Agree with Fiji… they do it because it’s a lot easier to film there. And the 25 days is too short imo.

Really more excited for Australia to start than this one.

Probst has talked alot about Fiji and how it makes the show possible. Don't think they're leaving.

This season has provided a carefully crafted group of diversity.

Unfortunately, they failed to include any rude, offensive, and totally crass players who actually make the show a bit more fun to watch. As someone mentioned before, the best part of the show is watching the people you hate get voted off.

The show is striving so hard to be progressive, it lost a bit of its edge.

I’m enjoying the season. It’s an enjoyable diversion for me. I will never get to do anything like that anymore so it’s fun to watch. The girl with the amputated leg is inspiring in real life. Good for her.

My brother lost part of his leg last year and he is not in that same positive space yet….

Anyways good show!

Gotta say that this season is really kinda boring. It lacks the core gut drama and passion that made it good in the past.

They've diluted it too much so as not to offend the weenies. Everybody now has a stupid tear-jerking backstory of overcoming hardship. They all profess their love to the remaining players as they are voted off.

Bring back the a-hole personalities. They are fun to watch go down. It's just too vanilla now.

We were talking about this last night. Won’t be watching another season if it’s this format again. Sooooo boring.

I can't wait for the next Australian survivor season!

They should refresh the format every season. I’m getting tired of the trading of beads.

Have not seen this weeks, which shows my own personal interest disappearing as well.

James voice is terrible can’t stand the gargling sound anymore… agree wish I hated or liked more of these folks

He sounds like a robot.

His voice is so weird - it’s like it’s the exact wrong frequency for the recording equipment or something. Pity he got voted off - his voice was the only interesting thing this season.

I think that's a lot of the problem. New gimmicky 'advantages' especially. Too much randomization. I think a mix of people actually fit to 'outplay' and 'outlast' would be a nice return to form.

You could eliminate all advantages in one season and then completely change it next season, for instance.

Love that they move the location country ever year.

It sounds awesome!

In a lukewarm season last episode was pretty good.

Forgot this one was still on…

Why the hell did Cody give his idol to Jesse? To gain trust from him? What a fuckin dumb ass. Jesse is a back stabbing piece of shit and I don’t care if it’s a game, that move shows his integrity. I’ll do anything for my family. Oh ok. Sure hope that dude does not win.

I can tell I will need to stay away from this thread to avoid spoilers.

I have watched quite a few seasons, but not in any discernable order. I am currently watching season 33 for the first time.

Most brutal move I’ve seen in awhile. Was pretty smart for Jesse though. Hardest possible road he has to final three is a fire making challenge (unless they throw in a new curveball). We’ll see if it bites him in the end.

Cody was a good, likable guy, so you just knew he was going to be backstabbed or outplayed and indeed he was.

(Spoiler alert.)

Yep the end game of this season is proving to be very good.

I almost thought Cody was brilliant in how he retained his idol back from Jesse. But then he was stupid and gave it back. He failed to see the consequences.

Jesse was smart to take advantage of Cody's mistake. It's cut- throat. He wouldn't beat him with integrity. He also cleverly flushed the other remaining idol out by how he played the stolen idol.

Jesse is my pick of who should win.

I disagree I don't think Cody gave his idol back to Jesse.

I thought Jesse mentioned he had another idol given to him by a player that left the game. He said no one knew he was given that idol. So with Cody's idol he had two.

Then reluctantly gave Cody back his idol.

Oh yeah, I think you're right. I suppose it's unclear if Cody actually gave his back to Jesse or not.

But when Jesse played an idol for Owen, why wouldn't Cody clue in and play his if he had it?

I still think Jesse outplayed Cody. Especially if he still has another idol in his pocket that nobody knows about.

If Cody had an idol he would have played it, since he voted for Owen. After Karla played hers too only Cody, Jesse, and Gabler could be voted out…. No way he went home with one.

Cody definitely returned his idol back to Jesse. It was just edited out.

Jesse psyched Cody into thinking Karla had the knowledge is power advantage and would steal it, so Cody gave it back.

Jesse played the situation perfectly.

I think Jesse is the clear favorite to win despite sucking in challenges. Editing also shows Owen to have chance to be in finals. Little blondie and Carla have no shot

sedason 7 of australlian survivor is on dailymotion and is kick ass

no, its the "allstars" there are i think episodes up so far on dailymotion. Australlian survivor puts the american one to shame with its challenges. Boy are they physical. Oh and the host Johnathon still will say "come on in GUYS" lol

****SPOILER****

Could you imagine being in the final 3, knowing this money would change you and your families lives, only to see the winner tell everyone they don't need it and they are giving it all away? Sure I am all about charity, but this seems extra messed up to me and must really sting the players there that really need it.

Also surprised Gabler won, I would not have guessed that before watching the episode, but he put up the best argument and deserved it when it was all said and done.

I also hope they change the format of the show and go down to 2 finalists in the following seasons, it just seems like the 3 is a waste of time and the 3rd person usually gets ZERO votes anyways. Make it more of a battle between 2 then watering it down between 3 finalists.

I fast forwarded most of the episode. Once Jesse was eliminated I knew Gabler would win it. Didn't watch any of the questions. Think I'm finally done with survivor since watching from day 1

I enjoyed the season, but it could have been so much better. One thing I think they could improve on is picking contestants.. None of them are interesting anymore and it seems like they pick a lot of really young players now (late teens/early 20's). I just think there is more substance in gameplay when the contestants have life experiences.

Also, they don't pick out good looking contestants anymore (haha), just an observation. The whole show used to be packed with lookers, now... not so much.

The end of this season was good, liked it better than last couple seasons anyway. Middle dragged with a lot of safe votes.

Australia coming back next month!

Cassidy was pretty hot tho. I was thinking it was gonna be her or Owen. I personally voted Owen. Congrats to Gabler, pretty self less to donate it to the veterans.

And Gabler wins - can’t be serious thinking that’s a good ending. Been watching since day 1 ready to hang my hat.

It’s so funny over the years how many times I’ve seen people say “I’m done” and the reasoning behind it. I bet you 9 out of 10 still watch. Lol

I thought it was great ending. Who would you voted for out of those three?

He killed it at tribal no doubt - but the wife and I would have chosen either of the other 2. Cass would have been the choice although she got called out on what she thought was her strategy. Honestly we didnt care who won at the end it was that type of season for us.

Im one of the 9 of 10 that will continue even though I thought this season was flat and am saying Im not.

Australia is just so much better.

Respectfully I disagree that Owen or Cassidy should have won. Owen was just there it felt like he had no real effect on the game the entire time with the exception of winning a few challenges. Cassidy chickened out of the fire challenge and got called out at tribal when she claimed to mastermind Ryan’s vote. Plus it looks like Karla threat of campaigning against her was cashed in. Gabler really did play a great silent game, I think it’s a strategy we haven’t seen pay off often but he almost swept the entire vote. He had an alliance with almost every jury member and no real bad animosity towards him (versus Cassidy).

Still kills me that he wins it all against people that that could have used the money to change their lives and he just gives it all away LMAO

I was super disappointed that Jesse failed the fire challenge. The pressure on him was immense.

He deserved to win. After he was eliminated, it was now all about Cassidy losing.

She was so out of touch and over-confident thinking she had won before any voting. And the shocked look on her face when she failed to get the votes made that last episode worthwhile. She sure seemed unaware of her standing with the jury.

These final 3 were not the best players. Carla, Jesse and Cody deserved to be there more. But Gabler was the best of the final three.

And I have total respect for Gabler donating the money. What a statement.

Agree with your best players

And then we get a preview for the next season and in the first 10 seconds we get a sexual orientation comment from a player. We don’t need to know that info. Just play the game.

Come on in guys
