Behind the Screen: Survivor 42 - Episode Discussion

Since its debut in 2000, Survivor has defined the reality competition genre with its mix of physical endurance, social strategy, and raw human drama. Jeff Probst's iconic tribal councils remain appointment television.

With the new era of shorter seasons and evolving twists, Survivor continues to reinvent itself while maintaining the core survival elements that have kept fans engaged across 50 seasons and counting.

They should have been trying to get Johnathan out every time he wasn't safe it's wild he's still there. Easily could just get Hai next week.  

Rooting for MaryAnne especially since she has an idol now or Drea

But why though? Jonathan is a great physical competitor but what else is he? He's not gonna win. He's too socially and strategically inept to even be conisdered a contender. I wouldn't even be surprised if he made it the end because he's such a goat.

ChavoAntoine#306

Why aren't these idiots voting out Jonathan?

Is Maryanne good at the game or just likeable?

Viewers did not tune in due to the race scandal! Diversity quota will be dropped after 44 finishes filming to avoid further discussion or it's edited out completely. Last week was 5.48 million this week was 5.37!!!

Hauserman#309

What show ya'll watching? Maryanne is winning, look at her carefully crafted edit since they merged and all of her confessionals.

Why would they vote him out? 

ChampionDarrell#311

Jonathan isn't winning after that last tribal,

Likable which is why I'm rooting for her. I also think her having an idol now could lead to a big move soon because no one knows and that could give her the W

And when he wins 3 more immunities? People love looking at comp wins and him having so many will always keep in him power so he'll be making moves. 

anon12423452355...#314

He's barely won any individuals. He has no advantages. His game sucks. We are in an era where white men are going to have an uphill battle to win, he's a great finalist goat. He'll only get a vote from another guy who respects a physical game.

He's always close to winning when he doesn't and clearly was the sole reason his team won so many times. I'm just saying him winning 3-4 more times and that giving him the W would not surprise me get him outttt

All the guys would vote for him plus prob Lindsey, Tori and more.

Hardly anyone has won because they were a comp beast. It's almost always been because they were either A) strategically the best, socially the best or C) the least hated. Very rarely are immunity wins even a factor.

What guys? Rocksroy and Mike are only two people. Omar, Lindsay, Maryanne, Drea, Hai, Chanelle, Tori, and Romeo don't see him as an intelligent player. And all the negative SPV he's been getting about how inept he is as a strategic player pretty much deads him in the edit. The only person he can realistically beat is Romeo in a surprise F2 and I just don't see that pairing even happening.

It's Xander all over again. He's not a good player. He's just pretty and white and good at challenges.

kvm1977#318

It's odd Johnathan hasn't been targeted (well voted off) because typically even if a strong competitor sucks at everything else they're sent packing first opportunity...at least in recent Survivor history.

Brad Culpepper lost to Sarah

ViewRam90#320

I don't know why they couldnt just voted Jonathan out instead of Hai he could of easily been voted out later since he's not a threat during challenges and pretty much everyone was against him. 

TwoStrikes#321

there are arguments for voting both out. the longer hai is in the more suspecting he would be that he's next. he was completely not expecting this so they go for the big blindside opposed to jonathan

Haven't really had time to see 42, is it good?

lavendarveto#323

Haven't really had time to see 42, is it good?

yes it's good. It's a lot better than 41. But it's the same ****** twists. The cast is much better though

anon12423452355...#324

Haven't really had time to see 42, is it good?

Cast is phenomenal but good game play is hindered by Probst's board game of shit.

Hauserman#325

Haven't really had time to see 42, is it good?

Yes, the gameplay doesn't feel restricted to just twists/advantages which was my concern since it's bloated with those.

lavendarveto#326

Survivor 42 is really replaying survivor 41

lavendarveto#327
