I agree, but I think it’s because they don’t do anything. No hunting or fishing, no building a better shelter, etc. No exploring for more resources. Just sitting and talking.
i think they could just not eat and do the show on a Zoom call from their apartments.
Pretty accurate points, Tango. I basically agree here. If we're wrong, that's on production for not showing us more. Plus, that's on them being lazy since they've increased the show by 50% which now seems permanent. It's pretty sad as they have over 2 decades of material to adapt to avoid being voted out. Sure the show changes, but the basics and what not are available for people to study & prepare for prior to their shot at the title.
The zoom thing actually makes sense in all fairness. I think they'd still have to meet in one setting for a TC.
From that comes a visual that'll be stuck with me this evening. Since Survivor loves Survivor, they'd have TC in an empty Applebee's restaurant (store settings are still there for visual effect). Amid pre-voting chat comes (at least) two survivors like Maria & Charlie having to hold Liz back from Jeff Probst as he eats an Applebee's dinner in his spot during TC

Oops, I meant Tevin. He also left with a pocket idol, right? If not, never mind. All these idols, can't keep 'em straight.
No, Hunter did.
I think 30 Helens was wondering if Tevin left with an idol in addition to Hunter & Tiffany. Or not; it isn't easy to keep everyone in track. Tevin was booted big time in the aftermath of HII talk. Q wanted Tiff gone & so did Maria, but there was a fear about the plan getting skunked with her idol. If only they knew that she was planning to use it on one of her opponents at final tribal council if she'd made it that far.
That last sentence was a joke, BTW

Personally, I’m not a big fan of any of Survivor’s episode-long restaurant chain product placement ads - but relatively speaking, I’d take Outback over Applebees any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
100%. No burgers or dip for me. The safe bet for me is to go to Applebees for a drink while placing a takeout order from Outback

Sure, but both Liz and Tiff talked about going to Applebee's every week. Liz for a burger, Tiff for artichoke dip and cocktails. I think both of them were exaggerating, possibly urged to do so by whoever is in charge of marketing. It just seemed like one big overblown commercial, trying to convince us that contestants on Survivor miss Applebee's food more than anything else in the outside world.
As mentioned, Applebee's is okay for me. Not on my Top Ten for options for eating & drinking. That's regardless of quality and business level. People like Liz & Tiffany can eat wherever they want and whenever they want, but IMO, I would think they can do better. Or there are better options on a weekly basis.
Applebee's is great when it comes to advertising. There's the part of making money & what I'd disagree with. That would be someone saying "no thanks". Unless you have options, I wouldn't pass on Applebee's, so Survivor and other big business are smart to do business with them. Just not a fan of making an episode out of it. I guess 90 minute-episodes counted here

Wow, I would imagine that Applebee's would generally be better than most of the sorts of national restaurant chains that don't have dedicated servers and the ability to serve alcohol. I think that it's in a class of restaurants like Chili's, TGIF, Outback Steakhouse, Buffalo Wild Wings, Red Robin and Ruby Tuesday. From my memory, I'd rank it at the bottom of those types, but above pretty much most national fast food chains like the ones you've listed that only have counter service.
Applebee's is fine. While I haven't been to one in quite awhile, the one or two times I went for the full experience was pretty good. No issues for me. I can't say the same thing about TGIF; BWW can be hit or miss (rarely the latter), but sometimes things aren't great. I just concluded it as a busy period and nothing personal. And it wasn't since the people at the Buffalo Wild Wings I've gone to hustle. No laziness there. For me, definitely better than Applebee's.
In terms of quality, of course one would rank it over a fast food place, but not necessarily preference.

This (the lack of not being able to make fire) blows my mind. And Liz had it in here to say someone wrecked her game. What game. While the final 4 fire-making thing isn't unpopular, you sorta need to be able to handle that, or you better win the last IC.

In an attempt to take it one step further than JudyObscure as it relates to the disappointment toward Ben, sometimes I'd root for an unpopular outcome. Or not, but be okay with the following: Q makes a move to boot Ben. While being okay with losing, he decides to go with an attempt to do whatever it took to stay in the game. At least until Ben was no longer in the game. That way of addressing Q's rights or decision to choose people other than Liz would be fine for me.
It doesn't change how great it would be for him to be out, but at least you doing something that shows care in the game of Survivor. Can't change past actions, but just have to move forward from here

I mean, no big fan of Applebee's -- don't think I've been to one in a decade or more -- but rich people can have all sorts of culinary tastes and be bound by nostalgia, force of habit, etc. From my quick googling, it looks like Liz lives in the Orlando, FL area, so I would imagine that there are "better" options than Applebee's.
IMO, there are better options in Western Pennsylvania than Applebee's. Including Arby's, one or 2 McDonalds, Subway, and even one or 2 Little Caesars (the KMART ones)

For several options on news related to the release of the 2024-2025 CBS Primetime TV schedule, I'd go a GOOGLE search for them. Especially given the fact that The Wrap actually wrote something to the tune of Survivor being back with an "All-Star Cast" for Season 47 which, in reality, is more than the opposite.

I’m sorry, folks, this is all my fault. For the last several years, I’ve been recording all of my shows, including Surviver, and watching them on time delay so I can FF over commercials.
That would make this week's episode about 27 seconds long bc it's mostly an Applebee's commercial.
I probably would have replied with a gif full of a standing ovation if I had more time. Since that isn't happening, I might have to frame your response and display it in the Hall of Fame instead.
And Jodithgrace, you have nothing to be sorry for. I pretty much do the same. Though I never expected a point where it might be better to fast forward from one commercial break to the next, but here we are

I can't understand how Applebee's exists as a food chain. That's just me since I can cook. Plus, when Chick F La is an option and someone had to eat out, there are other options.
Speaking of options, I think I'd take the option of simply walking out of TC if I lost. Saying it's awesome to get blindsided is insulting to people that didn't make it onto Survivor. I don't need for someone to cause a scene, but I need to see a little fire or some pain for losing. Show that you care more than people like me who can't understand why you'd bother to obtain a hidden immunity idol to use as a Ponderosa poker card protector before playing it to advance in the game

I'm sure Liz is a rather decent person in real life. The fact is that there are a ton more worse people in life than Liz.
That being said, this show may not have been for her. Maybe going on a race around the world would've been a better call.
Liz's comp is Danielle. You want the positives but can't take the heat. While big moves is key, how you handle it is important too. In addition, eating is important, but maybe sign up for Top Level Chef or Kitchen Nightmares in lieu of Survivor next time.
At the end of the day, Liz's behavior isn't new, but this is in the moment material. There are people that are worse off than her, both in the show's history & in real life. I'd probably struggle too, but I'd die trying to fight through it. Otherwise, I'd be out of the game. But not only are there people in a worse spot on Planet Earth, they didn't even get a chance to be on television. Heck, they didn't even get 15 seconds on the dame radio!
If Liz is ever on the show again, I think she'd be able to handle things better, but after about a quarter century of Survivor, you have to know that there are other options to be on TV (or not) where you don't have to suffer for not being about to eat or even drink

Is this the worst cast ever? Jeff was practically flashing a neon sign saying “TIFF, PLAY YOUR IDOL!” and she ignored it.
If Jeff had to actually signal for it, then maybe Peachy's NEW ERA ain't great TV

I'm not even sad anymore. Maybe more irate. Not at the vote, but c'mon man!
Instead of realizing how bad it was to just sit there after the very last TC...
If anything...to add insult to injury, she'll forgo blaming herself, and THANKS to her blunder, it'll cost someone money!

I'm sorry to tell you: I have NO sympathy for Tiffany.

Wait a minute. Kenzie had those cutesie dots on her outer eye? How far are they taking the makeup and wardrobe? That’s ridiculous.
I think they've been doing the makeup thing for sometime. Maybe since 2006

Tango64: Everybody's talking about the episode in chat. I think your questions were answered/addressed in there

You know this episode is all over the place if Venus ends up losing, to where I'd actually not be happy. Not mad or sad, but just meh.
-
If Tiffany exits, I'll be okay if it turns out that she passed it off to Kenzie (for a nice upcoming blindside) or someone, tried to make a move in case she's not the target, but it didn't work

It would be too hilarious if a second person leaves the game with an idol in their pocket.
I think it's the third
Second consecutive. Sorta like Season 16. And that year someone actually played an idol before the back-to-back. The thing with that was that Survivor has a decent enough budget to made a HII look like a HII

There's been so much focus on her and Q that I feel like they are too obvious. But Venus seems like the only other option, and her name has barely come out. I just don't see how they'd consider her a threat, though. She has no allies and isn't very physical in the challenges so she's fodder to get out later on.
100%. One could say that Liz has been the focus of the episode, and not in a good way. From there, they may have forgot that Venus was still in it

I'd say bye to Tiffany, but given the history of "dumb" players, I shouldn't not have to.

In a perfect world, the director's cut of this season would have Liz getting kicked out for Bruce. That is not a popular decision, but I said Liz, and not Kenzie
SNL in the Media
in Saturday Night Live
I think it's a combination of that & preference. I don't recall a strike in the latter part of the 90s; Lorne might've preferred to have well-known people host around that time.
To be specific 35% of the hosts in Season 22 were previous cast members; five consecutive shows featured former repertory players. Probably not a common occurrence, and until proven otherwise, probably something that will not happen again.
On the other hand, the 50th annual season would be the best opportunity for a repeat of it. Nonetheless, it's nice to see former players return to host. Especially when it gets to the point where one loses track upon their fifth time hosting
