Continuing the journey of watching Survivor with my brother, we just started Pearl Islands today and his girlfriend is joining us now.
Within 2 seconds of Sandra’s first confessional, they both said “I love her!” and when she was bartering in the village my brother was like “She’s amazing, she has to win.”
So this season should be fun.
#survivor#also as an update: we've gone through philippines. tocantins. cook island. millennials v gen x. china.#micronesia. and cagayan.  so once we finish pearl islands we'll watch HvV since he'll know 11/20 contestants for that season.#his girlfriend joined us for the final 2 episodes of cagayan (had to catch her up a lot) and i was worried she wouldn't be into it#but she's like 'oh i watch the bachelor and love island. i'm so into reality tv' and i'm like 'great! we'll have fun'#also... i've never seen pearl islands in full... yes i am a disgrace to the survivor fandom. wait until i tell you i've never see HvV either#both those seasons got spoiled for me by the time i really got into the fandom so i never found the time to go back and watch them#(i'm very much a new school fan working my way slowly to the older seasons i have access to)#(and any season that has missing episodes on hulu i have not watched. aka anything before Exile Island Panama sorry)#(and we'll have to bootleg episode 6 of pearl islands since it's not on hulu)#so while i know boot order and big events of both seasons it will be interesting to see the nuances#and this will be one of the few times i'll be watching seasons for the first time alongside him instead of rewatching.#after Heroes vs Villains i still haven't decided what to watch next. i want to get him to see Second Chances so maybe SJDS first#also my brother keeps saying stuff about contestants and watching my face for reactions so i gotta be careful#luckily tonight we were eating while watching so i just took a big bite after he raved about Sandra before looking at me for a reaction

Idk if you're taking prompts or would even want to do this one because it is so dumb... Just finished watching Too Hot To Handle on Netflix and goodness what a great show. Idk if you've watched it but would love to see what your headcanons are if Jon and Sansa were to ever go on that show. Loved your bach fic!
I will admit that I haven't seen Too Hot to Handle! I remember seeing it on Netflix and thinking 'oh that sounds awful'. My consumption of reality shows is very specific and I honestly couldn't tell you what the qualifier is.
The shows I can deal with: Bachelor franchise (but only if I'm watching with my Bach bff), Are You the One, The Circle, and Terrace House.
Things I have tried watching and immediately turned off: Love Island, Temptation Island.
I assumed THtH would be like the second group, but I also dismissed The Circle at first, so maybe I'll give I a shot. Plus Chloe!
Tumblr media
As for headcanons:
I have trouble seeing Jon on any reality show without someone forcing his hand tbh, but the fact that THtH has prize money helps with that. So:
Jon needs money for... Something. Let's say he works at a Direwolf reserve and they're having trouble getting funding and so his coworkers sign him up for a reality show to get the prize money and they're all like "Jon you were mostly celibate in the army anyway, you could totally do this" (which, sidebar: the wiki says they aren't even allowed to masturbate?? How do they know if they do??? Do they film them in the shower????)
Sansa goes on for fun. She likes the show and one night she and her friends get drunk and she signs up for it and then she's like why not, you know? She's pretty sure she's going to hate every guy who goes on, but the money would be nice to have.
I don't know what happens on the show specifically, but the rest is a generic: they're both surprised to find someone they actually like and are extremely tempted to break the no-sex rule and the viewers love them and they're a fan favorite couple. The end
(also, I think the Direwolf reserve plot was something I came up with when @chispas-and-broken-bindings and I were joking around about me writing a Circle AU?? She came up with something better, but I'm just recycling old plot ideas apparently)
