Always watch in order

How long is a series? :love:

LukeB 22-11-2015 04:06 PM

14/15 episodes a season

Jack_ 22-11-2015 04:06 PM

Yes. Everyone should watch Survivor, I bet 90% of this forum would love it if they tried it. It's like I'm A Celebrity/Shipwrecked but better.

Start with Cagayan cause that's the best recent season and then watch from the start.

Will. 22-11-2015 04:06 PM

ok, should I start with season 1 or is there a particular season I should start with?

LukeB 22-11-2015 04:07 PM

Season 1 ofc

Jack_ 22-11-2015 04:08 PM

You definitely need to start with a recent season so you know how the show works now, but the earlier seasons are just as important afterwards

Will. 22-11-2015 04:08 PM

Does anyone know where to watch, PM me?

Agree with this. Especially when there's returning players

Start with Borneo, both because it's a fantastic piece of television and so you can see the evolution of The Game. We're kinda currently stuck in a ****ty era where they feel the need to throw in some returning players every ****ing season, so watching out of order might spoil some things for you (if you care about that) and be confusing since you won't have a sense of character arcs from season to season.

SJDS is a better recent season than Cagayan tho (I love both)

That's not true at all. I started in order and grasped the format pretty quickly, plus it was better to see how the game evolves from start to finish rather thank knowing how it is now, then seeing it how was then, then back to knowing how it is now again etc.

This exactly. *SPOILER'ISH* The problem with watching from the latest is that if you go from a season full of idols and messy blindsides like Cagayan, or an all stars season where everyone already has developed and studied the gameplay like HvV, or a messy dramz season like SJDS to a classic season, you will consider it dull and uninteresting. Meanwhile when you watch from the start you appreciate the classic atmosphere and the developement of gameplay way more.

Macie Lightfoot 22-11-2015 05:34 PM

^ I agree with both of those posts. The earlier seasons are much more character driven while the modern seasons are more strategy driven, and it'd be a shame if you watched something like Cagayan and then went back and found the early seasons boring because they aren't jam-packed with strategy talk. Plus, the earlier seasons are better anyway.

I'm also gonna add that Cagayan is sooooooooooooo overrated
