FTA-TV Survivor 46

[Gasometer]

Starts here on Thursday Feb 29th with the first 2 episodes being 2 hours before dropping back to 90 minutes

Last season was engaging viewing with only one instance of pointless rabbit hole viewing that I commented on at the time.

Probst has said no returning cast members for 46, 47 or 48

45 was filmed with production knowing it was going to be 90 minute episodes, this one wasn't so it will be interesting to see the difference. No auction this season either.

I'm glad they still aren't doing returning players. After the ickiness of 39 and the big Winners at War gimmick of 40, the show really needed a new phase.

There are a couple of people from seasons 36-38, and especially some people who were treated awfully in 39, who deserved a second chance at the game, but I think it's probably for the best that they're considered a case of unfortunate timing, and the show moves forward from season 41 onwards.

It starts Thursday? This has come out of nowhere.

Gonna be hard to get into the US Survivor with how crazy good AU Survivor is atm.

 

[Shell]

Watching this on delay. Loved the first 3 weeks. Week 4 has been a dumpster fire. Terrible twist then a nothing twist, then small mercies in the last episode of the week with the person voted out. Can we just forget those 3 episodes happened.

Geez that Jelinsky guy is a dropkick

 

[Jaymin]

My winner pick is the 500 pound gecko.

 

[Ochre]

Really need to piss the three tribes off, just leaves no room for anything beyond really basic votes. Sweat or Savvy was the same dud its been for the other 5 seasons. I get what they were going for with the journey mechanic but it didn't work.

I like the cast though.

 

[Amazing Racer]

That gecko challenge.........I know they build a whole lot of sets for all these challenges, but well done to the props department for that.

Agree, Jellinsky is a drop kick big time so deserved to go. Jess won't be lasting too much longer, particularly if she is not really that good at challenges.

 

[Hamingja]

In the 3 tribe format you have to be a moron as a big guy to get voted out over a small woman.

I take it Jellinsky was his surname? Weak new age survivor, you used to have to earn being known by your surname.

Great first episode

Bahnu is it? Wat a crack up

The orange tribe are going to dominate this game - it's going to be a "rich get richer" scenario, cos their shelter is the best we've seen since I can remember, so assuming they can use the fishing gear and keep the fire guying they'll be hard to stop.

And they pay the price this week

And they pay the price this week

Especially in THAT challenge.

Jelinksy might have been a dope, but they probably win that challenge with that tall m'fer there.

Looked like an over complicated plan to rid someone who didn’t need an over complicated plan

Bhanu though…another golden performance…did he enter the wrong Reality Show

And why would you go on there and tell everyone you are millionaire and don’t need the money?

 

[Jugada]

This is really bad... Super unlikable cast

This is really bad... Super unlikable cast

But that’s why it’s been good for me.
Who’s going to emerge from this group?

Tevin and Venus the only two I can see providing good TV for me. The rest I find pretty meh or actively bad TV and Venus will only stay being good TV if she is seen as an Angelina type

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Is this Bhanu guy for ****ing real?

 

[Gasometer]

Is this Bhanu guy for ******* real?

Funny AF

“Are you crying?”

He is an internet meme in the making

 

[Ochre]

So in AU he'd be back in right? I know they hate stealing for our version but this seems an obvious one

 

[Ochre]

Especially hard going up against Titans v Rebels when it's been so good but this has been a real slow start. Hopefully someone other than Yanu can lose next week.
