This might be the most nonathletic cast in quite a while maybe ever due to having a much higher age average but I don't mind at all, I like to see the struggle.
Parvati's smile hasn't lost a beat, it's still mesmerizing.
Fire-tokens at first glance feels like a nice twist with lots of options. It's a nice way to introduce idols and advantages into the game rather than hiding them in plain sight.
Fun start to the season very excited for this. Having this and Allstar Aussie Survivor at the same time is just showering us with Survivor goodness.
Agree with all this except for the nonathletic cast. Age doesn't mean anything and you can tell the savvy ones kept some strength but gained weight intentionally before the season started. Girls like Sarah, Kim, etc look like physical beasts and even Parvati looks amazing considering she had a kid less than a year ago. Guys like Wendell, Tony and Ben are in fantastic shape.
Was super happy to see a physical challenge immediately.
I got chills seeing who was there as well. They got some really good case members who should bring it strategy wise.
The two most boring women out first IMO. So that's a good sign for the season. Amber never had any type of chance anyway.
