Heidi disappeared for a while pre-merge, but has been highly visible for the last two episodes. Lauren's definitely purpler, by dint of getting basically no confessionals ever, and I'd wager she's not long for the game. I've been watching Australian Survivor recently, so maybe my standard for 'purpling' has gotten out of whack. In AS, someone will show up in like episode 10 that I swear I've never seen before.

I still remember from one season there was a woman named Sam I think who apparently was well positioned in her original tribe and even made it through to a swap before getting voted out. Never got a confessional  In BvB there were those twin sisters too, almost never showed up and they made merge. That level of purpling is pretty unconscionable

I'd noticed Sam for, uh, reasons, but it wasn't until after the swap I realized Simon and Shaun were different people or that Hannah and Casey existed. A side benefit of the modern US diversity initiative is I don't have to try and distinguish between 3-4 different blonde women every season.

I could be mistaken, but it looks like Andrea is in the new season of The Other Two, a great comedy show which has made references to Survivor in the past https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n86Kx2Sy4w

Zach from 42 is using the Twitter Blue Chaos to impersonate Carson and I find it more tolerable than Carson's usual self-promotion https://twitter.com/zachwurt/status/1650569076245159977

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-amplify-winning-survivor-wasnt-the-games-biggest-hurdle/quote:I was, for the most part, invisible for the first half of my season, appearing minimally on screen, which led to many fans removing me from winner contention early on. While I was fortunate not to receive what fans call the “villain” edit, my “come-from-behind winner” edit still managed to confuse both me and the fandom. After watching each episode I’d wonder, why didn’t I show up much? Was I not good enough? Were the powers that be unhappy with me as the winner? Interesting piece by Erika (s41 winner) on visibility, race, gender and 'the edit,' in today's newspaper.

Similar, if less severe, edit problem though. I said it at the time and I'll say it again, if you edit your winner to have a smaller edit than a winner who purposely gave production as little to work with as possible, you need a different job.

Maryanne was honestly pretty present. She intentionally talked about her strategy since the merge even when she wasn't actively making moves. Even things like using her emotions when giving up immunity for rice. People like Omar and Mike were obviously much more front and center, but Maryanne wasn't invisible. Heck, she ended up having the second most confessionals of the season (Mike had the most). Omar did have more before the finale, but I think that's fine as a 'last major hurdle' kinda deal.

Jaime's fake one that they both thought was real. I was really hoping it would have been played. A bit surprised it even made the show.

This episode was fine except for more jerking off about idol hunting, and the stupid rice negotiation that the cast all saw coming from a mile away (just like everything the cast sees coming and tries to play around). Those two things took up a huge amount of time on the show, though. They even had some actual social interaction and further tied that into Carolyn's gameplan. By now there's no possible way anyone above age 14 could miss that Carolyn is the Main Character Of The Season. Editing tried its best to embarrass Jaime with the fake idol but thankfully nobody ended up playing it. She seemed as paranoid there as she was in the first Tribal Council when she blew her Shot In The Dark. Live Tribals are still dumb as hell but Yam's subtitle wipe was funny. So, with Brandon and Kane both gone it looks like Danny is the next person they're going to turn heel. It feels like he or Frannie are going to go soon, because visible challenge beasts don't last much past the merge without winning the challenges. Assuming there's no more major vote manipulation, which, well, lol mp5 fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Apr 27, 2023 |

I think it's funny that two seasons in a row someone thought they lost a hidden immunity idol because someone else got voted out with it when they gave it to them for safekeeping but both times they were wrong.

Production accidentally ruining their fake idols plot because of the spectre of a twist that doesn't even exist in this game is so funny. They can't even say "Knowledge is Power is not in play" because they also openly lie to their players during every merge now. Carolyn saying she cries at how good her Halloween decorations are cements her as my fave.

Was pretty funny they swapped advantages around worried about the knowledge is power and now an "Idol" left the game and Jaime played Lauren's extra vote, which I'm pretty sure probably wasn't the plan.

Fast Luck posted:I thought that was discussed as part of the plan… Im remembering a chat where they planned winning a 4-3 with a 2+1 (the extta vote) = 3 as their split. You could just go 3-3-3 though and get the same result on the revote ofc. Maybe they just wanted some insurance in case a vote got blocked or something They definitely discussed it in advance - my best guess is it was supposed to be insurance in case one of Tika flipped.

Tbh I am watching this season very loosely. Australia survivor burned me out a bit on it, and tbh George playing so psychotically hard soured survivor for me for a bit. So I don't really know what's happening but loving the physical comedy of Yam Yam and Caroline/Carolyn. And also whoever just won the foot edge immunity has great facial expressions too. Go... Any of them!

Frannie yeah! Yeah one of the main discussion points at the survivor watch party I just attended was if she is long for the game. She may have peak too early and th joke was she should publicallly denounce her bf at the next tribal "I was just playing you btw."

What has anyone done, really. Danny has his idol play. Frannie has challenge wins. Carolyn ran her own game early after being dismissed by everyone. Everyone else is pretty off the radar.
