That's pretty unfair towards me. I don't talk about Samoa at all. If you want me to make a tired argument, bring up how good HvV was and see what happens (I rewatched it last week, so I have new material!)
And I think my posts ITT are pretty damn good besides the ones that bash Kos. And since Kos apparently really has me on ignore, I can probably cut those out now.
I'm just trying to have good discussion with the few good posters here. It's too bad that gets sidetracked all the time by people who refuse to acknowledge how little we actually know as viewers. For example, those who have taken in Brenda's interviews the past few days have heard that she was uncomfortable with the Marty vote, and would have preferred to vote Jane at that time. Did the edit tell the viewers that? Not even close. If anything, Sash was the one portrayed as wanting to keep Marty more between Brenda/Sash.
I dunno. As I think more about it, maybe it's not such a big deal for people to just have these discussions about the cast as they're portrayed in the hourlong episodes. SASH IS AN IDIOT! SHOULD HAVE GIVEN UP THE IDOL, WHAT'S HE GONNA DO NOW?
Guess what the edit didn't show us there? NaOnka told Sash that Brenda was plotting to possibly stab him in the back, and he was making a move to get her first. It's very apparent in his voting confessional, where he says basically that exact thing.
Like I said, I guess there's no harm in people discussing only what they're shown on TV as if it's absolute gospel. I just hate it when people start dumping on this season and its contestants for the "mistakes" they're making, because the herd mentality is strong, and I want this season to be well-liked so future seasons of Survivor will continue to be produced.
I just wish people would spend more time discussing the storylines, the editing, and trying to delve into what ACTUALLY happened, rather than what's being shown. All the armchair expert "OMG! [So and So] should have done [this] for [these reasons]"-type stuff isn't interesting or useful discussion to me.
