I shouldn't have to say it, but if it hasn't aired yet, don't spoil poo poo in this thread. This season begins September 21st on CBS! Check your local listings. Are you looking for the Australian Survivor Thread? Too much money? Smilies.
What is Survivor? Survivor is a reality show where a group of 18 to 20 or so contestants, from all walks of life, are stuck on a remote paradise and forced to live together for 39 days; gathering their own food, building their own shelter, and purifying their own water. The cast is split into opposing, equal teams, called tribes. The tribes must work together to form a community, in the hopes of one contestant becoming the Sole Survivor and winning one million dollars. At least one contestant is voted off every episode. A typical Survivor season has three phases. Pre-Merge, Post-Merge, and Endgame.

Already waiting for the inevitable tribe shake up where the Millennial/Gen X divide goes out the window and into the goddamn trash where it belongs. I am not looking forward to 2-4 episodes of whiny "Participation trophies are for babies" horseshit.

I mentioned it in the last thread but Rob Cesternino's wife said that the Gen X'ers that complained about participation trophies in their bios should forfeit their prize money if they aren't the Sole Survivor. Pony: Hannah Poison: Michelle My Pony was almost Zeke... then I saw Hannah's Twitter profile. Naked Jeff image as the cover image. Making fun of Chris in her bio with the gum comment. Amusing feed. Michelle, on the other hand, is the worst. A missionary recruiter who studies the ~*stars*~ and ~*dragons*~ who really wants to be a black widow... and what the hell is that rat tail that goes down to her rear end when her hair only reaches her shoulder blades?

Speciffically off the super short OP biographies, I'm going with Mari as my pony and a split between Brent and Chris as my poison. I do like how when you lump people and call it a group in survivor, they really take it seriously, so it is going to be interesting to see how the players react to getting segmented up.

Eh why not. Pony: Mari Poison: Paul I hope Mari gets to do what Shii-Ann couldn't and actually make it to endgame.

I pick Will Wahl (yes, that's his name) as my poison, due to the following combination of quotes from his profile: Inspiration in life: Jesus Christ and Ronald Reagan. If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why? Noise cancelling headphones so I won't have to hear any annoying people; a tent to stay dry in during the rain; and a Bible so that I can keep my sanity. Reason for being on Survivor: My primary motivation is to show people that, even though I'm young, I can do anything an older person can do and more. People don't respect youth and I'm going to make them regret that. My secondary motivation is to screw with people's heads and lie every chance I get. It just sounds like fun. Also, he's apparently still a high school student.

Will's voice surprised me when I watched his video. He sounds about 40.

I wonder who Lucy pissed off at CBS to have such a terrible cast photo. Zeke is the obvious my little pony but my pick is Michaela. Most of the Gen X tribe is poison. I'm hoping they are dysfunctional and lose all the challenges. Boot order: David, Sandy, Paul, Chris, Ciandra, Bret.

Why are there no hot girls this season? Also why do Lucy and Paul have the same quote? If they both said that I want them both to win. Super Aggro Crag fucked around with this message at 12:23 on Sep 14, 2016 |

The Milenials tribe could be a really entertaining disaster of overplaying since Zeke, Adam, Hannah, and Will are all huge dorky superfans and it's easy to to see how they will gain control of the tribe since Mari and Michaela are also clearly dorks that will fit in better with that group than with people like Jay, Taylor, and Figgy. It'd be like Worlds Apart if Shirin and Max actually had power pre-merge instead of just thinking they did.

His first one was good, but he kind of got high on himself with the second one. Like Jesus dude, it's fifteen seconds of reality TV footage, you don't need to write the great American novel about it.

I really like this cast overall. Zeke, Hannah, Paul, Michaela, Figgy, Mari, Cece all look like they could be entertaining. I'll probably love to hate Michelle, Bret, and Taylor. I just hope that the narrative doesn't turn into something overly religious.

Sunday seems like someone that is going to be voted out really fast, as that seems to be the fate of ultra-religious folks on this show.

Super Aggro Crag posted:Also why do Lucy and Paul have the same quote? If they both said that I want them both to win. I grabbed the quotes from their bios and preview videos. Both Paul and Lucy said their pet peeves are whiners and then proceeded to whine about participation trophies. They both also happened to be right next to each other in my setup. I was going to make the QQ high fiving each other but I didn't feel like editing it in after everything else. Max posted:Sunday seems like someone that is going to be voted out really fast, as that seems to be the fate of ultra-religious folks on this show. There's something like five ultra religious people. Sunday, Will, Michelle, and Ciandre for sure. I forget who the other one is.

To be fair, Mike from season 30 was as well. You'll know who is getting the boot when they get a lot of screentime showcasing their faith and absolutely nothing else.

I have no problem with the people who are openly religious on the show as long as they're not a jerk about it. Though I do get a little twitch when people thank god for their own good hard work as if they couldn't do it without divine help... but that's just me being a loving goon. It's especially egregious during challenges when the winner feels like God chose them over everyone else and lets the audience know. That's pretty loving self-centered.

Oh, I don't have a problem with it either. But I've been binging a few seasons now, and there always seems to be someone near the beginning of every season that gets edited to be super duper religious with no other defining feature, and they get booted within 3 episodes. Mike seemed really religious as well, but the editors didn't really play that part about him up as much as they have for others (for good reason, he had to have the winner edit.)

Pony: Michelle Poison: Adam predictions: David will either be psychoanalyzed and destroyed immediately or will develop and become a social game savant. Bret, Chris and Paul will make an alliance where they communicate wordlessly, solely in grunts Jay will tell his bros they're handsome and they'll make a handsome bro alliance

ApplesandOranges posted:Didn't Natalie and someone, Brett probably, from Russell's first season bond over religion? They made it to top 5. People often do. It's really when the edit is like "This person is 100% about Jesus, every minute of every day" that you know the boot is coming. If they get any other characterization at all, they aren't going soon, or for that reason.

Yes and no. Fewer boots each week, but the editing/pace of the program itself is a lot tighter and faster-moving.

I feel us Survivor veterans don't need as much footage to get the jist of certain typical situations whereas Australia Survivor was really aiming for a fresher market so everything is explained a bit more in depth? Which is so cool. I'm so pumped for more Jeff though. He's so good at his job.

I think it's more just the format difference. Reality competition programming on Ten is just expected to be multiple nights/week with the longer runtime. I'd imagine Survivor got the extra weekly episode as much because only having two made for awkward scheduling, as anything.

The Australian host always looks so shiny. Do they drop him in a vat of tanning lotion before each challenge? (Yeah Oz survivor is really good)
