a group game host who creates a concept for a season that is discriminatory in nature then rolls out twists that exploit that concept even more, which sees almost every non-North American player wiped out pre-merge and early merge, and then makes a ton of questionable hosting decisions - changing / replacing challenges and bending rules for the majority, after which he protects certain people's "feelings" and tries to stop the jury from really expressing itself at ponderosa (then disinvites an entire 3 or 4 person alliance to the VL and cancels the reunion lmao) .....and then, 4 months later after it all happened, calls you out on his flop Hall of Fame ceremony because you called him the worst host ever during the course of the season?
noah_kondon a lot of things can change in 5 years, and placement doesn't really have anything to do with it. I made it to finale night and went in 6th place, doesn't change that the whole thing was a race war hosted in the most unprofessional and un-objective way possible. And I had let the whole thing go until he decided to take a shot tonight public, making it seem like the only reason I called him the worst host is due to that F6 immunity challenge when it was not even in the top 3 reasons.
I played one of his and was scarred for life when I was PUBLICLY HUMILIATED by playing a fake idol. Like...I didn't even know that was a thing 馃檭 I was a newb to group games! Decided I don't care for them.
cheritaisdelicious honestly, like, I am a group game player first and foremost here, and I've been playing them since 2011 or 2012, and I can't recall worse hosts than JB. Sure, I have come across one or two inactive ones who abandoned their seasons, but I have had no grave issues with how a season runs except in Shitthroat Survivor, especially given the problematic set up which promoted racial discrimination (and all the twists he implemented which further exploited that) AND him cowering to every demand some of the North Americans made to change challenge rules, extend deadlines for votes, change vote timings, etc... And all the shit he pulled in ponderosa and canceling the reunion etc. So yeah, you were unlucky to start your Group Group history there, but there are many more capable, decisive, professional, and fair hosts out there that you can try out before abandoning group games altogether!
