I guess I have that new school mentality. Not a fan of the Pagongings --at all--. I'm a little sad to say this but season 19 and 20 are my ideal seasons and it's those kinds of twists and turns I'm craving in the newer seasons. I don't think I'm alone in feeling this way. Thanks for your two cents on my rock paper scissors idea, Sensei. I think I'm going to go ahead with the idea because it's something I'd like to see in Survivor. How do you think things would play out if the tribes were scrambled every cycle? Strategic-wise, I think it would be smartest to vote off the alpha-males and females ASAP because they could end up on either tribe, which are scrambled before every immunity challenge. So I would predict a secret Alpha-Crowd cross-tribal alliance. Any insight into this clusterfuck of an idea? I don't think Mario was referring to preferring a more exciting or unpredictable post-merge/blindsides in terms of viewing; hell, I do, too. That's virtually always more fun to watch than a string of five episodes in which it just goes Zapatera-Zapatera-Zapatera-Zapatera-Zapatera. The problem arises when somebody assumes that the person who has a more exciting game (i.e. Russell) has inherently played a better game than the person who sat back and did what they needed to without making themselves a target (i.e. Natalie). Oh, thanks for clearing that up dabu. I think my mentality is new school in the fact that I'm waiting, desperately hoping, that a -truly- controversial player wins.

"New school mentality"? Hmmm. I've only seriously been watching Survivor since HvV. What is the "new school mentality"? I mean, I can see new viewers not quite grasping the importance of camplife and the social game because the editing shows less of that then the earlier seasons. Is that part of thecause of th new school mentality? "New school mentality" is this belief that to win Survivor you have to make big bold moves and you have to do things that are giant game changers. I'm not sure exactly when this logic started popping up among the fan base, but you see it all the time from people who just started watching Survivor in recent years. Especially from Russell fans. "Well how did so and so win! They didn't do anything!" In other words, "They didn't make huge moves, they suck!" The simple truth is that you have never needed big bold moves to win Survivor. And I can't tell you how disheartening it is to even see Jeff Probst start making these sorts of comments in recent years. More often than not, the people who win Survivor are the ones who -don't- stick their necks out and make big moves. More often than not, big moves are the things that fuck you up. To me, this is the clearest difference between old school fans and new school fans. In other words, while you might want the devil by your side, you want to make sure you're not tarred with the devil's brush at the end. Parvati and Sandra each had one part of this sentence down pat (guess which applied to whom) while Natalie White had both. Oh, and it looks like the Hantz worshipers over on YouTube hate the link to FoH2 (wink, wink). Really, I couldn't have explained it to them any better.

Because much of his fan base is of the new-school mindset (I'm not one of them). They tend to be so awed by his style of play that they forget those who are actually playing alongside him in real time are not. They might not even recall that there was a period with no hidden immunity or islands that featured the twists we have now. Natalie's win, where Russell salvaged two votes, was what TV Tropes refers to as a Base Breaker; it was even worse when Sandra won and he was shut out. Really, I've given up trying to explain this sort of thing to the Hantz Nation with original arguments on YouTube; that's why I left the article titles, depending on which final opponent is at the heart of their argument, for them to Google. I'm not one to dwell on this sort of thing because we all saw how Russell fared when he didn't have hidden immunity, social butterflies, or the benefit of being a total unknown quantity. But until the Apocalypse happens, it's never going to be forgotten.

Posts: 27 (01/30/12 03:03 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Pshhhh we have secret to share Remove this ad I like Coach as #1 because 1. "it's a fucking stick" just doesn't hold a flame to "my grandma died" in my mind and 2. Coach is such a caricature of the wannabe Renaissance man. If it was intentional and part of an Andy Kaufman strategy it would be genius but since it was unintentional, since he was so oblivious to how much of a douche he'd look in the edit while he expected people to see him as a noble warrior, it's what every survivor dreads - the Jerri treatment. And for Coach when that season aired, shit really hit the fan. Every survivors worst fear happened to Coach x10000. No single moment from the more recent seasons compares to what JFP pulled so I think Coach as #1 is a genius way to end the countdown. And the entry is funny as hell.

(We were much better about it during HvV, but it still happened and probably still is happening now and then.) I think this was mentioned pretty early in "My Experiences with Survivor," that she drew some less than desirable comparisons to a horse. In light of the abuse she had to endure at Russell's hands, the most apt metaphor that comes to my mind is, "rub a galled horse, it will kick." And did she ever. From the third page of that landmark article. This snapshot says it all. You know I'm going to chomp off your cock for this, right? Last Edited By: aboutbreakingrules 01/30/12 05:41 PM.

There was no chance anything other than Coach was ever going to be #1. The only thing that was in question as the list was going along was how I wanted to write it. Did I want it to be a tribute to Coach or did I want it to be a hatchet job? In the end I kind of split the difference and made it 50/50, but it was meaner and more negative than I originally intended because that was my reaction to the way he was portrayed in South Pacific. I had to know how he did in SP to determine how I wanted his entry to come off.

If I was C;oach the only thing I'd be mad about is the part where it shows his pre-game interview and he says that he basically screws over his assistant coach's by paying them shit and the players by not giving scholarships. But he said it, so hey.

Watch as I sabotage his new legacy." If Coach had been the first one voted out of SP, the tone of the entry would have been "Awww let's go easy on Coach. Yeah he's goofy but here is why you should love him." I had to kind of split the difference down the middle since he did well but was also embarrassed at the end. It was a weird chapter in Coach's Survivor legacy.

That sort of caught me off guard when they announced it. I was already nearly halfway through writing the entries when that news came out.

Unlike ASS Rupert who showed me how badly I fell for the Pearl Island edit...
