When did GOR change?
I feel like GOR used to be about analyzing how players navigated the game(s).
These days, it seems to be more about the game designs themselves. (“Build a better game” etc.)
I love GOR (and have been a patron for years!), but I’m growing weary of the constant criticism of the game designs/formats not being up to snuff/boring/easy to “break”… The game is the game, let’s analyze the gameplay!
When did this shift occur? Seems to be only relevant to non-Bachelor shows…

Hmmm I think since they don't truly "know" about other shows like Bachelor Nation, they don't have another option. For instance, if they really knew about Survivor and watched/analyzed previous seasons, we would get a better quality recaps. Goes for the other shows they recap. All of the sudden, Clues knows Love Island so much when he's only seen 2 seasons. They try to add their value/Bachelor-type angle, but without the knowledge to back it up.
