Anyone watching?
I don’t know who anyone is yet, but so far I love the ghost island twist. I’m glad every person that enters won’t get an advantage. I’m excited for the rest of the season!

Just finished watching. I think it could be really interesting with Ghost Island. I also like that not everyone gets a chance to play on Ghost Island.
I won't know who everyone is for a few more episodes, but I totally agreed with the first two voted off.

I’ll admit, I didn’t watch every season so there are going to be idols and things that I’m not aware of. So far I like the premise of it though. It’ll be interesting to see what else they come up with for games at ghost island and what all the advantages can be.
I agree with armpants about the first two voted off. J was wayyyy too OTT.

I watched the first episode today. I’m excited for this season. I love all the old survivor stuff and the clips from past seasons. So fun.
And yes, that guy had to go. Come on. Mr. Paranoid should be next.

I 100% agree with the first person voted off. She sealed her fate when she started whispering to everyone at tribal. I really hope they don’t go overboard with gimmicks this season. Last season was so awesome because it was just good ole fashion gameplay.

I was feeling SO bad for Donathon. I was like no, look at him, he's so sweet, give him a chance! Was so glad to see her voted off instead. I think Dom shot himself in the foot with the whole showing his real/fake idol to Chris. The whole thing just looked sketchy, as it was, and I think he'll get bit in the butt for it.

I enjoyed the first episode. I do think it would have been great if the non brawny people lined up and got rid of Matt (maybe his name, 18 year old realtor), but it's too early to get rid of the muscles, especially after two losses.

I'm excited for the Ghost Island twist. I love seeing the contestants geeking out about them and I love how Ghost Island is going to be different for everyone. I kind of liked the guy who just got voted off because he was just so delightfully awkward, but there is no way that he could have lasted. Like at all. So I was fine with him going.

It was a dumb move. But even if you want to make that dumb move at least wait a day to show him the idol so he thinks you just found it rather than you lied.

I was so hoping he would hide it for him to find with the paper. Like that would take it to such next level gameplay to make someone feel safe

So, i’m Listening to a survivor podcast (the last episode of First One Out) and apparently Jacob (second voted out) had self produced a record and they played one of his songs. I have the German embarrassment 😬

For some reason I haven't listen to a recap podcast before. I follow the Rob has a Podcast Survivor feed and listen to most of them. Always the Know It All recap (2 former survivors recap immediately after the episode airs), the exit interviews (rob interviews the person voted off in the last episode), and Why ___ Lost ( a survivor blogger turned podcaster who wrote rules of the game way back in season 1 and references them to explain where he thinks the person voted out went wrong). The feed has new content everyday, but the others I don’t mind missing if I don’t have time. First One Out is under the same feed and was new last season. I love it! It’s a survivor blogger interviewing all the contestants pre season and up to the first tribal council when the first person gets voted out. It helped me get to know the players more quickly last season, but I totally forgot about it this time because I was too wrapped up in the olympics, so I just listened to the final episode today. I may go back for the rest another time.

I think they edited a lot of that out imapenguin, I was surprised. Chris got so lucky getting that white rock.

I listened to the recap podcast and I think I’m a little more clear on what happened. There was a 5/4 split in favor of Mololo(?) after the tribe swap. With Chris on ghost island, that brought it to 4/4. For some reason, mololo was more intent on settling their own score rather than just getting further in the game—chris and Angela wanted to get out Dominic and Dominic, Morgan, and the other guy wanted to go after Chris. Both groups planned to use navini to make this happen, but navini decided Morgan was the best strategic option to go...maybe because of how quick she was to cozy up to Lizzy and they felt she was being too strategic. Since mololo couldn’t get on board to vote together and tie it up, and navini decided Angela wasn’t a big threat, the door was open for them to go after someone they thought was more dangerous.

They were too busy trying to vote out each other that they let the new members pick one of them off. So dumb.

I don't understand why they didn't use it on 2 people, Steph & Brendan. It was good for two people...???

I'm sad that didn't work, but hopefully it will get people thinking and talking in the five. I hare watching people just be picked off one by one.
