Overall I'd say S35 > S34 = S33

S33 mainly sucked and the cast was super bland but had a few stars (well like 2) and the post-merge was watchable

S34 is fantastic for the first 6 episodes but then

Spoiler:

Sandra is voted out

and it's dire after that. Plus the editing is all over the place

S35 has a fairly good cast and has been edited well imo, but the post-merge has been a struggle so far

[TomC]

Okay this is back on! Shame Rachel was first to go in S33 <\3

[JerseyWins]

Season 33 >>>>>>>>>>

Season 34 actually had a better post-merge. (but it wasn't that good either)

The only thing good about the Survivor 34 pre-merge was

Spoiler:

Sandra, basically... the boot order was an absolute abomination (Sandra being a big inclusion of that of course)... it had a few decent tribal councils that's it.

A really good cast selection to begin with helped for sure but not so much when most of the best went out one after another.

[TomC]

This season is decent so far.

I definitely prefer larger tribes to the three tribes of six format they keep doing.

There's some nice storylines forming, but I'm as yet unconvinced about how interesting/likeable the cast are. Wasn't happy about the first two boots, but liked the Ep3 blindside.

Why has this Lucy person had no airtime?!

[JerseyWins]

She will have plenty next episode

[TomC]

Lucy </3 She could have been such an interesting contestant!

Not the three Asian women being the first women to go

The reddit WSSYW threads (I know you told me to stay away) say that #itgetsbetter in MvGX with the postmerge?

[TomC]

I thought MvGX was meant to be a game-heavy season? I feel we have actually seen a lot of personal stuff and character development in the first five episodes? With Michaela, David, Adam's mum's cancer story, Zeke, and others. Although tbf, we've barely seen anything of Sunday/Bret/Will/Cece

[MB.]

To be honest, the best advice where Reddit is concerned is to think the exact opposite of whatever they think

(you may end up agreeing with them on this one, but the exception proves the rule etc etc)

why do redditers have such different opinions to non-redditers?

I think it must be a genetic thing, there's no other explanation

Spoiler:

The winner of MvGX is basically an inbred Redditor so that explains their fondness towards that season

Part of what I love about this season. It actually has everything you could ask for and kinda sways from sentimental personal storylines to a heavy game-driven season over time. (but kinda goes back and forth throughout in that regard)

Well that's just false advertising

[Macie Lightfoot]

I found the attempts at character development to be pretty forced and contrived not to mention that we don't even get to know like a full half of the cast. It's pretty much a ****ty BBUS season that takes place on an island and once you make that connection it explains... a lot.

You're right

It actually has everything you could ask for and more.

Fixed!

[TomC]

Ong Michaela's blindside was so dramatic! Her and Jay staring each other down was tense. I actually quite like Jay? Michaela was great though, so she's a big loss. 'I'll get rich some other way'

There's no one I really love though?

Christ at 9 males, 4 females and all white

[TomC]

Mess not another woman down.

It's okay, Michelle kinda sucks.

Wills pretty annoying actually with his deep voice and Cochran like speech.

Aaaaand I'm going off jay now he's reunited with awful Taylor!

Hmm I'm becoming unconvinced by this season now. The cast just isn't really grabbing me.

[JerseyWins]

Yeah I kinda didn't realize or at least forgot how much of a woman-lynching season it is.

Jay is AMAZING though. And a decent amount of the males are good characters. This is when the gameplay starts turning up.

Oh and the best female is still there... Hannah

[MB.]

Jay and Ken are probably the best two in the cast, Taylor's fine, all of the other men suck

(Hannah also sucks -insert gif of Ariana Grande saying "it's equality" here-)

But Jessica Bland

I knew that MvGX boot order was quite woman-heavy at the start. In fact, I was surprised a man went so early when Paul was voted off. But this woman culling is literally like nothing I've ever seen in a RTV show.

I feel like Hannah's someone I could grow to like but... it's not happened yet.

Hmm I do really like Jay, but Ken's a bit dull, no? Looks good in his boxers at the challenges though x

The male cast isn't bad on paper, but it's just not delivering sadly.

Jessica's definitely one of my faves. I can totally see her going in the next few eps.

I know Adam wins and I'm totally envisaging a Adam/Zeke/David/Chris/Hannah F5 rn

Sunday shows promise but she's too UTR to even be an UTR queen atm.
