Super last second thread for Survivor Season 43! They've learned from their great casting and stupid twists of season 41 and 42 and hopefully we're due a couple of great seasons here! Survivor airs Wednesday, September 21st (today! oops?) on CBS! Check your local listings, or whatever people do in 2022 to watch tv. PAY ATTENTION TO THIS: Some basic rules, which should be no-brainers for pre-taped reality TV:
Now for all of the boiler plate poo poo for new viewers in case you've been living under a rock for the past 22 years. What is Survivor? Survivor is a reality show where a group of 16 to 20 or so contestants, from all walks of life, are stuck on a remote paradise and forced to live together for A typical Survivor season has three phases. Pre-Merge, Post-Merge, and Endgame.
This Season's Gimmick The past 2 seasons have been 26 days, down from the former 39 (and AUS Survivor's FIFTY) and per Lord Jeff, this will be the new standard. They are starting with no food/rice/supplies so the game is intended to be harder from the start to compensate for a shorter season. Jeff said that these seasons are back to basics which we all assumed meant less twists and by golly wouldn't you know it but seasons 41 and 42 were chock full of twists and stupid advantages galore and it was worse than usual but at least the people were cool. Some of the twists we saw in 41/42 (hourglass, do or die) are gone which is great but there will still be stuff like shot in the dark still in the game. Supplemental Material

Pony: Owen Poison: Cody They've already filmed 44 but everyone remember to bitch endlessly online about the on-island reunions and maybe we'll get a real one back for 45.

So I picked a fantasy team based solely on pictures. Then I saw I have an active roster and a reserve, and like any good fantasy player I just rolled a few dice to pick my active slot. I plan on reading the rules after the merge. Edit: for some reason it joined me up twice. Not sure how. Can anyone kick out "Voodoofly#3825" (the one with no picked players). I can't even figure out how to log in as that account or I would do it myself. Edit edit: nvm guess my phone logs in different Voodoofly fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Sep 21, 2022 |

Baka tribe all the way, that entire middle section of them all look like fun people. Coco looks way too intense and try hard. I didn’t read any of the player profiles so those are my pony and poison tribes.

Premerge boots are way more of a dice roll with three tribes. I get what you mean about him but if his tribe is last to tribaI think he'll solidify.

Cool puzzle for the strain vs brain challenge. Bold of them to go back to digging after almost killing everyone with that a few years ago

I'm just realizing how wonderful it is to not spend half the episode having the cast go to that stupid twist hill where they have to play the prisoner's dilemma Edit: nevermind! They need to loving stop these stupid twists Nihonniboku fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Sep 22, 2022 |

Pony: Geo Poison: Cody Honestly, Geo didn't have the best first episode, but he's cute. That logic served me right for Chris Underwood. I also like the Geo/Ryan tiny alliance forming as well as looping in Karla. I like Coco the best, Baka is okay, and Vesi hasn't really left an impression on me.

This was probably my favourite launch of the 40s seasons. It seems like they've deleted a lot of twists and the cast is actually interesting. Pony: Jesse. This guy has a wild backstory and I'm excited to see how he plays. Poison: Cody. That voice is awful. Also joining the fantasy team competition for the first time.

Every time I see Sami, I think 'Baseketball-era Trey Stone got big.'

Going all in on the Coco tribe seems like a good choice thus far.
