American Survivor is back!
Good casting again, I love all the super fans that now get the opportunity to play. Done with the days of hunting people to play this game.

That first episode was a lot tho. I like that it was two hours obviously and we got a lot of content and player development, perhaps one too many stories? I felt at times I was lacking SURVIVOR.
I do however love the connectivity between Season 41 and Season 42. I'd love to see more of the same challenges. It was interesting to see the decision of the two losing tribes doing the puzzle. Both tribes last year chose the physical task, didn't they?

Some left a good impression after the first episode, others didn't leave a mark at all.

Loving: Drea, Jenny, Maryanne, Swati

I did feel back for Jackson and I appreciate him sharing his story, I hope he gets another chance to play.
Jeez, Daniel didn't have very good luck either hey. Popping his shoulder out the first challenge. I think that's going to be a long term liability for him, it looks like his shoulder popped out again at the Immunity Challenge?
I would absolutely climb Jonathan like a tree.

Absolutely not upset Zach went first at all.

Also following a Survivor ORG Organizer on Twitter.
I heard Nicole Capper has been playing a few big ones and she gets voted out first everytime laugh.gif

I used to do ORGs when I was like... 16/17 so almost 20 years ago. Dear god. I don't think I'd have it in me to put myself in that situation again laugh.gif

That first episode of Survivor 42 was pretty good! They've done a great job with the casting again. Tori is literally a Katinka doppelganger laugh.gif

Tori was giving me Angelina Keeley energy cheeseblock.png My favorite quote from her being when she targeted Rocksroy: "He already built our camp, we don't need him anymore!" Hope she sticks around.

The premiere was good enough, they just don't excite me as much as they used to. All those introductions are a bit much for me but obviously it's nice to get to know everyone. Not sure how I feel yet about how similar this season will be to 41. Also, it seems like the most unathletic cast they've ever had??

Yeah, I think they changed it just subtly to make the puzzle more appealing (allowing 2 guesses instead of 1) and the physical one less appealing. I'm kind of amazed both tribes got the puzzle right, but it helps having 4 hours to complete it laugh.gif

Well wasn’t that an episode full of Survivor firsts.
As much as I liked Jenny, these silly twists are landing a lot better this year.

Agreed! That episode had me on the edge of my seat a bit. Chanelle dug herself a hole there. I'm impressed how Haai clicked on the blindside at tribal and then manage to sway the vote and majority his way.

I am loving this season cheer.gif cheer.gif

I hope Chaos Tori can survive a couple more votes. I screamed when she won immunity and then told Jonathan that he must go bc she wants to win more tearsmile.gif

I have to agree, this season has been sublime.
The twists have landed much better this season, and I was absolutely for that 2-Hour Episode, good development of a lot of players and of course, the twist that turned everything upside down.

Going into Jury, my list I suppose. But so fluid:

01 Hai
02 Jonathan
03 Tori
04 Omar
05 Drea
06 Lindsay
07 Maryanne
08 Chanelle
09 Rocksroy
10 Romeo
11 Mike

Great episode, probably my second favorite behind the one where Jenny went home. Very glad Jonathan and Tori survived the hourglass twist!

Outstanding week for Omar, I started getting winner vibes from Hai too.

I'm actually finding myself rewatching the episodes this season which I never do.

So many great characters and I'm living for Tori winning clutch immunities back to back. I'm worried for her next episode though with the double elimination - hopefully that twist will shake the majority up a bit, and it's not an easy double boot of Tori/Romeo. If Tori doesn't win immunity, I'm certain she throws Drea under the bus to everyone laugh.gif

That second tribal cry.gif
I was disappointed Tori went home, defiantly not upset Rocksroy went however.
Survivor Facebook is an absolute DUMPSTER FIRE. But yeah, I was blown away with that tribal.

Drea and Hai for F2 for me.

01 Hai
02 Drea
03 Omar
04 Maryanne
05 Jonathan
06 Lindsay
07 Romeo
08 Mike

That second tribal was v touching. Drea and Maryanne were really brave and inspiring. I was wondering why we were halfway through the episode and tribal already started. The shot in the dark remains useless to date.

WOW.
Both twists played out exactly the same, I think it landed very well this year as well. I loooove this. They should film seasons like this back to back more often.

Sad to see Drea go! Loved her. Rooting for Lindsay now. I can see either her or Omar winning, maybe Mike.

You'd think it'd be terrible to watch two twists backfire two seasons in a row, but that was incredible! laugh.gif That whole tribal was amazing. Loving the amount of respect for each other's gameplay. Can't wait to find out if Omar will escape another vote or finally be targeted!

Amazing how the 2 at the bottom and the supposed "goats" managed to get Omar out even without Mike and Jonathan laugh.gif

P H E W. Last night was a lot. Hugely emotional, I'm so sad this season is over. What they accomplished in the span of 13 Episodes was beyond phenomenal.
This easily lands in the top tier of Survivor seasons, and by far was the best season we have had in a decade. By far the best season in the last 20 years, if not longer.
For me personally, probably will end up landing in my top 5-10 of any RTV Season ever (joining Masterchef Australia: Back To Win, Big Brother 3 ect.)

The fact that my Top 3 that I posted a few weeks back went back to back to back and I'm still so happy with the outcome is a testament to how strong of a season this was. Survivor has always had very fluid gameplay, but this season was on another level. CBS is leading the charge with RTV Diversity. It feels over the last few years they've found their groove again and this could absolutely be their peak.

The fact we haven't had a Black Female Winner since SEASON 4 is a crime. Mary-Ann's win is absolutely historic, deserved, emotional. I cried all last night and was so happy she won.
Yesterday was also my 35th Birthday. But sharing a birthday with when a historic winner like Maryann is something I will never forget.

The fact we're moving to Season 43 and we are still getting some of the best seasons ever, with the Survivor franchise succeeding globally, shook.
