I reckon it’s one of the best shows on TV.
Some interesting people this year, not 100% sure who I’m going for yet. I’m warming to Janine, I think she’s been impressive at times. I suspect Black will go pretty well and I wouldn’t mind that.
Andy could be good to watch, although I’m a bit surprised he said so much at tribal council. I thought he was better able to control his emotions, he might have just been overexcited having finally got a chance to go to one. I think he’s potentially giving himself away and/or making people wonder about him. Even Harry seemed a bit unsure. Bit of a challenge for these super fans, they try to play it cool but sometimes they just can’t help themselves!

I might be wrong but I don't think I have ever seen the jury give the million to someone they personally dislike.
I've only seen about 6-7 seasons right thru though.
It seems that it doesn't matter how you got to the end, if the other people dislike/don't respect you, they won't hand you a big pay check.

To me, the earlier survivor series were quite different to the last 10 years, they actually had to find/catch food and drink dirty water and had far less food rewards which really took a toll on those who hadn't physically prepared by training/bulking up/ learning skills ect.
Not much surviving going on these days as the game is nearly entirely ''schemes & strategy''.
Hatch was respected for his actual survival skills/smarts i.e being able to fish and turning up chubby so he didn't starve within a week lol.

I love Survivor. Have since day 1, along with The Amazing Race my two favourite "reality" shows over the last two decades.
I told myself I would not get sucked in this year, so would not watch it as it does take up a lot of time, but alas I have watched all bar one episode so far; so I'm back in again!
I haven't quite figured out who I am barracking for yet; but I was happy the sporting allainace broke up pretty quickly, would have been a tad boring if they stuck tight from day 1.

Agree.
However from a "TV viewing" perspective the plot twists from the scheming and strategy are what hooks the viewers in these days; so the producers are naturally going to focus on that more.
I also think the hidden immunity idols are getting easier to find. It's almost predicatable that a lot of reward items will have a hidden clue on them. I think they could make it a bit more challenging to find them and make for some compelling TV.

Agree with this. I liked the recent idol twist (no spoiler!) and think this is quite creative, it will be interesting to see how it is used.
One o***et I meant to mention: some of the challenges are getting a lot more physical. I don’t remember so many challenges in seasons lag where you have people going head to head in what is essentially a wrestling match. Someone actually got pretty badly injured last year, so there needs to be some sort of limit, but I think it definitely makes the game more challenging for the contestants.

That's definitely a fair and accurate assessment. But the game has definitely evolved and become a much different show since season 1. However it does make for good television now with all the strategy and scheming in the modern day survivor. The show probably wouldn't have lasted 38 seasons if it was more of just season 1.
