Welcome, everyone, to season 41 of Survivor! We've had OVER A YEAR with no new US Survivor and finally we're back baby! Survivor airs Wednesday, September 22nd on CBS! Check your local listings. PAY ATTENTION TO THIS: Some basic rules, which should be no-brainers for pre-taped reality TV:
Now for all of the boiler plate poo poo for new viewers in case you’ve been living under a rock for the past 21 years. What is Survivor? Survivor is a reality show where a group of 16 to 20 or so contestants, from all walks of life, are stuck on a remote paradise and forced to live together for A typical Survivor season has three phases. Pre-Merge, Post-Merge, and Endgame.
This Season’s Gimmick This season is going to be only 26 days, shortened from the usual 39 and, per Jeff, will be brutally hard with no food rewards or given rations and require much faster gameplay due to the shortened schedule. We really have no idea what's to come from this season gimmick-wise, but Jeff has said that there will be less of the typical gimmicky stuff and just more old-fashioned gameplay, which should be great! The prize purse is back down to $1,000,000 from last year's 2...which is dumb and stupid considering how much money this show makes vs its cost, but hey I guess the million dollars is still something (despite inflation causing the 2000 equivalent to be $1,585,383). Supplemental Material
Glossary of Terms
Okay so enough of that, let’s get to the good stuff. This cast is all newbies so I don't have anything clever to say but here's pictures of them and something that might make them interesting or good tv or something I don't know. Brad Reese He's from a town named Shawnee, which sounds like Shonee, one of the most interesting AUS Survivor players. Also is tall. Danny McCray Ex-NFL player whose biggest pet peeve is lying. This should make him really good at Survivor. David Voce Wants to play the game like Russel Hantz, which means he's probably very cool and chill. Deshawn Radden His preseason answers are actually not bad, and I can't make fun of him for anything. Eric Abraham Going to have a hybrid playstyle of Richard Hatch, Wendell Holland, and Boston Rob. Will incorporate NO QUALITIES FROM NON-WINNERS Erika Casupanan Has been manipulative before she knew what manipulation was. So, is a sociopath. Evvie Jagoda Her answers to every question are so long my eyes rolled back in my head. Will probably never be able to succinctly address anything. This season's BB23 Kyland I guess. Genie Chen Doesn't look to be a fan, but biggest pet peeve appears to be people not wearing masks, which is going to be probably everyone on Survivor. Heather Aldret Has a passion for opossums, which is gross. Jairus Robinson Wants to play like some of the "great Survivor winners" like Fabio. Fabio. Liana Wallace Seems smart, good answers - can't pick on her because of her answers to the questions she got asked! Naseer Muttalif Didn't use a real toilet until he was an adult, aquadump 4 lyfe. Ricard Foyé Pet peeve is asking a question and then being ignored, which is pretty drat presumptive of a deaf guy. Sara Wilson Is quite confident she's the biggest physical, intellectual, and social threat ever to play Survivor. First boot material. Shantel Smith Hero is Xena Warrior Princess, and was in a gang! Sydney Segal - image is kinda nsfw, depending on where you are Wants to play a Natalie White game, so I guess be boring player who does nothing but sits next to someone retched. Also her press picture is basically softcore porn so not gonna show it. Tiffany Seely Says she is a "previvor" but gives no definition for this, so is probably insane. Also tries to use the phrase "situationships". Xander Hastings Is the token for CBS's new initiative to have someone with an X name in all of their reality shows. Thanks CBS for doing what's really important. Well I guess that's it. We get started in a few weeks after BB ends, so pick your ponies and poisons now. Here's some additional links to info about these people as it comes out. I haven't had a ton of time to make this OP due to work/family commitments so if you think it sucks too bad. https://parade.com/1255355/mikebloom/survivor-41-cast/ https://parade.com/1257947/mikebloom/survivor-41-tribes/

No subtitle is kinda perfect. Or maybe something like: Survivor S41: it’s on TV.

I wonder if Jeff is still going to give his same pregame speech now that it is 26 days instead of 39 days. Or maybe he'll change it up so they can keep the casual viewers in the dark about the show being 2 weeks shorter?

" Catchphrase Because that would be a weird and suspicious omission unless the whole format is different

I’m sure they’ll edit it enough to barely notice unless you’re a super fan.

This season gonna suck compared to Australian survivor. 26 days vs 49 days Not to mention all those people look like they got cast for the wrong tv show

I'll wait and decide if it sucks after I watch it if it's all the same to you

Pony: Deshawn, agree that his pre-season answers resulted in zero eye rolls or groans, A+ Poison: David, seems like a dick
|
# ? Sep 7, 2021 03:07 |
|
I guess I should give my pony/poison as well! Pony: Deshawn Poison: David Same as Big Taint! David just seems so arrogant from every video I've seen of him. So hard to tell from preseason press stuff they do because they're all using these canned answers that production pushes them towards, and they all sound the same. Hopefully week 1 we can get real insight into how they will play out.

Ugh everyone jumped on deshawn for pony which was my gut as well but let's mix it up. Pony: Naseer Poison: Xander
|
# ? Sep 7, 2021 22:38 |
|
I think Naseer struggles to make the merge but if he does, he's gonna be a huge threat so long as he downplays his 'story'. Xander is giving off major Drew Christy vibes.

I'm apprehensive about this season because of Jeff's weird decision-making and this cast seems kind of dull. But I'm still glad it's back. Pony: Shantel Poison: Sydney

If they really beat the hell out of them like Jeff is implying it should be interesting Having to get weirdos to make it interesting is to me a sign that the format was needing some kind of change

Do we know when this was filmed? I worry Jeff is gonna load it up with every sad piano music confessional about COVID he can find. He likes the sappy stuff way more than I do.

Personally, I could really do with absolutely 0 mentioning of covid.

The Bloop posted:Having to get weirdos to make it interesting is to me a sign that the format was needing some kind of change Oh, I don't know. I think the show started to falter when almost everyone they cast were recruited, and a large number of those were models/actors who didn't care about the game at all and were just there for a free vacation. The show started to get good again when they started casting fans. It's definitely a different show today than it was even 10 years ago, but it's better than it was for 5 years or so there.

I seem to remember it being around March and April.

quote:"The other change for Survivor 41 was on the creative side," says Probst. "And that started with a phone call with former player Mike White. Survivor fans know him as the guy who almost won David vs. Goliath, but he's also one of the most successful writer-producer-directors in Hollywood. In other words, he is a master storyteller." Thank you, Mike!

All-Stars is probably one of the ugliest pieces of mainstream television out there, but that's also what makes it incredibly fascinating IMHO especially after one has binged seasons 1-7.

I always liked how they basically created the fan favorite prize basically just to give Rupert 1 million bucks. It's even more funny because Australian Survivor did the same thing a couple seasons ago for a fan favorite
