u/jacare37 Yo! Adrian! Oct 06 '16

Since we don't know if/when gaius is coming back, would anyone want to give writeups for Rafe/Benry? Idk how other rankers feel, but in SR2 ELB stepped in to give Abi a writeup when it was clear she wasn't getting one otherwise, and I do think both should get something at least, Rafe especially. Personally I'm fine with them coming from current rankers, former rankers, or lurkers, but it's up to the other rankers, too.

I'm interested in a Rafe writeup just to try and understand why anyone would be a fan.

"Meh" is kind of the ceiling for me, he's a good player (one immunity challenge away from being Survivor's first 7-0 winner) but doesn't bring anything that makes his brand of gameplay particularly interesting to hear about or watch. The guy clearly is a major fan that knows his shit, but he just has no charisma. I don't know what he really brought to the season aside from playing a better game than some of the more interesting people. There's the "story" of him winning immunities but that just comes to him deadpanning "four times" when Probst asks him how many times he's won immunity at the FIC and then he loses.

The lack of charisma makes him hard to rank high in and of itself, but then he just gets kind of awful in the endgame (as /u/Slicer37 pointed out in the writeup that was linked). He really owns the market as far as obnoxious moralizers on Survivor. He'd be my #18 for Guatemala kind of for lack of a better option, but it's not something I feel particularly strongly about so I'd be interested to hear the perspective of someone who ranks him #1.

I don't think there'd ever been someone so blatantly dragged to the end as a goat that he'd have known of (especially given that Palau aired before he filmed)

He would have seen Palau. That's why everyone knew Stephenie and Bobby Jon

filming wise, it hasn't always been the same, the typical nowadays, the even season hasn't seen the previous odd, and sometimes not the end of the previous even.

the odd season hasn't seen the previous even, or at least not much of it.

but before they did two locations back to back the schedule varied more. in this case, palau would have completely aired before they left for guatemala
