That's fucking bullshit and you know it. Since this thread began, you've pretty much downplayed Tina and Richard as being bad winners because of how they were up against dumb players.No no. That's been YOUR perception, because you think so highly of them that anything short of putting your favorites at the top means I must hate them. Not my problem
Have you ever thought I might be right? A lot of Sucksters thought Parvati was a moron and she just went on to win in 1 of the most arduous and strategic seasons ever orchestrating huge power plays and finally making a female alliance happen. I ALWAYS stood by her, and realized her potential watching CI. I've won 2 survivor online games despite being a total n00b, so I sort of do have confidence in my ability to assess the strategic game. You've said you've won a past online game, but then I've seen your record and seen you state that you can't even crack the top 5 in a game. So before you throw mud and jump to conclusions maybe you should actually eat some humble pie and realize someone may actually know what they're talking about even if they disagree with you
Nevermind the fact that you rank Yul at number 1 and find bullshit reasons as to why the other players in Cook Islands weren't dumb.
Now, Richard's case might be true because of the fact that the game was new, but you complete deny Tina of any credit, despite the fact that she remains, to this day, the only "old" woman to win Survivor.I don't deny Tina anything. I've said many times she's a great strategic player and she played a fantastic game in Outback. However, I do not give her extra credit for winning being "old". That's unnecessary demographic bias, and I don't give Sandra more credit for being Hispanic, or Aras for being a yoga instructor. If you want to blame anyone, blame the editors for not showing us anything that Tina supposedly did. I can only speak and judge from what I've seen, and based on her edit, she played a lot like Vecepia. Her best move in the entire game was securing Liz in my eyes. I can't even credit the flip against Mitchell, because the edit showed Keith doing all the dirty work, and Colby would be the pivot in that scenario
You say she had a magical alliance on day 1, which so many other winners got, yet Tina had absolutely nothing in common with 3/4 of the other members of that alliance. You neglect the fact that she saw she was on the bottom of the totem pole, so she changed the game around by teaming up with Keith and Colby to take out Mitchell while still holding power over Jerri and Amber.
Well I just addressed this. Look, Tina obviously had to have social skills to get herself in the 5 person alliance. It's just that it's mitigated by Kel and Keith's poor social games and being male targets. Then, when Mitchell, Amber, and Jerri decided Tina would be the 5th of their alliance, it indicates that Tina was more of a number as opposed to someone who actively made that 5 person alliance. I mean, am I wrong? Then, when the game got changed, I can't even give her special credit for figuring it out, because Jerri blatantly told everyone that at tribal council! And on top of that, based on the edit, Keith was doing the most active scrambling to turn Colby against Jerri/Mitchell/Amber, and Colby is the one who ultimately was the swing vote in that scenario. From my POV, you're trying to give older females 100% of the credit for most of the biggest moves each and every time. We've already seen your bias for the older folk and dislike for the youthful and mactors. Then you do the same with trying to credit Cirie for everything, even though the editors even gave Parvati more of the credit. Please address these issues reasonably
You say that Tina was lucky for Skupin falling into the fire. Fine. I say that Parvati's game was not as flawless as you like to believe, especially since there were MORE non-strategic moments in which Parvati got lucky than Tina did, any one of which could've ended Parvati's game had they not happened.I never said Parvati's game was flawless. I also know there were plenty of times Parvati lucked out. This season has had the most evacuees and quitters ever, only paralleled by the other season of Palau. Like seriously, if you don't understand my position, I'd appreciate you not speak for me and my POV
It all comes back to you having an anti-early season bias, which would explain why you seem to hate Tina so much and praise Amber for making a laughing stock of the show during the early goings.The only anti-early season bias I'd have is that each subsequent season's players have more access to what happened in the past and thus their gameplay MAY (not always of course) be better just because they have access to more history and strategy that the more naive early season players couldn't possibly have had. That's just fact, and that'd be the #1 bias of this ranking, but I feel it's reasonable and understandable, just as we know ancient Rome wouldn't ever kicked the modern United States' military no matter how much we respect it. Other than that, I feel I don't have any significant bias that is affecting my perception as I've clearly and logically laid out all the reasons why I've ranked people the way I do. It's been all up for discussion, but simply mudslinging and trying to make me look bad as part of your campaigning shortcut won't get you anywhere. All it does is kill your credibility and make you look petty
I didn't say that was your bias. I have however seen ample evidentiary support that you do seem to have a bias for the older generation players and hate on the younger folk especially mactor types
And before you even try to say that bullshit about how I'm projecting on you, know this: Australia is just barely in my top 10, and in fact, after Micronesia, I think it may have dropped out. I thought it was a very bland season, and honestly, I think that the most entertaining seasons have been post-ASS.
Basically, you can equate my getting pissed off and calling you out on your bias to you calling people racist for thinking Cook Islands was a boring and shitty season.Keep playing the race card KP
