What a depressing way to end an otherwise excellent premier episode. The hard focus on the personal stories and individual personalities felt really old school. I feel more familiar with this cast as a whole already than I did the Ghost Island cast for a while.
Awful way for his game to end though. Such a complete freak accident.

This episode has not only snatched my wig, but also stomped on it and set it on fire.
This was an amazing premiere.

This was one of the heavier premieres in recent memory to say nothing of the evacuation.
I really wasn’t expecting the harrowing personal stories from the Davids, but it only made me root for them now.

Mundo should make the rounds of all the EVW reality shows...once he is done with Survivor he and Taya need to do The Amazing race. Unless they bend the rules for him like Amazing Race did for Boston Rob, I don't think he could.

Not since Dan on Worlds Apart have I been this irritated, this quickly, with a castaway the way I was with Christian.
I will not be able to take him an entire season.

Caught the ending. Need to watch the first half of the episode to get a better look at the cast and who are the potential players. Crushing end. But I’m hearing very polarizing views on Christian

Different types of people obviously, but if Christian is here for the long haul you have to hope he transforms at some point the way David in MvGX or Ryan in HvHvH did. Otherwise he'll be a bit of a chore.

Otherwise he'll be a bit of a chore. The problem with that is, did Ryan really transform, or did he just get de-emphasized in the edit because the show can't be bothered to make their losing finalists compelling anymore? He got the same thing that Ken got in MvGX: heavy positive coverage in the pre-merge, vanishing act after the merge, and then a few isolated incidents of negative content towards the end to "justify" their loss. This happened to Spencer in Cambodia too, albeit to a much lesser extent. It's for sure one of the worst editing trends in recent years.

If you haven’t listened to the last episode of First One Out, just don’t do it. Pat could be a great guy in real life, but I swear I wanted to rip my own ears off listening to him say “you know?” and “You know what I mean?” approximately 6000 times in his interview.
Or just skip the last hour. It’s torture.

Yaknow since the one Twinnie is a former winner too it seems like people from TAR have an unfair advantage in Survivor somehow, definitely with the social game since both Rob and Twinnie dominated their seasons.

If he's smart Christian will crank up the annoying habits all season long so he can be an easy "take me along as a non-threatening person to sit next to in F3" player that will last all game. I don't think anybody would wish the 1M on him if he stays the true CLB that the former Christian in WWE used to be named.

A few tidbits I liked on the Goliath side:
John dropping all twenty thousand of his nicknames, even the obscure ones. Do YOU know him most as Johnny Blaze?
All of Natalia's screen time being devoted her seething annoyance of Natalie, even when Natalie is literally just standing there breathing. This is no doubt a bid for them to get a blowoff match at WrestleMania 35.
The potential bond between Alison and Angelina where they just drop feminist truth bombs on us. Only 15% of idol finders being women is a depressing stat, and the scene then pivoting to a man finding the idol (and then stuffing it down his pants, mind you) really gave so much more power to their conversation.
Honestly, even if the rest of the season disappoints me, it's always going to have THIS episode to its name. Survivor hasn't made me feel so many emotions in such a long time.

I still need a minute to recover from Nick calling his alliance with Christian "The Mason-Dixon Line."
You can tell this dude used to play online Survivor games, with him naming alliances all over the place.
