  1. YES! ^^this^^. It's not him being weepy/feeling sorry for himself/thinking he's god's chosen alone that bugs. In total context, it's his quick trigger to crazed fury that makes me dislike him, not merely sideye him. More Bhanu is the last thing I want.
  2. 3 episodes in and I have had zero fun. No one for whom to root. Weepy Bhanu is already bugging the ever-living hell out of me. Gonna go back to watching S11 of the Australian Survivor; a much better show than S45 & thus far, S46, of U.S.
  3. As a new show watcher (S45 was literally the first time I've ever watched even a single episode of Survivor): is it typically like this where one tribe is treated like a rented mule, losing all the time, and thus we don't get to see/evaluate members of the other tribes? ---- OT: it's weird for me to say, again, as a new watcher, that, based on a couple comments I've seen about the AU Survivor show, over the last few days I have binged fifteen (15 !!!) episodes of season 11. YMMV and all that, but I soooooo much prefer the AU version.
  4. Yeah, I fully admit my bias in favor of Challengers, especially the mainstays like CT, and I am trying hard to have empathy, but I just can't get there and feel bad for MJ. She was a floater; she didn't do much of anything but hang with her fellow network friends; she contributed very little to the prize $$. Upthread I probably wasn't sufficiently precise in my evaluation?, I guess, of how the final votes/stalemate played out. As far as how CT handled it: he did exactly as he was I indicating in his talking heads, I think. He made it pretty clear (to me) that Trishelle was the only person he fully trusted, and whether it made objective sense or not, it didn't matter who the third person was: he was gonna vote them out if he could.
  5. As an observer of CT for close to two decades, I can say that, ohhh, 10? years ago, I'd 100% agree that he played the end that way purely in order to take more $$$. However, the CT I've observed the second decade? I believe him when he says he wanted to vote MJ simply because Trischelle was sincerely the only player he fully trusted and just wasn't gonna take the chance on MJ.
  6. Liz (I think?) really loves herself some Liz, huh? Hubris runs especially high this season... between her and Jelinsky, lots of, uhhhhhh, confidence.
  7. Heh, the prize pot would be significantly smaller were it not for CT, so yeah, for me, based on that plus his ability to reason through things (something we Challenge fans have seen form him), he deserves the win. I just hope it's not a Bravo-lebrity.
  8. Jelinsky might be the sweetest guy in the world, with an awful edit. However, all I'm able to see is delusions of grandeur. What exactly is he good at other than convincing himself he's a legend in the making? I'm just glad I don't have to think about it going forward.
  9. I preface this by saying, yes, I know...sometimes I can be an asshole, but Soda is gonna get on my last nerve if she keeps up with the sing-along stuff. Seriously. It's gonna take me a while to find someone to back in this, only my second season of watching this show.
  10. I've been looking ahead to S40 for what seems to be an eternity. 39 is in my rearview, and I don't plan to ever think of it again. Just piling on, but Berna....please, do not come back. Talk about unenjoyable television...she is the epitome of that.
  11. ^^^Huh, I just realized I'm more or less the same, hahaha. I'm kinda sorta rooting for Nurys, but only due to the competition; I range from dislike to utter lack of interest in the non-Nurys finalists. TBC: I'm not even, per se, a "fan" of Nurys. It's just that the others are soooooo unlikable/uninspiring/boring as fuck. Man, what a heel turn for me. I started this season thinking "hey, it'll be good for some fresh blood; a new champion." Guess I veered way too hard into the "the OGs are getting long-in-the-tooth and very predictable" lane. I'm surprised I miss the old-time regulars as much as I do. I sincerely thought I was ready to move on....but if S39's crop of Challengers is the best alternatives, fuck that. Give me more of the old Challengers. The new ones suck ass for the most part.
  12. Cool....Jay is out; Corey was good for something. Barring a miracle Nurys win, I just can't feel at all hyped any of the others.
  13. Reading this thread has given me enough about what happened. I might watch an (unofficial) Youtube recap vid, but no desire to watch any more episodes. I can't believe, what?, about a millennia ago, I was actually kinda-sorta excited about this season...or at least the idea of it. Now? I'm thinking ahead to S40. Jay's probably gonna win, and he is not a champion that I can celebrate.
  14. Admittedly, my reality tv bona fides are relatively lacking, but Dan is the most mehhh "legend" I've ever seen on a screen. YMMV obviously, but "underwhelmed" would be an understatement.
