Looking forward to the new season in September.
I'm binging Survivor South Africa at the moment.
Few things sticking out compared to modern Usa Survivor
1) How stale the challenges have become in Usa Survivor (I believe season 42 featured 0 new challenges)
2) How the editors explain 'why x lost' before every tribal council rather than trying to blindside the audience every time. While it can make for boring tribal councils, at least its telling a much clearer narrative which is often lost in the modern advantage filled Usa game
3) Survivor 41 and 42 while having a diverse cast in terms of race/sexuality was very un-diverse in terms of being packed full of the nerdy strategist super fan archetype. I find it far more entertaining having the majority of the cast not knowing the game back to front with one or two super fans sprinkled in. 9 times out of 10 bad gameplay makes for better tv than good gameplay. (a bit like how I find the main event more entertaining than the average super high roller)
