Lol. Good on him. Got past the casting screeners. Production and editing feeling they're on a gold mine. "You think maybe he's laying it on a bit thick?" "Naw man. He's just a poor foreign. What great TV." Next I hope Camp Counselor Lady turns out to be running a scam call center, found out by someone recognizing her tunes as the hold music.

I could have watched more of Q teaching Bhanu how to play Survivor each week. Then later on in Tribal when Kenzie said that he allowed himself to get played when he was on The Journey when in reality he couldn't wait to divulge everything about his tribe unprompted. I get why people were infuriated by him, but I'm going to steal these 20 moments someone posted on the subreddit just to remind ourselves of the gold he gave us. quote:

Any of y'all watching Deal or No Deal island? I'm really curious to see how long Boston Rob lasts, it's funny watching him basically be the only one with experience at this sorta thing out there.

I mentioned we started watching this season after having not watched for decades. If we wanted to watch an old season in parallel, is there a well regarded top season list? Should we just use a random number generator? My wife wants to watch the season Parvati won because that one seems to be referenced a lot online and we watched The Traitors so that's an option too.

Micronesia is a great season, but as it is a half - returnee season, sometimes a lot of the fun is seeing the growth of people's gameplay compared to their previous season. I think you should maybe watch a season of all new players. In my opinion, the best for that would be Marquesas, Cook Islands, China, Cagayan, Kaoh Rong, Millennials v Gen X, and David v Goliath, with D v G being maybe the best of the bunch.

david vs goliath is pretty much the universal Jumping On point for modern american survivor, tho i would argue that 41 is probably good for post-pandemic survivor as its more or less the reset of the game.

Probably don't want to watch a 4x season along side 45 as the games will be pretty much exactly the same with more or less the same "twists" at the same time, and probably quite confusing to watch together...

Cook Islands has this weird thing where people like it more because its standout characters came back and made big impressions later. Parvati in particular. If you want an old rear end old season to watch in parallel, go for Borneo, Marquesas, or Pearl Islands. A little more modern, go for Panama, China, or Tocantins (17 and onward are in HD). Micronesia is a stupid funny season but half returnees may leave you going “I don’t know why these people are a big deal” and missing a lot of context. If you want a season that doesn’t totally suck from after Jeff Probst became EP, try San Juan Del Sur, Kaoh Rong, or David Vs Goliath. Folks will say “Cagayan” but that one has a lot of the same stuff you’ll see in the New Era so it won’t feel as different. Also I myself am kinda down on Cagayan but that’s just me

I pirated (lol) Pearl Island my first year in University and that’s what got me back into Survivor so my vote is for that.

Is there a way to look up info about these seasons without getting immediately spoiled? I looked at season 45 on Wikipedia and practically the second sentence has the winner. I googled another one and saw a survivor wiki but that also had the winner in the first sentence on the Google results page. I might have seen Pearl Island if it was season 7 since I only watched those first seasons.

STING 64 posted:41 is pretty different from the current seasons It's not that different at all. 41 is the introduction to the "Beware Advantages" & "Shot in the Dark." Some of the twists are slightly different with the hour glass & exile island at the 13 player merge / not merge. Where recent seasons the 13th player just picks a side. The only twist actually different in 41 was the challenge where the 1st person out had to win the Monty Hall problem at tribal to stay in the game. But otherwise season 41 has the same twists as 45 and presumably what 46 will have.

41 is interesting for all the bits where they show the viewer things like secret advantages, the idea that you could know more than the players with Jeff doing pre-challenge bits where he'd hide an advantage on the sit out bench. All its unique bits are basically set dressing otherwise though since outside the box thing and "what did you think was going to happen" hourglass none of them really impacted the game much.

STING 64 posted:41 is pretty different from the current seasons I would probably lean 42 over 41, just because 41 has so many editing choices that don't really help it. I love the overall story, but it's just not well presented. Though if someone is watching 46 now, I'd probably go for something different. China is pretty sick, imo.

Slight echo chamber, but I think 6/Amazon, 7/Pearl Islands, 12/Panama, 13/Cook Islands, 15/China, and 18/Tocantins are all fine places to start.

As I always do when people ask, putting in my vote for Guatemala as a unique fun season that is like none of the others and has a great cast (some duds) but is weirdly unique as survivor goes. Also contains hilarious idiots which is one of my favorite survivor things.

It’s extremely difficult to avoid spoilers on wiki or anywhere else, and the show itself puts the most important players (including the winner) on the DVD covers / season art. Everybody here will be totally willing to talk about our dumb show, heh.

I was gonna say you could start on 15 (China) and then hit Micronesia at 16 and cruise right up to 20. I don't think most of Micronesia's important players really have important first seasons. This path would hit China, Micronesia, Gabon (lol), Toctantins, Samoa, and then HvV.

As Poque said, just ask here; it's almost impossible not to get spoiled looking things up - some genius wikipedia editor even recently changed the main photo for each season from the logos to the DVD box covers which show the winner in a very specific place. As far as 7 goes, it has a very unique, memorable first episode, so I'd say just watch like the first 10 minutes and if no bells are ringing you either haven't seen it or have forgotten enough to enjoy it again.

Triple post on the Micronesia returning players with spoilers where appropriate: Fairplay: 7/Pearl Islands - nothing needs to be said, but only if you go and watch that original poo poo. Also, he hit the beach in a Jeff Probst cosplay and it was pretty funny. Ami, Eliza: 9/Vanuatu - you really need to watch this to understand their relationship, and/or why either of them matter. Both are big characters and big players. Cirie: 12/Panama - you need the birth of her character arc to blossom into what she's capable of Ozzy, Parvati, Penner: 13/Cook Islands - Penner plays from the top, then the bottom, then the top, then the bottom; Parvati is almost always on top but we don't get to see too much of it, and Ozzy is a physical legend. Yau-Man: 14/Fiji - iconic old wise man, fire was made without flint with his glasses. When his tribe had no food, he made tea. You don't strictly need to watch the first half of his badass season but he did some amazing work and it gets compounded in his late game. Amanda, James: 15/China - They're both iconic, and it's not good news for either of them. Propaganda Machine fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Mar 27, 2024 |
