Love the game! Just one question: if we bet, say 30 points that a tribe wins the next reward challenge and we're correct, do we gain 30 points or 60 points? So, do we get our wagered 30 back and also add 30, or get our 30 back and add 60 because 60 is double 30?

Whew, awesome swap episode but first--

The Blue Collar Tribe

Rodney needs to die violently, preferably crushed to death by one of Sierra's horses, and Dan is a mess. So disappointed that Mike and Kelly sided with Rodney but I quite like them nonetheless. How dare they come for Sierra at camp. As stupid as they are ugly. Sierra her breakout revenge plot better culminate in her slaying them tbh nn rise, queen, rise, let the spirit of giantess misogynist slayer feminist overlord bottom of the tribe to top finisher of the tribe Jaclyn g.oddess USE you mother.

Right, on to NuNagarote.



The Survivor PTA Member and Shi.wrinkless getting mercilessly raked over hot coals for the whole episode then getting blindsided ffff. "Hold up, bro" "...the tribe has spoken." kkkkk SLAY me. Carolyn and Jenn in general are just incredible nnn. I just... ugh, queens. If Carolyn doesn't make it deep I'll be devastated, she's perfection. With that being said, not the Survivor School Dance Chaperone literally being USED, ABUSED, HUMILIATED and EMOTIONALLY SPENT by some snarky valley girls, a fat black man and a sassy hispanic hag, whoo Lord, I'm going to get some mileage out of this one in the quiet hours.

This post.

If you bet 30 you win your 30 back plus another 30.

So you win 60

[Stevie]

Okay, that makes sense.

[Iman]

If you get it wrong, do you lose points? Also, when is the deadline?

If you get it wrong you lose the points you bet.

You have until the next episodes airs to submit.

The double ep's are really confusing, plus there's been a swap, so I'm not sure about some, esp. Jenn's and Hali's ratings, and winner contenders except Mike, whose solid. no.1, but here's my chart:

Gag me with that Mike prediction

Hopefully he grows on me because at the moment I can't stand him.

Sorry boo, he may not win, but he's here to stay. Last BC standing, definitely.
I think that we can eliminate Joaqking, Shirin, Rodney and Dan pretty easily. Will, Sierra and Carolyn have some shot, but very slim.

The rest I could see winning, some have bigger flaws than other, of course, but yeah - Hali, Jenn, Joe, Kelly, Mike, Tyler (Although I'm not really feeling his Kim Spardlin-esque edit, esp. with so many big characters and players around; merge boot maybe??)

[Boop]

In what universe is Mike positive? His willingness to hard working made him look like a fool by his tribemates. He's cocky, he's arrogant and he just overdo anything.

I would say that Joaquine's editing has been very interesting. Joe also, now they are "hiding" him, probably to make him explode after the merge?

[Komet blu]

Re: Mike, yes, those were the two episodes with 'Mixed' tone, that you are talking about, where he argued with Lindsay/Rodney, but we always got to hear his side, and we're constantly shown that he is right (that 'just say ''Im sorry.'' convo with Dan for example).
For edgic, it's not about the situation, it's about how is that situation edited and presented to us, and Mike is doing really well in that department as of now.



Joaqueen, ha edit is like a blueprint for MOR, slightly negative mid-jury guy. I just hope his alliance with Rodney won't sent him home earlier.
Joe's past two eps kinda concern me. Usually, when looking at past winners, with the ones that are prominent at the beginning, ala him, there's some cool-down before the merge with lower visibility, but this has been maybe a bit too much of it. He practical wasn't there in Ep5, except for some mentions in challenges. We'll see tho.

I get what you mean. But I'm not sure. Unless the Dan/Sierra situation is going to be the first exemple of how Mike is "rude but right, afterall" I would't think it that way. I think that the situation in episode 2-3 should have been cooled down and left out from the recaps.

Unless, again, the storyline is intended to be "Mike is rude, his manners aren't right but he proved to be right all the time". But atm I don't see him winning. More like a satisfaction boot.

[Komet blu]

That's the thing, in recaps, which became totally biased and manipulated in this new era smh Probst, here's what's been said:

At BC, hard work has been taking its toll.
Mike in camp - I'm not trying to be dick, but we all need to get up and do something.
In confessinal: There's stuff to be done out here; we have to survive.

At BC tribe it was all work and no play.
- Lindsay screaming about fire
- Rodney thorwing those logs
Mike in confessional: This Blue Collar tribe is failing.

All the negativity about Mike was basically taken away, and he's been given the 'voice of reason/true BC guy' role. Considering how they hammered us with that Collar theme this season, Lindsay's 'winner is on this mat' and how the 'BC is a hard-working, unified tribe' was highlighted at the tribal even tho we saw nothing of that except for one person, all signs point at Mike, who stayed true to his collar.

There's also Kelly, whose been left out of this whole negativity, but her edit has bigger issues than his.

How do you determine someone's overall rating for the season? Like, for people like Nina and Will who aren't getting the same type of edit every episode.

Maybe I should figure out how to do the single episodes first.

Ovarall rating is basically your own view on overall character. You look what rating some got the most, what tone, and how do you remember someone. It is based on what you've been giving them in eps, but is also arbitrary.

For example, someone put Nina as CP in both 2nd and 3rd ep, so for them Nina would be CP overall. (I disagree tho.)

Deciding about Will based on what we have now would be mess cuz it's all over the place. As the season goes, it get's clearer. For example, at this point in SJDS, Natalie would've been just MOR, when in the end she was CPP; Reed was basically invisible, but more stuff later on pushed him up for MOR overall, some even argued about CP.
So basically, a lot of stories are not told and done yet, but when someone get voted out, their's probably will be, so getting an overall rating should be easier.

Oh, got it! Thanks.

There should be video lessons on this, lol.

I'd probably put Nina as OTT overall. If she had gotten her revenge, it would've been CP imo.

[Komet blu]

I put Nina as MOR and not OTT, because even tho her character wasn't really complex, it wasn't one dimensional and over-simplified either.

I'm loving the editing this season, and *loving* all the negative and mixed tones.

[Chamoy]

receives an extreme amount of personal character development. Their personality is highlighted strongly and is the central focus of their footage

OTT characters are entertaining and are often the "scene-stealer" or the "drama-maker" for the episode. The story for the episode "revolved" around this character, at least partially. most likely received SPV from other players; SPV was used to reinforce the OTTness and the SPV was extreme or underscored the actions of the player in question.

This sounded like Nina to me. Plus it also said they're the ones you love to love. I completely overlooked the caricature/one dimensional stuff. Oops.

[Komet blu]

Well she was that, but also she had a some amount of strategic confessionals. After MOR, edit can go to eiter CP, if it gets complex, or either OTT if continues to be overly one-dimensional, basically a caricature, what I believe she was not.
Just middle of the road.

[Stevie]

I like edgic but it's too arbitrary. These would be my winner potential rankings:

Frontrunner: Mike.
Other main contenders: Hali, Kelly, Joe.
Very slim chance: Will, Jenn, Sierra, Joaquin.
No chance: Rodney, Dan, Shirin, Tyler, Carolyn.

All of the negativity surrounding Mike completely evaporated in the past two episodes, though.
