Here is my prediction for TAR31. I know that there are spoilers out for this season but I haven't looked at any. If this turns out to be partially/mostly/completely accurate I swear it was just educated guessing.

11th - Art & J.J. - We didn't see this one coming, but perhaps we should have. They are seven years older and seven years fatter than last time they raced, and as I said before, it's entirely possible that their success in TAR20 was attributed largely to the abnormally high number of incompetent teams that season.

10th - Rupert & Laura - Corinne and Eliza got it right when they said they are old and fat. Neither of them was ever truly a physical powerhouse in Survivor other than Rupert in his very first appearance 16 years ago. I can't decide if they'll be a target due to Rupert's popularity or a non-target because of their lack of physicality but the truth is I don't think it will matter.

9th - Bret & Chris - The third of three old/fat teams; I don't think this will be a kind season to that type of team. And they won't be missed either. Easily the most baffling casting choice this season.

8th - Corinne & Eliza - Again, they are not physical players, and they survived the first leg due to the incompetence/inabilities of two other teams, one of which is already eliminated so that's one less cussion for them. They'll be entertaining as heck while they're around, but I don't think that will be for long. And with that, the Survivor teams are officially out of the running.

7th - Tyler & Korey - They are very strong but not invincible. The fact that they came in third (not even second) on a season that was theirs to lose says a lot about the "one bad leg" factor. They could easily be a surprise episode 6 or 7 boot.

6th - Becca & Floyd - Last time Floyd got really fatigued as the race went on and I foresee that happening again. One placement below their previous finish for tougher competition.

5th - Colin & Christy - Putting them here because I want to see how well they do after all these years away from the race.

4th - Janelle & Brittany - Get cut just before the final leg.

3rd - Rachel & Elissa - Because Rachel finishing 3rd in TAR is a tradition.

2nd - Leo & Jamal - I would be stunned if they don't make the finals this time. That being said...

1st - Nicole & Victor - I'm going out on a limb and saying that the season is NOT won by TAR alumni, and Nicole & Victor hit all the right notes for TAR winners - young, fit, smart (eh, arguably... they know how to game), attractive, work well together, I don't see any flaws to keep them from winning and Nicole from being the first person to win two of the big three.

On the other side, I wonder if just their appearance out there is what made them decide. "Okay, we love these guys, it is time to swing for the fence and go all winners"

Well they lasted one more episode than I expected.

Obviously things can go sideways at any point on this show, but Leo and Jamal definitely feel like the team to beat here.

Anyway, discussing Survivor:

I'm usually very doom and gloom about stuff, but this was probably one of the better episodes of the season. A whole bunch of characterization from most of the cast, and the strategy wasn't overbearing (mainly because it was between two obvious targets). And to top it off, we booted the chief "you need to make big moves and blindsides on Survivor" proponent.

Well you're right because what this episode also did was give us more of an idea of who in the real game is putting themselves in a position to be successful and reasons to want to like them. So it is a good attempt of bringing the attention back to the main game. And that is where this season is hurting the most. I don't know who I am supposed to be rooting for, I don't know who I am supposed to be rooting against, I don't know who is the favorite, who is the dark horse, have an idea who is an underdog. I think I know who is drawing dead but every week I think that those people get more confessionals and then that doesn't even factor who may be coming back into the game either. And even tonight they still gave a strong strong EoE segment keeping me really invested over there. I wish EoE would have ended at the merge and we had Survivor regular but oh well. It is not bottom 5 in my opinion and that's all you can ask for I suppose.

I still don't get why the Kamas were ignored so much when they're 5 of the final 7. Instead you get 3 of the biggest characters of the season booted all in a row leaving us with a ton of people the edit hasn't given us much of a reason to care about.

random rating thoughts

Survivor this season had its ups and downs, I enjoyed it for the most part, but that makes it a bottom half season. I was thinking maybe around where I would put something like Samoa, or a bit higher than that.

BBCAN7 I would compare to BB19 except that no ones a returnee and there isn't anywhere close to the vitriol of BB19. Its pretty cool seeing pretty much everyone, including me, writing off the pretty boys at the beginning for the estes/chelseas/eddies/damiens of the house, and now (I havent seen spoilers) they are in the final 5. Their run has been just spectacular and dominant, and comparable to the kims and the robs (if they were a group of 4 and if they won just a few more challenges like the pretty boys did). (This makes the season like bottom third/quarter of BBs Ive seen though.

Thinking back on Kaoh Rong, it really is amazing to have a season whose boot order looks like a reverse boot order. You can completely flip the season, and it still makes perfect sense.
