Just finished Episode 9, what a great season this has turned out to be.
Rooting for Marion, Steffi, Palesa, Toni and Dante (probably in that order). I dunno if it's looking so great for Dante tho  I wasn't too upset seeing Pinty leave, chaotic and amazing TV but it was her time. |

Question. Do we move Australian Survivor into this thread?
I can’t believe it’s almost back again - it’s filming now. The next two seasons are Heroes vs Villains (October 2022) and Fans versus Favourites (July 2023). Basically that means returning players for BOTH Seasons they’re both being filmed in Samoa, I wonder if they’ll pull a BBUS and film back to back?I’ve seen a list of a few of the Returnees for HvV and it’s hands down WAY better than All-Stars. |

Wow. Those last two episodes were EPIC.
Never has Survivor been played like that before, amazing to watch something so new and refreshing. |

This season has been insanely good. The US and Aus editors need to take note tbh!!
I'm just hoping for some fireworks post merge and not Toni, Tejan, Dino and Phil being picked off one by one. |

Not Steffi now too
 Everything I want to happen, the reverse seems to happen. I need Dino/Phil/Tejan broken up and I need Marion and Meryl back on the same page as well. Steffi was my #2 pick after Marion, so I guess I’ll slot Meryl into that role. But I’m running out of people to root for, my favourites are all on the Jury |

This boot order in Jury is just AWFUL. But this season is so good.

My faves are all on the jury as well ugh 💔
I don't know how Meryl thought playing her tribal council pass like that was a good idea considering her position in the tribe Found Marian really unlikable in the last episode |

A top tier season and a really deserving winner. I thought the final tribal council was fantastic and very inspiring and moving. Dino was definitely who I was rooting for to win after Phil and Felix left. I sort of developed a crush on Phil as the season went on
 The season peaked pre-merge for me and went downhill since that annoying combined tribal council where Palesa got basically twist screwed. One of the best and most entertaining pre-merges across all franchises. But then all my faves got voted out one by one and sent to the jury I was rooting for the full package, what a shame they turned on each other so soon and got played so embarrassingly by the No BS alliance. I also started to really dislike Marian in the end. The way she treated Meryl after the Steffi vote was immature and gross. And the whole Goat tirade and calling so many people from this season and past seasons goats felt very self righteous and ugly. Her constant crying, the blow up she had at tribal grated on me. She had a good read on the game but she was also left out the loop a couple of times, and didn't position herself well for final 2 at all. She was useless when it came to camp and challenges so I don't think she's the amazing player she made herself out to be in the end. And I ended up liking her a lot less than her previous season. |

End of Survivor SA Season 9: Overall, what a successful season!
I really enjoyed the formatting of 4x a week, I really hope this is the format moving forward. Very bingeable. I did feel that pre-merge went WAY TOO FAST however. They could have thrown in a few extra or longer episodes like post-merge. And we all know how I felt about post-merge, I almost wanted the boot order completely reversed - Dante was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT about Dino, I wish his alliance would have listened. To me, Dino and Phil were very interchangeable at the end. Shane and Marion pretty much had the decision on who they wanted to give the $2MM cash prize to. I think the writing was on the wall, unless Shane or Marion won the F3 Immunity. Yes, Marion did become a bit of a drag towards the end, but such a strong story and she’s overcome so much. I was rooting for her at the end! Sensational season, Survivor SA has such a strong following now - I’m excited for more to come (and keep this format on delivery!!) |

Agreed. It’s been a bit of a slow burn to start off with. I like the longer episodes at the beginning of the season to really get to know the players, but the gameplay has been lacklustre so far.
I hate three tribes as well, my favourites are also so exposed and I can’t say the first two boots were overly satisfying. Loving: Ryan, Nneka Liking: Geo, Karla, Jesse Get Off My Screen: Gabler I’m not sold on Sami and Cody just yet. There’s still a lot of fodder left as well, I haven’t formed strong interest in a lot of this cast. |

Marian won Survivor SA Fan Favourite from last season. I wish we were watching another Survivor SA Season right about now tho. |

I’m struggling with this season, why do I need to watch 3 episodes of bead collecting.

That was the best episode this season by far, did Gabler just make some new Super Alliance?

I'm quite liking this season. So far the twists have improved on the mistakes of 41 and 42, I definitely preferred the bead collecting beware advantage over the random comments people had to say before a challenge, and the same with this merge over the hourglass twist from last year. I would've liked to see a couple more tribals go by before they merged though, but maybe not since that was one of the best merges in a while!

Gabler is Coach 2.0
I am however somewhat impressed, he formed a majority vote last tribal, and won the first Individual Immunity. Alright so this Knowledge of Power and the mini chaos it caused swapping everything around was cute (it reminded me of Nakomis figuring out the 6-Finger Plan on Big Brother) but something I never need to see again, retire this power immediately. I wasn’t upset with any of the names on the chopping block tonight, however, that immunity challenge heavily bloated the episode. I also agree, there should have been a few more votes before merge. |

Awful season. Jeff Probst is ruining US Survivor. It doesn't feel authentic any more. I don't wanna watch an hour of forced sob stories. Planting an advantage in a water well to stage "chaos"? Really?
How is being teamed up with someone else an individual immunity challenge? It's a shit show this season imo. Bring back the drama, entertaining casts and natural game play x |
