My offer always stands, if you are around Columbus, Ohio, let me know and we can have a blast. Please go to the STP concert tomorrow night and give me a full report! I'm 150 to 200% sure that you're gonna love Thailand ep 3. Although that scene actually does include a hysterically un-PC "Did Clay actually just say that on national television?" quote. Clay's shining moment is in episode 5 though. It's pretty small but you'll know exactly what it is when you see it... |

I started reading Sucks during Amazon and posting when the cast come to Sucks. Jenna is me what Chris is for OTH. The difference between reality and editing in
S6, and the fact that KQ picked Jenna fascinated me. BTW I can identify with Chis more than most male characters.
My first season was pearl isalnds when Edgic had its huge triumph by picking Sandra in the face of a Darrah wins spoiler. Darrah was supposed to beat Lill F2, but KQ insisted she was too UTR to win. S13 and S16 have been my best seasons picking the winnner. From early in S13 I had either Yul or Parvati as the winner, and now they've both won.

I found out about sucks probably around Fiji, I began reading here around late China and posting here around mid-micronesia.
I actually knew about edgic before coming in here, I think that I kinda got on the idea after I watched PI the second time, and got to see JFP saying "there's no way sandra gets to the finals", that got me thinking that the edit is really cool, but I never got to really developing it. So here I am, a new edgician (some* may not even call me edgician right now). *and by "some", I mean everybody. Oh, and in seasons 13-15 I picked the winner in the first three episodes of the show, in S15 even before the show started, just by reading the pre-show interview.

Edgic became completely irrelevant the moment you started taking the editing more seriously than the editors do.
I'm sure this was all reasonable and well when a few bright folks noticed at home that the winner had, throughout the season, had an interesting story. Anything past intuition and gut feelings about it though just move you further and further away from the intention of the presentation, since your observational methods are fucking with your actual experience. Quantum physics, chaps. |

Edgic became completely irrelevant the moment you started taking the editing more seriously than the editors do.Do sports fans take sport more seriously than the players? Did Torqemada take religion more seriously than God? Hell yeah!!! I first became intrigued by Survivor editing during Guatemala when I was fascinated by Veruca Salt's views. That's where Panurge has also been posting under another nic. I became frustrated by Edgic when everyone kept refusing to see that Danni's edit had legs despite its unorthodoxy. Despite the divergence in views, I was hooked by the arguments and by Edgic's capacity for rational argument free from flaming and excesses. Since then, with the help of Edgic principles as well as other types of editing logic, I've managed to somehow pick every winner - until this season, when things went horribly wrong! 
Long may everyone flourish to engage in robust debate! |

Erik Posted in his thread:
I was a definite lurker, but there's quite a lot of people who have a good grasp on the show and edgic is pretty funny to read. I used to post on another Yuku board called "Anime Sucks" and found my way over here from there. Yes, we do slip into taking the editing more seriously than the editors at time - but then so do critics interpreting literature. And its debatable exactly when we're guilty of it, especially in the mioddle of a season. |

As for trolls trying to give us shit for having fun with the show in our way, fuck the fuck off. The experience is, speaking personally as I must, I find my enjoyment is heightened by being able to read the editing and interpret it. I found some frustration with the somewhat muddy definitions, but I have a couple of proposals to make in that regard. This season WAS enjoyable to watch and to discuss. It's rather amusing that someone would take the time to post insults in Edgic. If this kind of intellectual exercise isn't for you, it's your loss, Gaboner. |

I've been in and out of Edgic since Thailand ("Jan will so win, guys!"), but I'm only sporadically solidly in Edgic. Some seasons spoilers
scared me off of Edgic. And Fiji was just so boring I couldn't bring myself to do Edgic.

Good luck to you all trying to figure out Natalie's overall edit.
That lady has one of the oddest edits ever. From invisible, to psychobitch, to sexually charged. |

Seriously, Nat probably gets UTRN. I think she had more UTRs than INVs, and the one OTTNN should not necessarily describe her entire time. Agreed - very odd
edit.

While we're in the business of opening house, if any of you dear Edgicians are ever in the ATL area, hit me up and we can go get a drink or something (so long as it's not coffee) and discuss the merits of CPN versus MORP. |

I think finale ratings are due today, so here are mine:
Amanda - CPP5 Cirie - CPP4 Natalie - CP3 Parvati - CPM4 I think all of the women were developed enough to earn a CP. The tones were more difficult to determine though... And here's my final chart, for anyone interested:

Overall Rankings
Total Voters: 12
Hey Everyone, it's been a pleasure being your stats guy for 3 years and 6 seasons. I hope that someone steps up to do tallies, and I'm more than willing to help that person should they say yes. (I haven't heard from Lemun in a few weeks, was wondering if maybe he just got busy, and if so he might, but at this point I wouldn't bank on it.) I'll pop in every now and then because I'll still be edgicing in my head at least...but by and large this is my retirement day. Peace,
ETA: And I'm sure I'll be in Columbus Ohio sometime in the next few years, so I promise to hang out with OTH because you're one of my edgic favorites...I couldn't resist the opportunity to meet someone like you in person. I'll extend a similar offer to anyone visiting West LA if you're looking for someone to hang out with (I'm a coffee guy...so I'd say coffee...but can "do lunch" as well since I'm in LA and that's what we say) I'm only a mile and a half from Venice beach!
