Cochran is pathetic, but Whitney and Jim are also awful.

Brandon is messy 'just wanna check no one's gettin' aggressive over here :)'

Why :suspect:

Maybe pathetic is a bit harsh, but he just kinda cowers in confrontation and has no conviction in his actions, like after he flipped.

RI twist honestly sucks so bad. A simple tribe swap would be vastly preferable in both seasons; it would probably have prevented the pagonging in RI and it feels like the same might happen this season.

Edna </3 She really came into her own toward the end of her stay

Oh wow F5 episode looks good

come back plz edna x

South Pacific is a middle-tier season. I think what helps it is that it is just perfectly superior to RI. The cast is pretty good, and it did have memorable moments. The gameplay was somewhat lacklustre though.

South Pacific:
Edna
Sophie
Dawn
Ozzy
Brandon
Coach
Stacey
Whitney
Semhar
Albert
Christine
Mikayla
Elyse
Rick
Papa Bear
Cochran
Jim
Keith

I actually really liked Ozzy and Coach this time; each of their best appearances yet. One thing I'll say about this cast is that I struggled to find a strong favourite. Don't think any of these players would make my Top 20.

I decided to watch Jeff Probst's cast assessment for S24 (I've never known anything about a new player cast beforehand in the past) and it seems like quite a good cast? Apparently this is a season with v unpleasant behaviour tho :worry:

It's... not a very good cast (there are conspiracy theorists out there who believe that they purposely cast the worst newbies possible in order to get away with having so many returning player seasons afterwards. I'm not one of them), sorry to shatter that image so quickly. But that's not a comment on the season itself, so y'know, have fun!

There are a few good characters! But it probably is one of the nastiest seasons.

s24 cast is awful lol

One World is just a season full of nothing.

On the plus side, Tom, you're almost at the season where one eighteenth of the cast are convicted paedophiles!

That season is actually good though.

I enjoyed One World.

And Phili <3

Colton is a bit of a ... character isn't he?

he is scum :omgno:

Yeah his irrational dislike of Bill is pretty offputting

oh, and him calling him 'ghetto trash' ofc

I always thought Natalie Bolton returned at some point and just found out she doesn't :( Does anyone know if she's been asked?

Lots of times; she even flew to Samoa as an alternate for Heroes vs. Villains

iirc she was even considered for this current season at one point, so I wouldn't rule out seeing her again (especially if Second Chance II happens soon as Jeff so dearly wants)

i really really want more awkward ftc chat


wtfff at all the guys going to TC? did everyone event consent to it? This episode is really dumb

I've read about some uncomfortable OW pre-merge moment, does that refer to the Colton/Bill conflict? Or have i not seen it yet

It... refers to Colton, yes

Colton is actually quite disgusting. The racism is kinda transparent to see?

i literally groaned at 'my housekeeper'

him insulting bill's job was gross too

omg it was a set-up to get Bill out? or am I being dumb? idk

honestly though, Bill going in the face of this episode alone, comfortably slides S24 unto my bottom 5 of all time already
