FTA-TV Survivor 47

[Gasometer]

It’s back on Thursday Sept 18th with a 2 hour episode

In the meantime this makes for interesting contemplation of where the post 2020 era has gone off the rails…basically the smartest guy in the room syndrome

Fire Jeff Probst

It’s time for Survivor’s stalwart host to hang up his buff for good.

Jesus, I still have to watch 45 & 46.
The last season I watched was won by Jam Jam.
Might just wait for the next season of Aust Survivor.

2 seasons feels like to much Survivor to me. I'll watch it, but the previous season feels like it just finished.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

For anyone with a couple of hours to spare and a vivid imagination, my mate and I ran an AFL version of Survivor on our podcast. One player repping each AFL side. Link is in my signature.

Gameplay starts at around 16 mins in.

 

[The Sultan]

What’s the spoiler policy ?

 

[Warsaw]

Brutal first exist.

B2B seasons where they probably should have spent more time doing psych evals...the second hand embarrassment is getting to be a bit much.

Casting is still determined to go the super fan route, with the only differentiator being the "super" super fan.

Sol was a beast though.

Andy softer than butter.

I'm concerned they didn't have enough of people doing dumb tasks to get keys in that episode.

They've got to either go to 2 tribes, or stop making the early game so physically demanding. Jon was absolutely the right call to vote off and it sucks.

All that said, still enjoyed it. Seems a good cast on the whole.

 

[Hamingja]

Enough with the neurotic casting.

Bring back some recruits. That way the players that crash and burn early are at least entertaining like Rogue from Australian Survivor.

It feels like there has been an Andy on every season of the new era.

 

[Gasometer]

Wasn’t bad except for Probst’s introductory diatribe; if they showed this in the Middle East atm he would have us believe peace would endure. Pretentious; that’s the sort of intro you do at the start of S50

Loved the burial of the box on the track to the water

 

[Amazing Racer]

Are they really running out of legitimate contestants or are they selecting people like Andy deliberately?

 

[Kirby]

I’m all for picking the crazies but they need to pick the ones with some fortitude.

It’s not a bad cast otherwise so far.

I’m disappointed that they booted John though. I liked the way he talked.

 

[Gasometer]

That was entertaining that episode and set up well with big mouth to go at Tribal

The bags of rice in the challenge…wasteful and could have been filled by with sand.

 

[Hamingja]

The guy that played the idol is a bit of a strange cat but that was actually pretty smart.

I didn't really think about him playing the idol for himself there until he did it.

He would have expected a 3-3 tie and the idol would have kept him out of any rock draw and pressured the other woman to flip on the revote if she did vote with the two guys.

Turns out she didn't but everyone knew about the advantage after him dropping the box down the hill so no biggie.

Plus playing it for Sue would've been a give away that they are close.

 

[Kirby]

Good episode. This season has started well.

 

[muttley45]

Are there any real immunity idols out there this early, or only the beware advantage things ?

Not yet

 

[Sasquatch]

Worth watching?

 

[Gasometer]

Yeh another solid week; i sometimes fast forward through the Challenges but not this season because they have been interesting and difficult

Hope Sol goes well, he pulled Rome’s crap straight up and Rome did the nervous eye twitch. Rome is obnoxious

 

[Ochre]

Hate taking players votes away at all, but especially when they don't even get a choice in risking it. I feel like the next blue and yellow tribals are going to be more boring because of the lost votes now.

I'm biased because I was rooting for Aysha, but the whole not flipping on Sol thing seemed like a fake simple explanation for why the vote went her. Would love to know the full story.

 

[Kirby]

The season is still going ok. It's at least good that no one tribe is being decimated early.
