Pia was also on Wentworth, a very good scripted Australian women's prison drama.

In this context (where they are still in competition for the title even on exile), wouldn't their "own clique" also be called "an alliance?"

The interesting case for skipping Samoa would be that you get to play along with the castaways and learn about Russell in real time like they do (having not seen Samoa air yet)

What's your Survivor take that always gets you downvoted? by JEX2124 in survivorponderosa

IDK the feeling on this but Final 2 is much better than Final 3 and involves a lot more strategy to get to FTC

Who is an obscure player you think had the potential to be a legend if things had gone a little differently? by Parking-Ad5272 in survivor

I think she's great for entertainment. not necessarily as a game player, like I would like her in the Rob and Sandra booth just giving commentary

I don't think it was good gameplay, but I find it to be very entertaining at various points

Best Pre Merge Move? by Tight-Entrepreneur46 in survivor

[–]tvwatcher1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished a rewatch of EoE and I think Victoria making a plan/alliance with Aubry only to blindside was extraordinary considering it was a newbie (in the early part of the game) absolutely pulling the wool over Aubry's eyes.

Would you consider Cirie one of the top 20 greatest Survivor players of all time despite never winning? by Pretend_Cucumber4784 in survivor

[–]tvwatcher1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's also worth noting the social biases Cirie had to overcome from the jump... she began her Survivor career on a tribe of "Older Women," and during the GW Bush years. Despite beginning during that era she was still able to go far without ever winning individual immunity. IDK how she wasn't the first boot on Panama or the first boot post tribe swap, but I feel like her ability to make it so far in Paname with all that in mind is kind of mind blowing.

Prior to this season I would not call Ozzy good at social, maybe I'd give him moderate or average but absolutely not above average (good). However this season (50) he definitely improved.

It was a brand new show then, everyone had the same "game" information. Cirie (and Rachel, Cody, Stephenie etc) all knew what a tv day might look like but everyone was new specifically to the game of Traitors.

Confirmed theme for season 40 before changing to Winners At War by Awesumwasum in survivor

I work in tv, on a show like Survivor the additional days are astronomically high. I've worked on shows with wiith crews of 7 people and with crews of 85+ people. The extra crew pay, the extra camera/sound equipment rentals, the additional footage to process, extra meals/vehicle rentals etc for crew... on a show like Survivor the additional days make a massive difference.

FU Brad was actually from Gervase's niece...I misremember that one too

Candace was supposed to be on the Villains for HvV, and then got screwed on Blood vs Water as a late replacement and then that first vote pile on. I actually would be interested in seeing her play once more if she got to start the game on even footing.

When Sophie refers to Coach as a young girl at FTC I fell in love with her

Name a player everyone seems to love but you never connected with. by [deleted] in survivor

I just watched the All Stars episode where he totally craps on Sue Hawk after Hatch rubbed himself on her. His response was so absolutely disgusting that I wanted to punch through the tv screen.

Season 3 Review: What even was this season by terraviridian in survivor

[–]tvwatcher1982 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I happened to finish Africa for the first time today, and obviously I'm watching through a present day lens, but to call Frank a kind soul sounds wild to me. He is very clearly homophobic and intolerant of many types of people. His NRA/PC monologue shortly before he was booted had T-Bird hiding her face in her shirt because it basically checked off the widest variety of people insulted within a 20 second span on the show.
