Kelley and Chrissy on hero tribe? Lol

Chrissy fits both, same with Michaela or even Natalie A. and Kelley would absolutely be on Heroes, I'm not sure why that's even being questioned

Chrissy is one of the biggest female villains in a long time. Kelley is too snarky and mischevious to be a hero. But she is always an underdog which makes her the hero. I want a premerge boots only season. 

I've been on a Survivor binge this summer and just finished Redemption Island and I finally understand why it is listed as the worst season ever. This cast holy shit... for all I care Rob is still 0-4 idc idc (jk of course)

Are there any seasons like this I should avoid to save my time?

Without spoiling anything, the next two seasons were pretty bad as well(South Pacific & One World), though SoPa is the best of the three.

Those were actually the first three seasons I watched before I got really into the show and binged watched older seasons, I'm a little surprised looking back that I wasn't completely turned off the show

Redemption Island and South Pacific are tragic. I actually enjoyed One World on my rewatch. The post merge girls are iconic but a tragic guys cast.

Queen Christina Cha having everyone pressed for some reason. Iconic.

Thoughts on Caramoan? I was thinking about starting that one next.

I... kinda agree? They were lowkey comedic gold and actually had personality. Plus Kim and Chelsea are just so likeable imo unlike anyone from season 22

Redemption Island only had Philip as entertainment and that just got sad and exploitative after a while.

Caramoan might be my least favorite season. I can't stomach Cochran and Phillip and they monopolized majority of the airtime. Dawn was sooo annoying. The favorites were beyond tragic, worst casting ever. Ugh, I hate this season.

Meh, pretty bad overall but I like Malcolm and he kept things exciting for a couple episodes with his alliance but the fans were all cast for the sole purpose of losing to the favourites, and the favourites cast was pretty bad considering they had a ton of good options. Similar to RI, the winner was chosen from before the season started and the whole cast was designed around them

They could have easily put a great favs cast together too smh. Natalie B, Stephen/Kenny, Troyzan/Marty, Holly, Chelsea and/or Sabrina all would have been good additions at the time. Dawn, Phillip, Fran and Brandon had no business being there

Lol Production for 41 is suspended again.

Kinda silly. They could easily book out a plan for cast & crew, test before and upon arrival. Fiji is safe.

They can also go to another locate that would allow them to film easily and maybe have a 16 person cast for a season to lessen the cast.

So, thanks to COVID, staying home safe and CBS All Access, I have finally lost my Survivor virginity!! My roommate and I have been watching Big Brother from the beginning but when she is away, I needed something to watch. And I love it!! Finished season one and currently on episode four of season two. But I have a question.

 I seem to remember everyone hating Richard Hatch way back in the day so I really thought I would too. But I really liked him. Does that put me in the minority? Or am I remembering things wrong? I realize that since I never watched the show, I could very well have it wrong so now I am curious. Anyone care to fill me in? Thanks!!

Nowadays Richard is a pretty well respected character & OG player from pretty much every Survivor fan. Can't speak as to opinions from 20 years ago when I was a child but my guess would be that the majority of fans were new to reality TV and just naturally rooted against the villians, Jerri was another that seemed to get a lot of hate back then but is well respected today. 

Also, I'm so jealous of you right now, it's probably been almost a decade since I went back and watched from the beginning(First season I watched was 22). I got a little too curious and spoiled a lot for myself though, I think I went and watched All Stars after like season 2 as well which was a big mistake

I ******* loved Jerri....as a BethS./Katie vindicated outcast/villain fan, she gave me what I needed... 

Of course, i only saw survivor (2?)outback, all stars and china......

Thanks for the response!! And I really hope that your comments about Jerri do not mean that she will win season two because so far, I cannot stand her!! LOL Maybe that will change as I get farther into the season but right now, I don’t see that happening. Smile

Can I ask why you like Jerri? I mean, so far, I find nothing likable about her so I am curious. Am I missing something?

Survivor won't be airing in the fall. They were initially going to film as soon as possible and rush the season editing to keep their usual fall season, but the spots been given to the Amazing Race.

U mmmm....lol ...im not entirely sure to be honest, but i can find antagonists/villains entertaining dependant on how the character is portrayed....

Its odd that the biggest fight of her season Alicia vs. Kimmi didn't involve her at all"im tired of you and the ****** chickens"

Oof forgot Colby was a murder victim on Bones lol

 

Finished season two! Never did like Jerri LOL Sorry. While I agree that Colby was robbed, I am not too terribly mad about the results. Frankly, I think they were all lucky that Michael had to go. I believe he had a great shot of winning if he had been able to stay. Anyway, just starting season three and I am on episode two. Can’t wait to see how things play out in Africa!! Smile

Ok. I have to ask. How do you guys stand it? I am just about to finish season five in Thailand and I can’t stand it!! How do you get through a season where there is literally no one that you want to see win a million dollars. It’s unbearable to watch these slimy people and know that one of them walked away with the money!! I am so tempted to just give up on this season and move on to season six!!

so seriously, do any of you ever feel that way about a season? How do you stand it? Maybe this is why I have always avoided these shows where it is decided by a vote. I just want them to say screw it. None of the people left deserve the money. Let’s start all over. LOL Even Jeff Probst seems disgusted with how this season played out!! UGH!!!  Please tell me that season six will be better :/

Yeah I never finished Thailand, and usually it's near the very bottom when I see others season rankings. Amazon(season 6) & Pearl Islands(7) are my favourites of the pre all stars seasons so you definetly have a lot to look forward too there

Thank goodness! I was starting to think I was going to stop enjoying this show. I am down to the final two pigs so I will just suffer it out now that I know there are better seasons to come. Thank you for giving me hope!! LOL

Finally finished Thailand and I have to say that the best episode was the reunion. They finally had Jeff Probst host a reunion and he asked all of the questions that I wanted to know the answers to. I hope they let him host more reunions. 

Thankfully moving on to season six. Wish me luck!! LOL
