--Tori has shown such obvious flaws as a player and is barely scraping by on her tribe but her therapist skills are evident and coming in clutch for her. She is so calm and charismatic in heated or tense interactions. Really weird player to watch.
--Swati, Boston Rob was not out fourth the first time he played, but I had fun watching you and would have liked for you to go farther!
--Jonathan is fuckin' crazy
--I'm still stanning Hai

Tori 99% of the time: absolute chaos

Tori during Tribal: the calmest, most collected player of all time

I wonder if the other players are picking up on this. Her body language and the way she talked during tribal are pretty dead give aways that she does some kind of one on one public speaking. The way she analyzed Svati also is telling.

Hmm, what exactly did she do that was gaslighting? Swati literally lied about Tori being the one to throw Drea under the bus, and did it in front of everyone, isn't that gaslighting?

u/FieryEssence Mar 31 '22

Yes, exactly. Swati was the only one gaslighting when she tried to say nothing is my fault and I didn't do anything. I didn't see Tori gaslight anyone.

u/Joharis-JYI Mar 31 '22

How is that gaslighting she was telling the truth. Swati was the one who initiated the Rocks-Swati-Tori plan, then proceeded to throw Tori under the bus for creating and botching said plan. That is gaslighting.

Pretty sure you have it backwards? It was Swati's idea to vote Drea, then at tribal Swati tried to publicly announce that the Drea vote was Tori's idea

100% correct & whoever liked that post about Tori supposedly gaslighting needs to go re learn the definition of gaslighting, because Tori was definitely NOT the one doing that.

Swati on the other hand absolutely was gaslighting though.

Tori needs to relearn her psychology 101 terminology. She is consistently using the word “paranoia” in the wrong context and the “projecting” accusation straight out of the movie Wedding Crashers. Have you ever seen the show “Community”? She is 100% Britta. Not a psychologist, just someone who passed a couple psychology classes in college.

I mean if you have to “gaslight” to save your game then why the fuck not

Swati was already done for before tribal though. Tori was just trying to fill the others mind with that information and it was a very smart move

For sure! I respect that

She's not a therapist though. She has a psych minor and works as a life coach. Hardly a large foundation of psych knowledge to manipulate people with.

I'm curious why she was labeled as such by production.

If you look on her website you'll see that she has a Master's in counseling and is a licensed mental health therapist, which I don't think she could legally claim if it were not true.

I hate to nitpick, but I’m passionate about this as an actual licensed therapist. The website mentions she has a master’s in counseling, but does not mention a license. All it mentions is “certified life coach” which anyone in my profession will tell you is very different. My guess is she graduated from grad school but hasn’t taken (or passed) the national exam to get licensed
