Interesting so far.

Not sure what to think about the casting at this point.
 
Nobody bothers me completely so far so that's a plus. Nobody seems like a true villian though and this show is desperately missing one. I am so tired of Figi and the same games being repurposed over and over though.

Make sure you all sign up and vote for the 50th season. They are doing this once a week and 3 of the 4 questions for this one were a lot of the things a lot of us complained about before...

TRIBE COLORS
LET’S START WITH THE PLAYER’S BUFFS! CHOOSE THE TRIBE COLORS YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE FOR SURVIVOR 50!

RICE OR NO RICE
CAMP LIFE! DO YOU WANT TO MAKE IT A BIT EASIER ON THE TRIBES AND LET THEM START WITH A SUPPLY OF RICE? OR DO YOU WANT THEM TO EARN THEIR RICE THROUGH EFFORT OR SACRIFICE?

FINAL FOUR FIRE MAKING
OKAY LET’S GET INTO SOME GAME PLAY. THE FINAL FOUR FIRE-MAKING SHOWDOWN HAS DELIVERED SOME OF THE MOST DRAMATIC MOMENTS IN SURVIVOR HISTORY—BUT NOT EVERY FAN IS ON BOARD. WHERE DO YOU STAND?

REVEAL IN LOS ANGELES OR FIJI
LOOKING AHEAD… SHOULD WE BRING BACK THE LIVE FINALE AND REUNION SHOW IN LOS ANGELES OR KEEP THE WINNER REVEAL AND AFTERSHOW IN THE JUNGLES OF FIJI?

I feel Joe is gonna be the fan favorite of the season, especially among casuals. He gives me some new generation Tom Westman vibes. No one else really stuck out to me, although Sai strikes me as someone who even if they make it far is gonna alienate a ton of people along the way. David is lost but will stick around until at least very late pre-merge or early merge, he's too much of an asset in Challenges. I get serious disaster tribe vibes from the Green tribe though.

Where are the vote to make it 39 days again? Different location? Physical challenges? Make it like Survivor AU?

Clearly they already know what everyone is voting for in their questions aside from the Buff colors that nobody really cares about.

Spoiler: No rice to start, no more fire making, reveal back in LA.

In the promo they showed during the show last night Jeff said there's going to be new questions every week.

The way they worded the fire question certainly makes it appear that they really want people to vote to keep it to me.

It's unfortunately going to be Fiji though, they announced that part already.

Not as bad as some season openers.

Sai is too scatterbrained to last long. That wide-eyed look she gets is often indicative of someone who has some unoccupied real estate behind the eyes. It should have been her tonight and I think her team will regret not voting her off. Everyone will suffer Sai's wrath because someone dared to vote for her. She will make them all pay.

Too early to get a feel for most of the rest except David. The guy needs a lesson in humility, followed by dual titty twisters the next time he takes his shirt off.

The rest of the cast seems all right, in particular the Samoan-looking fire chief dude. It's pretty difficult to dislike him. I'm hoping he does well.

One of the ugliest casts I can remember. Sorry, had to say it.

Sai has no awareness. Will go home with an idol in her pocket within a few episodes.

Kind of a boring first episode otherwise. Didn’t look like a great season based off the first episode, but probably stupid to judge on one episode.

It's diverse to say the least. I heard that starting next season Probst is going to allow people to bring their service animals with them.

I'm going to assume this is a joke, but I've legit thought about it. I have a host of physical issues that would make it difficult to be on Survivor, but I have service dog who warns me if I'm going to have a balance problem from the brain tumor I had.

He'd probably love it. Big beach fan. We'd need to be able to win Beggin Strips though.

Yep, so f***ing annoying. They have 3 obvious votes and 1 irrelevant vote. Now when they go back to what everyone has wanted from the start they can say "oh wow, look you guys are making the game so much better and we're giving you what you want!" when in reality they're the ones who took it away.

agree on all counts. Boring ep, but at least it didn't have any quitters.

It's been confirmed they aren't making 39 days an option. While, I'd like them to go to 39, once they realized they could get 90 minute episodes out of 2/3rds the work no chance they are going back. They already have their lease deal in place.

My number 1 nightmare for this vote is they make us choose between EOE or RI, without neither as an option.

Did I miss this weeks vote? It says stayed tuned for the next voting when I click the link at the top. What is EOE and RI, i'm sure i know but the abbreviation is slipping from me.

But yea, they would never go back to 39 days when they can do it in 21 days. Save half the money while asking for more money from advertising.

Yeah, it's 26 days. Weirdly the Challenge has shown you can get a 10 episode season out of like a month for All Stars, but then still takes like 3 months to film the flagship (which is 18 episodes).

As for what those abbreviations mean

EOE= Edge of Extinction
RI= Redemption Island.

As for the vote, I'm not sure. I don't remember seeing anything new.
editL checked the link, seems their is nothing to vote on this week. Here's the link for everyone else for future reference.

It's a joke about how far Survivor has gone in its quest to give the appearance that it's progressive. I could have just as easily used people with extra toes as an example,

I have a disability that would never allow me to compete on Survivor.

Are you referring to the Vula tribe that lost last episode?

Yes if thats the green tribe. Basically every season in the new era theres been a disaster tribe that loses practically every challenge. Before the season I said Green has a high probability to be that tribe by just looking at the tribes and looks like that was right.
 
Fun blindside last ep. Looked like Kevin was gonna cry when Probst read the votes. He sucked, glad he's gone. But that whole tribe sucks. Maybe the pizza guy doesn't suck, but too early to tell. The rest all definitely suck.

Watching the doctor's lack of coordination on the balance beam, there's no way I would trust him holding a scapula.

Enjoyed the move, just sucked that it was orchestrated by the least likeable person on this entire season lmao.

Also agreed about the doctor. Jesus, man how could he be that terrible.
