Well the vote was 7-4-1-1 so it wasn't necessary. It was actually a complete waste when you think about what could have happened if Debbie used it this week.

[LemonJam]

President Sarah being wishy-washy as **** again

I find Sierra extremely dislikable from BOTH her seasons.

He can go before Bland and Sierror

Yassssss @ Debbie being blindsided. I know she's popular on here but I could just never warm to her tbqh.

Michaela has cemented herself as my series fave, a survivor LEGEND.

Debbie

Nobody can be shown being that over-confident, unaware and sickeningly self-assured on a Survivor episode and not also be shown being massively blindsided on the very same episode!!!

Highly, highly predictable but still very satisfying to watch.

Sierra next please.

The thing is I thought this too but every time the edit pushes strongly in one direction the opposite seems to happen... so this time I kept thinking "nah I feel like Debbie actually stays"... I think the over confidence from Debbie should've made me realize it would actually happen though. Also in hindsight, I should've realized Sarah/Zeke would be voting together and Zeke didn't seem too pro-Debbie but then again, a lot of times these edits don't make too much sense.

Yeah, i think they must have been told that the viewers were getting a bit fed-up with the blatant in-episode spoilers so i think they try to throw you the odd curve-ball in there to try and make you think they're not being so blatant but 99% of the time your initial suspicions end up being spot-on!

I still can't stop myself watching every episode of every new Season though!

So now that we only have four episodes left, what are our thoughts on this season so far? I think it's..... solidly okay. I don't think it's great (even good might be a bit of a stretch), but it's definitely watchable. The production values are similar to Cambodia and MvGX which is definitely annoying, but the editing is muuuuch better so it's making the whole thing bearable. Alliances are still appearing out of thin air and it's annoying (like, the show never did anything to explain Andrea and Cirie apparently being super close, and Brad and Sierra went from having like one or two scenes together pre-merge to suddenly being a two-headed tyrannical dragon ruling this game with an iron fist), but the edit is actually focusing on characterization as opposed to focusing solely on gameplay, strategy, and BIG MOVEZ!!! And just about everyone's had their moments to shine, which is nice. Troyzan's really the only one who it feels like he's pretty much been written off the show. Even Andrea and Aubry have had some moments in spite of their abysmal edits.

I think it's pretty good! It's benefitted massively from the right people going home early (except Sandra obviously and I like Tony but in the context of this season he would've been an airtime hog if he got any further).

[DouglasS]

I've surprisingly really enjoyed this season, I'm not massive on returner seasons, but this has been a good season with lots of good moments.

[MB.]

If it continues in the same vein as it has up to now (i.e. it doesn't just turn into Cambodia for the final few weeks), then I'd probably put it as a top 15 season

I've seen people calling it better than HvV, which I'm... not exactly sure about, but I'm glad I went into it with low expectations, because - aside from the similarities in production values that you pointed out - it's been fairly enjoyable and I can't knock a season which has a pre-merge dominated by Sandra and a Cirie-centric post-merge

[reece(:]

It's been a watchable cluster****

[Macie Lightfoot]

Mhmm, I think the boot order definitely helped. Ciera being a complete afterthought, JT continuing to discredit himself as a legitimate player, Caleb and Malcolm and Ozzy all getting ousted early and/or being underedited, actually getting six episodes of Sandra (and even more if she wasn't swap****ed)

[DouglasS]

It's definitely been above my expectations, as I was kinda expecting to be disapointed aha, but it really has been good. Even if the ending does end up being bad/the next few episodes, I can still say I thrououghly enjoyed 2/3 of the season meaning it will not be in my bottom third of survivor meaning its been a great season for me.

I'm also glad Aubry has had a smaller edit this season, as I really enjoyed her in her original season but still found her a little bit too overbearing/exposed, wherea shes been kinda UTR with some really nice/interesting moments [I was most worried about her being overbearing this season, but I still like her]

[JerseyWins]

I don't think it's bad but there have been a pretty large amount of boring episodes. (the first part of the premiere was actually very bad for a premiere, Caleb's boot episode, Malcolm's boot episode up until the TC, etc... the post merge has actually been pretty ok though but again nothing great)

I do agree that Sandra has helped out the season a ton though. Without Sandra's moments, the pre-merge kinda becomes atrocious tbh. This season is definitely worse than the past two seasons though. And it's hard to get over how bad the boot order has been.

[MB.]

But last season was Millennitrash vs. Trash X?
