My Survivor Story: A Fan is Born

In this blog post, I'll be sharing my introduction into the Survivor world, as suggested by a fellow Survivor fan.

It all started with Tocantins. I walked into the TV room of my house to catch my parents watching Season 18 of Tocantins and I joined them. I was intrigued by Stephen Fishbach being "the wizard" and Coach Wade being the "dragon slayer." And JT in all his awesomeness. I had no idea what was going on but I knew I liked it.

When Samoa came around, it was amazing and Russell Hantz was a big part of that. Love him or hate him, he drew me into Survivor and I owe him that. The way he played the idols and the way he, with the help of Natalie White, maneuvered the Foa Foa Four to the final five. I thought that was amazing and I was hooked. I can do a more in depth analysis of Russell Hantz, but I'll save that for a later blog. And Natalie White if that is requested.

With the end of Samoa came the start of Heroes vs Villains.
I had absolutely no idea who these people were except Russell, Tyson, Coach, and JT, and I could not wait to find out who they were.
Season 20 was my introduction to Tom, James, Boston Rob, Rupert, Courtney, Amanda, and Parvati.

Again, Russell with his manipulation and game play were the key points to keep me intrigued in the show, so again, I have to thank Mr. Hantz for making me a Survivor fan, but again, I will go into that in another blog.

After Heroes vs. Villains, I was determined to find out who these other contestants were and where they came from so I began my Survivor journey.

I had no access to anything except live TV so I was getting my Survivor from the live shows, and it was rough.
I watched Nicaragua all the way, but then I didn't watch a full season until Philippines. I was frustrated with the lack of gameplay in Redemption Island. I just got behind in South Pacific and didn't finish it. And One World was so frustrating and quit watching before Kim's game unraveled.

It was earlier this year I was able to watch past Survivor season on Amazon Prime. I have seen every single season at least once.
And here I am today. I am a super fan that can name every contestant in every season. I may not have started day 1 in Borneo, but I love the same game that all you wonderful fans love. I live and breath Survivor.
Thanks for reading and I can't wait for more blog posts.
