Survivor UK finally has a trailer. There’s still no official air date but it’s rumoured to start at the end of this month. It’s been made by the same company as Australian Survivor (but won’t be as long) so I have high hopes.

My fiance and I recently started watching Alone. Then we watched Alone UK. The whiplash from 'hardcore survival experts, primitive living instructors and what not put their skills to the test' to 'randos off the street try not to die, and also, get their clothes off for the camera' was pretty sharp.

i kinda wonder if part of its existence is so that the types jeff usually goes for, typically masculine blue collar boot straps types are usually merge vote fodder and this is a way of shaking it up enough that its not as much of a sure thing as prior seasons
then they should make the mergatory safety buff be won by the top 6 or 7 individual finishers in the challenge instead of randomly drawn teams! It's so arbitrary as it is

so you want all of the weaker men and women to be vulnerable instead of teamwork being a factor??

Not sure if I'm feeling the host tbh. But I'll watch it anyway most likely.

Yeah, I’m not sure Joel was the right choice, though he is a fan of the show apparently. I think the cast will be decent after the success of The Traitors last year.

I just hope that we don’t get a season of mateship like the first season of Australian Survivor. I do think there’s a chance this gets cancelled after one season as well as it’s going to be competing with the rebooted Big Brother.

This is the first I've heard of Big Brother being back on UK TV so I'm not sure that reboot is going to last.

Ha, that’s fair. I haven’t been following it but I assumed there was a good chance history would repeat itself and it would take down UK Survivor again.

Just make the mergatory challenge be complete luck like rock paper scissors, because it might as well be.

I think they're just saying that if that's what Jeff's goal is, that's what it should be, not just a general "that's what it should be"

what if they just have to hold some balls on a plate like they're always doing though, how about that?

Maybe if you drop your balls you get to go eat food or something. Who can say?

The ball holding challenge which definitely doesn't require muscle strength, endurance, reflexes, or a sense of timing

Some of those endurance challenges do seem to favor lighter smaller people

Certainly not all of them

They require physical skill (Brandon would be terrible at them) but I don't believe they have any tendency to advantage a certain type of build or gender etc. Survivor has a lot of fairly neutral challenges they could use but yes, they're still challenges.

And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still

If we remove Brandon's visible weaknesses we can eliminate any challenge that involves water, puzzles, any kind of movement or standing upright.

Brandon's gonna come back diesel as gently caress and go by Brando and pick up and toss walls in his way.

Brandon might do ok with that challenge where everyone gets three tiles and the players take turn breaking other players tiles, once you have none left you are out.

fishbach destroyed his own tile with a slingshot. Brandon could pull that off with no slingshot involved
