Excited for Survivor Season 45 Episode 1? If Survivor is going to run for 90 minutes in season 45, it needs to give us more of that, of the drama of existing with a group of strangers and the experience of trying to connect and sever those ties, and less of forcing the players to lose their votes or their voice, and less reading paper to explain new advantages. I trust Jeff will find new ways to spice the game up, but let the people come first.
I’ve been saying this for years with Big Brother, but if you build the twist around the social part of the game, it’s going be more suspenseful and unpredictable than if you throw in a fifth extra vote or a third fake idol or the knowledge is power for the fourth time.
Despite the fact that I have some pretty serious criticisms for season 44, I will say that it might be, at the outset, my favorite season of the new era of the past Four Seasons, in spite of its flaws. Because even though I love the game and I study it a lot, I talk about it all the time. It’s the cast and this story that won me over and had me enjoying the show for much of its runtime.
Survivor Season 44 Review
Before diving into Survivor Season 45 Episode 1, let’s quickly review the previous season. As I said, it’s that cast that made me watch this show again and again.
It’s not Heidi standing up to play a random steal-a-vote. It’s not about random advantages getting played at random times. Or people being forced to lose their voters earn the merge. It’s about none of that, and it’s about the people. The sad but inspirational stories didn’t feel as in my face. They felt a little bit more natural this time around.
But I will also still be honest: I could do without them. I don’t really need to feel sad watching the show. I keep calling this era the Inspiration era because I feel like that’s what they’re hitting us over the head with.
What isn’t on the nose is Matthew falling off a rock because he’s playing way too fast, too furious, hunting for crabs, I think. Matthew, what did you think was going to happen when you climbed that? But he was situated well to be my preseason winner Pick. And damn it, Matt, could you just, like, not take it a little easier? I’ll see you for a second chance, too.
It’s these moments of unscripted reality that I love, and I think make Survivor some of the best TV out there for 23 years. Wrapped in the pretense of a game, but not focusing on the game, but instead, the people playing it, not getting played by it. A lot more happened in previous episodes, but now let’s discuss when Episode 1 of Survivor Season 45 will be released and what will happen in it.
