Survivor: South Pacific

That’s exactly why I appreciated Mia. I wanted to like NaOnka but she was waaaaaaaaaaaay too overbearing. Mia was like a NaOnka who showed up, was loud/obnoxious/trashy, but didn’t hog airtime and never got to be too much. She was a prefect balance for me.

There are actually people that think Jane isn’t terrible? I like her as a character but I like her BECAUSE she’s so awful as a human being. Her meltdown alone shold have affirmed that. Sash was pretty slimy, too. Chase…I hated him at the time but I kind of appreciate him more in retrospect, I’d have to rewatch to say for sure though.

Well, Jane WAS liked by casuals and won Fan Favourite (how the hell she won it over Fabio I don’t know). Of course…how much of that had to do with Mortgage-gate I don’t know. Also, screw Jane and Mortgage-gate for RIP-ing Voting Confessional videos as Insider Videos as a result.

Jeff/Jordan/Rachel/Brendon were the bad guys, but Dani/Kalia were annoying as fuck. It was a lose-lose to me. I couldn’t take the season seriously. I really didn’t give a fuck who won.

I wonder if Survivor will ever do the after-dark version. I understand it will be a lot harder since they are not in a house, but damn tie some cameras up on tree or some shit. Get creative…

That wouldn’t really work the same. After Dark works for Big Brother because they just air what the cameras are filming unedited for like 2 hours since it’s live. With Survivor they can’t do that since they’ve filmed all of it months in advance. Hell, the season that starts up on February 15th was finished filming by the end of September if I remember right. Stuff like that’s how spoilers get out.

I really really wish that they could do a Survivor: After Dark, I bet it would be fascinating. I love watching the insider videos so it would be cool to see more inside the game. But yeah, unfortunately it’s impossible.

So the S24 cast list is up on CBS and EW.com.

Also, there’s some other things EW mentioned in the write-up:

[details=Spoiler] - If you find your tribe’s HII, you have to give it to someone from the other tribe.

  • There will be at least one of those “do it yourself” challenges, like the Bocci Ball one they had in Samoa
  • There will be the return of Reward Challenges
    [/details]

I’m liking the cast from what I’ve seen. And the twists, other than the return of Jeff-less challenges, seem good too.

It’ll be like those challenges from Pearl Islands where the only real challenge commentary we got was a caption saying “Morgan Behind”.

Well, I remember then Samoa did that Bocce Ball challenge without Jeff and it was honestly pretty boring. =\

NOTHING with Danger Dave Ball is boring.

Potential S25 info:

Spoiler

Kenny posted that he’s going to be out of the country for a while in the near future. People are speculating that he’s on.

Spoiler

Yeah, I heard about that on Sucks. I’m not surprised at all he’d be on, but I’m more surprised I had to hear it on Sucks first. One of my RL friends knows Kenny a bit and “Sai” and the rest of whatever connections I’ve had have been quiet. Guess I should’ve dug earlier, lmao. Either way, that’s awesome if it’ true.

It definitely isn’t conclusive, though, to be sure. It really does seem to be a bit early. Still, it’s interesting if it’s true.

Yeah, it’s definitely something to think about. [details=Spoiler] That being said, if it was like an e-mail to a few people and one of them spread it and screwed up his chances, I’ll be PISSED. [/details]

Spoiler

Hooooooonestly, I wouldn’t be that shaken up over it because I was fairly neutral on Kenny. He was an okay villain but I hated how arrogant he was. I wouldn’t be torn up if he was removed and there was another shot for another favorite of mine to get on. Although most of my favorites have literally no chance.

Spoiler

True, but I have a random soft spot for him since on top of being an awesome underdog (I’ll never buy that incredibly forced ‘villain’ thing he got when Sugar and Bob were easily more villains than him, and he was against Corinne/Randy/Kota, who were easily the villains), him being on actually got my friend watching Survivor which got me to re-connect with him, so…

I can understand that. I have a lot of soft spots for random players too. I’m doing a “recent player” ranking on Sucks right now and a lot of my choices are random as hell and get even moreso later on. I randomly love players and once I do, I rarely…un-love them.

So it seems that the blog spoiler may be fake? That’s a shame if true. Hippo really needs a life.

[details=Spoiler] Nah, as I said apparently Kenny DID say he was going to be working on something for the first few months of the year, so I don’t think it’s fake. It’s one of those things where someone stumbles on something, puts it somewhere else, and then goes to try and take credit for it.

Ah, alright. Hippo still needs a life, though. He’s still trolling me over the fact that I said that Corinne played one of the best games in Gabon a while back.
