Mother Dee :cheeseblock: :party2:

 

This was a great season (apart from the quits). I was convinced Dee would be out at final 5 - thanks goodness Katura switched her vote or that would have been an underwhelming final 3 without her. Belo were such a train WRECK - Bruce, Jake, Kendra, Katurah - casting did their thing :rofl:

 

Surprised Austin got that many votes although Dee didn't have the best final tribal council responses. She straight up offended Bruce LOL

New Cast! The premiere episode has also been moved up a week to Monday Jan 29th!

Edited January 22, 20241 yr by Aaron.

So the first two episodes have aired, with episode 3 tomorrow

I struggled with Episode 1. Felt bloated and so much going on but so much information repeated over and over.

Episode 2 however was great!

 

I’m liking: Mark, Valeria

Nice to look at: Nathan

 

I do like Viola, but her and Valeria together is… too much of a target and they’ll probably get separated soon.

I've caught up and what kind of comedic chaotic trainwreck it's been since the tribe swap. So good to watch though. That vote read from Caroline, I was shook.

 

One thing that bothered me was Caroline and Kitty changing their pronunciations of Viola's name which felt microaggresive

 

Rooting for the Russian wolf Valeria

This season has been sooooo camp and extra, I'm living!

I however detest all the strong women being voted out. I really liked Frankie, Peta and Viola. Although, Frankie and Peta did play quite poorly.

I can see they are trying to play on the successes of last year, you can basically narrate this entire season to fit in with what happened LAST season.

 

Just replace George with Faras (or potentially Mark if Faras is out early). Replace Liz with Valeria.

Even the last episode with Sarah felt a bit like when George had the numbers and started socially isolating people and planting seeds (this is not meant to be a criticism - I loved last season!)

 

Mark and Faras are going to jockey for that lead position.

I love Feras owning the Villian hat. He came to play. He's probably the standout so far this season for me.

Mark as well I see as a strong player, however, I'm surprised his little group turned on him so early. It will be interesting to see if he can play from the bottom.

Alex however is doing an exceptional job playing from the bottom - I'm impressed.

 

Aileen seems to pop up every once and a while, I like her but need to see more. #IToldYou

Caroline ABSOLUTELY SERVED with that "I've delivered thousands of babies, but I'm ready to deliver my first blindside." MOTHER

Eden I do like, I wish he was working more closely with Mark. I actually think Eden probably has what it takes to outlast Mark and be the strategically dominant male this season (later in the game).

Jaden is just completely useless, I don't even see him getting voted out anytime soon.

Kelli is bonkers, but I'm still not sold so I would be okay if she left soon.

Kirby I adore, I was rooting for her, but completely over-edited. She seems unwilling to compromise, her ego is too big and she's losing steam in my eyes. I wish some of the edit Feras was getting would sprinkle onto Kirby. They seem hellbent this season to make the women look terrible, but the men get a more positive edit.

Valeria is high up on my list as well, I need her to get revenge for Viola. I need blood.

 

This season so far - FANTASTIC. So meaty. Pre-Merge has been amazing. Very fluid season so far. Loving this!

Survivor AU: an interesting week, more of a filler week before Merge with a few twists. Charles’ leaving was an EXCEPTIONALLY good Tribal Counsel. I’m happy Kelli is finally gone, but it happened just as I was warming up to her messiness and becoming anti-Kirby. I also don’t understand why Feras didn’t pull in Kelli, Aileen and Alex with Raymond because he would have had Majority.

 

Survivor US: Probst confirmed no returning players until at least Season 48 which makes zero sense to me. We need a themed season and that theme should be HvV, Blood v Water, Second Chances ect. Save 50 for another All Stars/Winners Season. But there are too many amazing players that deserve another shot SOON!

The AU cast is so good this season ! So entertaining. Merge is gonna be spicy I fear!

 

I kinda felt bad for Charles who got basically twist screwed. But anything to save legend Aileen! I cried when she won that clutch immunity 😭

This season is giving Gabon levels of mess and entertainment. People are unhinged and I LOVE it. Kitty's 8 figures rant, Caroline's breakdown about not wanting to sleep next to Mark, Kelly's "I'm a PYSCHOLOGIST!", Valeria dragging everyone for filth to their face, Caroline and Valeria fighting over a jacket :cheeseblock:

I was disappointed with that Merge episode being ruined by the quitter, but the episode today was right on par!

I agree, I love the messiness. I was also happy that Winna/Winner/Winnr went over Caroline, she is absolutely UNHINGED. I love her and I need her to stay.

 

Kitty as well, what a serve. Next episode looks like Valeria is on the hot seat but obviously this can shift quickly. But there are a few I need to stay around for the messiness (Caroline, Kitty).

Except for on the journey when she folded her arms and told the boys to tell the truth. That was Mom with a Capital M. Probably my favourite moment of the night. Love her already.

Australian Survivor: I mean Raymond didn't have to use that Advantage at all. He was in an absolutely fine position and at no risk of going home. I understand wanting to make a Resume-making move, but to start playing Survivor on Day 36 isn't a great look and does nothing for him at all.

Are purple tribes cursed now?? First Tika and now Yanu. Very fun to watch though!

 

I'm starting to like this cast. Rooting for the yellow tribe, but I'm curious to see what happens between Soda and Venus (plus Hunter's an early fave).

Survivor Australia: what a messy week, but I've loved this week and I don't want this season to end!

Alex left at just the right time, not quite sure what got into his head there. He blew up his own game, and the games of a few others.

Obviously now Kirby has her foot on the pedal, I think she's toast the second she loses immunity - but it's been nice seeing her play from a vulnerable place for a change.

I like Caroline's confidence but that was HILARIOUS. That move did not land at all :lol:

Survivor AU: awe I'm so sad, there are only 2-episodes left!

This season has been a masterpiece, although it wasn't as good as last season, it's high on the Survivor AU list that's for sure.

 

I'm a bit disappointed Kirby only placed 5th - she deserved higher. She's fodder for the next Returning Season/Spot. A female David really, I think she would probably win her next season.

 

Of the Final 4 I'm just rooting for Feras to win.

Second I'd place Caroline. She had an incredible pre-Merge but it's been radio silence ever since.

Third I'd put Mark. I like him, but the Resume was never there.

Raymond nope.

 

Feras needs to play hard at Final 4 (and 3? I'm not clear if it's F2 or F3 this season). I would DIE if Feras was out 4th.

I kept getting spoilers via the jury villa videos on YouTube :cry: Rooting for Ferras although his game has been messy, he's had great reads on people, loyal allies, and agency throughout which can't be said for Mark or Caroline. If he doesn't win the final challenge he's definitely out though

I was just surprised that Feras had no votes at Final 4??? They were crazy to not just get him out.

But yeah, do or die! I really hope Feras wins, but Mark is playing a reasonably better game in the last few episodes. If Feras is 3rd I’d want Mark to win.

:cheer: :cheer: FERAS!!

Let's be honest tho that final tribal counsel was abysmal :lol:

 

Caroline trying to claim moves Pre-Jury, and her biggest move Post-Jury was NOT using an idol correctly? :lol:

At least Kirby lobed Feras a game-winning question, but, even without that I think he still would have won.

 

RANKING OF THE JURORS AND F2:

 

01: Kirby

02: Feras

03: Mark

04: Caroline

05: Kitty

06: Rianna

07: Valeria

08: Alex

09: Raymond

10: Aileen

11: Jaden
