@corywurtnberger
& I dig into not just what he did, but the root of why & how it affected all aspects of his game. Why Kenney Lost:
#RHAP
On his podcast,
@JeffProbst
said he needs ideas on how to fix the auction because as soon as they put advantages in, everyone just saved their money for them & it was broken. Soooo, here’s an idea: Take them back out and just have the normal auction.
You’re welcome.
“‘Big Brother"’ isn't ‘The Challenge.’ It's not an athletic competition show. It's a social experiment to see how people react to being stuck inside a house and having to maneuver…to the end. It's at its best when everyone has a chance...Not a select few.”
Well said!👏

When Jelinsky said Q brought up quitting first, I figured he'd said something that Jelinsky misunderstood because I didn't think Q would use that as a strategy to fool Jelinsky into getting branded a quitter. Now I think that was EXACTLY what he did.

The moment when Jonathan said the wrongest thing he could possibly have said in all of wrongdom. Because it simply wasn’t even close to true.

I hereby guarantee a Ratu member won't win this game.

So basically Jesse played Cody's idol to get Karla to play her idol so Jesse would be the only one left with an idol.
This will either draw a HUGE target on him finally or win the game. Or both.

I think I'm now onboard with Venus being a 0-vote finalist. It would explain why she still seems to have misconceptions about what happened in the game -- she didn't spend time in Ponderosa with other jurors finding out info. That's my current hypothesis.

Just started listening to
@JeffProbst
’s podcast and he clearly lives in a different world. He called this a great episode & said it all starts with casting — ignoring the fact that the stupid twists overshadow casting because we barely get to see people! 😡

As we had to the
#BB25
finale, I don’t want ANY of the Final 3 to win, for different reasons. I want Jag to lose due to terrible gameplay. I want Bowie Jane to lose due to nonexistent gameplay. I want Matt to lose for acting like a nice guy while making vile comments about women.
So Bhanu is upset at God for giving him only ONE miracle and not another one to keep him around. How many people does Bhanu want God to injure for him?!

The moment <19 minutes into
#Survivor
Heroes vs. Villains when
@JeffProbst
knew this season was going to be great — after one round of the 1st challenge & players fighting so hard there was a dislocated shoulder. M
If someone gets screwed because they left their stuff at camp and didn't foresee this stupid twist, that's next level bullshit there.

Asked Matt about his America comments. He says he knew they would come up, and he's very "roasty" with his friends. He says he doesn't hate America and Cory, and all joking was done out of love

"I'm a superfan of Survivor. And I came here to be honest."
Those two sentences should NEVER be said together. The second disproves the first.

Sandra was asked why she went after Faithful even though she knew who the Traitors were. She said 18 or so people had to go whether Faithful or Traitors for her to get to the end! Yes, exactly!! This is the game!

When Cirie prepped Jared for going on reality TV, I have to think she told him not to say stupid shit. Was he not paying attention? Or does he not realize how stupid the stupid shit he’s saying is?

Jackson is right: There should be NO stigma in taking psychiatric medication. Any more than heart medicine or cancer medication or thyroid medicine.

Is today weird for any other
#Survivor
watchers in that I’m walking around with the feelings reverberating from last night and I feel like everyone else should be too, but most of them don’t watch the show and have no idea?
The whole Dan/Phaedra exchange really showed how they (and others) live in different worlds. Dan was just playing a game. But Phaedra took it personally. I of course side with Dan's view but also understand that not everyone sets aside their emotions.

Peter asked Sandra if she would rather get out Traitors or stick with her friends.
The answer is to stick with your friends/allies! Continually getting out Traitors just means new people will replace them and you won't know who!

finale prediction: If Erika wins, Jeff Probst will make a big deal in the recap package about how she TOOK A BIG RISK & SMASHED THR HOURGLASS even though it was an obvious move that anyone would’ve made.
(This is NOT shade at Erika, but at Probst.)
#Survivor
Once Kate murdered Sheree instead of Trishelle, I don't think Sandra had a path to victory. Trishelle and CT were going to do the same thing either way. So even if they'd banished Kate at the Roundtable, they'd have tossed Sandra next "to be sure."

Chris tells Wardog.
The whole thing falls apart.
Imagine that. 🤔

So here's what's going to happen: Heidi is going to knock Carson out in fire. And then she's not going to win anyway. So maybe that'll knock down this whole idea.

It's one thing to risk your vote, but it's another to risk it after clearly saying you weren't going to, thus telling the other person there that they would be safe to risk THEIR vote.

CT tried to be nice to MJ and the other non-gamers by complimenting them and even saying she did a good job. She just fired back saying he should’ve finished it the right way. The more she acts this way, the more I feel he DID finish it the right way!
#TheTraitorsUS
#TheTraitors
I'm trying to work out in my mind why Heidi felt she had to tell Yam Yam and Carson about the idol. Even if they were NOT on board, playing the idol takes care of the situation!

This is even WORSE than I thought! Because it hadn't sunk in that Heidi had to announce it publicly before the vote! So the others can change their votes accordingly if they want!

Mark worked to embarrass Feras in front of the jury by exposing him for making multiple deals. But all I could think was: So what? This is Survivor. If you aren’t making multiple deals, you aren’t playing.
Is anyone actually surprised that
#Survivor
50 is going to be returning players, as Jeff announced last night? I presumed that was obvious and the only question was whether it would be all New Era, a mix, or some special theme (like winners v first out v 0-vote finalists).
It feels REALLY icky to me that Elizabeth is using this situation as a ploy. I mean, yes, I know I always say to play logically and strategically and schemey, but this just seems... beyond.
#Survivor
My thought on this
#Survivor
season’s editing: If Rick wins, the show was edited terribly to make it far too obvious. If anyone else wins, the show was edited horribly to hide the actions of that person. Either way, there is one thing for certain: This season was edited horribly.
In case anyone didn’t know/forgot that Debbie Wanner isn’t just a kooky
#Survivor
character. She’s a conspiracy nut and Trumper (which I guess is redundant). From her Facebook.
Just occurred to me: At the beginning of the
#Survivor42
episode, we thought the stuff about Daniel losing everything was foreshadowing for the idol. Nope. It was foreshadowing for him losing his allies. 😬
@CohenBrian_
And it really hurts players who had long-term plans. Like, sure, someone can say, “I blindsided X” in 30 seconds. But it could seriously hinder a player trying to describe a complex game of making small moves throughout the entire season to put themselves in the right position.
Oh good — give Matt more positive publicity after they hid his comments during the show and he showed zero remorse or understanding in his interviews. 😖
#BB25
#BigBrother
stars Cirie and Matt will guest star on
#BoldandBeautiful
, and we've got the exclusive scoop on when it's happening and who the
#BB25
duo are playing.
To everyone I see tweeting about how terrible it is that Rick could get to the end by challenges & idols & twists, remember that he is playing the game he was given. You can’t logically be mad at HIM for that. Be mad at producers.

"The amount of fear in

about a women's alliance outpaces the number of times there's actually been a women's alliance" -- Very true,
@kellee_kim
! I know several people who will 100% agree with this!
I feel like Xander has a really poor read on the jury if he thinks Erika is the goat and Heather has a shot. Yikes. Maybe that lack of food is affecting him after all. 😬

I just realized that five days ago marked 20 years since I met

#RHAP
I'm glad
@carolynwiger
is safe for many reasons -- one of the biggest is that she is able to speak up and tell the story of Josh's fake idol.
And yet the others are questioning it! Like Carolyn said, "WHAT THE FUCK?!"
