It wasn't a matter of them CHOOSING to place the spotlight on other people. Corrine not getting much airtime in the first few episodes until she randomly started getting used as Anti-Philip commentary around episode 4 is an example of someone being squeezed out of airtime because there's too many other people being focused on. Brenda was just being a literal zombie who one day woke up and fetched Dawn's teeth.
Also, Rob has said on his website that he knows for a fact that not only will Brenda ever do Survivor again, she also will not have any communication with him or anyone who wants to talk to her about anything Survivor related. She's washed her hands of it, so no one get their hopes up.
She wasn't bad on Nicaragua, but certainly not in the top tier of brilliant strategists that we have seen over the course of 30 seasons. #Overrated If anyone from Nicaragua needs to come back, it's Na'Onka.

Not you using Corrine of all people as a source. But yes, I heard what she said. There's no doubt in my mind that Brenda was quiet, but it's not like she was mute the entire time. I'm sure she had plenty of confessionals the editors could have used, but just chose not to. And yeah, I figured she wouldn't be coming back, even if they asked her.

Where was the lie? Did I not tell ya that Shirin was gonna alienate herself? Carolyn and Tyler were NAWT here for her at all in the last episode. As for Mike, the guy literally wrote his own name down for elimination.
Repent for your sins.

Those were all obvious though. I didn't disagree. I was just saying that Shirin may not be the boot if White Collar goes to tribal. Also, Mike isn't going anywhere any time soon. Trust and believe.

It did make her look spiteful, but it was entertaining as hell, so I couldn't have loved it more. Dawn was super annoying that season, anyway. That's exactly what I loved about Brenda. She was SMILING when others got the boot or received votes, but she couldn't deal when she got blindsided. But in her defense, she was never close to Andrea. There was no loyalty there. On the contrary, she thought she really had a connection with Dawn.

That was the best part of the Final Tribal Council tho. "Take out your teeth, DAWN!!"

Multiple people have said Brenda and Dawn weren't even that close, so I don't think it was justified at all.
Lex and Rob were good friends outside of the game and that kind of ruthless backstabbing wasn't as expected in Survivor as it is in newer seasons, so I think it was justified. If you'd asked me when I first watched the season I would have said he was just being a child but now I think if one of my good friends had backstabbed me I would feel very hurt and would probably react the same way. Either way, Rob got paid.
|
I think so too. I don't know why Brenda singled out Dawn and not the others.

I've seen right thru Josh, ha fake edit, and empress.Jaclyn always had something to say so I never wrote her of as irrelevant. Just because casuals have their 'Oh, CPP5, look, it's the winner' way of thinking, doesn't mean I have. tnx. 
Sierra.giantess may stir some **** up, but in the grand scheme of things, I believe she won't be relevant.
Emperor Mike-sama is coming like a dark horse, y'all ain't ready.
Jenn is giving me F3 loser vibes.

Komet, do you know what each of the edgic labels mean? I understand some of them but not all. And what do the numbers at the end designate?

Yes, here, lemme copy.
Step 1. After watching each episode, posters rate the players:
Ratings:
OTT (over the top)
CP (complex personality)
MOR (middle of the road)
UTR (under the radar)
INV (Invisible)
Step 2. Give their rating a Tone from Negative to Positive:
Tones range from: NN, N, neutral (no tone), P, PP (Rate players from Really Negative to Really Positive)
* M (Mixed) This is a special Tone designation. It is used when a player has both significant negative and significant positive scenes in one episode. It helps differentiate from the "nothing" (neutral) tone of a neglected character or the static neutral of a middle of the road or complex character. It shows active manipulation of a character, rather than a passive or neglected edit.
Note: If an edit contains minor P manipulation but a lot of N manipulation, then the rating is not Mixed, but Negative, as the N manipulation overwhelms the P (and vice versa). Very minor P & N manipulation is better recorded as a Neutral.
Step 3. Give each rating a Visibility count:
Visibility: 1 to 5
(From a low of 1 to a high of 5)
Warrior's Visibility Count Chart is a very useful tool in helping make a consistent, objective visibility count.
Those are really basics of the basics. 
Edit: Some explanations for ratings:
INV - Invisible
Definition: A character, within the episode, that is edited to be irrelevant or insignificant to any of the stories. In terms of story... they don't have one.
UTR - Under the Radar (Under Developed, Low-level Complexity)
Definition: A character, within the episode, that is edited to be either under-utilized or deliberately hidden (the trick is figuring out which). In story terms, they may have a role in the story but are being kept out of focus.
MOR - Middle of the Road (Mid-level Complexity)
Definition: A character, within the episode, that says and does more than a UTR edit, but is lacking in character development (ie. we still don't know anything about them or what makes them tick).
MOR edits are not oversimplified into OTT nor are they well-rounded into CP. In terms of story, these characters tend towards being a supporting character. This edit may contain "very strategic" moments, but without the emotional and intellectual insights necessary for a complex edit.
CP - Complex Personality (High-level Complexity)
Definition: A character, within the episode, that emerges as a "personality" that is well-rounded and well-developed (intellectually, emotionally, personally and strategic/game-wise). The editing has depth, we see their strengths and weaknesses, and their choices are presented to the audience so that we get an insight into their thinking.
In terms of story, these characters usually end up being major players in the story (game) and their choices end up shaping the overall, long-term story.
OTT - Over the Top
Definition: A character, within the episode, that is over-simplified or presented as a one-dimensional, one-note caricature. In terms of story, these characters are usually used to create drama and to distract us from the winner. They are the ones we love to love (the hero, the sweetheart) or the ones we love to hate (the villain, the buffoon, the arrogant jerk, the right-royal-beyotch).

Yeah, I feel you, Sierra.mazon is probably destined for a mid merge boot. I'm just kidding as I hate bottom 5 character court jester irritant and potential season ruiner Mike-baka. Although Jaclyn only had one confessional in the first four eps, so UTR goddesses Kelly and Sierra could still have an impact (obviously not as big an impact as the STAR of San Jaclyn Del Schulz, but impact nonetheless).
Jenn as a FTC loser makes sense, but I feel like she's getting 5th/6th place for some reason, though.
Can we observe that the Survivor Janitor has the lowest confessional count out of all the males hihihi. King Jaoquin even dragged him for it on twitter like he dragged Shirin in the episode. Ruthless queen.

Poor Max, the Survivor lunch lady, he probably thought he would win this. 
The co-star of San God Jes Sus, Jacyln.saintess (along with Natalie.goddessa) and her presence weren't in the confessionals, but in the councils. Those Emmy-worthy performances at early Coyopa Tribals. 
King Joaqueen is serving Courtney teas with so much shade.

So-sama will return to Survivor: Second Chances where she'll reach F2 with Dawson.angel, so I'm kinda okay.

Kii. The Survivor Cleaner probably spent hours rehearsing his confessionals too, huehuehue.
Jaclyn's ruthless slayage at the early tribal councils. I still can't quite believe she outlasted the entire Coyopa tribe. Queen.
So's boot was more the fault of the White Collar tribe's sexism ("we've all decided a girl should go first as they're weaker'") than Jaoquin; her terrible lie too. Although she actually shared the truth about the clue choice with Shi.wrinkles, who sided against her anyway in favour of the Survivor Groundskeeper and the 40 year old virgin.

nn; even after all those rehearsals, Survivor school nurse had 0 confessionals this last ep. hihihi
Don't do Tyler tew much now, it's not his fault he didn't came out yet and is afraid to get the D.
(I'm low key rooting for Tyler actually, he seems like a cool guy tbh)
Shirin.asylum.esapee.godessa has been embarrassing this last ep, hopefully she gets better after swap and matches pre-show expectations, she needs to step it up tbh.

I don't remember Lex's speech that well, I haven't seen that season in a while, but I think Brenda was justified. It was nice to see her come out of her coma and interact with others like a real human, plus Dawn was annoying.
