All of the above, and I also couldn’t stand the way she told Jenna - who’s mum was dying of cancer - that she was being too miserable that it was becoming “a cancer to the tribe”

Finished All-Stars. I have mixed opinions on the season, it’s not one of the best by a long shout and some of the episodes were a chore to get through but overall I actually liked the cast on the whole. Rob proposing to Amber at the reunion before the votes were read and Jeff all like ‘no offence to the seventeen other tribe mates but this was Rob’s season!!!!!’ (why does he have such a hard on for him?). Probably the most bitter jury of all time too lmao what a mess. Alicia, Lex and Tom came across horribly.

Rankings:

1. Jerri
2. Shii-Ann
3. Richard
4. Rupert
5. Ethan
6. Sue
7. Rob C
8. Jenna L

Vanuatu is fantastic and so much better than AS so enjoy that if you’re watching it next

[Daniel-X]

I started Kaoh Rong next as I’ll probably just continue my old season/new season watch order (it keeps it feeling refreshing I think because old school survivor and new school are so different.) I watched the first four episodes back in 2016 when it aired and Alecia was the delightful underdog I remembered loving at the time ‘we’ve got an embryo’, ‘I’m a mental giant’, when she stood not even picking up any puzzle pieces in a challenge, when she was literally running after Jason for the idol

I REALLY hope she plays again some day, they need a pre-merge boot series for all the forgotten faves like J’Tia, Alecia and Ghandia !

[Daniel-X]

Other than that, it’s off to a pretty decent start but I get the impression it’s a slow burner. Don’t have any other solid favourites as yet but a few have potential.

The Caleb medavec episode was also one of the wildest I’ve ever seen, wow.

[Daniel-X]

Down to F7 with the Scot boot episode airing last. I’ve got to say I’ve found this season a little overrated so far tbh. It’s been decent but I certainly don’t think it’s one of the best ever, I’d probably rank it in between HvsV and Marquesas atm out of the seasons I’ve seen.

Aubry is my favourite by far but I do really like Cydney too. Joe and Michele have their moments but they’re too UTR (Michele has a bizarre edit for a winner) and I think Tai is vastly overrated, but I do kind of like him.

I think Debbie was really overrated too, sorry! She had her moments but nowhere near the legend she’s hyped up to be.

[Matthew.]

I just finished Kaoh Rong too! I think it really benefits from following Worlds Apart and Cambodia tbh. Worlds Apart is pretty mean-spirited with not many people to root for and Cambodia is extremely strategy-based and you don’t really get to know anyone any more than you did on their original seasons apart from a few people, so with Kaoh Rong being more upbeat and having more likeable people it shines brightly if that makes sense? I still think it’s a great season though

Yeah I can understand that, maybe I would’ve appreciated it more if I did watch in order nevertheless I will agree it’s a good series, I just was expecting it to be a little better.

[Macie Lightfoot]

alol if you’re already not feeling Debbie too much just wait until Game Changers

[Daniel-X]

Finished Kaoh Rong! Overall I thought it was a decent series but not one of my favourites. The cast were pretty good but Alecia going so early was a massive disappointment, if only she’d made a tribe switch and could’ve found a way in . I’m content with Michele winning even though her trajectory towards the title was really odd in the edit I’ll probably go onto Vanuatu next.

Rankings:

1. Alecia
2. Cydney
3. Aubry
4. Peter

Enjoy it

[Daniel-X]

I’m three episodes into Vanuatu and Eliza

What a HILARIOUS bratty weirdo I adore her!

[Daniel-X]

Eliza episode 4 after being blindsided by Lisa: ‘If she we’re gone tomorrow I would be thrilled she REPULSES now’ ‘she’s a total BITCH’ and all the eye rolls/bitchy side comments I CANT

Edit: Twila is also equally as brilliant TV , loving this season so far.

I love this season and cast so far! So underrated

[Daniel-X]

Oh my god @ Ami’s trolling of Scout after the Leann blindside. I’m SCREAMING

‘Hands off that’s ours! Get your own damn blanket!’

Ami has been a delight this episode (and all season long) and I’m gutted she’s about to get the boot (it’s just too obvious I think ). What an iconic survivor bitch

[Matthew.]

Ami Glad you’re enjoying this season, it’s so good

An underrated classic for sure

It’s basically just girl power gone wrong and it’s so much fun to watch.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Ami is EVERYTHING she's such an epic villainess holy **** it's unreal

[Daniel-X]

And yet she’s still so likeable and rootable!

She’s probably in my top ten atm with Eliza in my top 20.

[Daniel-X]

Finished Vanuatu! A very underrated series I think (a large portion of the cast i.e. the men are fodder I will concede) but the female domination is iconic and makes for great viewing. There’s plenty of drama too, nearly every episode I think had at least one argument. Chris is an okay winner and did play a good game but I wish a woman did the win series after the girl power theme.

Rankings:

1. Ami
2. Eliza
3. Twila
4. Mia
5. Julie
6. Scout
7. Chris
8. Lisa
9. John K
10. Rory
11. JP
12. Leann
13. Dolly
14. Chad
15. Bubba
16. Sarge
17. Brady
18. Brook

[Macie Lightfoot]

I agree at Vanuatu being underrated and I'm glad you enjoyed it! That Ami/Scout/Eliza/Twila cluster is just what dreams are made of and the fact that they all made it so far just elevates the season beyond belief.

Such a good season. I do agree that there’s just a little too much fodder in the cast for it to be the perfect season but then again, I also think that just speaks to the power of Twila, Ami, Scout, Eliza and I’ll throw Rory in there too, because imo they all really made this season what it was

[Daniel-X]

Yeah the season would be nothing without Twila, Ami and Eliza (I actually think Scout is a little overrated and boring at times but she’s cooky enough and does have some good moments) but those three are all so compelling to watch and the fact that Eliza and Twila somehow make the final?!?!
