so i just caught up with the topic. imo it's still backdooring even if the target plays in the veto and loses.

I see it as a possible backdoor attempt if the target could potentially not play in the veto, even if randomly drawn.

I wonder if some of the Bayleigh/JC issue was that she was missing some of his words through his accent, and thus didn't get the full message he was trying to say. I know without subtitles I wouldn't catch everything he says, but then again after being in the house with him for four weeks I'd probably have acclimated to it. It just seemed like she wasn't really catching on to many of the points he was trying to make.

There's a difference between a backdoor and an attempted backdoor. You've never even watched BB so you might not realize this.

It doesn't take a month to get used to someone's accent. This is just her being hypocritical and knowing she'll be treated as if she's in the right for the TV audience.

That whole thing looked bad on both of them imo. JC was trying to make a point and Bayleigh was trying to make it personal and ignoring the point. At the same time, when JC approached her later, he was misremembering events and accused her of asking "are you a midget or a dwarf" (benefit of the doubt on him as just not remembering her choice of words) to which she rightfully called him out, as that is not how she phrased her question. Both of them should have been less reactionary and thought harder about what to say before saying it. Bayleigh's question was worded in a way that was insensitive enough to warrant a less than sensitive response, but JC should absolutely have just said "the n word" instead of using the actual word. They were both in the wrong, but I feel like they did a decent job of talking it out and both could have done MUCH worse, so if the beef is squashed and they've resolved things and moved on with more of an understanding of one another, all is good as far as I'm concerned.

I just feel like neither of them initially understood how offensive the term they used was to the other, and while it got really uncomfortable for a bit they resolved the conflict surprisingly well.

And it was especially smart of them to resolve it that night rather than let it fester and try to resolve it the next day or even later.

Yeah, was definitely good to resolve it. Ideal communication was not had, but they did their best and it worked out, even if they both looked a bit foolish in the process. BB seemed to make a big deal of it ahead of time though, so maybe some viewer-baiting happened tbh

Was that you who wrote the article about contacts on Survivor? I've always wondered that. Not whether they were allowed, I knew that for a long time. But what the process was.

Nope - all that was done by a different Andy (Dehnart, I mean). Wasn't me who suggested it, either. Some of that info was actually new to me (particularly about the prescriptions). Was cool to wake up to that on my feed this morning!

The prescription thing definitely surprised me. I had heard before that Brandon Hantz wasn't allowed to have his prescription meds on Caramoan, which contributed to his behavior.

But I do remember for the longest time thinking there was no way anyone wears contacts out there, until Philippines when Penner said he dropped a contact as an excuse for looking for the idol, then reconfirmed in Caramoan when Shamar was bitching about his contacts.

Like that was really malicious and hypocritical considering you are aligned with Rachel.


Guess who's a likely replacement nominee.

Well it's either Rockstar because Sam is a liar about her reasons, or Rachel because she is genuine about them.

Well SHIT Sam.

I do find it kinda hilarious that the story we were told week one was that Kaitlyn flipped on Foutte out of jealousy for Fessy's relationship with Haleigh. And now, a month later, that storyline is finally coming to a head.

I adore the trainwreck of Kaitlyn, even if I can't stand her personally. I don't want her going anywhere any time soon.

Rockstar can go because she sucks, though. Her "drama" is over. Kaitlyn's will never end.

Kathy Sleckman is in the same category. I heard she was recently off her meds so her feelings of depression led her to quit Micronesia. Perhaps those incidents got them to change their tune, seeing as neither made for good TV - one was pitiable, though hard to present as relatable (even though I can totally relate), the other was downright uncomfortable to watch.

Agreed. I do like Rockstar, but Kaitlyn has far much more to contribute. That power that can mean both could stay, so that could be neat too...

I have such mixed feelings about Kaitlyn. On an episode-by-episode basis she has been anywhere from my favorite to most hated.

I JUST rewatched Micronesia a few weeks ago and Kathy Sleckman was hilarious. One of the few good things about that season, although I did feel bad for her at the end and empathized with her. Additionally, she was one of the few quitters that Jeff sympathized with. Both on-set and at the reunion he recognized that she endured a lot during her time in the game and said that he hoped she got what she wanted out of the experience.

...few good things? Uh, you have it backwards. Micronesia has few BAD things (the biggest one being Penner going out like that). The Black Widow Brigade is one of my favorite alliances ever and I think the reason people have a problem with them is that they're female.

But yeah, I sympathize with Kathy. It's hard not to when you know the details.

I, of all people, should LOVE an all-female alliance, but the BWB is boring and vapid, with a single episode flash of brilliance from Natalie, and Cirie is always good.

Also the BWB ONLY worked because of a ton of unusual circumstances (Penner/James medivacs and Erik stupidity). On a normal season that alliance doesn't work.

Can't double quote on phone but the last 2 posts are on point, though I would exclude Erik's blunder since... as much as I hated that, the idea was initially Cirie's iirc, so it actually works in her favor rather than against it, and my annoyance of it is on Erik for fucking falling for it and the other 3 for being cocky when it worked. Cirie played a pretty close to perfect game and the season was hers to lose... which she did... because random surprise final 2 thanks to too many quits and medevacs.

I remember somewhere that Penner had Parvati's number and was looking to take her out. Maybe he would have failed, but who knows? And Amanda was never going to win. She played the same game twice in a row without knowing the outcome of her first season. She out-Russell'd Russell before Russell Russell'd (though she got more votes the second time, so she at least made forward progress)

Wtf did they just play FFIX music on BB? I'm behind, talking about the scene at 8:06/8:07 ET when Kaitlyn is crying before Fessy walks in. Sounded like Freya's Theme.

anyway... Cirie was pretty locked in. That f2 twist killed her. Micronesia will always be a low and weak season for me because of that and everything that led up to it.

I was behind, but I'm caught up and this was a really great week

I've soured on sam this week like everyone else who liked her originally. she is not playing "big brother" and making enemies everywhere and just doesnt know what shes doing

fessy is so great at this game, he can control the game by winning the veto when he needs to, he can lie straight to your face and make promises and you'll believe him. I'm kidding he's terrible and it's great tv because of it.

rockstar is so bad at the social game, when shes talking to brett it feels so obvious what she's doing

I loved kaitlyn as a character and I'm sad to see her go. Although, schadenfreude, I'm a terrible person, I want to know how she reacts when told about her BF.

Angela was actually the one who convinced Level 6 and friends to boot Kaitlyn over Rockstar, but the shit edit didn't say that truth for some reason. She should have been included in tonight's episode because of that.

HOW THE FUCK did Kaitlyn butcher that gimme task? I mean, it is Kaitlyn, and I am going to miss the glorious trainwreck, but... yeah, you don't fail a task tested by 5 y/o kids and deserve to come back in.
