God Eddie fucking sucks. Reynold fucking sucks. Mike sucks. Cochran sucks. Phillip is funny for about the first 5 minutes of each episode then super fucking sucks. Julia is a fucking nobody. Hope was a waste of space. Fan favorites Erik and Brenda are getting the most screwed edits (especially embarrassing considering they both go far and go out dramatically).

This season sucks.

erik and brenda's invisible edit is really bizarre in retrospect

especially brenda, given that her plotline with dawn is arguably the most important factor in the season's ending

@Peridiam

I just watched your "shocking winners" video. I feel the rage and hatred for Spencer all over again, listening to his arrogant-ass jury question.

So my question, Vis, since you seem to like Erik, is it a matter of if a juror gives a speech like that could actually potentially make a difference in who wins (Erik), you like it, but if they do it just to hype up an already obvious winner (David, Spencer, Jenn), you dislike it?

Don't get me wrong, I'm the same way. Just clarifying.

I'm sure that's part of it...but one of the reasons I like Erik is that his question came from a place of emotion, and he made no effort to hide that. But then you have David/Spencer playing into the producers' narrative of "big moves and strategy are the only way to play!" by shoving themselves into the spotlight to tell the jury to vote for the person way out in the lead as far as the jury's mindset goes. Jenn is almost more annoying, because at least with David/Spencer, they got beat by all the finalists. Jenn basically tells a jury of people, half of which weren't betrayed by Mike, to stop being bitter and vote for Mike, neglecting the fact that she herself was bitter towards Carolyn and Will.

I LIKE strategy. Strategy can liven up a season with great characters (see Kaoh Rong). I just hate when strategy becomes the basis of the season, rather than a garnish. And I hate when jurors get up on their soap box to insist that "strategic" winners deserve to win the jury vote just because they made big moves.

But on the same front weren't you the one who called JT a tryhard and that Stephen was more strategic and should have won Tocantins? Where it was JT whose social game was so strong that he basically had the other players brainwashed.

The problem here is that Coach was practically playing for JT to win. Not to a Sugar -> Bob extent, but all JT had to do was charm that one crazy man and he had it in the bag and did very little else.

But the truth is that in almost every single season, with MAYBE one or two exceptions, the winner is the person that the jury likes more, plain and simple, regardless of how they played.

I said JT was boring in Tocantins and a tryhard in HvV. Big difference in portrayals there.

Everyone was playing for JT to win Tocantins. Don't you remember the confessional where Brendan said "How can I get JT to win?"

He said if he cant win he would like to see JT win. Doesn't that play to JTs social game? Not that Brendan was there long enough to matter.

But yeah I agree with Vis, the M/M choices were terrible.

To be fair though, TAR's M/M casting lately has been very poor to say the least. The only one from the last 6 seasons that I would have bothered casting for this is Tanner & Josh. MAYYYBE Alex/Connor for being the best of the rest by a pretty wide margin.

As for an M/M Survivor team though, hot damn that's a bad choice. Here are some infinitely better alternatives from the last five years:
Domenick/Chris or Wendell
Devon/Ryan
Tai/Caleb or Troy
Keith/Wes
Tony/Woo or Spencer
Aras/Vytas

It won't. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is the last season unless the theme REALLY brings in the ratings (it won't if they keep it in its timeslot/as a Survivor off-season rush-delivery).

I have yet to see this much back and forward in a big brother season but the large haul of characters in this end game I'm not overly fond of. Like Janelle really doesn't play as well in 2018. I feel like other people would find her offensive like they were saying about Jess and Cody. And like most of them I dislike before I like them or I dont like them at all which isn't good either but it has had some good moments. It's still better than 3 and 5.

i was gonna come ask if there's an easy way to find RHAP episodes for previous seasons, like if I wanted to listen to the Know It Alls episode that corresponds to an episode of Game Changers or some other season. I'm watching Heroes vs Villains and thought it'd be fun to hear Rob's thoughts on each episode. I figured the KIAs might not have existed then but maybe Rob was podcasting already?

I opened the survivor page on the website and clicked last and the very first video is "Heroes vs Villains Premiere"

So I guess this will be pretty easy for that season at least...

I finished Big Brother 6. It was pretty good. I have it 3rd. I just not a player I overly loved in the season though.

2 > 4 >> 6 > 5 > 3

Favorite character from each season
Will > Danielle Reyes > The Dream Team / 3 Stooges > Drew > James/Janelle/Howie

The problem with the characters from big brother 6 is there are points where I really like them and then there are other times where I am like oh no please stop. So I think that is what made me like 4 better because I really like most of the cast but the final 2. I started episode 1 of All-Stars which is always exciting when binging because it always feels like what you were working for lol
