"Got nothin' for ya."

Or, why I kind of want to do competition reality. 

I'm not a big reality person but I get in these random moods where I want to binge old seasons of Survivor. I watched the first few seasons of the show in real time (who didn't back then?) but didn't keep up with it. I blame Netflix for adding random seasons every once in awhile and my friend who was obsessed with it. 

I like to fantasize about what kind of player I would be. I'd like to think I'd play with as much loyalty and kindness as possible, mostly because I don't think I could be a snake. I'm not a fan of the villains--in fact, there's one season I refuse to watch because I found out the winner is a player I can't stand. But I am a fan of the Sandras--the players who seem like a villain because they're just smarter than everybody else. I have no patience for those who are so naive that they are blindsided by gameplay. I also don't like floaters, so I'd have to put in enough effort so that I'd be able to stand up for why I'd be there. 

I'm also super into all iterations of The Traitors right now. The game makes no damn sense and has a lot of holes, or maybe that's the point. It's about mob mentality and insane confirmation bias and not about strategy or evidence (despite what some of the players say.) It's also about trust, even though you can't trust anybody for any reason. Sometimes I shock myself with how much I root for the traitors, but that's because for the most part the faithfuls are just dumb as shit. Maybe I'd be willing to screw over everyone to win the money as a traitor. That's the game, at least. 

I'd gladly take prize money, too. Maybe some day.
