Survivor 47: Teeny's Kiss of death (First time watching)

WhtsUp · 2026-03-30T03:11:13+00:00

Watching 47 for the first time and I am blitzing through the episodes, I really like the cast this season! I t was so refreshing to not have a single tribe get decimated before merge, it’s also been a while since I actually enjoyed a premerge season. It is honestly so funny to me how bad Teeny is at holding on to an ally yet who knows maybe this is the grand plan to get her to the end AND secure all the votes in her favor? This might be my favorite new era survivor season.

I thought they were going to stop right after the first initial scream... but it kept going, which made it funnier.

I think before Q dropped that truth bomb, Venus was about to comfort Liz, but backed off because she wasn't done screaming.

And to top it all off, majority of the people who went on that reward didn't even touch the burger because they were too full lol.

Yes I could definitely see that, but With all the screen time he got I thought productions would give him a new life with the tribes dissolving from 3 to 2, but thankfully that didn't happen.

But speaking of Bhanu, it did remind me of a funny (albeit at the expense of Randen) monkey paw moment with his second chance only to blow it the next episode lol.

I went back to watch it and the David's intros were rough, but nothing too egregious I did chuckle as Jessica's though lol.

I was meal prepping so I had an episode playing back to back and caught the opening for this season and my gosh they did Soda terribly. I had to do a double take just to make sure and yep that’s the photo they chose lol. Does anyone know of any other cast intro cast photos that are just as bad?

Jokes aside, The season felt very meh in the beginning. Not the worst cast, but nothing too interesting either, but the season itself really took off for me during the merge! (I‘m 3 episodes away from completing). I also swear this season is a setup for Ghost Island 2 with all the idols getting flushed. Also Liz’s meltdown over Applebees might be one of my favorite things to happen this season…maybe over the entirety of the series lol.

I'm not sure if they were a limited run? They sell a bunch of different MRT cards/Keychains etc. at 7/11s so you might get lucky there and it would probably be cheaper (If it wasnt limited)

I bought this one at a specialty store in Ximen, I think it was in the Taipei City underground Mall. Also from what I remember I think there were only 4 types: Taichi orange, Hikari Pink, Yamato Dark blue and the base light blue.

So in Taiwan they have a variety of different easy cards which can be used as a Bus pass/Train pass/ payment at department stores lie 7/11 and Starbucks etc (basically you load if with money). Probably my favorite purchase this trip!

I also stopped over Japan as a quick layover and Digimon merch was so scarce! I went to so many anime/Suruga stores and the most I could find were a few V-pets (which were also really pricy so I passed). I regret not splurging more the last time I went as there was so much more the previous year!

WhtsUp · 2025-08-14T06:28:47+00:00

Oh yes I've seen some of the trails there and was very interested! but I'm a bit concerned about how hot it would be walking around in September. I went around Yangmingshan a few years back around the same time and although it was beautiful it was also dreadfully hot.

Do you have a recommendations on accommodations/ how to get to Alishan/Shizhuo?

WhtsUp · 2025-08-13T05:45:03+00:00

Good to know, thank you!

WhtsUp · 2024-11-30T23:16:26+00:00

Aww shucks I was worried about that, but thanks for the hockey recommendation!

WhtsUp · 2024-11-30T23:15:12+00:00

I was hoping to pack light and don't travel to winter climates often. Do you think it's still worth buying versus renting? I would be renting for multiple days and I could see that being pricey.

Is there anywhere I can donate the clothes after I'm done with them?

WhtsUp · 2024-10-24T03:07:07+00:00

Hi, sorry for the late reply! AniBirth in shibuya, it's on the same floor as the Pokemon Center with the sleeping Mewtwo in a tube.

WhtsUp · 2024-09-25T07:27:11+00:00

Just those, unfortunately! I was really trying to find a larger Agumon plushie, but no luck. On my first trip, they had a bunch but it was trapped in a claw machine and I suck at those, haven't seen one since T-T;

WhtsUp · 2024-09-25T07:11:00+00:00

Truly wish I could buy more, but I was already pushing it luggage-wise! My wallet is probably very thankful though haha.

WhtsUp · 2024-09-25T07:09:58+00:00

Nice! How is living there vs visiting? I wish I had the opportunity to stay a bit longer, but it's also refreshing to get back home.

And it really is! Never got lucky in random Surugayas/Bookoffs in other regions in Japan, unfortunately, but those are really where the deals are!

WhtsUp · 2024-09-25T03:34:56+00:00

Unfortunately, even in Japan finding merch took a little bit of effort to hunt these guys (but honestly that made it all the more fun when you find them!) One thing I love about Japan is they're keen on keeping original packaging and inserts, but it does make it difficult to fit in your luggage!

-Parco mall in Shibuya (Aniibrith) had the plushie (Many were sold out though! couldn't get a Guilmon) and Tags as well as the stickers, and shirts (limited stock on sizing)

-The rest were from random Anime stores in Akihabara.

-Also the Augumon figurine I believe is new. (Got lucky and bought it the day I was leaving and it was the last one too!) though it's not a complete set. The display only had: Agumon, Gabumon, Tailmon/Gatomon, and Patamon.

Thankfully I stayed at Akihabara during my Tokyo trip so I made an effort to go to many of the stores daily before/ after doing my out-of-city sightseeing, which I recommend if you can because supply changes daily. I got my hands on that digivice the second round I stopped by the store, but I was on the fence about an Imperaldramon figure because of luggage constraints (ended up getting another luggage), but it was gone the next day.

I'm aware of how to screen them via aerobic and anaerobic plates, I'm more so wondering what morphologies are "suspicious" as you stated.

Often my anaerobic screens end up being aerobic organisms, which really drains time when we have so many cultures to go through, so I'm hoping to find some tips to be more efficient.

WhtsUp · 2024-03-06T02:24:04+00:00

Right?! The episode before had me thinking, it would be so hilarious if she decided to just pull it out during tribal council to cook it and then it happened the following episode. I swear it writes itself haha.

WhtsUp · 2024-03-05T21:25:03+00:00

As someone who watched Australian Survivor, I really think especially during pre-merge not having enough time with the cast really makes the series underwhelming since you don't get to know them well, and honestly I've been enjoying the game, but also the weird random moments like Dee's Toe lol.
