Board 8 > Survivor HHH Discussion Topic 1: IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE GAME! (Also, BB19/TAR30)

(+) Yeah! (+)

FUCK YEAH cas
---

So Ashley's fucked, right?
---

Probably
---

Ashley's only chance is to get people to vote Alan, i think. but that can only happen if Chrissy reveals the idol ahead of time.
---

preseason press people didnt like her cause she never smiled, maybe that plays a part if it's her?
---

Ashley seems pretty generic.

Think I like Heroes the least.
---

I'd say JP is more generic than Ashley. I had him ranked as my second-least favorite pre-show castaway.
---

dig the art direction here
---

Seriously though, why IS Chrissy on this tribe?
---

"He had JP strip off his clothes last night."

Suddenly Jeff wishes he'd been at the Heroes camp.
---

cause tribe designations don't matter
---

Ashley, idol not played
---

i failededed
---

wait what
---

Lol didn't even use it. Gonna be gone next.
---

Womp womp

Goodbye idol twist
---

Well that twist was a complete flop. Did Katrina even get a confessional this episode?

She had 1.
---

on one hand, I am for giving the finger to all these stupid advantages

on the other hand, not using it here seems extremely bad
---

Only an hour premiere. Soooo....yeah. see y'all next week!
---

That was one of the more bullshit first boots ever. Can't even remember her confessional, no real reason for targeting her other than "old woman", completely overshadowed by unnecessary drama between Alan and Jash.
---

Yeah that episode was terrible as a whole.
---

Nah it was pretty decent
---

I thought it was decent to good.
---

one of the most forgettable premieres ever. I feel somewhat optimistic about the rest of the season though, no one seems obnoxious. It'll be at least as good as MvGX probably

I'd put MvGX in my bottom 15 but it was still good television.
---

Man that premiere was disappointing.
---

I thought the episide was aggressively average.
---

Inviso take the tinfoil hat off for once. They didn't just GIVE Ryan the idol and it didn't even matter!

Side note: that Premeire fell flat for everyone right? I feel like I walked away knowing nothing after watching that.
---

Will you be better racers than Big Brother players?

Graf: In Big Brother, we weren't ever given a fighting chance after Cody's HOH. I can't imagine this cast being equally a pack of scared little girls. I'm hoping we're competing against people who appreciate good competitors.

Nickson: A girl with a broken foot won a sprinting competition on BB19. Yes, there will be better racers on Amazing Race.

---

I never said it was rigged. I just hated that the most aggressively "quirky" character in the cast who might otherwise get booted first managed to get his hands on the (eventually useless) God Idol.
---

1. alan
2. chrissy
3. joe
who cares
17. ryan
18. mike
---

The only person I came away from the episode disliking was Ryan. I feel like the premiere needs more time. I walked away feeling like I learned nothing lol

This is EXACTLY how I felt.
---

Well, I can't say that wasn't out of the blue and unexpected. But...I also can't say that seemed to make sense or like it was satisfactory at all.

I am still trying to figure out what happened. This is why the premiere needs to be 90 minutes. It establishes so much more that way - and we got nothing. While it was a decently entertaining premiere, it gave us almost no information and we barely got to meet over half the cast.

How am I going to write about this one? xD
---

i prefer 90 minutes with 1 boot even over 2 hours, 2 episodes back to back
---

that was really underwhelming

a lot of seasons start slow and end up fine but uh, yikes, please don't be this bad next week
---

Alan -> good for tv
Ashley -> meh
JP -> like
Chrissy -> like
Ben -> meh
Katrina -> sad we lost out on crazy

Ryan -> annoying
Ali -> like
Simone -> no airtime :(
Patrick -> like
Devon -> meh
Lauren -> not enough airtime

Roark -> like
Jessica -> not enough airtime
Tony Jr. -> good for tv
Cole -> mild dislike
Mike -> mild dislike
Desi -> no airtime :(
---

Tribal council started and I was distracted for like 2mins and then the super idol didn't played and I was like wait wtf and then there was some other show on.

Edit also shit Roark is a girl? I was surprised about that, never seen that name before except pokemkn and iirc that was a dude so I thought this one was too O_O

Is the opening theme I saw on YouTube legit? It sounded weird and not like HD and it got downvotes... but it had a lot of percussion timed exactly on its scenes which fanmade shit can't do usually.
---

I felt like the idol turned out pretty well. It wasn't used to directly influence events, but it had some good impact. The weasel used it really well for himself. First, he reeled in a strong looking competitor in his tribe to work with. Second, he chose a good person to disrupt the tribal council tribe to give the idol to. He gave it to the puking girl to cause the likely attempt to vote her off to fail and potentially get someone strong out. Despite having such limited information about that tribes dynamics, his plan looked like it was really gonna work out and Jash or Alan coulda went home. It's too bad Chrissy decided not to protect Katrina. But oh well. I think his attempt and intention were sound.

It seemed like everybody here hates him for some reason. I'm not sure why. He seems like great TV.

Probably not. Here's the real one, which for some reason I couldn't find on YouTube:

Also, I don't dislike Ryan. In fact, I find him to be ripe with entertainment.

I don't keep up with the houseguests on social media or anything, but I gotta say I am curious as to how the cast of BB is reacting to watching themselves. Have anything of them spoken out after rewatching the show?

From how I heard the reaction to them was, I wouldn't be surprised if they opted not to watch themselves.

I don't know if anyone has been watching the show yet, if ever. There's been a whole lot of denial about their actions from Paul, Christmas, and Alex though.

Surprisingly not from Raven - she just doesn't acknowledge any hate and continues to say delusional things.... like that she's cast in Celebrity Big Brother!
---

I wonder if Celebrity Big Brother will be played for Charity, so any "vets" of Big Brother can't actually win the money at the end?
