I recommend Australian Survivor if you like challenges, as they tend to be more creative with trying new things at the moment. With the tighter timelines for modern Survivor, with the 26 day game, I think they really have to keep challenges shorter just to ensure everything happens on schedule...

Who goes to Disneyland during Survivor 50? Oh wait, I did the same during AU vs. The World. I'm more forgiving of this episode than most people based on a glimpse at the Reddit discussions. We can rehash the old arguments that splitting a merged tribe up isn't really a merge, but I think it...

That was sort of my point, the Disney promo didn't sell me on it being any more than a clone of Epcot. The YouTube video did. I know most people won't care, but why not highlight how you've made a better version of the attraction?

I watched the little 6-minute promo for this land on Disney+ and was underwhelmed. Some characters, a lot of buildings, and one ride cloned from Epcot. The Epcot ride was limited by having to use an existing attraction base. With that not being the case here, why not improve on the design and...

An OoT has always been inevitable and would be most welcome. Less thrilled that it could be their sole big holiday release. The good news for Nintendo is that Pokémon Pokopia appears like it will carry them through this year, and is a game that is pushing people to buy the system who had been...

I agree, but if history is any indication it will actually be a "mergatory" vote where the tribe is split in two for voting in some way. We'll see what happens but I'm skeptical we'll see a true merge with the full group voting. It's wild to have a merge of 17 people.

I'm surprised from the perspective that this could alienate and harm retailers. There are still people who want to buy physical. If smaller stores close because there's no longer business in selling games, it could impact Nintendo as well. I guess this isn't surprising. Electronics are seeing...

This is unironically true.

Ditto to really everything you said. The episode annoyed me at the start because it's the same old disaster tribe scenario playing out. I assume they still have fire since they had 8 fish, so it wasn't the heavy hand of production necessarily, but it still grows tiresome. They spent a lot of...

Same. One Battle After Another started okay for me then it just didn't hold my interest. It's still nice to see Paul Thomas Anderson win an Oscar because I know he's made great movies and I loved Boogie Nights when it came out. The awards shows are generally fun to watch and you can't take...

Oh look, a relatively new poster trotting out their opposition to diverse casting in remakes, With the standard talking point assuring everyone they're okay with original movies that feature diverse casts, and then get defensive when people see through this technique and call it out for what it is.

This season is really delivering. Everyone, except maybe Angelina, is really there to play AND aware of the need to make good television. Colby has already redeemed his HvV performance. Sometimes I wonder if we really need to see certain people for a fourth or fifth time and then Coach comes...

Star Wars: Starfighter comes out in 2027 regardless, so there will actually be two results to draw conclusions from.

Releasing MV3D for headsets is great news. Some people are dismissive of VR as a passing fad or think it should just be a regular Disney+ release, but I don't think they understand what the Vision Pro in particular is capable of. The Vision Pro is a very powerful spatial computer, it's not...

Agreed. Rob may have played a perfect game. He managed to get his fellow traitors out while not becoming a target in the process. He knew exactly when to murder or banish the right people. He found a ride or die to get him to the end. He picked the correct person to recruit. Trying to rank...
