Another Enjoyable Season
I am a Survivor addict, having watched since episode one twenty-five and a half years ago. (Hard to believe it’s been that long.) I always look forward to each new season, and season 49 was no exception.
As most seasons do these days, this season started out with 18 fresh contestants divided onto three tribes for a 26-day game to see who can outwit, outplay, and outlast the others. Along the way there will be challenges for rewards and immunity from being voted out at tribal council.
This season included some drama early on that was tense for me at home; I can only imagine how it was for those playing the game. But it made me very impressed with the crew behind the scenes that we rarely see.
Usually, when the tribes merge in the second half of the game is my favorite part. This season, it wasn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed watching it. But it was fairly easy to see what was going to happen from week to week. It didn’t help that some of my favorite players were getting voted out as a result. But I was happy with the winners.
The season ultimately lives or dies on the people. Even in the second half, I was enjoying the people playing the game, even when they were voting my favorites out.
It’s easy at this point for the seasons to blend into each other. Outside of a very memorable moment early on, I think season 49 of Survivor will be one of those that fades over time. But, it will still be fun for fans to watch.
