Mess I forgot about this and am now like 5 eps behind

I thought there'd only been 2 eps :skull:

It was on four times this week (WHY)

I need to catch up :joker:

I was wondering what her picture was at that as it wasn't discussed. She's pretty pathetic really, like she's meant to be some bargain basement Australian Russell. Seeing her big ass struggle over that obstacle and hold her team up in the challenge was at least a rare funny moment in this season. All these champion/hero reality shows now feel like they are forcing people's 'stories' at us.

So I'm up to episode 5...a few positives first (cause there aren't many)

screaming @ Steve being so blatant about searching for idols :joker::joker::joker: and then even looking through the pillows or whatever mid-challenge <3 tut tut @ Jonathan drawing attention to it, I like ha but he needs to stop doing stuff like that

I howled at Steve calling him Jeff though, he did NOT sound happy! :laugh2: also I realise I'm not supposed to but I liked Russell? I found his delusions a scream

Anyway...

I don't have a good feeling about this season at all. In fact I think it might turn out to be ****ing tragic.

It's giving me SERIOUS post-merge S3 (are we calling it S3 or S1 btw?) vibes where everyone's sitting around singing ****ing kumbaya decrying anyone for ~playing the game~, like Steve banging on about "gameplay" at tribal ugh get to fuuuuck with that crap YOU'RE ON SURVIVOR. I can't take another season of people like Sam Webb :yuk:

As for the vote-offs...

The *only* positive thing I've taken from the last few episodes is the beautiful way they edited Tegan's vote onwards at the end of ep 5, pure poetry :love:

One last thing, I really had to laugh at the irony of a scene of Zac's sexism being followed up by a Shonee "I'm sick of it" confessional, where 'Pro-Skater's Wife' is her chyron :joker:

Are the editors just trolling or? I don't usually pay attention to these things

This season is so odd lmao. I can't really muster up a cast ranking yet, so I'll structure my thoughts into the following categories.

People Who MB. Currently Likes: Shane mfing Gould (thinking that eating sea shells and hiding them by the fire is up there with, say, Richard Hatch's most Machiavellian schemes <3 spending half an episode looking for an idol in full view of everyone, before finding one and immediately wishing she hadn't <3) :love: Jackie (I just wish someone would look at me the way she looks at her Rubik's Cube) :love: Tegan :love: Tall king Heath :love: Volcano-making king Sam :love: Brian :love: ANITA :love: PAIGE :love: FENELLA :love: cold-blooded killer Sharn :love: anyone else with a vagina who I've neglected to mention :love:

People Who MB. Is Vaguely Aware Are Currently On This Show: Steve W., Mat, Robbie, Benji (his choices in allies suck, but the last Ben(ji) to go at least six episodes without a confessional turned out to be one of the biggest delights of the season, so we sort of stan a mysterious king!)

People Who MB. Just Can't Be Bothered With Right Now tbh: who else but Zach!

And of course not forgetting those who've already been voted out/pwn'd by Shane Gould:

Hmm sounds like somebody's got a severe case of Jackiealousy!

Slightly gutted that these people are gone

Tegan, Heath, Brian, Sam, Sharn, Jackie and Shane :love:

Update: B*nji doesn't deserve to have his name mentioned in the same post as The Ben Morgan, and I apologise for the hurt caused by my earlier comparison

No mention for Queen Monika? Her cutie smile lights up the screen. And I've got respect for Lydia she's a beast in the challenges.

Monika hasn't spoken for six episodes so I'm not best equipped to judge either way

She spoke when Shane found the idol.

The girls on the contenders tribe are official all canceled they are idiots.

Just so you are all aware I'm fair sure survivor is going down to 2 days a week now that Bachelor Australia has started :fist:, so it will be on Monday, Tuesday only this week we will have to see what happens next week.

Everyone given up on this? ��

Yeah, I haven't caught up since whichever episode Tegan was sent to Redemption-Island-but-not-Redemption Island

Finally at merge and a decent person gets voted off first ��������

I suggest you don’t catch. It hasn’t been worth watching.

Shonella :love:

I’ve really enjoyed this season tbh and I like most of the final 6!

Im actual happy with the winner!!!

Our Winner:
