Survivor: GENERAL THREAD
I wanted to post something Survivor related but realized there's no general thread about Survivor. Each thread is about a particular season or votes for hottest, best, etc.
Given that who knows when/if the show will come back, here's a general thread to post all things Survivor.
I won't ruin the OP with my content post, so it will come next.
Enjoy and come on in guys!
Pretty long and somewhat unflinching piece in New York Magazine about the current state of Survivor. Solid read; I'd recommend it.
Great rec. this passage is amazing:
Spoiler
Those contestants tend toward the extroverted and crybabyish — the most grating of them are a combination of every mean joke ever made about Gen Y, Gen Z, Gen TikTok, and Gen Influencer. They are not stoic. Rather, they start sobbing in the season premieres — they miss their families (I’m sorry — were they conscripted?), they didn’t think this would be so hard, they’re tired, they’re hungry — and they don’t let up. They have food allergies and anxiety disorders and other issues that surely would have excluded them in 2000. Sometimes they quit because, you know, who needs this ****?
Drew from s45 just soul crushed the returning 15 day champion on Jeopardy!
Damn i missed it but saw he was on tnite
Spoiler
Drew wins a FJ tiebreaker to become a 3 day champion.
I recently saw Kenzie on a youtube show. She had lipstick on and I was thinking 'why did she look better during the last few shows' then now? Is it the survivor diet that makes them look good or do they have make up crews on the island?
At least 30% of women make themselves look worse with the face paint
Finally started watching Drew on Jeopardy. That was one of the easier final jeopardy questions I've seen. Shocking miss.
Thought so too.
What was it?
Notable American Women: In her autobiography she tells of a rather "singular coincidence", that one of her Swiss ancestors was a teacher of the deaf

Sol has won 200,000 in poker tornies. I guess we can officially welcome him to the pre merge boot club if past performance of poker players is anything to go by!
That cast just looks annoying.
would I still be addicted to Survivor if there was no SURVIVOR SURVIVOR?
I hope I never have to find out.
My goal this season is to make the merge in SS.
Caroline looks like she packed on a little weight in her cheeks. Could be super cute two weeks in
Tony, Cirie and Parv confirmed to be playing on Australia v The World on Australian Survivor. Only a 14 day season but so many heavy hitters including the GOAT Rob B from SA, Lisa from NZ and Shonee, George and Kirby for Aus.

Just had a look at the full rumoured cast on reddit;
Feras not being on is a big shock especially with Kirby there, imagine he likely just turned it down and Jordie took that spot.
Cirie, Tony and Parv all feel very over exposed at the moment but I cant blame Au for booking the huge names when available.
Not watched Nz so cant comment on that but have seen all of SA and i'm very surprised they've gone Rob Bentele. Figured someone like Deeno or maybe Marian would be the lock over on that side but still a very nice surprise.
Survivor 47 is here! Are you ready!?!
No, Jeff.
Not that excited, still a bitter taste from last season just handing the million to the person that needed it the most
