Survivor Season 44 Premieres 3/1/23
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...41b06c78aa.jpg
When Survivor kicks off its 44th season on Wednesday, March 1, the latest crop of castaways will include a bonafide rocket scientist, one of New York’s finest firefighters and — this could come in handy — a podiatrist! Per CBS, the Fiji-set cycle will find the 18 contestants “divided into three tribes of six” and facing “a faster, more dangerous season from the moment they step on the beach.” CAST:https://tvline.com/wp-content/upload...ocho.jpg?w=620Photo : Courtesy of CBS |

Fun Fact: This isn't an actual human being on Season 44 it's an AI Creation that combined the DNA of Sami and Owen from 43 |

Maybe if Survivor put some more survivor type skills into the game, we wouldn't get every woke student and stay-at-home mom competing. That lineup looks like every Target commercial for the last 3 years.

Just a reminder that season 44 starts Wednesday.

Whoops! I'm off on my days.

Re: Survivor Season 44 Premieres 3/1/23
I am going to be a day late every time. Once you get used to watching it on Paramount+ in 45 minutes with no commercials, it's too hard to go back.

Re: Survivor Season 44 Premieres 3/1/23
And of course I only finished watching Season 43 about a month ago 🙃

When the producers figured out that nobody wanted to watch seasons in Africa and Australia or someplace where the cast couldn't be stripped down in bikinis during water challenges didn't they agree that most people tuning in want to see HOT people wearing skimpy outfits wrestling around in challenges. Not sure where things changed to ugly looking and boring normal looking people with Dad bods or way too many Tatts and piercings. I know the original casting director retired long ago and it seems like they can't find anyone who knows how to cast this show anymore. I still DVR the show but now it's just become something I watch in the background while I'm doing other things. Sad. |
Re: Survivor Season 44 Premieres 3/1/23
CBS has a diversity rule: all future reality casts would contain at least 50 percent Black, Indigenous and people of color I'm sure that has affected casting, but by how much I don't really know. They seem to be casting a few too many superfans now though.

Re: Survivor Season 44 Premieres 3/1/23
Back in the early seasons I thought it would be funny if they did a season in Alaska. The cast would be bundled up like Eskimos camping on one of the Aleutian Islands.
Now that they are casting more average Joes and Janes it might be time to think about this? No, just kidding. I really don’t mind the new casting rules, but I do wish they would stop the men from stripping down to their underwear all the time and tell them all to bring a pair of board shorts or swimming trunks. |
Re: Survivor Season 44 Premieres 3/1/23
I don't get the average Joe's and Jane's sentiment here, I realize looks are subjective,but objectively almost all of the cast from an athletic standpoint are more fit then 90% of the general population. The guy who almost passed out in the immunity challenge was literally a former NFL player.

Re: Survivor Season 44 Premieres 3/1/23
I assumed it was getting harder to cast so they don’t have a lot of options.

Re: Survivor Season 44 Premieres 3/1/23
I found the first episode to be entertaining. Carolyn (the very first one introduced at the start) looks to be a real nut job.
Probst announced on his podcast that Bruce would be invited back for a future season after needing to leave so early in this one. |

There's not much new Survivor is doing, but the format still generally entertains me and it's an easy weekly watch. They did a good job at showing us a little from a lot of players (something the show hasn't done well in the past). The 2 hour episode with only one tribal council works well for that. This is the first season where the players saw the "Play it Safe" or "Risk your Vote" trips to the island on earlier seasons ... so I like that the show changed that up a little. It's nothing huge, but the new ideas for advantages/idols seem solid: "bank your vote", "inheritance". And that idol in a locked birdcage setup ... where it will be there for everyone to see when someone claims it. I didn't like to see Maddy go so early, but she really only has herself to blame. Lauren sounded like an easy vote, but Maddy had to be overly aggressive and try to make a big move in the very first vote. Props to Brandon for sniffing out trouble and playing his idol. |

have you tried the free codes? See steps under "Free is better than cheap" here — https://www.techhive.com/article/618...-for-free.html (the most updated code is at the site they mentioned, here )
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...6ca11500b7.jpg I'll just add a note on the calendar to cancel in time. Thanks! |
Re: Survivor Season 44 Premieres 3/1/23
If any of you have time, the new podcast with Jeff Probst is pretty good (so far...there's only been one episode).

Yeah, Carolyn seems like the sort to drive her tribe-mates crazy once we get past this "getting to know you" stage.

Re: Survivor Season 44 Premieres 3/1/23
I'm excited for tonight's episode.
I wanted to add that in the last week, I have binged the first 7 episodes of the current season of Survivor Australia: Heroes Vs. Villians and I am kind of in love with the 90 minute episodes. There is so much going on there that I love that we are getting more of the drama and the backstory... that and there aren't so many idols. Also, JLP, the host, does look like the love child of Jeff Probst and Anthony LaPaglia. :lol: |

Re: Survivor Season 44 Premieres 3/1/23
I'd have to kill myself if I was on a tribe with Jam Jam and Carolyn. Just 2 super annoying human beings.
Funny and super awkward moment this episode when that lady sat out the challenge again. "Is that a volunteer or a tribe decision?" "Both" "Huh..." |
