Two things can be true at the same time. Feeling bad that Kate has cancer while thinking the Palace handled things horribly.
Absolutely, but that's my point. Many are trying to judge those who speculated on what was happening and yes, may have made snarky jokes with their conspiracy theories, as being awful in light of her cancer reveal.
And are now trying to shift the narrative into, "evil, awful people online made fun of this poor, sick woman." And my point is no, people were suspicious and ran conspiracy theories because the Palace tried to straight up lie to the public with a fake photo. Hence my point that this feels like gaslighting.
So now suddenly no one can bring up how, "um, the Palace tried to peddle a fake photo to news agencies - why?" Because to do so, suddenly means you're attacking a sick woman? Yeah, no.

The reason people were so interested in what was going on with Kate was it appeared they were hiding something.
Yeah, especially when they tried to peddle a fake photo of her and her children to international news agencies. I like how that's conveniently being ignored to gaslight the public in the wake of her admission.
That multiple reputable international photo agencies killed the Mother's Day image, questioning its validity AND made clear that they requested the raw file to understand how much manipulation had been done to the original image but Kensington Palace refused to provide one.
That is actually when the photo agencies killed the image. When KP refused to provide a raw file. And that is also when social media went crazy with the conspiracy theories. And despite claims that it was just some light photoshop and everyone photoshops images - the Associated Press laid out clearly their reasons for killing the photo was not just due to some light photoshopping but full manipulation of the image.
I observed this whole situation passively on social media because yes, social media is toxic and so I limit my engagment with it significantly. But I can say with absolute certainty that this ONLY became the shitstorm it did after the photo fiasco because of course, at that point people started wondering what the hell was going on over there and where was this woman that they needed to be trying to pass off fake photos of her.
I do not remember seeing any demands to see Kate's medical records or anyone calling Kate a liar. People were saying the Palace did something to her, because yes, many people online love a good conspiracy theory and let's be honest, there are people to this day who insist and truly believe the Royals murdered Diana.
And I find the comparisons to Chadwick Boseman incredibly disingenous. People saw Chadwick and so many were very much commenting on his appearance because it was clear the man was scary thin. And yes, because there are plenty of assholes online, some mocked and made fun of his appearance while many others were genuinely concerned and suspected he was very sick. People were not making fun of Kate's appearance because that's just it, no one was seeing her.
Now I don't know what the women on the show were saying, because I can only tolerate these women sporadically, so maybe they were hateful or awful towards Kate. But if all that occurred was the general sentiment of, "Where the hell is this woman and what is really going on here," then I see zero reasons anyone owes any apology. Because that situation was suspect and it was made suspect by the Palace's piss poor handling of the situation, IMHO.

Chile, I've seen many oddballs on this show (Brandon Hantz comes to mind) but Bhanu is a special type of nutty. If this is a performance, it's a very odd one to choose.

Damn, I really wanted to believe there was at least one IC Yanu was able to not suck at. Clearly I over-estimated them.

Tevin told ya'll, "once Hunter gets that ball in his hand, it's over." Tevin didn't even look a little stressed over Siga being in the lead.

I was thinking, "wait, wasn't Bhanu supposed to jump off the crate?" It's like that dude is TRYING to lose.

I feel like Siga might lose, only because they were the only tribe we weren't given an indication of who might be in trouble. We all know it's Bhanu if Yanu loses and the other tribe is clearly gunning for Soda.

Soda's talking too much and in Survivor that will make some people side-eye you.

Well Q has a lot more patience than me. I’m wondering if this dumb act of Bhanu’s is just an act.
I hope it is because that would at least be interesting and would make me respect the gameplay versus if he's just annoyingly shitty at the game.
Bless her heart, but I can't blame Kenzie for being fed up.

I can appreciate Q wanting to help Bhanu but I don't get why he's training him like he's preparing for a beauty pageant with the speech skills.
Because honestly, that may be what can help Bhanu since he keeps running off at the mouth oversharing and word vomitting.

Most of these players are superfans, not sure why girl whose name I still don't know, thought this plan was such a great one.
One or more of these players is bound to realize that the producers wouldn't plant a clue saying to dig where the clue was found and there'd be nothing.
Someone is going to figure that someone found the clue somewhere else and replanted it.

After reading the stuff about Bhanu actually being an actor who was in a commercial, I can't take him seriously anymore.
This doesn't surprise me even a little. There's a definitely a "performing for the camera" vibe about Bhanu.
Meanwhile Hunter is continuing to be miserable with all the camp singing.

Now of course, this probably means this is the one time their loser tribe wins an IC. Because the Bhanu vote is way too easy and obvious.

I think Tiffany's going to knock out Bhanu at this point.

Yup, called it. I knew Randen was going to be pulled because the Bhanu exit was being telegraphed too glaringly.

And sure enough, there goes Bhanu spilling...lol

Oh man, here comes the tears from Bhanu.

I love Tiffany's, "oh give me a break with this self-deprecation nonsense." Honestly, Yanu is big 'ol hot mess. No wonder they can't win shit.

Why do I have a feeling that no one will leave from Yanu because Randen will be removed from the game. I don't know, that dead arm sounds pretty serious to me.

Yeah, like I said, good luck Venus trying to convince that tribe to get rid of Hunter.

Jeff is so shady, "Yanu is not in last..." You know he wanted to add an, "for a change"
-
Venus' observation is not wrong but she'll never get the tribe to go for that, especially since many of them already don't care for her. Her trying to go after Hunter will likely only make them want to get rid of her quicker.
A Hunter blindside is best saved for when they merge because I can for sure see her being able to sell to the other players that he'd be a big threat in individual challenges and he's very nice and has too many friends, so he'd be a social threat.

Chile, I think Bhanu's losing it and it's becoming a little uncomfortable to watch.

S46.E05: "Tiki Man" LIVE CHAT
in Survivor
Of course the woman who keeps telling everyone she's not playing Survivor for the money because she doesn't need it, would casually decide to lay around and not look for the idol.
