Also, looking through the pictures of the cast's trip to Las Vegas (which mostly involve Zeke Doing Things and are therefore mostly painful), can we just appreciate Kristie from Ausvivor somehow managing to work her way into every one of them

This is not even true whatsoever. And this is *NOT* me being a dick, this is me saying that you should probably give this show a chance (maybe a few of the earlier seasons) because you're misunderstanding its entire premise.

But yeah re David I like that he's a strategist but in real life I think his personality would annoy me too much. Then again, Ken reminds me most of myself and he's friends with David so it may be a different sort of thing in person!

Also finding out Figgy is a superfan Still don't like her much though
</3 I was quite looking forward to seeing if we have same survivor opinions other than Adam,Ken and Hannah. but I know you are a busy person and there's a lot of seasons to watch.

David can be really annoying but he's been great to watch for me but wouldn't want to socialise with him because I probs get annoyed.

I'm so surprised at how much I love this season. I've tried to get into survivor a couple of times before but this really is the season for me! Adam, Hannah and Ken

"the lack of gameplay compared to big brother and the over-reliance on competitions for success"

Big Brother has zero gameplay compared to Survivor, it's keep in a big group, keep under the radar, suck up to the HoH, all agree beforehand who is going so it doesn't upset the house, unanimous votes as people are so afraid, few blindsides even. How anyone can say Big Brother has more gameplay is truly beyond reason.

And competitions are very important in Big Brother, doubly so than Survivor considering the lack of gameplay.

I think it's not so much that survivor requires less gameplay it's more that we as viewers can't really understand all the intricacies of the game in survivor like we can in big brother which makes it less enticing for me to watch in terms of gameplay if that makes sense

so much of playing A Good Big Brother Game comes down to like... having yourbball roll into the right slot of some ****ed up carnival game that's probably rigged against you in the first place.

I think that´s because of the lack of live stream in survivor which prevents viewers from seeing some of the important strategy sessions/game talk before the final vote which lead to surprising votes sometimes unlike in BB which people can see most of the game talk if they want to because it has it, making it usually easy to know well ahead of time who is going each week.

I'm late to the party, but I have to say that I actually enjoyed this season.

Not many seasons of Survivor are able to engage me on a week to week basis, but Millenials vs. Gen X had a good flow of excitement throughout its episodes. It seemed bleak to begin with, and then it got better and better. I didn't like Adam so much to begin with, but I don't hate him as a winner. I thought Hannah deserved it more and was shocked that she didn't get a single vote, as I thought her effort at final tribal council was great.

Cast rankings:

Hannah
Michaela
Jessica
Zeke
David
Bret
Ken

Michelle
Sunday
CeCe
Lucy

Jay
Will
Adam
Chris
Taylor
Rachel

Paul
Figgy
Mari


I'm excited for Game Changers.
