The only season that I have never watched is Worlds Apart. I just lost interest in the first episode and heard negative things about the series. Is it worth a watch to get to know the two returnees from this season?

Macie Lightfoot 31-05-2016 06:41 PM

no bc they were both UTR and not important to the season at all

Yes but you can stop after Hali's boot episode in fact I highly suggest stopping there since the rest of the season is utter trash.

VanessaFeltz. 31-05-2016 07:06 PM

i think worlds apart would be better if you watch the episodes back to back not slowly

MB. 31-05-2016 07:08 PM

Or perhaps even not at all

WA would be better if it was reversed

JerseyWins 01-06-2016 08:30 AM

Had to skip 3 episodes that wouldn't work for this season (aside from the recap episode that I also skipped) but yeah this was a very uneventful/boring season regardless of not seeing those episodes I think.

One thing I don't like about Survivor is that the majority alliance every season is practically guaranteed to be like 4 out of 5 / 5 out of 6 of the finalists, etc. You rarely see any kind of big switch within the season after the merge.

Spoiler:

In Cook Islands I liked that Jonathan switched over because you just rarely see that but then anyway all that really did was make the other side coast to the final 4 and the original majority crumble. :joker: I'd prefer to see more power shifts in a season but it just doesn't really line up that way in this kind of game I guess. :shrug: It's still fine just something I noticed gets repetitive in Survivor.

use Alluc.ee it has everything, you will not miss an episode there

JerseyWins 01-06-2016 06:59 PM

Thanks, I'll take a look at that site when I start my next season. :thumbs:

MB. 01-06-2016 10:15 PM

I believe I shall be kind-of-re-watching-but-not-really-re-watching Gabon next

JerseyWins 02-06-2016 05:54 PM

Fiji

Spoiler:

Jessica going first </3

Although I still like plenty of people a lot more than her anyway. This cast is really, really promising right now. The only thing is I don't know too much about a lot of the people in the Moto tribe yet but I like practically everyone in the tribe Jessica was on. :clap1:

LukeB 02-06-2016 05:55 PM

Are you using Alluc:smug:

JerseyWins 02-06-2016 05:57 PM

I'm using the other site right now because I'm used to it and it normally it has all the episodes. But Alluc looks like everything is there as well so it will be my backup in case there's another missing episode on watchseries. :clap1: :thumbs:

rk3388 02-06-2016 07:05 PM

Started Worlds Apart but even lost interest the first episode aha
Will do a ranking if I continue watching but at this point I am not sure if I will continue

rk3388 04-06-2016 07:38 PM

I continued with Worlds Apart and it's pretty mediocre but not AS crap as I thought it was going to be. In fact, I thought it had a pretty strong male cast (But weak female cast, probably why a lot of forum members hate it). On the Finale episode and will probably post my ranking tomorrow.

Macie Lightfoot 04-06-2016 08:01 PM

how strong can a male cast with Dan, Rodney, Will, Tyler, and Max be?

rk3388 04-06-2016 08:25 PM

Will explain my reasons in my rankings!

JerseyWins 05-06-2016 06:06 AM

Rodney was very amusing. Tyler was pretty damn likable (surprisingly for his kind of archetype on these shows).

I do think the male cast was weak overall that season (a bunch I didn't like) and there weren't too many hugely likable characters as a whole both male & female. In fact even my favorites of that season get blown away by my faves from most/even all other seasons.

Macie Lightfoot 05-06-2016 01:36 PM

Tyler wasn't anything lol he was a cardboard cutout

Braden 05-06-2016 03:27 PM

Alina's boot episode in Nicaragua has become one of my favourites. For a season that started off quite dull, it definitely picked up after the swap :love:

rk3388 05-06-2016 06:14 PM

1. My man Mike Holloway → Probably in my top five winners, he was entertaining, a great competitor and overall just a likeable guy!
2. Rodney → Hate him as a person, love him as a survivor contestant. Had little respect for others, but couldn’t help but appreciate his sense of humour and what he brought to this season.
3. Jenn → Although wanting to quit prevented her from being my #2, her confessionals and attitude in general always had me in stitches
4. Shirin → I did find her annoying at times, but she had her funny moments and did not deserve to be treated the way she was
5. Nina → She was not cut out for Survivor at all, but I still felt for her and wish she went further
6. Max→ Couldn’t help but appreciate his love for the game, and do think he deserved a second chance (even though he could be annoying)
7. Vince → Another character that I hate as a person, but his insecurities and delusions made for a good survivor villain in the first 2 episodes of the season.

8. Carolyn→ Had no opinion on her the first half of the game. Respected her a bit more the latter half for not giving Rodney any of her rewards (:joker:) and for semi-teaming up with Mike near the end
9. So → Had a lot of potential, but couldn’t be higher on the list because I didn’t see enough of her
10. Hali→ Very mediocre contestant. Attractive and likeable but didn’t contribute that much to the game
11. Kelly → she got hit on the head.
12. Tyler→ Boring to watch and devoid of any gameplay or personality
13. Dan→ DESPISE him as a person, but not lower because he did contribute a lot to the season and was fun to root against because he’s SO delusional and detestable (Think he deserves a spot in HvsV 2 as an early-boot)

14. Joe→ Didn’t mind him on Second Chances, but he had a few rude moments towards Nina and did not really seem to have a lot going on in his head
15. Lindsey→ Thought she was just as bad as Rodney but without a sense of humour
16. Sierra→ Horrible gameplayer. Had a chance to change the game up by joining Mike, Jenn and Shirin but couldn’t really make any moves. Her eyebrows were fascinating to watch though
17. Joaquin → Very little personality and seemed pretty arrogant
18. Will→ Horrible at challenges. Despicable personality. Coasted through the whole season. Need I say more?

rk3388 05-06-2016 06:24 PM

Watching WA has motivated me to re-watch old seasons cause I forgot how fast I could get through one season. Thinking of rewatching the Amazon because I haven't watched it since it aired.
