Hey Survivor Fans! I apologize for not posting in forever. School has been getting rough and I am struggling to find time for everyday things. But with a new Survivor season starting up, I have somehow managed to get an extra hour of my Wednesday nights.
So without further ado, here is my analysis of Survivor: Kaoh Rong Episode 1.
*Contains Spoilers*
So we get the opening shot of the castaways getting the supplies off the boat, etc. Right off the bat we see the tribes interacting.
The Brawn tribe is my favorite tribe. I really like Kyle/Jason's attitude saying "I just want my paycheck, and you're my paycheck."
Scot is also a favorite. I was not expecting him to play as strong as he came out playing.
Cydney is alright. Not much strategy going on, but whatever works for her is good. She seems like the type that likes to keep the strong in and we've seen that attitude with Coach in Tocantins and we all know how that turned out.
Jennifer is good. She seems to be solid with Jason and Scot so she should be fine for a couple more days until the tribe switch.
Darnell was one of my favs. He seemed like he had a good shot at going far. I was mistaken
As for Alecia, oh geesh. I felt bad for her because they judged her hardcore for looking weak, but us Survivor fans know her background. But when Jason asks her, trying to save her, "Do you have an idol?" and she responds "Maybe I do maybe I don't." She has zero social game.
The brain tribe is frustrating to watch. They already have a boot list. Joe then Debbie. Seasons like Redemption Island, South Pacific, One World and Caramoan that have a boot list are boring to watch. It is an easy way to get to the million and I'm not bashing any players from that season, but watching a tribal council and knowing who is going home is never fun.
Seasons like the first Brain, Brawn, Beauty (S28), where the boot list is unpredictable, are excellent seasons. Hopefully the brain tribe doesn't play it safe and grows a pair.
The beauty tribe is strange. They begin divided boys vs. girls and as soon as Tai goes to look for that idol, it's all of them vs. Tai. I know Tai is a lot of people's favorite player this season because he is such a wonderful person, but as a Survivor player, I don't know. Based on what the edit showed,Tai had no way to look for that idol without being caught and he did it anyway. I was not very smart and I worry about his future in the game.
Fast forward to Tribal and Darnell gets sent home. I do think they voted out Darnell for strategic reasons. He did make a good point that Alecia didn't do anything during the challenge so it wasn't for physical reasons.
The positives of having Alecia around is she is predictable. She is like the Abi-Maria of this season. They keep her because if you can have her on your side, she is an extra vote. Darnell is going to be a threat in the future. He has a sob story and it is a strong one. He almost flipped Jennifer to be vote with him. So Darnell is not like every other first boot that is voted off for being weak. He was a threat and Jason and Scot took advantage of that. As much as I hate to see him go, if I was in the game with Darnell, I would want to have someone I know I can beat with me than someone who has a powerful story. Also the Tribes of three last for a short time, so getting rid of a strong person early can easily benefit you in the long run.
