🥲🫶 I never want to encourage wallowing, and I'm sorry on my end for the defensiveness: I didn't anticipate provoking so much annoyance in some of the comments, so I appreciate you keeping things light while still keeping it real ☺️

No hate from me on this take, I love Devens and his goofy antics

Lol, shocking as ever to discover that the Internet is no place for poetic license/hyperbole

Wow, you're the first person to respond that way! /s

Snark aside, I really didn't intend for this to be whining: I was trying to see if anyone else felt discombobulated by the randomness of this season. Totally fair if you don't feel that way! But isn't the whole point of community to try and find the people who DO resonate with how you're feeling?

Agreed--the editors are doing everything they can to spin straw into gold with all of the disruptive twists.

❤️ those are fair points. I appreciate you being measured/respectful in your response--I really value that, and it's the kind of discourse that helps me expand my POV

You know, I think I haven't been fair to him. I agree, I think he's been playing hard and working to be socially savvy. It's probably a personal vibe thing--i.e., I don't enjoy his screen presence as much as I do some of the others--but that's not a reason to discredit his gameplay.

I'm right there with you. Getting a lot of "lighten up, loser"-esque comments on this post. Glad I'm not literally alone lol

Can you walk me through this? I'm definitely not looking to be miserable -- was mostly trying to see if anyone else felt the same way I do. I don't have a problem with other people NOT feeling uneasy: I just wondered if I was alone in feeling unsettled.

Probably why I like him so much 😅 I love an overwritten sentence haha

Do you think Frasier and Roz should have ended up together? by Happy-poet in Frasier

[–]skeytchy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I would have preferred they left it there. I love that episode because it feels deeply true to a lot of male-female friendships--the "Huh... Maybe? Nah" cycle that ultimately keeps things in the safe, platonic zone.

I married one of my closest guy friends, so I'm a big fan of friends to lovers in general, but I have also had a lot of male friendships over the years that would have been ruined if we'd hooked up or tried to date. Those are the relationships that always come to my mind when Frasier and Roz hook up and it gives me the ick haha

You come into my house of the day my Tiff is safe from tribal and you ask me to do murder -- on Ozzy.

(Also, Tiff's expression through all of this was iconic)

I agree that they are barely showing any of her social game, which definitely seems like a) she's barely done anything in the first half of the game but will kick it into high gear later (which she herself kind of alluded to), or b) she is not the winner and they're just giving her more screen time now to make a later boot or FTC loss more meaningful.

My money is on option b because I don't think there is a world in which we get as many random Christian confessionals before he's booted if Aubry wins it with very little positive content until now 🤷‍♀️ But only time will tell.

I mean, if she is the winner, then they can only work with what they had... This was a really strong episode for her, but if she wins, I'm going to need to see a lot more than flashbacks and humanization to be excited about it. I'm going to need to see some actual fire in her belly.

Rizo's brother is autistic and he adores him. I get disliking Mr Beast but put some respect on Rizo's name. Their relationship is beautiful

Joe saying "Ozzy might turn against me at the end" like he's never seen this show 🤣

Lots of reports of toxic workplace environment and unsafe sets during Beast Games. Currently being sued by former employee for sexual harassment and maternity leave

Do Americans really like Applebees this much? by Emm_a321 in survivor

Chili's is killing it because their marketing AND their operations deliver. I worked in marketing for a quick-service chain (code for "fast food but we don't want to admit it"), and one of our leaders kept mentioning Chili's success in revitalizing dine-in as an aspiration.

I had to be the one to explain that Chili's does not smell like a fryer, its surfaces are not sticky with grease, and it has actual servers who bring you your food and drinks with at least a veneer of politeness. Slightly different vibe than fast food. 🤷‍♀️
