That’s not what bipolar is, dissociative identity disorder is the term you’re looking for, and I highly doubt that’s what Drew has, he’s just being corny.
That Lulu tribe is absolutely horrible. However decides who gets on the show needs to stop just filling diversity check marks and get people who actually want to play.
Emily made me realize someone can be overthinking strategy and completely miss the point.
Watching Brandon and the vape girl had me fuming, how can those 2 people qualify to be on the show when Brandon cant even lift his own body weight..
It's good to hear your voices again! Love Mary's voice, it's so soothing
I don't like Emily much, but she's my current winner pick after this episode. I feel like the edit is giving me almost Gabler edit vibes but Chaos Kass edition. Jeff also said Emily is one of his favourites in an article I've read, which makes me think she at the very least lasts a while to become a favourite. Edit: Plus the mat theory would be right yet again lol
Also I'm hoping Bruce makes it to the merge, I'm feeling he either just misses it or is an early merge boot. He just feels like middle material lol
I think I like where survivor is going (for the most part) this premier I have the most optimism for than 41,42,43,44. But I have to say, I feel like most of the players have too similar personalities. I hate to say it but it is starting to feel disingenuous to see them all act the same season after season. Too much “happy to be here” and “here for the vibes” kind of stuff
I hope I'm not the only 23 y/o thinking Emily is basically Stacey Dillsen from Zoey 101
My winner picks early are .
Bruce . Jake. Brandon for the boys.
The girls picks. Are Emily and sabiyah .
My winners pick early on . Jake might be the underdog middle of the pack group of players well see what happens next .
Plus no injuries this season yet good start
Wasn't Osten (from Pearl Islands) also verbally voted out as a quit in essentially the same way as Hannah?
Survivor Winners who came from what I'd consider disaster tribes: JT, Natalie White, Denise, Nick, Chris Underwood. (There are also a couple of people who started on disaster tribes but swapped out).
I canno't help my self ,but i would say this was one of the most boring ep 1 i have ever seen. Jeff is just nice guy never saying something bad (= boring). The only diversity of the cast is their race.
Bro, I just watched 90 minutes to watch a chick quit just to hit her vape.
I really wish they hadnt had a mat chat winner so many times in a row. It really takes all the fun out of the winner analysis when that's your total basis for predicting who wins.
The Lulu tribe ruined my week honestly
The guy host is so dumb and annoying. Let the girl talk
Waiitttt what if we don’t want you to tone down the mat chat? I tuned in to this podcast because I was having a tough time figuring out who got “mat chat” and wanted to hear your thoughts! And was wondering your thoughts on if marooning vs being already on the island affects mat chat? Or will it be the same?
Also: I was so excited to hear from Mary! Your guys photos in the beginning were so cute. You guys remind me that there’s someone out there who will analyze survivor with me!
Also- Austin is definitely the Jonathan! He’s buff and tall and hot!
I noticed that the men cry more than the women. That is really sad.Jake is not a Public Defender. He said he lied and he is actually an Assistant District Attorney which is the prosecutor side.
It's unfortunate Hannah was allowed to get voted out. First she should not have been given that since she quit, and second cause if she didnt Emily was probably gone and she is incredibly annoying. Would've loved to see her gone first.
Not going to lie, the moment I saw the mud and the barricade to crawl under I wondered if Bruce had vietnam flashbacks from last season.
This cast is horrible
Johnny FairPlay got his jaw broken by Danny Bonaducci at an award show a couple weeks before Survivor filmed.
Google Podcasts is going away btw 😢
Old-school Jeff would have thrown her torch in the fire and told her to leave. New-school Jeff is afraid of being cancelled.
I love and appreciate your work so much… just one thought… maybe we move away from shaming men who have the audacity to express emotion or vulnerability??? I’d much rather see tears than the whole “boys don’t cry” mentality.
The extra 30 minutes added nothing positive to this episode. I want to see 30 minutes of strategy and hard game play.
Bruce gives me Russell from Phillipines vibes! 😂 He doesn’t want to be perceived as the leader but he literally cannot help himself. I’m afraid it will become his downfall. He’d be better off if he stopped trying to control how people are perceiving him and just owned up to his naturally leader-like personality and tendencies.
Emily is Chaos Kass
Bruce is Russell Swan
Drew is a Spencer impersonator
Sifu is a Tony wannabe
Austin is Woo
It’s like casting wanted to recreate Cagayan and add Russell Swan to the mix. Lol. I’m sure there are more parallels but I won’t see them until I get to know people a bit better.
Why didn't Brandon take his medication. Survivor has always allowed people to take their prescriptions unless they are pain killers or will effect your mood.
Some thoughts:
-We got a lot of what we were asking for in terms of less advantages and more camp life… BUT what is lacking is the cast.
-the girl alliance on the blue tribe (Kellie, Katurah, and Kendra) have icon potential. Kellie is my winner pick.
-guessing that blue will dominate the pre-season challenges and lulu will consistently fail. I predict a winner will come from the blue tribe, similar vibes to 41
-I don’t hate Emily as much as so many people seem to do on twitter. I think she’s good entertainment even if she’s a bad player. I also think calling her racist is a bit of a stretch… she didn’t necessarily need to public ally call out Bruce in the beginning but was she wrong at the end of the day ???? Also, while I’m rooting for Kaleb and Sabiyah, we see people trying to break up early pairs all the time in Survivor.
Later on in the season we will unlist the podcasts that come after this one. However, they will always be on the podcast platforms mentioned in the video and they will always be in this playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-J4ldj2BdE3P77hIo1Q8Y4y6wIrVVYtO
I didn't know your dogs name is Lulu, that's my cats nickname as well. 😀
“No, she’s named. And her name is Hannah.” 💀🤣💀🤣
Weak minded therapist smh
I’m with Mary on the Kaleb train. I think having Emily target him first episode is setting him up as someone to watch for & if we’re getting an Ua repeat from Lulu he could come out swinging like an underdog.
Jake is definitely not the buff guy. Jake is not even A buff guy. Austin is the buff guy
Our dog is named Lulu as well and dumb as a rock is an apt description
If Caleb wins I wonder if he’ll cause someone on 47 to audition just because his win bugged them 😂
If brandon emily and hannah all 3 went home episode 1 i would not care one bit
anyone who decides to give up nicotine right before survivor: Zane on Matsing, Shane on Casaya, and now Hannah on Lulu. just why even show up? (although Zane and Shane were good entertainment)…..
Emily
All Bruce had to say at the beginning is “I DO have an advantage in this game, but only for the first day, I know where to start and the basic tricks that they don’t teach you, but tomorrow, I’m just as new as you guys” then back off after day 1. SIMPLE fix, but no. I’m also getting Gabler vibes from Bruce
The women’s alliance on the blue Belo tribe contains 3 women whose first names all start with K… you do the math 💀
I think my biggest problem with the quit is she got a decent edit. Like it was full of "I love you" and Jeff was nice and even gave her the "your tribe has spoken". Brandon and emily are getting absolutely wrecked in the edit, but Hannah is being portrayed as a self aware, loving, and good person
