S35 Ep:6 "This Is Why You Play Survivor" (11/1)

<< < (4/5) > >>

Jimmer:
I know that every season with 18 players since Cagayan (and maybe even earlier?) have all merged after 6 premerge episodes (at F12 or F11 depending on if someone quits/medevacs).

To me I don't really mind the themes, and although if they are forced, it does provide some storyline premerge.

I think a late merge would be interesting, no matter if there is 1 or 2 swaps and it would be nice and refreshing since a merge after 6 episodes/at F13 or F12 is predictable.

I don't think I would like a season without swaps and I would be afraid that postmerge would be boring and lead to a Pagonging. That isn't always true since Pearl Islands had no swap but was a fantastic season and had great postmerge, but I would just be fearful of that.

Also, I am interested to see how the merge goes this season because it is the first season to not have 2 tribes at any point in premerge (going from 3 tribes to 3 tribes to 1).

Well said. Why have a merge this early? This season is going down quickly.

It's getting better and better IMO.

Marionete:
Yeah, the strategy/moves haven't been that flashy yet, but I liked the storytelling and editing post-swap a lot more.
And the Alan boot episode was no doubt a bomb :lol:

The pre-merge was generally pretty mediocre IMO, but I certainly wouldn't say the season's going downhill. It's quite the opposite.

Btw, I remember Jeff saying in an interview that late-merge is very sispenseful and that the winner is unclear till the very end, so I'm really excited to see that unfold. :lol:

gamerfan09:
The premerge was good! IDK, I feel like the premiere and episode 2 were not good, but then it's much better now and actually solid. I'm actually looking forward to the merge and the potential new dynamics.

Ryan needs to go ASAP though, merge boot please :)

Jobby:
I like this season so far. I just hope that it wasn't this theme. The theme isn't emphasize on so why not just drop it? You know previously where there was blue vs white collar etc the theme was kinda repeated and mentioned throughout.

Now it seems like nobody cares if they are a hustler or a healer or a hero... they are just playing the game... so the theme this season, I hope we never see it again!
