I think I am rooting for Rick Devins because I am little more towards the "gamebot type" but he plays a little more emotion than most. I also had this inkling about Lauren as the winner but she has had an episode or two without a confessional so who knows. Maybe my inkling is for Victoria.

Eh, I find Victoria to be a letdown. I just expected more out of her than we've gotten. I don't think it's all her fault. Her allies have been killing their games and she's tried to stop it and that's left her in a spot where she can't do anything. For me, she's pretty much just coasting on the episode where she got rid of Aubry.

I think this is what is going to make her run circles around the rest of these guys in the next couple of votes when they continue to target each other.

I think the fact that her casting forced them to call up four returnees in the first place was probably part of it. Seriously, the addition of Aubry/Joe/David/Kelley feels so slapped-together that it's like casting couldn't solidify eighteen characters for a standalone season.

this season has been really disappointing after we had one of the best seasons ever a few months ago.

the whole edge of extinction is possibly the worst twist in survivor history imo and the season could have still been good had there been a solid cast...there hasn't been at all. i like victoria and kinda like devens (though only as a character, he seems like a douche irl) and that is p much it for me

This season has actually been slightly better than my rock-bottom expectation. I dont think its great, but it has had its moments, and its not a bottom 5 season for me or anything.

That said, after last night its hard to stay invested. The editing hasnt really given me a reason to care about anyone left in the game sans Rick.

I don't hate EoE. But now, because the characters in the main game are not as fleshed out I am more invested in EoE and then the main game and that's really bad. And I am positive about Survivor so damn much and I currently have it better than rock bottom but we're going to need a good finish.

tar31 was pretty good, even though it did the typical first episode thing where i barely have a feel for any of the teams left (outside of their prior appearances)

survivor was just disappointing
i'm not necessarily mad at them for booting the returnees, but i can't pretend to be excited by anyone left either. its just so much less joyous and engaging than last season.

I'm not going to say too much on my placement of S38 because I will be doing a personal ranking this summer but I will say that it is exceeding my expectations (granted, my expectations were like, a small step above RI/SP).

TAR31 looks decent so far. At least we had a great result in the first episode.

If you thought they were bad tonight, you would have been in disbelief at how bad they were originally. The worst thing about one of the worst seasons ever.

So it's 5 TAR teams, 3 survivor, 3 BB?

Maybe they felt since it's TAR they should be more represented, but I wish they'd gone 4 Survivor / 4 BB.... Those are what I'm here to see!

All-Star seasons of TAR tend to have shocker first boots.

John Vito and Jill in 11
Jet and Cord would have been in 18 had it not been for the 1st leg NEL
Twinnies in 24


I mean I guess it comes with the territory of there being so many high-caliber teams present. IMO Art and JJ kinda showed that they were probably overrated in 20 and did so well largely on the fact that there were so many utterly incompetent teams that season even deep into the race.

Art & JJ had the sixth-highest average placement of all time, going into this season.

I don't have my spreadsheet on this computer, but I believe the order was...

Eric & Jeremy
Rachel & Dave
Meghan & Cheyne
Justin & Diana
Dave & Connor (24)
Art & JJ

So yeah, them going out in leg 1 is unexpectedly awesome.

They're up there, but they had two legs early on around 7th/8th. I think the TOP top tier can only afford one low placement maximum.

Okay, looking at the season, it seems like not only did Nick & Starr have a string of 6/6/5 placements...but the season only had eleven legs, so not only did they have multiple sub-third placements, but there were fewer legs than a lot of seasons to dilute the average.

The best part about Dan and Andrew making the finals is that it wasn't even Dallas losing his passport that did it. They beat Ken and Tina that leg, so they would've made it there regardless.

A memory came up for me on Facebook today in which I declared that night's Survivor the best episode in years. Looked up the episode that aired on that date and it was the Will vs. Shirin episode. Obviously that opinion does not even remotely hold up today. I have no idea why I thought that unless I thought Will had been owned or something. Even back then I was a Shirin fan so I dont know why I would have had a positive opinion about that episode.
