Survivor 42 Premiere: One Sentence Reactions Episode 1

I am back for another season of Survivor coverage, and I am going to change things up once again. While I loved giving players medals during my Survivor 41 articles, I’ve decided against that for two reasons.

1. These last Winter Olympics kind of tainted the fun of medals.
2. It was essentially the Walmart brand version of Shannon Guss’s Chissy points.

Instead, I will react to every player, twist, challenge, and even our old friend Jeff Probst’s shenanigans this episode only with one sentence each. There’s a lot of Survivor content out there that’ll give you essays of analysis, so hopefully this is a nice change of pace you can look forward to each week.

Challenges

Opening Reward Challenge (Jungle Relay)

Was the fake blood really necessary (both to production and my winner pick, Hai)?

Day 3 Immunity Challenge (Draggin’ the Dragon)

Jackson’s unexpected exit meant a challenge meant for six players produced extra strain for the five on each tribe that participated.

Twists

Amulets

What could’ve easily bonded Drea, Hai, and Lindsey comes with a devastating twist that turns a potential alliance into a built in rivalry and I am here for it!
