Fair enough. I just don't think the South African producers will be checking this tiny little forum I guess it's best to be safe

Just want to say that I've been Wiki watching and this sounds GLORIOUS, especially the second episode's TC. I only have a few more weeks until my summer starts so I can't wait to binge this out!

It’s sooooo good! Yeah the second tribal was the best one but the first one was great too. It’s really been great to watch so far

[Headie]

Just watching today's ep, Palesa is so iconic Have to make her my avi!

[Headie]

Forgot how annoying Tom is

Tom: "Can I trust you?"
Murischa: "Yes, I told you that last night"
Tom: "Say, I promise I can trust you Tom"
Murischa: "I don't follow orders, so... "

[Headie]

Screaming @ Jeanne on the monkey bars

[Headie]

Tevin is ****ing annoying too. PK needs to stop following him like a blind dog.

[Headie]

Palesa just walking up to collect her idol at tribal Love that the idol was hidden at tribal <3

[Headie]

Ep 5 elimination:

Spoiler:

Um BYE wtf @ Murischa getting voted out </3 That was all set up for an epic Chane blindside. Although her deciding she wasn't bothered about playing anymore was a bit random. Stacy already did that sis! Oh well at least Palesa still has her idol! Just wish she had voted Chane out instead of flipping on Muri for no reason

[starry]

I can't stand Tevin, I'd love it if he got blindsided at some point.

Actually I don't mind Tom, Palesa was the one who drew the line in the sand the previous episode. Tom came out pretty well this episode I thought, and I want to see a balanced edit. Happy with the one who got voted out ep5. I can't really take to Palesa.

[MB.]

Four episodes in and I'm loving this so far! I was about to say it feels like an old school Survivor season, but the swap into three tribes and the introduction of a third idol makes me realise I might have been a bit hasty in thinking that

Spoiler:

Ace </3 King of making his tribe go to rocks in the second episode to save the alliance he voted against in the first episode! King of digging a hole to China! King of setting up his own return in his final words!

[MB.]

Katinka: "Marthunis I caught three clams! "
Marthunis: "No offence, but if you died in the ocean your family wouldn't miss you"

[MB.]

Palesa

This season continues to deliver!

Mess I literally just came into this thread to post these exact words after watching the latest episode

It really is delivering every week

[MB.]

Spoiler:

Josie I mean, it's a wonder that she managed to survive so many episodes in the first place so I wasn't surprised to see her go, but she'd have been a nice addition to this already-great merge (at least, I assume so, and that this isn't a Palau-type situation in which Toni randomly and rather hilariously becomes this franchise's Stephanie LaGrossa)

Speaking of which, Toni's transformation into an OTT mess is much appreciated <3 PK deciding that Tribal Council would be the best platform to launch his brand new "let's vote out all of our allies at the merge" manifesto <3 The mere sight of Tom quite literally making Chané sick <3 Chané and Annalize spending the immunity challenge gossiping and telling each other how skinny they look <3

[starry]

Tom didn't make Chané sick, it will just have been her eating too much chocolate. Ironic as she was complaining Tom was eating too much. Not the best result this episode, I wish the merge had come this week.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Finally have some time to start this and the first ~6 minutes is the best bit of Survivor I've seen since Kaoh Rong.

Can't wait to catch up with this trainwreck fan fiction of a season

[MB.]

I found out today (well, via reading back through the thread on Clubs) that Seamus is apparently a neo-Nazi??? (or at least has a Wolfsangel tattoo, and as far as I'm aware that doesn't mean something different in South Africa to what it does in the rest of the world? Unless he's just a bit thick and always flunked History in school?)

On the bright side, I suppose me getting genuinely disappointed that someone in the cast might get a bit giddy over the Fourth Reich now and again is a sign of how strong this cast is, and that's not a sentence I ever expected to construct!

[MB.]

Oh and my rankings after episode 8 are something like the following:

Spoiler:

Palesa
Katinka
Annalize
Chané
Vusi
Jeanne
Toni (rise, sis, rise!)
PK
Werner
Tom

Josie
Marthunis
Ace
Seamus (if he's, y'know, actually a Nazi, this will change)
Stacey-Lee
Murischa
Tevin
Neil

[Macie Lightfoot]

I just finished episode 3 and want to say that I *love* Stacey-Lee. Something about her arc of "tribe hero bc she can start fire in <90 seconds" to "cocky beta to even cockier Jeanne () and being completely oblivious to everyone hating them" to "wants to quit for literally no discernible reason" just really clicks with me. I also loved the following exchange at TC which I'll paraphrase.

Nico: Stacey-Lee... our medical team cleared you. You have been cleared to play this game.
Stacey: Yeah they did but you know when your body can't take anymore :\
Nico: So you're going to let down your tribe? And your alliance?
Stacey: Yeah :\

[Headie]

Stacey-Lee <333

Spontaneous queen

[Macie Lightfoot]

Just finished episode 4 and even the production decisions are so good and refreshing? Like giving the third tribe a decked out camp was nice to see for once and it made the stakes of the Reward Challenge so much higher. Not to mention that it was nice to see that the new tribes weren't automatically assigned a beach and that they got to choose based on how they finished in the challenge.

Just watched episode 5 and while I'm not a huge fan of Tevin, his assessment of Marthunis as that one question on your exam that you couldn't prepare for because it's not in the textbook really is perfect.

Also, the Tom/Palesa frenemyship gives me life.
