Survivor!  Danny and Xander are the most likable to me right off the bat. Shan's "conniving pastor" shtick might be fun but could also see it getting old quickly. Hopefully Evvie will be an entertaining gamebot type. JD's sort of a wildcard. Chances are he's out of his league, but there's something unique about him that I can't quite put my finger on. Some potential there. The new dice twist is cool, and the Prisoner's Dilemma Summit thing would work well as a recurring deal (though maybe that was just a one-off).

“I found the come on in guys” incredibly annoying. Not that Jeff changed it, but how much they talked about it. Also instead of dropping guys to just “come on in” when folks is sitting right there and adds to Jeff’s folksiness. Solid cast? I think I like pastor character the most, but none of them seem as smart as they think they are at the game. Just rewatched season 31 and it bums me out somebody as smart as Kelly W isn’t seemingly there, but it’s early. The quiet at the start types are the ones to watch out for. Voting out Sarah was such a dumb move when she’s a perfect bad player to take with you for awhile.

It's like Louis CK asking "someone mentioned it might be bad if I jerk off in front of you, but do you really mind if I keep doing it?" and the person of course saying "no i guess its ok you're my boss please dont fire me"

I don't think it's really that big of a deal for Jeff to have made a big deal about changing the "come on in guys" poo poo. It's just what he has done with Survivor for a long time. If there is a chance at making something into a conversation piece, Jeff is on it... And perhaps it's even needed to have it brought up directly on a primetime TV show. If Jeff just changed it without saying anything, then it wouldn't get much attention... The gender based greetings is relatively common. A lot of YouTubers still use the "Ladies and Gentlemen" stuff... Also really, I am pretty annoyed if he's just going to say, "Come on in" instead of something like, "Come on in Survivors" or even "Come on in Tribe/s." The latter of which would even hit the same speech pattern...

Okay, I'm guessing... poor man's Howard Stern, Harvard Nerd woman and Pastor make it far if they aren't eliminated before merge.

I imagine the pastor will make it far. She's a pastor so already you know she likely will have a really strong social game... but then if she's willing to backstab and lie to people too... Should be fun to watch. I think the "Dollar store Howard Stern" though will be a pretty quick vote off unless he gets slotted as a goat early on... People tend to not trust someone that will tell people to their face they are the target...

Ricard, I'm sure, will get a whole bunch of hate through the season and beyond because they couldn't just say "Hey, we feel weird about this phrasing, and everyone was mad at us about a different thing a couple seasons ago, so we want to change this now."

What a fantastic episode. I thought the blue boat was taking on water and laughed a lot at the anchor reveal. I love the shot in the dark. I'm down for any twist that is announced from the start. One day we will get that Survivor: Everyone Has One Idol season. Brad From 2001 and Tech Bro who instantly understood the prisoner's dilemma are my favorites. I am very sad we didn't get four hours of people yelling about overlapping triangles. Bring that back but change the pattern so someone can't Spencer it and ruin the fun.

Oh no, not going to make the mistake of diving into the nutbag right wing conservatives takes on Survivor 41... Especially not for Ricard with the Pregnant trans husband. That line is some serious venom to the rear end in a top hat trumpers.

I've been watching Survivor ever since Heroes vs. Villains, and that was maybe the best single episode I've seen. The changes they've made this season have been gold, and I appreciated their appreciation of the importance of the show. This was filmed this April. That means it's probably the first time many of these people will be around strangers in a year. They're going to be hanging out in close proximity while mostly naked, and there's going to be some young singles. My point is, we're getting some island loving this year, guaranteed. The tiny little doctor man with the eyebrows is already being called "Little David Rose" here.

Survivors interviewed afterwards consistently say that their sex drive disappears on the island, you are losing a pound or more each day and are so physically exhausted that you don't have any energy to be getting anything on. But who knows, maybe the people who have been fuckin' on the island have been keeping it quiet all these years.

It also feels like several people had their own agendas and ideas of what to do, attempted their own move switches and alliances, but ultimately they all just laid down to do what the giant Doctor Who guy wanted to happen. I think if they don't get rid of him at next opportunity, they've basically laid the foundation for an end-game run for the guy to be that obvious person barrelling their will through the game and it works and all along you don't get why anyone hasn't just taken him down too late its the final 4 now.

I thought there was always island loving, and that contestants have access to a medical tickle trunk full of condoms (and pads/tampons, sunscreen, whatever prescription medicines they need, contact lenses, etc etc.) (ISTR that the sunscreen often doesn't get used as it either attracts bugs or gets too much sand stuck in it or some such.)

There probably has been island loving, but this is a family show, so even though they will force women to dress gratuitously, they're not about show sex. And there's probably less of it today than there was in the past out of everyone's fear of being labeled as a couple voting together. But we've all heard the rumors about the kind of stuff that goes down at Ponderosa.

Umm unless they have a pastor on the island to marry people secretly and we never find out, I don't think anyone on the island is having s*x. Unless you're accusing them of doing pre-marital which, idk... if you're going to levy serious accusations you should have some evidence before attacking someone's character?

The availability of condoms is not proof of loving, just responsibility. Don't fall victim to regressive evangelical hand wringing poo poo. I'm sure there's been some loving but probably not a ton. You'd basically have to let them film you for one thing. There's no place you can go with another player that the cameras won't follow
