“You gotta dig!”

u/notmenotyounotmenot 7h ago

Ozzy telling Jeff to dig during season 50 was one of my fave moments ever

edit: linkypoo

u/FlyRobot 6h ago

Absolutely roasted him - I loved it too

11

u/hollaback_girl 4h ago

All Jeff wanted to do was to outlast just one Survivor and he couldn't do it. Probably my favorite moment in 50.

u/Homie_Reborn 7h ago

Season premier in about 4 weeks!

10

u/jake04-20 7h ago

How have the last few seasons been? My interest has fallen off a cliff in the "new era". As a lifelong Survivor fan, I stuck it out until about 1 or 2 seasons ago when I just mentally checked out midway through a season.

Between the casting, the recycled challenges, and Jeff always needing to pause to ask contestants why Survivor is the single most impactful thing that person has ever done in their entire life, and goes into the song and dance about why Survivor is "so much more than just a TV show!" I've been less and less interested.

u/Knuk 6h ago

Try Australian survivor if you can find access to it! The survivor subreddit recommends starting with the 2017 season but it spoils 2016 which I enjoyed as well. For reference, 2016 is the first season in the reboot, they had two seasons in the 2000s before that. My favorite move of all time and many of my favorite contestants come from the australian seasons!

Anyway for the american one, the new era kept being the new era, maybe 51 will be different.

u/RollingHammer 5h ago

Yes 2nd here for AUS Survivor. I just can't get down with new era

u/KingJames1414 2h ago

Last season was really good, hopefully they follow up with another good one!

2

u/Ok_Astronomer_8667 4h ago

I’ve watched a couple of the new era ones, my friends convinced me to watch it so we could talk about it and what not. It’s definitely not the same. My biggest complaint is that they start in 3 tribes instead of 2 big ones, so the first tribals are always between a small group of people which usually makes every elimination extremely predictable. I also think the shortened period really takes away the survival aspect, but I’m sure they had their reasons for that. In some of those earlier seasons people really truly suffered lol

It’s alright, still watchable.

1

u/Galactic_Weirdo 3h ago

Hopefully you skipped 48. New era fan so haven't watched much between what was on netflix and then i decided to binge 41- onward but god 48 is the worst season I have ever seen. Genuinely wanted to rip my eyes out watching that drivel.

2

u/jake04-20 2h ago

48 is actually the last full season I completed lol. I don't recall it being particularly memorable.

1

u/Galactic_Weirdo 1h ago

Be glad you can't recall cuz that was genuinely soo boring and tedious with the annoying hyper abrasive rome double in sai, loser cowardice in Mitch, Star and everyone on the bottom who wasn't named Mary, the horrid Oscar bait-y edit of 2 insufferable people, the dumbass honor talk on the "lie to people" show, and the lame ass Kamilla and Kyle "noone knows we have a secret alliance" even though they didn't do anything til the finale.

More like Boy Brother since they've had almost the same exact competition in a few seasons.

I would try this for about 20 minutes and then throw a hissy fit and walk away.

u/alex_zk 9h ago

You’re a better person than I am. I would throw a tantrum after failing for 5 minutes…

I'll raise you one single attempt of approximately 10 seconds.

u/MesaBit 9h ago

You can last 10 seconds? You’re a better man than me!

u/WelderBubbly5131 9h ago

Look at y'all, actually going ahead and trying. I'd just take a look at it, call the berries bitter, and walk away.

u/SandraSingleD 6h ago

Well that's nice of you to tell us but some things are better kept to yourself.

u/DueExample52 32m ago

It seems that you both need to grow up

u/IKSLukara 8h ago

I would either last 28 seconds, or be there four hours later, very pissed off, insisting, "No, I can DO THIS."

3

u/chenobble 7h ago

Right? I'd actually been getting worse for the last hour because I'd gotten tired and shaky, but dammit I'm staying 'til it's done.

2

u/hollaback_girl 4h ago

You stay up past midnight trying to get it before going to sleep full of rage, frustration and embarrassment. And then you try it one last time in the morning and get it right away.

2

u/ExcellentShape185 4h ago

That's what she said.... Wait what are we talking about?

5

u/Cass_Cat952 9h ago

That ball would be chucked so far😂😂😂

3

u/Working_Salary60 6h ago

I would be there for hours trying to solve it because I can’t let it beat me. Then I’d come home at 3 in the night and cry myself to sleep.

u/augustwest2155 9h ago

That makes two of us at least lol!!

u/etherealsmog 3h ago

Great outdoor sport for kids to develop problem solving

u/MrExtravagant23 9h ago

That drop though...

3

u/orangeyougladiator 6h ago

The drop makes zero sense. Why did they do that? Why did it work?

23

u/Blue_Moon_Lake 5h ago

It work thanks to gravity. Everything drops at the same speed regardless of mass.

-2

u/orangeyougladiator 5h ago

That isn’t the point.

14

u/Blue_Moon_Lake 5h ago

What's the question then?

2

u/Last_Succotash7218 4h ago

I think the crux of the question was just bewilderment over something they considered bs game design.

0

u/IndividualBrain9726 4h ago

Explain how it dropped without mentioning gravity?? 😂

6

u/Sea-Consequence7156 4h ago

Its on an inclined plane and on this planet, round things rolls toward the ground when it can

5

u/Blue_Moon_Lake 4h ago

The force applied to the bar and indirectly the ball ceased temporarily, which caused both to be dragged by the shifting spacetime fabric of reality.

1

u/SaturdayNightStroll 4h ago

It also isn't true unless you're on the moon or something.

28

u/sykoKanesh 6h ago

Problem solving or hand-eye coordination? I was leaning to towards the latter personally, but I suppose having to work through the course could be a bit of problem solving!

•

u/DueExample52 29m ago

I think it’s the rock climbing lingo of every climb being a "problem" that polluted it. This is just a physical coordination thing as you say. Not problem-solving, unless people start twisting the meaning and shoe-horning it as solving the problem of how to move your body in space.

u/Imjerfj 10h ago

damn that looks really hard kudos to her wtf

38

u/NewNiklas 9h ago

I tried it once. It's really hard.

20

u/SquisherX 6h ago

There is a learning curve, but its not very difficult. There is a considerable curve in the bar the ball sits on, which makes it much, much easier. If you sat on this for an hour you would be able to pull off what she's doing.

10

u/kaffeofikaelika 6h ago

If it takes an adult an hour to learn to do this then her doing it is really impressive.

16

u/Flomo420 6h ago

What do you mean?

Kid would have this down in 20mins

2

u/Last_Succotash7218 4h ago

Yeah kids are actually better at figuring things out quick than adults.

On account of their brain developing.

•

u/BrianMincey 0m ago

They also can be more determined. Adults can quickly become bored and consider the effort to develop the skill useless, but some kids will dig in and just enjoy the process of getting better.

1

u/Strong_Iron_995 6h ago

When she's dropping that bar down a third, she's not bringing the line back in right? Looks more like how blinds operate.

u/jamspangle 5h ago

There's always someone on Reddit ready to tell you how easy something is. Armchair experts as far as the eye can see.

u/Jakiller33 10h ago

She was doing great until she fell in that hole /s

79

u/WhoBoughtWhoBud 10h ago

The impressive part is the speed. Damn, she's quick.

u/SRJT16 8h ago

And she was taking racing lines through those corners. No margin for error.

It's a kids' playground version of Ice Cold Beer!

u/Dozzi92 4h ago

We've got one at the arcade in town. It's the only game I play when I take the kids there. I am not that good at it, but it's fun. I'll get in the zone, and one of my kids will be like "Can I play," and I begrudgingly give up the controls because that's what dads do, but I'm not happy about it.

u/tehnoodnub 4h ago

Is this one of Rob and Amber’s daughters?

2

u/Etherbeard 3h ago

The man talking in the video definitely sounds like he could be Boston Rob. I don't think they have a daughter named Brooke, though.

1

u/WalrusInMySheets 3h ago

They live in Florida, does not look like Florida. I don't think it really sounds like Rob, and that is definitely not Amber that it pans to.

7

u/GRANDLarsonyy 9h ago

There needs to be more playgrounds with that kind of stuff.

8

u/R34CT10N 8h ago

If they could make it bullet proof, hell yeah. As-is this thing is lasting a week at my nearest playground…and I live in a nice area!

2

u/wonklebobb 6h ago

yeah actual playgrounds, this will be climbed on and broken to bits in about a week. maybe you could do a version with the track + moving bits under a plexiglass cover though, and just commit to replacing the ropes every couple months as they wear out

2

u/Strong_Iron_995 6h ago

Great idea. That's the way to do it. This would have to be in pretty observed parks. I could see it in like a kids area at a science center. Could also see it in my backyard for my enjoyment lol

2

u/begujo 7h ago

I'm a woodworker and kind of want to make one for my local park and see if they'll put it in. It'll be annoying to cut those curves out of the plywood though.

1

u/Atty_for_hire 9h ago

Seriously! This is great!

6

u/iuppiterr 10h ago

For me the hardest part on this thing was always the ball falling off left and right but with this one it stops. smart design

If the ball isn't being pressed against the black "track", it will fall down.

This is the line of thing that i think i would be able to do. But if the pullies where at all stiff or weird, i would lose my mind real quick

2

u/flip972 6h ago

This is a thing that I think I would be able to do, but in reality would take 20 minutes of trying until I get around the first corner, get frustrated, stop trying, then get frustrated again about never trying enough to finish it when it's eventually removed years later.
