oh and, when have they ever been supplied planks?


More worried with the social aspect than the survival aspect.

I remember them cutting trees or bamboo down. I don't remember seeing anything like this season before.

I've never noticed either, but I've also never paid close attention. They don't really focus on the shelter building part of the game much anymore anyway.

They had building supplies (including lumber) as rewards before. And as things that could be grabbed when abandoning ship.

There is a lot that goes on that gets cut out. A few seasons ago one tribe had a bunch of canned food. Apparently they won a reward that was edited out entirely.

The initial challenge on the beach this season was actually first to 5, but the Red tribe dominated so much that they cut out two matches entirely and had to dub in Jeff saying first to 3.

Yeah, no real entertainment value there.

Yeah the big shift on this was after All Stars season when they realized the social aspect was better television. Every season after that they have played up the social/challenges (including finding idols and such) part of the game and downplayed the survival part.

But i do miss seasons like Africa where they had legit Lions an shite right outside their little area and had to be extremely careful.

I was telling my youngest daughter about that while we were watching Wednesday night. Way more survival in the beginning.

Apparently one of the things that didn't make the cut was Ethan talking about the lions...

What you DIDN'T see in the Survivor: Winners at War season premiere

quote:

• When Denise talked about her and Adam getting lost at the water well, Jeff asked Ethan if people got lost in Kenya in season 3, to which Ethan replied, “They would be dead if they got lost in Kenya,” referring to the lions.

I need to amend this statement. I watched a couple of episodes of Parvati's first season last night(S13) and she's definitely top 3 in the show's history for me.

Ethan seems like one of the nicest guys to ever play this game. I hope he goes far but he might be a little too naive for the modern cutthroat pace of Survivor.


Big Tom the goat farmer is a family friend and he and Ethan are close. Way back in the day my cousin’s bf broke up with her right before prom and Ethan found out and took her to prom.

Lots of greats back, and yeah I few I have no recollection of at all. No matter what happens this season, here’s hoping that at the least Robb outlasts Sandra.

I do think she's genuinely pissed Rob didn't tell her he was coming on the show,

I just watch an interview panel with them. She was. She mentioned to Rob she was coming back and Rob didn't reveal anything stating he didn't want any information out there. Apparently some cast members were trying to make pre-game alliances before the game started. Maybe that's why the Poker alliance was a big deal.

I think the season Rob met Amber Home Depot was a sponsor and gave them tools & material to build a structure or it was an award. Rob worked construction and built a plush camp.

She actually revealed the old school alliance to ben! . Hated to see the old school lose a player but she was just dumb. I still enjoy looking at parvati


I really would enjoy sandra getting voted out. Ben is crazy paranoid.

Tony is smart man. If he keeps the tribe thinking he is going to accidentally kill himself, then why vote him out?

I didn't care much for Tony in Cagayan or Game Changers but I'm enjoying this Tony much more. Seems more laid back.

Danni was just too paranoid and overplayed.

Ben is someone I was kinda rooting for going into the season because of all the backlash of him winning his season and I felt people were being too harsh. But damn, he's making it hard for me to defend him now. Rob just embarrasses him each time they talk.

Ben and Adam both annoy the shite out of me. So of course they are probably going to run to the end along with the older woman I don’t remember.


Robb really looked foolish in that immunity challenge. Sandra straight up slaughtered him. He also looked like an amateur calling for everyone to empty their bags (even though the idiot newbies did it) and then looked even more like a clown not noticing both of them hiding their idols as they emptied their bags. Amateur hour all around.

This season is not shaping up well for the ones I’m rooting for, although I am happy Ethan seems to be pretty strong in Robb’s camp at this point.



Was anyone else extremely interested in where Kim hid that immunity idol when Tony rolled up on her right after she found it??
