Chat You Ever Just Think About Cutthroat Kitchen?

For reference, it is 1:04AM as I am beginning to write this, I have been like scrolling through my feed and I saw Cutthroat Kitchen get mentioned in a post called like- "Make Some Noise prompts that will never be on the show but I would like to see them", and I remembered Cutthroat Kitchen and by god I wanna just talk about it.

So, for those who don't know, Cutthroat Kitchen is a competitive cooking show, a term that either needs no introduction or will elicit reactions akin to either "Of course those fucking exist" or "What are you, 85?". The answer is "No", by the way, but my family for some reason loves cooking shows. Always my moms for some reason. But whereas shows like Chopped simply give you like- a set meal and maybe like a whammy ingredient to test your skills with, Cutthroat Kitchen is the funniest kind of bullshit that you can find on television.

It's hosted by Alton Brown, yes, Good Eats' Alton Brown, and the first thing he does at the beginning of every episode is give all four contestants $25,000- only the winner will get to keep what they have, all the other money goes right back into the briefcase. The twist is that unlike, say, Guy's Grocery Games where everyone gets a wacky game to play like "You can only use the frozen isle" or "You must only use six pounds of ingredients", not only are way more stupid and potentially game-destroying punishments on the table, they are for auction.

That's right, the big unique factor about Cutthroat Kitchen is that every round there are 2-3 punishments that you must use your $25,000 to bid on and then give to one or more of your opponents. This money does not refill between rounds, you only win what you don't bid away, and if your opponent has way more money than you do, they are obligated to abuse your poor planning skills! It's fucking awesome!

Here is just a list of actual punishments that people have bid on and subjected their fellow chefs to:

Giving up all of your ingredients and having to pick five new ingredients from a fully Japanese menu. The person punished did not speak Japanese.

Giving up your ingredients and being forced to get new ones from a vending machine.

Halfway through the challenge (Yes, they can happen halfway through a round and not just at the beginning), get chained to an anchor.

Being forced to spin a wheel to determine the only heat source you can use to cook your meal. Every fifteen minutes. Alton had to confirm it wasn't rigged to land on "microwave" because the poor fool got hit with it twice.

Being sent to a soundproof area. While your opponent is being told what they're supposed to be cooking. This was the final round of the episode too, so have fun risking everything on a blind meal!

Not being able to taste your own food while making it!

Being forced to choose to give up 15 whole minutes of your cooking time or use a whole, canned chicken.

All of your knives get replaced by a single ice skate.

You can only cook in two metal ramen bowls. This one also had a very comedic moment of what happened when the chef in question tried to cheat by using a normal pot for an egg when both of her bowls were already being used. Not pictured: Alton taking $500 from the chef immediately after.

You lose the ability to directly cook your meal, and instead must relay all instructions to "Private Bob". This one is extra funny because the chef in question, an army chef (This was an all-military service members episode) just leaned in entirely and began to shout with such zeal and power that it actually distracted the other chefs.

I could go all night telling you more punishments, it's now 1:41AM and I only wrote ten! (Partially because for some reason Wikipedia won't list them all.) And more fun facts- you're not allowed to tell the judge what punishments you got, nor will they care. On five separate occasions, a grown chef got stuck in a kiddie kitchen. That "whole canned chicken" is a recurring death sentence, to the point where that person I mentioned earlier happily gave up the 15 minutes to refuse using it. They only get 30 minutes.

If you have access to Cutthroat Kitchen, watch it. It is probably the funniest cooking show I've ever seen, it blows Guy's Grocery Games clear out the fucking water every time.

who are your favs from jjba and fe3h btw? any particular reasons why?

FE3H - i have very specific favs but a lot of characters i love in general so,

CLAUDE CLAUDE CLAUDE CLAUDE | I love Claude with my entire ass heart he’s so good!!! I relate to him to an extent and he’s peak romance. He’s like... just so good? He’s high romance and I’m so goddamn weak. I fell for him the moment i got through his dialogue for the first time. I’d originally been going for Dimitri/Blue Lions before I got the game, and my friend vice versa, and then we both started playing and realized we were going for each others brands instead

Hil-da! Hil-da! Hil-da! | My giiiiirl. She’s not my biggest fave i’ve ever had so to speak, like i don’t go quite as feral over her, but I fucking adore her. She’s funny, and sweet, and she’ll kick your ass! I would let her run into the middle of battlefields during my first playthrough and she’d just DESTROY enemies. Can you imagine how big her biceps have to be? imagine. Anyway I find Hilda very funny, sweet, and relateable, she’s the “girly girl” trope that’s done right, in my opinion. She’s never shamed for it, just for being lazy! I love her tho like honestly what an icon.

I would straight die for Auntie Manuela and her pack of rabid children. She’s so good... she’s got her problems but i for one think she’s hysterical, and i would adore being her friend.

Most of the golden deer are my favs, so I’m gonna branch out on my next one - Dimitri is an angel. I relate a lot to him and his experiences, and I just want him to be happyyyyyy

JOJO- i’ll try to limit to one/two per part fjaksdljfalsk

...j...jotaro.... I’m weak for this big dorky dumbass, he’s peak tomfoolery like he seems so put together but you look in his brain and its that one scene in spongebob where its the brain spongebobs and they’re screaming and trying to burn everything in a panic.

Josuke!!! I’ve got dumb bitch protag love disease so like every jojo i’ve fallen in love with except johnny i’m sorry buddy and Josuke is like, top tier on that list. He’s so good!! He’s just the right amount of “boys will be boys” mixed with feral, and prettyboy vanity. I love him. And he’s so kind????? Like yeah sure he’s done some PRETTY FUCKY THINGS ADMITTEDLY, REMEMBER THAT DUDE HE TURNED INTO A ROCK? YEAH. but yeah! Im love him.

Okuyasu is tied with Josuke and I”m love him very much. He’s so sweet!!! You just KNOW that whenever you look at him he’s got elevator music going on in his brain. He’s an angel - a big slightly dumb but extremely well intentioned angel who is extremely reckless and the same mix of “boys will be boys” and “feral” (also i mean the good boys will be boys like all of them colelctively sharing the same brain cell while doing stupid shit like Rowdyboy Jousting)

JEAN FUCKING PIERRE POLNAREFF. i love this big dumb himbo with my entire heart and i will literally be in tears if i think about him too much because he’s too fucking good. I could crawl into his arms and shove my face into his giant ass tits and die happy. He could lock me into a headlock and my heart would nut so hard i’d die. I want to sit in his lap and paint our nails together while talking about the latest dumb gossip we heard in between the commercial breaks of masterchef/kitchen nightmares/hell’s kitchen/chopped/cutthroat kitchen and then get too into the show and forget our nails arent dry and fuck them up while we’re yelling.

Guido Mista owns my entire ass he’s so fucking dumb at the same time he’s scarily competent. I accidentally mirrored his color scheme in my stardew valley outfit last night without realizing it and my friend (it was finch.... always finch) called me out and i felt extremely scandalized. Let me shove my leg into mista’s face, telling him to feel, and he asks “what did you shave?” before i cackle “NO!” and we both lose our shit together. I want to fall asleep on his shoulder on a long car/bus ride/during a movie and have him be too overwhelmingly romance-horny to be able to deal so he stays in the exact same position for like two hours despite really having to piss because he refused to wake me up. I wanna play with his hair and call his hat penis shaped to make him angry.

Foof is my fave p6 character (all the rowdygirl squad GOOD tho...) she’s just. she’s just so good. how can you look at foo fighters and not be overwhelmingly in love

Weather Report is my extremely horny on main fave i just want him to get real close in my face and ask if i want chinken nungnets for dinner before moving away like it was nothing but i get so overwhelmingly horny that pucci has to exorcise me

Diego Brando and Dio Brando both own my ass HARD. I have horrible horrible taste in men. Need I say more?

Yasuho is an angel and i will protect her with my life.

Gappy and I are in Yasuho protection squad and we cry over her every action no we do not take constructive criticism.

#not an imagine #mod strawberry #about strawberry #im so sorry this got so long #im love jojo characters in very specific ways #whereas fe3h i just like #generally go feral over in a different way #as you can see #anyway i wanna love my idiot husbands pol and mista

MEDIA DIARY JANUARY

:::::::::: MOVIES ::::::::::

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) I liked this so much I ended up seeing it twice. The animation is on a whole different level from everything else in theaters I just can’t believe it. Nothing has immediately endeared me to a character more that when Miles gets to the place where he’s going to put up graffiti and yells “BROOKLYN!” to get the echo. Absolutely perfect.

Happy Death Day (2017) The trailer looked good but the trailer for the sequel looked even better. Good time repeating movie. Way better than Blood Punch. I’m excited to see more of this.

Alien: Covenant (2017) Had no clue what to expect going in but I actually dug it. It’s just Alien again like every Alien movie but what they do with David from Prometheus makes it really interesting. There’s also some straight up slasher movie sleaze that definitely appeals to me.

MacGruber (2010) It’s just a bunch of dick jokes while a bad action movie happens. There’s no clever spin to it.

Better Luck Tomorrow (2002) Wanted to watch this due to the Fast & Furious connection. It’s a great movie about overachievers and getting away with shit. I think Justin Lin is a great director and his unique voice benefits every movie he does.

Collateral (2004) I didn’t realize until the credits that this was a Michael Mann movie but it was so obvious in hindsight. The premise is simple, Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx are great, and everything comes together in a genuinely cool film.

Wilson (2017) Based on a comic I don’t particularly like from Dan Clowes’ grumpy old man phase. The cool thing about the comic is that each page works on its own and has a different art style. The movie can’t do that. But it’s still faithful to the book which means it feels like a series of one page gags strung together until it finishes. Woody and Laura Dern are great though and it is pretty funny at times.

Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare (2018) There was another truth or dare based horror movie a year before that was a Syfy original. The Syfy one is better. The problem with them both is the supernatural contrivances that make people play truth or dare against their will. It’s such a strained premise.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017) Guy Ritchie made a King Arthur movie and it feels exactly like you’d expect.

Thoroughbreds (2017) Girl who can’t feel emotions befriends girl who is very politely hiding her extreme emotions. Things get bad when they start to think about murder. Anton Yelchin plays a druggie scumbag loser. It’s such a good movie. 100% my kind of thing.

:::::::::: TV ::::::::::

The Great British Baking Show (Beginnings, Collections 1-4) Got addicted to this one. I love cooking competitions shows and pleasant ones are usually the best. I like seeing competitors that like each other. I like Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry not trying to tear people down. I love Mel and Sue. It’s just a nice show for the nice people.

Toei Spider-Man (Episodes 1-5) I’m not a big toku guy but Spider-Verse got me curious about various Spider-Men. Takuya Yamashiro wasn’t bitten by a radioactive spider, he was injected with blood from the last survivor of Planet Spider and carries out a mission against Professor Monster’s Iron Cross Army to avenge Planet Spider and his own father. Next to nothing present from the classic Lee/Ditko Spider-Man and that’s totally alright. I’m going to try to watch more because the episode where Spider-Man has to donate his blood to hurt child has some serious heart.

The Prisoner (Episodes 7-17) I started watching this a while ago but only now got around to finishing. Mostly super clever plots and the atmosphere is always great. Patrick McGoohan sells it every single time. Some of the later episodes go really off the rails though. There’s an entire wild west episode. Nothing in this stretch tops my favorite episode, The Schizoid Man, where Number Two brainwashes Number Six to act differently and then forces Number Six to pretend to be Number Six while a different man is already pretending to be Number Six. The ending is solid though and carries a really good tv series to a confusing, surreal end.

Cutthroat Kitchen (Season 7, Episodes 1-7) Polar opposite of The Great British Baking Show. It’s the Mario Kart of cooking competition shows. Everyone tries to fuck each other over and Alton laughs at them the entire time. It’s brilliant.

:::::::::: PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING ::::::::::

TJPW Tokyo Joshi Pro ‘19 (January 4) I don’t follow TJPW and don’t know any of their wrestlers besides Meiko Satomura but I watched this because it was on before Wrestle Kingdom. Meiko vs Reika Saiki definitely made the show worth watching and the rest was pretty alright. Lots of fun, new personalities that I like.

NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 13 (January 4) Probably the most I’ve looked forward to a show and it absolutely delivered. For the past few years I’d watch WK and recommended matches but in in July I started following everything NJPW. That added investment made this WK special. Ibushi/Ospreay tore it up and I really hope Ibushi recovers soon. Jay White/Okada shocked me. Naito/Jericho was fucking brutal. And Kenny Omega vs Hiroshi Tanahashi was a match I was so invested in that I thought I was going to cry. If you haven’t checked out New Japan yet this show would make an excellent start. GO ACE!

Impact Homecoming (January 6) Impact has gotten pretty good. I’ve only seen a few of their most recent ppvs but it’s obvious that they have a wealth of talent and they’re willing to tell the kind of dumb stories that I really like. Since Homecoming was in Nashville I went and it was one of the best shows I’ve been to. The energy was insane all night and LAX vs Lucha Bros has to be the best match I’ve seen live. Now that they air on Twitch I’ve been following the weekly show and enjoying it quite a bit.

WWE Royal Rumble (January 27) I always love the rumble but the rumble was weird. Both rumble matches were okay but filled with dumb stuff and way too many recovery spots that were immediately deflated by the person getting eliminated. I like the winners. AJ/Daniel didn’t deliver like I wanted. Sasha and Ronda had a good match. I loved how Finn Balor worked Brock Lesnar’s diverticulitis. Fun show.

NXT UK Takeover Blackpool (January 12) NXT UK doesn’t really grip me aside from the women’s division. I liked this well enough but nothing really changed my mind. Finn Balor made a surprise appearance and he looked like such a star compared to everyone else. Excited to see what WALTER can do here though.

GCW 400 Degreez (January 12) GCW’s brand of hardcore indie nonsense is my absolute favorite. 400 Degreez isn’t the best they’ve done but it was full of disgusting beautiful deathmatch bullshit. Markus Crane vs Nate Webb especially.

NXT Takeover Phoenix (January 26) Takeover always delivers. Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet was definitely the match of the night. I don’t dig the War Raiders schtick but their match was great. Bianca Belair and Shayna Baszler also killed it.

:::::::::: COMICS ::::::::::

One Piece by Eiichiro Oda (Volumes 1-10) I wanted something long to start reading so why not One Piece? Enjoying it so far. I like getting the crew together and Usopp’s story in particular is great. Oda is a master cartoonist. I love every time we get reaction faces.

Spider-Man: Fever by Brendan McCarthy Spider-Man fever got me wanting to revisit Spider-Man: Fever because I remember liking it. I still like it. Doctor Strange accidentally opens a doorway into a spider dimension and Spider-Man gets caught in Doctor Strange’s bathtub and the alternate dimension spiders take him. All this and McCarthy’s art make Fever pretty far out.

Spider-Man 2099 by Peter David, Kelley Jones, and Rick Leonardi (1-15) Miguel O’Hara wasn’t bitten by a radioactive spider, he had Peter Parker’s DNA put into him by weird future DNA machine and he wages war against the gigantic corporations that control everything. I like Spider-Man 2099. Miguel is so different from the Peter Parker archetype and he’s got claws and fangs. He’s brutal. It’s got a neat post-hero future kind of like Batman Beyond. I stopped reading because the next part is a crossover with Punisher 2099, Ravage 2099, Doom 2099, and X-Men 2099. I’ll hopefully pick it back up because I want to know what happens with the hologram that’s in love with Miguel.

Spider-Man by Kazumasa Hirai & Ryoichi Ikegami Yu Komori was bitten by a radioactive spider and he definitely wishes he wasn’t. It starts off a lot like our usual Spider-Man but the villains are so much more tragic and Yu deals with some heavy shit. Ikegami’s art evolves from cartoony to serious as the tone of the book changes. He’s a really incredible artist who is consistently pulling neat tricks and trying new things. I really liked this and it may top my favorite Spider-Man comics. It’s just so bleak and unforgiving to poor Yu. By the way, the final plotline is exactly the same as the Sonny Chiba movie Wolf Guy. Turns out the comic that movie was based on was written by the same guy that write Spider-Man. An odd find.

:::::::::: VIDEOGAMES ::::::::::

Axiom Verge Had my eye on this for a long time and finally picked it up on sale on my Switch. It’s okay. There are a lot of clever ideas here that I don’t think work for me. But I do like the decorrupter and the teleport. Some of the movement feels great but some stuff like the grappling hook feels awful. I hate the story. Completely incoherent sci-fi nonsense. But it’s a fun game and I enjoyed my time with it.

Hollow Knight I’ve spent about 30 hours on this game and I feel like I’m close to the end of the story. I absolutely love it. The movement, the combat, and the exploration all feel excellent. I’ve played over ten metroidvanias in the past year (I really like them) and this might be the best. My favorite part about them is how you’re almost never wasting time because there are new secrets to discover all across the map and Hollow Knight does such a good job with that.

maybe talk about a few games, shows, movies, pieces of media in general that you’re looking forward to coming up? or stuff you've been meaning to check out

hmmm okay

the obvious first, arrowverse stuff is coming back in a few months… for a long time i didn’t watch much tv, let alone tv as it was airing, so being in a fandom that does is kind of exciting! anyway. im most EXCITED for legends, because everything about s4 sounds great so far. arrow…. is going to exist. and i will have to watch some of it. and while im less invested in the flash, it is nice to talk to my sister about it when it’s airing. soo i am looking forward to the fall

let’s see, what games am i looking forward to… death stranding, obviously. everyone knows im hype about that at this point. uhhh, the new assassin’s creed looks VERY interesting. i was into dragon age for a while, and ubisoft taking nods from bioware when bioware steps back on that is… interesting. TLOU2 looks good, and TWAU2 is coming out someday, right? what else from e3… uh

im also looking forward to heaven will be mine, which is by the same people who did we know the devil, which i loved. thats not high on anyone’s radars, but im looking forward to it

also new mainline pokemon game some…. day….? even if i don’t actually play much of the new games, i love the hype of learning about a new gen!

oh i am obligated to add that the new wow expansion is coming out soon! battle for azeroth aka BOFA (or BFA, i guess, if you’re boring). some things ive seen have made me a bit worried, especially since we’re just coming off of a really GOOD xpac, but there are some things im very excited for. expect me to be just gone for like 3 days in august when it drops,

movies, movies… i want to see ocean’s 8 but i am not sure i am gonna get a chance while it’s still in theaters. maybe later. i am also weirdly looking forward to destination wedding? it looks funny is a very particular way. also some of the horror things like suspiria and hell even the nun (annabelle 2 was pretty good, and the nuns looks… okay, but sometimes okay is all you need)

i’m hesitantly hopefuly about birds of prey! thats a while off, but… i have hope in the DCEU because it feels like it’s just having an identity crisis. a little bit like pre-avengers mcu, which was very hit or miss. dceu is uh, maybe a bit more miss, but. wonder woman was good! and justice league was okay. so i feel like if the dceu just hunkers down and gets more down to earth, it can turn it around. plus the idea of a birds of prey movie is exciting (even if harley’s involved? whatever. it could work). im not as familiar with the comics as i should be, but.. the possibility of black canary or even huntress on the big screen! i hope the roster they pick doesn’t end up being weird. but as long as they do it right (and a female director? and a smaller budget seems like a good sign) i think it could be big. the dceu’s biggest advantage rn is the fact they DID get out a female solo film before marvel, and it was really fucking good. if they can pull out a good female team film, that gives them a lot of cred imo

i guess i’m hesitantly interested in aquaman, but i wasn’t too impressed with him in justice league. well, maybe a solo film can turn that around.

on a lighter note, the great british baking show is airing right now! i like to watch that with my parents sometime. i like cooking shows when i’m not feeling well, and this one is very…. feel good. they dont ramp up the tension and drama like a lot of other food shows do (which isnt necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes you want to watch cutthroat kitchen and sometimes you don’t). and since it’s baking there’s lots of pastries and sweet things that i am actually invested in thinking look good. its one of those comfort shows, tbh

i feel like theres more but i am, inevitably, forgetting

#thanks meeks!#also westworld but season 3 is god knows when #rorykillmore

Ep. 5 - “i want to see a live reaction to this in the reunion chat” - Maynor

Stephen

Ahahaha by the grace of the inactivity gods im still here. This is my karma for suffering through the preseason of Erinsborough. Now, I may not have actually gone home, but who knows I had an gut feeling and those are usually right.

Stephen

*laughing about surviving* Jay: Music Videos! *stops laughing*

Dylan C

me: [volunteers to edit for this challenge] me: [regrets this 5 min later]

John

ok i have a LOT of tea that needs spilled so sit back, relax, and enjoy this feature presentation:

-first things first, cormac. why couldn’t you have just voted. i would have one more ally and stephen would be out. so thanks.

-second, zoe told me about her advantage and how she has connections to the other side so that we should have a group of 5 at the merge. so that’s mind blowing. i’m just like in shock because in a way, cormac getting pulled allowed me to be zoe’s number 1. and that’s amazing. we stan.

-third, sierra is driving me insane. constant overdrive from her, and she’s starting to cross the divide between helpful and micromanaging. she can micromanage herself out of the game for all i care.

-fourth, timmy is ADORABLE. i’m definitely trying to get a cross tribal alliance with him bc wow. he cute. like really. he’s cute.

Keith John

Well if episodes are named here, This title of this episode would be "How you get screwed When tribal council gets Cancelled."

From being in a safe position last night to waking up and realizing that I am screwed in this game.

First of all, THANK YOU CORMAC for going out at the worst time possible. Last night my name was thrown out by Stephen. So obviously people entertained the idea.I do feel that I would have stayed but Cormac's evac has changed alot.

I had a planned final three with Cormac and Zoe, with Cormac gone. I'm down one alliance member.

Stephen is still in the game. And I know he is targeting me.

Maynor never spoke to me about the vote much. Inspite of me approaching him before tribal to see if he wanted to work together

John. who said he would have my back and would tell me if anyone would throw my name out. Never told me about Stephen's plan. I am sure he knew about it.

Sierra and I haven't bonded much personally. A little my fault there.

And Lastly Zoe. I know for now she definitely has my back. And I have hers but it feels like my game is extremely dependent on her. I feel alot of people want to work with her. And how long will she want to work with me? That I don't know.

Honourary mention: JAY thanks for throwing a challenge that I would suck at the most. I hate being on camera, Hate singing unless I wanna punish someone.

Raffy

Cormac being gone kind of relieves me since he has been giving me bad vibes ever since day 1 of this game. Now that's just one more person that I do not talk to out of the way. I figure that merge is happening at 11 because Jay said there was a twist which can only mean that it is merge or that someone is coming back into the game. Maybe both. I'm just going to focus on winning this challenge for my tribe by providing the lip sync of my life. This shit is about to be so FIRE.

Raffy

I think I am fully in crackhead behavior. I just messaged 6 people at the same time trying to have conversations with them. This one world has made a mess of me, and I do not like it. Also, I am pretty much giving up on the idol because I don't want to go through the effort of hunting for it. So, instead, I'll just pray that it isn't used against me.

Maynor

Well. Now im not sure if Stephen vote was true or not but i have to rely on that my allies were gunna be with me. Its sad seeing cormac go since he was someone i connected with. But im glad it was done before tribal and not after tribal. Im hoping we could win immunity this round since im still feeling a little nervousish.

Maynor

Catch me voting out John for calling Timmy cute.

Omg. Like i want to see a live reaction to this in the reunion chat. Them finding out we are dating. 😂😂

Raffy

I kind of put my neck out there in this challenge by suggesting the song. While I am not editing the video, I did make the song suggestion which is almost as important. Perhaps this could lead to my downfall. Furthermore, I talked to Dylan and they said that only themselves, Ellie, Justin, and I submitted videos which means we are missing Timmy's and Joseph's. Plus, editing takes a long time, so Dylan might not even use their videos if they are late. I just hope what people managed to film is enough. I've never won a music video challenge, and I am hoping this game can change that. I'm not that confident though.

Raffy

I think I have made some strong connections in this tribe and the other. The people who I have talked about staying strong and working together include Justin, John, Dylan, Ellie, Timmy, and Keith. This seems like a diverse group of people that I can fall back on if one ends up turning their back on me. I always have to have back-up allies, otherwise I am liable to get voted out early in merge which I suspect is soon. I just want to establish myself in another alliance, but that seems hard in this game. I don't know who would be in that new alliance, but it would be some combination of the people I mentioned and others who I get good vibes from. Let's pray for me!

John

if rupaul was judging this music video challenge, she’d be telling us to sashay away. we are literally on the level of valentina with her mask on bad.

Ellie

Let’s hope that this damn video comes togather

Stephen

We’re losing this challenge. Theres only about 4/5 of us in the video, a lot of the video is from the original music video and the rest is... ok, but not great. Dylan CI wanna say we have a better video but I'm gonna be the most biased on the tribe since I edited the damned thing for about four hours. I had to sacrifice some synchronicity a little bit towards the beginning to get Ellie in for the 10 seconds for the extra points. I had originally trimmed her clip to what I could match up the best, but then I double checked the post lol. Hope the judges don't care too much there.

Dylan C

I'm not even gonna go feral. I'm just gonna lay face down on my kitchen floor for a while.

Stephen

I.... okay, im not complaining. But yeah judges thanks but the fuck?

Dylan C

I'm like, actually upset right now? Like not so much that we lost, but that I spent all that time editing, when I've been worried about getting all my homework done this weekend but I volunteered to edit and wasn't about to back out cos that'd be shitty!!, only to lose by 20 motherfucking points. And also? I worked with what my tribe gave me bitch!!! Raffy was the only one who recorded the whole song, Justin did like half, Ellie and Joseph only gave me short clips, and Timmy was sick so he didn't film anything? I just wasted my entire afternoon and evening on this when I have real life shit I should've taken care of, but I made a commitment to my tribe, and for what? Tribal that's going to be happening while I'm at one of my Thanksgiving events! Granted, that was going to occur regardless upon losing since I'll be busy both Thanksgiving and the day after. But fucking still. Kinda just wanna ghost the world atm.

John

i’m kinda torn that we won. on one hand, we’re safe. on the other hand, i wanted to vote out stephen. so like, i’m feeling mixed emotions. these people will be dangerous to take to the merge. i hope it’s not next.

Dylan C

Kinda funny how I was so zazzed to be strategic at the start of this but I really haven’t been since. Strategy? I don’t know her. Also I’ve been ass about socializing one on one with ppl on the other tribe so I have a feeling that’ll bite me in mine.

Sierra

By some miracle, we’re safe! I’m so glad that we don’t have to vote anyone out right now... especially because I don’t have my vote right now. Maybe I can make it to the merge and hide for the first vote there without having to vote.

Joseph Collins

I am confusion. Dylan did such a good job editing. Our tribe and group is such a great mix of personalities and stories. And they came together to blend and make an amazing video. I actually got emotional watching it. I was very surprised to find out we lost. And now, we have to vote someone off our tribe. I hate it so much. I feel like it’s gonna be Timmy. He was absent in the time-crunch immunity challenge. Even Justin showed up and showed out which I thought was awesome. I like Timmy. And I feel like this is a hard vote for others so now I have to go be cutthroat Jo

Justin

Alright, so another tribal for us. I feel better than last time, but I'm still not 100% confident I won't be targeted again. Before the results for the challenge came in though, Raffy approached me and started talking to me some more about working together which makes me feel better keeping him around. Especially since I realized that he talks to me more than Ellie, so honestly I want her out now cuz whenever I talk about working together she leaves me on read. So, in conclusion I don't want you in the game lol. At least Raffy talks to me and says he wants to work with me, even if it might be fake. I told Joseph that I would like Ellie out, but he says Timmy cuz he doesn't talk to him and he feels Ellie could be our shield. I don't want him to go yet because I feel like he would vote with me, but I'm not jeopardizing my game to save him since he barely talks to me too. Although Joseph makes a good point that Ellie can make a good shield, I feel like we have other shields to hide behind in Raffy and Dylan. Plus, I feel like she has more connections than Timmy could get if he keeps playing the way he is.

Maynor

Im so happy that we were able to pull of the win in immunity. Im making it to the final 11. I really want to make it far in this game. I am really hoping Timmy stays alive. Like i know its bias cuz we are together. But we normally dont play the game together. Im just hoping we can make it far together this time. Plus ❤️ Jay. It would be amazing if i won this game. Me winning my first and last game would be pretty awesome. So im going to try my hardest.

Timmy

So apparently Justin is going around saying my name. Does this idiot not realize that I’m the reason he stayed last tribal we went to. Like seriously, and apparently he’s telling everyone the same thing that he’ll be with them always. And he calls me inactive, like sorry you message me at 9am when I’m walking into work and j can’t answer you until like 5pm when I get out. He better leave this tribal. I wish it was happening tonight just to also move things forward.

Dylan C

Me? Lying by omission to Ellie? It’s more likely than you’d think. Justin gave me her name earlier, and I tried to talk him out of it. He made a comment about keeping it between us. Now Ellie’s told me that Justin through her name out. “Between us.” Sure, Jan. And hey, I never mentioned it to Ellie or Raffy in our alliance chat (which exists as of last night). So I did keep it between us unlike him. Didn’t mention it because he had a decent point about Ellie’s strong social game, but now isn’t the time to try to get her out, IMO. Especially since I’ve just allied with her. Granted, I’ve turned on allies shortly after making alliances before but that’s not happening in this game. No way. So, I just acted like I didn’t know when Ellie told me and I’ll keep on that. That’s how I’ve been doing a lot: acting like some information people has given me is new to me (usually with Joseph tbh) when it isn’t new at all. Just kinda agree, maybe say I was already thinking about that, but not imply that I’d been Discussing it, depending on how I’m talking to.

Ellie

So Justin is scrambling like HARDCORE, He threw Timmy’s name out and hen my name out right after saying that we were tight, and he’s so paranoid and it’s driving all of us crazy. Like we have until tomorrow night, chill out. And Jospeh really wants Timmy out but I’m like IF WE TAKE JUSTIN TO MERGE HE WILL FLIP WITHIN FIVE MINUTES!! Timmy might not be the most active but at least he’s fucking loyal. Raffy, Timmy, and I want Justin out so badly. Dylan is trying to listen before making a concrete decision, and Joseph and Justin want Timmy out. Justin even wants me out apparently.

RaffyA lot happened today, so I am going to break it down. Last night, Timmy, Ellie, and I (Just Go With It) discussed the vote early. Timmy suggested that we might want to get rid of Joseph or Dylan since he thought he would be able to sway Justin, since he considers Justin a close ally to him. That's when we all compared notes that Justin had claimed his apparent closeness to everyone on the tribe. This immediately put him on my radar as it could be a sign a double-crosser later down the road. As was not going to push anything since tribal was two days away, however I did talk with Ellie a little bit and she seemed down to vote Justin since she had a close relationship with Joseph and Dylan. While this was happening, Dylan created the Hypothetical Alliance with Ellie and I. This is great news since that means Ellie and I have control over two other votes (Timmy and Dylan) based solely on votes. In this way, whoever I wanted gone would go. Justin messaged me early in the morning asking about the vote. He heavily suggested that we vote for Timmy because he is inactive and bad at challenges, but those are the things that I want in an ally going into a merge. Besides that, Justin was asking incessant, paranoia-filled questions regarding the vote and would not let up. It is safe to say that he doesn't get that he's being incredibly messy and scramble-y when he doesn't have to be. The vote isn't until tomorrow, yet he's acting like it's in thirty minutes! The King of Crack right here! Anyways, so I told Ellie and then she was experiencing the same thing, so we then told Timmy. Timmy instantly wanted him gone which meant what I wanted from the beginning was going to happen. Furthermore, I learned from Ellie that Justin does not trust me and that he thinks I am vague and noncommittal. Not only that, apparently Ellie heard him say her name from someone. This dude is incredibly dangerous for my alliance! So, I was determined to see him go and to get everyone to go after him. Joseph was a tough nut to crack. He was very adamant today about voting out Timmy and keeping Justin. Apparently, Ellie got through to him, but I do not know how well that worked out for her. I have a feeling that Justin also said that he was tight with Joseph to the latter as he did with everyone. And Joseph thinks it is serious which means they'll be a powerful duo going into merge. I have to keep my eye on Joseph and make sure he doesn't slip from my grasp. Other than that, I managed to get Dylan on board with the vote as they thought Justin's paranoia and overall messiness was also a danger going into merge. Finally, Zoe approached me today asking who I felt good with. I knew she was sniffing for an alliance so I said Ellie, Dylan, and Timmy. She suggested that, since a merge was coming soon, that we create an alliance with Dylan, Timmy, and John making us a strong 5. I immediately agreed of course. A strong alliance helps me navigate the merge more comfortably and easily. Plus, in that alliance, I have Dylan and Timmy to have a majority over the decisions. So, if it came down to us 5, I would be good. Not only that, but this means that Dylan and Timmy will vote together in this tribal along with Ellie and I, ensuring that Justin goes to EoE. This is all working out for me. I do not know whether to tell Ellie about this alliance eventually, but I am planning on keeping it pretty tight-lipped for the most part. What doesn't kill her makes her stronger. And that's what you missed on Glee Johndamn. who knew i’d align myself with the perfect ride or die. she has an advantage and NOW she has an idol?! she is STACKED, and now i gotta protect her at all costs.

Maynor

Ive been talking to Keith a lot more now but heard from Timmy that people have been saying that he has been doing that with everyone so idk what to think of our bonding. Like i would like to think he would be on my side but who knows. We been talking about pokemon cards and the funko pops that i have. Its been fun. Im really glad talking to him more.

Keith John

Due to thanksgiving. Tribal was moved a day ahead and everyone was busy celebrating. So things have been slow.

I decided to take the opportunity to complete the fox portion of the idol hunt. which turned out to nothing, As Zoe already informed me and Cormac that she got the advantage. after informing her I told her I will give the other path on the idol hunt a try. didn't want to go behind her back and do it. especially we are expecting a swap. this is my first time playing so I'm not sure that its a sure swap or another twist.

Also finally I messaged Timmy again. After he didn't reply to me the first time. which was like 10 days ago. I know since I felt that I wasn't in the best position possible during the last tribal. I should have made an attempt before to talk to him as I need people, any people who want to work with me. But since I have had previous instances when I worked abroad, when people immediately snubbed or ignored me or changed their attitudes towards me when they found out that I am a Pakistani. N for a moment I felt like Timmy had decided that he didn't want to work with me. And me being a Pakistani was the reason. Which I guess is stupid on my part, I saw he added other people from the game to his skype. But didn't even reply to me. So When Zoe brought up the possibility of working with him. I decided to approach him again. This time he did reply. he seems nice but reserved. hopefully, we swap on the same tribe since we might have mutual friends who want to work together. But I would also like to make a genuine friendship with him and whether that becomes an alliance or not. that's to be seen.

OK Signing off for the night.

Timmy

People are quiet today in PMs but i hope that’s since we talked about tribal yesterday. Justin better be going bc he’s a snake ass bitch and I can’t deal with that shit.

Zoe

I got an idol, folks!!!!!!

I'm incredibly surprised at the rest of the tribe's laziness, considering I now have an advantage and an idol. The downside of the idol is that I have lost my vote next tribal, so now I really have to have trust in my tribe members and alliances cross tribal to keep me going through the twist, unknown as of five minutes before tribal. I predict a swap, but (not) knowing Jay makes me doubt that as well.

I'm still really sad about Cormac, but it's my game, not his game. As long as I can still count on my other connections, I'll just have to go on strong and know that it wasn't his time.

#pimpmybio

this is approximately 1000 years late and i don’t even use this blog anymore but i needed somewhere to put this lmao so here we go. it’s going under a read more because even though i think i hate talking about myself i know this will probably get long 🙃

some basic facts before i get into the fun stuff:

recent college grad (english major woo)

i love any and all animals but some favorites are: sea otters, cats, dogs, sloths, penguins.......basically i love cute things

at this point in my life i need a hea / hfn which is why i read/write romance. sorry @ every other genre. it’s not you, it’s me

everything i write has an ownvoices aspect

you can find me on twitter here just in case you found this somewhere that is not twitter

five facts about my ms

adult contemporary romance

set in media, pa just outside philly

family dynamics are important

imo the heroine, olivia, is pretty funny when she’s not stressing out about money

the hero, graham, wants to help olivia but she’d rather nobody know about her problems because she’s got it, thanks.

extra fact: 😏

some notes about my ““process””

lmao

i debated leaving it at that but i’m a Serious Writer so here we go

usually, i write in the mornings. sometimes i write at night but it doesn’t flow as well idk why

i open a blank doc, name it ‘characters and outline,’ and i break that into sections

ex: characters, summary, outline; some books get more sections like history, lore, etc but this one just had the first three

sometimes i start with a few lines of dialogue, an image, or a short description of characters and go from there

ex: for this ms, i had three jumping off points. 1. olivia owns a bookstore, 2. graham works at a bakery, and 3. this visual “there has to be a moment where he caresses her chin and winks at her before leaving.” those were the only three things in the characters and outline doc until i started planning

other times, i write a summary for the book. a mini-query, if you will.

i just remembered i did that for this ms and i’m so upset i didn’t incorporate parts of it in my pitch wars query 🙃

for this ms, i made a timeline. it just made sense because i needed to reference if something happened on a certain day, what time, and how much time had passed from beginning to end

the timeline also served as an outline. i wrote chapter numbers and added the scenes and which character would have the pov in each scene, since it’s a dual pov book

ummmmmmm. after the timeline was done i started writing. there was a lot of going back to change the timeline but it was mostly additions once i realized some characters needed more face time for the reader to get to know them or something like that.

i’m sure i missed something but that’s the gist~

six random hobbies / favorite things / etc

all you need to know about me is i watched hart of dixie for the first time a month ago and i’m now obsessed. zoe and wade 5ever

no jk i also love 3 of 4 current dctv shows. they got me back into comics which is awesome

i love girl groups and boy bands and i have my whole life

i’m a sucker for a good historical drama and i love tv shows focused on food (especially great british bake off, cutthroat kitchen, chopped, and guy’s grocery games)

i love video games? my boyfriend got me into playing a baseball game on my phone so that’s fun. i also like the sims, sim city, pokemon in any iteration, fantasy life, and diablo 3.

favorite tropes: when they have to sleep in the same bed 👌🏽, friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, fake dating, fish out of water, return to hometown, reunion, royalty, and time travel. i’m sure i’m missing some but oh well

favorite songs right now: dua lipa’s whole cd, boys by charli xcx, get low by liam payne (fun fact: that’s where i got the title for my ms), heroe favorito by romeo santos, blue electric roses by travis garland, and any acoustic version of a little mix song

favorite tv characters: iris, wally, and cisco from the flash, zoe, wade, lavon and annabeth from hart of dixie, ravi from izombie, penelope from criminal minds, snart and mick from legends of tomorrow, and mary from reign

this got so much longer than i wanted it to whoops!! okay i’ll end with this: good luck fellow hopefuls!!! relax and stop checking your email 😂

#pitch wars #pimp my bio #well this kept me out of the pwteaser tag for a solid hour so cool #i feel so exposed now lmao #'relax and stop checking your email' i type as i check my email #i'm a mess
