I could only name about 5/22 of the castaways left so far.

Is this worth watching and if so where's the best place to watch it at?

Yeah, it's great so far and looks like it'll be a promising season - best would be to either torrent it or use the streaming links on Inside Survivor's Facebook page

That raccoon's had more airtime than Tegan

(actually I think the edit has been surprisingly well-rounded considering only two out of 24 have no confessionals yet, but that won't get in the way of a cheap gag)

[Headie]

^I think I'd be enjoying it more if it was easier to differentiate people tbh, like everyone just seems to blend into one for me other than the big characters who have been given the most focused airtime

[AarynGriesfan]

Watched both episodes I thought they were both enjoyable. A little bit of an old school feel to it which was cool.

Like who? It's nothing new for Survivor to prioritize a few personalities for storyline purposes, and the one's who've been quiet now will have their time, especially considering there are still 20-something episodes left. The two who were voted out were both big characters and tribe divisions have already been made apparent and more importantly, interesting. There are lots of different stories already beginning to form (Kristie's mental state and paranoia, Peter's physical state and potential quit, Sam being distrustful of women, Aganoa turning on Evan, Flick and Brooke's power alliance, Kate's OTT positivity, Nick taking on and possibly regretting his tribe leader role, Conner nearly killing himself, Kylie's kids, Phoebe & Rohan (shipping it tbh), I could go on), and that's just two episodes... yeah, I get that 24 contestants is a lot to watch and get to know, especially considering the lack of diversity which is one of my few bugbears with this season so far, but when you compare it something like Samoa where only two or three people got any real content all season, I don't understand the complaints?

Here's the confessional chart, which Tegan and Brooke (who received like half the questions at TC anyway) aside is relatively balanced

I haven't watched episode 2 yet I am so sorry darling MB. I will watch, erm, Friday probably

[MB.]

You'd bloody well better m8

I downloaded the first 2 episodes of the new Season earlier but haven't had a chance to
watch them yet.
I'm very hopeful though! I find Australians far more likeable than Americans on the whole (or the Americans they have on Survivor at least!).

I even enjoyed last year's Season of Survivor South Africa more than the US one. I'm gutted it wasn't on this year.

[BBUKAUSFAN]

first 2 episodes where awesome i love how we get so much camp life and getting to know how the tribes are working early on.

no favs yet but they will come.

[Samm]

watched the second episode and I really really like this, as people have said already I like how it's not all focused on gameplay and I actually like most of the cast only know a few names though lol

Sue, Kylie, Flick, Brooke, Kat, Kirstine, Barry and Zac Efron I think Evan and Peter are the only two i'm not so sure on

The cast was much more likeable than a normal US cast

Looking at the first two episodes I liked the first much more. It was a good facedown between the main two combatants, even though I would have liked Des to stay. Both had some focus through the episode though he had more. At the tribal we heard little from him in the edit, and that did signal to me that he was going. The men didn't seem to consider the probability of the women's alliance that much. Would have liked both to stay even, it seemed a good rivalry.

The second episode I didn't get that much. Bianca was getting built up as an interesting under cover contestant and then suddenly she's gone. Was she even the main one behind splitting Brooke and Flick or was it Kylie? I wasn't concentrating because it kind of came out of nowhere, maybe the editors could have prepared it more in episode one.

So two in a row who we've been told what their strategy is and then they've gone. Des was a bad player it seems (but funny!), yet it's nice to have someone who you can follow their stategy (at least if they have some charisma). This does happen in the US version, Russell and Tony to name just two. And in this case I can't say many members of this second ep elimination tribe look very interesting. This Conner guy was one of the underwhelming intros, in his case 'a passage to manhood' (the other weak sounding ones including a mother missing her children, and another who wants to play 'nice'). And there's another guy (seems a bit boring) who doesn't even want to be there.

[Headie]

PS: How did you find filming? It sounded like a looong shoot.

JL: The contestants were there for 55 days and I was on the island for 68. It was unbelievably tough. I really was not prepared for it at all! Our schedule is even tougher than the American one. They’re 39 days, we’re 55 days. They’ve got about 13 episodes, and we’ve got 26 episodes.

Mess @ 26 episodes. There'll probs be lots of filler eps with no tribals now

Returnee twist teas

[MB.]

Des ha redemption

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Apart for Flick, Cat and Connor I have no idea who the **** anyone else is. Way too many, they should have cut it down to 18 castaways.

[MB.]

Bad news for anyone who's planning to catch up: Ten have rescheduled it to air three times a week from next week, with an extra episode on Tuesdays (this'll just mean it'll run for fewer weeks in total, rather than them pulling an extra twelve or so episodes out of thin air... thank god)

If you only know who three of them after two episodes are then that's your fault for not paying enough attention rather than anything else :/

Anyone know how this is doing ratings wise?
