I've just watched it recently. It's not as bad a you here have been saying..?
I didn't have really high expectations, so I wasn't disappointed, but there were a few things I didn't like.
Yeah, a cast of 24 is something I hope they'll never do on American Survivor, because I feel like I only got to know ~10 of them anyway. It's only the premiere, but still, there's quite a lot of confusion.
I found the immunity challenge pretty strange, it seemed too long imo. The pyramids, the net jump, stools & planks, pulling of the chest AND a puzzle?? That's like 2 challenges mixed into 1, I don't get why they needed that?
I got bored during several segments towards the end, like the music was overly dramatic and there wasn't much going on... For example, they edit the voting ceremony much much better on US Survivor.
And I feel like the blue tribe is gonna dominate, but maybe that's bias after seeing them win this episode.
