Sir Charles posted:This challenge concept is hilariously elaborate. Got to pad out that run time i guess. That chick was awful. She broke two of RHAPs golden rules in the span of 5 minutes. The flaw in a bunch of these players is thinking they know the game really well and telling everyone about how much they know about the game.

I'm uncertain about how much we can expect from these players strategically; people either seem to have no clue or are massively overplaying way too early.

It's also early days but it feels like there's a different dynamic with these Australian players... A lot of wariness about those who players perceive to be there to 'play the game.' Kind of like if someone shows a glimmer of a strategic thought they are immediately a threat.

The things that make this cast bad right now are the things that might make this cast good later. Too many overplaying young contestants who are starting to niggle each other but still the boring outcome of older contests on bottom due to their reduced numbers from casting decisions. There's a lot of players that fancy themselves good players. They don't have to actually be good for it to be good TV; they just have to be doing something. If we get 10-12 people with individual plans playing medium to hard, that's going to be good. They do need to turn down the music volume though. I can't hear anyone loving talk.

2nd boot is mind boggling really, considering they kept a player who will not eat or drink much water and will be out before next tribal at that rate. Good start so far.

It was nice to see the one non white dude finally get a confessional. It was funny that the guy they seem to be reluctant to let speak is in fact a radio presenter though.

It probably means hes somewhat elegant and reserved knowing how editing can work so they cant crate some plot/personality via editing, hence waiting until they can put together a big enough reel first.

Three hours, three boots a week. It's a bit much.quote:etwork Ten chief programming officer Beverley McGarvey said: “We very pleased with how Australian Survivor has started. It has attracted solid audience numbers on television and on social media, and produced big increases in Ten’s audiences in its timeslot. The response from viewers has been extremely positive. Clearly there is a strong audience for Australian Survivor and we want to capitalise on that by giving viewers more of what they want.”  We're not getting MORE survivor. We're just getting what you already made faster. Zesty fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Aug 26, 2016 |

Awesome, I wonder if it will still be a full episode(ie challenge+tribal). I guess they are happy enough to burn it off over 7 weeks(assuming no double eviction episodes).

when I first heard that there would be multiple episodes a week I assumed we'd be getting one boot per week, with extra time to show all the in between stuff. Having the same pacing as US survivor, but burning through the episodes in a third of the time is just weird.

Then the US version starts and feels weird with 1 episode per week as our brain is being getting used to 3 eps a week.

The Lord Bude posted:I hope someone lets RobC know. His first podcast was great. Anyway, the first two boots were so bad at this game. Des is an older guy who wasn't going to be very good in challenges, so he decided to compensate for that by... refusing to help around camp, and socially isolating himself, not sleeping with the tribe? Bianca is a detective or whatever so she decided to sit back and watch while other people bond and make alliances without her, making her able to correctly identify the alliances she's not in? She even called the two women out for being friends in Tribal Council. The show is good though. It's just about everything the American version of Survivor is, except with too many players to keep straight, which to me says that people worrying the show will die if Probst steps down might be able to relax a bit. edit: I don't know why production is letting two guys on the blue tribe wear red hats either, makes it even harder to keep people straight!

Just finished the third ep and it was pretty interesting. Unlike the first couple boots, I think Evan had a good enough head for strategy but he just wasn't able to appear trustworthy enough to assimilate with the group. That tribe had already been saying all he wanted to do was talk strategy, so obviously he came off as kind of schemey, and him bringing out that clue just kind of blew it up. It's ridiculous on the surface that he's caught out two other people lying about the immunity idol and that he should be the one to suffer for it, but it makes sense when you see him bring the clue to El and El's reaction is just sort of, well I'll check with them, they were probably going to tell me anyway. It goes to show where the bonds really were and who people trusted and didn't, that even those circumstances work out the wrong way for him. There's an interesting question about if Evan handled finding that clue right (should he just have left it in camp anonymously for someone else to find, should he have taken it to Phoebe and Rowan instead of squealing on them, should he have kept it to himself, or did he play it right). Obviously what he did do didn't work. But I also think it didn't work less because of the route he chose than because he was already seen as a gamer and pot-stirrer. If you imagine the roles reversed and Phoebe - who really impressed me by the way - or Rowan finding out that Evan had lied about the clue and the beans, and telling a couple folks, he clearly would've been buried by it. Evan was right about Lee, the cricketer, being a loyal guy and a good ally to make. I think Lee probably gets away with (knowingly, I assume) voting against the tribe and his own alliance even though that was a questionable call.

Yeah, I'm a pretty big evangelist for the 5x/week Masterchef, but that's doable in part because the format keeps things switched up and interesting. With the more homogenous Survivor format, it's a bit rough, and I'm saying this as a superfan who full out marathoned a few seasons when I rediscovered the show. The episode length also isn't helping. The editing feels loose and sloppy. Ten is clearly paying attention to ratings so hopefully they can sort this out, because at its root the show is very well-done, it's just got some very unfortunate kinks.

There's a lot I like about, say, the 55 minute length of the second episode. It gave everything a bit more room to breathe, especially tribal, compared to how recent seasons feel for me, with an inordinate amount of time given to challenges. If/when more strategy comes into play, I think that would be a good length, but I don't know about the weird hour-and-fifteen minutes of the Sunday episode. And I do agree that three episodes a week is a bit much for how dense a Survivor episode generally is.

Dropping 3 players per week is a great way to accelerate the pace of the season but it's hard to keep track of how much time they've been on the island. I loved that no matter what the 2 tribe members claimed, everyone else was suspicious and didn't believe their stories.
