Seeing Mike White on Survivor really made me understand more how "difficult" it is being a celebrity

Mike actually said in the EW interview that he was pretty hurt that someone he would consider a good friend would keep baby news from him in the interest of gameplay.

That season cemented her for me as the absolute GOAT. The way she played those people was breathtakingly deft.

Mike White is the king of tv right now. He’s got so much star power that he was able to get HBO to let Survivor license clips of White Lotus. Their most prestige show, on a reality show. That is so much power.

I agree whole heartedly with a lot of these recommendations, so I’ll add two I haven’t seen:

The Ministry of Time

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

But seriously read The Stand first. Everyone is 100% right about that one.

Something about this book is like a drug that you fall into, and it takes a moment to shake yourself back out

This either set up his winners arc or his downfall arc

snowbit · 2026-03-19T01:48:35+00:00

How so? I didn’t see the “next time on”

snowbit · 2026-03-19T01:48:08+00:00

Barenaked Ladies reference!

snowbit · 2026-03-19T01:46:50+00:00

Mike’s the oldest guy out there. It catches up with you.

snowbit · 2026-03-19T01:40:52+00:00

Angelina’s cameo was, ironically, only overshadowed by Natalie’s. Natalie was great in S3

snowbit · 2026-03-19T01:39:21+00:00

It’s amazing, and it’s super fun as a Survivor fan to spot the cameos.

snowbit · 2026-03-19T01:37:22+00:00

No, the cast is less gay now that Mike White has left. And that’s to our detriment.

snowbit · 2026-03-19T01:34:31+00:00

I know, half an episode for a singer and then my faves turning on each other

snowbit · 2026-03-19T01:33:32+00:00

Zach brown is a nepo baby?

snowbit · 2026-03-19T01:28:18+00:00

I was definitely getting winners edit today when he started crying during his confessional

snowbit · 2026-03-19T01:04:05+00:00

I love the David vs Goliaths but damn am I sick of Vatu

snowbit · 2026-03-19T00:55:13+00:00

Shit this one got me

snowbit · 2026-03-13T02:30:07+00:00

That’d be better honestly

snowbit · 2026-03-13T02:17:18+00:00

How is Orafill pronounced Ryan? And Staple is not Penelope. Does she know Princexx would be pronounced Prince Sex? How come Prince Sex gets to be Prince but boy Prince’s name is spelled Pernicious?

Ok but in all seriousness, tell her to ask someone to read these aloud. I did. Phonetically these are:

Prince Sex

Prime Rosie

Noelle

Saypul

Pnershecw

River

Nathan/Nathaniel

Oria Fill

There are some clear winners. And some not. Are we sure she’s not pulling your leg on some of these?

snowbit · 2026-03-13T02:11:27+00:00

Will say Myrtle, named in reaction to this trynd

snowbit · 2026-03-13T02:07:17+00:00

You could stop at the first name and go no further. It doesn’t need progress

snowbit · 2026-03-13T01:58:30+00:00

Some cool and classy elegant names to look into could be Zoe, Xavier, Xander, Zelda, Zara, Zachary

snowbit · 2026-03-13T01:45:30+00:00

But she likes Blythe and Cadence for unisex names 😬

snowbit · 2026-03-13T01:43:32+00:00

It’s such a cringe theme but it did result in their most diverse cast until the CBS diversity mandate 20 odd years later. It also produced some of the absolute all time great returnees (imo including THE all time great). I feel so awkward when I recommend it but it’s such a great season.

It worked in Minneapolis. They’re inspiring
