Still have a few weeks, but I wanted to put up some info about the cast and some initial thoughts. insidesurvivor.com/cast/season-41-castAlso, Parade has done interviews with all cast members and there are some big personalities there. I love that CBS is delivering on their promise of making casting diversity a major focus. I am no crazy that it is a shortened season, but with no new survivor for a year and a half, I will take it. I would love to see a return to a more basic game with more focus on surviving and less on idols and advantages. I am stoked that there is no gimmick theme this season. |

I will take a 26-day season this go-round, but hope that doesn't become the norm. So much can happen in those 13 days.

I am neutral on the shortened season, I’m just glad it’s back!

I thought I heard that it wouldn’t shorten the number of episodes for us, just the contestants would have less downtime. It will be interesting to see how that changes things though.

The new episode will be on Paramount Plus right? There are too many streaming services floating around my brain

I watched it. Really interesting first boots.
I think the cast is shaping up to be a good cast.
I loved the idea of the prisoners dilemma.

I'm liking the cast overall so far and really liked the prisoner's dilemma.
What is the shot in the dark? I remember reading speculation about it but missed the actual explanation of it on the show.

Everybody gets one shot at a “Hail Mary” of safety. They each have a dice that they can play for the chance to draw out of a bag that has a 1 in 6 shot at safety for the day. |

I'm curious who you really really didn't like so far. I don't like Richard. I am never a fan of players that automatically decide to go after someone for no reason (which is what he was doing to JD). Also not a fan of Brad on that tribe, but that's mostly just because he seems dumb |

When he came back he really was acting like he was lying. Brad on that tribe just sort of annoyed me. I like the girls on that tribe but I don't remember their names lol |

They can just kick the men off of that tribe and that's fine.
It's Richard, but the "d" is silent.

I think Ricard is going to be a villain that’s pretty divisive and I tend to always fall on the side of love for those characters (see Russell Hantz).

I did not care for Ricard whatsoever.
He annoyed me a lot during the episode but especially with the 2nd round of the "come on in, guys!" discussion when he pipes up to voice his disapproval.
That was the epitome of virtue signaling. None of the women were bothered by "guys at all" and the first person to say it was fine was Evvie, who is non-binary, but born female. But hey, Ricard, a man, speaks up and suddenly it's offensive.
Also, Jeff could have simply changed "guys" to "everyone," "people," "folks," etc. without it being a thing (that would have been more impactful, actually) but show clearly wanted it to be a thing.
Shan and Sarah should have been on the chopping block. They were on puzzle duty and had the lead and blew it. I'm fine with Sarah going home. Although woof to Brad saying this out loud in front of the two women.
Stupid to vote out Abraham though.
But all of that aside, I'm so happy Survivor's back.

Is there anywhere to watch if I don't want to get Paramount+? We have too many dang streaming services we might as well just get cable again.

I really liked the idol twist introduced in tonights episode. I love the random phrases they have to say. I think Xander worked it in to conversation as best as he could. The vote was a bad choice. melohdy if you haven't found a way to watch yet, all the episodes are posted on CBS.com. The premiere was up by the next morning. I just streamed it on my tv from there. |

I love the idol twist. And if Evvie can pull off a women’s alliance for the first time in a very long while I am so here for it. But Tiffany is absolutely a challenge liability.
