in all seriousness, they kind of give the vibe that they talked out whatever issues they had at some point during the season airing and ended up at least chill with each other

I think that’s the most likely scenario. When Venus did her exit press the only person at Ponderosa she singled out for being nice to her was Hunter.

Hunter seems like the kind of guy that will leave the game in the game and will try to smooth the rough patches that were created in the game.

He needs to come back for another season.

Obviously, armchair analyzing on my side, but Hunter strikes me as the kind of person who doesn't try to hold grudges and would talk stuff out if he had issues with someone, especially since he's a teacher.

u/Eidola0 avatar

I know some people will jump at the opportunity to disagree with this, but Venus actually doesn't seem the type either. In and out of game she consistently seems like she just wants to patch things up with people and get along, so it doesn't actually surprise me that her and Hunter specifically made up.

Reminds me that Venus was actually so supportive of Soda on Twitter for the longest time, especially when people were saying nasty things to Soda about her body. She even blocked all of those people. Not gonna lie, that's why it shocked me at first when Soda posted that whole essay regarding Venus' exit interview, when I thought it was kinda obvious she wasn't talking about her (she even called Soda a sweetheart). But I guess it's because Soda thought people were going to speculate the wrong person so she had to clear the air somehow. Someone said it's just some ploy for her to get casted again though.

True. During the earlier part of the season, Venus would go live on IG whenever an episode drops. And whenever someone mentions Soda in a bad light, she would always say "We love Soda" and remind everyone to keep it cute in the comments.

Someone said it's just some ploy for her to get casted again though.

Are you referring to Soda or Venus?

If it's Venus...

During her Rhap exit interview, Venus showed hesitancy to play again because of her bad experience.

Venus is also a loud and proud advocate for women in general, so I don't think being supportive of Soda after the game was any ploy to gain favour, she genuinely thinks women should uplift women.

I think Hunter truly, truly does not care what people think of him and this is all a big, fun game for him. Coupled with not holding grudges means he easily gets on with people, especially post-show. I think Venus likewise doesn't hold grudges but I do think she deeply cares what people think of her so that's why we see a more defensive/aggressive response to thinks from her.

u/OhItsKillua avatar

I think she sorta does or at the least if she feels wronged by people she's willing to bury the hatchet, but wants whomever she may have issue with to do it of their own accord. I mean in her exit interviews she mentioned how most of the jury didn't speak to her or offer an apology she felt she was deserving of.

Venus doesn’t hold “in-game” grudges. Or so it seems. But she definitely holds a grudge if she thinks it crosses that line like with Tevin. Maybe Maria.

yeah for whatever reason everyone here is giving only hunter credit for putting the game behind them and being mature but in order for them to be friends, venus had to do the same

Plus it’s in a situation where it behooves everyone else to gang up on an outsider and feed the negative perceptions of others.

I think the hate seems to be comin from tevin n soda mostly.

u/Consistent-Dot-3460 avatar

Yeah. Seems like they just didn’t work bc they were on opposite sides of alliances and stuff. Probably had thoughts about each other but hashed them out

I will say at the RHAP live event after party they were definitely talking. At one point I saw Venus fully reach her arm out to grab Hunter and pull him aside (like to get away from the crowd and talk one on one). Whether they are fully on good terms or not who can say but, they seemed friendly enough.

u/RobbedOddUs avatar

are they secretly dating?!

(This is a Hunter-Tevin relationship joke)

We stan an enemies to lovers story!

(to be clear, I also don't think they are dating lol)

Pls no rumors 😅

Lmao at a survivor premiere party we filled out predictions and I said Venus and Hunter start dating. I want this to be true 😭

They give me big brother little sister vibes - they can annoy the hell out of each other but end up coming together 

Can’t believe Hunter made a fancam XD

u/Wills4291 avatar

So I went to fancam's website, and I'm still not positive what it is Hunter has done with Fancam? What is it?

u/beepbou avatar

a “fancam” as in fan camera is slang term for a video of a celebrity or something of the sort (in this case a reality tv contestant), usually of a bunch of edited clips over music

u/Wills4291 avatar

Thank you. I would have thought fancam website would have cleared it up for me. Now I'm not even sure if it's the same thing.

Oh, a fancam is like an edit put together of people on a show.

Venus said she enjoyed playing some board game with Hunter at Ponderosa. I think they’re probably chill.

They’re basically siblings.

u/Ok-Alarm-2075 avatar

its likely they are somewhat friendly because Venus stated that Hunter was the only person who was really welcoming to her at ponderosa

I get major big brother little sister vibes. I was at my sisters graduation today and we speak to each other the exact same way

I can’t be sure, but I’ve seen a rumor they’re getting married with a kid on the way and are madly deeply in love with… or not

Venus/hunter shippers eating rn

u/yeehaw-girl avatar

hunter pinned a comment saying “when wattpad meets survivor” 😭 

She called him big brother on his Instagram post so that ship has sailed. I’m just happy they like each other on a personal level.

u/_Zsxt avatar

That feels like a targeted attack towards the shippers

Yeah. I didn’t appreciate it. Let me live my fantasies.

I think they’re friends. Probably Ponderosa helped a lot and I do think Venus came into Ponderosa wanting to put the game aside and keep it there. I know Venus still came for Hunter after his exit interview but I imagine they squashed that immediately privately.

Wasn’t there a pic of them with Tiff too.

Loving this story arc though 🤣

I do think Venus is cool with everyone except Tevin, Maria and apparently Soda even if Venus only said nice things about Soda in her exit interviews.

I don’t think they even know 😂

u/Quetzal00 avatar

They’ve gone through an enemies to lovers arc. It’s pretty obvious

This is exactly how my brother and I would interact if we were ever stuck with each other 24/7. It's very much giving me annoyed sibling vibes. I don't think they dislike each other, but are also not hankering to spend time together.

u/angellikeme avatar

They probably feel better talking outside the game when they had to live together 24/7.

More replies

FWIW Venus followed Hunter on Twitter, one of only like 3 people from the cast she followed. It also does seem like they’re friendly outside of the show, so I get the vibe they worked out their issues on the island

Yeah other than him she only follows Jem, Jess, and Jelinsky!!!

She started with H, I, J… then stopped.

The Tevin and Hunter are together reports were obviously subterfuge for the real story if Hunter and Venise!

they give off siblings vibes

There’s a big difference between not liking someone on a competition reality show and knowing they’re a good person outside of the show

Did she change the way her name was spelled in honor of Q’s butchering of it? 😂

u/AlinoVen avatar

I just think Hunter understands it's a game an its not that serious. I gained huge respect for him for not joining in on the V pandarosa drama.

u/Nier_Perfect avatar

Enemies during the game but friends at Ponderosa

Cheering for them to be secretly dating

u/H3ater123 avatar

They should get together with Q and form a band. Call it The Lizardz.

Hahaha love that her profile name is Venise!

Yes

Mum and dad vibes

u/eyeluvdix avatar

Yes they became good friends at ponderosa. Hunter is one of the few ppl that was nice to her apparently. Not sure why they edited to make it seem otherwise

in an exit interview venus mentioned how hunter and her would play scrabble and watch movies alot at ponderosa, so i think they were friends post game and put the game behind them

u/rantingsofastarseed avatar

they give off the impression of two people attracted to each other but would never date because they are too different of people. subtle beef with strong undertones of attraction.

Honestly, I think Venus has a crush on him and she is objectively pretty. During the game, he was too focused and it pissed her off, but outside of that, he probably gave her a little attention and now wage is smitten.

Hunter seems super chill, so he is probably fine with her.

Venus is all over the damn place. She singles him out as her only positive Ponderosa experience, but also singled him out to shit talk on twitter when episodes aired.

So honestly, I feel like he just doesn't care and will go along, and her opinion on him shifts with the winds.

u/FodlandyEnjoyer avatar

WAIT WAS VENUS’S DISPLAY NAME ALWAYS ‘VENISE’ OR DID SHE CHANGE IT AFTER SHE GOT VOTED HELP-

u/ReasonableCup604 avatar

She changed it after the episode where her name was written that way.

u/FodlandyEnjoyer avatar

YES I LOVE HER NOW-

This isn’t meant to as an insult to Venus, but Hunter is very used to working with younger people who are still developing mentally, are finding themselves, and have not yet fully mellowed out. Not only working with them, but trying to get them to grow and mentor them. So it doesn’t shock me that he would be able to roll with Venus a lot more easily than anyone else.

u/Akasha111 avatar

Hunter works with kids and Venus is 25. I would be insulted if I were Venus.

u/g4n0esp4r4n avatar

They are dating.

That’s different than the text in those posts on their accounts now. It doesn’t say hate. I wonder if this is photoshopped or if they changed it. Hunter seems like the kind of person who wouldn’t harbor negative feelings or a grudge towards anyone.

u/bigjimbay avatar

They are friends who have probably agreed that the publicity about them secretly dating is good
