Hopefully Survivor learns from this and never decides to stray from a 90 minute premiere again. Even with commercials that extra time could've given Simone and Katrina, among a few others some more confessionals. But it seems like they don't always learn. They made a mistake with JP tonight that they made 18 season ago with Marcus. It's a good episode and at least these nerds (Mike and Ryan) will be more fun to root for than Hannah, Zeke, and Adam (at least Mike and Ryan are different enough, Zeke, Hannah, and Adam were like a three headed strategy confessional monster at times lol). Speaking of similarities, Joe wants to be Tony and Alan wants to be Culpepper so bad.

I think the frustrations with this episode's edit are similar to Michaela's boot (though unlike Michaela's boot in Game Changers, they had twice as much time to explain why they chose Katrina). We want to be shocked, not confused, by the edit. There's a difference. Also adding to the confusion, apparently it Katrina's interviews the "Mom Squad" wasn't really a thing. I'm not too surprised since we only heard the majority alliance refer to them as the Mom Squad (as opposed to Worlds Apart's Axis of Evil alliance, both Shirin an outsider and Rodney an alliance member called it that) but still interesting.
