Interesting there seems to be a couple Canadians in the cast this season. It's not all US Survivors.

Also for anyone that doesn't want to wait for more Survivor. Already 6 episodes in to Australian Survivor, and it's a lot of fun like usual. Blood Vs. Water without the redemption island gimmick to take the heat off of voting someone's loved one out. thread here -> https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3991768-

I think while the internet liked Xander and saw him as this fun gamer having a good time the tribe just seemed to see him as a nice enough guy who was backing his way to the end with a fair bit of smugness he wasn’t able to justify to the jury as earned. Erika on the other hand seemed like she had been fighting for position and moves the whole game and people noticed and felt the results spoke for her success.

Current seasons of Survivor AU are pretty easy to find (:files:)

Older stuff I guess you'll have to wait and hope that Paramount Plus decides that it's okay if international Survivor versions are better than the US Survivor and readd them to the service...

That was my immediate thought

edit - unimportant and mostly unrelated. If you want to see more of current Survivor Australia player - Jay. He is on season 2 of "Instant Hotel" on Netflix. My was watching it and I had a weird feeling like.. I know this person from somewhere. Is that Jay from the other show we are watching? It was.

I was told that S1 of Australia isn't even that great compared to some of the others and I found it significantly better than any modern US iteration. So annoyed that I can't progress to the next season now.

My prediction: Probst heard how everyone was calling Aus Survivor better than US and he called CBS offices and went on a tantrum, so they removed it.

Update: A Paramount+ representative told me that the removal is indeed because of “rights issues.” That means it’s not a technical glitch, as some people were told when they contacted Paramount+.

I’ve sent follow-up questions, but at the moment, I don’t know what that means: Did Paramount+ think it had the rights, and then discover it did not? Did it lose the rights for some reason? Is this a legal matter that’ll be sorted out and the episodes will return?

It's pretty funny they went so far as to advertise something they had no rights to, doubly so because it's funny itself that they don't just have the rights to show any drat branch of Survivor they want. I guess that's why the idea of an All-Survivors streaming join never formed, probably just the nightmare of navigating international rights. Churning out reality tv there's probably not much forethought put into long term anything.

For as defensive he gets when there's negative commentary on changes he's made to the show, this is really not all that far fetched to me.

Last season was my first Survivor season that I watched live, after a surprise discovery that this show still exists last year when a couple of random seasons popped up on Netflix. I've since binged many seasons but the Council League made it so much more exciting as I was invested in my picks.

I will definitely participate again, maybe I can eke out another surprise win. :agesilaus:

I rewatched Survivor twice during quarantine. I was surprised to hear him say f*g a couple of times while referring to Richard.

In all, despite how progressive Survivor was in terms of casting gay people, there was a lot of casual homophobia in the show, and people being weirded or homophobic was played for laughs a lot of the time.

Boston Rob in Marquesas was especially bad. There was one moment where he and John were having an argument, and at one point out of the blue he asks John, "Are you gay?" John, a little flustered, confirms he is, and Rob just kind of chuckled and rolled his eyes.

Everything with Frank and Brandon in Africa was very uncomfortable.

It’s there and it’s bad but it’s also a pretty real reflection of the time period. If Survivor is a social experiment than it’s struggles with homophobia, misogyny, and racism have all been pretty representative of society’s over these years.

Agreed. It's also super encouraging to see how much people can grow and change. I was mortified when I went back and watched Amazon at the way Rob C was acting but then you look at who he is now and how he talks to his guests and it's just so nice seeing how he turned that whole Stifler vibe around.

I loved her. Maybe other people did too, but I dipped out probably midseason because there were some very vocal, misogynistic posts about her week after week. I recalled people being head over heels for Ben at the time.
