This season of Survivor has been absolutely outstanding.
Annika got voted out 3-1 and was utterly and completely shocked that Sam and Sierra turned on her.
And I LOVED it.
I don’t want hugs goodbye and a “good luck everyone!”
on the way out.
I want bad blood.
And that’s exactly what we get from Annika.
I think it overall underscores how this season of Survivor has felt like an old-school Survivor season.
We’ve had minimal sob stories and crying.
And the beware advantages are whatever to me.
I liked the caught-red-handed one and hated the building boxes one.
But overall, there’s definitely a lot less gimmicks than we’ve seen in the recent seasons.
Here are some of the most interesting storylines of the season thus far.
-Andy’s redemption arc.
He went from a crying mess on Episode 1 to a stone cold killer last night.
He’s still weird socially but he at least understands the game.
I would not be shocked if he has a major underdog arc and goes deep.
-Sam is a great player.
That would’ve left Sam as the only guy on a tribe with a brewing all-female alliance.
Instead, he gets to keep a solid ally in Andy who will seemingly listen to whatever he says.
-Rome is just a fun guy to root against.
-On the blue tribe, the most fascinating players to me are Gabe and Sue.
And Sue is clearly not the “mom” archetype that everyone thinks she is.
Overall, it’s been a great season and I’m looking forward to the rest of it.
Seems like a merge or something of the sort is coming next week.
Let’s just pray for no hourglass or a similarly dumb twist to ruin it.
