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 don't think its that ridiculous. What I saw said he touched a female crew member on the leg in a boat ride after one of the challenges. He claimed it was accidental but she felt uncomfortable enough to report it, some crew saw it and so did one contestant so I doubt it was just some kind of grazing.

What I read though made it sound like the contestant that saw it, was more on Dan's side. Like they didn't think anything of it.

Now in completely unsubstantiated news...Jeff Varner really sounded off on the situation. Quite the meltdown and hes not exactly a reliable source himself. But his tweets were pretty entertaining to read regardless if they were true or not haha.

Dream to go on tv game show for fame and fortune and instead exit in disgrace with a national reputation as a creepy molester... :dhd:

This whole season may be the shark moment for this show. Looks like they totally railroaded this guy so they could get involved in the whole metoo thing.

I'm just looking forward to next weeks promo for S40. I cannot wait for that.

Season 40 is going to be crazy with all 20 as previous winners.

Rob and Amber are going to have huge targets on their back, though, right? A married couple? Seriously? They gotta get ousted immediately.

I was on the fence about not even watching anymore, but next season should be good. All former winners, no bullshit sob stories or I just want to find myself people? Cool.

Its always disappointing when the most deserving player doesn't win and it goes to someone who sucked up to everyone on the jury during the season.
Further, all this nonsense about being on the cutting edge of social justice just sickened me. Listening to that whining fool who complained about Dan touching her but didn't have the balls to tell him to stop was ludicrous. I have zero sympathy for a person like her who was under no pressure from a man in a powerful position like many women who suffer harassment.
This woman had everyone around, the entire Survivor staff, so she had nothing to stop her from telling the dude "Don't fucking touch me again". That would have ended it. As for those two stupid bitches who made shit up about Dan to further their position in the game; Fuck them.
The "Do Rag" thing? good lord, give me a break.

Overall definitely.

But they could survive early. Connections are huge. And threats want to use each other.

Rob, Amber, Sandra, Kim, Tony, Tyson, Jeremy are a very close crew outside the game right there.

I would be SHOCKED if Sandra even makes it to merge. Once one of Romber is out, the other no longer has a major target.

I read online that he's dating Elizabeth, who also chose not to return probably due to the backlash she got on how she handled the Kellee/Dan stuff. So the thinking is Jack also skipped since she did

Jack and Elizabeth ? Wow. I was wanting to see Missy. They never showed a close up of her during the reunion.


As far as S40 - They should let Ozzie play just because. Lol. My man volunteered to go to exile island just so he could eliminate people.

Some guy who runs a very popular survivor page had a contest back when the cast was first announced(before they started filming so not to risk spoilers)

You picked any 4 players, and there is a point system based on how they do.

I chose Nick, Tyson, Kim and Michelle. I think those 4 could do really well.

1 week!!

Also, I highly suggest you all give the Australian version a try. It’s so good.

How does it differ?

I saw that a few eps were available on YouTube (I think it was YouTube) a while back. Watched about a half episode when I decided I just didn’t want to get pulled in.

It's main difference is that its bigger/longer. Which is a massive plus side but also a con if you don't have as much time to invest

-Each season has 24 players. Every episode(without commercials) is 50 minutes at its shortest. Most are over an hour. Some as much as 1 hr 20 min.

Theres close to 30 episodes each season compared to 15 US with longer episodes as well. But that makes for WAY more content. It's on 3 days per week tho, so if you're live viewing its actually a shorter season in time span.

Otherwise its very similar.Less gimicky than Probst survivor. The host is also awesome. The challenges are way more physical.

Theres been 4 seasons so far. All above average. S2 is one of the best ever. S4 was also amazing and S5 just started airing its All Star season this week(off to great start)

It does a great job with its casting as well.
