Swag_check: "Blah blah I'm awesome, blah blah I'm going to force you to skip my posts with the repetitiveness inherent in my telling you to listen to me blah blah."

Boring.

Re: Boni: I'm pretty surprised at the news. Always felt like he was bolstering himself a bit, so I figured he was lower level than he let on, def didn't stop to think he was completely full of it though.

lol Gary, for someone who likes to proclaim so much about how he doesn't read my posts, you sure do spend a lot of time reading...my...posts.

I appreciate all the name-checks though, I'm glad that (formerly?) ESPN's own Gary Wise is such a passionate fan of mine. We should get together for coffee and scones during the wsop.

Sorry - late to the party and super-grunching.

Yeah - it was a ****ty spot for Cochran to be on a tribe with Ozzie the dick and a bunch of pussies who worshipped Ozzie the dick.

I like Cochran's chances this time around and will be rooting hard for him. My daughters are also super-excited after D&C got him to do that shout-out to them on the podcast.

In retrospect, I feel slightly silly for eventually believing that BG was involved with the Survivor production process.

Currently, I feel like the sultan of ******ation for believing swag_check might have actually gotten the picture near the end of S25 regarding his off-putting douchiness versus perceived hilariousness ITT.

Weighing in on BG, I just have to say I am totally satisfied with this revelation. From the very beginning I got a vibe that he was just being a super douche looking for people to stroke his ego. To be honest it kind of sickened me how people were treating him like a king.

Here was his post in the other forum if anyone cares:

Back to Survivor with some more cast interviews:

Holmes: Recently people on the bottom of alliances haven’t making moves until it’s too late. Why do you think that’s a trend?
Pohevitz: I think people become complacent with where they are. People say, “My whole family said I was going to be the first person voted out, so if I’m still here the third week that’s great.”
Holmes: Did your family say that?
Pohevitz: No, my family thinks I’m going to come back a millionaire. Like Christina this past season (“One World”), I had no problem with her, I like her. But, the whole cast is saying nasty things about her, like she didn’t belong there. And she was just proving them right. So many of us people have wanted to be on this show forever. I’m going to do everything I possibly can to advance myself in the game. And she just let it go. I don’t get it. It’s hard to watch as a fan.

Holmes: What are your first impressions of the cast members you see running around here?
Meehan: OK, nervous about Corinne. We have a different approach (Laughs) to the game. I’m nervous about her, not because I’m afraid of her, but she’s definitely tough. I’m excited about Francesca. I loved her. I was sad to see her go. I don’t know her, so I’m excited to get to know her. I think she’s someone I could trust. Not sure what’s going to happen with having two other players from my season who both voted me out. To me, Brandon and Cochran developed a really strong bond. That’s what I saw in the game, almost a brotherhood.
Holmes: Well, when you share a sweater vest…
Meehan: I expected Brandon to name a child after John.
Holmes: Give him time.
Meehan: It was only them in a bubble for a lot of hours every day. They’ll be strongly aligned and Cochran will probably need someone like that quickly. I don’t know where I’ll fit in with them.
Holmes: Is there anyone in particular that you want to align with?
Meehan: Well, I love Erik, just from a fan standpoint. I love the way he played. I just think he’s so authentic. I’m looking toward Francesca, Andrea, the two from my season, and Erik. I’m nervous about Phillip because I just don’t know Phillip well enough from outside of what I’ve seen in the game. Is he crazy like a fox or just crazy? I saw the feather today.

Holmes: As far as your “Survivor” gameplay goes, how do you feel about lying?
Bischoff: Here’s the deal, anyone who watches the show has got to realize that there is lying and deceiving and backstabbing. And even when you feel comfortable, you can be blindsided. I’m going into this game knowing how it works and I’m going to do whatever it takes to win. So, if that means backstabbing a friend? My goal is to win and I’ll do whatever it takes. You can’t play this game completely honest. But, after the game is over, everyone should respect who wins the game.
Holmes: It’s easy to say that when you’re the person winning this game. If you were a jury member, could you vote for someone who you thought was the best player but had stabbed you in the back?
Bischoff: You’ve got to respect people that make it farther than you. If you backstab me, I’m going to have an emotion of being pissed off. But, I’m going to vote for someone like you over someone that would ride coattails and not play the game.
Holmes: So, no respect for coattail riders?
Bischoff: This game takes a lot of luck and big moves and I think a lot of people want to sit back and chill and watch the game. I’ve got to be able to spot opportunities and make big moves when necessary.

I start reading every post before seeing who wrote them. Got about a third of the way through your last one. Won't be at WSOP because of the former ESPN thing, but would have taken you up on this otherwise. Would have been interesting.

Coach is actually a smart guy, and definitely stepped up his game that season. He's just crazy that's all.

Erik was locked up in the final 4 and had to win 1 more challenge against 3 women. It's not in the top 5 worst survivor plays in history without a reason.

He was thinking about the jury votes, and how to win the game! Sure, he lost sight of the immediate danger and it was an obviously stupid move, but that's still about ten levels further than Cochran was ever thinking, who made his decision because Coach/Brandon/Sophie convinced him they'd be nicer to him than his current alliance was treating him.

Too bad, I liked his inside stories.

I knew there was something wrong with that dude, but gave him the benefit of doubt.

Looking back at BG's Abi related posts crack me up knowing he was FOS

Quote:
Abi in my opinion was very fun to watch and endearing. You have to meet her in real life I think to get this, but I am 100% sure that every single male would find her very endearing if they ever met her. Shes a very blunt girl, but she doesn't do it in a mean way. She is just very self unaware. She has no problem laughing at herself though, Pete made fun of her 24/7. The reason she had so many problems with Denise is because Denise is a very patronizing person. And Denise was scared of Abi I believe, and spread hate against Abi to everyone else. But to be fair to Denise, most women would be scared of Abi in Denise's shoes. Denise is a very little person (Probably 4'10). Abi is not a large person, but she was over a full head taller than Denise. And was in Denise's face 24//7 hurling insults in her accent, this caused Denise to shut down. Guys imagine if some 6'5 guy constantly insulted you and got in your face 24/7 putting you down. Thats what Abi was like to Denise. Abi is dating Peter though now in real life, so things definitely worked out for her. She will definitely return in an All-Star season.
Quote:
I didn't say that, my point was that Abi comes across very bad on the screen but in real life it is endearing. Maybe not to women, but when a hot chick is screaming at you in her bralizian accent it is kind of endearing in a weird way.

She is very nice though in real life. The nastiest person in the cast in my opinion is RC, probably followed by Pete.
Quote:
I stick by what I said about Abi, shes a cool girl off the island.
Lie to people, get them to feed your ego, and agree with your stance the majority of the time because omg inside info.

Cochran's position on day 1 is easily one of the cushiest spots to start a season I've ever seen, which, at least for me, is the main reason to be so high on him this time around. His Ivy League intelligence, experience playing before, ability to recognize his previous mistakes, and superfan status are all icing on the Ometepe-level-rigged-in-his-favor-starting-tribe cake.
The only way his spot could be cushier is if Edna had replaced Brenda in the cast. Cochran even has two first-boot shields (Shep and Brandon) in case he single-handedly screws up an early immunity challenge. Colin is right as usual. This one of the the greatest starting tribe draws of all-tiiiime.

Reichenbach is the other favorite in the catbird seat. His challenge prowess should keep him safe until the merge. Once there he should have a decent mix of big-game targets (Malcolm, [insert the most physically gifted fan]) left in the game to act as shields. I would place Reichenbach as a heavy favorite in a F4 IC against the wine & cheese alliance and even a slight favorite against, say, Brenda, Malcolm, and Corrine.

At the opposite end of the spectrum Shep has everything going against him. Not only is he the sole finalist in the entire cast but he is also the oldest contestant. Francesca and Andrea are out to get him. It will be an accomplishment if he avoids being the first or second boot from his tribe.
