Season 36 premieres Wednesday, February 28. This season will focus on mistakes from past tribe members. Interested in seeing how they pull that off.

Survivor Season 36: Meet The Cast Of Ghost Island

Check your timers, Tivo didn't pick it up automatically, haven't checked my Genie yet...

Too tired last night to watch a 2 hour premiere. Definitely on my list for tonight.

Early but not really getting into the cast. Glad Seth Rogan is gone. Interesting with all of the old idols and immunity.

[dfergie]

Sorry to see Gonzalez go, I was thinking Seth Rogan also ...

 

[rockymtnhigh]

Saw the first episode. Not bad. Gonzalez was an idiot, and deserved to go home for that dumb play. But I'm not sure I could have taken several episodes of Bob Ross.

The game has changed SO MUCH over the years, in some ways it has lost some of its charm, as everyone is hyper-playing every minute.

 

[dfergie]

Dang it...

 

[teachsac]

This is one of the few tribals I did not know what was going to happen.

[dfergie]

Could have/should have taken Dom out...

Yeah, I was clueless, but it is so early, I have no strong feelings for the players yet.

I find the tribal loyalty strange given that the tribes were swapped after 6 days. The winning tribe that sent the player to Ghost Island was foolish. They couldn't pick someone? Meh....

 

[KaptainRandom]

I wanna see a season where...

The first couple 'rounds' are single group
(no initial tribes and individual immunity).

Then make random tribes after 2nd or 3rd 'out'.

And, reshuffle after each tribal
until back to single group.

I miss the days when they weren't playing SO HARD from the beginning.

Wasn't there a season where they were one big group for the first round or so?

Personally I'd like the idea of 2 (or 3) tribes, but have them all live at the same camp. That way there would be constant communication between them, thus limiting tribal unity. This would even allow for he shuffling idea you mentioned (could do it prior to each challenge).

 

[teachsac]

I thought they did that once with the tribes in the same camp.

Edit: Yep. Season 24 Men vs. Women (2 Tribes, 1 Camp, No Rules)

 

[dfergie]

Wasted that one...

 

[KaptainRandom]

Wasted that one...

Didn't go home with it,
Was a gamble selection,
Create beginnings of turmoil among opposing alliance.

Not a waste.
There will be more.

 

[rockymtnhigh]

Still a bit surprised by the loyalty to a "tribe" they were with for about 6 days. But a good effort, even if it came up short.

Jeff had it right -- find a way to avoid actually coming to tribal.

Also,
Showed he/they would use/share an idol on a gamble.

And, the idea to fabricate that the single idol represented both of James' unused idols was genius.

 

[dfergie]

But he lost an Allie & seriously misread who was being voted on...

 

[rockymtnhigh]

Last night's episode was kind of boring. Liked the woman they sent home, although Jeff nailed the problem on the tribe. their alliance of 5 might wipe out the other players, but when they merge that 5 will not have any other ties or connections to the other players.
