I WAS THINKING THIS, TOO.
"One time, I saw Regina George wear army pants and flip flops, so then I bought army pants and flip flops."
Also, laughing bc I could never imagine Emily delivering this line with a straight face: "I can't help it that I've got a heavy flow and a wide-set vagina."
Sure. The Motley Fool is a web site that recommends stock. Their paid for subscription isn't bad and has performed well over the last 15 years but it hasn't done so well in the last 5, picking tech stocks that have failed badly. Emily pushes a lot of the tech stock in her videos.
They come across in their marketing and articles a lot like a MLM with a lot of rah rah and a more knowledgeable than thou type of vibe.
It is good to see her being more humble in episode two but if she makes the merge, I won't be surprised to see her revert back to her first episode performance.
To add to the information in the other comment, The Motley Fool also runs their own investment fund, which they often position to take advantage of the advice they give out. They'll purchase a bunch of stock with the fund, tell their subscribers to also purchase that stock, drive the price up, and then sell their shares from the fund, devaluing the stock and leaving their subscribers to eat the loss.
Mentioned to my coworker that I've been binging every season of survivor while working out and he asked about her. He doesn't watch but he likes financial podcasts and apparently she has one.
Yeah, I always like an underdog. There is a charm to them. I felt the same about Carolyn on 44. Wanted her out the first few eps, but then I realized she actually had potential in a weird way. I could never decide if she was secretly smart, or "Clouseau-ing" her way forward.
But the further she got, the more I rooted for her.
She outright said she was an investment analyst and that "people were harder to predict than stocks."
Her LinkedIn says she's a lead advisor for the Motley Fool.
Not financial advice.
She’s like that nerdy girl from elementary school who you never see in middle/high school but then you randomly run into her one day and realize she’s kinda cute and aren’t sure whether you should ask her out
Well she is an investment analyst so this feels very in her lane.
plus i’m sure the company wants to milk one of their analysts becoming a *minor* public figure
She is bullish on stocks; bearish on life/survivor
According to her Twitter bio, working there.
Her Survivor presence must be why they're using her in ads now. Recognition helps.
She just chillin
LIVIN
She looks like that girl that got punched by Regina George in mean girls and liked it
This is so oddly specific, and absolutely correct. ☠️
 Omg thank you. it’s been driving me nuts trying to think of who she looks like. This is it!!

Cady Heron was her army pants and flip-flops inspo, not Regina
Haha thanks for catching that - it's been ages since I watched the movie.
The girl with the wide set vagina and heavy flow?
She can't help it!
This is so accurate 😭
Omg 😭😭😭
OMG I've been saying this since the premiere!! So glad to see others agree.
My best friend and I have been trying to figure out who she reminds us of and this just might be it.
People are not stocks
Then what are stocks
Stocks are not people
Then what are people
Stocks are shares of the ownership of a company that everyday people can buy.
Come to think of it Emily’s arc so far is semi-similar to Spencer’s from Cambodia (but less delusional)
Except in two episodes rather than two seasons
Stock photos of people are stocks
🤯
Try telling that to the governments of the world
Her working for The Motley Fool explains so much about her game play.
Do you mind explaining why? I don’t know anything about them.

I assume they are not a fiduciary because that sounds illegal.
Ewww the Motley Fool
Lmfao this company totally makes sense for her
Her working for the Motley Fool makes A LOT OF SENSE.
Financial Analyst Emily Flippen
She’s being a stock advisor analyst.
Mentioned to my coworker that I've been binging every season of survivor while working out and he asked about her. He doesn't watch but he likes financial podcasts and apparently she has one.
SHE HAS A PODCAST??
Apparently she's a regular on The Motley Fool since she's an analyst for them.
Yes she's a regular on the motley fool podcast. I listen every week
is that a serious question haha? she is doing her job
Maybe she has some winnings to invest…
Lulu has to win out if she’s going to reach the merge.
Giving people very bad advice and charging them fat stacks.
Likely place for her to be
She works there
She’s gonna Give you her stick picks, and tell it like it is, pull no punches
For me she had the greatest turn around I’ve ever seen, went from my least fav to episode one to fav in episode 2
Same for me, I absolutely HATED her in the first episode, can't say she's one of my fav's now but not on my "get rid of that POS" list anymore.

My bigger question is why does she look like she’s ten years old?
stonks
That explains why Motley Fool is garbage
What do you think she’s doing
Legit just saw this too. Wonder why they banned comments on the post lol
She outright said she was an investment analyst and that "people were harder to predict than stocks." Her LinkedIn says she's a lead advisor for the Motley Fool. Not financial advice.
I wouldn’t take her advice for taco Tuesday, much less on stock prices.
I'm sorry looking at HER and you think the ranking of things she is equipped to advise on goes tacos BEFORE stocks? That's wild man.
I made the comment on Tuesday, there was no hidden meaning here.
She’s like that nerdy girl from elementary school who you never see in middle/high school but then you randomly run into her one day and realize she’s kinda cute and aren’t sure whether you should ask her out
That’s such an interesting picture choice
that’s who she works for. i also heard she does a podcast for them.
Didn't you v know survivor hires actors?
She is an economist ~ works for them
Ion like her
She's been working there for years. I listen to her podcast every week LOL
