Official Survivor 36: Ghost Island Thread

[fw91]

Season Premieres Wednesday the 28th. Hopefully they don't obviously rig it like last season. Unfortunately, the final 4 fire twist is probably back. Anyway let's meet the cast.

Between Game Changers and HvHvH, for the first time ever, I'm feeling a little scarred by Survivor.

Didn't Probst indeed say the Final 4 twist would be reoccurring?

I didn’t think Game Changers was terrible. Weakest of of the all returnee seasons for sure, but it wasn’t bad. HvHvH pissed me off to no end. Not even redemption island was so obviously rigged.

Yeah, hate to sound cynical but I really think they created it for Ben, but had the conscious mind to bring it back for s36 (filmed way before the s35 finale aired) so fans wouldn’t claim production foul play. After the negative feedback hopefully they’ll scrap it for s37

[Shy Guy]

Cast looks really decent, but everyone keeps getting younger and younger 😫😫lol

It's just... all the twists and idols, man. When you have people being voted out due to twists and idols and not the gameplay of themselves or others... that's bad.

My hopes are not high for this season, but you can bet I'll watch it obsessively anyway.

To piggy back on this, if someone is voted out because they *don't* have an idol....

[fw91]

I mean I can appreciate idol plays in moderation. Help stop pagongings, and add a different element of strategy in terms of defending their attack so to speak. There is overkill though like Cirie going home, and operation make Ben win

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

So what's the gimmick for this season, since vanilla Survivor no longer seems to be a thing?

The gimmick is (seemingly) ALL THE GIMMICKS!

So Russo has basically seized control of the series.

Well then. I'm just going to have to see what kind of a f***ing trainwreck this turns into.

[fw91]

uh oh. Army veteran Angela. Check her bag for idol after idol.

Survivor: Sexy Teenager Island

Keep forgetting, honestly.

[Jumpin' Jesse Walsh]

I am so ready for what I'm predicting will be a season of Big Moves^TM, Resume Building ^TM, and Probst torpedoing the game just to save his alpha male faves.

[fw91]

so like how are all of these advantages a curse?

[fw91]

Chubby Guy with the Jew Fro' got a lot of screen time without saying anything.
