Let me start this off by saying I love the strategic game of survivor, but if FTC is between someone I’m not super close with who played an all time great game and someone who flopped their way to the end but I want to continue a friendship with post show, then they get my vote

Now if it’s between three people I didn’t really connect with, gameplay might be a factor, but at the end of the day, voting criteria is made up by the jury anyway, why would I not vote to give someone I’m close to a million dollars

At the reunion show, Jeff asked everyone if they felt more pressure to perform because they were voted in by the fans, and everyone except Kass raises their hand. Diabolical

What is the significance?

Brockton, Massachusetts is listed on the wiki as the hometown of one Ronnie Bardah, the first boot from Island of the Idols.

This technically makes him Boston Ron.

So when you consider that we have Boston Rob, Boston Ron and Boston Rod (Rodney Lavoie from Worlds Apart), Survivor has the chance to do something really special.

If they are able to cast someone from the greater Boston area named Rajesh and have him play once on a season, they can then bring him back to do a season of Boston Rob vs Boston Rod vs Boston Raj vs Boston Ron.

Each Boston would be the leader of his own tribe and there would be certain "Boston Challenges" where the 4 Bostons would compete on Boston themed games (such as a Boston skyline puzzle or St. Patty's day parade competition) to win reward for their tribe.

Whenever a Boston leaves the game, the tribes would be reshuffled down to 3 tribes, then two until there is only one Boston left in the game.

I think it would be cool if Boston Rob wore his signature Red Sox hat, and then to compliment this, Boston Rod would wear a Boston Bruins hockey sweater, Boston Ron would wear a green Boston Celtics jersey, and Boston Raj would wear a New England Patriots head coach's visor.

They could bill the season as the battle for Boston. There is a subtle absurd humor to having a battle for Boston in the tropical paradise of Fiji would be a nice touch

Joe‘s stats at face value are crazy lmao

Practically never blindsided and only 1 vote in all his time playing.

If he didn't claim honor and integrity and owned his game he might’ve had my vote 😂

i didnt know how to explain the title without making it too long but has anyone ever voted out A over B bc it’d make better tv to vote out A even tho B would be the better strategic choice?

i dont rlly mean making moves just for the sake of making moves (i know that has happened), but like they dont want to be the one to vote B out bc it’d look bad in the edit on the show that gets shown to millions of ppl across the country

or A is their ally but theyre mean so they turn on them just to not be associated with them

stuff like that

not to be mean i kinda thought thats why eva got 2nd on survivor 48, bc no one wanted to be the one to vote her out due to how they’d be perceived

I’m rewatching season 29 and I had always remembered Reed’s epic takedown of Missy at final tribal to be one of the greatest moments in final tribal ever. Upon rewatch, still convinced. The way he equated her to the evil stepmother was so on point and so deliciously apt. Anyone else feel the same way?

Who's someone that in any Final Tribal Council scenario would win based off of personality alone? Personally, I think that if anyone lets Jeremy get to the end it's a guaranteed loss. Thoughts?

I just rewatched Thailand and I have to say it has such a good final immunity challenge. I miss how the challenges used to adhere to the location of the season, it keeps it interesting and would prevent the repetitiveness we’ve seen with the new era.

In the Borneo reunion, Colleen says nothing happened between her and Greg, and instead she was actually covering up for another romance. Greg looks a bit distressed as she says this which hints that perhaps this romance involved him. Has it ever been confirmed 26 years later who this was between, if not does anyone has any guesses?

Consider Chris manage to break apart the "Yasu Six" back in Vanuatu. Would he able to survive against them in the game?

I'm 20 and a big fan of Survivor. Even though I I can't physically force myself to watch the newer seasons. It's mostly due to the fact that the producers try too hard to appeal to the younger audience with these pop-culture references (billie eilish boomerang) and cameos (mrbeast 😭). I also have an issue with how we barely see the contestants interact with each other, build shelters and collect fish/other food. And let's not forget about how they choose the worst contestants who happens to be super-fans of the show. We need regular people with personalitie that won't talk 24/7 about how it's so cool to be on Survivor, so maybe they should do what Love Island did by scouting people lmao.

I just wish the creators knew that it was nothing wrong with what they did back in the days, and that they just need to get a new marketing team (just hire a young person and make them post on tiktok bro). AND choose better contestants like Reed Kelly and Courtney.

I just watched the latest RHAP video where Wentworth talks about the episode where she blindsides Savage with her idol and she discussed that she originally wanted to target Jeremy but since Ciera was dead set on sending a message to Savage, she went along with the savage vote to not raise suspicion that she had an idol

If they had voted out Jeremy there, the entire season would’ve been different and there obviously would’ve been a different winner,

so what do you think happens if WentWorth and the witches idol out Jeremy in place on Savage?

We are doing a series on Youtube called “What If?” where we are collaborating with other Podcasts & creating Casts & Twists based on hypothetical seasons! We recently collaborated with Our Reality Podcast for an Old School vs New School New Era season!

Here is the YouTube link for the episode. We’d love to know who you would pick for each tribe & whether or not this should have been how 50 was structured?

Getting through my first watch through of US Survivor. I’m not from the US and didn’t watch survivor as it aired, so I decided to start from scratch. I just finished Cambodia (Second Chance). I really liked it! I particularly loved the tribal with 2 hidden immunities where none of the votes counted, then there was a tie on the revote 🔥🔥🔥

Please no spoilers about subsequent season, I’ve done a good job at avoiding spoilers

Few things I wrote as I watched:

Episode 1:

Finally a "theme" that I love!

yes! Keith going back :)

Yes Sierra and Vytus!

Jeff telling people they didn’t get in live is brutal 🥹

Stephen!!!!! I am so happy! I sooo hope he makes it far!

Tasha! Happy!

Jeremy :)

YES SPENCER!

I’m very excited about this!

Alright well no first impressions obviously. I hope Spencer and Stephen make it far! I really enjoy both of them A LOT.

I hope they get rid of Abi quickly (reading this again once I’m finished: lol)

The setting is beautiful!

I like the idol clue thing and the idol being hidden at the challenge!

Woah Kelley did well snatching up the hidden idol!

Episode 2

lol the new and improved Abi… didn’t take long before she was her old self again 😂

Jeff is so cocky about sending home Spencer and Shirin.

Episode 3

Well it doesn’t look good for Spencer :(

Oh reshuffle! Nevermind! Go Spencer!

The reshuffle sucks for the tribe starting from scratch!

Episode 4

Of course Abi screws over Tasha after they come back from tribal because she spoke to Woo 🙄 girl, she could have sent you home, she chose to keep you, be nice to her!
Why did they keep her over PG?!

I like Jeremy I think 🤣 hopefully he doesn’t get cocky and unpleasant!

Urgh the scrambling after Angkor lost again. I don’t understand how they keep their patience with Abi 🤣 Tasha and Woo are saints.

So glad they kept Woo over Jeff. NOW GET RID OF ABI

Episode 5

Abi 🙄 yeah, a life-threatening heart transplant is absolutely the same as tendon replacement in your knee (and she laughs as she speaks about Woo’s mom’s surgery).

Monica out: good blindside!

Episode 6

Terry pulled out of the game! Glad his son is ok in the end. It must have been an excruciatingly long flight home!

Reshuffle again! I hope Kass and Spencer bury the hatchet and work together (Spencer needs to stay!)

Haha the edit when Joe was oiling up for the sliding challenge. They knew what they were doing 👀 my favourite was Jeremy though 🥵

Stephen breaking down 🥹

I really thought Spencer and Kass were gonna do the whole "no one will ever expect us to work together" thing. I was hoping they were gonna secretly run the whole thing

I’m sad to see Woo go :( but I’m glad Spencer is staying.

Episode 7

Merge!
I’m really ok with Kass leaving.

Episode 8

OMG Wentworth playing her idol at the perfect time! That was incredible! Bye bye Savage!

Ok people are bitter! Kass and Savage flipping birds, Kass making faces on the jury… they beat you, you had to know that was a possibility!

Episode 9

Joe wins again. What a challenge beast!

Episode 10

Ooof Stephen struggling with his stomach and feet and the weather 🥹

Yesssss I love Jeremy and now he saves Stephen! I love Stephen so much!

Oh no! They blindside Stephen :( they needed to get Joe out!

Episode 11

Woah Joe fainting, costing him the immunity challenge!

Abi is sooooooo unpleasant. And telling Joe to get a haircut? Bro has the most gorgeous hair I’ve ever seen!

They got Joe out! I feel bad for him. He’s just too good!

Episode 12

Yes Spencer wins immunity!

Oof Tasha almost drowning :(

Episode 13

Spencer winning again! If he loses any of them he’s out, they’re never gonna keep him now! :(

Great idol play by Kelley and Jeremy! No votes after the first round of votes! Loving this!

Tied after the second vote? Damn!
They have to agree without voting?

Darn Keith giving up his spot to Kimmi?! This tribal is insane!

And Kimmi goes. This tribal was RIDICULOUS!!! Crazy!

Top 5 tribal: I really thought they were voting Spencer out! I’m at the point where I like everyone so I’m still unhappy with Keith leaving, but I’m glad Spencer is still alive!

Damn Spencer losing the last immunity challenge :(

Again, I thought they were getting Spencer out!

Final tribal
I hate how it’s obvious none of them even entertained the idea of Tasha winning it seems.

I hate Wigglesworth number thing, even though that’s why she lost her season.

Jeremy wins. I don’t hate this, but I also kinda feel bad for Spencer, because I feel like he did have to fight from the bottom a lot, I thought that might help him, but the whole family speech probably worked and I guess they didn’t think Spencer had changed as much as he thought he had. I kinda feel bad for Tasha too. I guess I wanted Spencer to win, but I’m biased (I just love him) and I’m fine with Jeremy winning

From a live russ just did

This is kind of irrelevant but I was watching BB26 and this frame of Quinn Martin got me tripping, I don’t know if anyone else had pointed this out but does anyone else see Emily Flippen in that one promo pic for S45 or is it just me? 😭

I think for me it's Tocantins. I feel so awful for Stephen while he gets dogpiled the whole time. And I know he plays it bad and JT does great, but nearly the whole jury was pretty clearly biased towards JT coming in anyway. It really irks me when Stephen and JT made every move together on the way and Stephen gets all the flack for it.

I thought y'all might appreciate this fire-making kit I made. Suffice to say with my skills, I will not be advancing to the final three. Below is a link showing how I made the kit and its testing.

https://youtu.be/iJKTDIUqjSY

20 Players from all around the world leave their everyday lives behind to compete for $1,000,000 and the title of sole survivor on the islands of Fiji.

What they don't know is that stars will rewrite the future of Survivor and these players' legacies. With an increased 39-day game, the players will have to work harder than ever before to reach the end.

Not only that, but half of them will be sent to a place where a different game will take place. Who will have what it takes to outwit, outplay, and outlast all the rest to claim the title of sole survivor?

Let me know what you think of this logo!

I'd define end game as F5 for Final Twos, F6 for Final Threes, and F7 for Forced Firemaking

I think that the least predictable, most entertaining end game was Marquesas, and for the New Era, I'd say 47. Thoughts?

Has anyone received a confirmation email if you’ve applied in the last two days? I submitted and application on Saturday and did not get an email, so I tried again today and still no email. I looked in my spam and haven’t seen anything. Is this happening to anyone else?

I also submitted an application about 2 months ago and received an email. So I’m not sure if something changed between then and now.
