It’s interpreting to compare the audience reactions to Jake (#Survivor 45) & Venus. When no one listened to Jake, many put the blame on the other players for being irrational & messing up his plans. With Venus, it’s her fault alone that no one wants to work with her. #Survivor46
Oh the typo in here is KILLING me now that I just noticed it. 😓
@DomWissel I never thought of them as similar, but they totally are. I think one difference, too, though is that Jake was very "aww, shucks, I'm a loser amirite??" whereas Venus keeps PUSHING. This is not to say that gender isn't playing a role--it very well could be
@DomWissel fwiw I thought Jake was maybe the worst player of the modern era. Seems like a nice guy but…terrible at survivor.
@DomWissel I think their personalities are WIDLY different. Jake was visibly defeated and didn’t consistently come off as cocky. She is persistent and comes off cocky but unaware
@DomWissel this is an insane comparison. jake actually made an effort to be friends with ppl
@DomWissel In the Jake scenario the other players liked Jake, but didn't want to work with him. In the Venus situation, the players don't like her and they don't want to work with her. Nonetheless, both are definitely responsible for being on the outs. But Venus has done more to be left out
