Oh no, we got the Survivor All Stars tribe swap. That means Wendy somehow wins this season now, right?
Was hoping we would get to see Joe or Aubry find new life away from that giant newbie alliance, but the swap really did them little favors. The previews for next week suggests maybe she can wriggle out of it, but I'll believe Victoria when I see it. It's funny how Aubry keeps ending up with these players who love the chickens so much.
Rick really got swap-screwed. They carried Wendy through 3 votes, just to give themselves more options... And then she swaps away and he's stuck being down 2-3. Blech. That's super unlucky.
Nah, he had the chance to vote out Kelly in episode 3. Voting out Chris was a mistake that cost him and will cost David. Also, trusting someone that refers to themselves in the 3rd person is always a mistake.
I'm treating DvG as a fluke that turned out to be a happy accident of US Survivor greatness and now we're back to the new normal. I'll still, gladly, take Australian Survivor's normal over this show in its current state. Perhaps the casting shakeup prior to Season 39 will improve things. Perhaps it won't.
Hopefully DvG will end up being like Philippines in that it's in the middle of several middling to bad seasons before a run of good seasons.I'm treating DvG as a fluke that turned out to be a happy accident of US Survivor greatness and now we're back to the new normal.

Pretty much.
Actually not really. It's a bunch of people being giant shits to each other because they are starving and literally have nothing else to do.Is it weird that Island of Extinction is more entertaining to me than any of the game proper?
It's not even that. It's more about the familial aspect. The weird koombayah that's coming from all needing to work together without the stress of strategy or a vote, but simply from surviving until some random challenge some time down the road.Actually not really.

I mean, it kinda has to just be an eventual competition to rejoin the game, right? There's nothing else it can be. It's essentially redemption island that's more brutal for them, and more boring for usHave they shown what The Edge of Extinction is yet (like.. out of the show), or are we still waiting to see what they're doing with all the people there? They're going to have to kick out a lot of people for good unless they start doing something soon.

A vote would be quite cool, but the returnee has to get back to the game with an advantage or HII, right?
I think this season is better than I expected so far. It's not great, but there are some great people here and the potential is there. It's too bad Kama is just too good.
I would honestly say this season has pretty good casting, it's just a mix of a bad gimmick mixed with some weird luck that has made it pretty boring. Decent casting with bad production choices make for a meh season.
I'm gonna bet on a double Lesu loss. Because they just can't win. I don't even know who half of these people are. Super worried the second half of this season will suck.
It was. I'm also mad at Keith for being an idiot was didn't start a hard sprint after he was out of eyesight. Not too shocking given he had no clue about the map either. It didn't even pay off for him in any way. Now people are upset with him and he didn't even get the stuff. I thought it was going to be if you reach this point you are automatically back in the game or something.
Extra vote on the way for David... thanks to a vintage MAD Magazine fold-in.
