Toxxupation posted:I dunno if I can watch this season, fully half of the cast are total loving insufferable fuckwits who are the fuckwits? the brawn tribe minus Jennifer, I assume? Nick, obviously. Who else? but at any rate, I heard a rumor that Jeff compared the season to Gabon somewhere. to some people that might be ominous, but me, I fuckin' love Gabon. It's the CHAOS REIGNS season of Survivor. I don't expect you agree with me on that Toxx, but your tolerance for watching assholes on Survivor seems alarmingly low. True Survivor fans learn to appreciate the assholes. I think I have a higher tolerance for crazy-rear end women, though. I laughed at least four times during the episode at the "mental giant" Alecia demonstrating her brilliance. Debbie's "puzzles lay down for me like lovers" is fuckin' legendary.

I remember trying to watch some season in the "season 20~something"- range where all (?) players were some 20-year old fuckwits, it was totally unwatchable or at least I didn't even bother further than the first episode (edit: now I remember that they split the teams to men and women, holy poo poo that was baaaad  ). Compared to that, this season feels alright. Those who have a massive ego at least have some life experience to make it tolerable.

Brawn tribe definitely seems insufferable but it could be fun to watch them implode in the style of the Brains from Cagayan.

I remember watching the first three or so episodes and quitting because of one of the most unpleasant contestants ever. that season is generally regarded as one of the worst, along with Redemption Island and Caramoan. In that range some people hate South Pacific, but it has defenders. RI and OW do not by any means. both are utterly full of people that have no idea how to play Survivor. one thing you can credit casting with recently is prioritizing having a majority of the cast at least have passing familiarity with Survivor. In this cast pretty much the entire Brain tribe and half the Beauty tribe are fans (you might not think the old FBI guy would be, but he referenced Tom Westman in his cast bio, kind of a deep cut).

As much as I hate BB Caleb I have a feeling he can survive the Survivor edit. Most of the BB badness came out in extended down time and obsession over a woman. If he keeps busy and his heart pure he might not poison the well. Then again last we saw him he was a pretty deluded nutcase who thought he was Superman so I have hope he'll prove plenty bad here. The "Alicia vs Darnell" thing to me is a big meh. Alicia seems like an idiot who was actively playing her way out but Darnell volunteered for something he wasn't suited for and then (either intentionally or sincerely) went to emotional blackmail on Day 3. Based on what we know I probably would have voted out Alicia but I wouldn't have fought it much. These early boots are always a crap shoot. They both seem like they might be comically bad or might have just had a rocky start. Ear bug. Never sleeping again. Great start even though it's a lot of people giving off bad vibes early (Bounty Hunter, Debbie, Lady who lost her mind on Day 2, that douchey beauty guy) but that's not necessarily a bad thing early. Lots of time for poetic falls. And it usually takes time for the strong players to show themselves. It's usually the weirdos, assholes, and dumbasses who stand out early.

Pretty good cast; Jason seemed like the only potentially destructive personality so hopefully people pick up on his poo poo earlier rather than later Very glad that Debbie seems to be capable of delivering on her potential, so I really want her to outfox the "young" alliance (which has two pretty old-looking motherfuckers clutching hard to that label)

Darnell was a pretty big survivor fan, and he's very disappointed in how he went out. Made me sad for him. He referenced Sean Rector in his cast bio, and his exit interview in parade was about how disappointed he was for his friends and family.

If he wss a big Survivor fan, he should have known better. You don't volunteer to do something in the first challenge. Nothing good will come of it. You also probably shouldn't poop in the ocean in front of your tribemates.

Does earworm join the cast of eelbarf, spidernest, and snickersbar in the .gif rotation? Someone please post the current horrifying survivor creatures role call so we can take a vote.

I thought it was cool that the Brain girl who was struggling from the heat and anxiety ultimately was a huge factor in them winning the immunity challenge. But seriously, the second they showed them weaving palm fronds exposed out in the sun, I was rolling my eyes from how stupid it was. Cool so far: Brawn: Scot, Jenny Brain: Aubry, Joe, Debbie, Neal Beauty: Michele, Anna, Neck Groan so far: Brawn: Jason, Alecia Brain: Liz Beauty: Tai Who The gently caress Is: Brawn: Cydney Brain: Peter Beauty: Caleb, Julia Liz sucks, I really got a lovely vibe from her. And the show went out of its way to show her giving lovely interviews about Debbie and Joe and then focusing on how much the two "olds" helped out Aubry when she was suffering. Her confessionals to me screamed that she's more interested in people leaving due to medevac - she literally called out three of her tribemates - rather than her ability to beat them, which was weird. If I were picking a post-ep-1 poison, it's Liz.

I noticed this too and I really hope it's foreshadowing for her eventual medivac They seem to have latched onto "people will suffer!" as the general theme for this season, though, so maybe they just took advantage of whatever footage they could find in that vein

Dad's like "uh buddy you can use the wedge and sledgehammer" and I'm like NO I GOT THIS, I AM AX-MASTER.  It's just sheer stubbornness. which is p. bad when it comes to Survivor. You gotta be flexible, and if something isn't working you need to go with what does work, not double-down on obviously ineffective ways of doing things.

This episode did remind me that I would be awful in Survivor. Sunburn alone would end me. I got burnt going swimming in Vietnam... after applying 3 layers of sunblock.

Didn't Tai make some comment about it being weird that there were a few "dead trees" clustered together? Not that the first tree he uprooted looked particularly dead, but it could explain the perceived arbor-cide.

Tai rules. I almost forgot about his tying the chickens together too, I thought that was really clever. Hopefully the HII scramble doesn't gently caress him over.
