Survivor

When Jeff showed up I was certain the tranny had killed her dad and police just found the body.

Yeah I skipped last season so have/had no concept of the format changes. So far it is pretty bad but most seasons are filler up to the merge anyways (with some exceptions). These people so far range from forgetful to aggressively annoying.

Dislike the constant use of B roll and slow motion during all their sob stories. Everyone gets a sob story. Pause the show for the tranny’s life story and struggles, pause the show for the lady whose brother was a nurse and died of COVID, pause the show for the Muslim to tell his story. All complete with fade-in/fade-out and family photo overlays and crying and hugging. It is just over produced too much.

I do like the going back to losing flint and trimming back of food / supplies. That seems like good job making it more old school.

The new idol, shot in the dark, whatever rules are a little over complicated. Couldn’t make heads or tails of “Three people have to say this phrase and you get +1 vote, but if the rooster cries at midnight and last drinks merlot from a man’s bowler, your votes don’t count.” Seems like a good idea run amok. The “bad” idol thing would have been cool and make running off to find hidden immunity idols more risky, never knowing what you’d pickup. The game got stale when every episode was about oeiple finding new idols. They just need to work these rules out and pare it back maybe.

First episode was lulz though with who went home 1st. So won’t spoiler that for now. We’ll probably forget to watch and catch up. Maybe remember a night nothing is going on. Strange that Beyond the Edge comes on at the same time. Seems like it’d make more sense for CBS to stagger the survival shows how Fox staggers Godon’s cooking shows. Maybe they figure Survivor is a good lead in for viewers. With any luck we’ll see Ray Lewis kill someone.

lol, I thought Jeff already solved racism with the prior "all-black alliance" season when he cured trannys and phags with the "cum in whoever identifies as people" instead of "come on in guys" schtick.

Wonderful idea with the open vote though, anyone who doesn't vote for evil whitey causes a massive chimp-out.

At least with all-black seasons the juries will be lit, ponderosa will need to beef up security.

Lol thanks for playing your idol. We’ll just vote you out next week and now it will be because you’re black.

Who knows how the whole conversation played out. Probst, at any time, could have pointed out exactly what you mention. He also could point out the 4 black winners in 40 seasons and how that’s almost exactly on par with population statistics. Not to mention the Asians, Latin American, Women, and others that have won. He could have also pointed out that there are more minorities and blacks in this season so statistically they could have back-to-back eliminations.

But they wanted to make a point and have a pity party in front of everyone. Be interesting to see what happens at the start of next episode and then the finale. I’ll probably eat clear broth before watching as to not stain the floor and furniture.

Survivor now 0-2 on joggers-steal-your-idols scam, next season will just be a dagger wrapped in a note saying, "Do what you do best."

That was a satisfying episode, as soon as he started whining that he can't vote I was thinking "You've got your hat, just start lamenting that it needs accoutrements."
