I started watching the 2017 series this weekend... I haven’t watched the American series in years. Gotta say it’s been refreshing to watch. I’m aware of the winner but really don’t know too much about the boot order. I’m also aware a “favourite” is eliminated somewhere along the way.
Things I like about the series:
The constant shifting of power and changing alliances. These are smart players who know how to grab power wherever they can and most aren’t willing to just be lead through the game.
The characters. I like the fact that we have clearly likeable people, people you’re relatively indifferent towards, and those you love to hate. I’m finding I’ve generally found something enjoyable with everyone in the cast regardless of whether I favour them or not. The story so far has been dynamic enough that I’ve shifted my opinion several times.
There are well executed twists but not an over reliance on them. There’s also not an over reliance on Idols. The tribe swap was brilliant. The only thing I would have changed was allowing the two coming in to the new tribe to pick to two to leave. That said the way things have played out so far has been interesting.
Jonathan has been great to watch. Reminds me a lot of early Jeff. Jeff I’ve noticed can be quite overbearing at times and unjustly opinionated (especially since he’s taken over as show runner).
How does this series compare to others?
