I don’t ever watch Survivor, but was happy to see AR back to the format of using ’regular’ people and not celebrities as participants. I think the reason it seems to drag for the first coiple of episodes is the continual introduction of the contestants. they seem more focused on you knowing their backgrounds than what is happening.

It's foolish to vote out Sifu. They're already much weaker than the other two teams. They need him or they'll be going to tribal council until the next merge. I'm glad Sean is gone. What a fake person, telling the new tribe how loyal he is right after he tried to vote out Kaleb. I like the new 90 minute format. Before, it was the reward challenge, a few minutes for camp scenes, the immunity challenge, and tribal council. It wasn't enough time to see their game strategies with their tribe members, which is a lot more interesting than the same old same old puzzle challenges.

I've missed TAR first episodes because of Truman Capote and the Swans on FX at 10pm. I think TAR was airing beginning at 9:30pm. The FX show is over for now, so I can watch the other. How many teams are left?

I like Sai. She has played well so far. I am not against someone who speaks their mind when things need to be said. I'm watching this season on Paramount+ so I can skip the commercials. I didn't watch last week's episode until yesterday. I teared up with the rest of them.
