Reality TV - Survivor #9: David vs. Goliath... - Page 3

I have to admit that I didn’t really know who Angelina was before this episode.

I feel like everyone’s rooting for the Davids and I literally couldn’t care less about this theme of Davids vs. Goliaths (as I think we’re all Davids from time to time in our lives). I just want to root for somebody I feel is playing well. So far, that’s still the wrestler, IMO. And Christian. His personality is a little much at times, but he also makes me laugh. (His name is Christian, right?)

^^ I agree about whether it's a 'David' or a 'Goliath', it's the person I root for not their 'classification'.

I didn't know Angelina's name but she came across like a people pleaser but the way it's edited, it seems like it's annoying?

Who are you rooting for, Millie? Do you know yet?

No one stands out much yet. I think as we get closer to the merge it will be more clear for me then

Ohmigosh! The jacket thing was totally epic.

Found this on social media.

Re: Angelina not having a jacket. Some seasons, the castaways don’t know they’re going to the island/starting the game when it happens. They’re all dressed up, thinking they’re going to a final interview or promo event or something, but then, the producers pull a fast one on them and the game is starting. That is why they’re always dressed up, don’t have bathing suits, don’t have jackets/warm clothes, etc. at the start of some of the seasons.

Also, I don’t think Angelina gave Natalie a hug because she was saying goodbye to her/sad to see her go, I think it was because she was buttering her up to get her jacket.

Which obviously didn’t work.

My question is, why doesn’t Angelina just ask someone to use their jacket? She really has to manipulate/vote people out to try to get their jackets?

Also, I’m “over” the theme now, as well. Especially now that they’ve been split. I’m rooting for individuals now, not on what team they were or weren’t on (which is how I think they should view things now, as well...

). I like Christian, and John, and Nick, and Alec (because of his epic move the episode before

). Haven’t decided on a female to root for yet, though.

April, thanks for that video of Rob, Tyson, etc. I will try to check it out later!

Yeah, Rob and Tyson and all them actually addressed the wardrobe stuff in that video, too. They said that once you get cast, they can pretty much tell you what to wear. If they cast you as a “hot chick” archetype, for example, you’re probably not going to end up getting to wear much. (That’s kind of icky to think about.) And they said that you usually don’t get long sleeves on both the top and the bottom, just one or the other.

I think I remember another interview Tyson did a couple years ago where he said that, when you’re a returning player, they want you to dress similarly to the way you did before. Which is why Boston Rob wears black and red, because viewers are accustomed to seeing him in those colors in All Stars.

That jacket thing was everything.

Yeah they dress you as a character so...

I want to see this show as completely unscripted, but unfortunately, that’s not 100% the case, and there is a little “scripting” with what the producers want in making the castaways into “characters”...

Still love the show, though, and it’ll always be my favorite.

I was wrong again tonight. I thought Angelina would be going with the edit she was getting.

**Alexa** · 11-01-2018, 12:02 AM

I was hoping Angelina would go, but it was smart of Mike ( i think that is his name) to stick with the Goliath alliance. Not that sad to see Lyrsa or whatever her name is go anyways lol. They failed epically at that challenge.

I think the brochacho's are annoying as frick constantly talking about it in front of the girls. Like, shut up. They are in your alliance too and its super rude to dismis them so obviously like.... I want all three of them to go. Christian annoys me too.

Farm chick also needs to exit like yesterday. She had a point about the bed being too hard to sleep on but damn, she didnt have to go about it the way she did, she was super rude.
