Survivor Gabon - Mid Season
Well, I had planned to post after each episode of Survivor Gabon, the fact I have not is a good indication of how I feel about the season.
It’s not bad, don’t get me wrong, I don’t think any season of Survivor could ever be bad — it’s just not going to be one of the classics.
Firstly it’s boring when one tribe dominates so much. It’s only now I feel like I know anything about most of the Kota members…but at the same time I do want Fang to fail, they’ve been pretty much the dumbest tribe in Survivor history, making dumb move after dumb move — they don’t deserve rewards and immunity so I am glad they aren’t getting them — but it makes for boring viewing.
Secondly, too much tribe switching up. Twice now they have done it, and that’s before the merge. Survivor isn’t meant to be a game of luck, it’s a game of skill and as boring and predictable and frustrating as it might be seeing someone dominate, if they do it they do it. Switching tribes so much just screws peoples games, sends people home before their time, makes weaker people able to stay.
Oh well, hopefully it will pick up post merge, it’s certainly done that before (last season any one?)
