Random tech question, but does anyone know how the cast is mic'd? Things like the opening water ring challenge, how are they making it so you can hear the contestants when they speak?
Everyone else basically saw it as The Real World on the beach at the time. Which, really, was the only comparison we had honestly.Went back to Season 1 to pass the time until the new Winners at War episode. Good golly gosh, it's painful to watch. It's so slow and poorly edited. The music is often terrible. And the players are absolute morons when it comes to voting. Rich deserved to win the season by virtue of just realizing that he was playing a game at all. Everybody else was just having party time on the beach.
Guys, I just learned that Yul learned of the potential to pit a poker alliance target on others because he read my GD article and I haven't been able to stop beaming since.
Turns out the old school players can still teach the new schoolers some new tricks when it comes to returning player seasons.

I haven't watched Survivor since Heroes Vs Villains, but this concept brought me back in. The game is so different now.
I will say that watching this season having not seen how half of these winners won their respective seasons does make this really fun to watch. I know they are all gifted enough to be there and have the skills needed to win, but I haven't seen what skills those are yet.
Well done on impacting Survivor history! My condolences that Tyson and Boston Rob will now track you down and beat you up. :p
Have one of them put you into a headlock while the other gives you a noogie and have a photo taken so we can see it.I'm probably going to Reno for Run it Up, too, so the beat down is likely!
That's understandable. Rich has a video about that on his channel, explaining his version of how it all unfolded. IF you believe him, then he was actually quite done dirty by CBS (leaving it ambiguous what actually happened in the episode, while him, Sue and their lawyers saw clear footage of it that left no room for ambiguity concerning whether he or any part of him touched her). And if he's right, then it's also a mess of CBS's own making which was completely avoidable. Of course, they dealt with S39 quite badly as well, so that's par for course apparently.
I watched that video, and kind of checked out when he started going on about Sue's "mental instability". Once the gaslighting starts, I'm out.That's understandable.

Understandable. Him going that route made me unconfortable as well, at first, but I kept watching. It made me realize it's just impossible for us/me to judge. Luckily, of course, my judgement doesn't matter at all, and I don't have to judge to begin with.I watched that video, and kind of checked out when he started going on about Sue's "mental instability".

Oh right, that happened as well. Man, there's some uncomfortable moments on Survivor throughout the seasons. And CBS is not good at dealing with that at all.There's a Survivor fan all over Twitter, Reddit, SurvivorSucks (message board), etc. that is truly convinced that Ghandia from season 5, Thailand, will return for a Second Chances 2 which is rumored for season 42. Not a chance in hell. She had her own really uncomfortable metoo moment on the show, in which the edit made her look the bad guy. No way CBS would ever put her back on for the same reason.
You know how Denise has a great tribal council skill set.
