I love a good winner. Who’s your all time favorite person that’s won their season of a competitive reality tv show?

A lot of times in reality tv competition shows you get an unsatisfying winner despite a great season full of great characters.

What are some seasons of reality tv where it’s all about the winner for you?

When I play big 4K remux files directly on my local network with no transcoding I’m getting buffering. I’m using an Apple TV 4K with a dedicated laptop and HDDs for a server, all hardwired.

Am I just limited by my shitty spectrum 20Mbps upload speed that can’t handle uploading that much data at once?

I originally thought your internet speed was irrelevant on local but after some reading I’m realizing maybe you can only play as fast as your server can upload? Is there even then a difference between uploading for home use and uploading for remote use?

Feel free to ELI5, still trying to wrap my head around a few concepts here

Try setting a 15 minute app limit on any apps you get really sucked into. If you want to use it more, just give yourself another 15 minutes. And then another if you want.

The idea is just to break you out of that scrolling trance we all find ourselves in and force you to consciously choose to keep scrolling. Works even better if you set a passcode that you have to enter to add more time so you’re forced to perform an action too before you keep scrolling.

I’m a big fan of competition reality tv and a big factor for me enjoying the overall arc of the season is if the season has a satisfying winner, whether they be a strategic mastermind, an unlikely underdog, or just extremely likeable and fun to root for.

What are some seasons of reality tv shows with really satisfying winners? I’m open to literally any type of show.

Some examples of seasons where I love the winner:

Survivor USA: 15 China, 24 One World (bad season but I love the winner), 29 San Juan dev Sur, 42 Survivor Australia: Brains vs Brawn

The Amazing Race USA: 5, 7, 17, 18, 31 The Amazing Race Canada: 4

Big Brother: 2, 10, 24 Celebrity Big Brother: 2

Claim to Fame: 1 and 2

Just watched Athena (2022) and would love to see similar movies. Anything that exudes visceral anger at current systems and doesn’t really try to resolve anything in a peaceful or orderly way. The mere existence of such potent rage and anguish serves as the critique itself.

I cannot recommend this movie enough. It’s genuinely hilarious and one of the most fun movies I’ve seen in a while. It’s basically just about a group of stripper bros that go on a road trip to a dance competition and stop at various spots along the way to light up the whole room with their sexiness, charisma, and welcoming dudebro vibes. I genuinely had the biggest smile on my face for the whole movie. It’s also unbelievably sexy in a way I’d never really seen dudes portrayed before. And if you’re not into dudes, I guarantee you’ll just end up admiring these awesome guys that charm every woman they meet and are the life of the party wherever they go. There’s definitely something there for ev

Example: A detective story where the detective is gay but the story has nothing to do with their love life so their sexuality is just established through context.
