And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still

Everyone from this cast except Carolyn and Yam Yam keep sliding off my brain. My draft picks feel way more arbitrary this season than last.

Got my picks in even though my hopes for the season are quite low. Especially in comparison to Australian Survivor which is great this season.

Just remember that they intentionally decided to cast two gay, married hairdressers this season (they're not married to each other).

Edit - Made my picks. I had a super hard time with it this time.

I have no idea what I'm doing so I picked randomly (other than trying to balance the number of tribe members which I don't even know if that's a good idea).

Obviously picked Yam Yam because I'm not stupid.

Thanks both for this, I was in the league last time but the link wasn't in the OP and I couldn't remember it!

Pony: Matthew Blankinship, love this guy talking about his fear of being Reichenbached and just giving people whatever they ask for, funny and self-aware
Poison: Carolyn. She seems like a nice person so this isn't actually a strong psoion pick but i'm kind of ready for the more out there personalities to go back to being first boots as nature intended.

Bruce Perreault

Made the big move from his hometown Warwick, R.I. over to his current residence of West Warwick. R.I. gently caress regular Warwick am I right folks? Also, I think from the above video this may be the person who super dies in what appears to be the first challenge, so maybe analyze that video and adjust your fantasy Survivor accordingly
Oops was gonna pick this dude on my team, guess I won't then. I think we can reselect after e1 and at the merge in the fantasy game, so if he doesn't die maybe I'll add him after e1. in his interview he seemed pretty cool, hes a former foster kid that got adopted by his foster family I think. he was kind of going too far the other way in his stance on advantages, but I liked the thinking behind it. He said how he said if he was really in trouble he wouldn't go looking for an idol, because the real game is the votes. he'd work on winning over a vote, if he finds an idol fine he'll take it but idols can only be used once and allies can last a lot longer than that etc. Idk, an overcorrection for sure since advantages are poweful tools these days but I liked the theory behind it

usually not the greatest sign as the last ones he was wild for were caramoan/worlds apart/heroes vs healers vs hustlers/edge of extinction. jeff clearly has a preference for the blue collar grit your way through/inspirational how far will you push yourself types

I feel like numerous times he's interviewed by EW after the season is over, and even though he hyped it up before, he'll admit that it wasn't one of their strongest seasons.

Those kinda suck since they don't get posted on Paramount+ until 15-30 minutes after the broadcast is over.

Honestly the fact that you can redraft at the merge really incentivizes an initial beefy-boy strategy.

does anyone know when these episodes will appear on standard Hulu (for those without the Hulu live package)? I know Paramount + is the go to streaming service for CBS stuff but I'm not going to shell out for yet another subscription, and I'm currently too poor to afford Hulu live. Maybe there's another smart solution to this problem that I haven't considered yet, but in addition to being poor, I am also stupid.

Idk about Hulu but if you have a (free) Plex account and a friend you can watch them an hour after airing.

If you need a friend pm me

Can you watch this live on Paramount+ or not? I can't see where I'd watch it or get a "general" TV programming feed. The survivor live tv channel is just 40 reruns all night. I used to watch on DirctTV Direct Stream but I think their website is hosed, I tried on 5 browsers on two different computers and the website just has a redirection loop as soon as I try to visit the direct stream website at all.

yes, at the 10 dollar tier you can watch your local cbs affiliate live. there's a "live" tab on the left.

the 5 dollar tier is no good.

If they know Bruce is totally fine even before the challenge they should bring him back. Australian Survivor taught me that’s fine. You can even miss a TC over there and come back!

Lol wtf. I kind of feel like maybe Matthew played his SitD just to avoid voting against Brandon in case he played his idol but still that’s one of the weirder votes I’ve seen. Jamie playing hers just because she’s paranoid and then saying her vote didn’t matter may have sparked Brandon. I’m maybe slightly surprised he was voting Maddie instead of Lauren after Matthew raised the alert on Lauren.

Brandon could still have the idol and a tight ally but he was too all-for-one about stuff!
