Great 5 minute clip to start off.

The highlights of that video:

Tony: "You know, it's gonna be the same circus different clowns" :joker: :joker: :joker:

Sarah: "Ok let me dissect this. 4th time playing, never won. If you've been married 4 times, would you be good at marriage?" :joker: I don't even care that she gunned my boy Ozzy, that's pretty good lol.

Sandra in general.

I liked Hali a lot in that (I mean I like her to begin with I just think she's unmemorable but she seems ready to play and is someone who will most likely be underestimated). I also feel like Andrea will most likely get underestimated by the cast but maybe she ends up playing too hard or something idk.

On to the individual ones, just a few random comments for the most part:

Sierra - Wait, everyone on the jury loved Sierra? I wouldn't be surprised if she flops twice tbh.

Hali - Not much to comment on in this one but yeah I like what she's saying and definitely think she could be more under the radar than anyone.

Cirie - Legend :love: also I'd love to see her & Caleb working together if possible

Andrea - Third time's the charm.

Aubry - I kinda feel like she's gonna be an early boot but maybe I'm wrong.

Jeff - Meh at the interview but I liked him in both seasons so not worried about him not being entertaining

Tony - I'm pretty sure nooooo one is gonna buy his bs this time around but LOL at the enthusiasm and it'd be absolutely epic if he somehow made it through again. King T.V. :worship:

Sarah - Lul @ the marriage line again.. maybe she could be a pleasant surprise but I did also like her through most of Cagayan anyway.

JT - I hope he gets redemption for HvV. Lol @ wanting to take Brad to the end after he pisses everyone off.

Brad - Very whatever even in this interview but I wouldn't be surprised if this guy is dragged along at least for a while. Interesting that he wants to work with a lot of girls this time when he was in a bro down last time.

Zeke - Solid, very game-oriented again but I like to see that for the most part :clap1:

Michaela - She's pretty great and I'm sure she'll be entertaining as hell again.

Debbie - She was partially annoying even in this video but I'm going to watch with an open mind and yesssss @ wanting to work with Tony!!!

Troyzan - Idk what it is about him but I like the guy. :joker: THIS IS HIS ISLAND

Tai - Lol lovable Tai. I feel like Tai & Ciera would be pretty fun to watch playing together so interesting that he mentioned her.

Ciera - I felt like Ciera might actually be an early target (big gameplayer that also might not really be viewed as an asset in challenges - might be one of those people with too much game not enough forming relationships). However, I did really like what she had to say and maybe she lasts.

Sandra - I swear Sandra gets better and better with time. :laugh3:

Malcolm - "I'll stab you in the back and you'll say thank you afterwards" :joker: Out of my favorites, it's been the longest since I've seen Tony & Malcolm (who are also my top 2 pre-season anyway) so safe to say I can't wait to see him on Survivor again.

Caleb - Big time wildcard for sure.

Ozzy - Nice way to wrap it up :clap1:


Main thing I got from watching all that... *****ING EVERYONE'S WORRIED ABOUT TONY, NOOOOOO (:fc: Debbie does something right and saves him)

A decent amount of people seem to like Cirie and want to work with her though so there's some good news.

ET Canada interviews:

Not going to tribal =/= not playing the game for three weeks

Winchele strikes again!

First thoughts: fuck me J.T looks like shit.

can someone fucking fire Probst already? It's just so odd that the person hosting the fucking show doesn't seem to understand the game. I'm a HUGE fan of Aubry and think she's the best contestant we've had in years but Michelle completely deserved it.

Like it genuinely perplexes me how fans try to make their opinion feel like it's right because they watched fourteen 45 minute programs and they feel like it matters over people on the show who've actually been with them for roughly 19-38 days?!?!

Natalie White is probably my favourite winner because it really shows what it really takes to win survivor. I prefer Sandra as a contestant, of course, but Natalie's win really opened up a discourse about what the game of Survivor (a SOCIAL and strategic game) is really about. Of course, I feel that had the editors actually, you know, done their job in showing why Natalie won we wouldn't have had these bullshit opinions in the first place.

I'm fine with Jeff as a host (my phone autocorrected this to goat, which lol) except when he's doing that "how do you text the word 'you'?" crap... but as a producer? Nah. It's noticeable how the show, with a few exceptions, began to nosedive as soon as he joined the production team

I'm guessing he asked this on MvGX which makes me SO glad I haven't watched it.

Yup, be very thankful indeed

I love the ET Canada interviews. Erin is such a likable person who asks all the right questions :p

Also loving this mini Hali/Sierra feud. Come through UTR World Apart girls!

I think Michelle did NOT deserve to win over Aubry at all but for him to shade her every single time he gives an interview is very disrespectful. You are the host of the show, you should be respectful to each and every player.

yeah it's just amazing to me that seventeen years later and Probst still doesn't understand the idea of a social game

JT: I can work with Sandra. I think we'll be able to work together. And I think given our gameplay if I made it to the end with Sandra, I'd beat her.

I don't know about thaaaat.

A look at the two tribes:

Long may his delusion continue and he takes her to the end to become a three time winner!

#JeffProbstExposedParty

Make the most of those tribe divisions while you can - you're not going to see them after the premiere

I don't even like Wentworthless but let me just leave this here

Mess @ all the men underestimating Sandra

She's coming for that third win! <3

I love Kelly Wentworthalot (in Cambodia anyway where she was actually showcased) but Caleb kinda "changed the game" competition-wise. We've seen comp threats but we've never seen someone go THAT hard in challenges to the point where they looked in as bad shape as Caleb looked when he got med-evacuated.

I don't mind her saying that though because Caleb is wrong too. Sandra changed the game in a way where she didn't do too much around camp and gave the illusion that she's being dragged to the end but won both times anyway; it's not just the wins. So I guess she changed the game by using that style of play to win. Also, being a loud & obnoxious, even cutthroat, player like a Tony and managing to not get kicked off anyway. Although Tony is a game changer for different reasons as well.

A lot of the "game changer" reasoning is pretty far-fetched anyway so Sandra is definitely not one that should be questioned over others at the least.

Debbie Wanner (Kaoh Rong): Sandra Diaz is going to be one of the first to go. No one wants to see her win three times.

she is cancelled

It's not as much that Caleb pushed himself more than any Survivor challenge competitor ever as it is the fact that they were made to dig through hot sand for hours in temperatures which should frankly be illegal

It just so happens that Caleb was doing the most work (like, come on, Cydney nearly died too), and his sense of entitlement paired with his complete lack of self-awareness here... yikes. It'd be comical if it didn't come from someone so utterly humourless as Caleb

Quick ranking:

Debbie
Sandra
Cirie
Michaela
Aubry
Malcolm
Sarah
Tai
Tony
Hali
Sierra
Jeff
JT
Andrea
Ozzy
Caleb
Brad
Ciera
Zeke
Troyzan

(I was moving Michaela, Malcolm and Aubry about quite a bit between fourth and sixth, plus I was tempted to put Ciera second-from-last, but I think I'll stick with that for now)

Russell Swan already did it

Sandra did that :clap1:

Oops... fair enough. :joker: Although it's not the same but I guess close enough so Caleb didn't exactly "change the game" going out like that in a challenge.
