Eh, its been hit or miss. I hated last season. Way too many forced gimmicks. And whatever season Ben won was kinda crappy. The blue collar/white collar season from a couple years back might have had the worst cast ever. I hated damn near everyone

Im more with you on this.

Dom and Wendell were amazing players so that was satisfying but much of that cast didn’t come to play.

S35 was very meh too me.

This season was phenomenal. Top 5ish season ever. Amazing cast. Right there with Cagayan(Tony first season) as the best newbie cast they have assembled. So many great players and moments.

Still overboard on the advantages(cmon Jeff) but at least this cast made them enjoyable.

Yeah it was brutal.

Just an awful decision to try and be relevant imo when we are trying to watch reality tv to escape and be entertained.

A handful of people did/said a lot of stupid shit but this went over the top. Basically ruined like 5 peoples lives lmao.

Probst is the one who should offer an apology. The way he just kept forcing the issue at the tribal was disgusting. And then he snaps at the guy.

I watched. It was dumb. Some said they were just "playing the game" but could have ruined his career.

I'm not sure we got to see everything, because the show can be edited to such a degree.
Aside from the actual events that occurred, I'm wondering how this will play out for the rest of the game.

You'll probably have Janet, Jamal, and Kellee on the jury.
If Missy or Elizabeth make it to the end, how do they secure their votes?

I'm wondering if the weakest player that makes it to the end might win, out of spite for the other two sitting next to them.

Yeah that’s why I hated it. It was manipulated and edited too much.

I’m pretty certain Tommy wins.

I’d say Dean is a good bet for the final tribal as well

I think players like Tommy, Dean, Missy, Aaron will all be perceived as immunity challenge threats and be voted off by the weaker players.

Would it be a good/bad idea to take Dan to the finale?
Folks might think there's no shot he would have a chance to win.

Im sure we didnt but what we do know is things were exaggerated by players to get someone voted out. The problem is these things can have a large impact on that persons life after. Those kind of "players" should be removed.

I agree that Tommy should be a threat. But I pay attention to the editing. I’m pretty hardcore. And based off that I see him as the clear cut front runner right now. With many of the final 11 being ruled out completely.

Dan at this point would be a great one to drag to the end. Even without the scandal he hasn’t had much gameplay.

I think Karishma could be dangerous.
Align the girls to vote off the physical male threats, in which they could pull in Janet to do that.
Then vote out Missy as soon as she doesn't win immunity.

That would leave Lauren, Elizabeth, Janet, Karishma, Noura, and Elaine.

Love the show. Haven’t enjoyed this season much but it has seemed to catch some steam the last two weeks IMO. I was pulling for Missy and might still. Her and Elizabeth are taking a beating on Twitter right now and perhaps they should. But to me Kellie was the one most disturbed by Dan, but as bad as she seemed to make it look , she was gunning for Missy. I know things changed and she went back to voting Dan. Tommy seems to have a connection and an alliance with everyone.

The Jamal Island of Idols - I liked Jamaal but I think I could have come up with something better to write on that sheet of paper.

Not a fan of that twist.

Lol, wtf! That slimeball Dan did it AGAIN, after a warning and got pulled from the show. Survivor handled this about as badly as you could handle it.

This season sucks. I miss when the show was simply about winning, not all of these people with some tragic backstory out there to discover themselves.

Guy probably shoulda been booted about 30 days earlier.

But based off what I am reading is the reason he finally was booted, it was a ridiculous reason.

I think I watched it up until the Boston Rob All-Star season and then I haven’t cared much since.
