I wonder if the BBC will suddenly start showing it like they do with a few other international versions of things
Nathan and Doug for me too. Doug seems to be a good looker and a decent player too - so far I’d put him down as a good chance of winning.Nathan and Doug would be the only ones for me (and Richard)
He's got a HOT BODY and seems decent but discovering he's one of those (I assume) gays who thinks he's a pop star put me right off. You're NO LEILANI, PALSinging Christopher's SMOOTH OPERATOR VT had me HOWLING
I'm keeping up with this, but for me it IS 3 out of 5, on-in-the-background tv. Some of them are hot, it's nice to get a blast of sunshine when we've hit winter, and I enjoy some of the challenges, but that's about it. They're all talking earnestly about alliances and winning immunity and it all feels so silly and inconsequential
Heartbroken that Leilani's VT made no mention of her pop star past.
At this stage I want Doug to win I think. Jess is my other favourite but has absolutely no chance.
It's interesting that the idol has caused some grief in the game though, even though Ren didn't get the benefit of it. And now Doug thought he was going to benefit from distance from Ren, and thought he could buy trust in Pegleg heading over to Caletón with it, yet it's seemingly only made Pegleg more suspicious.
Yes he is really grating on me now.God I really do wish Joel would SHUT THE FUCK UP during this challenge. I'd be much more interested in hearing how they are communicating with each other than Joel incessantly narrating.
Letters from home? TOO EARLY
Not reading yet for fear of spoilers but I am on episode 7 and loving this. Slightly in love with Laurence.
Excited that there are about 1000 seasons of this across US and Australia once I'm done to get through.
I love the 21 year old guy and Tinuke the most.
Doug and Tinuke are my favourites.
Episode 8 spoiler:Voting off Shai made ZERO sense on so many levels! Nathan has more friends on the other side, is more likely to do well in individual challenges, is more likeable... yet again a complete lack of strategy - Pegleg and Doug had actually managed to pull off quite the coup getting Jess out the previous episode but just played it so bad again this episode. Any decent Survivor player would see that keeping Shai is a good thing to do - drag him to the end and sit next to him in final tribal!
And don't even get me started on the decimation of the non-male players. Finally they vote out a man BECAUSE THEY LITERALLY HAD TO. Why are they STILL obsessed with 'challenge strength' when they're about to merge?
On a very basic level I was pleased because it made Nathan happy and he is absolutely beautiful when he's smiling. But I agree, from a strategical perspective it made no sense. Shai was far too useful as a shield because nobody seems to like him anywhere.
I think Doug was thinking far too short term in terms of having Laurence there to get rid of next if necessary, rather than thinking long term.
I know I posted a few weeks ago about Kristie playing from the bottom in Aus Survivor, but she had no choice but to really, most of the time. That's not the game Doug has come to play, according to his VT. And getting rid of Nathan would have been a big thing for his CV at final tribal.
I don’t think it’s awful, but yes not nearly as good. It’s all so rough around the edges, and the players don’t seem to have any idea what they’re doing.And I cannot even describe for you how much better they are. If you're liking this then I'm so pleased for you because this is just AWFUL in comparison in every single way. I can't think of one comparison that is better. I'd say that these players are less strategic even than our first season back in 2001 (though they're marginally better than the 2nd UK season, where they actively had no interest in strategy at all).
Were this weekends episodes 7 and 8? I think they’re possibly showing them 1 behind here which is frustrating.
