I think a poor move in the short term for my player (Tiyana). Burns bridges with Kyle and gives them a lesser chance in challenges before the swap/merge. Sue wasn't an ally and is a detriment in challenges. Why keep her over TK... TK was a great meat shield as well, that alliance could have done well together.

Ya, not great for Tiyana's game, and he seems pretty bull headed, so would have been good for entertainment value to see that all collapse around him later.
I'm wondering about my pick of our Canadian, Genevieve. She's had what seems like 3 seconds of screen time. Probably not gonna be a winner. Nice to see red keep winning though, given both my picks are on that tribe!

I picked a couple of duds, my goodness. The way Rome is playing he'll be gone soon too.
Sigh.

Some interesting twist and turns in there, and a couple chickens in the Idol game. That's a shame, I love the box idea. I'd have liked to see the final Idol idea/task.
I like how Tiyana talks a big game about being sure to separate her feelings and emotions from her strategy, and then turns around and blows that tribe apart because she 'felt disrespected'...from nothing even directed at her. I'm with TK on this one. A tribe shouldn't be happy to lose, especially an Immunity challenge.
I wonder what this'll do to Kyle, though. He had that certain hayseed naivete I think this'll deal with.
I thought that Rachel's plot to steal rice was impressive and amusing. I wasn't sure if she'd get away with it, but hell...some smart on the spot thinking to at least try it.
I liked that challenge, too. That's a solid new take on the Snake puzzle.

I don't know...TK knows so much about winning yet he was the 2nd out. Winning survivor isn't about winning all the dumb team challenges. Guy set himself up to lose and lost.
The title of the episode was "epic boss girl move" two weeks in a row they spoil the result with the title

Watched the first two episodes this afternoon. Yikes, my players look like duds at this point. That said, I’m not sure I’ve been impressed with anyone. Both tribes that went to tribal made clearly bad choices in my opinion.

It’s funny that we both used ‘dud’ to describe Rome. Perfect word for him I guess.

Agreed not impressed. I think this is a very weak season so far.
Jeff was applauding these new players for wearing their hearts on their sleeves but that's actually what is wrong with the game these days.
When there were actual villains it was much, much more interesting.

3 weeks in and players are all like "I have no choice but to follow so and so and do what they want" like what the hell you always have a choice

Not a stellar start but it is weird to see all three tribes hit elimination on the first 3 episodes

It’s jarring coming back from months of watching Australian survivor to the US one.

IMO, It’s like a Beer League vs the MLB. Except that the Beer League started the game with a great idea but then decided to switch to non alcoholic…

I was thinking CFL vs NFL. The CFL has a much longer history, but in 2024 the NFL is clearly the more entertaining product.

Wow quite the episode! Players using advantages and not afraid to make bold moves. How refreshing after last season.
