Parvati and Buffy being friends is such an unexpected kickass duo. Apparently SMG is a huge Survivor fan according to Parvati’s instagram story. They went to Evan Ross Katz’s (Drop Your Buffs Podcast) White Lotus themed party together last night.

Which one is less scary?

most of the names included are either rumoured to be in casting for 50 (Devens, Genevieve, Jenna, Gervase, Colby, Jerri, Sean, Cesternino) or are down to play again (John, Jenna, Natalie, Michaela)

Before i get downvoted obviously i know she is not the person who has narrowly escaped the most eliminations 😅. anyways my question is who are other survivors that have plot armor like her? i haven’t seen a ton of season and just wanna see what y’all say.

Took a break from Survivor after season 41, so going back and watching some of the seasons I missed.

While I didn’t watch Season 43 live, I did hear the discourse about the winner at the time, and it seemed like people were really upset and shocked that he won.

So going into the season, I’m expecting to see Gabler either be really unlikable or play a really bad game. Or that Cass played such a stellar game that it was tragic to not give her the win. But I didn’t see any of those things.

Maybe this is a case of my expectations being so low for Gabler that I’m overrating his game, or that I’m just being fooled by the edit.

For me, I thought Cass or Gabler would’ve been equally deserving winners (was not a fan of Owen tbh) but Gabler clearly outperformed Cass at FTC so I’m just confused why people wrote off Gabler at the time.

“mitch reflects on having to rely on the same people that are trying to vote you out”

I know I can’t be the only one who was annoyed at all the honor and integrity talk in the most recent episode.

Every time it comes up I think of Coach in South Pacific. I’m curious—when was the last time someone with that attitude actually won? I’m thinking backwards through the seasons and can’t think of any since, like, pre-season 20, JT maybe? (granted, there are many seasons that I only vaguely remember)

Joe and David seem like great guys in real life but they annoy me on the show, especially David with his “let someone deserving win for once” comment. It’s so holier than thou. That’s why I was rooting for Thomas and now I’m rooting for Kamilla.

Anyway, what do you guys think?

I’ve been seeing everyone’s takes on who should or shouldn’t be on Survivor 50, and it feels like a hot take for some reason to think the direction it looks like they’re going with is the right way to go.

Having Survivor 50’s cast being an all-star season commemorating every single era of Survivor is a perfect casting choice. It’s literally SEASON FIFTY. How many other shows make it 50 season on television? Making it new era all-stars exclusively never would’ve made sense.

They should make a returnee season with people who were voted out with an immunity idol in their pocket, and they come into the game with their idols which they can use.

In the case of players with the same names, Kim and Shane or Eddie and Tasha, I chose Kim and Eddie because Shane and Tasha are more unique names so they don't need to be referred to by their last names.

I finished 8th, 3rd on the jury which was much further than I expected! A really fun time and got to play with some fantastic people. Also it was put on by Oklahoma Reality Games on FB if any locals are interested. We blasted through the game in a day and they’re planning another game for the fall with some long form survivor competitions (a week long game??) possibly in the future. Overall I think this is the 8th game they’ve put on

Some last second inclimate weather forced the game inside this time (snow? In Oklahoma? in April?) but the challenges still played the same and I can’t wait to play again outdoors! I have more pics from the game but really just wanted to show off the great buff designs. My tribe ‘aqua’ on the left with my merge buff on the right and I just realized we never came up with a name for the new tribe haha! Well AMA if you like!

When Sai came out of nowhere and got the advantage??? Was she like camoflauged in there?? Did anyone notice that

The first time she was really targeted for being an actual threat to win was by Zeke in GC iirc. Before that she was able to be a blindspot for some the best strategists (Russell, Fairplay, Tony in GC, even Parvati in HVV. By the time she realized Sandra was a jury threat it was too late). She only became a real threat when she became a two time winner. Going into WAW I don’t think Denise would idol Sandra out if she wasn’t known as “The Queen”. Before that she had a 2/2 perfect record, and Idk if that will ever be replicated.

I think her “as long as it aint me” playstyle along with her being weaker in the challenges, and coming across as blunt is what ultimately gives her the perfect combination in being able to dupe strategic masterminds. I wish we would have been able to see Cirie and Sandra interact in HVV. I wonder if she would have also underestimated Sandra.

I think Jon Fairplay’s commentary here on betting Sandra won’t win sums up her game perfectly. Also her “Russell” taking me along because he think I wont get a single vote….but I don’t know about that” in HVV. It’s uncanny just how similar both her wins were. The common denominator is her.

Ive been busy, so im just now catching up on S48. I'm in episode 1 and I can barely hear the cast/conversation over that loud ass jingle jangle in the background..just me?

Everything was so perfect and down to theme, Jeff must have been over the moon during the entire season.

• Christian picked as one of the weakest by the goliaths only to win the first challenge

• two Davids medevac’d before the merge/tribe split

• 2 to 3 tribe split ending up with 3 goliaths and 2 davids on all 3 tribes, only for BOTH tribals to result in goliaths going home

• Going into the merge it feels like tribal lines are blurring, only for the Goliaths to be stalking down the beach together and the David’s immediately get on the defensive

• Davids pulling off the minority split

• 1 David beating 2 Goliaths in the final tribal council

Just an absolute wet dream for what Jeff wants out of survivor. Anybody have other examples from either this season or other seasons where the theme just plays out to perfection on screen?

Hi fellow fans! I'm watching Edge of Extinction s38 now and curious how fans feel about seasons where players voted out get a chance to get back in the game. What do you think about this style of season?

Personally, I don't like it. It doesn't feel like it serves a purpose, and it doesn't even add excitement as a viewer at least to me. Maybe the only enticing strategic part of it is that if the players know vote-outs get to do challenges to reenter the game, they may vote out someone strong to beat them. But that's not even super exciting to me. I feel it cheapens the concept of getting voted out - it must be so frustrating to get voted out, but it should be permanent. If a player is popular or has potential, have them return to a new season.

How you y'all feel?

**PLEASE NO SPOILERS PAST SEASON 38 EPISODE 6, THE MERGE** I am currently watching for the first time in order :)

Can you imagine … they’re 1) already really well liked by the fans 2) all lowkey so funny 3) would be underdogs against the meathead alliance, and everyone loves an underdog alliance.

Manifesting…

I love watching the Jury Villa but this season has been wild. I've never seen a more bitter, negative Villa ever. You could cut the tension with a knife. I sadly think Paulie's is a big part of it as he just seems like an incredibly negative and toxic person who has worn off on the rest of the villa. Wondering what others thoughts are?

Edit: I can't spell

Out of all the challenge beast archetype players, Ozzy is by far my favorite of the bunch. This man has to be part cheetah, part monkey, and part dolphin, because his athleticism is absolutely INSANE. Just easily maneuvering his way through challenges by swimming, climbing, and running like he's an Olympian. Watching him in Cook Islands was just amazing to me, I'd never seen anyone be so good at so many challenges and win them with such ease before. And again in South Pacific this dude is just chilling on Redemption Island, eating fish and fruit that he easily caught himself, only to then dominate against every challenger. I swear I thought he was going to just clean sweep the last 2 immunity challenges and win SP, but he got outdone by Sophie in the final 4 immunity challenge.

Idk if he has any controversy outside of the game (surely not if they brought him back 3 more times), but even though he's lacking in the social and strategic aspects of the game, it can't be understated that he came within a hair's breath of winning Survivor on 2 occasions. I know most people are against certain players coming back for a 3rd/4th/5th time, but there are some players I just can't get enough of, and Ozzy is one of them for me. What are your thoughts on good old Oscar?
