I don't know what to do,

The one hour premiere plus super idol twist made this an incredibly rushed start. My friends was first time watchers (I don't live in America) and this episode was not a good introduction. I guess a show this established doesn't really need to for most viewers but :shrug:

Ghost Island looks like CBS wanted to have a returnee season but then changed their minds at the last minute.

This season has proven that the real Survivor gamechanger is Michele Fitzgerald because production have done everything in their power to ensure we don’t have another ‘boring’ winner.

I feel that most of this rigging controversy could have been avoided if the f4 twist was announced at the start of the game like the voting tiebreakers last season.

There seems to be a theme appearing that winners have to have some outside driving force for why they deserve to win. I think Jeff likes this because his recent interest in Survivor (aside from the crazy money of course) seems to be its ability to be a story telling medium. This season felt to me that production wanted to copy Jeremy’s second chance story of playing for Val and his family. I don’t know if this a lost in cultural difference thing but I feel Jeff repeatedly bringing up Zeke’s outing and Ben’s PTSD is horribly tone deaf.

I hope production actually listen to opinions on advantage overload but I doubt it. Some of the most popular seasons like Pearl Islands and Fans v Favourites had controversial twists so it’s not like they can’t exist but the last 2 seasons just felt saturated with them.
