LOLLL at production screwing up a great 4-4-4 merge in favor of the hourglass twist lmaooooooooooooo

bad move getting rid of daniel (loyal) and not chanelle, idk why hai didnt go with what he was saying he easily could get lydia to flip it

Daniel isn't loyal? He jumped ship and flipped on Chanelle and Mike and voted out Jenny when they had his back more than Hai and Lydia did. I get he didn't want to go to rocks, but it's not like he lasted much longer.

Really liking this season. Glad Daniel went, there's something I couldn't stand about him. Maryanne was an early favourite for me but I'm not sure if I'm starting to find her a bit annoying?

Drea is probably my favourite rn, and I might be in the minority but I really like Tori. Didn't like Lindsay to start with but I'm warming to her slightly. Glad Chantelle survived because I find her likeable too, she saw right through Daniel's bffl bull at tribal.

Thinking this is a real solid season so far, just hoping the twists and advantages don't ruin it too much...

This cast is so good, I wish they got to play Survivor and not Jeff's Game of Twists. I just hate what he turned this show into

TwoStrikes#158

y'all complain about twists and them not being used etc but when they are used y'all still complain??? pick a poison 

anon12423452355...#159

Huh lol?

I guarantee nobody would miss the hourglass if it wasn't there lol

anon12423452355...#161

The only twist I need is an idol hidden at each tribe. I wouldn't hate the One World twist again either or a merged start.

If we got a basics season the only thing I might complain about is the cast

love the last boot

anon12423452355...#164

Besides Jenny the boot order has been really good tbh. Just wish we lost Lydia over Jenny.

ChampionDarrell#165

mods at reddit deleting any post that bashes the twists on this season hahahaha what losers 

ChampionDarrell#166

i like jonathan, but best outcome is him going home bc of the hourglass twist and casuals starting a petition and screaming at jeff 

kvm1977#167

For sure.  That's the only boot I hated so far. 

TwoStrikes#168

jenny deserved better but lydia staying helps hai

ChampionDarrell#169

i dont really find this cast that likable tbh, kinda prefer last seasons's cast up till the merge (brad, genie, jd, etc). am i outgrowing survivor or does the show just sorta suck now? 

sooo tempted to read spoilers if anyone has scoop on the hour glass twist 

kvm1977#170

This cast is INFINITELY better than the cast of 41.  It's not even remotely clsoe

She never found it. It was a decoy. I don't get how people can cry about spoilers when they misled themselves. Tori was shown looking confused with a voiceover that wasn't even hers and people just assumed she was safe until she found the idol. She never found the idol and Ika only went to two tribals and it was obvious from the edit who was going. It didn't ruin any suspense IMO.

love drea sm

bootlist posted on 3/23 in the spoilers thread has been accurate so far

I was gonna say, there's something about this cast as a group that just works for me. My favorite cast in a very long while, loving how hard these people are playing.

Challenge 17#175

Easily the best premerge boot list in a while, if Lydia left instead of jenny then it would have been perfect, but if she left they they might have voted out Hai instead of daniel so I'll take it.

Best rookie cast since David Vs Goliath tbh, but don't know why the season isn't captivating me..

Cause it's not Survivor. It's Probst's Wacky Game of Tricks. They don't even know what their doing. According to the 41 cast each member of production had different rules for the twists and the rules were constantly changing. Production also bullies/forces them into "risking" things. It's confusing and boring to watch in my opinion. 

Flopnanas#178

Who is the queen erika casupanan of this season?

Flopnanas#179

but yeah the holy trinity is drea, tori and maryanne.

AshtonMartin#181
