I'll give one big post at the end of the season. Season 25 was pretty good. Especially after 4 seasons of awful. Very cool to see Skupin make a run all the way to the finals when he was a great competitor in Season 2 and could have won it back than outside of the fire incident. Denise was a very strong competitor and rightful winner.. It sucks that she had to backstab Malcolm at the end but it was 100% the only move that could be made. He'd have won this season in almost a shutout Penner a piece of shit for revealing Lisa was a childhood star. Don't think she'd have won either way but still don't like it. The 3 tribes of 6 is a lot more tough IMO. Because like this season, when you make the merge with all 6 members still but have never fit in with your tribe and you got to make a move, you get screwed because your whole former tribe is on the jury.
This next season Fans vs "Favorites" is just an awful cast of Favorites. Cochran and Philip are back which are the only 2 im happy about.
The only reason I disagree with it, it's not like she was still a big time actress. It could have swayed some minds that she already was wealthy.
"The Facts of Life" was a pretty big show in the '80s - shocked she thought she'd get away with hiding her identity
Than do it while you still playing not part of the jury at that point. Like I said its a moot point, she wasn't winning either way.
Some absolutely terrible players in this season of Australian Survivor but it is making it an entertaining season. Finding it very hard to like any of the players though.
Okay I won't clutter anymore WTF Erik gets medically pulled in the last episode! Season 26 should be considered one of the best.
The green tribe would want to hope for a tribe swap as voting out what strength they had left is a pretty stupid strategy. Hard to see them not going straight back to tribal.
He was the strongest on his tribe even with his stuffed shoulder. But note saying much as they are all pretty ordinary.
Season 27 Recap - Blood Vs. Water This was one of the best seasons. The emotional decisions was fantastic. I guess Tyson grows on you a little. His first season, he came off as a massive douche. Still don't love him but not as bad as the first time. Tina might be the nicest and most wonderful person to ever play the show. Seeing Gervase back after Season 1 was pretty cool.
Season 28 - Half Way Very Fun season. Lots of twists and turns. Sad to see Cliff Robinson not go further.
The Australian season has been a pretty good watch. Some of the strategy has been a bit perplexing but entertaining.
Man green tribe is up there for worst of all time. Really like all three of the guys on purple, if they don’t eat each other they can go far together.
This has to be the best early episode season in a while. That was nuts. Cedric should have sent Sai home. She is gonna blow up his game. If they make it long enough for it to matter
I cannot stand listening to Sai speak, I fast forwarded most of tribal because I didn't feel like listening to her what so ever. I also don't think she should have been allowed to vote in the tiebreaking vote, it should have just been Cedric from the jump deciding after the first tie.
Even more maddening is Justin not fighting for his spot at all. He had so many good arguments against Sai and just sat there. Mary is the only player worth a shit on that tribe. But Sai is messy as hell and good tv, so Im not terribly upset she's still there
And Cedric’s final vote shouldn’t have been in public while she’s begging him to change his vote. Whole thing was weird
Being down to 3 he had to know the merge was coming up so relying on Mary and Sai to work together makes no sense. Also it’s more likely that Mary and Sai work together because Sai is pissed at Cedric.
That whole stipulation thing was so damn stupid. Did he think Sai was going to be like "no, we won't work together"
Underrated moment from last night: "I sleep in a trailer parked in front of my dad's house" "OH SICK DUDE!" "....not sick." "You don't like it?" "Why would I like it?"
I'd be so tilted if I was Justin. Lost your vote in a dice game you have no control over, and then get voted out due to a STD success and a deadlocked vote that you have zero control over. Also im done with Cedric playing dad to Sai.
That was one of the strangest decision making episodes in a while, it was also extremely entertaining. Justins decision to not tell Cedric was baffling in the moment and only became an even bigger issue at tribal. I have to think tribal goes completely different if Cedric knows, and Justin is likely saved. As others have stated, strange of Cedric to not keep Justin for a multitude of reasons. He had enough conviction to vote for Sai multiple times and then caved at the end. Zero chance that 3 is going to work together post merge, and Sai is messy as hell as a player. Side note to all of this, I strongly dislike anything that’s based solely on chance. If you are going to do the journey, there’s needs to be an element of control to them. Whether it’s puzzles, endurance, or social based, there needs to be an element that the player can control. Justin got chosen to go and then rolled dice, it’s the primary reason he went home. I’d prefer that to be taken out of the game in such pivotal moments.
Surely Sai is just going to spend the rest of her game trying to get Cedric out now. She seems to unhinged to not want to get revenge on him trying to vote her out, even though he saved her in the end.
Seen some production leaks that there were scenes that were left out (or perhaps post show interview) - specifically Mary fucking with Sai. Apparently Mary found a leaf that looked simiilar to an Idol Scroll when rolled up. She had placed it in her pocket, Sai had a meltdown & physically removed it from the pocket to find out what it was. I think going through bags / people personal items crosses the line - if true Production should have sent Sai packing. Also Cedric is an idiot
Mary very clearly enjoyed fucking with Sai and it made for great entertainment. Sai seems like a lunatic and I am sure it would have been fun to mess with someone like that. Anyone that follows another person around non-stop is a crazy player that will never win the game. It would be wild if she did go after Mary and ripped it from her pocket. Agreed on the personal stuff. I have always felt that there should be some level of privacy with each others bags although production doesn't seem to care at this point.
Season 28 - Update That might be the best season without having any returning players Tony potentially the GOAT. Very Russell esque without being a complete POS.
Tony is the GOAT. He’s so much fun. The spy shack was probably my favorite thing in the history of the show.
In terms of mental warfare Tony is the GOAT. In terms of strictly I am going to win every challenge to win this whole thing, its still Tom for me
I had forgotten about that. Wish he had been on longer, because it probably would have made for great television.
Him being voted out 3rd AND not using his hidden immunity after he was running the tribe. And just a perfect representation of him, the first 2 people voted out were a Sri Lankan woman and a Black Woman. Couldn't write the script about him any better
