Survivor Fans Podcast

We gather together one last time to take stock of Survivor Season 48. It was no surprise that the Finale and the season as a whole got mixed reviews. Some were overjoyed and especially thrilled with the winner. Others, were left wondering where this one went so wrong. But as always, we found joy in getting together to discuss it all and learn from each other. We are grateful to get to experience it all with you, and look forward to gathering again in September for Season 49.

The Finale got off to a good start, and then fizzled a bit at the end. We were happy with the winner and the challenges were good, but the big reveal we were hoping for never really materialized. We were hoping for more from the Final Tribal Council. The After Show was once again, the After Show. We've enjoyed sharing the season with you and look forward to hearing your thoughts about it as well. What did you think of the Finale challenge? Who's gameplay impressed you the most? Were you happy with the end result? What Final Tribal Council questions stood out for you? How about the Survivor After Show? What's your take on the season as a whole?

Some fans were delighted that we finally got some strategic action, and for others it was too little, too late. It was fun to hear all the theories on how it might play out and why.

Fan reactions were mixed again on this last episode. Some enjoyed the extra insights into the social elements of the game, and others remain frustrated at the lack of action against the front runners. Here's hoping the next one delivers some action worthy of a winner. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show.

Is it possible to still enjoy an episode with a predictable outcome? This one wasn't quite the rug pull as last time, but the result was essentially the same. We got a lot of talk about what was possible, what the underdogs should do, but still no action. Who do you feel like is a shoo-in to win it all now?

This was one of the most discussed and least enjoyed episodes this season. It never pays off to pitch a potential underdog uprising and then not deliver. There is still time and possible scenarios exist to overthrow the dominant duo, which leaves us hopeful for the next installment on Wednesday.

It was great to get separate Reward and Immunity challenges again. They aren't the most exciting, but the "A Bit Tipsy" Immunity challenge usually incorporates some great tension as the lead switches back and forth. The previews had teased a possible "revolution" this week, but the result failed to deliver which compounded the disappointment. What are the chances that we might still see a significant challenge to the strong alliance? How did your assessment of the castaways change this week?

Responses were mixed on this episode. Some loved it, others were left feeling it was missing relevant content.

Holy smokes it happened! What was starting to look like a forgone conclusion has now blown the game wide open. It's anyone's game now. Who would you target next?

Some clumsy editing caused this episode to fall short of a unanimous positive response, but on the whole, most fans really enjoyed it. It feels like we are at a crossroads, and the next episode has the potential to be very significant. Will we get a predictable win by the controlling alliance, or will we see the underdogs shake things up and flip the script? We can't wait to find out where this season will take us next!

Finally, we're back to some standard, post Merge gameplay, but that doesn't mean it was easy. How would you respond when you see the game slipping away from you?

With double Tribal Councils, our first jury member, and a record breaking challenge performance, this episode sparked a lot of discussion amongst the super fans this week. While the double elimination with a rollback to two tiny tribes is off putting to some fans, sentiment on the whole was positive. Now that we've finally exited the Mergatory, we are excited to see how the game progresses from here.

The Mergatory episodes have a history of being on the predictable side, and that lead some fans to describe this one as boring compared to the previous episodes.

Drop your buffs and rally at Merge Beach! The game is shifting gears. It's time to test those alliances and find out who can really handle it when the chaos level gets cranked to 11. Who do you see emerging in the majority alliance? Is it possible to get a group to agree to no backstabbing and to play with integrity in this day and age? How long will the strong alliance last?

The fans loved this action and emotion packed episode, and twenty four of them showed up this week to share their reactions, perceptions, and predictions. Everyone acknowledged the significance of "the moment", but were also asking how that will impact the game going forward.

That felt like another jam packed episode. The Reward challenge was fun with some new elements but maybe a bit anticlimactic at the end. We got some good Tribe Time framed by the rewards and lack thereof. Then we got an emotional Immunity challenge, topped off by a bit of a curve at Tribal Council.

Tribe shuffles inject randomness and really test a castaways ability to adapt and roll with the punches. It's unfortunate that production chose to stay with tiny tribes, but on the bright side, we certainly got a surprise out of it. That was a great demonstration of strategic gameplay!
