I've been rewatching China. It's SUCH a stark contrast to how soulless modern Survivor feels.

And this is with two idols in the game and an unfair twist that screwed over Aaron (but at least the aftermath with James, PG, and Jaime was awesome to watch). Contrast this with modern Survivor where the producers think that seemingly everyone needs to have some sort of advantage to make the game "interesting."

This has really become about Out-idoling and Out-advantaging everyone else.

So, we're just at the beginning of episode 2 and there are already three idols in play? I hate modern Survivor.

Maybe Tommy winning will be the straw that broke the camel's back and show the producers you don't need to have a million advantages thrown at you in order to win.

Jk everyone starts the game with 5 idols let's goooooo!

Shhhh, don't give Probst any ideas.

Reynold probably should have been back by now but he fits in a very overcrowded category of cocky male challenge beasts. Who else would be in got Caramoan?

Laura Alexander deserves a second chance IMO.

I'm only watching this reunion for the S40 preview. I will give production a pass for S40 since I'll be excited to see some of my favorite players ever (no matter how many advantages and idols I see), but if I don't see any attempt to move on from the Advantage Era in S41 I will definitely check myself out from watching the show. I would see to see a back to basic type season which just one idol and not another absurd format change or a litany of advantages again.

The Mana Sword posted... its crazy that just a year ago we were watching one of the best seasons in the past 5 years and now this

what a complete farce. Im still excited for S40 but if it didnt have the theme it does Im honestly not sure Id even watch the show in the spring.

I had given up on this season after the second episode. First time I've ever quit watching a season. For me it's all about how exhausting the entire Meta/Modern Era has become (See Peridiam's video on Survivor Eras if you don't know what I mean). There's no reason for me to continue watching if I'm going to have to keep hearing about Advantages, Big Moves, and Building Resumes in every future season. And then there's the fact that we've been seeing the exact same beaches over the past 5 years.

I'm still gonna watch S40 since it's gonna be fantastic no matter what era we're in, but after that I'm gonna check myself out completely unless they finally make some serious attempts to freshen up the show.

Oh yeah theres definitely more slots.

I replaced my HDD with an SSD earlier this year, and this is what I've done:

1. Physically install the SSD into an empty slot and connect it to the Motherboard with a new SATA cable.
2. Use Macrium Reflect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrium_Reflect) to clone all the data from the old HDD onto the new SSD.
3. Remove the old SATA cable from the HDD.

I still have the HDD in its current slot but it's not connected to anything.

First 30 mins and I'm already tired of the constant meta-gaming going around (which has been prevalent in every 30s season except for Koah Rong). "She's a guaranteed winner so we have to vote her out first."

Just for those who might not be in the know in regards to the upcoming Canadian election, there have been incidents where such shady things have also been revealed in the past for a few Conservative candidates, and you can bet that many hyper-partisan leftists have already called for their resignation. These are the same leftists that are passing this Trudeau incident off as not a big deal.

That's the real hypocritical thing to me - you can either have it one way or the other, not this double standard.

Remember, it was only last summer when Jeff Probst told Us Weekly that, We cant do all winners We have 10 great winners that youd want to see play again. We dont have 20. We dont have 18. Some of the winners dont want to play again. Some of the greats are like, No, were done.

Oh fuck off, Probst. I bet you weren't thinking of someone like Danni Boatwright or Kim Spradlin on that list of 10 great winners.

This season was designed to lure the Survivor and Big Brother fans with the hope their teams would stick around longer to hold their investment.

Funny how that works.

While Donald Trump reported hundreds of millions of dollars in losses for 1990 and 1991, Fred Trump's returns showed a positive income of $53.9 million, with only one major loss: $15 million invested in his son's latest apartment project.

I immediately thought of this:

Based on his edit I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. Looking at Victoria, she has been on the right side of the votes every time and yet due to her subdued edit I think she loses in the F3.

As shitty of a gimmick EoE is, we have to be really lucky to have Reem on this season. She actually makes EoE bearable to watch!

Of course, I don't want that kind of Tony. I meant "serious" as in "not wanting to throw his game in the first episode" like in Game Changers.

Also, that's a good point about Hatch. I just can't see them wanting to follow through with this and not bringing him back, though.

Will be so awesome to see Kim Spradlin back. Would she be able to dominate the game again as she did in One World? Plus we would finally see some old-school female winners back, like Vecepia and Danni (finally a returnee from Guatemala!). Will also be great to have Michele Fitz back - screw Probst!

I could see JT having an insane rollercoaster of a 4-season story arc. Of course, the legend Hatch has to be back as well. Will be great to see a really underappreciated winner like Earl back as well. Plus I hope that Tony Vlachos will be serious this time, lol.

So many possibilities!
