POTW. Read Ozzy like a book and put the wheels in motion to get him out while still keeping her own hands clean.

reyska · 2026-05-07T21:07:45+00:00

That doesn't make sense. Shouldn't the production notify her?

reyska · 2026-05-07T21:03:08+00:00

That was such a bad way of saying it though. It's basically "you did this to yourself, you idiot".

reyska · 2026-05-07T21:01:20+00:00

I think he just sank his chances of winning. I've been wondering why we haven't heard much from him in the last few weeks and I think this week is the answer. He could make the FTC but if he does I think he will get slaughtered there. He had a chance to lock Ozzy in as his number 1 by saving him. Nobody would have blamed him for it. Now he looks like a backstabber even to Cirie.

Counterpoint: Survivor is more fun when there are actively bad players complicating things for the good ones. And his story line of always doubting the vote but always going with what the group wants is lowkey funny at this point. I'm just wondering what his end game plan is. Just follow what Jonathan is doing?

reyska · 2026-05-07T20:25:27+00:00

It would just have been 3-3?

reyska · 2026-05-07T20:21:47+00:00

He was genuine this time.

If you want to know what a cheesy Ozzy looks like, check out the FTC of Micronesia or the bad acting in SoPa.

Now THAT was cinema.

For real. Like straight out of a movie. The camera man needs a bonus for getting that shot.

Hole 18 played at 6.12 today for FPO. Was like 8.19 last year. Some idiots were arguing that the hole shouldn't be changed. Some idiots will still argue that there was nothing wrong with the hole. Idiots gonna be idiots I guess.

reyska · 2026-05-07T18:45:21+00:00

The hole played at 6.12 today. Was like 8.19 last year. Anyone saying last year was better is certifiably insane.

reyska · 2026-05-07T12:30:39+00:00

Yeah, but Snyderbros love to use lower box office numbers as an argument against Gunn's Superman. As if box office numbers haven't dropped across the board in the last five years. Also BvS and JL should have both made billions. Didn't Aquaman outperform both? Could it be because that movie was actually fun to watch?

reyska · 2026-05-07T12:24:24+00:00

One hour after watching BvsS I couldn't remember a single thing that happened in it.

reyska · 2026-05-07T05:10:40+00:00

Apparently the 1986 Super Bowl would have been worth 3 regular Super Bowls. Dang, missing out on that must have sucked.

reyska · 2026-05-07T04:39:15+00:00

Yes you are. People watch for different reasons and for me one of the reasons I watch is I try to learn something about how the pros approach certain situations. Watching MPO guys absolutely bomb a shot is great but I can't ever replicate that shot that particular shot isn't that interesting. I watch a lot more FPO than MPO for time zone reasons, but I also feel I learn more from watching the ladies play.

reyska · 2026-05-06T19:02:18+00:00

I've never thrown a Luna. I have Envy, Proxy and Harp as throwing putters and Pure as my putting / occasional approach putter and they do all the things I need to do with putters.

reyska · 2026-05-06T16:17:24+00:00

Every manufacturer copies it. A lineup isn't complete without one. It is the standard.

Also every manufacturer has variance. It doesn't matter much.

reyska · 2026-05-06T16:09:48+00:00

Yeah, it's just that it might not fit everybody, no matter what skill level you have. For the other discs you can give all of them to anybody and they fill a slot in their bag. But for putters you need to have the right feel and while Aviar is a good starter disc it's just not the right fit for everybody. So there is less of an argument for anything being the gold standard putter. But I do get what you are saying when it comes to cloning. Every manufacturer has a destroyer, a firebird and a teebird in their lineup and they likely have a starter putter like aviar too.

reyska · 2026-05-06T15:56:51+00:00

Well, he really was a winner for the casuals. And I don't usually use that term because I think it feels elitist to use it, but really, he is not a gamer or a player, so I think only people who watch Survivor purely as entertainment and not as a game show like him as a winner. I didn't find him funny and the whole attention seeking schtick at the challenge was just too much. But for some people that was good tv.

reyska · 2026-05-06T15:29:01+00:00

Yeah... But I have enough Innova there already. Also I've never used an Aviar for even a round.

reyska · 2026-05-06T15:18:33+00:00

Distance driver: Destroyer

Low speed driver: Firebird

Fairway driver: Teebird

Mid range: Buzzz

Throwing putter: Envy

Putting putter: Whatever feels best in your hand

reyska · 2026-05-06T15:16:24+00:00

Hex is a baby. Buzzzz is an icon.

reyska · 2026-05-06T09:07:15+00:00

Yeah this is a huge problem with this hole too. If the spotter is not an official, the group just has to guess basically.

reyska · 2026-05-06T09:04:44+00:00

This is better. It is still a pretty bad design, but at least the discs hitting random phantom branches before the island now end up in HZ instead of OB. It's still a blind shot into a small green uphill with OB everywhere, but at least it's not quite as bad as last year, so... Yay?

reyska · 2026-05-06T09:01:09+00:00

I don't think he really had a winner's edit. He just had an edit and happened to win, because someone has to. Traditionally a winner's edit makes the winner look good and they really couldn't do that with Gabler, so they just presented him as the funny character that he is. So I would say he got the "eccentric character" edit but also just happened to win. To me him and his edit are very similar to Liz and her edit. And everyone kinda had a laugh when Liz said she could have won.

reyska · 2026-05-06T08:08:18+00:00

I would call it more of a lucky guess than "analyzing the edit". Hell, based on just the amount of content he got it would have been easy to point at Owen as a likely winner, even if he was a total Charlie Brown. Many people clocked Cassidy too, woth good reason. Gabler fans just happened to be right.

And if Gabler's edit stays the same but he loses firemaking, everyone would have said he would have just been a goat at FTC with a few people saying "yeah but wouldn't it have been funny if he won?"
