-It was actually a really great premiere! I enjoyed the American-ness of it all, but also the little touches that the US show doesn't do anymore, like the full title sequence and the longer clips of camp life rather than just jumping into strategy and idols and blindsides and big moves!!!. The editing's still slightly one-sided, but considering there are 24(,000) of them, it could have been a lot worse and I'm sure it'll balance out in future eps
-Jonathan (LaPaglia, not Firewire) was a tad rusty and was clearly trying hard to be a Probst clone, but he'll get into his stride soon enough I imagine
-Vavau are already the best tribe and I won't hear anything against them (shelter-breaking icons <3)
-Speaking of Vavau, I'm a little worried about Sue-Nami already getting the #GettingItDoneAt71 edit in the very first episode :worry:
-Saanapu were there too
-Aganoa suck apart from Kat and maybe Phoebe :/ But they look set to be the Matsing/To Tang/insert other dysfunctional tribe here so it's all good
-Kat beating Des <3 It was a pretty iconic one episode rivalry, peaking in Des' Crystal/Randy levels of shouting his vote <3 <3 <3
-I've got a good feeling about this season, which means I'll be hating every single person by episode 4, but it'll be so worth it
