These are quite possibly the worst survivors ever. They are whiny and deserve to be eaten by sharks. Especially the entire yellow tribe.

I just started the episode, but this made me laugh because I already hate the lady that’s coming for Bruce.

I don't even know what to think about this episode or the yellow team. I read an exit interview with Hannah and I don't know whether to applaud her in knowing that it just wasn't for her and not letting someone who wanted to be there go home or join the masses of people that are really frustrated. She also denies she quit because, "it was at tribal." I don't know if anyone listens to Jeff's podcast, but in the exit interview they mentioned Kendra came to Lulu's beach after they lost the challenge and was at Tribal Council to cast a vote, they just never showed her. I read up on it and apparently part of the reward for winning the immunity challenge was the winning tribe got to send a player to the losing tribe's beach to observe ahead of Tribal and then, without the losing tribe knowing, was able to go and cast a vote. She apparently voted for Brandon.
This season every episode is 90 minutes which seems too much. Jeff thinks it'll be great, so I hope he proves me wrong.

Well that's annoying that they did that whole thing with Kendra and then not even show it. I don't applaud Hannah for giving up her spot to those who want it because bitch, I want to watch from the comfort of my home too. So, you know what I do? I don't fucking audition for it. Before Brandon even said 1 word, my husband said I hate him. And I was like aw give him a chance...then the ladder scene happened and I said nope you're right he sucks! I always chose someone at random to win/root for so I chose Kellie.

My random pick was Sabiyah. As soon as Emily said she’d rather go home first than not win I hoped she’d go home like 2nd or 3rd, just in a really non-memorable spot.
I really hope the season improves because that really wasn’t a good start.

My gosh that was a terrible first episode. That yellow tribe 😳😬 What a disaster. The only thing worse than that episode is getting on here to read that Kendra was given that huge advantage and it wasn’t even shown??
During season 44, I was just starting to make my way through Australian Survivor, and right now, I’m on the second to last current season…. my lord does the Australian version make the US version, especially this ridiculous episode, look like a joke. I mean, I won’t say that they don’t have their own share of crazy players getting evicted within the first few episodes who you completely forget about, but truly every person on that Lulu tribe besides Caleb and maybe Sabiyah, seemed ridiculous to me. I also hate the 3 tribe version - 6 people on a tribe does not leave enough room for good game play, or alliances shifts, middle players, majority/minority situations. It’s dumb and I can’t believe US is still doing it this way.

Also, Hannah looks exactly like Kellie Pickler

Regarding the opening credits, I also read this from an interview with Jeff before the season began: "And not only is the main title back, but there's an Easter egg in every main title for the true super fan. The main title in and of itself was enough to bring back. It's very fun. But this is a new era of Survivor, so we thought, "Let's make it fun for the audience as well by giving them a little something special in each main title." And that's all I'll say. You don't need to find the Easter egg to enjoy the episode, but if you find the Easter egg, it might give you a little more insight into the episode."
I paid attention last night but didn't pick up on anything. Maybe that means I'm not a true super fan!

Emily really needs to not say everything she’s thinking if she wants a chance in this game.

I wonder if she's super mild mannered in her real life and then, when she came on the show, decided to go full out and DO Survivor. Or maybe she's this unfiltered outside of the game too.

I don’t dislike her either. I think the longer she stays the more she’ll grow in people.

The season really is just so short. I’m glad they stretched out the episodes because I do think it is allowing more time for character building, but I realized last night there’s only 10 episodes between now and the finale, since they start the finale at final 5. 13 episodes for 18 players is rough. I hate to keep comparing it to Australian, truly I do, but even though Australia starts with 24 players, they usually have 24ish episodes , and most of those episodes are 90-120 minute episodes. You just have more time to get to know the players. Extending the length of the episode is definitely a good thing that US did this year, but I still want more haha! Less advantages, especially ones that are confusing as all hell - if you only do idols, you get all of that extra screen time for gameplay and strategy, not constant rehashing of advantages. And stop starving the contestants. Give them rice. It truly helps them to be better players when they can at least have some form of nutrition to continually refuel, even if it’s boring rice and beans. They are still miserable, but at least they feel a smidge more nourished and their brain is capable of more logical thinking.
I don’t know. If I can get one person here to watch Australian survivor because of how much I rave about it, I’ll be happy 😂
also - do they never go to places where it rains anymore? It is always bright blue skies without a cloud in sight. Where is the rough weather?

junch817, where can I watch Australian? I liked Sabiyah so stinks to see her go but it was a good move. I use the website videobrother.net It is under archives. Skip season 1 and 2 - one is from an old network and they don’t even refer to it as a real season I don’t think lol 2 is also from a different network and it’s a celebrity season, and again, doesn’t count. There will be some adult content pop ups that happen sometimes but that’s to be expected from a non legit website lol You have to hit the play button several times and close pop ups each time, but after after a handful of times, it eventually stops doing that and will play normally without any further issues. I’ve watched 6.5 seasons now; no virus concerns from it on my tv using the internet browser, nor my laptop, so don’t be worried about that at all. It’s just your normal x rated pop ups that you have to close up 😂 You absolutely will not regret it.

Sean's smile is so beautiful. I wish he didn't quit like that. I was surprised that Dee would risk not voting for him in that situation she made a mistake on that one.

Was it just in how Jeff decided to go about it? Jeff didn’t allow a vote for Hannah; couldn’t he have done the same thing for Sean? Or was it just in the leading questions he asked Hannah, and that he asked different questions this time so judging by those answers he allowed the vote? It kind of bugs me that in my eyes, they both quit, but it can be viewed in different ways based upon the vote/no vote choices, which was ultimately Jeff’s decision.

I feel terrible that it appears Jake collapses again? It almost seemed like a small stroke the first time and I couldn’t believe it wasn’t addressed at all that episode. But now it appears something similar happens again next week? It’s terrible 😢

I think it was the way Sean said kinda like hey I'll still play IF you do vote to keep me, but I'd prefer you didn't. Whereas Hannah said you can't make me go back to that camp, I will not keep playing. I dunno it is shitty though.

I consider them both quits too, though I guess you could argue the other way too. In Big Brother when someone doesn't really campaign and says vote me out, we don't usually consider that a quit, so it's an interesting conversation. If I remember, Jeff asked if they needed to vote at the first tribal and I don't think anyone felt strong enough to say yes. I also think Hannah said that she would quit either way and that she definitely wanted out, whereas Sean left it up to the others ("please write my name down") and Jeff knew they were planning to blindside Sifu so he went through with the vote. But I always prefer that they do vote for game fidelity.

I think spicysalmonroll and budders are correct about why there was a vote for Sean but not Hannah, although I think they should keep the same policy across the board. In Sean's exit interview he said that Hannah had been very outspoken at camp in the days leading up to Council that she didn't want to be there and it wasn't for her, so it wasn't a surprise to her tribe, Jeff or production that she wanted to go and Hannah was clear enough that she wouldn't go back to camp no matter what. Sean said he didn't say anything to anyone so it was a surprise when they got to Tribal. He also said he has regrets about quitting and if they had voted to keep him, he would have stayed and it may have been a good thing for him because it would have given him more time to think about his decision and he may have decided he really did want to play the game. It really is frustrating though. Have there ever been multiple quits in a season? And they're only seven days in.

GameNight, I forget which season about 8 years ago, 2 girls quit together on the same night. They said they wanted to at tribal and Jeff said I'm going to pretend not to hear that and give you the night to sleep on it so you don't regret your decision. And the next day they both said yup we still quit. I think it was like day 25.

I like Austin but I don't like Drew, I like Kendra but I didn't care for Brando so it's like I could see the difficulty in Emily's choice because neither side to me had 2 great people to go with. So I'm fine about how that played out. Cracks me up how annoying Bruce is and they still haven't gotten the chance to vote for him yet, I think he will go quickly in the merge. The amulet thing is meh. I really liked back in the day straight forward idols, like when Boston Rob would literally have a collection of 3 idols on him. Or when one person would have immunity and 3 people would play an idol and someone would leave with zero votes because they didn't have an idol. That shit was more entertaining than a dumb amulet which they have to share. And what if they give it to someone else without telling anyone...so say Austin gets voted out but he had given it to Drew. And then J Maya goes to use hers, thinking it's more powerful than it is...? That could be interesting.
