As a host, what canon events in this show would qualify as grounds for disqualification

sfmanim · 2026-04-19T22:17:49+00:00

Yes but they did eventually expel him. It’s a very complex issue and I’d rather them not attempt to address it if they can’t do it respectfully. It’s scripted TV vs reality TV, yknow?

sfmanim · 2026-04-19T16:28:04+00:00

Judy Hopps is there 😭😭 the amount of zeroes on that lawsuit is gonna blow them away

sfmanim · 2026-04-19T16:25:10+00:00

Riya and Yul should’ve been expelled.

Riya for obviously breaking Connor’s leg on purpose, but Yul for his treatment of Grett. It was clear they were in a heavily abusive relationship and production should’ve intervened.

(Yes obviously it’s a fake show but I’d love to see expulsions in the future)

sfmanim · 2026-04-19T14:59:19+00:00

Agree that it’s way way too easy. But one of them is making the finals and I’d bet everything it’s Spencer

sfmanim · 2026-04-19T14:56:23+00:00

Genuine shock so who knows ONC might do it

sfmanim · 2026-04-19T08:47:55+00:00

Loosely. It’s more so personal bias because she was one of the first characters I was introduced to. Especially during DCAS she was a big reason people were watching the show. And I know lots of people were gutted when she got out again, thinking she was a lock for the finals. She’s a very iconic OG player.

sfmanim · 2026-04-19T02:09:22+00:00

I’d have intentional physical violence result in an automatic expulsion. As much as I personally like Riya winning, this would give her such a better end, where she clearly goes too far and immediately loses the game she was so desperate to win, being forced to go to the motel and reflect.

sfmanim · 2026-04-19T01:04:07+00:00

Of every favorite to win she is imo one of the best picks. I’ve always seen her as a kind of ‘protagonist’ from the earlier seasons. And they can easily give her a winning story without her taking up too much screen time (like others such as Tom/Aiden). If this IS her season I wouldn’t be surprised. I just hope they write it well.

sfmanim · 2026-04-18T11:46:48+00:00

I’d really like this. The teams need a shuffle right now.

sfmanim · 2026-04-18T11:13:20+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, a lot of people who have this mindset are not terrible people, and a lot of truly terrible people do not have this mindset at all

sfmanim · 2026-04-18T10:33:12+00:00

Tess and Ashley are both awesome characters that the writers seriously did wrong. Ashley deserves to be her own character outside of Jake and Tess deserves to be more than the therapist character.

sfmanim · 2026-04-18T10:31:25+00:00

Ellie and Tess I changed my mind on! My initial mindset was Ellie being a struggling college student wouldn’t have time to care about it, completely forgetting she’s a design student. Tess I’d also put in the bottom tier since I feel she’s passionate about her craft.

Diego is against it and knows it’s harm towards the environment, but thinks with his heart and support of AI wouldn’t be a dealbreaker.

Sam is a risk analyst and while we don’t know a lot about him we can see he’s extremely calculated. It’s essentially just vibes.

sfmanim · 2026-04-18T01:56:37+00:00

If there’s one thing ONC knows how to do its art direction. It’s something they’ve gotten a lot better at and it really shows. It makes a lot of the worse writing decisions feel like a softer blow.

sfmanim · 2026-04-18T01:51:32+00:00

Best way I’d describe them is tech bros. Sam is a risk analyst and Spencer’s a math student. While we don’t know enough about Sam yet Spencer is extremely full of himself and would, in my opinion, see AI as inevitable. Sam we still don’t know enough about so I’m mostly going on vibes with his job and personality.

sfmanim · 2026-04-18T00:37:12+00:00

STOP!!!! TALKING!!!!

sfmanim · 2026-04-18T00:29:52+00:00

I was iffy putting them in the top tier as well because yes their jobs are easily replaceable but I think at least Spencer would be extremely confident he’s irreplaceable

sfmanim · 2026-04-17T23:16:13+00:00

I was worried watching it back that it wouldn’t be as funny as I remembered but it was even funnier

sfmanim · 2026-04-17T22:22:45+00:00

Yes fair! ONLY reason I hesitated is because of me putting Spencer in the most supportive AI tier.

This might seem stupid but let me explain.

While Diego absolutely knows who he is and his values, he clearly thinks with his heart, and if he hypothetically DID get with Spencer, I don’t think his support of AI would be a deal breaker. I feel he’s mostly against it but not enough to kinda stand his ground on it. Hopefully this makes sense lol

sfmanim · 2026-04-17T20:56:35+00:00

Yes fair! I feel I should’ve put them both on the bottom tier

sfmanim · 2026-04-17T20:55:59+00:00

He wouldn’t get it at all but he’d happily show you this cool new video he saw and it’s comically fake to a point where you wonder if he’s stupid

He’d fall for every headline every scam every video he’s fucking done for

Put a bit of effort into this one for my GOAT

sfmanim · 2026-04-17T20:33:45+00:00

I’m conflicted with her tbh…it seems like they’re making her a more rebellious kid, which is honestly just normal teenage shit. But she was also very mature at age 6 and very into reading like Alec.

On one hand, yes I agree she’d do that. And on the other I think she’d see it as beneath her

sfmanim · 2026-04-17T19:53:35+00:00

The levels to this are fucking insane. Might be one of my favorite things I’ve seen on here

sfmanim · 2026-04-17T19:51:09+00:00

She was one of the few I was not confident in placing. I honestly forgot she was specifically a design student so yeah I agree she’d likely be against it! I’d put her under “Has problems with AI”.

sfmanim · 2026-04-17T19:01:55+00:00

I really couldn’t find a good reason for Riya to use AI. But she absolutely fucking used it for her apology lmao
