#yes the professors self cannibalized but that's exactly because they didn't trust their comp winners not to turn on them

I kinda hate how Cirie's demise has exposed how comp dependent BB has become. Like yeah we been knew, but it’s like… you don't need to do all this song and dance on Survivor. But because a single person has the power to control the fate of everyone in the house week to week, it requires players to cover themselves on all sides, resulting in the post-16 meta of a huge onion alliance to maximize one's chances of not hitting the block any given week. There's no need for that in Survivor; the only person an immunity winner can impact is themselves, so the rest of the tribe isn't forced to play around the whims of a single person. And with the comps themselves becoming increasingly physical over the years, somehow this glorified summer camp is more dependent on physical fitness than the game that starves people on an island for a month and a half.

#bb25 #like am i making sense? #bb allows players to wield raw power in a way one cant on survivor #and this raw power comes from winning comps #you have to align yourself with people in order to not have that power used against you #and then not do anything to piss them off #j*ckson m*chie created his ideal endgame by trading comp wins with his showmance #an immunity run in survivor only guarantees your own safety #yes the professors self cannibalized but that's exactly because they didn't trust their comp winners not to turn on them #the whole leftovers thing with hisam and red's connection with cam #7ds was formed at least in part to cover cirie/izzy/felicia in the event matt or jag won an hoh #okay sure yeah say im making excuses but i hope im making sense #eta: i see that there's a bsb meeting rn and thats what i mean #cirie could pull off a miracle and here and it simply wouldnt matter if even one person stays anti cirie and that person wins hoh #blah blah social game but there's a hell of a lot less room to maneuver if you're up against only one other person
