Survivor

Yup Excellent stuff. Took about 6 episodes for him to emerge as a player(still have no idea why) but he became excellent Tv really quickly. The editors went 0 to 100 with him.

I see that trend with this show as a whole. I think it is a side effect of the larger casts that they go with. The first 3-4 episodes are concentrated on early exits and major players. Side players or late bloomers don’t get introduced until about mid-season

Shone is a really stupid player. And the show hardly focused on her HUGE error. If she stole Steve’s vote instead, the play would have worked. Stealing Sharns vote sabotaged the entire play for the revote.

Yeah it definitely is a pretty common trend. That one was just more extremem though because their tribe went to tribal a lot early and only visibility was in group convos. THen around ep 7 or 8 it turned into 12 confessionals an episode ha. Would love to see play again though

I think that blunder is on everyone. Not one person thought about that. Rattled me too. Its mind blowing that people dont realize how to work the steal a vote. You never, ever can vote for the person whose vote you are taking. Mental

I remember in US when FIshbach botched it too by voting for 2 different people I think.

It happened in this most recent US season, I think. The “stealer” split their vote.

bunch of IDIOTS. They are arguing about doing a split, but Brian doesn’t want to (so some unknown reason). He just wants to blow Sharn away. So what do the airhead sisters do? They plan on a split, relying on Brian voting against his interests.

This is why idiots shouldn’t be allowed to breath.

Ha that one was completely on him, just a mental game decision. Zero logic behind it at all.

Spoiler

the split, as planned, was Shonne and Fennela voting for Sharn with Brian and Monika voting for Shane. And Brian had been arguing for everyone voting Sharn. The simple logical split would be to have Brian and (someone) vote Sharn and the other two vote Shane. The alliance put Brian in a position where he could screw them over. And that was completely unnecessary.

Great cast, but some of the gameplay is beyond questionable.

And what is with all these whacked names?

Fennela?
Sharn?
Shonne?
Moana?

Ah yeah they coulda split the other way forgot about that. But still he was such a moron there himself. That vote was about as by the book as they get, and he tossed the book out

Share your thoughts as you go. Just use spoilers so others can watch as well

I probably won’t post any spoilers beyond the obligatory “saw that one coming a mile away”… I’ll just say that after 2 episodes of Season 1, I’m in. It’s Survivor.

100% agree. The only thing different is the accents. The production value and basic game play is the same. Bigger cast changes things a bit, but maybe in a good way.

They have a very cute and cuddly slang.

Lollies
Besties
Margies
Mates (US may be the only English speaking country that doesn’t use this word, actually)
Footy

My dad’s uncle was stationed there in WWII. When the war ended he stayed. Got to meet him in the late 70’s when he came here to visit and i was on leave. One of the coolest conversations I’ve ever had. Wish I could have made it over there when I was younger.

Spoiler: S3 Finale

the editing is HORRIBLE. Either that or Sharn is truly the worst coffee maker in the history of baristas. They made her look like a blithering idiot.

I actually watched an episode of naked and afraid, because I thought the chick was hot. Hook bitten. And no, not a single person watches that show for survival tips.
