Survivor on Sidechat | Can the whole lying about your job thing please just be thrown out of the whole survivor culture? Even it can have some benefit, I highly doubt it matters as much as the players seem to think it does, and I'm just tired of seeing it

The only time it really makes sense is if they’re a former pro athlete who made millions before. Like Jeff Kent not telling people he was a MVP player in baseball, that makes sense. 20 something lawyers not sharing that they’re lawyers and then some of them judging Jake from 45 for admitting that he is one is so annoying

It also just comes off as very conceited and kinda classist to me. Like I promise you no one gives a fuck that you have a phd and make a lot of money. You have no advantage in a social game over a waitress.

Im an actor with a psych degree and I was ever on the show I would absolutely not tell people that. Why give people a reason to vote you out? I think people do it more than they need to but I think there are specific instances it is valid.

It's pretty much impossible to know how well it works but I feel like people underestimate the convenience of being able to talk freely about your personal life out there. You already have to lie a lot in the game as is, so if you have to lie about everything else too, that probably makes it harder to form genuine connections.

I think just talking about your life but switching out the damning details is the way to go. I only picked up a degree in psych in case I get on Survivor. It really depends on the group you’re with and your ability to read what other people will be receptive to

Good point, if you're gonna lie it should be as close to the the truth as possible without the stigma you're trying to avoid. Using a previous job or a side hustle makes sense. Usually when someone lying about their job backfires on a reality show it's because their lie was too far from the truth to keep up.
