No doubt. I believe her and Kellee have admitted to knowing very little about Survivor beforehand. I found her surprise acting for the camera extremely disingenuous.

agreed, it felt reeeeeal fake. but i mean, i'm an antisocial goon so i'm not the best judge of sincerity

As a west-coaster who watches on hulu live, we get the east and west coast feeds of TNT so our plan is to watch AEW at 6 and then survivor at 8, so that might be an option for anyone in a similar spot. Also, absolutely love this season so far even if it seems kind of bad. I think noura is a major fuckin goof and obviously as viewers we get like 5% of what's actually happening but i'm really impressed that the votes came together to get molly out. I guess (as Fast Luck said) you can only be SO OBVIOUS about a group of three "in power" in a ten-player tribe.

I like this season enough, rob and sandra are great, wish they would stop spoiling the episodes IN THE EPISODES but, whatever. it's tiding me over until s40.

This show is also trying to convince us Rob and Sandra are just hanging out on that island 24/7 waiting for contestants to teach. Even Rob C has said that's the case as far as he knows. :rolleyes:

i know this is impossible but i would love if they somehow just had spent the first 10 days there and saw someone new every day and then just dipped to ponderosa (or wherever to prepare for s40) and they just flickered it through the full 39 days with clever editing

Man, I miss Christian and Gabby (and everyone else from DvG). This season really feels forgettable in comparison, now that I'm thinking about such a good one. Maybe it's just that we didn't get any Island of the Idols stuff this episode

It's very cool to me that Erik gets routinely dumped on every time as a reference every time someone makes a survivor mistake and he's still cool about it like, 45 years later

Sorry I want to be entertained and not talked down to when watching TV.

I also hate when Survivor, the television show that gave us “Race War: the Season” and “Sexism: the Season” (most seasons) spends literally two minutes looking at any of those concepts critically. My blood just boils. Grrr

This poo poo sucks and it’s not like this season was good to begin with. It’s interesting that like, everybody has to draw their own line about what they’ll do to win survivor, and it is an interesting choice that so many are okay with millions of people watching them lie about lying about lying about sexual harassment. I get that yeah, it’s survivor, you lie and cheat and steal, but it feels like people on this season don’t know you go back to life afterward and there’s lines you don’t want to have publicly crossed.

idk, poo poo sucks, I’m really surprised they edited the last three episodes to be “Jamal teaches us about race”, “Jamal weighs in sagely on gender issues”, and “Jamal stands up for women everywh—oh, he’s gone”

there’s so few players left I remotely care about rooting for, I might just wait for the finale and s40

Impeach a jury member

i was joking when i wrote this but now i'm realizing it's better than at least 3 of the past few seasons' gimmicks

I thought about going out for The Circle but had a non-compete from another show. I'll probably apply if netflix US orders a second season, seems like it would at least be a good time
