The time has come for season 42 of Survivor! This season was filmed back to back with season 41 so anything you hated from 41 will probably still be there! Joy! Survivor airs Wednesday, March 9th 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 22 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. Jeff said that these seasons are back to basics which we all assumed meant less twists and by golly wouldn’t you know it but season 41 was chock full of twists and stupid advantages galore and it was worse than usual but at least the people were cool They’ve said that they learned some lessons from 41 and will implement them in 42 but this aint my first rodeo Jeff, so you’re not fooling me. Supplemental Material
Glossary of Terms
Okay then, time for the cast! I’m too busy with life to do my former deep dives on everyone and post a bunch of snarky bullshit so just have a picture and something I found from their bio. If you want to read full bios then you can’t! Unless you click here! Pictures are bighuge if you click so beware! Chanelle Howell Is a food blogger, so likely won’t have much to talk about on this season Daniel Strunk This guy looks to be the goony ultra-Survivor-dork who will probably Jacob Derwin his way out (yes I know having this reference on deck makes me an ultra-Survivor-dork). Drea Wheeler I don’t know what a fitness consultant is but she probably posts pictures of herself doing air squats on Instagram I guess. Hai Giang All of his answers are so boring I can’t even make fun of it. ZZZzzz… Jackson Fox Evidently is only on Survivor because they lost a dare so no I’m not mad why do you ask? Also is (I think) our second transgender contestant. Jenny Kim I was on board until she talked about her EQ. Ever hear of EQ? No? Yeah because it’s nonsense. Jonathan Young Pet peeve is wearing shirts. Not even a joke. Just a fact about a weird weirdo bro. Lindsay Dolashewich Self-described “loud friend” with “an intense personality”. We have our woo-girl I guess. Her name also has “she-witch” in it. Lydia Meredith Can use vacuum cleaners but is terrified if anyone else uses one Marya Sherron A self-proclaimed mix of Angelina and Tony so this might be a legitimate crazy person so I’m here for it. Maryanne Oketch I legit think she could be really good at the game, assuming her energy doesn’t get the best of her. Mike Turner Another person who wants to play like Boston Rob, so he wants to get eliminated pre-merge twice. Omar Zaheer One of his is pet peeves is objectively the best part of “Friends”, Joey, so he obviously sucks. I will fight anyone who sides with this guy on this. Rocksroy Bailey Loves watching golf, so hours upon hours of boring nothingness on Survivor should appeal to him greatly. Romeo Escobar Said he wants to achieve a great Survivor historical moment like Rupert. Hopefully they get a shovel on their marooning. Swati Goel Her entire profile is incredibly obnoxious to read because she’s some type A super genius who never fails and always wins at everything. Her hero is also Elon Musk which probably explains the megalomania. Tori Meehan Another self-proclaimed “crazy and loud” blonde girl. Yay just what we needed! Thanks Survivor diversity initiative! You did it! Zach Wurtenberger I mean c’mon this guy is a goon right? Show yourself Zach. Step forward and be judged. And that’ll do it. Sorry for the super duper late thread but life is busy. SHOW STARTS THIS WEDNESDAY so hold on to your butts. Pick those ponies and poisons. Oh do this too if you want: Chili posted:Ah grumblecakes, the old thread is closed so I can't just quote this.

Excited to see how much of a mess Jeff Probst Presents: Survivorball 2 manages to be. Though 41 managed to be fun despite itself so hopefully casting will manage to offset Jeff's twist kink again.

I have quite a few Pony choices but I think I'm going to go Maryanne. She looks like prime 'pre-merge shock boot' material but given that my other gut instincts were Jackson (probably too good of a story to get to the end) or Jonathan (who's prime poison material but might be fun in an Angelina way) might as well. Poison... again, tempting to pick Jonathan but I'll probably go Tori.

The list is full of what seems like poison, it's tough to choose. Really tough between "afraid of vacuums" and "Musk fan." Pony: Rocksroy, I wanna hear that name all season long. Poison: Swati, can't wait to see what such a stable genius does after losing a challenge.

Ah grumblecakes, the old thread is closed so I can't just quote this. Hey! Would you like to play in a very low-effort survivor fantasy league! If you're interested head over to https://tribal-council.com/ and use join code: d98dd968-1741-4707-95f0-68b3c32f6186 to join the 12 other people who have signed up so far! I think the league holds up to 16 so there aren't many spots left, get in while you can! The point system is kinda neat, feel free to give it a read! Some quick things to note: There are times when you will be able to entirely redraft your team! I believe last season these moments were after the first episode and when the merge occurred. I imagine a swap would trigger a redraft as well. If there's a redraft you can pick as many new players as you like but when a player from your roster is booted, you lose access to that slot entirely! I will post here when redrafts are available and I'll post some scoring updates that seem interesting. Oh and if you're feeling extra confident about the power of your team and its potential to go the distance, go ahead and brag it about here. If you confirm confidence and you come in last place I will purchase you a survivor fantasy losertar. Chili fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Mar 8, 2022 |

I've seen Tori play in a game called Sequester. She's insanely bad socially and basically alienated herself so that she had to win challenges to survive but she was also very fun to watch.

I think it was Chanelle that also played in an ORG called Pandora Heroes vs Villains. I don't really know what that is but I guess a fake Survivor.

So I was reading Jonathan Young's bio and his hero is...Lex Luger? And describes him as a "Man of God"? Is there, like, *another* Lex Luger I'm not aware of?

I really enjoyed that first episode. The cast is much better than last year's and maybe it's Stockholm Syndrome but I'm into the advantages. The Spirit Halloween fake blood run was dumb in the best way and the new amulet advantage thing actually incentivizes gameplay. The medevac was weird. I can see from his POV why you'd like about your medication when you're so close to playing Survivor but Jeff letting him play knowing he'd have to pull him out was like an adult Make-A-Wish.

I was a little disappointed we didn’t get to see them scramble to lie about the mud and blood more. Hai even said to Lydia that the blood was his own, which seems really easily disproven if someone were to press him on it, but it never came up.

Torn between wanting Tori around to root against her, and wanting her out because she's an anti-vaxxer IRL. Bonding with nerds by talking about Harry Potter. Lmao
