Jessica Bland can kick rocks as far as I'm concerned!

Jessica </33

She was probs my overall fave from the final 10. Really felt for her.

That TC was so intense with the squabbling over whether to draw rocs!

F9 Rankings: Jay > Ken > Hannah > Sunday > Bret > Adam > Zeke > Will > David

The bottom 4 really do suck

Also how do they have 9 remaining with three episodes left?

With great difficulty, that's how (i.e. because the people who make this show are incompetent)

Ms Bland was robbed

I am actually kinda shook that I agree with Jersey on something.

Jessica Bland is an apt name

[TomC]

It's testament to the season that she was my fav!

WA really aged well on me And I liked it during my first watch. It's definitely in my top 5 post-S20 seasons, and it puzzles me how negatively it's received?

Having 6 in the finale is wrong (

****in ew. 4 is more apt.

5 is perfect even if it's down to a final 2 - since anyway there's less to show for a F3 TC situation. It should always be 5 for the finale IMO. I didn't mind 6 for MvGx though.

[MB.]

It should always be a four-person finale with a final two and that is that on that

[TomC]

Completely agree, MB.

My goodness, bar the fake idol, this finale is such a snoozefest.

This season just feels sooo dull somehow.

[MB.]

And yet certain sections of the fanbase by which I mean Reddit (and, by the looks of things, Jeff Probst and the rest of the production team) think that this season is the perfect model for Survivor to aspire to moving forwards

Probably because you don't get to know 2/3's of the cast

The MvsGx premiere is definitely the worst of them all.

The thing is, there's nothing really to aspire to. It's completely beige.

But they all realise it's just a game and they all get along and none of them are bitter or have hard feelings!!!!

Ugh. I understand the term 'game-bot' now. This endgame is so emotionally vapid compared to your average season.

[MB.]

There's personal content in MvGX, don't get me wrong, but it's so bland and shallow and barely meshes with any of the heavy strategy and resumes and #bigmoves that we're otherwise presented with that it all feels a bit... redundant?

[TomC]

Millennials vs Gen X
Ohmygod this season ended up sucking quite badly. I did rather enjoy the pre-merge and there were a couple of good episodes in the post-merge. There were some good character moments, and the strategy was easy to track in the pre-merge. But the character development just didn't fully form, and it felt like we were left with a lot of dregs in the last three episodes. That finale was truly awful.

Me ranking more than half of the cast in the orange (you're a bit annoying///you're non-existent//I really don't like you very much) bracket says it all really.

This season has no standout moments, and that's the bottom line. Combine that with gameplay which in my opinion hasn't nearly as 'evolutionary' as they keep telling us, and an extremely beige cast (where are the love/hate characters?) and you have a FLOP!

I may need a cuple of days but I think MvGX is a bottom 10 lock when I do my rankings.
