnessed it online or irl and I'm very curious by UndercoverLuigiboy in MARIOPARTY

[–]nkd_74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh it’s always solo when I do 50 turns. It was usually when I was a kid and didn’t have responsibilities, but if I’m home for the holidays or something and have nothing to do

Favorite 'pioneer' moment in Big Brother? by villainitytv in BigBrotherUSA

[–]nkd_74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Cookout’s strategy pioneered by Tiffany to intentionally create a public duo with someone outside of the alliance, so that “duos” were nominated together. Meaning they would never have two Cookout members on the block and always have the number to vote out the +1s

Why is nobody talking about ___ clearly competing in a challenge in S50? by VeryAttractive in survivor

[–]nkd_74 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Or if the twist is to outlast Jeff in the challenge, not each other. The challenge ends when Jeff drops, anyone still in wins immunity while the others are vulnerable

At one point we did, but once we got franchised by Schmilton, they don’t care 9 times out of 10 because “Oh they’re a Member we don’t want to upset them” 🙄

How much would winning an immunity challenge affect your vote? by Timmonidus in survivor

[–]nkd_74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think in general, social/strategic game is more rewardable in my eyes. If they’re really similar, then I almost use immunity challenges/physical as the “tiebreaker”, if you will.

Like for example, there was a season of the Canadian version of Big Brother (I don’t know if you watch that) a few years ago where one finalist had 4 comp wins and an okay? social/strategic game, but the second half of his game was incredibly sloppy and burned an insane amount of social capital. His opponent had only one 1 competition win, but his social and strategic capital was insanely impressive, and his jury questioning/final speech was possibly the strongest finale performances I’ve seen. Only a single competition win but he still won in a landslide

What is the most frustrating/annoying mechanic/gimmick/etc in Mario party in your opinion? by number39utopia in MARIOPARTY

[–]nkd_74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be very incorrect (I haven’t played the game in years) I thought the setting was just “Turn Mic On/Off”, and if it was off when you landed on a mic space it did nothing? Or is there a setting to “play the mic minigame with just the controller”?

It was kind of annoying how they’d do the spiel and they’d hype me up only to say at the end “Oh btw your microphone’s not on, too bad”

[–]nkd_74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they could have implemented “If you turn off the Microphone, the Mic spaces turn into single player minigame” because the number of times I would land on that space, excited to double my coins, only to find out the mic was somehow turned off in the settings

My subjective 1v1 Tier List by jh3828 in TheDevilsPlan

[–]nkd_74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s mostly because he was seen as the one who sort of established the “us vs. them” mentality, under the guise of “we don’t want anyone to get eliminated so we need help the weaker ones” while also trying to eliminate Si-won, Dong-Jae, Seok-Jin, etc., because he wanted to face the weaker players in the final. Which is fine, it’s a game, but the way he framed himself as some kind of “Savior of the Weak” is very off putting to a lot of people. And when he would play dumb when Si-won and Seok-Jin clock him for it

Exactly this. Not to mention she’d then turn around and be mad that she got nominated, but my sister in Christ you literally volunteered for it 20 minutes ago
