Fixed that for you LOL

I'll admit that it took me a few seasons to come around, but this New Era? Whoaaaaa. The incredible gameplay, all the strategy, the tension over who would be voted out? Dang. My muscles were sore by the end from clenching in anticipation. And the challenge? Unbelievable. I mean, who comes up with these things? Players had to climb up and over OBSTACLES (and there were no stairs or ladders, BTW) and jump in the deep, deep ocean (with shoes on, no less), swim over, then walk across a tiny, tiny beam of wood, slick with water, then untie 3,749 knots to retrieve a key. But wait, that's not all. Then they had to swim over the deep ocean AGAIN and somehow get themselves up onto a big wooden platform. But then imagine how the players must have been crushed to find out they weren't done yet. They opened a bag to find out they had to SOLVE A PUZZLE. There must have been over 500 pieces in each one. And the pieces were all different! Frankly, I just about pooped my pants from stress by this point as I watched each team struggle. But finally we had a winner. I was exhausted, as I know each of the brilliant, competitive players were. In the end, my mind boggles with thinking about the production folks who could design such a unique, intricate challenge. I don't know that they'll ever be able to top this one, but even if they can't, it will go down in the annals of reality show complexity. An Emmy would not be too much reward for these brilliant producers. As for me, I will be trembling with excitement over what unique, nerve-wracking, never-seen-before challenge they've come up with next episode. Bring on The New Era!!

Ahh, ok. Kinda makes sense. Although his pants must be getting really funky by now. Or maybe he closed the office door if he changed those.

I'm probably missing something obvious but what was the point of Voight changing shirts all the time? (Other than showing off the Beghe's bod, of course.) I'm guessing it had something to due with the trauma but I can't remember that far back to the last season's finale.

A potential catastrophe looms when a near-fatal dish is served. Interior challenges come to a head as Aesha's team remains in disarray. After the storm, the crew manages to fix the leak in the uninhabitable cabin. Airs 8.26.24

Well, I mean they can't just leave all that thrilling footage of Sandflea's engagement just lying around, right?

Well, at least I won't have to call the show Upton PD any more.

I had to laugh out loud when Dr Marcel glanced at the abused girl's cleavage and thought to use breast implants to stabilize that heart during surgery.

It's because the sun reflects off white sand beaches like the ones in Grenada and you don't really feel how much sun you're getting. It's happened to me several times in the Grenadines. The darker teak decks on the yachts don't have the same effect. Of course, the smart thing to do is to always apply plenty of sunscreen before you go outside in the Caribbean.

Late to the party but, I mean, why don't they just rename this show Upton PD ?

The hits just keep on coming for Chance. Perhaps he should change his name to NoChance. Oh well, third time's a charm. https://starcasm.net/life-after-lockup-chance-pitt-arrested-felony-auto-theft/

An entire episode without a puzzle or obstacle course? See, Probst? Survivor can still be interesting without the cliche challenges of the “new era”.

I've now finished both seasons and one thing bugs the crap out of me. It's a small thing and I haven't read this entire thread to see if it's been answered, but - What the hell is the correct pronunciation? I've heard: Mur-dah Mur-daw Mur-dock Also heard Alex and Alec I think I heard Alex himself say Mur-dah while testifying but the sound wan't great on my TV and neither is my hearing. But I was surprised to hear so many variations from people who actually live in that area.

With Asonta's death mere days before the season premiere I guess there wasn't a whole lot of editing they could do to minimize his screen time. Unfortunately, now every time he does something asshole-ish (and that looks to be often) I'll be calling him out under my breath while at the same time going, "but he's dead." Not that it excuses him at all but I'll feel a little guilty. Just a little. What's the deal with 23-year old Britney driving a late-model E-Class Mercedes while working as a server (or something similar - can't remember)? As far as I can tell Kerok is not a Native American with a large monthly stipend like Chris in the last season. And her parents have disowned her so she ain't getting money from them. Weird. Also weird is that it's apparently a requirement now for females dating an inmate to have long, elaborate nails with neon colors to flash at every opportunity. Although I guess it does help to pull your long hair/wig away from your face every 3.2 seconds.

I was wondering how they would deal with Asonta's death. I had been spoiled not long after it happened so was curious. Looks like they're going to go ahead and feature him as scheduled in LAL. Which is... weird.
