Should I muscle through all the seasons I haven't seen before watching? It's a lot. I've only seen season 1.

Definitely watch season 2, which is the strongest season by a long shot. Season 3 is pretty fun, IMO and despite there being a mild pagonging may have the overall most memorable cast, at least to me. Season 4 has the least number of super memorable players, but the ones who are, are great (one of which is a s2 returnee, the best player).

Survivor AUS is super easy to watch, honestly, because despite being longer than US it's overall more fun and has just more joy and less editing chicanery bullshit. They also still do intros which ARE MY FAVORITE THING YET CBS DECIDED TO NOT DO ONE FOR THIS SEASON EVEN TO PUT ON YOUTUBE IT JUST FLAT OUT DOESNT EXIST FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 39 SEASONS WHY WOULD YOU NOT DO THIS?!?!?!?

Rob told Elaine about the task "you must secretly grab it (the advantage)", but she told Elizabeth about it before the challenge and should have been DQ'ed from using it.

Why would they sacrifice good tv for some bullshit technicality or making it some super secret island? If they had DQ'd her the episode would have been boring as hell. The more rules they enforce the less fun the game is - let the inmates run the asylum and you'll get better tv.

I've been too busy to listen to much RHAP recently but saw that Coach was on a week or so ago so I had it in my queue to listen to, obviously. Just listened to it and holy poo poo.

In the first minute, this guy delivers. He is quite literally the most insane person to ever grace this show and he's been snowballing the insanity since he was last on TV. Check it out if you want to jump on this bus ride to hell.

Can we all blame Dean for this? If he had only given Kellee the heads up that the vote was coming her way, after she just saved his rear end, she could have bounced Dan and the show would have been about the victory over the shitbag instead of a dogpile on the people actually trying to be respectful.

In cool good Survivor news, check out the new promo for the new Australian Survivor. The production values of their poo poo are so much better.

Also, AUS Survivor is the best Survivor. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and watch all of the seasons.

Be warned, Australian Survivor comes out like 8 times a week and every episode is 2 hours long. It's actually really good but I simply couldn't keep up last season, miss a week and it's so hard to catch back up.

What Khanstant is saying is very much a caricature of how it really is. The episodes air a few times a week and they're around an hour (w/o commercials). It's far more of an old-school style Survivor in that while there are idols and all of the bullshit, you get to know the players a lot better.

Is it slower? Yes. Are there points that drone on? Yes. You're all watching S39 though so Aus Survivor could be a 3 hour show 40 times a week of people making GBS threads in buckets and it'd be better than this season.

The last time I saw anyone poo poo in a bucket was when I last shat in a bucket. Looking at my reflection in the broken glass of discarded housing materials in a rickety shed facing a busy street, wondering, how it got to this and silently cursing my roommates who somehow reached adulthood not learning you shouldn't flush menstrual accouterments in the toilet.

An experience that sounds more enjoyable than viewing Survivor season 39.

Also, it's all on the internet. Watch 15 minutes a month if you can't stomach the hours for it. I never watch it live anyway so I'm always behind on the Aussie seasons since I can't devote that time to it. Doesn't make it an un-enjoyable Survivor show.

Janet still has a shot at immunity depending on what it is. Dean can't nullify a proper immunity, and they are definitely having a send-off for Rob and Sandra so there's potential for another idol out of that. If Janet has 2 then perhaps he can only nullify one?

That all said, yeah it's a long shot for a satisfying end.

No, tokens need to be public. Give them out publicly and have the contestants be in the know when token exchanges take place. The social politicking of garnets in the genius are what make them fun. If they were secret they would suck.

You need villains though and Zack was probably the biggest villain the show has had, other than maybe what...David? (who was a superb villain)

Yeah shonee is the best. She needs to win. I really don't need to see Sharn again though, despite her playing s decent game last time, with s major bed poo poo at the end.

Edit: shonee kinda needs finella though to really shine. They should be allowed to play as one.
