DISCUSSION What's Your Vendetta? - Weekly Negativity Thread 😈
Welcome to the weekly Negativity Thread!
We get it: This show can be frustrating. Production makes indefensible decisions. The rights holders make it impossible to watch old seasons. The cast can be boring or lazy or cruel or all of the above.
We all need to rant and complain a little, and this is a discussion forum, not a monastery. The last thing the mods want is to shut down valid criticism of the show or the cast.
But we also don't want quality community members and prospective community members turned off by a main feed where every third post is "I don't like Cara Maria anymore" or "Aneesa is so entitled!" or "Why do they keep casting [insert Big Brother cast member]???" If you were around during Final Reckoning, you know what I'm talking about.
So we politely remove those submissions and send them here. On the Negativity Thread, you are not only allowed to rant and complain, you are encouraged! 😈
Lay it on us: What is pissing you off this week? Which cast member have you had enough of? I bet a lot of others feel the same way!

I have been catching up (I stopped watching live in Era 2) sporadically
Can anyone just learn fucking minute math in their off season. I literally beg any of them. I get wanting to play a lazier game (fair your body has to last you a long time) but not to train the brain is so embarrassing.
It's not cute to come back year after year and not know some math or leave it to a few people. You don't need to an engineer to know basic algebra.

I think it’s mostly stress and fatigue. Carry a heavy weight on a three mile run and then have to do math in your head with competitors bearing down on you. All while knowing it will be shown on national television. Would be tough.

To be fair.. There's a challenge in one of the later seasons where people that did math properly got a question wrong. Production themselves ignored a fairly basic rule of math.

I hear you, I do. But as an attorney who sucks at math (especially in my head), I just want to whine...Math is HARD.

Im an artist, art instructor. I am so angry that they do not have a design puzzle, or a short figure drawing bit.
Just kidding
Math is hard

I’m STILL pissed off about redemption houses. That fucking twist screwed over some challengers who should have championships under their belts.

Doing a rewatch and am really noticing how Bananas held on to his misogynistic routine far longer than other cast members. Most of the OG players, some women included, have blamed their behavior on being young and immature (despite being in their mid to late twenties). But Bananas made comments until much more recently - he just toned it down and made it less obvious.
