It was... okay... but there's, like, a lot of room for improvement (hi, KiwiJeff who doesn't seem to know how to ask a good Tribal Council question and has already inadvertently tanked one person's game)

Spoiler:

I suppose the best part was Dee's "I'VE WATCHED EVERY EPISODE OF SURVIVOR TWENTY EIGHT TIMES, I SPEND FOUR HUNDRED HOURS OF MY WEEK LISTENING TO SURVIVOR PODCASTS" speech and the completely indifferent reaction it got from the cast <3

Congrats MB!

What the **** did i just watch? It was the biggest unwatchable MESS i have ever seen.

Spoiler:

Also if you watched EVERY episode of survivor, listened podcasts and read EVERY survivor blog you should've known that being subtle is the key for survival.

What is wrong with these superfans screaming&jumping down and thinking they can actually win that way

So was the Australian version, the presenter there was full of Probst mannerisms.


This is similar in a worrying way to the Australian version too. It had the host talking about 'playing this game with honour' and then one of the contestants saying they had a 'tribe of heroes' after voting the 'villain' out. If we keep hearing that stuff it will have the same problems as the Australian version.

okay second episode was a decent episode.

if they did this season with 20 people it could turn out decent

Could someone send me the link/s please, I can't find it on where MB said to look and my usual links site doesn't seem to be posting it

starry 08-05-2017 09:05 PM

A pirate bay proxy site should get you it.


Second ep, yet more on values and honour. Sala reminds me of the hat guy from the Australian one talking about his honour/values all the time. Shay reminds me of Brooke, and she's got her female alliance too.

I don't see why they told them about redemption island, better to keep it secret.

BBUKAUSFAN 09-05-2017 01:35 AM

it was basicly unwatchable very cringe. Not sure if ill watch anymore.

For all of it's faults (which could very well be teething problems that will improve as the episodes go on) i still enjoyed it more than i do watching the scripted mess that the US version has turned into.
Every new Season is filled with more people that you know (some extremely well!) than new fresh characters and the impeccably timed ''i need an idol, i found an idol'' skits and the blatant foretelling of who will be evicted every week are just getting more ludicrous with every new Season!

Use this instead

Having just watched episode 2... not only is KiwiJeff terrible at asking questions, but this cast is awful at answering them (or at least, stretching them out beyond "erm, I don't know, maybe?") (oh, and nobody can fold their parchments properly)

MESS at shay randomly voting for lou
Episode 4 spoilers

Also production is doing better but they messed up big time when
Spoiler:

They showed a confessional of Sala when he was wearing a purple buff

starry 16-05-2017 11:36 AM

Saw ep4


Not happy with the elimination, and didn't really see the sense of it.

At least there's another dimension with Shay now with the religious aspect I guess.

The other tribe is so boring. Such a predictable split between the age groups. Are these people aware of idols at all, do they look for them?

VanessaFeltz. 20-05-2017 07:36 PM

This is too under rated

I am still crying at Lou getting robbed </3

Lou, Hali and Gary join 13th place robbed queens club

episode 5 was quite boring, how predictable was the result of the RI challenge. The main drama was a potential medivac.

episode 6 -

at last a shakeup of the tribes. As they don't seem to have immunity idols this was desperately needed. Turns out it just made individual people of the two original ribes automatically on the outs, the eliminated one probably wishes she hadn't been so cliquey now. You have to play a broader game knowing there could be a tribe mix up. The face off at redemption island is now between the two sides.

The irony in the episode was that they were talking about throwing the challenge, but didn't once the tribe change up happened. They actually had even more reason to throw it after that twist, rather stupid not to see that.
