Survivor AU - Redemption

I just don't care this season, it looks tired to me, maybe it's the casting which is way off, the 4 returnees are all people I wouldn't have wanted back for a second try. And then there's the absence of JLP of course. David is OK, but he's a poor sort of replacement really, he's trying to channel JLP or he's been told to do so by their producers so now he just appears as a bad parody really.
 
Huge ep for midweek! I love how dramatic they made the fire challenge, and how giggly they were about Survivor Daddy and spanking. Good dreams tonight!

There was a lot of talk before we even got to the first challenge. I liked it, it was good to sort out the players and who is where. I am on board to see The Beauties and the Beasts ruin everyone elses plans. As long as Jackson can keep his mouth shut. Everyone was spilling the beans at that challenge.

I have swung back and forth on Faith this episode. At the beginning when she was acting as mediator between Keely and Mark, I thought she's doing well to manage these two powers to her advantage. By the end when she was telling Simon not to share his immunity, I just saw her as bossy. I hope Mark gets her before she gets him, but I can also see how it would change their whole game if Mark goes.

Mark and Simon are really taking up a lot of the screen, and I'm sure they both know it. Simon is having a good run. I am liking Rich more as it goes on, and Aisha has her head in the game now. Caleb is a loose cannon and really could go any way. Brooke better keep that idol hidden cos when they come for her, she can actually play it right.

Not sure how long to merge but it cant be far off now, the masterchef ads have started.
 
Wel, that was a mercy killing. So glad Simon didn't let Faith dissuade him and gave Rich his necklace. I am excited about Beauty and the Beasts, and their potential to make this a more interesting game and show.
 
Well I thought that (episode 10) was a very fun episode. To be fair I missed pieces of the episode having to do some chores of my own but I caught the most important bits, and will watch the rest that I missed tonight.

The outcome of the episode was very satisfying for me.

I’m largely in agreement about some of these newbies conning off as mean spirited. But it gets me invested in the game because then you just want them voted out and it’s not satisfying watching a group of egos delighting in their position and framing. They need to be brought down to earth (unless they’re funny).

I think as viewers we generally want to see the underdogs smash the majority, and right now we are getting that storyline, not that it works the way we want it to. Without knowing the final 5 it looks like things can go in a fair few directions now with the alliances settling in.

Have not watched season 50, didn’t realise it had started. I better get caught up!!!

Did Brooke *need* to play the idol? It was great tv, dont get me wrong, and Im totally on board with idols being played rather than risked, but who voted for her in the end? Brookes alliance had the numbers right?

It was fabulous to see tribal play out like that, baiting some players into total confidence and then stabbing them in the gut. Some great reactions last night. Fun end to the episode.

I didnt much like the deception game with the food. Just isnt an interesting challenge to me, I'd rather an auction but happy they all got that little boost. Sally is a goose.
 
Simon was glistening in the challenge.

Redemption beach is a big twist! So, of the three only one can return? Good way to lose some numbers quick. I expect Caleb back, he's a scrappy player and isn't going to give up.

Rich was smart to vote Keely! Blindsided them all, great move. Knock Faith down a few pegs.
