EPISODE #1
World War 3

Put all your pre-game thoughts in the thread designated for that. Once you start watching confessionals join this discussion! This is for the beginning of episode #1 and NOT your thoughts of anything that happened prior. Episode 1 is everything after Macs Initial cast interviews!
--------------------

I am super stoked for this season and I think we are going to have one hell of a world war. You got your sweethearts, your psychopath, your prepubescent brats and everything in between! I love some, hate others and I want to smack the shit out of all of them because that is HOW excited I am. I am taking it upon myself to start not only the pre-game assessment thread but this one too -- because I am that bitch today. Some confessionals are loaded and ready and I am going to go check them out and teach all you assholes what a good PW is!!!!!

KISSESS

[ricky]

Danny's confessional starts out typical and annoying. Someone needs to tell him that he can't do thirteen minute confessionals cause we will begin to loathe him. He talks a bit about who he is aligning with and that kind of stuff!

Jessica, Constance, Mark and Maranda are allegedly "NOT AROUND." I know Constance, so it's probably Dannys fault. He calls them invisible -- maybe you suck so far? LOL IDK, why do I hate him so much? However before I keep going I am proud of him for making the first confessional. He's an eager beaver!
but pause... Am I a Hater?

Am I doing everything I didn't like people doing to me???

YUP.

I do think it's super funny that he doesn't know if Constance is a boy or a girl, it is a little confusing -- I am surprised that Danny wants to work with her? Even though he hasn't reached out yet with her -- but I like that he seems to be open minded.

I actually start to like him better the more he talks; he thinks Mark is going to go first on first impressions; and he made an alliance with all the young people ------ BUTTTTTTTTTTTT, he said he wouldn't do that in his pre-game interview. However now he is going on a rant how he is older then his age, and that he is smarter then the other people his age.

NVM hate him. I think he's delusional so we need someone else to post a confessional to tell us what really is happening.

[ricky]

Constance is an absolute star in the making. That was her very first video confessional ever and she kept it short and she jam packed quite a bit of information in there! That's what we call a freaking PRO. She let us know that her strategy so far is TO NOT BE LEADING THE PACK! She wants to be Queen, but she knows she has to look around her and see what everyone else is doing before she even thinks about stepping forward. How cool is it that CRAZY ASS Constance knows how to behave herself? Or so she says so far -- we will have to see. She says she wants to work with Brady and she is enjoying her tribe. In her past game people were very disrespectful to her and you can tell it humbled her and she is working at taking this game in a whole different way. I really hope she sticks to her guns and follows the guidelines she just gave herself in this confessional because if she does we may be seeing her for quite awhile. She's a very nice down to earth person, I love her!

I don't think we should be telling people that they can't make 13 minute confessionals especially when it isn't uncommon for that to happen anyway. And especially when last season it was like pulling teeth getting people to make confessionals at all. It's best to just let them talk however they'd normally talk instead of telling them how they /should/ talk; I feel like we'd just be stifling his natural personality otherwise. And a 13 minute confessional now is probably just because he's excited and it's the first night. It doesn't mean the rest will be that long (and oh well if they are). That being said... I actually found his confessional entertaining. On the other hand, I didn't find Constance's super entertaining and despite it being short, I don't remember much about it. Other than her saying "LOL HAY I'M A QUEEN" or whatever.

I'm kinda surprised more people haven't posted stuff yet. Certain people were hitting the ground running last night (Brady and Felix). Brady was basically setting up something against Mark as soon as he could and Felix was being... IDK. He had chats with every single person apparently but I wasn't in all of them (thankfully tbh). Brady's chats were dying pretty fast; the 'Murica tribe is kinda dull? They attempted a group call last night and I guess Brady was like "LOL STRATEGY GUIZE?" and then it just died so he started going to people individually. My favourite moment is in his chat with will: "So do you like sports by chance?" MMMM YES THE SPORTSBALL. SUCH FUN. Anyway. There didn't seem to be a whole of action from 'Murica tribe beyond that. Whitney didn't seem to give too many fucks about what Brady was putting down. I'm not sure it makes much sense for him to be that aggressive about voting someone else out that fast. Especially when the argument is, "Lol I know Mark from another place and he doesn't really like me." Because... so what? All that means now is these people know YOU are an easy target and you're not offering them any reason to keep you.

Malka (R.o.W.) tribe was a bit more active last night but I passed out and we couldn't get all the production on their call since they'd be incapable of video chatting otherwise. So I think Jermaine, Sandy, and/or Steph could fill people in on that. I've gathered that Paulina shared a very sad story based off Georgina's confessional and what she said in her one on one chat with Rachel and I'm curious to know what the story was.

Still not clear to me where alliances fall. Not sure there really are many. I'd imagine Yogi is an easy first boot for Malka unless he starts showing up and being active. On Kuban I would imagine it's one of Brady or Mark.

[Host Jared]

Well, I agree with Joe for the fact that I still wished more people would post more confessionals and Georgina posted one as well and she's like getting tough reads on Taylor and Felix, so it will be cool to see which one of them goes first.. Hoping Felix after the way he used his cockiness in his interview and only sounding to play one direction only being dramaville.

[lexi]

After reading what Joe said, it seems like Brady is going in super hard, and I'm not really sure if I remember correctly, but I think this is his first ORG and all the rest is tengaged gameplay. The moment you said, 'STRATEGIZE GUIZE' I wanted to smack him because he's already trying to play this like a tensucked STARS game which I think is a fatal fall for most tensuckers because they have absolutely no social game which is a key key key element in any org the first few rounds.

But then I'm confused because Constance (WHO IS A STAR. HER TO WIN. PLS) says she made a friend in him super quick, but maybe that's just because he was the only one on and I think Constance is already playing a FANTASTIC social game and it's only been night 1. I really really really hope she detaches herself from that filth brady, MOSTLY if he is already trying to set up getting my boo bear MARK out.

I don't know what it is about Mark, I just really like the guy, ok. But my main question is, IS HE FROM TENGAGED!? I'm almost 100% sure he is, but in his pregame interview he said he wasn't, but I know a guy named Marcus that is in the season and he's the only Mark. And Mac laughed a lot when he said he wasn't in his interview. So that could be a reason why Brady is already balls to the wall trying to gun for him because nobody really likes him on the site - which is super dumb when people bring the petty tengaged drama to the REAL games. FUCK YOU BRADY.

GEORGINA SAYING SHE WASN'T THAT INTO TAYLOR RIPPED MY WORLD APART for like 2 seconds than I realized it actually did make sense. I don't see Taylor as a person that gets along with other girls all that well. Like in Endure 3, I was literally roped into an alliance because she hated the other pretty girl so much and wanted her out. Pretty girls just don't get along well together, so although it'd be an awesome girl power duo, in reality, I don't think we can expect it. I don't see the gunning for each other though, because I think they could hide behind each other well, but I don't see them working as a unified final 2. As all our hearts break.

But anyway. Fuck Brady. Fuck Danny's 13 minute confessional. I think the two dumbasses will be well suited for each other. I really hope Mark can pull something where he won't be first boot and Brady will be destroyed and so will Danny's 16 year old life in the matter of one tribal council. I'm predicting USA to lose first immunity, which I think will be the most interesting and will become a war between the two Tengageders, and hopefully Brady goes down in defeat because he's already playing like an idiot.

[ricky]

Joe no one is saying they can't do thirteen minute confessionals -- but shorter ones 2-5 minutes would be AWESOME because they can do more confessionals and also kind of stay on related topics. It's just easier, just because we hate it doesn't mean they will listen and/or do what we want. We're the viewers and they will give us whatever they want and we need to take it! However it wouldn't be iS if we weren't already disagreeing!!

[ricky]

I feel like I am going to be so hard on Georgina this season cause I can't sit there and yell at her being that I am a PW! Georgina is ALOT like our girl Nicole Grady. Girls hate girls and it's stupid, it's so stupid. Georgina is looking at the Taylor situation as if it is a chore. She knows because of prior friendships she is supposed to align with her and in the game of Survivor when you love the game, you don't EVER want to do what your people want you to do -- you do what YOU WANT you to do. I think Georgina is super worried about the Endure Connection.

I wonder if she realizes how stupid it was for her and Taylor to talk about Endure so candidly in front of their entire tribe? I think cause of this and because Taylor is a little more immature then Georgina that G is going to be silly and forget this is a numbers game.

I can totally see Rachel holding to her Pre-Game interview and kind of look at Georgina as her biggest obstacle. Georgina has a major problem relating to mature females and Rachel is a mature female. I think if Georgina doesn't work with Taylor it will be to her disadvantage but I want her to prove me wrong -- I want her to put the work in and make some organic relationships with new people and if she can do that I would be impressed and the Taylor thing would be entirely moot!

However Georgina is Nicole Grady fourth time coming and she is a girl hating bitch in the game of Survivor whether she acknowledges it or not. She will love the boys, and it's going to be the traditional mistake.

I have to say Daniel is really hot, like WTF -- Fukmar is he your IRL Friend? Have you ever boned him? If so, good job, if not, way to fail!
Daniel makes a really good point when he says people will probably forget about the HP -- In India I had played such a dynamic game and my fall out and eviction was due to the twist and my failure to acknowledge any responsibility for keeping up with it. I know first hand how a twist can fail you if you make a bad choice. Hopefully people work on it cause you don't want to be headed towards an end game and have that be your down fall!

Right away Daniel says he likes Rachel -- which you know what??? Yes I STAN for Georgina, but I LOVE Rachel. I am actually down for that evil bitch. She is smart and you know what? She's here to play a good game. Would I love her and Georgina to work it out and be bros, YESSSSS. So hopefully the bitches work it out but I am LOVING that Daniel is keen on Rachel.

Georgina and Taylor really messed up and I think that they have A TON of work to put forward. It's not just the fan poll, they outed themselves -- so maybe it is smart if Georgina and Taylor throw each-other under the bus but at the end of the day these two girls are going to be super strong competitors... the tribe will see this. I like that Daniel is more into Rachel. I'm personally hoping that because Gannon and Daniel will more then likely click up that Georgina will have an inn through Gannon to Daniel, and maybe a foursome of Rachel, Georgina, Daniel and Gannon could make my wet dreams come true. IDK

SURVIVOR GODS PLZ JUST DO ME THIS SOLID!!!

ohhhhh.... and I watched Maranda's video too, I mean I like her -- she doesn't owe anyone an explanation for dealing with her sick child, and it's not good to have missed the first call but it's not like the challenge begins until tomorrow! Hopefully she realizes this and makes a bigger effort to meet her tribe and resolve any of her personal concerns. Your own independent paranoia could be contagious and you don't want your insecurities to become a reality.

[joepurcell]

Well my comment was based mostly off yours and StephKatz's comment which she and I covered in iProd chat. Obviously we can feel free to say whatever we want in here. Lord knows we'll be sayin' some nasty shit lol. I just don't want players to feel discouraged about making confessionals in their own style/voice because I think that's the best thing for them to do, provided that they actually are giving out information and not just... pissing around like Scott Stretton (although those confessionals are fine as long as there's a majority of relevant ones, in my opinion).

That being said, yeah, 13 minutes is long lol. I barely have time or patience for five minute confessionals tbh. I just didn't mind it right now because at the time it was one of two video confessionals posted.

[joepurcell]

Also yeah I agree it's never ideal to miss the first call. A lot can go down on that first night. But there are two pivotal moments (in my experiences) at the start of any game: the first night (and it's calls/chats/etc.), and the first challenge. The first challenge can go a long way to shift whatever preconceptions have been made from the first night. I don't know how many times I've been in a tribe in the past, someone doesn't show up the first night and we all decide his ass is grass, but then they show up to the challenge, kick everyone's asses at it (but we still fail), and then the focus shifts on to someone else. So for people like Maranda or Yogi, that will be their saving grace. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that either is up to that task.

[ricky]

I don't know what I think about Brady! I think that he is going to do well but his confessional grated on my nerves. I am not even a Harlem Mark fan but he made me want to be? Brady offered the catch phrase "we will have to see", numerous times in his confessional and a lot of maybes here and there. He claims he wants to fight with Mark eventually, well he claims they will feud -- but Mark will ravage him, lol... can they just fight now??? IDK we got some psychos this season and A TON of entitled egos. These kids don't know what good is and I think they are really about to test their limits. This new generation is a little more out spoken and I really hope one or two people step it up. We need some legends in the making. Hopefully they can all REP Generation 4 and show us a thing or two.

So don't know how I feel about Brady. I think he's competent, but he makes me like the evil Harlem every time he speaks. Which is like not a good thing.

When it comes to Will the fact he didn't make a new thread annoyed me but that is sort of like a dumb reason to be annoyed so lol. I however like how he is already knee deep into the game but I have to say he gave an information overload which leads me to believe he may be too cray in the sense that I think he is going to over play. 

[lexi]

the more people talk about Rachel the more I actually kind of dig her, to be honest. And the more I think about it, I think Georgina is going to come out on top only because I don't think Taylor is as.....aware....as Georgina in a game. I can very much see theWORLD turning into a taylor vs. Georgina thing premerge and Georgina winning. (Even though Taylor has my heart forever and ever)

The more people talk about Rachel the more I like the badass bitch. I feel like she's super mature and smart and if she can keep that lowkey for the first few rounds I think she'll be golden till merge AT LEAST.

Will seems like a guy that can get SHIT done so please take out Hunter over Brady, I'm praying for it. I've never seen him play a game before but just based off his confessional, he seems like a really smart guy. He seems to be spitting a totally different game than the rest of them, but his game just makes sense for the most part right now. I'm interested to see the rest of the people he wants to add to the alliances confessionals. I think that he knows Maranda is a really good start for him to be honest and can be a step in the right direction to a majority alliance. If, of course, Maranda feels the same way.

Everything you said has me torn because I agree with you that he seems on top of his game and has some stuff figured out -- maybe im
judging a book by its cover with Will. I am seeing over compensation and over playing but I can see him in calls being super chill and likable. His confessional was a overload but I bet he is super well received by his peers!

[ricky]

I am really loving the insight from Miss Natalie in the Walmart parking lot!! Ok so here is the T. Constance first attempted to play a game in the 703 network is a bullshit ORG Wikia rip off and the series is pretty rigged. The main host and admin at the moment plays as his sister and it's a hot mess and they TOTALLY did Constance dirty but let's be fair... Constance is no saint!! Natalie is friends with the sock puppet and the person playing the sock and is pretty fooled. It's sad but I don't blame Natalie for being wary of Constance at all because besides the drama and the false impression, she's spot on. I hope she looks past it and pulls in crazy Constance! Turns out Will is NOT Over playing and an alliance is in fact in motion!!

[José]

it is sad that some people haven't even posted :/ maybe it's too early in the game, but I expect a full riot after a few rounds. I'm totally bias and rooting for Team World.

Constance sis……. <3 hahaha

Come on people let the alliances begin to build!
