For me, the most jarring thing about revisiting the first few seasons is the fact that Jeff says next to nothing during challenges. Nowadays he narrates everything, calls out people who are lagging/struggling, puts comebacks into context, etc. Back then he was basically silent. Nothing but ambient sound and weird music choices.

Khanstant posted:Shocked at others when people casually say some poo poo you'd rightfully expect people to take issue with today. There was a LOT of casual homophobia that was played off for laughs in the early seasons. Dr Sean straight up says f*g in the first season. Boston Rob had a moment in season 4 when he's having an argument with John, and in a brief moment of silence he looks pointedly at John and asks something like, "Are you gay?" John confirms that he is, and Rob smirks, rolls his eyes, and walks away.

The time some people made a pee corner inside of their living-space-cave and having to have a tribe meeting about maybe not pissing inside the house but only a few people see whats wrong there.

I've started season 7 based on recommendations here and elsewhere and yeah the vibes are bad. The men suggesting the women (who they just met btw) flash their boobs to the local villagers to try and get free stuff, men hooting whenever a woman's clothes fall off during a challenge, rambling about manliness and laughing at Rupert making a skirt to wear. It is all pretty gross. Also this season is kind of wild in that so far, one tribe is just basically dying in the dirt while the other tribe wins every challenge, steals the little the losers do have, and chow down. And strangely nobody is even talking strategy at all.

Some really great characters, two even competing on the show 4 times total.

Guess the hardest part of watching old Survivor is having to be reminded what lovely things were still more or less socially acceptable even 15-20 years ago!

Well, I think one thing we've learned over the last 5 years is that there is a very large number of people in this country who not only think it's still socially acceptable, but even preferable!

Has uninterrupted/unedited footage of a challenge ever been released? Like from the moment the survivors walk up to the moment they all leave without skipping a moment?

No, it would take up the whole episode and then some. They arrive, they have a producer fully explain the rules of a challenge, each tribe/player gets a private period to ask questions, they get strategizing time, I THINK they’re allowed to examine the course — a lot goes on that wouldn’t make for good TV.

I don't remember seeing anything like this but I'd also be interested. Especially for any challenge other than the extremely boring "hold on to this pole for as long as you can"-style endurance ones. (I think they add worthwhile variance to the game, but they're television poison.) I remember Yau-Man saying that there's time to ask producers questions about rules before you start, both as a group and individually (so you don't give away your strategy). You aren't allowed to touch or otherwise examine anything before the challenge starts. And challenge equipment frequently breaks, at which point everyone has to freeze in place while the crew fixes it.

There was that time in Panama where I think it was Aras and his tribe lost a puzzle challenge, and Aras insisted that they were missing a piece. Jeff got pissed and called him a sore loser or something, but Aras insisted they check. Sure enough, there was a piece missing. If I remember correctly, they reran the challenge, and Aras's tribe ended up winning. I think. That discussion was all off camera though. I think.

btw I retract all my theorizing on Xander being brought into a new alliance with Evvie/Liana because vocce said in his exits that Evvie didn't get back to camp until a few minutes before Tribal Council. so if true, the vote was stupidly on Voce instead of Xander in large part because there was no time to talk Tiffany out of it or set up anything else.

This makes a lot more sense on why Evvie didn't drop Tiffany then yeah. I can't imagine ever playing with someone that paranoid so early in the game.

Each player gets 20 votes at the start of the game to last the entire game. Votes can be bartered with, traded, etc. Maybe won in rewards and used as currency for survivor auction 2. As 1, but each player gets 0 votes and all the blank parchment is scattered throughout the woods like immunity idols 3. As 2, but the parchment isn't blank and players must find the vote for the people they want to vote out. Some fake votes will be in the woods also that have peoples' names misspelled that do not count 4. As 1, but you get 5000 votes. But the parchment is edible and votes are your only food source 5. As 1, but you get 50000 votes, all trees are removed from fiji and votes are your only shelter and firewood

Survivor Minecraft players need to tear down trees or reeds to make pulp for paper and must individually craft voting parchments, along with having to mine for flint and ore for knife, pot, etc.
