Thanks for the OP. Tagline is too perfect. I'm both really looking forward to this and really hesitant at the same time. I'm glad it appears to only be airing two nights a week, just hoping they get the cast right and there is some compelling strategy on hand.

It's a picture book where you look for one stripy man hidden in a sea of other people and paraphernalia. He's hard to find much like the lone minority in that sea of white contestants.

Can we draw up a drinking game for the first episode? 'Underestimate me in this game' 'Mateship' 'Aussie Battler' Watched the 6 minute preview and it was far too slow. Hope this is good.

I liked the preview in as much as the style and spirit felt a lot like older seasons of the American version, with Adventure Host and a strong focus on the setting/culture, with what looks to be great production value.

I thought the photo caption was referring to the dude in the bottom left corner and people were keen to see him because he was someone we watch for.

Can't wait to see if it's 2 tribals per week(maybe the case with 24 players?) or added camp/challenge content for the 2 eps. 55 days is nuts, the US players struggle enough and they go and extend the season another 2 weeks, might get to see some interesting blowups or medical evacs as a result. NZ season is filming now, no idea if similar cast size/length.

55 days?! That's pretty hardcore.

If it's anything like the first season then they're probably going to overprovide for them anyway.

That was surprisingly better than expected. Just as long as they don't follow the tried and true Australian reality television model of throwing in a few intruders this could be a worthwhile diversion.

Initial thoughts -Why was that guy dressed as a wizard? Des is the worst. I'm hyped. It looks a lot better than I thought it would.

Speaking of the wizard (and the one minority), he not only didn't have one confessional, he voice was literally not heard the entire episode. The only camp footage I saw him talking in was during somebody else's voice over narration.

I'm cheering for the dude dressed as a wizard, because he came to survivor dressed as a wizard. He doesn't speak because he's a wise wizard, who will triumph over his nemesis, the mere magician.

I'm loving the older lady so far. She has all of the awesome Survivor old lady qualities without any of the usual character flaws that this Survivor archetype has.

How did red manage to sink their Canoe? Overweight? Broke something? Now Red is getting MORE supplies? They can't float as it is. I'm surprised they were allowed to leave their boats behind and swim to the fire. I expected them to have to bring it back to the beach with them to win the challenge. The camera loves the Courier Driver guy in the Red Introduction segment. I bet he's getting voted off this episode. Called it. Nick really stands out as a likable guy. I expect he'll go far. Bianca is a liar right off the bat and I like her for it. Haha! Red is getting washed away by the ocean. I really like that immunity challenge. Very cooperation oriented... haha. Host stole the Probst dig deep line. - I take gif requests.

That was absolutely hilarious. Des had an incredibly entertaining arc. "I'm here to be a strategic player and that's why I'm going to sit around and do poo poo all even though I could easily build everyone a quality shelter they desperately need" Cringed a lot to see people make rookie mistakes; the response to the request for a final 2 on day 1 from a supposed "superfan" was another hilarious moment. The production quality seems pretty good, though the first challenge for fire was completely gameable. Even attempting for fire was idiotic when the alternative was just stick around and be able to rack up mad amounts of supplies. Assuming you go for the fire, there's a roughly 2/3 chance you'll lose anyway, and so you'd be much better off just collecting those supplies and getting "fire in the form of flint" during the next challenge which is a pretty sure bet even if you're not able to make fire yourself. Then there was the whole rule that someone could just jump in front and swim for the challenge, so... why would the rest of the team row out at all? So what should they have been doing instead? That's right, getting more supplies. For a first episode of Survivor by a new crew? Surprisingly solid. Australian Jeff needs a bit of work in Tribal Council, since he just asked one question and then asked everyone in turn "oh and what do you think about this question? and what do YOU think about this question", but the editing of Des's arc was gold. But what the gently caress at the only minority in the game not getting an introduction, or even a single line during the entire episode? Racism towards Aboriginals in Australia is a different beast to what you see in the US (I am Australian), and this oversight in the editing shows how. Australians look at race relations in the US and think themselves superior because of what they view as visible chaotic tension between racial groups. But racism towards Aboriginals is far more insidious; there are horrific structural inequalities and racist laws (read up about the Northern Territory Intervention if you're curious), but most Australian's just don't hear anything about it, or really think much about it at all. White privilege in Australia basically doesn't allow the Aboriginal population to have much of a say at all. So in retrospect, not such surprising editing.

Or maybe it was the first episode of a show with 24 contestants and he wasn't even on the losing tribe.
