14 eps, not including the reunion

TomC
15-09-2016, 09:32 PM
So literally there are thirteen episodes and then a ninety minute finale?

I was hoping I was closer to the end lol

TomC
15-09-2016, 09:39 PM
That was such a strange episode :joker: Such a bizarre twist, as surely the returnees are unlikely to have any traction in the game?

Anyway, I am struggling for favourites in this... I like Jon and Rupert cos of their messiness as characters, and I also think Sandra and Christa are likable.

Christa and Rupert <3

And Lillian and Fairplay for the entertainment they brought

TomC

YES Lil is back! <3

I did warn you

I did warn you

I know, but I had no idea what you meant (until the very moment it was revealed people were returning :joker:)

TomC
16-09-2016, 12:54 PM
I don't understand why Burton and Lil are competing, I thought they had automatic immunity from the first TC?

TomC
18-09-2016, 09:06 PM
I am quite happy Rupert went tbh, I'd grown tired of him. I really couldn't stand his arrogance at times. Ok his final confessional was quite sad though.

I really am beginning to really like Jonny Fairplay, he is just TV gold.

Next one looks like a bit of a corker, I hope Jon doesn't leave though?

Just a shame next week's episode is so unmemorable and uneventful

I'm not lying

TomC
18-09-2016, 09:24 PM
FFS I need to have an early night :(

I will watch it tomorrow night.

I just want to reiterate how much I'm looking forward to All-Stars. I know it's rubbishy apparently, I'm just so intrigued to see what it's like.

18-09-2016, 09:25 PM
MB sometimes lies but sometimes he tells the truth.

Rupert :love: his boot episode is all-time though (but so is just about every episode this season lol), the imagery of the snake crushing the lizard's neck and eating it whole gives me the chills every time. The foreshadowing and symbolism was at an all time high that episode.

Jack_
18-09-2016, 09:26 PM
I felt the same regarding All Stars, I have a bit of a penchant for them :laugh:

I liked it more than I thought I would because of the criticism but it's not amazing by any stretch of the imagination and there's a lot of negatives, both metaphorically and literally.

TomC
18-09-2016, 09:29 PM
Oh oops, so Ep11 really is bad? It didn't look it.

MB.

Ep11 is one grand mother of an episode

TomC
18-09-2016, 09:34 PM
Ep11 is one grand mother of an episode

Tbh most of the Pearl Islands episodes have been very eventful, compared to say Australia (which, on reflection is possible my second least favourite out of the first seven?)

TomC

Is it Jon the snake and Rupert the lizard? Haven't seen the season for years but just a guess

TomC
19-09-2016, 08:02 PM
Poor Christa taking the blame :(

TomC
19-09-2016, 08:06 PM
Poor Jon with his grandma dying :(

MB.
19-09-2016, 08:06 PM
Yeah the poor guy

Omg Jonny :shocked:

One of only three times I've ever literally had my jaw hit the floor when watching a TV show

Did it hurt when your jaw literally hit the floor?

(sorry)

MB.
19-09-2016, 08:25 PM
I think my favourite part was that production called home to give their condolences and his grandma answered the phone

TomC
19-09-2016, 08:29 PM
darrah has to be one of the most irrelevant castaways of all time, and that really says something

MB.
19-09-2016, 08:29 PM
Darrah <3 <3

TomC
19-09-2016, 08:34 PM
You can just see Jeff's disgust with Jon

Macie Lightfoot
19-09-2016, 08:48 PM
One of only three times I've ever literally had my jaw hit the floor when watching a TV show

what were the other two hun...x

TomC
19-09-2016, 08:51 PM
Lol I love how Darrah at F6 is like 'people are tryna sway votes, I'm just gonna let people come up to me and see what i can do'.

Yes, because that worked so well for Christy.

TomC
19-09-2016, 08:52 PM
Also, I can't believe Helen Glover has never returned :( She was definitely one of my favourites so far.

Yes, because that worked so well for Christy.

being the swing is a really good position to be in though. It just didn't work for Christy because she has absolutely no social tact and got super cocky and literally proudly declared herself as in the driver's seat. She was so off-putting she blew it for herself :love:

This is true I guess. Christy <3 Lmao at her saying at tribal council 'I am in complete control of who goes tonight' when everyone else bar Butch knew full well she was outta there :joker:

Ugh the complex game play is sooo hard to keep up with this season

Jack_

Two separate scenes on House of Cards :laugh: anyone who watches should know which ones I mean

MB.
19-09-2016, 10:19 PM
(I know I said I loved Darrah, but by the same logic, Carter is in my top three of Philippines so maybe I'm not the guy to ask)

Ugh the complex game play is sooo hard to keep up with this season

Then Cambodia will be an... interesting experience for you (which is more than the rest of us can say for it)

TomC
20-09-2016, 08:13 PM
can someone give me a teaser about the 'very uncomfortable incident that was not handled well' from All-Stars?

MB.
20-09-2016, 08:30 PM
...an unwanted Dick?

I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump 'n' grind

TomC
20-09-2016, 10:03 PM
I am glad Lill took a stand against Jon's treatment of her (even if I liked him) :clap1:

I am glad they are finally having the jury members up in order of elimination. Just a little thing that annoyed me :laugh:

TomC
20-09-2016, 10:15 PM
I loved Lill's final jury statement :love:

TomC
20-09-2016, 10:28 PM
Pearl Islands:
Lillian
Jon
Sandra
Christa
Tijuana
Rupert
Darrah
Trish
Burton
Nicole
Ryan O
Andrew
Ryan S
Michelle
Osten
Shawn

Pretty great cast tbh, and such entertaining episodes :clap1:

It sits in my second tier, below Borneo, on the level of Africa and Marquesas I'd say?

rk3388
21-09-2016, 12:31 AM
Pretty near perfect ranking!

I actually didn't mind Osten and felt for skinny Ryan, but other than those 2 that is very similar to what I would put!

TomC
21-09-2016, 02:56 PM
I am watching the start of all-stars now!

How I feel about each person coming back:

Jenna - Yay, loved her.
Sue - Yay, loved her.
Rudy - He was a character, glad he's back.
Richard - He was a staple, it will be interesting to see how his gamplay compares, now the game has changed.
Amber - Meh, she was irrel.
Alicia - Yay, she was robbed.
Colby - Meh, wasn't a fan.
Jerri - Glad.
Tina - I really like her, so glad.
Ethan - I liked him, he was a tad dull though, and not that interested in seeing him again.
Tom & Lex - Not really interested tbh.
Rob M - Yas, I really liked him by the time he was voted out of Marquesas.
Kathy - SO HAPPY. She was robbed :love:
Shii Ann - She too was robbed, and definitely deserved a second chance.
Not too bothered about Rob C, Jenna M and Rupert tbh.

TomC
21-09-2016, 03:41 PM
Poor Tina :(

I really enjoyed that tbh, really enjoyed seeing most of them back, and intrigued to see how the game will pan out.

MB.
21-09-2016, 05:38 PM
It... pans out, that's for sure

rk3388
21-09-2016, 07:17 PM
All these early seasons just remind me of when the episodes could get 30 million + viewers and everyone at school loved to watch it!

TomC
21-09-2016, 08:59 PM
Rob C is much hotter this season lol.

TomC
23-09-2016, 12:11 PM
Omg Shii Ann on Richard 'he may not be impressive downstairs, but he's certainly impressive in other ways'.

:joker:

TomC
23-09-2016, 12:40 PM
It was so bizarre how Jeff was asking people about their opinions about why Jenna was leaving :umm2:

TomC
23-09-2016, 12:42 PM
Omg that is so sad :( Poor Jenna

TomC
25-09-2016, 03:14 PM
Richard was hilarious this time, I am kinda gutted he's gone, he was such a troll :laugh:

I am intrigued to see what gets under Sue's skin next time

Macie Lightfoot
25-09-2016, 03:20 PM
well sexual assault might be one thing

TomC
25-09-2016, 03:38 PM
What did he actually do? It was glossed over in the episode, and I missed the exact moment when it happened

TomC
25-09-2016, 03:38 PM
I am watchign Ep6 now

TomC
25-09-2016, 03:52 PM
On a separate note, I genuinely can't see Borneo being topped. It just had that X factor.

TomC
25-09-2016, 03:56 PM
Not another quitter. All-Star is such amess :worry: How many episodes?

Jack_
25-09-2016, 04:14 PM
14 + two reunions

Jack_
25-09-2016, 04:16 PM
oops wait no it's 16 + 2 reunions welp

TomC

Macie Lightfoot
25-09-2016, 05:26 PM
yup fasten your seatbelt bc you're in for a loooooooong ride

TomC
25-09-2016, 05:27 PM
Ok I feel much worse now, I might've felt okay if I knew I was pretty much half way now :laugh:

TomC
25-09-2016, 09:56 PM
Yas Colby's blindside :clap1: Really didn't enjoy him this time, so cocky.

I am loving Jerri as a villain this time :love:

TomC
30-10-2016, 03:34 PM
I decided to finish All-Stars - I'm up to Episode 12 now. And my oh my, Alicia is such a bitch :joker: Like initially I found it entertaining, but I am quite sick of her demeanour and the patronizing way she speaks to people - her reaction to the game where the tribe had to identify people of a certain trait was kinda pathetic.

Shii Ann is my current favourite but I know her days are numbered :( In fact I know who the winner and runner up are which is kinda annoying.

Macie Lightfoot
30-10-2016, 03:39 PM
yeah Alicia suuuuuucks

TomC
30-10-2016, 03:50 PM
omg Shii Ann winning immunity was such an amazing moment :clap1:

"Oh yeah, there are secrets in this tribe. None about who's going, but there are secrets." The words of a true winner in spirit.

And s t f u Alicia, when Shii Ann was celebrating saying "take that" and Alicia was like "be careful Shii Ann, remember who you have to walk back home with tonight". :bored: Such a bitch.

TomC
30-10-2016, 10:01 PM
Alicia and Jenna are both insufferable. They're definitely the two who've fallen furthest from grace in my eyes.

LukeB
30-10-2016, 10:02 PM

TomC
30-10-2016, 10:34 PM
why are none of these airheads realizing they need to get rid of Rob

MB.
30-10-2016, 10:38 PM
Would "because it happened thirteen years ago now get onto Vanuatu" be too obvious an answer

TomC
30-10-2016, 10:45 PM
Oh Shii Ann </3

I didn't care for her massively in Thailand but she has been sooo good in All-Stars. Calling out horrors such as Alicia and Jenna :clap1: Her speech at her final TC was so good.

And MB, I'm afraid I came back solely for All-Stars. (which, I might add, I am enjoying more than I thought I would - the sheer cut-throatness of it is quite compelling, I just wish Shii Ann hadn't been turned on).

EspeonBB
30-10-2016, 11:03 PM
I hated All Stars tbh. It was a bitter, hate filled season for me (mainly Lex and Kathy but others too) and I think I preferred everyone on their original seasons

reece(:
30-10-2016, 11:04 PM
Jerri scalped but most of the others were trash.

EspeonBB
30-10-2016, 11:07 PM
Yeah Jerri was by far the best :love:

The only other people I liked were Shii Ann, Rupert, Ethan, Jenna M and Rudy lol

Jack_
30-10-2016, 11:12 PM
The problem I had with All Stars is the majority of the people I was looking forward to watching again the most were voted off early (Richard, Rudy, Rob C) and then absolute fodder like Jenna L (literally who?), Tom and Amber made it to the end

It wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be, but it's still pretty ****ty

Macie Lightfoot
30-10-2016, 11:13 PM
yeah All-Stars was not fun at all. Everyone took things wayyyyyyy too seriously and ended up getting their feelings hurt big time, and like Espeon said everyone just came out of it looking worse. It's right in line with TAR and BBUS with ridiculously underwhelming [first] All-Star seasons.

TomC
30-10-2016, 11:16 PM
I hated All Stars tbh. It was a bitter, hate filled season for me (mainly Lex and Kathy but others too) and I think I preferred everyone on their original seasons

But I like it lol, I like it how desperately seriously they're taking it.

Yes, Kathy, Lex, Alicia and Jenna L ruined their reputations big time, but it's kind of entertaining.

TomC
01-11-2016, 08:57 PM
Watching the All-Stars final now.

That FTC was so, so brutal. I loved Shii Ann clocking the bitter jurors :clap1: Tom's 'don't be stupid, stupid' was hilariously cruel. Kathy made me cringe, and Lex is a hypocrite. Also, what has Jenna L done to her nose?

All-Stars:
Shii Ann
Jerri
Amber
Ethan
Rob M
Rupert
Sue
Richard
Rudy
Tina
Rob C
Kathy
Jenna M
Jenna L
Colby
Lex
Tom
Alicia

Macie Lightfoot
01-11-2016, 11:21 PM
Shii Annoying using her jury speech as an opportunity to bash everyone for being bitter only to vote for Amber to win :love::love::love:

I loved TAR Allstars 1 :laugh:
Mirna and Charla were such legends that season and compelled me until the very end. I also liked all the drama in the season

What's the consensus on Vanuatu? I kinda knew this would happen but I couldn't resist starting it. I'm watching it kinda casually.

I don't like how they've got 18 castaways - too many. I'm halfway through Ep2.

TomC
03-11-2016, 05:28 PM
**** YOU GOOGLE!!!! Just saw who the runner up of Vanuatu is :bored:

The last fecking season I saw where I had no idea who got to the end was Marquesas :rolleyes:

TomC
03-11-2016, 10:22 PM
It's just hilarious how the girls immediately imparted to John how they'd voted last time :laugh:

TomC
03-11-2016, 10:36 PM
ok that TC with Ami saying how Twila should get in touch with her feminine side has made me love them both :love:

Love the drama between Twila and Mia (is that her name?) too

TomC
03-11-2016, 10:39 PM
Okay well that feud was over quickly

TomC
07-11-2016, 09:37 PM
I liked Lisa :(

Vanuatu is quite good so far tbf.

TomC
07-11-2016, 11:00 PM
As much as I'm glad that Twila and Julie survived on Lopevi, idg the guys' logic in not voting out a woman.. I also liked John so it's a shame he's gone.

One thing I don't like about this seaon is the messy editing - the first three men to go went with next to no airtime.

TomC
08-11-2016, 10:16 PM
I've realised who Eliza reminds me of:

Macie Lightfoot
08-11-2016, 10:47 PM
the whole Shii Ann/Christy/Eliza archetype of plucky underdogs who are actually SUPER grating :love::love::love:

TomC
09-11-2016, 01:37 PM
I looove Shii Ann (for All-Stars) and Christy, Eliza is kinda meh to me.

JerseyWins
09-11-2016, 07:31 PM
Eliza >>>>>>>> Christy and idk who Shi Ann is tbh.

TomC
09-11-2016, 08:53 PM
Okay Twila is actually really obnoxious, and Scout disappointed me when they were both laughing at Eliza when she was annoyed about them hiding food

Side note - Vanuatu is realllly bad for rootable characters

TomC
09-11-2016, 09:11 PM
What does Scout mean 'rediscover your roots Jules, go back to your roots...' :unsure:

TomC
09-11-2016, 09:41 PM
Eliza's vote-off was so cruel. Chris and Twila's nonchalance was pretty disgusting :bored:

TomC
09-11-2016, 10:48 PM
Vanuatu:
Eliza
Scout
Julie
Lisa
Ami
Mia
Chris
John K
Rory
Dolly
LeAnn
Chad
Travis
John P
Brady
Brooke
Twila
Sarg

Well, Vanuatu is an interesting one. It was entertaining enough throughout and I loved the FTC - Twila's final statement was so emotional, I had to ensure it didn't make me forget I hated her for most of the season. However, the casting was pretty bad.

I honestly didn't strongly like anyone, and there were so many meh, wishy-washy characters, and a few who didn't even seem to make the edit.

TomC
09-11-2016, 10:58 PM
Just watched the first like 60 seconds of Palau and even more ew at 20 castaways :umm2: It's simply too many.

Macie Lightfoot
09-11-2016, 11:38 PM
Twila hate is UNACCEPTABLE

Jack_
09-11-2016, 11:38 PM
My mind will forever boggle at the fact Julie and Jeff dated for four years

TomC
10-11-2016, 04:28 PM
Twila hate is UNACCEPTABLE

As well as quite common I'd imagine.

My mind will forever boggle at the fact Julie and Jeff dated for four years

Why? According to Wiki she was let on the show solely because of him.

TomC
10-11-2016, 11:09 PM
Two episodes into Palau - I much prefer this cast on first impressions; seems like a much more interesting, eclectic mix.

Don't really have a favourite so far - wish Jolanda had stayed, she seemed like a big characcter. James is an ass. I'm not sure if I liked the twist in Episode 1 - very gimmicky and unfair.

TomC
10-11-2016, 11:31 PM
Wanda will have her revenge one day

She returns in Season 11 doesn't she? :laugh:

I knew that 2 Palau players return for 11, and 15 mins into Palau I'm pretty sure I knew who who they are

MB.
10-11-2016, 11:34 PM
I... erm... probably wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you

Imagine Wanda being the Stepheme-esque villain of Guatemala <3

TomC
11-11-2016, 12:59 PM
Not four votes in a single episode :omgno:

Also, Angie was kinda screwed over by that unnecessary immunity twist.

Macie Lightfoot
11-11-2016, 05:09 PM
As well as quite common I'd imagine.

Not really? I think a lot of the Survivor community views her as someone veeeeery similar to Sue Hawk. I think Sue's the stronger character, but Twila has the stronger storyline and is possibly even more Raw N Real.

She's soo obnoxious and nasty tho :laugh: I can see the Sue Hawk similarity.

I'm really liking Palau. It's what I'd imagine Survivor is like nowadays?

I think Koror is a much more interesting tribe :3 and I'm very whatever on Palau as a season. It's great on a first watch bc of the obvious reasons but after that, eh.

Yeah I think Koror is better, cos it has crazy Janu and Caryn, and bitchy Katie. It's a much better mix, whereas Ulong was mainly the good-looking people.

lol just starting my sixth episode of Palau today, I have no classes on Friday, that's my excuse

TomC
11-11-2016, 11:27 PM
lmao, I love how they didn't do the merge at F10, seemingly to give Ulong a final chance to win, only for them to lose again.

On a side note, expecting a merge and it not happening sucks.

TomC
11-11-2016, 11:43 PM
Oh Bobby Jon you will be missed </3 I just (accidentally) found out he returns for Guatemala, so at least that's something.

I don't want any spoiler/confirmation but I feel it's pretty obvious Steph will win from her popularity on here and the way the edit has gone?

Anyway, here's how I'd rank the Final 9:
1. Steph
2. Janu
3. Coby (he's messy)
4. Jenn
5. Katie
6. Gregg
7. Ian
8. Caryn
9. Tom

TomC
12-11-2016, 06:20 PM
Janu's so ****ing messy :joker:

Chundering on the reward and then nibbling on the desert they brought back for the other tribemates, and then quitting the challenge as soon as Jeff says 'are you beginning to panic?'

12-11-2016, 10:43 PM
Okay that was a literal jaw-drop moment! I was sooo convinced Steph was the winner of Palau

Macie Lightfoot
12-11-2016, 10:50 PM
I mean... lol it was literally eight against one so she would have had to win every Immunity Challenge, and then win over a jury of people she only spent like two weeks with.

I mean... lol it was literally eight against one so she would have had to win every Immunity Challenge, and then win over a jury of people she only spent like two weeks with.

The edit made it look like Caryn was gonna go though, and the whole series so far felt like it was Survivor: The Tale of Stephenie, about how she battled the elements and overcame the odds... Am I the only one who saw this? :joker:

I felt like she was gonna pull a Chris.

Also, it's not like Koror were overly tight - Steph seemed quite popular amongst them.

That F5 TC was honestly one of the best I've seen in all ten seasons of Survivor I've seen - so much drama! And finally we saw the return of crazy Caryn..

I was ready for Ian to go though, I'm not a big fan.

Katie's actually really grown on me and I kinda want her to win now, or Jenn.

I'd watch Borneo first. Borneo as a season is so great; I love how it starts so innocent and then unfolds into devious backstabbing, betrayal and Snakes & Rats.

Macie Lightfoot
13-11-2016, 05:41 PM
BBUS without a doubt, BBUK it's tough to compare bc of the different formats and airing schedules (14 episodes of Survivor versus like... 60 episodes of BBUK at minimum) but Pearl Islands is essential viewing. And a lot of other seasons too tbh.

Daniel.

Brilliant season! Definitely one of the best casts of Survivor, and I just found it to be relentlessly entertaining. :love: Not quite the ending I'd have hoped for, but at least it wasn't Ian - Tom was a nice guy with a good game, and I should have known realistically Katie had no chance :laugh: Also, I think Stephenie may be my favourite castaway of all time... Up there with Kathy (Marquesas), Christy (Amazon) and Shii-Ann (All-Stars).

I definitely think the season has gotten better as it goes. I mean Steph hasn't massively gone down in my estimation, but I think the initial reason a lot of us loved her because she was an underdog - this time she's quite the opposite and so of course acts differently.

Amy is my current favourite. I like Lydia, Bobby Jon, Steph and did like Brian and Margaret.

Cirie

Cirie & Shane were absolute gold. Courtney is pretty damn annoying but without her (and Danielle) then Shane probably provides less drama & entertainment so whatever. It was a pretty fun season with them as, like, frenemies.

Why do you hate Terry? I think I just about prefer him to Aras.

He's a smug, condescending jerk with no self-awareness. Like aside from his general selfish, pretentious, entitled, judgmental nature, his lecture to Aras after the family visit reward about how some relationships are more valuable than others and his relationship with his wife is inherently more important than Aras's relationship with his mom was legit disgusting. Also, "maybe one day your conscience will speak up and tell you you should've taken the Navy pilot" like how can someone be so self-unaware???

Also, part of this comes from watching live but oh my goddddd Probst jerking himself off to Terry every week and good portion of the audience doing so was nauseating. Not only did he get away with being a smug and entitled jerk because he's An All-American Hero, but of course it turned into people thinking he was actually a great player because he made it to the F3 literally only by going on an IC streak? He's a prideful douche was zero skills at the game. Every time he tried to make a move he presented himself as "hey I'm going to offer you the opportunity to be at the bottom of my alliance :smug:" so no wonder why everyone hated your guts?

Basically, it comes down to the fact that Terry was ridiculously ****ing arrogant despite NEVER being in a position of power, and as you'll soon see with Cook Islands, I give Terry a lot of credit for ruining part of the modern Survivor format :)

Hmm interesting. Being smug (which he was, I agree) isn't such a crime, is it? Also, yes, he was never in power, but he did try and make some moves such as at the Final 8 which I think he deserves credit for.

The family reward thing was really bad though I agree - however it was balanced out (in fact, Aras was worse) when Aras accused him of misogyny.

It kind of is? Every Terry moment turned into a gigantic lecture either to the other players or to the audience about how he's the 46 year old with life experience and he's the mature one, and poor Terry for having to live with all these insufferable 24 year olds (even though they often displayed more maturity than him.)

Not to mention that being so smug all the damn time and having zero humility is precisely why he couldn't gain any leverage in the game and he was perpetually at the bottom. He literally offered people to be at the bottom of his alliance and then was completely dumbfounded when they just laughed in his face and openly mocked him.

Other examples of Terry's suckitude: his lecturing of Cirie for where she put her torch after Shane's vote off, his godawful jury speech, throwing a temper tantrum when Aras beat him in the ropes reward challenge, and that's all with me not having watched Panama in years.

And then his hero arc on Cambodia (even without the family emergency) even though he was on the bottom the whole time ((YET AGAIN))

I'll put this in spoilers even though it's not about a specific season but more of a Survivor format change, but

I place a lot of the blame on Terry's existence for the show's switch to a final three :rolleyes:

Would Terry even have won if it was a final 3? Yes the La Minas would've voted for him but the Casayas hated his guts and would've voted for Aras/Danielle over him

I actually really liked Aras in Panama and if Cirie couldn't win I was glad that he did (plus he's super hot which helps)

Omg JP is so freakin' hot. That's all I have to say three episodes into Cook Islands.
