can someone explain this whole "Probst hates female winners" thing didn't he just hype the shit out of a season with a female winner? If you're talking about someone like Natalie W or Michele that's because they...actually did suck as winners

it mostly came about as a result of his failure to hype SJDS which had an awesome female winner while he was SO EXCITED about World's Apart which was a completely lackluster season with a male winner

What Matt said but also I think he hyped GC because it was a mostly hunky male cast and all returnees as opposed to noobs.

But looking at this cast up front, it's definitely a girl winner. I can see a few of the guys going far, but they mostly all seem like meatheads.

He is the only one I could see going decently far. He's David 2.0, so I unfortunately think I'll not enjoy his Survivor story. But he definitely has a shot. And he was shown in the preview so likely he makes it decently far or is a strong pre-merge presence and how bad his challenge skills suck.

Mike<3 <3 <3

I'm basically living for him at this point.

Mike literally tracked down George RR Martin's phone number and offered to fly him across the country for a urosepsis treatment when he saw it on Martin's blog that he was in the hospital. I don't know whether to cringe or not because he was generally being caring, but I can't imagine Martin was even willing to consider flying all that way just to let a fan pay to study his genitals when he was already in a hospital and awaiting treatment.

This is the type of stuff I love to hear! His adorable awkwardness is going to make my heart melt. <3

''He owns replicas of the Valyrian swords Longclaw and Oathkeeper, as well as Arya Stark's legendary weapon Needle. He owns a copy of A Clash of Kings that he purchased for the low price of $5.99 back when it was first published in 1998, worth "thousands" of dollars now. ''

The fact that he loves ASoIaF as well makes me love him even more! <3

I just liked the glaring picture

I'm not too worried. The newbie seasons have been on point lately. Theme is dumb but it's always dumb
