If you've recently entered the Survivor subforum, you've probably encountered people arguing about whether or not edgic discussions constitutes spoiler tags, mainly stemming from the fact that Michele, the winner of the spring 2016 season of Survivor, was one of the more obvious winners by edgicians and one of the more surprising winners to non-edgicians.

In terms of edgicing BBUK..... it's pretty pointless alol. Maybe someone else has a different perspective but to me, there's something therapeutic about assigning colored cells to reality TV contestants and using the composite rating to organize my thoughts and feelings and visually represent the series.

How Edgic Works: Each cell has two components - rating and tone. Rating is breaking down what type of content you had in an episode, while tone is breaking down how the viewers are supposed to perceive the content. There are mainly four different ratings and four different tones, and they can be mixed and matched.

Edgic Ratings: UTR ~ you more or less weren't in the episode, and if you were your content was either unmemorable or you were deliberately edited to be under the radar. Think of Sam Evans, Hira, most recently Charlotte, etc.
MOR ~ you're present, but not particularly dynamic. The content and airtime is there, but there is a lacking of personal insight or character development. You're middle of the road. Think of someone like Kieran.
CP ~ you are a complex personality. You're one of the main forces driving the narrative and we are learning and who you are as a person as you are providing your personal insight. Deana Uppal, Aisleyne, Aaron, etc. You can also throw in your obnoxious GAMEPLAYERS in here like Victor and nasty Nick.
OTT ~ over the top. I don't think this needs much explaining, BBUK pretty much rewrote the definition for over the top when it introduced people like Nikki and Charley and Kinga.

Edgic Tone: Neutral ~ we're not supposed to feel a particular way about you. Think like.... Liam or Karly or Laura McAdam.
Positive (P) ~ you're a protagonist and someone who the editors are explicitly telling us to root for. This is actually surprisingly rare due to the format of BBUK. Think of people like Brian Belo, Nadia, Luke A, Brian Dowling (hey they all won). If you're looking for someone who didn't win..... Samanda also work.
Negative (N) ~ we're either supposed to dislike you or love to hate you. Charley, Victor, Bea, Helen ****ing Wood, etc.
Mixed (M) ~ there are both positives and negatives to how you're presented. Due to the nature of BBUK, like 80% of the people end up with mixed tone. Nikki, Aaron, Aisleyne, Freddie, etc.

What do the numbers mean? I kinda understand the concept but also find it hard to imagine "on a scale" if that makes sense.

interesting idea tho

Numbers are visibility rating how visible they are on the episode from 1-5

YOU MUST PICK ONE

lol you all know I love my edgic but I'll only be posting my chart weekly. I actually *do* keep a record of daily edgic ratings bc my memory is so ****e that I need accurate notes in order to get my weekly ratings, but the charts are sooooo huge that I would need to like past two or three screen grabs in Photoshop and it's not worth it lmao

But yes, I am slowly working towards my goal of having a full set of BBUK edgic charts, which is one of the reasons I'm kinda fine with the show being cancelled? If they keep churning this show out then it truly is a Sisyphean task.

Not to be That Guy and criticize other people's ratings but Lewis G has been like textbook OTTM so far. Like for all the annoying antics that all of y'all hate him for he's probably gotten more positive SPV than negative lol.

If you're basing this on the whole week, I disagree with the people who put Anamélia as OTTN since Friday's show she was randomly OTTP in the midst of her beginning of OTTNs as well as a few M ratings here and there.

Kenaley also was only visible in the episode she clashed with Anamélia so unless the first half of tonight's show changes anything, she's definitely UTR/UTRM imo.

Macie Lightfoot · 23-09-2018, 11:03 PM

Will have my chart posted soonish ugh I'm so slow especially while I'm trying to edgic BBUS as well as trying to be a working girl! But post ur charts ladies so I can steal and criticize ratings......x

Epic. · 23-09-2018, 11:16 PM

Finished my one

Nearly put Lewis G as OTTM but trying to poison the house changed that and I can't see why any of you would put him as anything other than OTTN because of it

reece(: · 25-09-2018, 04:58 PM

RileyH · 25-09-2018, 05:23 PM

Why is Brooke MOR sis has had like 5 minutes of airtime and that's being generous

Macie Lightfoot · 01-10-2018, 02:49 AM

Lewis G was definitely OTTM because as annoying as he was he *did* receive a significant amount of positive SPV about how he's actually funny and fun and likable and whatever else. Like 10 minutes of #CrossContaminationGate doesn't negate a week how The Real Lewis G isn't actually that bad.

I'm a week behind sooo idk when I'll have my next update :3
