It's hard to do two episodes in one go, but I'll give it my best shot.
Fang Gillian: OTT4, very outspoken, I'm tempted to put negative just because I found her negative, but I know it's just some slight bias. Crystal: MOR3, nothing fancy, maybe slightly positive when we compare her Olympian status with her challenge performance, but I wouldn't credit that. Susie: UTR1, I remember very little, but I remember she did do some talkin. Seems pretty bland so far. Mattie: MOR3, not as douchey as I thought, seemed pretty level-headed, but still just a MOR. Randy: MORN4, definitely ranty, I found him to be negative, didn't find him very complex. Dan: UTR1, seemed like a non-factor. GC: MORN4, I found him to be very one-tone, hardly complex. Started with Jeff saying that he was greedy for getting the idol, became a confident leader, to a negative leader. Ken: OTTP4, seemed like our lovable OTTP socially awkward underdog, the nerd stereotype was heavily used. Michelle: OTTN4, just felt like a bitch to me, didn't want to be there, only saving grace would be Ken, but even she talked down on him at TC a bit. Kota Bob: CPP3 Tempted to give OTTP, but I think we got enough of complexity from his confessional to warrant a CP. Ace: MORN3 I think he was more one-tone than complex, his strategic confessional were often cut short. Sugar: UTR1 Plain, was not expecting that. Marcus: MOR3 Boring, boring man. He's got strategy, but for him, I don't think it translates into CP. Charlie: MORP3 I thought it was cute how he was acting around Marcus. Paloma: UTR1 Perhaps a slight N for laughing at the yogers? Kelly: INV1 Jacque: INV1 Corinne: UTR2 Wants to be a bitch but doesn't have the facetime to. yawnz.I may or may not do episode two later. Here are my winner chances (for both episodes): Winner Chances: 1. Marcus - as much as I hate it, he is in the lead. He's boring, but he's the alpha male with the strategic comments. I do want to point out that, Jeff said he and GC were greedy for going for the idols first, could this foreshadow Marcus' power struggle? Set up very well too. 2. Dan - WEAK, weak first episode, but his second episode was good. He showed complexity, emotions, and Jeff made a "39 day comment" about him. 3. Crystal - Just a gut instinct right now, but she's fitting the criteria. OTHERS (in order): Ken (seems too lovable OTTP), Matty (seems too one-dimensional), Bob (seems too lovable OTTP), Corinne (needs to evolve), Ace (awful second episode and self-conscious gameplan), Randy (I think he was editted a lot softer than he could have been, but this ain't no winner edit), GC (he'll need a HELL of a lot to not get eliminated next episode). ELIMINATED: Charlie (his story is about Marcus), Susie (UTR), Paloma (UTR), Kelly (INV), Jacque (INV), Sugar (UTR). |

You actually make an OK point about the "selfishness" of going for the idols first.
It's kind of like compete for immunity or eat the hamburgers. If there was negative discussion about the greediness of the idol-takers, then we could be sure it would come back to haunt them (ala Guatemala and Exile Island), but if it has no effect at all, it'll just be ignored (China). Could possibly increase the odds of Marcus and GC since their idols were basically ignored. There was no bragging by either, and there was no gossip about either. |

Hey, everyone. I don't really have time to hand out reasons for all of my ratings, but from what I've gathered, they're not too far off from
what others have posted.
Crystal - MOR4

I just submitted my ratings for both episodes... I think. Phoenix, did you get them? =)

Someone with a sunny personality will end up with a few more P's than the edit alone probably elicited, and not wrongfully so, but the problem arises when we just start giving tone ratings based on who we "like" or not. It's not genuine to the analysis of the editing. So, to answer your question, what would make an edit N apart from personality? Negative SPV, villainy, saying things that clearly reflect a poor self awareness ("I'm a great fire-maker" cut to me attempting and failing to make fire), poor game play, bad logic, and things like that. Think of Blake in Guatemala the episode he got booted - there was nothing N about his personality, he was N in the edit because he was shown to be narcissitic, poorly aware of himself and how he affected other people, ignorant of the fact that he was cutting his own throat, etc. The principle I suppose that underlies what I'm saying is is that the editing doesn't have anything to do with their personalities. Sure, they'll leave what they want on the editing room floor, but 100% of a crumudgeon's footage is going to be ... crumudgeonly. |

sigh, my beloved Paul Newman died. Was going to rewatch the first episode, but now I'm doing a Newman fest.

ELIMINATED: Charlie (his story is about Marcus), These comments are KILLING me!! Not because I don't agree, but because it's pretty much the same thing we got with Amanda last season, but she was still on most people's winners lists. What's the difference? There isn't one. Sorry, I can't get it to unbold, lol. |

Hello everyone, I'm new to edgic but it looks fun and I feel like giving it a try. Here's hoping I did this right.

Amanda should have been eliminated at the very beginning in both her seasons, but she was spoiled to go far, and people just wanted to be right. Now that there are no spoilers, people are once again using their brains to eliminate clingers like Charlie. |

cindidindi76 wrote: The difference is this year, there are utterly NO spoilers. Unlike Amanda in China, where it was spoiled everywhere that she made F3/F2 and possibly could have won. If there were no spoilers, Amanda would have never been pegged as a winner. Personally I think Charlie still has a shot at winning, I've not counted out a single person yet. For all we know, the quiet ones might be hidden and one of them could win. The only ones out of it are Michelle and Gillian, IMO. |

cindidindi76 wrote:That's probably one of the reasons why Charlie's being eliminated. There was also that winner spoiler about Amanda. I don't think a winner would have an early edit all about their crush, but I do think there's a way to have his story move past Marcus and into a character of his own. That would be a very memorable arc. Whether that will happen or not, I have no idea, but I think it's still too early to assume Charlie will only be about Marcus. |

Remember when edgic picked Gary H and eliminated Danni, partly because her story was supposedly all about identifying him as a quarterback?

I think the 2nd part of the episode was Ace's "cooldown" from his big first half, and you know cooldown isn't a bad thing.

Luv is an idiot troll, Astro. I haven't seen him make a single post that wasn't completely stupid. And that including his bashing of Dan, Dr. Will,
Jun, and Maggie as shitty winners on the BB board, plus his ramblings in this topic.

That's what I thought, Kitty. Guess we'll just be ignoring him then. Is there a way to block users on Yuku?

I guess the best we can do is just click the little minus box in the upper right corner of his posts.
