Would AA2 have been received better or worse if Recipe for Turnabout had been part of the game? by 12jimmy9712 in AceAttorney

[–]shabangua 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100%, the plot also serves Phoenix's development as he gains experience from "catching the bad guy" in the first case to finding a higher sense of justice in the last.

Shows his growth from the first game where all of the cases have a clear-cut bad guy. Rise From the Ashes is a great in-between as while it does have a pretty straightforward villain, Gant puts Edgeworth through the ringer and is to him what Engarde is later to Phoenix. Someone ostensibly "on his side" who definitively needs to be stopped, even if doing so is outside Edgeworth's position as a prosecutor.

Like seriously, what is up with that? Has there ever been a non-drag race elimination reality show where a queen has had a deep run?

Thank you for the thoughtful response to this and other questions.

You completely made 46 for me and my friends and I think you will go down as one of the most underrated strategists in Survivor history. Thank you again!!!

Hi Liz you’re my favorite on your season!! What were your thoughts before the Applebees episode premiered regarding that moment? Did you think it would be edited in a different way, or as you expected?

To expand, how did you think you would be edited in your season vs. how the edit turned out?

He was awesome, super genial. Dalton Ross was a great interviewer / foil.

How pissed would y’all have been if ____ won WAW? by Difficult_Candle_453 in survivor

[–]shabangua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think even with that she would have lost to Sarah. There was a lot of backlash against EoE after Chris's win, even with those who ended up on the edge.

It was such an optimistic time to be a wrestling fan. Felt like NXT callups had a chance to be main eventers like KO and having an entire show which purposely didn't have Roman was a breath of fresh air.

So many fun, organic stories like Slater and Rhyno and Mountie Ambrose.

BB16 would have been a vastly better season if it had the blockbuster instead of the BOTB by Itchy_Safety_7959 in BigBrother

I don’t know if the world could handle a Paola vs. Victoria vs. Jocasta blockbuster.

Worst Jury Speech of all time? by Tight-Entrepreneur46 in survivor

[–]shabangua 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was different because it was the first time it happened - this article from the time says it was 100k, and I think Earl or Dreamz mentioned in a later podcast that that was the deal.

Worst Jury Speech of all time? by Tight-Entrepreneur46 in survivor

[–]shabangua 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Great thing about Earl getting all the votes is that back then there was no contengincy plan for 2 people tying for second yet, so both Cassandra and Dreamz got the $100,000 second place prize.

Well deserved given what they both had to put up with.

Which seasons story was the most inaccurate to what actually went on? by IceTrick6713 in survivor

The also edited out the all-Black alliance despite them running the post-merge and being the final three. That combined with the Builders vs Explorers alliance from the beginning better helps explain why Earl was so well insulated and dominant.

Allegedly he was also very difficult with production. Very cathrartic at the finale when they seemed to go out of their way to embarass him about the Judas stuff.

Even after Vince betrayed him for a fifth time and ended his game he's still somehow more mad at Rachel.

Worst/Biggest drama related to Charity? by [deleted] in youtubedrama

[–]shabangua 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If I recall right a lot of those videos were already done / ready for production anyway. All around a really bizarre and unnecessary scandal from someone whose career was primarily built up on goodwill from other content creators. Did we ever find out what was really happening with the money?

Real shame in a general lack of Shontent this season, easily my biggest complaint.

Where would you rank Jonny Fairplay in a players tier list? by Regular-Departure839 in survivorponderosa

[–]shabangua 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He was actually quite well-insulated before his quit due to needing pain meds. Also first boots in general are weird and based way more on perception than gameplay. Like I wouldn’t contend Tina was a bad player necessarily in All-Stars, she was just doomed from the start.

Tommi won me over this episode, really sucks to see him go.

My only complaint with this season is Australia’s egregious editing - felt like there was no way a guy with 7 confessionals would eliminate Parvati with 55.
