P.S. These are raw commentary. By no means this an in-depth analysis of the first two episodes. The third one is coming soon.


 * 1) It's pretty interesting they had the survivors out on the barge the night before the marooning when it's raining. Mother Nature's housewarming gift. If I was a contestant though, I would've sat closest to the food.
 * 2) I love that Jonathan is still in between "old school" Probst and "big moves" Probst. As much as this version is having modern Survivor sensibilities into it, Jonathan is not pushing it too much like Probst does.
 * 3) A.K., Survivor is about making friends. If you're oblivious to that, then you're following the trail of Andrew Torrens from last year. Watching tryhard gamebots like you will get old FAST. Actually, it already had gotten to that point when you had a paranoia fit with Tara when she was vomiting.
 * 4) Sarah was runner-up on The Face Australia. She also witnessed her coach Naomi Campbell's "DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF TO ME!" roast on poor Nicole Trunfio after her team got wiped out. If Sarah was able to put up with Naomi, she can handle this game, no doubt. Her biggest challenge is overcoming the "model stigma" and prove she can hold her own at challenges.
 * 5) Mark W should just stand for "Wahlberg" because he looks like the actor (lol).
 * 6) Kent is setting himself up for trouble here. Being the oldest and most out of shape of your tribe, you should've put yourself out there trying to prove you're worth keeping around, not idol digging the first minute out.
 * 7) I don't know what's with Survivor and barrel racers.
 * 8) Mark H does remind me of Tom Hanks on Castaway. I will die laughing if his luxury item is a volleyball named "Wilson."
 * 9) I like the idea of having a second Reward Challenge on the same episode but giving out a lit torch may be a bit too much.
 * 10) I'm not an outdoorsman by any stretch of the imagination, but I know for sure that's not how you catch a shark or fish of any sort. Richard Hatch must be facepalming in shame at this point.
 * 11) Joan, you're Filipino, so ILY, but you don't brag about your puzzle prowess BEFORE your first Survivor puzzle. It's not even close. You also don't expose your flaws to your tribe especially before a challenge. You must have been suffering from PTSD since for every time you see a puzzle or a treadmill.
 * 12) I miss how the US version had first Immunity Challenges that are as physically punishing as this premiere's.
 * 13) Ben had absolutely zero airtime this episode, and I'm surprised I remembered him.
 * 14) Luke is likely being set up for a possible future satisfying blindside.
 * 15) I wasn't expecting a tie in the first Tribal Council. I mean it's unnecessary.
 * 16) If Joan's challenge performance wasn't terrible enough, try listening to her. A wise Survivor winner once said, loose lips sinks ships. Own that you sucked at the challenge, don't make excuses.
 * 17) I would've liked it more if in the Episode 2 Reward Challenge, the distance between the slide and the squares was longer. Great modification of the slip 'n slide challenge though.
 * 18) Jarrad does look like Cao Boi minus the big mouth.
 * 19) Luke's spy shack LOL. Tony must be grinning on his couch.
 * 20) Chicken idol? Really? REALLY?! The fucking stick looks more legit than that.
 * 21) Jonathan's "nice cheeks" comment made him one step closer to becoming "Inappropriate/Predator Probst."
 * 22) Adam carried himself too poorly with all that idol clue drama. He used it to basically blackmail everyone into following him. It backfired horribly. He further dig himself a hole by asking his tribe to vote him off because of his mistake. His tribe was more than happy to oblige.
 * 23) Editors can't make up their minds when to bleep out expletives or not.
