The cast (particularly the men) look like a bunch nerds.

Have you ever watched the new era? You arent allowed to be straight, white and male and be competent if you want to be cast.

Any straight white male has to be out of shape and a giant submissive nerd

Yeah I've tried a couple of the new seasons but wasn't overly interested in watching a bunch of people I don't really connect with or relate to.

A couple weirdos is fine but feels like the newer seasons are full of them.

Complaining new era men are all nerds on the back of 48 is a fascinating opinion

48 was better but still not many white men who weren’t nerds

There were too many nerds in recent seasons bar last one, but why do they have to be straight white males?

 

[Ochre]

48 was better

that's the first time that's ever been said

They don't have to be white straight males but it feels like the casting goes out of its way to cast misfits and social outcasts. Happens in the USA ones too. It's like they're filling a quota of tick boxes making sure they've got one of everything.

I personally only find a couple of them interesting and the rest to be a nuisance. I personally would rather watch people like Simon who make good TV and are competitors.

They don't have to be. Agree there is too many nerds. They seem completely against casting anyone athletic for a few seasons at all there and plenty whose whole personality was being gay / a minority

This says what i was trying to much more eloquently.

Starts today

Three teams again

I will do a Terry Wallace if we have the same team lose for the next 4 episodes

 

[Ochre]

If they're going to keep recycling the same format when it's beyond stale at this point, I may as well do the same.

Really need to piss the three tribes off, just leaves no room for anything beyond really basic votes. Sweat or Savvy was the same dud its been for the other 5 seasons.

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.

Hopefully they let us vote on 2v3 tribes and taking away the flint if Probst is never going to figure it out.

 

[Ochre]

Do like this cast though, hopefully they can carry the season til the merge

 

[GhostofJimJess]

Great to have it back again. A few really good characters ... bodes well.

 

[Gasometer]

It was a solid opener; it’s a great lead into the end of the year; a diversion

I was catching up on this and interesting on one of the podcasts they were talking about the male alternate. The guy mentioned he was an alternate on the mat talk with Jeff but apparently there was a a female alternate in the game too as two people got booted for passing notes to each other pre game when they are supposed to be in isolation.

Pretty sure MC is the female alternate

 

[Kirby]

Wasn’t a bad opener.

 

[hotchilli]

Kristina is extremely annoying.

 

[Amazing Racer]

So first two episodes were predictable with who got voted out. Although this show seems too focused on the blue team in both episodes so it was clear they were going to tribal
