    Quoted from frolic:

    Bruce's thunk to the head was painful. Could clearly hear it. I knew there was no way he could stick around without being checked out in a hospital. I'm surprised they let him stay until night.

    I have no idea how they thought he could stay in the game. He was clearly concussed.

    Quoted from frolic:

    Not sure what to make of the multiple shot in the darks being used. That one lady seemed to play it for no reason other than straight paranoia. I don't see her doing well in the game.

    Do they only get one of those all game? Pretty curious move.

    Quoted from frolic:

    The cage in the woods was cool and spooky. Hopefully one of the other tribes will open it without everyone being there and we can see the fake bracelet get used.

    Funny thing is everyone in that tribe will know about the fake idol if it makes it to the merge. Group searches are dumb. Last thing I would want is to try to hide the idol from my tribe while a camera guy is chasing me around shooting my pocket.

    Quoted from Pdxmonkey:

    Are you watching the current season of Australia?

    Is it streaming anywhere? I'm tired of this survivor, would like to try aus. Thx

    #653 1 year ago

    *spoilers*
    The shot in the darks getting used were totally unnecessary, seemed very paranoia based, made for a crazy tribal council though! Brandon got to use the idol perfectly and get out the person who was aiming to become his biggest enemy. Agree with all saying that the idol being found as a group was very anticlimactic, hopefully the other 2 idols get to take advantage of the cool setup better.

    I'm not particularly impressed with the characters yet either, but only one episode in there's not a lot to go off. Carolyn the drug counselor has been the most wild and interesting in her confessionals, she could end up being fun to watch, hopefully she stays in for a while.

    Marioparty might be able to help you with a nicer quality video.

    I watch on 10play but you need a VPN to watch there.

    What a great season Australia.

    #656 12 months ago

    The best seasons for me are when I change who I root for during the final few episodes and that person wins. And in this case, that happened. I am pretty happy with it. Bring on the next season!

    My favorite seasons are where they can put in twists that balance between unexpected and not too radical or abundant. This season really did that well.

    Edit
    Spoilers in next post…skip if you haven’t seen yet.

    Was my favorite season, it was really good. Not that i liked george per say, he was one of those that you hate so much that you like him. No doubt he would have one if he made to the final three, and the only way any had a chance was the final vote which they did. Gerry really had no business making it that far, great guy with a awesome attitude of trust, just that he did nothing and although he dis agreed, he was a pawn

    Matt just didnt have the fight, in the episode, he was the one to talk to gerry first about voting george off. Not that we know the timestamps of the editing, but he should have fought more to claim being the one to vote george off. And although he did when several immunity challenges, the only reason he was still there was because of that, as he had no social game

    Liz was the best bet for winning of the final three, but again, i dont think she did anything special, this season was all george, regardless of how annoying he was, he just played a great game every day, and im still amazed he made it as far as he did

    my BIL just gave me a VPN access but when I go to sign up for 10Play Australia it says for me to disable my VPN before signing up.

    Is there any way around this?

    #660 11 months ago

    At least they have gone away from all the WOKE crap! This season is pretty good IMO

    I use (and recommend) Nord VPN, just wait for one of their deals including when you want to renew and it usually cost me 20$ a year.

    I don't know what they do differently than the others I tried but I never get a you're on a VPN message or a wrong country message.

    Nord is great, you get 12 devices for the same price.

    This thread has been dead during this current season, but the finale is now in two days.

    These early comments after the first show remain relevant into the final episode.

    Quoted from RTS:

    My early pick to win is the nerd with glasses.

    Quoted from frolic:

    He'll definitely make the case for how far a data crunching super fan can get. Can his social skills match his analytical brain?

    Quoted from frolic:

    Casting: too early to tell much, but appreciate that drug counselor lady who seems kind of nuts

    #667 10 months ago

    It's been a good season. I honestly have no idea who wins.

    #668 10 months ago

    such a disappointing season to me. maybe after watching the austraillian series, it just makes the US ones so boring

    #669 10 months ago

    This season was fairly forgettable, but not awful. I prefer to see more cut- throat behavior.

    There was too much loving each other, hugging and being "so proud of themselves" with how they've grown.

    Jeff fricking loves that shit.

    And SPOILER,

    Bold move by Heidi to volunteer herself to make fire and take out Carson. But it really seems like one's fate is already determined once its down to 3. She couldn't overcome how Yam Yam had already endeared himself to all the players.

    I thought Carolyn had the best back story and might've won for being underestimated.

    #670 10 months ago

    Seems like you can be weak & do next to nothing except for a real good social game. Time to leave that island for good!

    #671 10 months ago
    Quoted from greatwichjohn:

    To be fair, Yam Yam earned immunity doing the psychologically toughest physical challenge there is - suffering underneath a cage during a rising tide. He showed some grit in the game too.

    #672 10 months ago
    Quoted from RTS:

    To be fair, Yam Yam earned immunity doing the psychologically toughest physical challenge there is - suffering underneath a cage during a rising tide. He showed some grit in the game too.

    Yam Yam played an evolved version of the Adam Klein strategy--from a long way out, position yourself to be the second most likable person at the final four. That way there's an obvious threat for everyone at that stage, and you can waltz into final tribal council as the heavy favorite.

    He also had a great read on everyone's position in the game the entire time (excepting that last pre-merge vote where Carolyn and Josh worked together). He managed his threat level and did it all while making himself someone the jury would have no issues voting for.

    Too bad Carolyn didn't get a single vote to show for her efforts. She was a ton of fun this season. Loved the button on her breaking-the-fourth-wall confessional that started the season. She'll obviously be back.

    #673 10 months ago

    I did not see Yam Yam winning. I thought Heidi making the bold move to eliminate Carson was the winning move and deserved the win IMO. Caroline not getting any votes was just wrong too. O well, descent season.

    There was no way going into the final episode that Heidi was going to win. She was almost invisible in the edit until late in the season.

    Yeah doing nothing till the final episode aint getting it done.

    Overall a decent season. Not the bullshit of the last couple.

    Agree - below average imo. Expectations are low for US programming in general for us

    I don’t understand why they don’t run the Australian in America too. There are losing a lot imo.

    Quoted from Azmodeus:

    I don’t understand either except maybe the US franchise is afraid of getting shown up by the far superior AU show.

    I’d love to see a mixup of both shows somehow with both hosts etc.

    Are we seeing the end?

    #680 5 months ago

    Went from our favorite show, to barely watchable.

    #681 5 months ago

    I'm enjoying the longer format. It gives the editors a chance to focus on more of the social interactions and strategic aspects of the game.

    #682 5 months ago
    Quoted from Hayfarmer:

    I think I have heard this complaint for 43 seasons now.

    #683 5 months ago
    Quoted from AndHart120:

    No, just the last few seasons , more agenda focused rather than game focused.

    Quoted from Hayfarmer:

    I know what you are talking about….just needed to poke fun that every season someone says this! There was less of that last season comparatively to the others since 41. This season, episode 1 was cry fest and a quitter. Second episode was better. Hopefully it trends that way.

    #685 5 months ago

    It can only get better

    #686 5 months ago

    Alone has ruined watching survivor for me, just binge watched the last season A+ again. Great show.

    I don't think this season is the worst, that was the first season after the pandemic, this season the first 2 voted out were not really cut out to be outdoors.

    Liking this season so far…
    Not greatest hits by any means but way better than last few

    #691 4 months ago
    Quoted from Pdxmonkey:

    It's not bad, but I miss the really awful personalities from earlier years. I like to see the real arrogant assholes get their comeuppance.

    These players are borderline boring and forgettable. None that I care much about if they win or not. That's been the general trend in recent years.

    I still watch it though.

    #692 4 months ago

    I actually enjoy the modern game. I think you can see people understand it is a "game" when they applaud moves that lead to them getting voted out. I think the blindside concept has been overplayed but it really is still the only show that we make time to watch as a family on a weekly basis. Everything else is just DVR and watch whenever or wait for the entire season to conclude and binge.

    #693 4 months ago

    I saw the intro for Heroes vs Villains reposted, and wow... they don't have the ability to create casts like this anymore. Talk about a time when giants walked the earth.

    I don't know what has changed, specifically, whether it's the editing of characters, too many twists so that the personalities are muted, but it's unfortunate.

    #694 4 months ago

    After this week's episode, I'll say this is probably the best season and best cast of the new era.

    I want Bruce to stay in the game for as long as possible. He's great television and chaos.

    The auction was really well done. I loved all the new twists, from having to earn the money, to the unpredictable end, to removing comfort from the items (so that people weren't all just waiting for it).

    I always enjoy endurance challenges, and we just got them back to back.

    "Someone's playing Survivor" was a great quote and a great acknowledgement that there's some great game play going on, and that it was unknown to multiple people.

    #695 4 months ago

    Fun stuff for sure. I am watching but had to hold off on visiting the thread until I caught up.

    Auction was fun.

    #697 4 months ago

    I liked the money twist… that was really cool.
    Vote twist was okay.
    Advantage twist I didn’t like.

    Overall Australia runs a better auction house imo.

    That was a great episode. Hopefully Survivor will continue to be about the game and not about identity politics or virtue signaling of some of the post pandemic seasons.

    #699 4 months ago

    I think this season has been the weakest yet. 2 players that didn’t even want to be there anymore, thankfully gone, but cmon.

    #700 4 months ago
    Quoted from Lethal_Inc:

    I think this season has been the weakest yet. 2 players that didn’t even want to be there anymore, thankfully gone, but cmon.

    It would've been a great twist if they couldn't quit, but HAD to be voted out.

    And then have the remaining players keep them as pawns to bring to the final three.

    I know they voted the last guy who missed his boyfriend boo hoo, but they should've kept him in against his wishes.
