QUEEN ASHLEY!

Just finished episode 3. Courtney's choking-walrus voting confessional was a scream <3

Love Courtney and Todd as a duo so far, and Ashley and Lesley were robbed favourites! Jean-Robert is a tad awful

Good season so far! Fairly entertaining, nothing too complex gameplay-wise though

Leslie Courtney Todd

Even Jean-Robert can be appreciated for the moustache-twiddling panto villain he is

[reece(:]

I actually like everyone in China except Denise and Dave

[TomC]

Omg that segment where James was laying into Peih-Gee and Jaime for their performance in the challenge was hilarious

[TomC]

Also, I must observe that the gameplay in this season is basic af. Serves Africa teas.

[TomC]

Ah yes, I'd forgotten the immunity idol existed. Never fails to spice up a season!

Todd is a mastermind <3 (But im also not happy cos I love PG, Jaime and Sherea and likes the idea of them being in the majority)

[TomC]

Yeah sherea was actually a bit of a birch at TC so it was mildly satisfying to see JR survive

I always had Sherea down as a thin-leaved deciduous hardwood tree

Oh MB how you've grown on me since my Survivor watch

[MB.]

I knew it would only take a bit of Amanda Kimmel for us to finally bond

China is a top tier season for sure. There's not one person who doesn't deliver in some way.

Yes! Upolu is possibly one of my favourite tribes ever.

Courtney winning immunity <3

I think Upolu is up there as one of the most complex tribes in Survivor history. Like, on the surface there was a clear group of insiders and outsiders and that's not exciting, but the workings of the in-crowd and the use of religion as a tool of unity and manipulation is just fascinating to me.

(in spoilers for Tom's sake and it spoils the F3 and winner)

Spoiler:

ESPECIALLY because Coach was the main person pushing it forth and he so thought it was going to ride it to the win, and then it all imploded in his face at the Final TC and Sophie, someone who has absolutely zero tolerance for bull**** and was placed on a tribe fueled entirely by bull****, demolished him. I remember reading something about how Coach left FTC somehow thinking he won (?!?!?!?!) and that just makes it that much more hilarious to me.

[TomC]

Eww I just feel my mind is so plagued with so many Survivor spoilers and I hate it Just ran through all castaways from Seasons 1-15 and realised I already know at least 12 people who are in HvV.

[TomC]

I wonder how the US public felt having to wait two weeks to find out what the ominous 'unfinished business' was for it only to be a reward challenge

[TomC]

Why is Amanda's arse always blurred out lol

[TomC]

A Denise win would have me shaken, please god no. However part of me wants to see Todd taken out just for the lulz even tho I like him

[TomC]

Omg I s2g if the vote and winner reveal is cut off again I will die

[TomC]

lol @ Denise thinking she'd have won

[MB.]

lol @ Denise in general

[TomC]

Just finished China. Thoroughly enjoyable season; outstanding cast (as well as being insanely likeable for the most part), lots of great moments and a very satisfying endgame. Honestly, that was my favourite F3 out of the first fifteen seasons. It was nice to have a return to what felt more like the 'classic' seasons of Survivor (1-7, I think that's what they're called lmao).

It's really interesting how Todd pretty much controlled the game from Day 1. It was intriguing how up to a point he literally controlled what the alliance did, but he got away with it because he was just so likeable. I think Amanda lost it when she started playing 'woe is me' - I actually think she was a really good Survivor player too.

Jean-Robert and Dave were great panto villains, the word panto being why they don't go in red; only truly awful people like Judd and Rocky go in red in my Survivor watches.

Courtney
Amanda
Peih-Gee

Looking forward to starting Micronesia tomorrow: I know Fairplay, Ami, Eliza, Parvati, Ozzy and Yau-Man return and I'm pretty enthustiastic to see all of them play again in a different setting.

Somewhat humouring sidenote: I just watched the vote count with Russian subtitles for fear of the winner being spoiled at the start of the reunion like it was with Fiji, but I went through it for nothing Really killed the tension
