I had a very similar thought after watching some of Bryson’s videos. His irons/wedges have been brutal in these videos

Rizzo imo would provide the best winner story of those that are left.

Joe/Tiff/Aubrey would be really disappointing winners. Jonathan has at least made moves and largely been in control.

How is it you can only play an idol once, but Cirie gets two extra votes? That was BS. She should have been only able to use it once.

I can see it both ways with the extra vote but Jonathan was totally saved by his idol I don't understand what you mean you can only play the idol once.

At this point:

-Tiffany: no chance of winning
-Rizzo: no chance of winning, he has played a great game but they are not voting for an unknown player to win S50. Also apparently he has been super sick the whole time and it seems like he's just being carried along as a goat.
-Joe: I really don't think he has a chance of winning

-Cirie: good shot at winning but also based on the commentary it seems like she is next in line to go as everyone recognizes she wins if she makes it to F3.

-Jonathan: decent chance of winning if he makes it to F3

-Devens: decent chance of winning if he makes it to F3

-Aubrey: she is the weird one, she hasn't played a particularly great game but if she is in a F3 with Tiffany/Rizzo/Joe combination, she is 100% being picked to win over them

Yeah you are literally brain dead not playing an idol in that scenario.

Great episode tho
I enjoyed the twist tonight but yeah every other twist has been really bad

Would suck sitting and watching in the same place all day and not even know what’s going on elsewhere outside of the leaderboard.


It's the opposite. Hearing the roars of the crowd and everyone whispering/waiting for the leaderboards to update and then going crazy again is actually very fun to be a part of.

That's exactly what my theory is, especially after watching the latest episode.


I definitely don't see it being cut and dry. I think suicide + tampering is a good guess.

ETA If I had to guess he dies through an accident and then maybe some tampering occurs. Like does he die through the same thing that caused the dick accident and the wife tries to cover it up?

Is this show worth starting? Does it show a bunch of dicks like most HBO shows these days?


Yes, only 8 episodes. I like the style of storytelling and Harbour/Bateman have a very good dynamic. The overall mystery is well done and it has some really funny moments.

I dropped the $100. Curious what refund will look like if YTTV and new network come to a deal.


I would say its extremely unlikely. YTTV doesn't even have deals with the dodgers or yankees to carry their games.

Idk about yall but I’ve loved S2 and don’t know how they wrap all this up with only 9 more episodes (Sterling said it’s a 3 season arc).

It’s been damn good and frankly I’ve enjoyed the slow build up to where we are at now.
The celebrity shite is just so bad.

If it’s a blindfold challenge, I don’t even watch. They are worst and should be eliminated, to easy to cheat.


Most of the team challenges are terrible to watch. A couple basic obstacles, throw a ball in a hoop, do a puzzle.

Sucks we lost Q he was a wildcard we needed for a few more episodes.

They should have let the fans vote on extra vote/losing votes. I feel like everyone hates when players lose votes for really no fault of their own.

I too am really enjoying this season but could understand how some would be frustrated with very little paradise action.
IMO they either need to restrict the size of putters altogether or make it so its legal to anchor the putter.

I really can’t think of any recent tv shows that have had me laughing like these 3 eps have.

My thoughts as well, she also should've never told them she won the previous season.


The problem is Rizzo is also on the show. There is no way for her to lie about winning unless he also lies about it, which is an insane amount of trust. She was in a terrible spot simply bc most everybody else has existing relationships and knows who everybody is.

Christian is just the best, really hope he wins.

I enjoyed the first 2 episodes. I'm not trying to hold this show to the standard of some prestige show. It’s more of a network TV type show, and it’s really entertaining for what it is.

Hulu shows have a bit of a formula and Paradise is no exception. It is extremely similar to handmaids tale in how the episodes run. Both shows tend to be somewhat boring and will have really good cliffhangers at the end of each episode that draw you in and they LOVE covers of popular songs. I think the show is pretty good for what it is

I’m 32 and a naval architect and my wife is a surgeon. I don’t see AI replacing either of our jobs before we retire.


I mean sure your job may be safe (debatable) but if enough people become unemployed, the housing markets crash, investments crash and wages/spending crashes. Nobody is immune from all of that, even if you still have a job. We need jobs and as many of them as possible. Anything that removes jobs without adding new ones is extremely bad for everyone.

ETA this isn't even commentary on what may or may not happen with AI specifically but it is extremely naive to think that just because your job is safe, you are safe.

So we are supposed to believe that it is a completely random tribal buff draw, but all three tribes are exactly equal 4:4 gender?


It wasn't random and they actually swapped 2 players at the last minute.

Jesus you people will bitch about everything

I’m in the minority but I loved Q. Atrocious player but I found him to be absolutely hilarious.


Q is the most memorable player from S45-50 (hell maybe even 41-50), he is extremely entertaining. Like I question how anyone could be confused at why he was brought back.

ETA now if you want to bash Rizzo have at it. I have no idea why he is there.
