Most of the time, especially in Ryan's confessionals, no one is really saying these things from a place of malice or hatred. It's mostly banter, which is part of what makes Survivor interesting: people adapting to others who they normally wouldn't interact with in real life. No disrespect but some of you come across as a bit soft whenever someone talks about someone else in confessional. Cirie, Rob, Sandra, Richard Hatch, Tyson, Parvati, etc a lot of fan favorites did the same thing. That isn't what I meant at all when I said Ryan and Chrissy's confessionals are arrogant. Of course they don't say anything from a place of hatred or malice, but they certainly won't shy from praising themselves ALL the time, giving us their narrative throughout most of the episode on how we should think about others, and dominate the screentime. I LOVE some good and funny banter, but their confessionals have nothing funny nor endearing to make us root for them. Those examples you gave are entertaining, some controversial, and regardless if heroes, villains or somewhere in between - always interesting. Ryan and Chrissy are just annoying more than anything.
