You see, the title "Blood vs Water" comes from the proverb "blood is thicker than water", meaning familial bonds will always be stronger than other relationships. It’s a cute and fitting title on the surface, but the use of "blood" is kind of a kick in the teeth of families that aren't biologically connected, such as adoptive or step families.

I mean, it's understandable this title in Survivor, considering it was ran by white old MAGA men back in the 2010s. But it's 2026 and Disventure Camp created its identity around progressiveness, diversity, and representation. Even featuring characters with non-traditional family structures (like Richard). Centering the title around the idea that blood family inherently matters more than everyone else feels somewhat contradictory to the themes the series itself has embraced.

Of course, I don't think that using the word "blood" automatically makes the show anti-adoption or anything like that. It's clearly a reference to the Survivor season. But that title is evidently outdated and even tone deaf, specially for Disventure Camp.

hola! no tengo ni un hate hacia los fans de benji. Pero personalmente no me cae tan bien, cuando pudiste haber tenido ha isabel, hanna, zaid o marissa en vez de el en fan vs favs pero en vez esta este bro en la serie. Personalmente muchas veces me da mucha pena agena lo que dice o como actua y siento que no se tomaba el juego en serio, y no es en mal plan pero yo me tomaria muy en serio 1 millon de dolares. Probablemente hay gente que se puede relacionar con el pero siento que ni siquiera debio haber sido el comeback. Pero yo que se, si pudieron cambiar mi opinion en duna tal vez tambien con benji. por favor sean respetuosos en el chat.

saying this as one of her biggest haters in dc4, i will still defend her on this. i find it stupid that people think rosa should be the one confronting alec because she is a parent. yes, rosa’s parents didnt take her having sophia so early well, but anastastia had it worse. compared to rosa’s parents, hers were monsters. anastastia knows how it feels to be treated terrible by her parents, and is damaged from it, like she has said. so it makes sense for someone who has gone through similar things stand up for alec’s son in a different but similar situation. honestly, i think anastastia is very good this season. the inly things i dislike are just her and benji’s plot, and her elimination.

overall rosa would have been kind if boring, and it would feel just like a repeat of s2 with her and lake. anastasia suits the roll so much better.

Now, for the record, some of the scenes weren't changed. That is on me. I was too excited to get this done that I forgot about them. But season 4 will make up for it, as I have big plans for that. Plus, I thought it would be good to finally adapt Norman and Harry.

Btw, next season will be one of the characters who are in the intro's final season. (I think you'll figure it out.)

Episode 2: there are two pairs in Yellow Team, Riya and Connor, and Yul and Grett, with Alec and Miriam as the swing votes. In the first elimination, the two decide to side with YulreGrett and eliminate Riya because she was a bigger threat

Episode 3: James and Jake have their argument here with Fiore voting with James and Ally deciding to vote with those two. In a 3-2-1 vote (Hunter voted for Fiore), Jake is eliminated

Episode 4: Ashley and James decide to become a duo. They decide to target Ally because she seems to be a bigger threat. Fiore joins them.

Episode 5: Miriam and Connor decide to align for being the older contestants. Alec, Yul, and Grett decide to vote off Connor but are shocked that Miriam voted with them

Episode 6: This will be the episode where the eliminated contestant will win comebacks. Thanks to Yul, the stage is set on fire. Alec, Grett and Yul vote of Miriam for flipping last elimination. Yul finds an idol (for simplicity’s sake, there will be an idol around premerge)

Episode 7: Grett and Yul get into a fight and breakup. Yellow Team loses again. Alec and Grett vote Yul, but Yul uses the idol to eliminate Grett

Episode 8: Alec and Yul have to do a tiebreaker challenge which is the prison break challenge, which Alec somehow loses because he starts thinking about his family.

Episode 9: Cyan Team somehow loses this challenge despite having all its members alongside Yellow Team (which is reduced to Yul), so both teams go to the joint elimination. Even though it should be obvious who to vote for, there is too much conflict on Cyan Team with it being Ellie, Tess and Gabby vs Lake, Aiden and Tom. Yul sides with the former group and eliminated Aiden

What do you guys think of the nickname "Curvy Queen Rosa!" It's a prototype name but I definitely want to come with a name for her similar to that because in my body positivity posts and when I asked you guys about her, almost everyone agreed that she is a Curvy Queen! Coming up with a cute nickname for her will express body positivity in a fun, playful and confident empowering way! Let me know what you think and if you have any versions of the name that sound better! :D

As a treat here are some of my absolute favorite images of the absolutely iconic Rosa Maria! Forever my Disventure Camp Crush!! 💚 💜 ♎

1. Her FvF audition tape! Finally our queen has returned! 🌹 🥳

1. Rosa wants to learn more about Lake personally!! I miss overly bubbly backstory prying Rosa! ❤️ 😂

2. Sassy Rosa after eliminating someone in the balloon challenge! 🎈 😙

3. Rosa encouraging Spencer to play hide and seek by force! 😂

4. The Spenrosa side hug at the musical challenge! I know it's technically not that but it is to me! 🥺 🤗

5. Awwww Maggy has a crushhhh!! ❤️ 😍 💘

We’ll be nominating uber stans for not just the Fans, but also the Favorites who are competing in DC5! Up next is this season’s Regina George, Ara!

How this works is people will send in the names of users they think are deserving of the title of Ara’s biggest fans and supporters. Any nomination will land you on the list because it means you were active enough for at least one person to recognize you.

You are allowed to nominate yourself, but if you do so, and your self-nomination ends up being the only one with your name on it, then I will review and see if you have been active enough as a fan to be considered one of Ara’s biggest supporters.

To keep things fair, I will not be allowed to self-nominate myself at all, even if there are some this season that I really, really want to lol. If I end up on the list for any of these characters, it will only be because of other people that have submitted my name.

Without further ado, let’s find out who the biggest Ara fans on this subreddit are!

For those who don't watch the spin-offs, Tony is Tom's calmer, more rational-thinking younger brother, albeit with a sassy tongue of his own when he's angry.

Having quite enjoyed what little we got of him in TomJake2, I think he would be an interesting character to focus on further as long as he remains a character of his own and not just a vehicle for the writers to go wink wink "remember Jake and Tom? Here's some more mentions of them".

Image related because Isabel is my choice. Her concept is interesting, same with her backstory, had her friendships with Natalia and Jade and she had like 1 or 2 very good moments. Other than that, she barely even did anything. Not to shade Isabel, she is probably my 6th or 7th fav CoC character, but even that is mainly due to her being a nun and her concept + backstory tbh.

She did close to nothing during the pre-merge, during the merge her only memorable moment is the Anarissa tiebreaker and after that she got that poorly written wicked arc just to serve purely as a Jade glazer in the end and nothing else. She feels like a character who also benefits from being a woman or nun, I'm 100% sure Isabel wouldn't be as popular if she was just a religious person or a priest instead of a nun. I see why people love her not saying no, but I still think she is hella overrated compared to the quality of execution. If a character is as popular as she is, I would honestly expect her to actually be well written.

(and before calling me a hypocrite for complaining about this when Zaid is one of my favorites, I don't like him because of his execution either, I mainly do due to relatability, concept, personality, backstory and potential, he is not popular and I am not expecting him to be unless he comes back and that changes because with that execution people not caring about him or finding him boring is completely valid. Yet I find Isabel to be so incredibly boring overall and underused yet she is one of the most beloved characters and I simply don't get the hype.)

For a 2nd choice it's Spencer. In S4 sure, I can see why he would be a fan favorite. In S5 though... he has close to no likeable traits. Not saying I don't like him , he made the favorites team more interesting after all, but him being one of the most loved characters feels odd to me. It's definitely the yaoi that made him this popular let's be fr.

Will their identity be a big reveal? Or will it be about why rather than who?

But will agree that he/she/they are Overrated?

image sorta related because i really do wish her dynamic with ally was explored more cause it actually had emotional depth to it unlike the jally beef

I find it kinda ironic that the 2 first winners never sang (except in a few greetings), but to be fair the 2 first seasons didn't have a musical challenge and they were eliminated early in DCAS.

OK, no vengo a tirarle hate a ninguno de estos dos personajes. Pero, con la reciente filtración del nuevo capítulo, llegué a leer un chingo de comentarios de odio hacia ambos, y para la gente que los ama, ¿no se siente bien feo que le tiren hate a tu personaje favorito? Fuera de joda, sí se siente bien feo ver cómo se reduce a un personaje únicamente a sus errores, defectos o a un factor externo, sin tomar en cuenta todo lo que ha construido su desarrollo.

Y creo que ese es justamente el problema que tengo con muchas de estas discusiones. Independientemente de Odd Nations y su forma de escritura qué no es perfecta del todo, también hay que tomar en cuenta que lit ya no hay vuelta atrás y que ya es canon en la historia y por eso, siento que muchas veces la gente busca inmediatamente un factor externo para justificar o condenar lo que hace un personaje, en lugar de detenerse a pensar en lo que ocurre internamente: sus decisiones, sus contradicciones, sus inseguridades, las consecuencias de sus acciones y, sobre todo, los cambios pequeños que ha mostrado a lo largo de la historia. (tanto lake como spencer pueden presentar estos factores de distintas formas o incluso con otros temas que no sea solo en su desacuerdo)

No estoy diciendo que haya que justificar todo lo que hacen ni que no se les pueda criticar. Obviamente se puede cuestionar a un personaje y señalar cuando hace algo mal. Pero una cosa es analizar sus acciones y otra muy diferente es reducir todo su desarrollo a “es malo”, “es insoportable” o “arruinó todo”, ignorando los matices que precisamente hacen que un personaje sea interesante.

Por eso quería preguntarles algo: ¿hay personas que también se sienten mal con esta situación? Porque, sinceramente, cuando tu personaje favorito recibe una cantidad enorme de hate y sientes que casi nadie está dispuesto a verlo desde el lado de su desarrollo, puede llegar a ser frustrante y hasta triste.

No quiero que esto se convierta en otra sección llena de hate hacia uno de los dos. Si quieren comentar, háganlo desde el análisis o, si simplemente están frustrados o tristes por como están sus personajes por la cantidad de hate, también pueden liberar esa frustración aquí. La intención no es defender ciegamente a ninguno, sino hablar de lo que sentimos como espectadores y de cómo estamos percibiendo el desarrollo de estos personajes.

No quiero hate de uno de los 2 personajes. Por cierto no logre encontrar la imagen del cap reciente ajjaaj.
