milennials are this
genx is that
it was nothing but cliche after cliche
i feared as much with how hard they hammered the 'spencer has learned how to communicate with people' narrative from a couple seasons past but i hope they dont push the theme too much past the 1st episode because just the intro alone made me sick of hearing 'we didnt get participation medals in my day' + its just gonna be stupid seeing like a 35 year old call some 28 year old a punk kid
i really hate the older asian lady on gen x
she never said a word the entire time but always has this nasty ? face look on her face -
^^^ cosign all of the above - especially the bitchface chick.
And ? at that close call of the black woman getting voted out first trope even though the other chick was an annoying ? from the start and ? up the puzzle.
Also i don't like the whole "cool kids vs. misfits" thing they're trying to play up on that other tribe. Those are far from cool kids - they're just ? privileged white kids banding together for superficial reasons and and a bunch of halfwits left over thinking they're outcasts because they're not being included with them. How are you an outcast if there are more of you then there are of them?
How much do you want to bet that at some point the nerdy jewish girl betrays the "misfit" alliance in order to gain favor with the whities even though it's the worst possible move for her game? -
my girl was watching it with me and before the voting began i say 'watch them still vote out the black chick' and she told me i was being ridiculous (because of the edit) but then nearly fell out of my couch when she started getting votes
black woman was sitting there like what the ? did i do?!?!?!?!
lmao
i knew they were going to split their votes but i thought the split was going to be between the ? and the paranoid guy and obviously the producers wanted us to think that because they made it seem that way
her votes came out of left field for real -
i got my money on the paranoid guy ? up his game trying to curry favor
he is hilariously inept and i hope he stays around until the merge for comedic relief
hes like cochran without any self realization -
that was a pretty crazy tribal for their 1st of the season
i didnt think the group of 4 were playing well the way they aligned themselves but they played it very well to get mari voted out -- dude telling on zeke possibly going after michaela next got her vote -- laying out a road map for future votes like that is never a good idea unless its to someone with who you share a rock solid alliance otherwise it will almost invariably be used against you
then they planted the seeds with will and waited until tribal to catch hannah by surprise
they completely stole at least 2 votes maybe 3
it was very impressive -
^ was it good strategy by the tri force (even though there's four of them) or was that a bad move by Michaela (Black chick)?
I believe there's truth to what they say about Figgy. She can be dangerous to keep around. I didn't see Mari as a threat but apparently she was smart. It just seems dumb to be outside of the popular four yet vote people out who aren't in the popular four.
-
jay did great work with the information he got from zeke about his plans to get rid of figgy and then michaela which is what i think flipped her vote
to me hannah and wills votes against mari made less sense
i think will flipped because he is very young and impressionable -- logically it just didnt make sense but i could see michelle being a good talker -- shes an evangelist/missionary so its her job to manipulate people into converting to christianity -- hannah as sneakdza alluded to after the 1st episode probably flipped because she is so socially challenged i think she was just flattered that these cool kids were talking to her
michelle managed to play hannah by just saying trust me i'll give you a reason later wtf -
?
the chinese lady was speaking on camera
that was nuts
1 step closer to a confessional
she already has 1 of the greatest edits of all time her first words of the season were 'CALM DOWN!' and 'Shhhh!!!!' and next weeks footage looks even better
her entire edit is based around silence
on the low she a dub for the casting department -- just for the laughs -- she has the greatest ? face ive ever seen and what makes it even more hilarious is i dont even think shes actually trying to put on that face on
i cant wait to find out what the real story is here -
i actually had to re watch what paul said after watching the episode
i assumed the ladies had misinterpreted it because there is no way someone could be that dumb
but on second viewing there it was
deserved what he got -
i like how jeff be calling people out in the challenges
like such and such 'has taken their team COMPLETELY out of it'
and then inevitably in every challenge
'this tribe had a HUGE lead and now it's gone'
lmao
and i have fallen in love with michaela
tall
cute
and that smooth beautiful skin
my goodness is that chick beautiful
'youre about to see some ta ta's' is probably my favorite survivor quote of all time
what a woman -

She aight -
michaela being a shining star yet again
that scene of her alone in the woods was $$$
possibly literally as maybe the turning point in a winners edit -
i watch this show like jane goodall watches chimpanzees while chilling on the couch eating cheeseballs out a bucket
not judgmentally but anthropologically
its always a fascinating study in human primate behavior
tribal
individual
sociological
or
otherwise
they were thinking of canceling around 2008 due to falling ratings but the landscape of tv has changed to where survivor is once again regularly winning its time slot/night while being a much more cost effective production than all the other shows -- this is a key reason they have 2 seasons in the same general location each year so they can reuse and repurpose props, challenges and production camps
on the low its a cash cow for cbs
this is season 33
season 34 was already filmed and finished which will air in late january or early february -
survivor austrailia just ended crazy. i seriously didn't see that one coming. it really came down to the last speech which i haven't seen in a while in the u.s. version.
-
ive been hearing that season was blowing the US version away
im gonna have to catch that online somewhere -
i love michaela so much
she a beast
which will become her downfall
not her brutal bluntness -

Welp..... the reaction was great tv tho. -
damn. not Michaela
-
I can't understand the logic of "let's vote out somebody who has basically sworn her allegiance to us and wins challenges before the merge" because she's smart.
Take her smart ass out when you get to the final four then not when numbers and loyalty actually matter. -
They lucky the merge is next episode cause they would've been losing challenges
-
that was one of the best tribals ive seen in some time
michaela was genuinely hurt like few others have ever been and jays reaction to being called out was ruthless homes

'yeah, it was me....
*remorseless glare*
? SIR
as soon as she did the shells and rocks you could see a laser dot on her neck
a lot of men are already threatened by a strong, intelligent women but i think one of jays motives was michaela knowing that he had an idol and knowing michaela would as she herself said 'snitch' -- when it suited her -- but he couldnt say that to will since he also knows jay has an idol
so i wanna believe the tipping point for him was that she knew about his idol
had she not i think she would still be in the game
only explanation because i dont see how this is good at all for him -- voting out an ally who has your back is never a good move and neither is ? over someone else (hannah) who has no reason to trust him at the merge now and his hand is played to everyone in the game -
high praise from probst:
I love Michaela. I loved her the minute I met her. I would be so proud if she was my daughter because she is really principled, very bright, extremely driven and ultimately a truly likable person. But in the game of Survivor, if you are going to be a person who “spikes” as Michaela does, then you have to know you risk offending some people. Her game must center on making sure the people she intends to put on the jury are people who respect her enough to look past her outbursts.

jeff only very rarely notices the female players as anything other than a component of the game somewhere on the periphery -- sometimes as an amusement -- sometimes as an annoyance -- but almost always on the periphery rather than in the core of the game -- even the female winners dont make much of a mark with him
michaela the GOAT -
Damn... Just caught up on the last few episodes. I hate to see Michaela go..but I'm not surprised. She really was a threat. I see the logic of getting her out while you can. Maybe he went for it a little too early. Then again, when the individual challenges started, who would be able to out physical or out think her? Not many. She's like Jeremy from last year but smarter and more outspoken.
At this point, all of the people have physical or intellectual weaknesses except the big red head lawyer. Him and Hawaii dude are my frontrunners. I do want Hannah to get revenge before she goes home. -
jays 'kingpin' standing lasted about 18 minutes
there are still too many people there for me to be able to tell whos who and the ones i do recognize i dont care about
and it turns out the twitchy, paranoid, neurotic david has a far better understanding of the social dynamics of the game than i thought
hes the only person to vote correctly at every tribal council -
the person that wants you out is going to hang out with their loved one for 24 hours?!?!?!
BAM
? you
go back to camp!!!!
that steal a reward that adam has could be hilarious
