    I have no idea if this is unpopular or not, so I'll just throw it out into the ether: I miss the "lame" low-budget challenges of early Survivor. Get rid of the brightly colored playground equipment and give me back buckets of mud, kites, and plates hanging from strings. This is a show about surviving in the wilderness, not American Ninja Warrior.

    Hot take: “Outplay”(both the challenge beasts and the camp life contributors) don’t get as much respect as they should, by juries or fans. I respect a social game and “big moves”, but some people are so obsessed with those concepts that they might as well watch chess.

      This is a hot but such a good take, and I feel like season 46 is an amazing example of this, more than most of the seasons and even some in the new era. Season 46 was a purely social game, and it took away from the premise of survivor a bit, which made it frustrating.

    My unpopular survivor opinion is that Survivor should return to the old reunion format where all contestants are given equal screen time and opportunities to speak. The current format often focuses too much on a few key players, leaving many contestants with little to no time to share their experiences. The old format provided a more comprehensive and balanced recap of the season, allowing fans to hear from every player, regardless of their placement in the game. This change would bring back a sense of fairness and inclusivity, making the reunion a more satisfying conclusion for both contestants and viewers.

    - he pulls carolyn back in after he gets blindsided by sarah
    - he is only in the position to get voted out because of a stupid twist
    - he does a great job fooling ratu and playing the middle, carson may have been the strategist but yam yam was the main one whoe executed and made sure relationships stuck, he was the glue to tika, the glue to the fake final 4 between carson yam lauren and jamie

    People who say Charlie should've won are missing the point of how Survivor works.
    Tiff going to bat so much for Kenzie is a testament to not only having a good social game, but picking THE RIGHT PEOPLE to give that time to. Charlie had put his time with two people: Ben and Maria. Sure, Charlie can blame Maria, I would too in his case. But he had to stick with a person who thought they were in the driver seat, had a bit of an ego, and was voted out two days before. Maybe an extra day on pondi changes Maria's thoughts, or a different big move sways someone else who voted for Kenzie. It's a tough hand, many variables had to go wrong to get it. But it's not a flawed one.
    If it did tie, his other person (Ben) would've given him the win with strong social bonds, and this discussion wouldn't be an issue. He said himself "the jury is always right", which is why he IS a great player. He gets it, so should the viewers.

    I agree that season 46 was just not what I was expecting and in a kinda bad way. Like I wouldn’t say it is in the top 5 worst but it is in the bottom 10, just cause of frustration. People were too selfish and there was no resolution in a way where it was shocking yet not annoying. Like the writing on the wall was there for most of the idols and none of it was satisfying. The jury honestly is one of the most petty I have ever seen and this felt like far more reality tv than survivor ever is.

    Gabler is an all time winner. He maneuvered his way around the game with an obvious target on his back, being his age. He got enemies out by the merge, befriended everyone, navigated alliances without blowing his game, pit allies against each other and found a way to get rid of his biggest competition (Jesse and Cody, I do think he would’ve beaten Karla) out by the final 3.

    I have to agree partially with the trainwreck comments. Q and Liz are entertaining. I think liz's struggle of hunger alongside getting shafted several times is interesting(Though If it went any longer it would have been super annoying).... which is exactly why I did not care for Bhanu. If it hadn't been for the evacuation I might have come out with a slightly better opinion, but he got another whole episode to re-tread the entire last episodes mental breakdown but even worse. As he totally fucked himself in every way possible. I do not think I've ever seen a more screwed player than Bhanu, and it was largely his own fault. So he massively screwed up on the challenge for seemingly no reason, told everyone everything about the drama at their camp then lied...... but then just said the truth almost immediatly after, got screwed by a lack of a vote so he didn't even have shot in the dark. Then begged everyone and got super annoying to be tutored how to play the game midway into the game. Seeing him literally get on his knees and beg was embarassing for everyone involved. And the irony that his teammates went significantly father than him after he left shows just how much of a goober he was. he was just a massive bleeding heart who was so bad at the game even jeff had to admit he might be the single worst player ever..... and that's including the dude who couldn't climb a ladder in the first challenge.
    Q is a trainwreck in the best ways. And massive smokescreen to anyone else. Including himself strangely.
    Liz's worst aspect is that she added to the annoying theme of the merge of "Someone stole my move" cause I think we've seen that like 3 or four times at this point, or people whining that their move was stolen.

    I don’t think the new era casting is all that bad. Yes, a lot of the players have roughly the same vivacious personality, but they’re all very likeable. There have been very few recent contestants who I actively hate, so it makes the seasons very satisfying to watch. No matter what happens I can’t be upset with the outcome because worst comes to worst I’m just indifferent to the winner

    On your thoughts on chaos, I think the game is literally designed, as is so much reality tv- but survivor in a different way- to extract maximum emotional drama, easily caused by chaos.

    I feel like 48 should be new era all stars because than you have a way to celebrate the new era (41-47). They should change it up and have 24 players with three tribes of eight. Then season 50 would be legends or something else big like heroes vs villains 2. That way the new era gets there own time to shine while still being able to have a legendary season 50. This makes sense considering season 1-8 were structured like this with 7 seasons of straight newbies and an all star season to celebrate. And for those who say two returnee seasons in a 3 season time period wouldnt happen, its not that crazy considering second chance and gamechangers only had two seasons seperating them.

      @RA-hx9uc Před měsícem +1

      This season had the best chance of breaking that trend with "the 6" made up almost entirely of strong players, but Q single handedly ruined it when he got sketched out by Tiff (rightfully) just mentioning Maria's name. Now, Maria is the last one standing from the 6 and is the biggest threat to win, which is why she probably won't either and get a lame winner like Kenzie. Also, season 45 had a great dominant alliance of all strong players that made it to the end and the best one, Dee, won!

  • @mmicb0b

    1. I think they should do new era only for 49 that way we can have new era all stars then have 50 be people before 41
    2. I think if Advantagegeddon happened to ANYONE else nobody would complain
    3. I think having a season of premerge boots would be a GREAT idea
    4. similarly I don't think there's inherently anything wrong with premerge boots on returning player seasons (As long as it's not "Fan favorites" or "Game Chagngers")
    5. Nobody wants to admit when a jury was bitter when it's their favorite that lost because of it (Cassidy/Charlie)

      Boston Rob is the most overrated player/winner of all time. It took him 4 seasons to win.
      In Marquesas he seemed like an average player with only decent strategy.
      All-Stars? Yeah he made it to the end and supposedly dominated, but he is terrible at jury management. I’m not at all surprised at all that Amber won S8.
      In HvV he just can’t compete with the superior players he was against.
      Yes, he won Redemption Island, but he had no completion whatsoever. He took one of the biggest goats in Survivor history to the end.
      Winners at War proved he can’t adapt at all to the game. Again, like Redemption Island, he tried the buddy system, expecting it to work when he was facing other winners. Of course that wouldn’t work under those circumstances.

    I’m not sure if this is a hot take but I hate the fire making at final 4. I think it would work if they changed it for example not having the jury watch but as of right now I feel it holds to much power over who is most likely to win. I think it at times it has over ruled other peoples game just because they were either immune or they were not chosen to make fire.

    I fully agree with saying Boston Rob wasn't handed his season. Many times returning players are targets, he used a great social game to earn trust and even inspire fear into people, dominate the vote and remove the entire opposing tribe, even if the players had bad strategic ability they were good in challenges and Rob won 4 individual immunities, and got himself the win against a bitter jury.
    Season 50 should be people from every era, so 4 people from every 10 seasons. So bring back Rob again cause I want to see all the complaints about it >:)

    I have a hot take. Jt giving his idol to Russell wasn't a bad move, just not a good one. It was tied 5v5. None of them knew who Russell is(he could have been Tyson evil or strategic evil). Parvati had an all girl alliance before, and when there were 5 girls and 1 boy left, it looked like a girl alliance. Everyone also knew he had a idol so it got target of him.
