This is the best female cast in a long time. Everyone of them left in the game has potential, I swear if we get a damn male winner this season.

Quick reminder that Probst apparently didn't like this season, which is usually a sign of a female winner, or at the very least he thinks a favourite of his was robbed in some way

Jeff likes big seasons with dramatic, iconic moments. We've had none of those. No real standout players. No big surprises. It's just been a lot of mediocre. 

Even what was supposed to be a dramatic tribal this week was just tricky editing. With Wentworth and Lauren not playing their idols, I knew right away which way the vote was going (either Ron or Eric) and it was more of a landslide than a blindside. 

There has yet to be an episode that I walked away from wowed. It's a paint by numbers Survivor with a paint by numbers cast and a bit of returning player glitter sprinkled on top. It's not bad. It's just not that good either. 

 

 

I will add that Wentworth is growing on me, but I would still have preferred an all-new cast. 

Pretty alright season post merge.

As a viewer, yes, we knew when they didn't play the idols what would happen but that doesn't take away from the actual blindside and the reactions of Eric, Rick & Ron.  That was a great episode.  Eric and those 4 were absolutely blindsided.

The gameplay has actually been great all around instead of just one or two people running it.  You're definitely in the minority here but maybe with the majority on viewers--not sure--but, for me, this is the best season in a while and what the game should look like with returning players.

To say anything about this season is “mediocre” is completely ridiculous lol. And there has been zero proof that Jeff dislikes this season because the same person who kept coming on here saying Jeff hated this season also said Wentworth flopped, the season was going to be terrible, and a few other made up things. So the whole Jeff not liking thiss eason hung was a load of BS to begin with coming from someone who pretended to be more important than they really were.

This episode was great, the season has been great, and obviously something happens next week that shocks Jeff and the jurors so I’m sure the rest of the season will be great too. Jeff loves good gameplay and a lot of this cast, especially the females, have been bringing it.

Lol Morris i thought you and Lurker were fine now Lol

Obviously, that's subjective. I'm a fan of seasons with over the top personalities with lots of nail-biting blindsides and power moves. This season has none of that. 

There are no heroes to root for or villains to despise.  It's just a bunch of pretty cool people completing in weekly events and every three days one of those ok people goes over to the "waiting on the beach" tribe after a totally unsurprising tribal.   In the end, it's a tossup as to who will win and it really doesn't matter who wins. They're all just fine.

That's this season in a nutshell.

Now you can like that type of season, that's on you - but not everyone has to agree. 

 

I’d say the joe vote out was one of the most calculated vote offs we’ve seen in a while. but go off sis

The Joe vote was the easiest vote this season. The best competitor didn't have immunity after the merge. If one thing is predictable in Survivor it's that the best competitor gets voted out in situations like that.

Agreed as it was an easy vote but while you think everything has been predictable those on the show have been blindsided. You're not making a lot of sense. I agree that how one views the season is subjective but you're discounting gameplay far too much
