TANIA IS A ****ING SCREAM holy crap

She's like a mix of Debbie Wanner and Audrey Middleton <333

[Headie]

I really enjoyed that premiere, Survivor SA always seems to start off strong so hopefully it will continue for the duration

Spoiler:

Disappointed with Lee-Ann going home but out of the two options I'm glad See Pei (you SEE it you PAY for it!) stayed

Definitely think the blue tribe are going to get tedious to watch though, certainly my least fave of the three tribes now that one of the two decent ones has gone, I hate that the injured guy (still learning names lol) wasn't even considered for the boot option simply because he was a guy - they're talking about physical challenges etc. and they literally gave a guy with a sprained foot the idol to make sure he stays

Tania is an absolute icon already though, I'm rooting for her over anyone else, whichever tribe she's on this season I'll be rooting for!

Laetita is gonna be out as soon as she goes to tribal but she's a cute little character, I hope she does well.

Tania, Seipei, Laetita, Ting-Ting and the guy who's name I've forgot (Matt? the one who wasn't here for being in Rocco's alliance) are my early faves.

If you need any further encouragement to watch this season:

Starting with the Ta’alo Tribe, there’s only one person we really need to talk about here. It’s Tania, the 51-year-old immigration consultant, marijuana enthusiast, and self-proclaimed five foot two “********** giant!” who is pretty much the South African Debbie Wanner. This whole tribe’s story focused so much on her to the point where I’m willing to rename the tribe “Tani’alo” until she’s no longer on my screen. She does start off on the right foot by entertaining her younger tribe with her big personality and eccentric humor, but things quickly fly off the rails when she starts alienating herself by randomly going off alone and telling too many tall tales when everyone just wants to sleep.

Not only is Tania supposedly an amazing rock climber, but she was also a rafting guide for four years and had a bank robber for a dad who became a local legend and almost had a statue erected in his honor when he destroyed all the checks that would force the citizens to pay taxes.

the 2nd boot was spoiled on the show's IG

Episode 1

Spoiler:

First of all, Tania is a LEGEND! She is hilarious and so fresh, I just love her.

Lee-Anne going is kind of sad, but she also made me kind of depressed?? All she really talked about was Nicole, she was a bit obsessed. Plus, I am glad that Seipei stayed over her. Not really liking this tribe too much. Seipei is good, and Nicole + Damien/Dante (injured guy) are alright but the other three are bland and somewhat annoying.

Tania’s tribe was amazing purely based off of her. Her bringing in Ting Ting as her partner was cute. Her flipped on Meryl in .2 seconds was funny. Her stories, her jobs, her lifestyle, BRILLIANT. She is far above the rest of her tribe but Ting Ting and surprisingly Jacques are pretty nice characters as well. Cobus seems like he will try to take Tania down so he can GO! The other three weren’t shown that much.

The third tribe is probably the calmest so far. Laetita is a gem but it’s nearly a fact that she is going home next episode </3. Rocco might be the most beautiful human to ever exist, and I actually like his personality so far too. Laetita being Rocco’s mom’s name <333. The rest of that tribe is meh to me so far but it’s only been one episode so that is fine.

So my early faves are Tania, Seipei, Laetita, and Rocco!

Episode 2

Spoiler:

Paul somehow going even though he found an idol in the first episode <333

I actually really like most of the green tribe now, Seipei, Nicole, Damien, and even Steffi I like.

Tania is still legendary. If all Cobus is going to do is hate on Tania, then he can go!

Screaming that Laetita is still in, I know her tribe hasn’t lost but I just can’t get over her not going first or second

[Macie Lightfoot]

Finally watched the premiere and WOW we stan Tania and Nicole and Seipei and Steffi. Mike and Jacques don't even seem that bad for people who will be Big Players in the long-term? I'm not fully on board with Laetitia rn mainly bc she didn't really do much in the premiere and her accent is ****ing impossible to understand honestly.

As for Lee-Anne... she kinda made me sad and uncomfortable? It's definitely cruel of production to put her on the same tribe as Nicole but the girl needs like... therapy, not Survivor. She just seemed desperate and had too many hangups about Mrs. South Africa and the show just triggered her too much.

But honestly the only thing I care about this entire season is that Tania does not get voted out, so when the riggage was clearly put in place for her this ep I absolutely loved it Just a shame Ting Ting had to go at her expense. Would've been amazing TV to see Cobus blindsided out with an idol.

Glad there's a tribe swap next ep as pretty much all my faves are in the minorities on their tribes right now

[starry]

that tree mail 'nowhere to hide' was pretty funny, clearly poking them about the tribe dynamics

The preview for next week looks like Seepei and Tania might team up as well!!!

Survivor SA: Island of Tania ep. 4:

Spoiler:

I'm not sure how exactly this show has managed to make me feel sad about tribes being broken up four episodes in, other than allowing each episode a more liberal runtime (and by 'tribes' I pretty much just mean original Sa'ula), but the U.S. version needs to start doing whatever this one is doing in that regard immediately. I mean, Kama were intact for more or less the entire pre-merge and I didn't feel a thing when they splintered! Do that challenge!

Otherwise, not-so-Purple Durăo seems to have emerged as a contender for the least telegenic reality TV contestant of all time. His confessionals feel more like hostage videos

[starry]

I read Tania has dual nationality: British-South African. She was born in South Africa.

Episode 3

Spoiler:

Tania surviving <3333

But Jacques is so ****ing dumb, he could’ve saved Ting Ting.

Happy that Tania gets to choose her tribe, the riggage <3

I really like the green tribe now, was so happy when they won!

Ep. 5:

Spoiler:

In the space of one episode I've completely changed my mind on Durăo. Monotone king Losing the fake idol he was going to play just to be petty in the ocean immediately before Tribal Continuing this season's trend of the attractive men not being awful people

Bye Felix!

Spoiler:

Tania, Seeipei and Laetitia all making it to Episode 6 is honestly a scream tho If they all make it to merge I'll howl

Black Widow Brigade who?

[Headie]

I just found out Cobus is a gay if anyone cares!

(my gaydar is so bad when it comes to Survivor alol)

...bless (I think the confessional he gave about fancying Nico might have given that away)
