Survivor: Edge of Extinction Premiere Thoughts

     What a shitty mess of a Survivor premiere episode. Look I went into this episode with very low expectations because I do not need a crystal ball to predict that this season is going to be complete garbage, but this episode was one of the worst premiere's the show has had. Yes, even worse than the premiere episode of Heroes v. Healers v. Hustlers, and that is saying a lot. First, I would like to discuss this rigga morris "twist" that Jeff Probst has thrown into the game. Hard-core fans of the show are not stupid ya'll; the Facebook cat lady casuals are, but the super fans are not. The twist is only in this season to give the returning players a chance to get back into the game in case they are voted out just like it was for Redemption Island and South Pacific, but Jeff Probst has said "Oh, we just like to experiment with new twists to give the fans something new." Jeff Probst is a obviously a liar just like when he said that twist for Ben in season 35 was not there to save him. Bullshit. It was. Jeff Probst has ruined Survivor. The show has had good seasons with him as executive producer, but when the show has had bad seasons, they have been absolute trash.

Aside from the god awful "twist" this season has, let's discuss this uninspiring cast we met tonight. Wow! Two purple edits tonight! Are we surprised? No. Julia and Chris have no shot of winning this season. Every one knows that the winner of the season always gets a confessional in the premiere episode (except for Tina, but that was in Australia (season 2). Like the producers could not have given us a confessional from either of them to at least give their opinions on other tribemates? Such lazy editing. Rick is going to get on my last nerves this season. I do not understand these people. Almost every season we see a nerd or a guy with a "great" Southern charm go far, and these people never take them out. They would be my first target because I know Jeff and production are going to do everything in their power to keep them safe in the game. Jeff is already calling Rick "Devens". That is a huge insight into the game. Jeff is trying to make this guy a thing, but this guy was such an ass hat tonight, that I am heavily rooting against him. Wardog was a douche. I hate how casting always has to cast a "Tony" player. Cast original people, not people who resemble others. Wendy is such an awful player. I liked her discussing her tourettes, but other than that...just no. She can go. Lauren is forgettable. Bye. Ron found an advantage. Insert the Da'Vonne gif of her pretending to be shocked. I did not need an eight ball to see that happening. Reem was such a predictable first boot, and the editors were trying to play it up like Wendy could have gone home. She was absolutely horrible at the game, and I hope she does not come back in. Honestly I am getting more mad talking about these people, so I am not going to waste my breath on any more of them. The only person I liked tonight was Aubry. I do not shit on Michele as a winner because I actually think she was deserving of winning, but Aubry would have been better. I think it would be great if she won this season even though it would be smart for the new players to get her out as soon as possible because she is a great Survivor player. So #TeamAubry.

     I don't know guys. This episode was just bad. It really was. It does not make me want to watch the rest of the season, but I'm going to, anyways. I may just hate watch it like I did with Ghost Island. I really am rooting for a woman to win this season. I am so sick of the same type of people winning season after season. And no, if there is a guy that is there in the end of the game and they played better than the girl, then the guy should win, but I am hoping for once that that does not happen. I am predicting another bad season of the show, and it really sucks considering David v. Goliath was an excellent season, overall (even though I think Mike should have won over Nick; he ran circles around him in the game). Let me know what you thought of this premiere! We'll see if I write more thoughts on the season, I am not sure. I will definitely do one for the finale!
