Beat me to it. definitely an LOL comment.

Wife #1 was 7 years younger than me, wife #2 was 17 years younger than me.

Finally wised up and married wife #3 who is my age.

You nailed it. In that context playing Survivor she was 100% obsessed with him. Reminded me a lot of Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.

Outside of the game Gabby probably wouldn't be as attracted to Christian but in that moment she was consumed by him. The moment she couldn't have him she wanted him dead (in the game).

So much sexism itt.

Saying someone looks bad is not sexism.

he didnt take her out. he voted for alison and wanted to keep gabby in the game. angelina and mike took her out.

I actually think this is just the edit. my 10% may have come from that and it was a bit tongue in cheek. if she did have a little bit of jealousy, it was probably done subconsciously. like stated before, the move made sense.

I also disagree with people saying there was 0% romance in their relationship. maybe not a lot, but it was clear there was something going and the edit made it a lot bigger than it actually was.

Exactly. He thought everyone was voting for him, and he was trying to take out Alison by playing his idol, though I thought Kara was the 2nd Gabby vote, not Mike. But I could be wrong.

Christian only told Gabby about the idol iirc. She probably spilled the beans while plotting to get rid of him.


Obviously Gabby needed Christian out of the game to win, but she gets no points here for "trying". She played this so incredibly bad. First, she decides she wants to 'blindside' Christian, yet goes and literally talks to every other player in the game about it. The vote could have ended up 7-1, which a) isn't really a blindside, and b) makes it way less likely she gets credit for removing the big threat when it's unanimous. Also, she KNOWS he has an idol! If you're trying to blindside someone with an idol, it's not going to work when you tell every person in the game your plan. With no backup protection, it literally takes one person to blow up your game.

Secondly, her performance at tribal council was pathetic. Remember now, Gabby KNOWS Christian has an idol and just blatantly telegraphs the 'blindside' worse than I've ever seen. She went on this whole monologue about how she spent the entire game needing support and reassurance from another person, but now shes ready to play the game for herself. Hmmmmmm.

There's no chance that Christians idol pause-stare down for dramatic effect thing was him actually trying to gain extra intel. He was always using his idol, and Gabby can only blame herself. The fact that she ended up saying things like 'how'd you get that big brain of yours?' in astonishment just shows how clueless she is.

By far the highlight of the episode for me. I laughed really hard.

You guys are really fooled by the edit and the desire for a nerd romance. The big brain comment was her complimenting his smart play of guessing he was a target, and playing his idol. Lol at this meaning she was "obsessed" with him (as someone else said, not you) or that jealousy at the mere sight of his gf motivated her game play.

And yeah needless to say a 25yo can be attracted to a 32yo. But 7 years at 25yo can be a lot. Regardless it seems pretty clear she saw him as a friend or maybe it was a little bit of a protector, like a big-brother/little-sister dynamic.

It's just amazing that people can't see a male and female who are clearly friends, without imagining there must be something romantic there. Even when, as in this case, those 2 people don't do or say a single romantic thing.

The crying was't very attractive, but I found her quite hot from the start. Nice legs, nice ass, rest aint bad either (sorry if this is sexism according to some of you).

I lol'd.

I found it quite harsh of the editors to edit it like that. I think it was >50% jealousy too, but still harsh to make it the ~main highlight of the episode/her exit. She will probably need some comforting and reassurance after seeing the episode.

It's not hate towards women it's hate towards ****ty plays/behavior ffs. I haven't been posting/following itt upto now this season but I can't imagine that this thread has been consistently kind to players like Carl or Dan.

Honestly LMAO at the comments in this thread. Read/listen to Gabby in any of her exits the Fatal Attraction comparison was the worst. She generally made the right move with poor execution, still had the majority of votes on side.

As for the people saying she only started playing now, she was one of the more active players with the Carl vote and the Jessica vote.

Comments on women’s looks to men’s looks. 100000000:1.

That’s sexism.

It's probably more 1.5-2.5:1 and that's because men and women are different. Men can stop saying stuff about women's looks but that's not going to make up the differences between women and men.

You could argue that pressuring men on not commenting on women's looks is sexism because you don't respect our gender characteristics, it's a stupid rabbit hole to go down.

I don't get the issue as long as men are socially aware and respectful about it.

I’ll snap take the over if you want to bet.

criticizing a woman for her looks, not sexist. got it

You could argue that, but you’d be a ****ing idiot.

I’m going to take a wild guess that bbfg is a “men’s rights” activist and huge Jordan Peterson fan.

I'm not saying commenting on a women's looks can't be sexism. But it is not by definition, and in the majority of cases it's not.

If you really think that commenting on a women's looks or saying a woman is ugly is sexism by definition, you really need to look up the definition of sexism.

Calling a (wo)man ugly is a pretty ****ty thing to do most of the time (probably all of the time). But it's not even close to being sexism in the majority of times.

lol. I find Jordan Peterson interesting to listen to but actually disagree with him on the majority of stuff. But he's great at presenting his points and debating, and as a result engaging and interesting to listen to.

Don't really care about men's rights. I do think both the feminist movement and the men's rights movement have valid points worth discussing (feminist movement significantly more, because lets be honest men have significantly less reasons to complain), but they are not being heard because normal public perception of both movements is pretty bad. All I see is extremist opinions getting attention which makes both movements seem like a bunch of amateurs.

what?

maybe cause there is only 1 or 2 women in this thread?

I wouldnt mind at all when or if somebody mentions how attractive a guy is, which has happened, and it was perfectly fine.

Are you arguing it's sexist if I like to talk about who I find attractive on TV but im not homosexual?

she did tho

"Listen here [Gab]Bey"

It’s a tv show filled with women in skimpy clothing and their bodies exposed. Of course there will be comments on their appearance.

I saw the comment about Allison body and was going to reply that Christian is looking even worse. Dude has lost a lot of weight. He looks almost skeletal to me, to the point that he doesn’t look physically strong enough to win challenges.

I haven’t seen anything sexist in this thread.

Damn this season keeps delivering, what an episode. No idea how Jeff gets them to blab about their plans so often at TC.

aww how cute white knights ITT
