Not to sound even more depressing, but I have literally left my Redemption Island watch on a six month hiatus. I stopped right before the finale, but I am planning to get watching seasons 21-26 properly. Then I'll be caught up with every single season in time for Game Changers.

That is... not in any way, shape, or form a direct attack against you :conf: Survivor's themes have been a complete joke for years now, and it's laughably absurd how Jeff Probst acts like he's enacting out a revolutionary social experiment when he's just coming up with random ways to arbitrarily divide the tribes (in this case, probably because he read up on Occupy Wall Street or something.) Like, there's no way we are supposed to take the idea of "no collar" seriously because it's not a real thing.

It seems like you're just upset that people are being negative about the season you're currently watching and you want us to stop, but that's not how opinions work. You're enjoying a season that most people dislike, good for you. It doesn't make you a victim.

Troy, when you make direct attacks on people, do you use the letter 'u' or the word 'you'?

My favorite thing about the end game of Redemption Island (or rather, the thing I hated the least?) was when the show clearly ran out of people to edit as adversaries to Rob and tried to sell Ashley as his main opposition in the eleventh hour :joker: It was completely inauthentic and a hilarious byproduct of Survivor always feeling the need to be suspenseful even when the end result is painfully obvious.

Also, what are our thoughts on Amber as the original Ometepe girl?

EspeonBB 02-01-2017 05:28 PM

Mike and Shirin were the only people I liked in Worlds Apart

Dan, Will and Rodney :yuk: Some of the worst Survivors ever

*puts feather in my hair* 'u' because Millennials and No Collar are apparently the same thing (as are Gen X and Blue Collar???)

I feel like I would understand that Amber/Ometepe reference if I actually remebered what happened during Redemption Island :p

It was such a mess, wasn't Ashley considered to come back for BvW as well?

I love how Jen and Shirin's friendship turned around! I don't know but this season is still so gripping for me. Mike is such a great dude.

You've made it far enough in the season to probably also be confused why Hali [likable enough girl, but many better survivors to pick from] and Sierra [just why in general] have been casted for another season.

All of us are also confused :laugh:

Macie Lightfoot 02-01-2017 09:03 PM

Sierra's actually one of the people I'm most looking forward to, thank you very much.

JerseyWins 02-01-2017 09:07 PM

Yeah, very random Worlds Apart choices for Game Changers. :joker:

Joe & Shirin made perfect sense for returns. Jenn would've made so much more sense than Hali.

Is Rodney too controversial to bring back or are they just waiting / or he doesn't want to come back? I feel like Game Changers would've been a solid time for him to return just because he played the game in kind of a unique way.

Also I'm surprised Mike hasn't been brought back yet seeing as he was basically the focal point of Worlds Apart and wasn't even really involved at all in the backlash on humanity from what I saw watching afterwards.

Braden 02-01-2017 09:08 PM

I'm not confused [/NickyMaxwell]

reece(: 02-01-2017 09:09 PM

Free spirited Hali who was doing the Lord's work trying to save Nina :love:

reece(: 02-01-2017 09:10 PM

Rodney must NEVER return! Know that

The thing I love most about Hali and Sierra coming back is that Max gloated on Twitter (many many months ago) and told several Survivor fans he is was arguing with that there was no way that the likes of Dan and Rodney would not be returning, and if there was ever a returnee season they would be the first people asked back because of what they brought to Worlds Apart.

Cut to Game Changers and we're about to watch the two most inoffensive cast members from that season play again :p

Not to gloat myself, but I genuinely am really excited for both Hali and Sierra.
