Board 8 > Survivor Discussion Topic 2: At the Edge of Extinction

(+) Yeah! (+)

his later tweets are pretty defensive about the idea that he's "mean to all castaways, regardless of gender", so it does seem like it's the direct insult everyone thinks it is

But being mean is only really acceptable when it accompanies another positive attribute, like comedy or effectiveness. this is just meanness for no reason other than to hurt Christy. pretty damn stupid that he's proud of himself.
---

Randy Bailey he is not.
---

Like, Jesus Christ, I've been hating on Rick, but if I add social media shit into the equation, Wardog has been, BY FAR, the worst character of the whole fucking season.
---

Yeah, Rick definitely tries a little too hard to funny on the show, but he doesnt actually seem like a bad guy.

Wardog is straight up garbage.
---

i mean, rick was kinda a dick about it to ron and julie

Wardog was good TV - a compelling and complex villain who got a delightful comeuppance.

Wardog on social media is insufferable and I will promptly unfollow him after the season has concluded.

So I'm almost finished with BB12 and spoiler to anyone who has been following my watch the Brigade is going to be my top favorite character from this season. They are hilarious, dynamic, and the best combination of good game play and personality at this point with maybe with the exception of All-Star chill town but even then Mikey Boogey was kinda douchey. Like the renegades were really good and I liked Memphis but I feel like Dan carried that.

But the problem I was having picking the brigade as a whole is that now my list is more of a generic list of groups than particular players because I did it with the Dream Team, The Renegades, Victor/Paul, and I couldn't decide between multiple people in BB6 and BB1. Should I force myself to pick a brigade member?
---

Is bb12 worth watching as a whole, would i need any prerequisite seasons to watch it, and would i miss anything not having live freds?

Honestly, BB12 is probably THE season where the episodes are head and shoulders better than the live feeds. Its a garbage season, but at least the Diary Rooms offer some personality.

I didn't expect to like BB12 but I have really enjoyed it and that is despite not being able to stand Rachel (which I am well aware that 13 is gonna be long for me then). I love the Brigade but Enzo especially just kills me. You don't mess with the meowmeow
---

BB12 is good with just the episodes. Better with just the episodes really. 13 newbies, lotta personality, gameplay is pretty weak from everyone outside the Brigade.

Its like a better version of BBCAN7.
---

Obviously why im asking
---

I definitely wont be watching Survivor and TAR live this week. In fact the earliest I will likely get a chance to watch them is Saturday morning.

Spoilers for Survivor 16: Fans vs Favorites.

Also, we learn how much MORE of a badass Parvati really was.

Edit: Omg, he even drew the art at the end! So good!
---

Wow. I can't recall the last time I heard a GG confessional more blatant than Aurora's.
---

Ben is that you
---

Oy.
---

God this is fucking bullshit.
---

Lauren why did you walk away :(
---

Can anybody say Rick Driebergen?

It's not bullshit, that was not a cheapy.
---

It's not bullshit because I'm claiming it's rigged or anything. I just hate how it's a viable strategy now for a shitty player to just find idol after idol and stick around.
---

Okay yeah that makes sense. Lauren should have pulled an Andrea though.
---

I will say...I like the individual reward challenges. The interpersonal drama of having to pick people/leave people behind is so much more interesting than just randomly selecting teams and having them pretend to strategize together because they're isolated from the tribe as a whole.
---

But then why would the jury be terrible enough to vote for rick
---

Great luxury items
---

You already won. Story closed
---

This is a weird segment
---

Vis! Character moments!! Maybe a redeeming factor for this episode.

Also, Kelley not reading her's not reading her's that's a good sign. Or perhaps all of the losers are being shown?
---

XD Chris

I can't believe he wandered out to a random rock to read his letter.
---

Even Reem agrees this is weird!
---

Ron didnt read his either.
---

Rick is SUCH a fucking tryhard...
---

Lool aurora
---

this isnt an endurance challenge whats going on here
---

I feel like Aurora gonna win this challenge now lol
---

Looool victoria
---

Lol Jesus.

Highlight :444

This is the same shit that ruined HHH, and HHH was actually DECENT going into the final few episodes.
---

Sad aurora is sad
---

The difference between this and HHH even I'm over Rick. He's the worst of the Holloway, Driebergen arctype
---

I would like to reiterate that if this show is no longer bringing you joy, as someone with OCD tendencies, dont let this addiction beat you, there are so many other better shows/games/movies out there.
---

Oh please. Even if Rick is the clear cut winner I love too Survivor too much not to watch.
---

stockholm syndrome
---

Lol don't put that evil on me.
---

im feeling a gavin win, with a rick vote out with triumphant fallen hero music
---

lauren's eye rolls are top tier
---

I feel like they only show Lauren to roll her eyes lol
---

guessing he doesnt play it and julie goes out
---

RIP
