Angelina is the most insufferable kind of moron, because she's a moron who thinks she's a genius.
While I can fully understand and usually agree with the general concept behind Gabby's comments at FTC and Jeff's reunion comments about double standards, it doesn't apply to the Angelina situation at all. If any contestant, male or female, made such a huge deal about the rice, played stupidly, was terribleat challenges, rubbed people the wrong way, etc. etc. etc. they should and would be rightly criticized.
Also, there's something sad about how Angelina tried to spin finding the hii as somehow a female empowerment moment considering she a. lost the clue b. hurt herself trying to get it on her own and c. Needed two men to actually get it. Not a good look. An even worse look, that women so rarely find them. There's literally no reason why male contestants should have any kind of inherent advantage there. Wtf.
Great post.

I'm not sure what post you are talking about despite having read most of this topic, but your point is stupid. You call something sexist while it has nothing to do with gender. Why there are death threats on the internet is either because people want to be really edgy or because they're idiots and the internet allows them to be unfiltered. It is not about gender or sexism.
I didn't enjoy Nick a lot during the season tbh, but he's a deserving winner from game POV and from life POV, so that's great.
I also enjoyed:
1/ Angelina not getting any votes. I struggled to sympathize with her but she kept trying to have it both ways. The rice. Making the idol a big deal while it probably was the least impressive idol find ever. Coming up with that fake idol thing and not owning that it was a complete failure.
Did anybody else notice how Alison finding the fake idol was edited down to basicly nothing? I am guessing the actual footage was awkward as **** and Alison just immediately caught Angelina's bluff.
2/ Angelina and Nathalie remaining completely unaware of themselves in the wrap-up show. Nathalie is just a lost cause but I was actually kind of surprised Angelina didn't just own that she has a polarizing personality. I guess turning it into a "strong woman" thing makes more sense in our current society, but I for sure did not buy any of it.
Great season.
Next season twist something along the lines of 1 person can survive after being voted out if you live all alone? (and there's a challenge between surviving player & voted out player every episode)
Preview made me think of that format.
