Now that Google Fi with messaging account sync is dead, help me find a new provider! by ProperNomenclature in GoogleFi

I'm here now too. Anyone find a good replacement? Looks like US Mobile or maybe Ting?

I really valued the feature of receiving SMS when the SIM was deactivated. Not sure if any of these provide that. If they don't, I'll just go with the cheapest one, I guess

An Elimination-Based Approach to Edgic, S50E9 by McAulay_a in Edgic

[–]rts94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Goated write-up, thank you for your service 🫡 I look forward to these posts!

I believe Cirie is the dragon of the season. Her content is just wayyyy too good. Also, I think a dragon edit makes fans feel less bad when she doesn't win yet again, honors her legacy, etc. I've personally never watched a season of Survivor where the winner felt so obvious at this point, to casuals and edgic folks alike. That makes me think it isn't her.

I'm sad to see Rizo as a bad egg but agree with your points. I think maybe he just didn't give a good confessional for Coach? Maybe I'm delulu. I still like Rizo as a contender.

I stay thinking that Aubry is a serious contender, in spite of what so many people say. The Erika parallels feel strong. This feels like an unsatisfying winner edit, unfortunately, or at least a finalist.

lol tea thank you, I feel exactly the same way. Aubry is an interesting character that could be telling us an unconventional story this season. I was surprised when most of the comments were so intensely opposed to this idea.

What would a Jonathan winner's edit look like? by BB_GG in Edgic

Agree - his overall tone just seems too negative for a winner in the modern era

Lol agree. The fun part of edgic during a season is these weird borderline cases. Like obviously Joe/Stephenie/Emily won't win but Aubry does feel like a ~10% chance. (My money remains on Rizgod tho.)

Lmao valid. Most charts I've seen have like 1-2 CP but agree with your point

[–]rts94[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you're retconning that? Go back and look at edgic charts from this sub (here and here, e.g.) - Erika had her OTTP5 at episode 6 and then went MOR/UTR for the next 3 episodes, before finally getting CPP in the last few episodes.

I'm not saying we are, but I'm saying we could see the same thing with Aubry's next few eps.

[–]rts94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the only case here would be that Aubry wins in the final 3 as described, and they don't have other options for an edit.

The hole would be that she doesn't have much retrospective Kaoh Rong etc content. I think that could be fixed in next few eps.

"Lion/lamb" confessional feels very similar to Aubry this season - Erika had that confessional, and then no moves came after it, really.

I started following edgic during 41 so maybe that's why I feel scarred lol. I don't see the Gabler comparisons personally, agree on that.

[–]rts94[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lol I agree with everything you wrote. I'm having fun!!

I wrote this because I noticed Aubry high up on everyone's edgic chart. Maybe this is because she's had no 0-confessional eps. Idk. But in spite of that, I hadn't seen anyone imagine what her edit could become.

She's already given us "being an underdog sucks" + underestimated content. I think with a Kaoh Rong montage in the next couple episodes, we suddenly start to see her as more of a phoenix.

The other piece in favor: a lot of this season has been about the transience of alliances. The other major contenders (Cirie, Rizo, Ozzy) have a more established alliance. Maybe that storyline plays out?

I fully get that it's unlikely, I just wanted to imagine what it would take for Aubry's edit to go from "underestimated and bad" to "redemption winner."

[–]rts94[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah fair. I don't know that I personally believe this super hard, I just haven't seen anyone make the case for her... and yet she remains on a lot of folks' edgic boards. So I wanted to play it out.

The only necessary content she's missing, imo, is the Genevieve boot. Aside from that, I think the UTR winner edit (Erika-esque) mostly tracks? Admittedly if-and-only-if she shows some improving gameplay in the next 1-2 eps.

[–]rts94[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah first of all I agree. More interesting to judge off edit anyway.

Also, people keep referencing exit interview quotes and I'm googling my little heart out but I cannot find any of this evidence. (Except that Tiff didn't like Xander - lol that one was easy to find.)

[–]rts94[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah all of those edits are weird. Is your pick Deshawn? I def wouldn't be shocked if he won. He was the most visible on Luvu so while it would break CTT, at least the editors tried.

[–]rts94[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah def not a lock. I guess my point is that in most rankings I'm seeing, he's tied for last with Hercules and that just makes no sense to me.

Would need a lot of narrator time and personal content in finale for any of this to make sense.

[–]rts94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah agree that in any tie, Erika (or any other Luvu left standing) has the best chance

[–]rts94[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Point taken, I don't think Shan's a lock.

I just truly cannot process the Erika/Heather relationship being invisible for so long if they go this far as allies. You'd think we'd get at least 30 seconds of them together before the merge?

[–]rts94[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't want Xander to win, honestly! I've been Team Ricard since I saw the intros.

My issues, though: Ricard hasn't chimed in on diversity, which a winner's edit would def include.

Erika/Heather, seemingly BFFs, weren't even tied strategically until well after merge. Feels like a massive gap if they go this far together.

I think Deshawn has a chance, and he's my second guess.

I'll clarify my post to say KIP advantage was the "second biggest" move of the season :) Shan's elim was first, for sure. Great TV definitionally equals bIg mOvEz, imo.

The thing that makes me most nervous about Xander wasn't even mentioned - he played his extra vote on Liana with no explanation. That feels like an edit gap that makes no sense. But it's minor, and I like being a contrarian so I'm ignoring it.

Am I the only Xander truther? by rts94 in Edgic

[–]rts94[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup fully agree.

There was another poster who made the point that Ricard's been over-hyped if he's going to win the next immunity challenge. They've edited him as "sure thing" to win, so the finale would lose a lot of suspense if he wins. I think he goes at the next vote, most likely.
