My early thoughts. The ex olympian is either throwing challenges or she must have really used some good steroids when she was in the Olympics, I expected her to be a much stronger competitor?
I guess Michelle was just too negative but frankly I agreed with her the whole we gave it our best effort keep your head up stuff was crap, they were awful and someone needed to say it.
I agree on the bad decisions. When they made the fishing hook I wanted to scream at them. first they start fishing off the bank when there's a boat right there(which they said they did use so they must have done it later). Then they caught "sardines", unless I'm mistaken they were fishing in a lake so those weren't sardines. And what they caught is "bait" not food, you're supposed to take one of those "sardines", hook it through the mouth, go out in the lake in the boat, and exchange the "sardine" for one of the bigger fish like the other team was catching.
It's the whole idea of nature if there are little bait fish like that you just know there's something bigger out there that eats those little fish.
To be fair they were clever enough to make their own fishing gear I give them credit for that.
I also thought it was interesting how both teams chose to cannibalize the partial shelters to make one working shelter instead of trying to repair several of them ? I guess that was the easy way take advantage of what's already there but it seems like maybe having multiple shelters could be handy and come in useful. Or just take the existing ones and combine them into one big one.
It continues to amaze how every season people show up in a suit and tie or a dress when they know they're going on survivor and the odds are at any minute the game is going to start and they're going to be in the clothes they have for the next 39 days.
That one guy got back from exile island and put his shirt and tie back on for the tribal council, that seemed a bit weird to me.
Good first show though looks like it could be another good season.
