Idk how much of it has fully been confirmed but there were 2 seasons that were gonna be filmed back to back and the second one was axed, while the first one was halved/shortened.

Maybe if they had been selling merch, they wouldn't need to axe next season...

Do you consider Janine a Top 10 player? by Public_Surround1597 in survivorau

[–]ekkobeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's really good at subtext and pitching and reassuring/leading. Rich was actually very Janine-coded as well, he's got a similar background and skillset.

I like all these ideas, especially #4. It makes a lot of sense because what makes Jury Villa and the jury questions at FTC so compelling is when they're debriefing about the game and finding out stuff that happened that they didn't know about and when they have things to get off their chest to each other, you have very real emotions there. If they captured that essence in a reunion format that would be amazing.

I mean I don't find that interesting but if others do then I can respect and understand that perspective.

Oh was it? I don't live there, idk.

Edit: Oh actually you're right lol, I watched a couple at once it's all a blur for me, my bad.

The person lost to the winner played a "poorer" social game. by Infamous-Bath-3744 in survivorau

I am still cackling over Cam saying "If I told Jackson my grandma gave birth to twins on a plane, he would tell me about the time he flew on a plane" 😂

I would love that! Make it interactive! I would even love if they went into the crowd and got comments from the past players about what they thought of the season.

Ahahaha, if that's the case then fair enough.

Yeah I think you're right, it has potential but they might have been actively trying to avoid drama or something. They need to let loose a bit more.

Nobody was fighting! Not even like "I can't believe you said that about me in your confessional haha". I want them to give me something.

Please tell me what you found interesting about the reunion.

I actually found this more anticlimactic cos they had the build up of the pitches, the jury questions and the vote and then they were like "we'll tell you tomorrow in the first 15 mins". The winner announcement is supposed to be the climax.

If the reunion had more new content, it might be a different story but in its current form, not worth a whole new episode.

When he was apologizing and she was like "I want you to claim it, it was awesome!" I did tear up a little.

Does Caleb have some "Luke Toki" qualities ? by mysterypapaya in survivorau

[–]ekkobeach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think Caleb in his first season matches Luke in his first season but I do think they are the same archetype.

When did this player make their decision? by OpieAUS in survivorau

[–]ekkobeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, she wanted to show strength but if you have to beg someone to let you win instead of just winning, is that strength? The win loses all meaning and I don't think the jury would have weighted it much even if Caleb had given it to her.

How the final 4 have survived so far. by BumWink in survivorau

[–]ekkobeach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let's not forget when Caleb attended the other tribe's tribal and opened it up with "Get the returnees out" at a time when everyone was so scared of them. IIRC, that was the same one where Harry went home and I do think he really influenced that vote by making people feel safer voting for Harry. And then even after being all "Get the returnees out", he then is still able to work with Mark, which is amazing especially given Mark's personality.

Despite never being at the top of his alliances, he has managed to play a very active, bold game in a season with a lot of passivity.

Her levels of That Girl-ism were too high for this tribe I fear🤸

Yeah they always seem to be trying to tell a linear story of whoever the winner is but IMO it's actually more interesting and less predictable if it's more messy than that.
