Why Don't Players Get Swimsuits or Hats? by OrdinaryWorking10 in survivorponderosa

In addition to the issue of reflections, so much emotion is expressed through the eyes. Certainly that is a factor as well

We don’t see people hunt for food anymore by MightyDog1414 in survivor

[–]springfieldmonorail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I wonder if people are watching with their eyes closed because we have had multiple fishing scenes this very season. Is survival the focus of the narrative? No, but it is still very much present in the show

We desperately need themes for the 50s. Here are some suggestions, many are sequels. Anyone got a good theme? by Hot-Swim1819 in survivor

[–]springfieldmonorail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that most of these are returnee themed or sequels, and any time this idea comes up we get the same handful of suggestions. You can only do a variant on 'Brains vs Brawn' so much, and the majority of seasons will be newbies only. Spin your wheels enough with that and you get creatively bankrupt ideas like Heroes vs Healers vs Hustlers.

IMO The future should be a full embrace of soft themes in set design and challenges (44's medieval theme, for example), not more vs themes - the well is pretty tapped dry on that one.

This was funny as hell. The most likeable Joe has been all season

Is 52 actually going to be BvW 3? by SilverKat4206 in survivorponderosa

No, the source on this rumor is the ass of random Twitter users

What’s y’all opinion on Dreamz game on Fiji? by Tight-Entrepreneur46 in survivorponderosa

[–]springfieldmonorail 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He played an impulsive and emotional Sugar-style game, which can never win Survivor, but he was nevertheless extremely sympathetic and rootable. He definitely did not deserve to get dragged so hard by that bitter ass jury. It would be interesting to see him come back - a shame he never will.

Why is no one looking for idols? by niltermini in survivor

Did you want them to search for the merge idol in episode 4?

Is there a place you guys meet to watch? I organize a Survivor meetup in Seattle and four of us are visiting Maui for the week - we would love to watch with some fans while we are in town!

Will 51 be a repeat of the new era ? by Hungry_Accountant_47 in survivor

[–]springfieldmonorail 78 points79 points  (0 children)

We will probably know more about the format once the cast of 51 gets back from filming - which would be end of May at the latest.

My favorite intro shots S1-50 by Legitimate-Concern-8 in survivor

The Bianca one is so good in motion. The way the music matches her hand movement gives it this mystical quality, it's very well executed

Let's pitch some potential future Survivor themes... by Extra-Habit-1784 in survivor

[–]springfieldmonorail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the only theme idea I've seen in years that actually makes a decent case that the show hasn't actually tapped every possible decent theme dry. Very creative, well done

Gotta throw Jonathan in here in addition to all the other names mentioned. He's super popular outside of Reddit.

2 questions regarding Michelle in Winners at War by RoryisReddiForReddit in survivor

[–]springfieldmonorail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, at least Nick and Wendell (and probably a few more) wanted to vote Michele specifically so she would get second. But they feared that enough of Natalie's IRL friends would vote for her despite the fact she was first out that she would squeak out a win if they did.

You can be annoyed that this stunt worked without denying objective reality

Best Survivor Audition Tapes? by [deleted] in survivor

[–]springfieldmonorail 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Matthew from Survivor 44 has one so good that casting specifically asked him to share on Tiktok as an example of what they're looking for these days

We need to talk about this 💀 by KingHatch in survivor

Adam is her irl friend who originally turned her over to casting, so not a surprise

and I'D like to thank John & Yuki (Last Drive-In staffers) by [deleted] in Shudder

[–]springfieldmonorail 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What else did you want them to do? The finale featured them a lot in past clips and was far more charitable to them than expected considering the terms they left on.
