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.

:clap: :clap:

 

All of this! Incredible season. I cried too. I was so gutted for Lindsay to go out like that but Maryanne is such a great character and really deserved it as well! She really brought it at the final tribal. So impressive for someone so young. Romeo also, really touching and inspiring. The cast was the best in ages. I would have been a bit meh with a Mike win so Maryanne winning like that made season even more rewarding!

Omg Toni follows me on Instagram now. I love her *.*

 

Yaaaaaasss for so many villains, and Steffi, Shona and Tanya are all hilarious. Hype! Wow I didn't realize Marian was fighting vitiligo now :(

Wow, very interesting selections there but I'm totally here for it. (Especially Ben who I admit is one of my faves :kink:). The Survivor list seems to skew much older than the others, none of them are in their 20s! I almost didn't recognize Sarah :o

 

HYPE :w00t:

Rooting for her :heart:

Just caught up on the cast interview clips and so excited for this *.* The post merge tribe is stacked with challenge beasts

Survivor SA finally starting on Monday! It's gonna be interesting with 4 episodes a week

 

 

My regular spot has yet to post Episode 1 yet - hoping to watch this soon as I’m excited!!

I watched the premiere live on TV and it felt like it was more adverts than actual survivor. Definitely watching on catch up next time!

 

Lots of interesting dynamics already. I think the pre merge tribe is wide open in terms of alliances, where as post merge tribe there's already a bit of a line in the sand, but I can't see them going to tribal much anyway. That outpost twist is quite a complex one! Will be interesting to see what happens

Episode 2 whew! You can always count on Survivor SA for bringing the drama at tribal.

 

Dante is looking FIT :kink:

 

Pinty losing it already :rofl:

Just finished Episode 1 (still waiting for Episode 2).

What an amazing start! They've all come to play this season and have learned from their previous mistakes. This is bound to be incredible.

 

I do like they've split the tribes Pre Merge vs Post Merge. It really gives an opportunity for the Pre-Merge Survivors to stand out - because I'll be honest I didn't remember a lot of them :lol:

 

Yes - omg. Dante and Chappies in the tightest imaginable bottoms forming an alliance together. *.* - all the men this year are hot tho (still SA Season 7 is the best).

I particularly like the division on the Masu (Post Merge) tribe and the alliances formed. I love everyone but I'm kind hoping the Steffi alliance dominates.

 

Fantastic start. Simply amazing. I appreciate the pace and the dedication they're giving to this season. I just hope I can start getting the episodes a bit quicker. This will be fantastic to catch up on the weekend too.

WOW. Is all I can say. They really picked an amazing cast for this. The amount of drama already :lol: What a season this is shaping up to be :cheeseblock:

Omg THE DRAMA in this Survivor SA :cheeseblock: More drama than BBUK golden days. Casting literally chose violence with this line up and I love it.

 

Monday is too far away tbh!

I just finished Episode 3!

Disappointed Chappies was out first, but the target on his back was way too big. I think Dante will regret that move.. he's now the biggest Male threat in the game.

 

Loved Episode 3. Great drama. I'm surprised the Post-Merge Tribe (Masu) have lost two in a row, but I'm happy to see it really.

Top 2 Masu: Marian, Steffi

Top 2 Yontau: Tania, Pinty

 

Living for the Tania/Pinty drama, because they've won two in a row we haven't seen much outside of Tevin as well.

Marian is the superstar so far for me this season, she doesn't even need the title, she's already a Survivor. I was so disappointed to see she was upset by the conversation Toni/Steffi had about her being weak because of her Vitiligo. She's one of the strongest ones out there. I hope they can rebuild a relationship because I really like Marian, Steffi and Toni!

 

Can't wait for Episode 4. I guess I'll just be a day behind!

Rooting for Marian so hard tho :heart: :heart: :heart:

One of the best seasons ever honestly! I'm so shook at the drama and big moves each episode

 

This bit had me in stitches :rofl:

@1551969872271360000

Episode 5 was out of this world, hang it in the louvre!

Episode 7

 

 

That challenge was A CHOICE. Shona's injury looked like something out of a horror movie and looks like she's medevaced now as well 😭😭😭

 

Episode 8

 

 

WTF Phil snaking Shona like that after everything she went through. Not sure what his thought process was behind that as his alliance would have had a solid majority with Palesa on board. At the same time, Shona dug her own grave by choosing that tribe and not pulling out the fake idol at tribal.
