I have unanswered questions? I forgot what they were. I think the only major one I have is if they actually had someone get voted out first and play again without ever bringing it up.

I really like how Jeff will be super nice and try to talk people out of quitting, then immediately be a dick to them when they quit. NaOnka I think it worse than even Lillian, especially that movie reward thing. Lillian was just annoying and whiny, NaOnka is actively a terrible person. Down to the final 6 now, I feel like Dan is going to make it to the finals by doing nothing since everyone is going to turn on Jane soon. Sash also has the worst looking chest in human history.

Wait! When Rob and Russell basically challenged each other to Survivor rematch... that is a real thing? I just found out both are on Season 22. How the hell is this even going to work? Everyone knows Russell is a shitbag now.

Shannon and Ben are two of the absolute worst.

Well, I survived Thailand, and I seemed like seasons like Fiji more than other people, so maybe I'll be okay? I'm not really enjoying Nicaragua though as I've yet to find anybody on this season that I actually want to see win. Fabio would be hilarious because he's so hopeless.

I forgot how enjoyable Sandra was, especially burning Russell's hat and helping him look for it. As for Nicaragua, this season is weird. Jimmy T is someone I just don't understand. He spent so much time asking to get a shot in challenges when there was only one challenge up to that point that only one person could do, everything else was entirely team based. I straight up hate NaOnka and hope she leaves the show as soon as humanely possible. Fabio is fun to watch because he's such an idiot. Overall though I have no idea who I even would want to win this season as I really want to see Brenda and Sash fail spectacularly.

I just love how just like 5 days ago when thinking about who the best player was I thought J.T. was up there and then he got the dumbest move award and Sandra won twice using the exact same strategy and I never even would have put her on that list before.

Heroes vs Villains was quite the watch. J.T. is an idiot, he made a big move based on a guess which destroyed a lot of peoples chances to win the game. I still have no idea why Candice was on the heroes tribe, she turned on her tribe in Cook Island and still managed to tank an 8 vs 4 advantage, then turned on the heroes here and screwed herself. The absolute highlight was the Russell/Sandra dynamic. I never would have pegged Sandra as a two time winner but as it got down to it, especially the final 6 it was almost a guarantee she would win. Russell being so angry during the reunion was the best, his strategy had almost no chance of ever winning the game and his insistence that the jury HAD to vote for him was just hilarious to watch. I'm glad he failed do spectacular in the finals twice in a row. The whole "America should get a vote" thing is dumb too and I hope it never happens since it puts the power of the game in productions hands.

I regret thinking J.T. Having a perfect season makes him one of the best castaways.... he somehow beat our Erik for the absolute dumbest. How did 5 people think that was a good idea? Only Rupert later realized that the dude was on the VILLANS tribe. Amanda goes and makes things worse by telling Parvati to play the idol, showing their hand completely. The Heroes are idiots.

...did Tyson just vote himself out? Rob actually had a brilliant plan that could not fail and Tyson screwed himself over by changing his vote. I cannot fathom why, the most votes he could get was 3 which would be a tie and the tiebreaker would be 5-2 no matter what... I don't understand this.

I just found it kind of odd that Jeff said Parvati lead some evil women alliance... that include Cirie and Amanda who were on the Heroes team. So far the best part of the show (after 1 episode) is Jeff taking shots at Coach's life experience. The teaser for episode two almost had me immediately watch the next episode, but it was already after midnight and I had to be up for work in 7 hours. I just saw what looked like a dead Boston Rob

Starting episode one of Heroes vs Villians. I had the main villians corrects, mostly because I guessed pretty much every possible one. So Russell, Coach, Tyson, Randy and Boston Rob (no Lex, Judd, Jean-Robert or Shane). Courtney, Jerri and Danielle were correct. Didn't expect Sandra at all and why the hell is Parvati a villian? Heroes I had Colby, Rupert, James and Tom for the men, J.T. makes sense as well. I had no idea for the women except Cirie. Glad to see Sugar back and Stephanie makes sense. Amanda though? Who the hell is Candice?!?!? (Upon looking it up she was on my most hated list from Cook Islands but I do not remember her at all). Why is she a hero? Amanda, Candice and Sandra are three I probably wouldn't have guessed but I really think Parvati and Candice are on the wrong tribes here. So who got bumped for someone else? Poor Colby, he can't play a god damn season of Survivor without Jerri. I guess this also means James and Amanda have now played 3 seasons together as well. Christ, a dislocated shoulder 15 minutes in. Now Sandra is stripping Sugar, what an opening episode.

You hated Tom? I find it kind of funny that Fiji was one of my favorites. Earl and Yao-Man were great the the 4 Horsemen fail was the absolute best. How was Australia not any good?!?!?

Binge watching this show was a great idea. All because of this thread and me being really bored at work one day.

A double winner eh? I hope its Ethan or Tom. I would laugh if it was like Sandra or Brian. That just gave me an idea for another special season. 20 castaways who lost at final tribal.

RPS and the ongoing history of Survivor is the best. The scary thing is if that is all Russell knows, he's doing a pretty damn good job to make it to the final 5 after his tribe sucked (though that could be a lot his fault) and turning a 8 to 4 disadvantage to having his 4 in the final 5. What he is doing is working so far at least, though I have no idea if it will work when it comes to jury votes. I personally like getting different types of seasons. Going from a chaotic season to a more mellow season with likable people is good variety for someone binge watching the show since I go from "I hope X wins" one season to "I hope Y loses" the next. I wonder who would be classified as the best player ever? It would have to be a former winner since losing can't make you the best. Earl or J.T. jump out simply because they pretty much dominated the game and got a clean sweep in the final tribal council. J.T. was never voted against once and Earl only got 1 vote. J.T. also won the fan favorite vote (but that didn't exist when Earl won).

Gonna watch the finale for Samoa tonight and probably at least start Heroes vs Villians to see who is on it. I'm not sure why my friend loved Samoa, but I guess if he liked Russell a lot that is the only reason why. Brett is in the final 5 and has had like 3 confessionals the entire show so far. I would normally hope that he ends up pulling out the win but with how irrelevant he is from a production stand point I doubt he makes it to the finals, otherwise I felt they would have showed him at least someone in the first 10 episodes. The only interesting thing about this season is the fall of Galua. Going from 8 vs 4 in the merge, they got cocky and eliminated one of their own. Then Russell used the idol to take out another. With Shambo being an idiot they ended up in a tie situation where John took the worst possible option and swapped. Then that was it, Foa Foa just demolished them because of a single dumb vote with 12 people left. I really don't get John's thoughts on the tie situation. Basically whoever flipped would get 6th place at best. Whatever tribe lost the rock draw would get 6th place at best. Whatever team won the rock draw would be garunteed 1st to 5th. It's shitty to put your fate up to chance but swapping was by no means the better option here and I'm glad they voted off John next.

I'm really hoping at some point there is someone that returns that I would have never expected to see back, the surprise return of Greg from Borneo or Flicka. More hilariously would be someone who got voted out first one season and they see if anybody even realizes they've played before.

I'm trying to remember who got taken out for health reason. Michael, Russell, Chef Mike, Jonathon, Papa Smurf and James.... I think that is it. Michael and Russell would be guarantees and the third I would probably guess between Jonathan and James. If one of them is on Heroes vs Villians I would guess the other one. Shambo has officially joined the Twila/Lillian level of making me not want to finish the season because I can't stand them existing.

So Nicaragua and MvGX is basically the same? I wasn't sure what to expect for Redemption Island but that sounds kind of neat. The One World thing I love, that was literally the only good thing about Thailand and it only lasted like one episodes (well and Robb choking Clay and then bitching about it after). World's Apart only seems neat because of the return of 3 tribes. Blood vs Water I didn't expect them to be playing against their loved ones. I would love to see a season with no tribes. Just dump 20 people on an Island. Immunity challenges would start being done as teams randomly, they could be split into 2, 3 or 4 teams and everyone on the winning team doesn't even go to tribal to vote until there are only 10 left. That would make alliances insanely tricky since you won't even know who is getting a vote until the challenge is done.

What are some of the other gimmick seasons? I can see the full list of what they are called but some of them rather confusing. Redemption Island is obviously the season someone stated before where players can come back in the game but I feel like its all new people. One World? I have no idea what that could possibly be if anything. Blood vs Water I assume has something to do with family members Worlds Apart is about as clear as One World in that its not at all. Millenialls vs Gen X is obviously old people vs young people Game Changers I would assume is another allstar like season for people who had a huge impact on how the game is played.

I'll probably find out tomorrow night at the rate I'm going. Do they ever do a season where its all people who played before but never made the merge? That would be kind of neat.

As long as I don't have to put up with Lillian, Aras, Dreamz, Twila or Crystal again I am happy. Missing 4 villains guess: Jerri, Corinne, Natalie and Danielle? Or for the love of god let one of them be Rocky! Danielle doesn't really fit the villian role.. but she was one of the more attractive people on the show so far. Heroes are actually way harder. Villians stand out more. I would guess Colby, Rupert, James, Cirie, Yao-Man, Ozzy, Tom (Firefighter).... Hero girls are a lot harder... Stephanie, Taj.... and then I have no idea who else I would choose except maybe Parvati, but she just won. Now that I tried to list those I have this sinking feeling that Colby and Jerri are going to be on the same season again.

I think the most entertaining villains team would be Russel, Coach, Shane, Tyson, Randy, Courtney, Jean-Robert, Boston Rob, Judd and Lex. Just because it would be the most dysfunctional group of people possible.

I'm not sure how I feel about Samoa. Russell is evil but he's not really being an asshole to anyone, but he's so dominantly featured that it seems like nobody else matters, except Shambo, but fuck Shambo. Finding two hidden immunities with 0 clues is insane and he's doing a great job manipulating the game. I hated Thailand because post merge there was pretty much nobody I cared about or wanted to win. Samoa is kind of in the same boat, my only real interest is to see if Russell actually succeeds. On another note, I want another All-Star season with Coach and Russell together just because I think it would be hilarious. When is the next all-star season?
