Fast Luck posted:I know Australian Survivor does it mostly because they're trying to bleed as many TV hours as they can out of their taping, but the extra time really really works in terms of introducing all the players and sharing their stories. Not sure I agree on needing more challenges though! They're an important part of the game but I feel like we get all we need out of them. Actually I think the bit where Jeff explains how the challenge works is the most skippable part of any episode, it's not like it's hard to follow along with what they're doing out there. I actually think the international Survivors have made me realize the only good minimum runtime is 44 minutes. The 60-80 minute episodes are great when there happens to be stuff to show (premerge AU2016, postmerge AU2018 and almost all of AU2017), and are real slogs otherwise (postmerge AU2016, premerge AU2018, and ~80% of the NZ episodes). SA 2018 is the only international version I’ve seen to stick to a firm 44 mins and it’s also the only one that kept me glued to the screen every episode even in the slower weeks (of which there were many). The ideal format is Netflix style where the episodes can vary in length depending on what they have, but that’s pretty unrealistic for CBS unless they start posting extended episodes on CBS All Access or something.

The show actually vetoes picks they think are too obscure. You're basically only allowed to pick from either Survivor icons or people who have played very recently.

Which guy said they are like Parvati but the show vetoed it? James from Ghost Island? I was surprised they let Aubry and David joke around on it.

Some day I have to rewatch that season because I'm pretty sure I absolutely hated that guy when I binged through. edit: Then again the case for him is basically "Chris snapped and became a sociopathic evil serial killer in a great revenge tale" and i generally hate revenge movies. So I don't imagine I'd like him more on a rewatch. But maybe I'd respect him more. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Mar 3, 2019 |

The Bloop posted:Lol but the current complex challenges are great, but I miss separate reward challenges Same. I was actually thinking about rewatching some earlier seasons to see how they compare to the newer ones when I realized we are on season thirty eight. Then I started thinking about how many seasons I hadn't seen and it's only 5: One World, Marquesas, Thailand, Vanuatu, China so I might just go through those.

I like the more raw elements to the early season challenges. Like making the Survivors run through a jungle to find objects. Or the real early seasons where the entire challenge was just pushing a giant ball through the woods.

He was very entertaining but the Survivor 115 made him out to be the most intelligent ever. He played a bunch of very bad players against each other and convinced Twyla to poo poo talk her friends in the finals which was very good. I really liked his play and I would put him in my top 2-3 winners easily, though old seasons have the benefit of better storytelling editing so you know the people’s personalities a lot better.

Tribe swaps theoretically bust up dominant, boring tribes like people were expressing about Joe/Aubry's tribe and create more interaction with players which make loyal pagonging majority alliances less likely and more interpersonal reasons for people to flip. It doesn't always work out and I imagine people would be tempted to say the pagonging majority alliances days are over, but that kind of feels to me like "we introduced the Voting Act to stop bad stuff and it worked so now we don't need it". I'm sure there was a lighter metaphor I could have used but my head hurts and I'm drawing a total blank.

There's a bit of fun in the RNG of 'which tribe is gonna get the majority on the new tribes?', and having more character interaction is always good, since that's how we got things like the Brochachos. If they're not doing the swap at 18 into three tribes, it's either gonna be at 16 or 15, I wager. 17's a weird time to do it without exiling someone, and with EoE in play that might just clog up too much airtime. In unrelated news, there was a buzz over some Survivor sites about the size of Chris' package, which I hadn't even noticed but I went back, rewatched the episode, and dude is seriously packing.

Also, I'm assuming the lackluster spices vs. fishing kit option was blatantly there to encourage Ron to steal the fishing kit if they'd lost, in which case the other tribe would have gotten spices.

I don't think the other tribe would have gotten anything in that scenario.

I was hoping he was going to steal their flint in the first episode to deny them fire since his tribe already had it. Tonight is the last chance he has to use it, right?
