It was good, but I don't think anyone will ever top Coach in his boot episode in Tocantins.

The first half was. Then the second half devolved into Cambodia-Esque modern storytelling.

This show was NOT built off of "these people aren't #playingthegame because no one wants to make a #BIGMOVE to randomly take out an ally for seemingly no reason". Maybe if they'd built Missy up as super close to Karishma, to explain why she'd stick her neck out to save the most obvious boot on that tribe. Maybe if they'd planted seeds of doubt as to why Chelsea would be excised from the women's alliance, while Karishma was not. Modern Survivor has become FAR too focused on "let's throw out as many names as possible so we can have a #blindside at tribal council" that they no longer care about coherent storytelling.

I did see an interview with Probst in which he explicitly stated that the editors are now focused on telling stories on an episode by episode basis rather than a narrative for the season, and that he's okay with that. Also explains why edgic has been so fucked up more often than not for the past 10 seasons or so.

And this is why modern Survivor Is inferior nowadays, unfortunately. Because rather than build up Chelsea/Dean as a showmance over the course of several episodes (perhaps giving Dean content, rather than erasing him from a ninety minute premiere), they just throw the showmance in here, justifying why everyone is suddenly okay with betraying the womens alliance to boot Chelsea as literally the third choice of a target.

Its a twisted cycle that sends the show on a downward spiral. The edit hypes up blindsides and big moves as being amazing; then they edit the show on an episode-by-episode basis so the fans dont think Hey. Wardog got blindsided because he stupidly targeted David and Kelley.; then the players see the edit and think the only way to play the game and get respect is making big moves and blindsiding people; then because everyone flips and betrays one another constantly, the editors are forced to edit the season in a sloppy fashion with zero storyline continuity; and so on and so forth.

Im not sure I get that vote, but like, the correct strategy for old Vokai is to just throw the next two challenges, vote off Dean and Karishma and then go into the merge with a 9-4 advantage, so I guess its fine

Karishma was a blatant outsider on her original tribe, and it's not like Tom has been THAT useful in challenges. Karishma was someone who could be used by Vokai down the road...Tom was not.

I'm finding Survivor entertaining in different reasons this season. It just feels funnier for some reason, almost like it is just taking itself a little less seriously than normal. I'm fine with big moves because what the players are conditioned to talk about in this era of Survivor and Big Brother. The players view it as a game show, so if we get character stuff in the first half of the episode like we did today and them game stuff in the second half then I'm down. But fact of the matter is the strategy has to be explained the best it can be without giving away and that needs screen time and the way Survivor has changed it is a love or leave it kind of world.

Nope, turns out I wasn't spoiled. The article title I saw mentioned the Dean/Kellee connection, which was benign enough but I still don't like seeing names mentioned when I haven't seen the episode yet. But I kinda forgot about it as the episode progressed and I did pinpoint Tom as the boot regardless of what I had seen, so yay me!

Wardog last season

Wardog wasn't this bad. Lyrsa might be a more appropriate comparison but even she was more competent than Karishma.

I think we're going all the way back to Cochran 1.0 to find someone on this level.

So I was thinking this morning, other than Vince I have been fine with these early boots so far. An overbearing jackass, a pretty do-nothing, half of a showmance, and a condescending curmudgeon.

Has anyone said why Lairo had Karishma swim in the last challenge over Janet? The three people other than Dean that were on the platform literally did nothing the entire challenge, which is a perfect place to stick someone useless. Did one of them say on twitter that they were throwing it, because that's the only reason I can think of.

Man, I dont wanna be negative, but I just did a quick ranking of the cast after five episodes, and this is just SUCH an uninspiring group of people. Everyone is so normal and so many personalities revolve around the game. I cant even HATE anyone, because no one is showcasing enough personality to inspire hatred.
