I get that older Survivor seasons aren’t for everyone, but damn that Pearl Islands premiere is one of the greatest episodes in Survivor history. If you can’t get past that I can’t comprehend how you like any Survivor season.
The pearl islands premiere is heavy handed, sure the marooning and the bartering segment are entertaining but they're also awkward to watch and especially as a modern viewer the whole bartering thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Your take on Jefra is really interesting - I recommend you watch her Ponderosa video bc it shows a pretty different side of her. :) And edit - welcome to Survivor! I hope you enjoy more of it.
I agree with many of your takes on the Cagayan cast, but you almost lost me on your PI take! That for me is one of the best premieres in Survivor history (granted, the two-part Cagayan premiere is up there too)
Haha I didn't know that would be such a heated point in this thread. I love the Cagayan premiere because it got right into it, and didn't waste time. The PI intro felt like an entire episode of filler by comparison. But now that I know that I like survivor i'll probably have enough patience to go back and give it another shot.

Sorry, I just didn't find people trying to barter their clothes for food super engaging.
I think Pearl Islands is a bit too old school for new fans to watch IMO. The quality is poor and the strategy can come off as boring at first.

You are right, Tony deserved the win. How can you not vote for somebody that can speak llama?

One of my all time favorite seasons! Welcome & so glad you chose Cagayan to watch!
