Survivor Fans Podcast

  Welcome to Part 1 of our JABBIC, Judge A Book By Its Cover, preseason show for season 45. Once again, we have all new players, so we have limited information to go on when theorizing how we think they will perform. We have shared our early thoughts on each of the castaways including how well we think they will do in the overall game to kick off another season of watching Survivor together. Now it is your turn. We want to hear what you think about the 18 castaways and how you think they'll approach the twists, high risk advantages, and quite possibly the return of the Survivor Auction. Let us know how well you think they will or won't do this season. We want to hear about who you had the strongest reaction to. Who's going to be voted out first? Who's your pick for final four and the sole Survivor? Send in your predictions, keep it to 3 minutes. Get your responses to us by noon PST on Saturday, September 23rd. Try not to think too long about it, just go with your first impression. Check out Paul's Visual Rost

Wow, the penultimate episode went by fast. We got a full, two day game cycle with separate Reward and Immunity challenges and it still seemed like we zipped right through it.

There's a bit of a division brewing in the fan base. Either you're all aboard for the most featured player of the season, or the show's coming up lacking since the coverage of others is once again, shallow. We're looking forward to seeing if the underdogs can hold it together for another round of the game, and can't wait for another dose of our favorite show on Wednesday.

Did you hear that collective gasp? Another fan favorite joined the jury. If your alliance left you out of a critical vote, how long and what would it take for you to recover? Would you be able to rebound and rebuild the trust in time for the next vote? What would your plan be to manage your emotions?

The consensus from the fans is clear. You DO NOT want to win a reward challenge that can trigger resentment from those not chosen to attend, especially when it involves letters from home. Many were sad to see another fan favorite join the jury, and fret that we might end up with a flat finale if this trend continues. In any case, we are excited to see how the game develops in the next episode on Wednesday! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show.

It's an age old, strategic Survivor question, "Should you try and win a challenge when you know you are guaranteed to make some people happy and others angry when you have to decide who will join you on a Reward?" These do not usually end well for the winner. What would you do? We're down to seven now. Who's social game is coming up short? Who will be the swing vote in the next Tribal?

The fans continue to ask, "How is making the castaways starve to the point of degraded gameplay the recipe for great TV moments"? Nobody's buying it. Regardless, we're curious how long the voting along original tribal lines will continue and excited to see where the game is headed next.

On day 16 they rested, and played "I Spy". Even though a new Immunity Idol entered the game, it didn't dominate the episode and we got more of our much loved Tribe Time! We enjoyed seeing them goof around and loved the insight into the multitude of voting strategies they considered as well as what they settled on.

We finally got a post merge episode with everyone voting, unencumbered with twists and silly advantages that resulted in a magnificent blindside. The fans really enjoyed it when production finally got out of the way and "let the players play"! We are all excited to see how the Three Stooges alliance responds in the next episode on Wednesday.

We got another single day cycle this week, and we got some quality tribe time combined with some excellent insights into how the game decisions were impacting each castaway. What did you think of this week's vote out choice? The original tribal divisions seem to still be big factors in the current alliances. Who do you think will emerge victorious?

This was an emotional episode, and it elicited a range of responses from the fans. Some were happy with the end result, and others, not so much. Survivor's not a fair game by any stretch, but sometimes it can seem downright brutal in it's outcomes.

Wow, that was exciting! They sure can pack a lot into a single day of the game. Battle lines have been drawn. It's going to be exciting to see how it plays out from here.

Yay! We have officially reached the Merge, and the second stage of the game has begun. Many found this episode predictable as evidenced by the large number of correct selections for the Vote-Out choice in JSFL this week. There are a few front runners and fans also highlighted some potential Under-the-Radar winners too.

Whether or not you are a fan of "Earn the Merge", we can all likely agree this is so much better without the hourglass twist. The game will change dramatically from here. It should be interesting to see how the remaining eleven castaways adapt and interact as the jury begins to form. What do you think about being able to practice with exact replicas of the puzzles at home? What do you think about the overall level of variety in the challenges in seasons 41 through 44? How did your assessment of the castaways change after this week's gameplay? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out before the merge?

The double whammy of no Tribal and no formal closure as another castaway left the game left lots of fans wanting more. In spite of that, folks found lots of interesting developments to discuss.
