They are but that whole thing was kind of cute and not your standard vapid dipshits uniting because they’re the most attractive people there.

The fact that the show is so neutered now in terms of survival is replaced by the hilarity that all the people are superfans but instantly make the dumbest mistakes

like instantly fall in love

or take the lead day 1 in camp

I don't think there is anything wrong with Showmances, but on Survivor they are just gross. Big Brother I don't mind, but gently caress you are dirty and gross. Although I could be biased because Alec is my poison.

Anything good in the first half hour other than the lurking lady and the idiot searching for an idol?

The worst thing about watching this live, is all the ads for the absolute poo poo shows CBS apparently shows the rest of the time.

How do you not just straight pull him from the game seeing that

I suppose they will since it ends at 830. Guess this is why they did a 90 minute premier instead of the full 2 hours.

They cut to commercial on Pat with 12 minutes left, this is 100% a medevac.

The saddest and most hilarious thing is that according to Probst, this guy singlehandedly inspired the season's theme. :shrug:

I wanted to hate the guy for the tattoo necklace, but hope he gets a chance back on Survivor in the future. What a weird way to go out... on a boat ride back from a challenge that the producers barely have even shown over the years as something that exists.

Yea, but that's to be expected, she's probably got a producer being like say you're a David.

Jeff going, "Hey look a member of your Tribe got medivacs, that's a total parallel to you guys being loser Davids and life just making GBS threads all over you"

That has to be one of the most disturbing evacs ever. The abruptness, the intense pain he was in, his fear and confusion, his begging not to leave. And then you factor in the other info, like one of his parents being paralyzed and the fact that he applied to the show every single season since the first waiting to get on and live his dream, and jeez what a bummer. :(

ETA: Generally good premiere though. It's a good cast and the more natural scenes and confessionals are a delight coming from Australian Survivor where every sentence spoken is composed of one word each taken from 10 different sentences.

What were the slurs that Jessica used online? Why was Alec uninvited to the reunion and did he lose the money he would have made for being on the show?

I believe Alec was the one who broke his NDA, and yes, he loses money, but maybe not all of it. You get prize money based on placement, plus ten thousand dollars for attending the reunion. He definitely loses the latter, but he may or may not lose the former depending on whether or not he has already been paid and how petty CBS is feeling.

I'm only half way through, everybody is looking for idols nobody has found one. But I'm sosososo sick of the scramping around looking for idols out of camp. Under trees --- uh, ok. Dan has found one. Blah. Jeffo! Have a season without hidden idols. I mean it. I'm rather serious about this request.
Sincerely,
Lampsy.
