Well he gets naked next episode so eat your heart out

Wow this will be the highlight of my survivor experience so far. Snakes & rats hew?

QUEEN ASHLEY!

Just finished episode 3. Courtney's choking-walrus voting confessional was a scream <3

Love Courtney and Todd as a duo so far, and Ashley and Lesley were robbed favourites! Jean-Robert is a tad awful

Good season so far! Fairly entertaining, nothing too complex gameplay-wise though

Leslie :love: Courtney :love: Todd :love:

Even Jean-Robert can be appreciated for the moustache-twiddling panto villain he is

I actually like everyone in China except Denise and Dave

Omg that segment where James was laying into Peih-Gee and Jaime for their performance in the challenge was hilarious :joker:

Also, I must observe that the gameplay in this season is basic af. Serves Africa teas.

Ah yes, I'd forgotten the immunity idol existed. Never fails to spice up a season!

Todd is a mastermind <3 (But im also not happy cos I love PG, Jaime and Sherea and likes the idea of them being in the majority)

Yeah sherea was actually a bit of a birch at TC so it was mildly satisfying to see JR survive

I always had Sherea down as a thin-leaved deciduous hardwood tree

:joker: Oh MB how you've grown on me since my Survivor watch

I knew it would only take a bit of Amanda Kimmel for us to finally bond

China is a top tier season for sure. There's not one person who doesn't deliver in some way.

Yes! Upolu is possibly one of my favourite tribes ever.

Courtney winning immunity <3

I think Upolu is up there as one of the most complex tribes in Survivor history. Like, on the surface there was a clear group of insiders and outsiders and that's not exciting, but the workings of the in-crowd and the use of religion as a tool of unity and manipulation is just fascinating to me.

(in spoilers for Tom's sake and it spoils the F3 and winner)

Eww I just feel my mind is so plagued with so many Survivor spoilers and I hate it :( Just ran through all castaways from Seasons 1-15 and realised I already know at least 12 people who are in HvV.

I wonder how the US public felt having to wait two weeks to find out what the ominous 'unfinished business' was for it only to be a reward challenge

Why is Amanda's arse always blurred out lol

A Denise win would have me shaken, please god no. However part of me wants to see Todd taken out just for the lulz even tho I like him

Omg I s2g if the vote and winner reveal is cut off again I will die

lol @ Denise thinking she'd have won

lol @ Denise in general

Just finished China. Thoroughly enjoyable season; outstanding cast (as well as being insanely likeable for the most part), lots of great moments and a very satisfying endgame. Honestly, that was my favourite F3 out of the first fifteen seasons. It was nice to have a return to what felt more like the 'classic' seasons of Survivor (1-7, I think that's what they're called lmao).

It's really interesting how Todd pretty much controlled the game from Day 1. It was intriguing how up to a point he literally controlled what the alliance did, but he got away with it because he was just so likeable. I think Amanda lost it when she started playing 'woe is me' - I actually think she was a really good Survivor player too.

Jean-Robert and Dave were great panto villains, the word panto being why they don't go in red; only truly awful people like Judd and Rocky go in red in my Survivor watches.

Looking forward to starting Micronesia tomorrow: I know Fairplay, Ami, Eliza, Parvati, Ozzy and Yau-Man return and I'm pretty enthustiastic to see all of them play again in a different setting.

Somewhat humouring sidenote: I just watched the vote count with Russian subtitles for fear of the winner being spoiled at the start of the reunion like it was with Fiji, but I went through it for nothing :bawling: Really killed the tension
