  1. Pretty obvious none of the contestents had been exposed to or ever given thought to the military. I do think this kind of challenge can be a bit of a trap. Its either too costumey, too uniform or not enough. Still none of these look remotely inspired by military, It was a big let down creatively in general
  2. Sort of a weird thing to put out. Why 50% black? Is the US 50% black? Are they going to cast by percentages including gender an age? Would LOVE to see Native Americans included.
  3. I mostly scrolled on my phone till the EoE part. Ben, Michelle, whatever, just shifting tgts. Tony and Sarah are the only two interesting to me, Denise says she has all these moves done and I guess so but I can't even remember them. I do like her ok. Still like the EoE players and their games far better. This season just doesn't hold my interest. If Natalie wins her way back in and doesn't win I will be sooooo pissed. I will only be slightly less pissed if she doesn't win because she isn't in final 3. Were she to make final 3 and not win? No.
  4. I just dont think EoE players have the same chance of winning as a play to the end person. Natalie has played so hard, I would have loved to see her play against Tony.
  5. Being lazy I'm sorry. The spoilers that Tony doesn't win, - who does in his place?
  6. Winners at War Winner: Most boring episode of Survivor ever. Partly because its been a boring season. There are barely alliances, names get thrown out all day and then without us even hearing why, they change with all the whispering at TC. Whats there to watch?
  7. I can't help but wonder. If you were like Yul and running the numbers, what are your chances of getting off EoE and what are your chances of winning if you do? Sandra figured, pretty low and so left. Now Pavarti might be feeling the same so why starve. But why not leave? I wonder if Sandra brokered her leaving beforehand. In a comment I got the impression that Probst not only knew she would leave but that she would never be back, she is done. Perhaps everyone else is "strongly encouraged" to stay. Of course having bought the peanut butter, that doesn't mean she couldn't sell it to someone for a token if she really needs one for something.
  8. Oh the scriptedness of Sugar Bear and whats her face showing up in California. I get the feeling that we are going to see a lot of whats her face, Sugar Bear, other people, because June still isn't found? Is she actually going to be on the show other than being chased through a parking lot? Like Dody's new teeth though yes they are too bright. Better than before for sure.
  9. I'm in, I'll watch the whole season for sure. But I am a bit underwhelmed. The first challenge was a retail garment and if not haute coutre something new and fancy. Yea sort of blah. Especially the fancy. I couldn't even tell which was supposed to be which with a few of the designers. So the second challege is a no kidding we want haute coutre and...the only thing that came remotely close I thought was the donut hole. When I think haute coutre I think unwearable art that is used for inspiration. Some of the retail stuff has been nice but nothing that great. I wonder if because these guys have been in the industry, designing for others or customers, that they don't really know how to be really original or take it there. Even the Italian guys stuff was, backless with droopy thing, seen it on red carpets a thousand times. Project Runway made me a fan of Klum. Here she is irritating, like she's trying too hard. And the music is fine but way overbearing. And the woman who was the French Vogue editor? I just....cant....give her any credibility with those smudged eyebrows. Honey I know that one model made them a thing but you wouldn't wear a dress that made your body type look like a cow would you? Dial them down a notch at least. Or not at all would be better.
  10. I can tell how good a season is (for me) by how many times I forget its on. I'm a pretty die hard fan and when I realize 30 minutes in that its on I know the season feels sort of blah to me. I love the old time players but they seem checked out (except maybe Sandra). Especially Boston Rob. Standing around with his little circle on a string game. Paravati hanging on the beach. Then I think there is the "we know what the survivor producers want to see from us" like Tony, who I find entertaining, giving us the spy shack again. The buddy system. Why do I feel like they got some producer telling them - make sure you remind people of what you did, who you are or something. I know everyone wanted an all winners season but for me it hasn't turned out. I mean its a fair season on its own, but not the wowee winners season. Why the old timers have all this "they are such a huge threat" reputation makes it unfair. It also makes me think that many of the new players realize their wins were duds. Michelle, Wendell (given his by #3), Ben. Weak winners and they seem to see themselves and each other as such. We can only win against other weak winners, vs. Hey let me work with Parvati! I'll give Adam and Nick and Sophie, they at least contemplated working with an old schooler. I get the impression that Rob and Parvati, who both said they would never come back, never. Got a phone call like, "Hey I know you said you wouldn't come back but you owe Survivor, you owe us, come back and we won't ask again." Lots of pressure. I hope Denise's move bites her. Not because I love Sandra so much although she certainly has grown on me bit by season, but because I think its not the smartest move so much as she was trying to win a place on the "players who made big memorable moves in their season" list and now I'm a famous Survivor player.
  11. Well I'm not happy that the old schoolers will all be gone for essentially the second half. I find them much more enjoyable tv than the new schoolers.
  12. Exactly how I see Rob. He hasn't been that engaged the whole season. Stands around swinging his little game thing, doing the minimum and seeming really irritated. I really don't think he wanted to play again. If it wasn't for Sarah he might have tried a different strategy by trying to bring someone else in or work with the other two but Sarah really had it out for him so he didn't have much choice. I think he knew he was going and there wasn't much he could do about it.
  13. So the Buddy System would refer to Rob and his win right? Like Rob is on a new tribe and tries to get an alliance to stick to the buddy system. I can't see that going down very well. There is speculation that Sarah can't stand Rob, and she has been on a tribe with Sandra. So, if the 3 end up on the same tribe...bye bye Rob? Saw a picture on Reddit that had Wendell and I think Michelle with blue buffs. People still thinking Tony for the win, Michelle and Natalie F3 or F4. If not Tony then Michelle, which would make that comment of Robs to Michelle about "if you win you win" seem prophetic. Some discussion about twitter and instagram friends, made me wonder about EoE and Tokens. Say Parvati goes to EoE and really likes Michelle, she could really support her with all her fire tokens etc. that she might get. Like players still in the game have more than just random help but a real sponsor and that could really influence the game
  14. I think most spoilers don't have Rob making it to the merge so I'm thinking the tribe swap does not go his way, or maybe any of the old timers way since they all seem to get picked off pre merge. Was it Michelle that seemed to end up away from all her known's?
  15. So sad, I love Rob, would love to see him make it to the merge
  16. Still waiting for that tribe swap. If its going to happen it has to happen soon right? 20 to 16, merge is usually....12? Do they do swaps a few TCs before the merge? I wasn't on reddit very long looking for info, I find it very confusing but I found this It actually says 15/16. Tyson 15/16. Rob Lots of reddit arguing about the several people spoilering and whether they have any credibility or not is mostly what I saw, lots of speculation, not so much spoilers. Possible Nat/Michelle/Tony F3. But I haven't seen a mention of Nat winning and based on so far I'd say she is playing harder than anyone. Sandra and Tony as King and Queen two time winners? No. Hope its Natalie but the "spoilers" seem to support Tony
  17. Still looking for where Ben talked about who he might want to play with but yea, his friendships with Ethan and Adam probably weren't as strong as Ethan and Adams to each other. Or at least Ethan's to Adams? https://www.click2houston.com/entertainment/2020/02/26/survivor-ethan-zohn-says-it-wasnt-a-smart-decision-to-return-for-winners-at-war-exclusive/ Excerpts But I wanted to also tap into the new school world so I needed to align with someone who had played more recently than I did, which was a lot. If you look at how they split up the people they asked back, only six were considered old school, prior to season 20, and 14 had played post, in the new school era. I knew I wanted to be with some new school and old school. That was my strategy going in. Going into the game, I knew that if I was aware of folks that were really good friends, it was someone I needed to keep an eye on... if they were friends outside of the game. But I didn't really have many pre-existing bonds going into this. I knew Parvati; I was friends with. I hadn't talked to Rob since 2010, 10 years. Amber, more than that. Tyson, I never talked to. Danni, I had talked to once in my life. I think I was in a little bit of a disadvantage going into the game without knowing anyone. Like I said, it goes back to new school players, they all hang out. That definitely is a positive for them going into this game. Was there anyone that you specifically wanted to play with? I had done my research and I knew that Adam was a superfan and he's Jewish, his mom had cancer. I felt like we could have a good bond together. He was new school, so when I saw him on the beach, I was excited because I felt like I could kind of leverage his fanboy over the other players and maybe even myself because I had read I was one of his favorite players. Here I am, I'll use that to my advantage, right? I was excited to see him.
  18. Ah, havent read all the posts but I just remembered in the beginning interviews Ethan? was quoted as saying that he Ben and Adam were tight. Or one of those three said that. Michelle and Jeremy wanting to "stick it Adam" Na na Na na to prove something or send some sort of message (wtf?) doesn't make sense to me at all. There had to be another reason. Neither does not voting out Parvarti, def bigger threat, easier vote to go along with, just lie to Rob which they ended up doing anyway, all they had to do was say yea, Adam. But if taking out Ethan weakens the Adam, Ben, Ethan trio and a possible Rob, Ethan Adam, Parv 4 some, now its starting to make sense. Because I don't really see Ethan as that big a threat. It was just that he was essentially seen as in two alliances. Maybe this was obvious but I had to process it myself 🙂 In a tribe swap, the only old schooler to ally with Rob, Parv is Tyson? No one knows Yul and Rob is mad at Sandra and Sandra is mad at Rob. Who else is friends with who?
  19. So this vote makes perfect sense to you.......care to elaborate why Ethan was a better vote? Probsts hall of fame worthy episode hype, nope
  20. I dont think Ive understood one vote off this season except maybe Amber. Parvati was all lined ip, why complicate it? Only rhing I can think of is Michelke and Jeremy have an alliance with her.....but Rob is in the dark? Etan has some suoer strong alliance that might come up in the merge? Its still team immunity, vote out the small and weak, Parv. Not tgat shes not good at challenges, just not big and strong. Its all so weird, every vote Natalie, she is playing HARD. Impressuve
  21. I think I read that Probst was hyping this episode. Of course he does that a lot. Werent there spoilers of a tribe swap at 17?
  22. Agreed for sure. I love all the old schoolers except Parvati and so far I don't hate her yet. But I'm flip flopping back and forth on whether those two are (1) playing really badly and/or (2) just don't really care so much anymore. I feel like they were both arm twisted into returning and maybe their lack of enthusiasm is taking the edge off. They are acting so complacent, like they aren't even trying. Is that editing? To give an excuse for when they get voted out, probably pre-merge? Rob taking time to sort puzzle pieces seemed so like....oh those guys will never solve it we have plenty of time. Either that or he thought they were so far ahead the only way to win was to be fast when at some point they got really stuck. And to not be doing what Ethan is doing, trying to draw in new schoolers when you are so low in the numbers. Are they acting for production? Making a big deal out of old vs new for the editors? I'm just flummoxed. They are out out out. So sad. I love BR! I think maybe Adam said something to put Rob's focus on him while Denise tried to figure out what to do with her idol. And what did Rob mean when he said I know what I needed to know? Either Adam is a threat because he won't be led and/or was saying something because he has an idol, or he saw Denise furtively trying to manage her bag. In several scenes he questioned if/who had an idol. He seemed pretty convinced and wants to know. Tony, can you imagine being stopped by him for a ticket? Would he give you the 15 minute rundown on why he stopped you, life lessons on choices, and all the reasons he either gave you a warning or a ticket. Motoring his mouth a mile a minute. What would it like to be his partner day after day? Is he the one that is always jumping the bad guys? Like when you don't even need to? I can just see him constantly jumping out of the patrol car, I'll get him! I forgt a donut! Just constant
  23. Well its not Rob, Parv or ethan ubless they dont go to tribal before a the tribe split which will be...next week?
  24. Want there a spoiler about michelles alliance blowing up the otjer alliance? Cuz I feel like I just sae it except the old timers blew up their own game. that was it right there. Why would the old timers take themselves down in the numbers? Now Michelle et all can pick them off
