Real Survivor: The Fox, the Bear, the Goat and the Bunny

Image
Survivor fans such as myself are mostly familiar with certain terminology. For example, to be purpled is to be placed in the complete background of a particular editing, to the extent where you are utilized like the shelter or water well, firmly in the background of a lot of scenes without being in the forefront barring something bad happening to you, like the shelter being blown over or the well being contaminated. Perhaps the first bit of terminology that has a unique meaning is to be a goat, or someone who is used like an extra vote by another player or group of players. However, where the name "Goat" actually came from is something many fans, even hardcore ones, do not know the answer to. They would point to where someone like Ethan Zohn said it in early seasons and credit it to them. The person who actually coined this term is SurvivorSucks user sunsawed, whose article can be found here . Basically, he stated that most Survivor final fours consist of four different playe

Survivor 41 Cast: Most Similar Player - Part 2

To find out my criteria, etc. please check out Part 1. Please share my post with your friends and without further ado, let's head right in. Danny McCray - Brad Culpepper  I really think Danny is going to end up having been one of the underrated players on this cast. So many people (including me) anticipated a big strong oaf who would boss challenges but portray "the emotional range of a teaspoon" to quote Hermione Granger. This was something most also thought would be true of Brad Culpepper, but both seem emotionally and mentally intelligent as well as being huge Survivor fans, and I think Danny will likely play a game similar to Brad's Game Changers performance, especially if he can survive the first post-merge vote. Naseer Muttalif - Johnathan Penner  Why he was predicted for a first boot I do not know. This prediction is looking a bit more into the future, but I definitely see at least one flip coming from Naseer. I think he will turn out as a above-par player who

Survivor 41 Cast: Most Similar Player - Part 1

Pretty simple here: I will be telling you which player every new castaway is, in my eyes at least, going to be most similar to. I do unfortunately have a lot of castaways to get through, so my explanations will be brief. There will be spoilers for the first episode, and if you do not have access please consider looking at this YouTube channel, where you can find all the episodes, as well as old challenges, older seasons and more. It is also helpful to recap what went on if you have watched the show. Anyway, let's head straight in.  Eric Abraham  I stated before the season began that Eric would be either a Rudy or a Phillip, and I think the latter is correct. They have similar mannerisms, served in the army, have a lot of tattoos and neither was afraid to talk or be the first to put a name forward. This strategy is better suited for a bigger tribe, and he was the first boot of the season.  Sara Wilson  Let me just start by saying that Sara annoyed the hell out of me and I thank her

Pep Guardiola: The Best Fraud

Image
To clear it up, Pep Guardiola is a very good manager. Under certain conditions he is amazing. I am merely trying to prove why he is NOT anywhere near the best ever manager. Solely in the Premier League Thomas Tuchel and Brendan Rodgers are as good and Jurgen Klopp is better. I will look at older criticisms, but I actually have some more insightful criticisms I haven't seen made to look at. So without further ado, let's go!  Nothing Revolutionary  When has Pep Guardiola done the unexpected. At the beginning he was at Barca B. He won the fourth division of Spanish football. This was a division they hadn't been in for over a quarter of a century, and like Fulham in the Championship they were expected to win. And can anyone honestly tell me that the likes of Ralph Hasenhuttl, Graham Potter or even Steve Bruce couldn't win the Spanish fourth division with the best team in the division. And you might say "Oh, he was a new manager! He had no experience!" The likes of
