I prefer when there's two tribes not three, but I'm partial to the Ika tribe because it's pronounced like my nickname Eeka.

I thought it was hilarious when the three were gone for so long, that the others were worried about them. Then when they ran back, someone says "why are they filthy?" LOL! I would've done the same thing as they did with the advantage, but I do think the blood was overdoing it. You're going to need a wound if there's blood.
I feel bad for the guy who really does have an injury, with his dislocated shoulder!!

I hope not, he seems nice. I feel like production was super dramatic about it though with all of the cameramen running up.

Ouch. Not a good way to start, by dislocating your shoulder. How is that one guy going to explain all the fake blood with no cuts?

The blue team seems like the most messy. They've got the bossy guy, the therapist who's using her therapy skills to manipulate the others, and they've already divided up 3-3 too. Interesting personalities this time!

This season is off to a much better start than last season, in my opinion.
I love Maryanne! She's so fun. Jackson's story was great. Daniel (I think?) is a childhood cancer survivor. I love getting to know them early on, especially with such a short season.

Are they really making this man leave because he’s on lithium? Why can’t they just supply it for him? I was on lithium for years. Being without it is debilitating but, I don’t see why they can’t give it to him.

That's so sad! I feel so bad for Jackson, but love how he handled it and said it was the best 48 hours for him. I don't really understand the whole thing, but it was handled very thoughtfully.
Now what? They're down a tribe member already, and there's still a challenge to go, right?

Post by waywyrd on Mar 10, 2022 2:23:00 GMT
I missed a little of the conversation - did he stop taking the lithium and they were worried about the side effects?
Maryanne sure was upset about it. That girl wears her heart on her sleeve...

Lydia's outfit at this challenge is unfortunate! It doesn't match at all! That's a cool immunity idol! I don't remember seeing one as beautiful as this one. Jonathan blows everyone else out of the water athletically! It's nice to see there aren't a bunch of body builder types out there, but he's kind of on an island as far as muscles and power go! LOL I love the skinny guys, and there are plenty of other hard workers. But Jonathan looks like an NFL player at a high school football game.

I worry Jonathan will get voted out way early due to his muscles. And I like the guy!!

Oh good, orange wins. I'm glad for them because of the whole Jackson situation.
Blue team loses.

Rocksroy comes off as such a jerk. Zack has messed up already, but I like him!
Romeo wants Tori out, Drea is willing to do what he wants. Come on!

Post by Navybelle on Mar 10, 2022 2:46:09 GMT
Ooo, Tori with the snotty under-her-breath comment to Zack's back: "Good job on the puzzle today."
I hope she goes, and not Zack! Rocksroy won't go along with a Tori vote, seemingly because he just doesn't want to change his mind - decide and stick with it is his motto. Or something like that, I don't know, he's just too arrogant and harsh for me.

So far I like Omar just because he is an exotic animal vet.
Why in the hell is Lydia even on this show with her list of stuff she hates that are all parts of the game?
Maryanne is too adorable with her excitement

I wish Zack would shut up. Stop telling them all you're a target! Stop exposing how you were thrown under the bus by the therapist. He's doing himself no favors, and will likely be voted out. I feel bad for him, but the guy is just playing badly!

Tori is going to cause a lot of drama. Bye, Zach! We hardly knew you.

Jackson going home was so sad. Couldn't they have given him his medication. ? I love Maryann, that huge smile of hers. So far, just like amazing race, I like most of them .We saw Daniel holding his shoulder, I hope he doesn't have to go home. I hope it's a good season...

You all are cracking me up! I had many of the same thoughts about the fake blood, that part was so strange. He loaded that all over himself and literally nothing happened to him... surely someone will notice that. Good for Zach for trying to save himself with the chance. He would have regretted it if he hadn't. He had nothing to lose by doing it.

The eyes got huge as Jeff explained the "new" game. NO RICE! Imagine. The three girls hiking over the mountain was something they re-used from last season. I'm still not sure how it will work if one decides to go safe and the other two decide on risk. I think Zach enjoyed being the first to go as that is a great part of the experience. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see his torch snuffed as I was watching LIVE on Paramount and it got glitchy. I also missed most of Jeff's talk with Jackson (?)and was sad he had to go. I did look up uses for Lithium and found that it is used for the most part with the manic phase of Bi-Polar disease. This I knew; what I missed was whether he would have been able to play without a mood stabilizer. Fascinating person; I wish him the best.

One of the side effects of the drug is dehydration which would also impact the dose needed in an ongoing way. There was a huge lability (I assume) for the show if they were to keep someone who was currently taking the drug because of the regulation of dosage and the fact as Jeff mentioned, the typical stress and dehydration that normally occur can have severe negative impacts on him. I think the fact that he took the removal so well means he understood how serious the risk factors were in his case.

Maryann and Omar are my two favorites, I love that they are the ones that solved the puzzle giving their team immunity. Maryann is tops for me, though. That smile when Jeff walked up to them at the beginning did it for me. She seems like someone I would want to know in real life.

Season 41 and 42 were filmed back to back. That is interesting and I like that Jeff P said they were using some of the same twists in 42 that they used in 41 and there would be new ones. Good.
I normally do not have very strong reactions to the players preview questionnaires, I like to see them on air and then make an opinion. However, season 41 I must admit I started the season basically disliking everyone, they all came off so arrogant and the typical pretty people cast. Season 42 questionnaires did not offend, I felt neutral about the players except maybe Omar as he came across arrogant on the questionnaire but not in person. Generally speaking this is the first cast in long time it has been about the regular ordinary person, the fans, the nerds, the dumplings, the weird, those that don't quite fit, and not the pretty boys and girls I detest as many viewers seem to support the younger athletic guys with the pretty hair and abs. I have a good feeling about this season.
Interesting to note: that there were two get to know stories, one about Jackson being transgender and I would never have guessed it until it was revealed, and Daniel having leukemia as a child. Those were very nicely done. I hope Jackson is given another chance at the show.

Thoughts:
Ika - blue
1. Zach - part of the skinny boy alliance - I worry that a 118 lb skinny is put on this show, is there the possibility he will be medically DQ'ed for loosing too much weight if he got deeper into the game? Seemed very hard on himself - wished he stayed longer
2. Rocksroy - is going the irritate the heck out of his tribe with his personality and kinda bullying, can see him butting heads with Drea
3. Romeo - part of the skinny boy alliance - he has not shown himself to be the mean, backstabbing, token gay Survivor normally casts, I could see him being a good partner
4. Swati - seems stable and smart
5. Tori - may be too sneaky
6. Drea - I can see her butting heads with a lot of people, very strong don't get in my way personality
Taku - orange
1. Jackson - interesting backstory - wish he had been able to stay in the game a bit longer
2. Lindsey - that girl can run
3. Maryanne - quirky, like her, but I can see viewers getting very tired even hating her for being too emotional later in the season (Canadian)
4. Marya - hardly saw her except for the first challenge and know she can't make a very good bamboo stick
5. Jonathan - The work horse of the tribe but not arrogant as I thought he might be
6. Omar - another one who I thought would be arrogant but I like him (Canadian)
Vati - green
1. Hai - nerdier than I thought from the questionnaire
2. Chanelle - I don't remember this person
3. Jenny - liked her at the triangle puzzle, cool and collected, did well at the dragon puzzle, seems to be one of the better puzzle people
4. Lydia - I don't remember this person -- oh --- the dumpling gen Z who doesn't like anything
5. Daniel - lucky he was not Medically DQ'ed, he seemed an easy vote out but his tribe did not go to tribal council, would like to see more
6. Mike - ah, he is Puerto Rican, but that accent is a hoot, liked that he didn't try to do the strong man water carry for the tribe that was smart

Great premiere! I am almost positive that they planned on having one tribe winning immunity but with Jackson leaving the game two tribes were able to win. I like the Amulet advantage seems very interesting and I am impressed with how Lindsay Hai and Drea pulled that off.
So far I love everyone on this cast except for Rocksroy. I dont think he will go far with that kind of attitude, did you see how he talked down to Swati telling her to clean her shoes so disrespectful omg. I was really hoping he was voted out.
I think the fans were hyping Zach up way too much pre season and I predicted he would be another JD and leave early but I wasnt expecting him to go in the premiere. So far I think Maryanne is my favorite I love her energy I hope she goes far.

So far I think Maryanne is my favorite I love her energy I hope she goes far. I wouldn't say disrespectful but he is not her father and she is not his kid. It's an island, there is sand, why the heck does he care if her shoes are covered in sand or not? OCD much? That just came out of nowhere, it was strange. His my way is the only way attitude will get him targeted. However, I don't think Drea really thought he didn't do anything in the challenge, I mean we all saw him trying to retrieve the chests, I don't remember seeing her that much. Seems like a bunch of alphas trying to lead the herd. It is a bit early to get rid of your strong guys they are there to carry big heavy stuff.
