Survivor AU - Redemption

Mark has put a big target on his back with that move on Cat.

Barren standing around bored, Elizas facefall with Jacksons voiceover when he said "girlfriend". Editing is funny as!

Good, fun challenges again. Lyndl almost blew that idol swap, she's lanky and annoying.

I'm actually loving David, he's doing great, looks great, and sounds even better to me. Appears slightly empathetic towards the players too.

Sad to see Eliza go, she was a crack up! Now we need the wrath of Jackson, and which way will he go. Harry might be playing moves ahead, with his vote for Loz, he can tell Jackson he didnt lie to him.
 
Eliza was pretty funny in an awkward way. I'd rather she'd stayed than Loz who is bringing nothing to the table so far.

Jackson is like another Simon, loveable himbo lol. I think he's gonna be a fan favourite

Mark is so so cooked lol. Gonna be fun to see him be the first returnee out.

Just wondering if JLP was cut for budgetry reasons, Ten/Paramount after all are trying to save money, reportedly so anyway. I guess David Genet wouldn't cost them half as much in terms of salary. I think he's fairly ordinary as host, and man, he's so trying to channel JLP in the tribal council parts of the episodes.

They will lose far more in advertising than they've saved in salary. It's now down to 365k viewers - the equivalent episode had 486k viewers last year.

No one can fill JLP's shoes, and I wish he was still there, but I like David, he and George are my two favourite players for their flamboyance and strategy -- I wish they'd gotten a fair chance to play against each other last season. I've noticed David is more personally invested and compassionate than JLP (ironic considering his game play), which is to be expected since he knows the player experience so intimately. It's not that JLP was callous, in fact I loved his nonchalant laugh. The contestants would be totally suffering and he'd just be "He he he" with his hands on his hips. So there's a different dynamic for sure, but David is doing alright. I just wish the host change was under different circumstances, such as JLP moving on to take over from Jeff Probst.

My strongest feelings so far are that Mark totally gives me the ick. I find him so slimy and condescending, thinking he's gathering his ladies around him when really he's chum in the water and they're sharks. I guess I want him to stay a bit longer because we need an irritant to create some friction, but Johnson can go *now* please.
 
Don has a face for radio. Mark knows how to play people. Caleb is cluey. Mark has won two challenges on the last hurdle now. Saving his own ass.

I really wanted Lyndl to go! Lottie is sneaky, and possibly silly for sharing with Simon. It seemed like everyone knew what was going on except for blind Harry.

I have only caught up to Monday’s
episode and might wait until the rest go up on Paramount + to avoid all the ads.

Am really enjoying this season despite all
the nay saying about the new host, and the reduced numbers. I think if 10 had handled the switch w JLP and David better, the audience would be more forgiving. Just thanking JLP for an excellent 10 years and announcing on the show that they were
going to switch hosts.

What is refreshing with David is a different quality to tribal council & the questioning. Also I feel like more players are getting airtime and more balance, but I could be wrong.

I still look forward to each and every episode as I did before and wish we had a DVR so we could just skip the ads lol.

In episode 4, I was surprised how out of the loop Harry was. He could literally have said to just about anyone “what have you been hearing” and he would have been in the loop.
I’m not sure why he was just frozen up like that.
