What's up with the random "Oh Yeah!"? Did the Kool-Aid Man join the show?

Let's just say Lauren looks like she's more well-equipped to fight with her family.

sorry no amount of sleek production work can get me hyped about the island of extinction twist.

Did that feel way more eerie than perhaps it should've for anyone else watching? I know this is SURVIVOR, a game where you SURVIVE stuff like the unforgiving wilderness and even more unforgiving gameplay by other people who hope to win a lot of cash. Still though, it's a game show that's always been more light-hearted than dark. And, that definitely felt like some type of 'extinction'.

echoing Spiderfab's point I'd just like to say that the actual scene on Extinction Island was very well done IMO. played up the mystery of it quite effectively.
outside of that though I wouldn't call this a very good premiere. solid b-minus/c-plus.

I’m so bummed they didn’t include this moment in the premiere:
I guess it would have taken too much attention away from the returning players.

And hey, for people who don't listen to or read preseason content, they'd probably know about as much about the twist as Reem did. I think it works.

I know everything is edited and condensed, but it still never ceases to amaze me how some people don’t realize they’re cooking their own goose at tribal.
I don’t think it was a fait accompli that Reem was going out when they got to tribal, but she was so combative during it that she earned herself the votes right there.
As for the rest of the show, I didn’t really get a good feel for anybody just yet.

I already dislike the Manu majority, if only because of how they immediately singled out Reem, Keith, and Wendy simply on the basis that they're not younger, white, and neurotypical respectively. Such a dark microcosm of society at large.
The worst part was Rick referring to Wendy, a person with Tourette syndrome, as a "whirling dervish." Like, piss off, dude.

Such a dark microcosm of society at large. Idk about that. They committed the major mistake of physicaly breaking off from the majority early on. makes it easy to pick them off.

I mean, I don’t think the majority acted super consciously or anything, but that shows how unconscious bias can be. And it’s not like they separated themselves deliberately either. Reem and Wendy were just teaching Keith how to swim, and it would’ve been met with much less suspicion had it been any of the other two members of the tribe. Reem’s response to being targeted definitely wasn’t the most productive way to go about it, but that’s only after she was put in that impossible, can’t-win scenario a lot of older women on this show are put in where they’re ostracized for either not embracing the “mama bear” role enough or leaning into that role too much.
