I see the arguments for Debbie now, good points. Same for Taj -- MOR would seem a little weird, I think OTT fits for her as well. I think we're just
confusing her low visibility, but the one scene she was highlighted in was VERY OTT, and that was the entire basis of her edit this episode, right?

I'm not decided on Debbie. I have to rewatch.

Nope, no posts.
But, all the old posts have been restored. Our compulsive blathering is still preserved for the ages! |

I have a question for edgickers ... do you guys really read eachother's walls of text?
|

I read some of the peoples.
not to be a jerk, but what is there really to talk about in Survivor except editing. We can't really talk game because we're only shown so little of what is happening out there -and therefore semi-blindfolded. And to talk strategy on what is televised is pretty moronic -especially at season 18, since we've seen it all. |

I read every other word. It's more entertaining that way.

In terms of general walls of text (those about certain people's chances or certain scenes and manipulation) I read every single word eventually. In my free
time I sort of browse Edgic to see if there's something I skimmed over. Often for walls of text about people's ratings (the ratings that I agree with)
I completely skip.
But yeah, I'm just sooo loser-ish that I read every word. |

CLOSE CALL DECISIONS - Episode 10 | ||
|
1) Debbie = OTT
I know she had the beginning scene where she had 3 strategic confessionals, talking about how to regain control of the game, but the second part of her edit was a stark contrast from this. She goes from talking about how to get Sierra and Erinn back on their side to yelling at Sierra and shutting her down TWICE. It's a matter of her saying one thing and then acting completely differently. She was crying over how Sierra treated her when she was definitely in the wrong (from the editing) and then she said she didn't even remember what she said. I like the way sceptica explained it here and I know someone else (maybe taks or augustus made some good points about Debbie too): ILT, it looked to me as if Debbie's rational confessional, about how her best shot was to revive Timbura, was followed by her utter inability to talk to Sierra, to not acknowledge her legitimate responses, to get angry, and then stomp away. it was as if she wrote down her best strategic plan and then tore it up into itty-bitty pieces in front of everyone. She was, in a sense, quite one-dimensional: the player who talks the talk but is unable to walk the walk. This perspective was emphasized in their later confrontation when she burst into %!!!% and was stunned she was in an argument with a girl half her age. Well, that girl half her age was her lifeline, and she tossed it away.2) Taj = OTT My initial rating for her was UTR, but I admit that wasn't right. We got the confessional from her during the Reward with the sappy music where she talked about missing her family, and then at Tribal Council, she said she loves the drama because she hasn't watched soap operas in so long. Very little from her this week but it was all very one-sided. MOR doesn't seem right either, so I'm going with OTT. |

I've been reading since S8. To avoid burnout, I've developed a protocol.
Known trolls, I skip. Otherwise, I read the first few words of a post to check whether it's about edgic. That eliminates a lot of them. Then I read a few sentences to see where it's headed. If I'm interested I continue, but I generally quit after 200 words. That ought to be enough: this ain't rocket science. |

... do you guys really read eachother's walls of text? Ah yes, the "walls of text". The old Soviet newspaper style. Maybe that's why communism fell in Russia. Nobody could stand to read the "walls of text". Remember your 4th grade teacher. Paragraphs paragraphs paragraphs.... (And maybe those six great argument points could be posted one at a time.) |

Ain't that the pravda. Yep. Always be a little suspicious when someone names their paper, "The Truth". Lol. |

Taj should be UTR UTR MOR, instead she's MOR UTR OTT.
Thanks to WD decisions, her Crystal-like dsappearance as a major charcter has been obscrured. She showed a bit of emotion on reward. Voted OTT by 26%, but the MOR\UTR vote was split. That episode was far too dull and lacklustre to have 4 OTT characters in it. |
