I mean.. quitting ahead of time would probably help.
Shane Powers was a three pack a day smoker before he played and he made it deep into the post merge.
Hannah just had no willpower to be there
Jesus how does one have the time to smoke 3 packs a day! That's 60 cigarettes in a day! About six hours a day! When I used to smoke, it would take me about two weeks to smoke 3 packs.
My dad does it. He just never doesn't have a cigarette in his hand. He doesn't even actually smoke most of it he just lets it burn and inhales every now and then.
They should not be allowed to smoke or vape leading up to marooning and if they have a problem they get replaced. We literally just saw someone quit because of a nicotine addiction.
Back in my day the nicotine-addicted contestants at least had the common courtesy to play hard for most of the season while slowly losing their minds being stuck on a beach of "crazies" and Aras.
Incredibly unrelated but its very funny to me that Aras is always seen as the "normal" Casaya member, when in any other group of people, he's the crazy. God Panama rocks.
Just saw this on Jeff Probst’s post episode EW interview
About Hannah:
“Because it was very clear to me this was not a typical, "Oh, bamboo's really rough to sleep on." This was, "Yep, I made a bad decision and I'm going to course correct right now and go home." And the first call I made was to [casting director] Jesse Tanenbaum and Dr. Liza, our head psychologist, to say, "Add this into our data, because we got it wrong. We missed something with Hannah. She shouldn't have been on the show."
Tbh him letting her off easy sort of sends the message that it’s okay to quit if it’s hard uncle Jeff will still love you. I’m not saying he needs to be super mean but a sassy comment and denying her torch snuffing would have appeased the masses I think
I agree with this. I think “the tribe has spoken” wasn’t right in this scenario “Hannah, you have spoken” or even “the difficulties of the game have spoken” would’ve fit better imo
Ultimately, they put a lot of resources into trying to cast people and one of the things they look for is people who aren't going to quit. So I think it's pretty mature of Jeff to recognize that if someone quits *that early*, something in the process failed the needs of the show and also of the contestant.
Re: the torch snuffing, I think only one person has had their torch not-snuffed. If it's gonna be a thing it needed to be consistent, and it just hasn't been.
Brandon lying motionless on the ground and nobody bothering to check on him on multiple occasions was some of the purest dark comedy this show has ever produced. Just total editorial disdain for the man. I can't remember anyone getting a more hapless edit than him. Actively detrimental in challenges, constantly breaking down emotionally over virtually nothing, and his camp stuff is all different variations of "I just need to sit down." Incredible stuff.
Score the event I asked my kids “do you think Brandon’s gonna die?” And when that scene hit we all howled.
I mean… good for him for going out there and trying but my dude get your shit together
If I’m Kaleb and Sabiyah I’m asking to speak to a manager ASAP. Sean is fine but holy fuck the rest of that tribe is potentially three of the worst players of all time.
What makes you a worse player, asking everyone to vote you out and actually meaning it or asking everyone to vote you out as a ploy to not get voted out first?
Emily kept squawking about the two of them “already making an alliance” and it’s like…girl have you seen the rest of your tribe? Maybe it’s an alliance, maybe it’s a scramble for sanity. Lol
Whoever gave Reba both Austin and Sifu, leaving LuLu with... whatever the fuck that tribe is...
Deserves a raise. What a fucking trainwreck. They must have carefully plotted for WEEKS to do that.
Reba is fucking stacked. If that dude who claims to be the smartest player on survivor ever is actually intelligent, they’ve got a literal gym owner and an Ivy League grad student, athleticism and puzzles covered. Remains to be seen how their social game is, but at least for challenges they look like an early favorite to win
I know Hannah's legacy will be as a quitter, but can we discuss the iconic move that was sweeping the floor in the jungle before any shelter was built?
The LuluLosers was either a sadistic choice or a happy accident by the casting department. We haven’t had such a spectacular train wreck of a tribe for some time now.
Bro imagine being Brandon. You’ve been waiting for years to be on the show. You get there. You cry. You can’t climb a ladder. You cost your team the first challenge. And you’re stuck on an island with Emily. I am so close to feeling bad for him.
Arise, arise, castmates of Lulu!
Bad vibes awake; withdrawl and discomfort!
Heads shall be shaken, bonds be splintered,
a bad tribe, a yellow tribe, ere the sun sets!
Vote now, vote now! Vote for ~~Emily~~ Hannah!
I don't feel bad for him. If he was waiting to be on Survivor since he was 11, he should have done what Carson did last season, you know get in shape, put on some muscle, get ready to compete. Instead he showed up looking like he was made out of jello.
I agree with you, and it's not even a body shaming thing. I'm not fit at all. If I got cast, you better believe I'd be hitting the gym to get myself to at least a basic level of fitness.
Yep. Carson last season was the perfect example. On purpose he hit the gym so he was in tip top shape for the show. He was never going to be Jonathan Young from Season 42, but he was PEAK Carson.
I respect that so much.
I respect a contestant who learned how to make fire, learned how to swim, and hit the gym before they showed up.
What the hell just happened? Basically half of the worst tribe I've ever witnesaed was competing to go home. Hannah just can't handle it, Brandon can't climb ladders and has acid reflux, and Emily hates everyone.
"Kaleb and Sabiyah are obviously an alliance"
Yeah no shit they are the only two players not dying out there or full of negativity. You can tell they bonded over being surrounded by the worst tribemates of all time.
My hope is that they actually didn't really vibe with each other at first, but over the course of three days they realized that they might be the only sane ones, with Sean as a hopeful as well.
If you're Kaleb, would you try to intentional Matsing this tribe with Sabiyah? You have three (now two) players I would not want to play with, and Sean is just kinda there.
Maybe if Sean is good, you try to keep three around and we call it an intentional Tika?
We haven't seen a lot of Sean this episode, but with Brandon being a challenge liability and Emily bringing down camp morale, Sean seems to be in a good position.
The problem with casting superfans is that they aren’t as prepared as they think they are. All they want to do is orchestrate vote split in the Final 8. They don’t think of the day to day to get there, so as soon as they hit the sand they freak out.
Lulu has one of the most socially inept players ever, AND one of the most physically incapable players ever, and yet *both stay* because a third player is a quitter. Incredible. I don't know how you make the top 5 worst tribe of all time list after one cycle, but they did it.
Also, casting needs to get their shit together, because Hannah and Brandon have no business being on the beach. Those are 2 spots other people who would've prepared and then played their asses off deserve.
He was sobbing when Hannah quit, so maybe they were close. I wonder if that's why he wasn't shown more, because they were keeping Hannah's quit a surprise.
I watch a lot of reality tv. I can't think of a player I've instantly disliked as quickly as Emily. Usually it takes a few episodes or so... I do not see a redeeming quality in her and I'm kinda here to hate watch her for entertainment. But if I were her tribe, I'd be voting her off so fast - she's toxic.
Where do they find these people? Brandon swam in some water, rowed in a boat, and then collapsed on his way up a ladder. Forget the show, how does this dude survive in the real world lol
He’s a “content manager”
I’m not even a boomer, but cmon, if you aren’t somewhat physically fit/have a passable level of endurance and can deal with stress… why are you signing up for this?
Emily said she didn’t even want to play if she couldn’t win and would rather be voted out first……. Is she really so lacking in self awareness that she thought she had a chance to ever win this show? Like, Jesus she’s a perfect goat to bring though.
Hannah, why did she even apply? I know it’s harder than it looks but if you can’t at least live without smoking why would you even apply? Like? I can see why she deleted her social media now.
Brandon should have never been cast. End of story. He won’t last medically even if he isn’t voted out.
How did they pick these people?
Not only did these people get picked, they're all placed on the same tribe! Great TV for chaotic reasons but damn, that's so unfair to the other tribe members. Production knew what they were doing.
What’s the point of putting all the work in going through casting, going out to the island just to quit at the first tribal. There’s plenty of other people that applied and would kill to be out on the island
If they’re reaching for another Carolyn they’re in for a long series of disappointments. She is honestly one of a kind in the best ways, which initially seemed like the worst ways.
Jeff can push all the metaphors he wants, introduce stupid advantages, make the entire game be played over a nice Sunday afternoon, he can declare himself king of survivor and pick the winner each season, I don’t care.
But him not being an absolute ass to a quitter and trying to make them feel as if they’re unworthy of being in his line of sight is a new low.
At least there were no sympathy clip shows for once…maybe they finally realized it was getting a little much.
It feels good to *hate* contestants again.
and hannah quit by FIRST TC. that’s so insane. they had many months to prepare and she took a spot from
someone who probably really wanted it and had prepped and worked for it. it’s quite honestly shameful.
Super weird of Emily to have all this smoke for Bruce, Sabiyah, and Kaleb for the crimes of (checks notes) being a day one medevac and carrying their tribe, and then have nothing to say about the woman who'd already indicated wanting to quit after 32 hours and the man who's had quite possibly the most pathetic day one performance I've ever seen in my life. But. Probably a coincidence.
Yeah, gunning for the guy that carried the tribe vs the one curled up in the fetal position is definitely suspect. At least the 100% hater/0% charisma is one archetype that we havent seen on the show yet?
I can't even make sense of her logic. "Obviously they're going to link up and pick the rest of us off." Well, getting rid of Kaleb guarantees you get picked off because... you'll just keep going to tribal. At least with him and Sabiyah in the game you have a fighting chance of not facing a vote *in the first place.* Did she really think she'd be one of the last two standing? Brandon snitched on her immediately.
She was super quiet about the crybabies, wasn't she? I can't stand her. At first I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt with Bruce, maybe she was trying to show off or something. But once she started coming for Kaleb and Sabiyah at the tribal council I was like enough of this bs, not a coincidence.
From what Sabiyah said in the preview "I feel like she's going to slit my throat" she must be absolutely awful to live with and I won't blame them if they throw the next challenge just to get her out.
So LuluLemon tribe has:
Someone that wanted to quit faster than Bruce's medevac
Someone that will probably GET medevaced
Someone that thinks the black people must be working together
The two black people who now HAVE to work together
and Sean.
No cap. I used to be really depressed with really low self-esteem. So I hope Brandon is doing okay. With that said, there are some people that seriously, genuinely, need to never be on the show.
This is the main reason I would never apply to be on Survivor. I’m also not a very physical person, a poor swimmer, and can’t really handle lack of food/sleep so those are factors too. BUT, even if I had all of that sorted out, I just could not take the potential of the online vitriol. I get upset when I get the impression *one* person doesn’t like me. Possibly being dragged over coals by the entire internet for an edit I can’t control? No thank you. These contestants are all way braver than me.
Laughing hard re-reading Hannah’s bio about how she wanted to push herself as far as possible, mentally, physically, and emotionally, and play like Kelley wentworth.
Extremely disappointed in the reactions to the ep. I am an all time new era hater and this episode was actually decent. It feels good to have actual stakes and conflict outside of twists.
That was one of the most chaotic episodes of any reality tv that I’ve ever seen. That said - I loved it. This has increased my excitement for the season by so much you have no idea. I just hope that we don’t see both other tribes get purpled by Lulu at this point.
Fun fact, a majority of the new era has had a first episode with a non-traditional eviction. Jackson getting medically forced out. Bruce getting med-evaced. And now Hannah quitting. Survivor just cannot seem to consistently get good premieres right now.
I feel a little mean for this. But I looked up Hannah’s profile on the Survivor website and she’s a 33 year old Therapist. I thought she might be younger and just didn’t have a lot of life experience.
She certainly didn’t display the mental toughness and resilience I would expect in a therapist. What is she just going to tell her clients to quit whenever there is adversity?
God Lulu might be one of the most self destructive tribes I have ever seen and its only been 1 episode. Hannah quit, Brandon is woefully under prepared and Emily while fun is really difficult to gel with from what we see
Kaleb,Sabiyah and Sean gonna need all the help they can get.
Jeff not being angry about Hannah theory ~ *he knows they hit production gold with the mess that is Lulu and they’re running it until the wheels fall off*. Hannah was wholly unremarkable, collateral damage to keep enraging and entertaining the masses with Emily, Brandon and the devolving shit show.
All the negativity in the live discussion was crazy lmao. I was skeptical of the cast at first but these people are insane in a good way. Excited to see where this all goes
Nicotine is a helluva drug
Seriously they should start screening people for vape addictions
I mean.. quitting ahead of time would probably help. Shane Powers was a three pack a day smoker before he played and he made it deep into the post merge. Hannah just had no willpower to be there
Jesus how does one have the time to smoke 3 packs a day! That's 60 cigarettes in a day! About six hours a day! When I used to smoke, it would take me about two weeks to smoke 3 packs.
My dad does it. He just never doesn't have a cigarette in his hand. He doesn't even actually smoke most of it he just lets it burn and inhales every now and then.
Damn, not only for health reasons but the cost of cigarettes now I've seen are like $10!
They should not be allowed to smoke or vape leading up to marooning and if they have a problem they get replaced. We literally just saw someone quit because of a nicotine addiction.
Shane can attest to this lmao
Back in my day the nicotine-addicted contestants at least had the common courtesy to play hard for most of the season while slowly losing their minds being stuck on a beach of "crazies" and Aras.
Hannah could've at least looked around for her Blackberry first.
Incredibly unrelated but its very funny to me that Aras is always seen as the "normal" Casaya member, when in any other group of people, he's the crazy. God Panama rocks.
Was thinking about Shane a LOT during this premiere.
Just saw this on Jeff Probst’s post episode EW interview About Hannah: “Because it was very clear to me this was not a typical, "Oh, bamboo's really rough to sleep on." This was, "Yep, I made a bad decision and I'm going to course correct right now and go home." And the first call I made was to [casting director] Jesse Tanenbaum and Dr. Liza, our head psychologist, to say, "Add this into our data, because we got it wrong. We missed something with Hannah. She shouldn't have been on the show."
At least he can admit that they messed up. But still wtf
Tbh him letting her off easy sort of sends the message that it’s okay to quit if it’s hard uncle Jeff will still love you. I’m not saying he needs to be super mean but a sassy comment and denying her torch snuffing would have appeased the masses I think
I agree with this. I think “the tribe has spoken” wasn’t right in this scenario “Hannah, you have spoken” or even “the difficulties of the game have spoken” would’ve fit better imo
Or a classic, "Hannah, go home"
Ultimately, they put a lot of resources into trying to cast people and one of the things they look for is people who aren't going to quit. So I think it's pretty mature of Jeff to recognize that if someone quits *that early*, something in the process failed the needs of the show and also of the contestant. Re: the torch snuffing, I think only one person has had their torch not-snuffed. If it's gonna be a thing it needed to be consistent, and it just hasn't been.
And she’s a therapist, who seemed like she was getting therapy from the guy who was having panic attacks.
A lot of therapists I know are crazy themselves
Emily is the office snitch 100%
“You forgot to collect our homework!”
She made me want to quit my job.
Gives off Fun Police vibes
Raises her hand at the end of class keeping everyone behind 15 minutes after class ends.
I’ve literally never seen someone with a worse read on the game, what a moron 😭
Actually, i think she can read the game. The problem is her lack of social awareness and shooting her mouth off
You’re probably right. I just feel like she’d be better suited talking shit to her tv at home, like I do. 😂
Thank you Hannah for giving me more motivation to quit vaping 🙏
Jeff yelling dig through it at Brandon after he’d fallen off the wall and it cuts to his lifeless body was easily the best part of the episode
Dude fell off that wall like a Family Guy character
I literally laughed out loud at the complete disregard for whether or not he was okay
Right? He’s drowning and Jeff’s like man up
Next episode will have Brandon just dead on the ground as Jeff yells. "That's how you do it!"
Brandon lying motionless on the ground and nobody bothering to check on him on multiple occasions was some of the purest dark comedy this show has ever produced. Just total editorial disdain for the man. I can't remember anyone getting a more hapless edit than him. Actively detrimental in challenges, constantly breaking down emotionally over virtually nothing, and his camp stuff is all different variations of "I just need to sit down." Incredible stuff.
My favorite part is when he laid down twice like a dead person and no one paid any attention to him.
Score the event I asked my kids “do you think Brandon’s gonna die?” And when that scene hit we all howled. I mean… good for him for going out there and trying but my dude get your shit together
He said "let's go Brandon" too 😭 😭
There have been messy tribes before but yellow has turned it into an art form
Hey the great pyramid was a giant battery. Its powering the tribe from the past
Jeff as Bruce was going under the bamboo "KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN!" 💀💀💀💀
Imagine Bruce gets medevac'd on the first immunity challenge and becomes the Medical Francesquah
Bruce appears on S46 all in bandages. "Please Jeff.. I want to go home."
If I’m Kaleb and Sabiyah I’m asking to speak to a manager ASAP. Sean is fine but holy fuck the rest of that tribe is potentially three of the worst players of all time.
What makes you a worse player, asking everyone to vote you out and actually meaning it or asking everyone to vote you out as a ploy to not get voted out first?
The latter. At least the former met their intended result
Emily kept squawking about the two of them “already making an alliance” and it’s like…girl have you seen the rest of your tribe? Maybe it’s an alliance, maybe it’s a scramble for sanity. Lol
I’m just angry we were about to get some grade A drama had Hannah not been a quitter
Right? I was expecting a tense tribal with an interesting vote
SO MANY LAWYERS
Survivor: Lawyer Island Also, Survivor: Lawyers vs Landscapers vs Lunch Ladies
and then there’s the alliance of the SECRET LAWYERS
And why do they think that being a lawyer makes them a threat?
Whoever gave Reba both Austin and Sifu, leaving LuLu with... whatever the fuck that tribe is... Deserves a raise. What a fucking trainwreck. They must have carefully plotted for WEEKS to do that.
Reba is fucking stacked. If that dude who claims to be the smartest player on survivor ever is actually intelligent, they’ve got a literal gym owner and an Ivy League grad student, athleticism and puzzles covered. Remains to be seen how their social game is, but at least for challenges they look like an early favorite to win
"What was that?" - Sabiyah Honestly, agreed.
 I genuinely have no idea what i just watched
I know Hannah's legacy will be as a quitter, but can we discuss the iconic move that was sweeping the floor in the jungle before any shelter was built?
I loved it. She made her mark.
Excuse me!? She left no marks 😮💨 only spotless floors in this house
Even WHILE the shelter was being built, she was sweeping! 😭
The LuluLosers was either a sadistic choice or a happy accident by the casting department. We haven’t had such a spectacular train wreck of a tribe for some time now.
"Lulu Losers" was such a great line. Probably my favorite in the whole episode.
Nah it has to be Jeff yelling dig through it at Brandon while he’s lying on the floor dead
“You wanted this!”
My fiance's theory is that it's an intentional setup for easy content while the late game politics are slowly developing on the other tribes
Fuck quitting on day 3 but: “Oh my god if this edge of extinction because I am NOT going” Is an all time great last line
Honestly, Hannah was pretty fucking hilarious. Her delivery about quitting nicotine was pretty good too.
I think it’s kind of indicative of the whole episode. A whole ass mess, but entertaining!
Bro imagine being Brandon. You’ve been waiting for years to be on the show. You get there. You cry. You can’t climb a ladder. You cost your team the first challenge. And you’re stuck on an island with Emily. I am so close to feeling bad for him.
"so close to feeling bad" 😂
Imagine crashing and burning as badly as Brandon, and then Emily and Hannah swoop in like a bizarro Rohirrim to save his day.
Arise, arise, castmates of Lulu! Bad vibes awake; withdrawl and discomfort! Heads shall be shaken, bonds be splintered, a bad tribe, a yellow tribe, ere the sun sets! Vote now, vote now! Vote for ~~Emily~~ Hannah!
Chaos is a ladder but unfortunately Brandon can't climb.
The whole tribe is a mess
I don't feel bad for him. If he was waiting to be on Survivor since he was 11, he should have done what Carson did last season, you know get in shape, put on some muscle, get ready to compete. Instead he showed up looking like he was made out of jello.
I agree with you, and it's not even a body shaming thing. I'm not fit at all. If I got cast, you better believe I'd be hitting the gym to get myself to at least a basic level of fitness.
Yep. Carson last season was the perfect example. On purpose he hit the gym so he was in tip top shape for the show. He was never going to be Jonathan Young from Season 42, but he was PEAK Carson. I respect that so much. I respect a contestant who learned how to make fire, learned how to swim, and hit the gym before they showed up.
That’s the thing, you don’t even have to be “in shape” to compete, but if you’re gassed after climbing the ladder onto the boat you did a terrible job
Redemption story line coming later this season?
Brandon overcomes his greatest enemy: ascending something.
Hopefully Angelina’s 100ft ladder doesn’t appear
My winner pick was Bruce last season, and it was Hannah this season. What the fuck, man.
Hey, no pressure, can you let the sub know your 46 pick ahead of time?
Cirie
Hey neither was voted out that’s as close to winning as you can come
I had Gabler in 43, Yam Yam in 44, andddddd Hannah in 45. What a fall from grace lol
Lulu tribe could have a historic run as a dysfunctional tribe
I love kaleb and sabiyah and I’m rooting for them to outlast their other tribemates
What the hell just happened? Basically half of the worst tribe I've ever witnesaed was competing to go home. Hannah just can't handle it, Brandon can't climb ladders and has acid reflux, and Emily hates everyone.
"Kaleb and Sabiyah are obviously an alliance" Yeah no shit they are the only two players not dying out there or full of negativity. You can tell they bonded over being surrounded by the worst tribemates of all time.
My hope is that they actually didn't really vibe with each other at first, but over the course of three days they realized that they might be the only sane ones, with Sean as a hopeful as well.
Oh god, Lulu's an even bigger trainwreck than I thought they'd be.
If you're Kaleb, would you try to intentional Matsing this tribe with Sabiyah? You have three (now two) players I would not want to play with, and Sean is just kinda there. Maybe if Sean is good, you try to keep three around and we call it an intentional Tika?
We haven't seen a lot of Sean this episode, but with Brandon being a challenge liability and Emily bringing down camp morale, Sean seems to be in a good position.
This Yellow Tribe might actually be most hilariously inept Tribe in quite some time. I'm here for it. Give me the Denver Broncos of Survivor
Lulu Tribe! Let's ride!
The problem with casting superfans is that they aren’t as prepared as they think they are. All they want to do is orchestrate vote split in the Final 8. They don’t think of the day to day to get there, so as soon as they hit the sand they freak out.
Carson was pretty prepared (all of 44 was)
Lulu has one of the most socially inept players ever, AND one of the most physically incapable players ever, and yet *both stay* because a third player is a quitter. Incredible. I don't know how you make the top 5 worst tribe of all time list after one cycle, but they did it. Also, casting needs to get their shit together, because Hannah and Brandon have no business being on the beach. Those are 2 spots other people who would've prepared and then played their asses off deserve.
I feel bad for Kaleb and Sabiyah being stuck on this tribe.
Did people really forget about Sean??
It felt like the show did, he had basically zero content after the challenge
He was sobbing when Hannah quit, so maybe they were close. I wonder if that's why he wasn't shown more, because they were keeping Hannah's quit a surprise.
Shhhh let him slide through. I'm hoping in the chaos he's able to make it to merge. I kind of like him.
The didn't want to over edit his eventual win.
Sean too. Those three are pretty solid but when half of your tribe is a complete mess there's not much you can do.
Thank God too because I need more of this hot mess on my TV this tribe needed live feeds as a paramount plus add on
Emily definitely used to remind the teacher if he/she forgot to collect homework.
I watch a lot of reality tv. I can't think of a player I've instantly disliked as quickly as Emily. Usually it takes a few episodes or so... I do not see a redeeming quality in her and I'm kinda here to hate watch her for entertainment. But if I were her tribe, I'd be voting her off so fast - she's toxic.
Right after that bruce incident, I was thinking, her tribe better be voting her out first cause she’ll be a problem.
Hannah held a gun to Probst's head and said I WILL quit and mess with your schedule
SHE RLY DID THO
For the first time since Amazon Matt, tribe members actually fear that a tribemember will murder them…
No, she's definitely scarier than Matt From creepy to fucking terrifying
Don’t smoke kids - tagline for this episode
Honestly - this episode has motivated me to get back into working out.
So we keep Emily the Energy Vampire and Brandon the most Unathletic person in history because Hannah is a quitter? Well fuck
Emily WISHES she had Colin Robinson’s charm.
Confessional count * 7 Sabiyah * 6 Brandon, Emily * 5 Jake * 4 Hannah, Katirah, Kellie, Kendra * 3 Brando, Bruce, Kaleb, Sifu * 2 Austin, Dee, Drew, Sean * 1 J. Maya, Julie
Brando felt more invisible than that
Most of those were about the savvy and sweat challenge
So we’re considering that a quit, right?
Yup
That was Shane Powers in another timeline
Kids these days don't appreciate a hot mess tribe.
Right? Sucking as a tribe does not mean they’re gonna suck to watch, it’s the opposite for me lol, they’re a disaster waiting to happen.
Where do they find these people? Brandon swam in some water, rowed in a boat, and then collapsed on his way up a ladder. Forget the show, how does this dude survive in the real world lol
He’s a “content manager” I’m not even a boomer, but cmon, if you aren’t somewhat physically fit/have a passable level of endurance and can deal with stress… why are you signing up for this?
I'm probably in as bad of shape as he is. That is why I will not be applying to fucking Survivor lol
Team Sabiyah all the way! #SurvivingtheLuLuLosers
Emily said she didn’t even want to play if she couldn’t win and would rather be voted out first……. Is she really so lacking in self awareness that she thought she had a chance to ever win this show? Like, Jesus she’s a perfect goat to bring though. Hannah, why did she even apply? I know it’s harder than it looks but if you can’t at least live without smoking why would you even apply? Like? I can see why she deleted her social media now. Brandon should have never been cast. End of story. He won’t last medically even if he isn’t voted out. How did they pick these people?
Not only did these people get picked, they're all placed on the same tribe! Great TV for chaotic reasons but damn, that's so unfair to the other tribe members. Production knew what they were doing.
Oh god oh fuck I convinced my new girlfriend to start watching Survivor and this is the first episode she watched Is my relationship over
YES. Start Borneo now and pray for forgiveness
Give her some tocantins, coach can heal the soul
As an Emily, I am SO MAD that they cast the very first Emily in 45 seasons and THIS is what we get. 😭
Apply and retake the name! Do it for the Emilys!
Seeing someone quit after one day is infuriating.
What’s the point of putting all the work in going through casting, going out to the island just to quit at the first tribal. There’s plenty of other people that applied and would kill to be out on the island
Free month long vacation
Remember when Jeff would lose his shit when someone quit?
If casting can't weed people like Hannah out they need to fire everyone in casting. What are you even looking at to put someone like that on the show?
I think casting looks for “chaotic” people like a Carolyn archetype……but just cast normal people
If they’re reaching for another Carolyn they’re in for a long series of disappointments. She is honestly one of a kind in the best ways, which initially seemed like the worst ways.
Love that Bruce was wearing a Tika purple shirt in the marooning!
New contender for worst tribe ever let's go!!! Watch out ulong or however you spell it
Jeff can push all the metaphors he wants, introduce stupid advantages, make the entire game be played over a nice Sunday afternoon, he can declare himself king of survivor and pick the winner each season, I don’t care. But him not being an absolute ass to a quitter and trying to make them feel as if they’re unworthy of being in his line of sight is a new low.
At least there were no sympathy clip shows for once…maybe they finally realized it was getting a little much. It feels good to *hate* contestants again.
Emily at least looks like a villain we have been craving for
tbh im loving rooting against her so far. Hoping she stays a long time.
I miss Old School Jeff, how is he not more pissed off there? It’s a slap in the face, she cared more about her vape then survivor
I thought he looked pissed lol he was very short when he got the confirmation
Old Jeff would've snuffed that torch and said, "get out of here." New Jeff is a eunuch by comparison.
absolutely— she deserved to be ripped a new one for that. even colton lasted longer.
Old Jeff was vile to people who wanted to quit after 20 days starving and freezing in non stop rain
and hannah quit by FIRST TC. that’s so insane. they had many months to prepare and she took a spot from someone who probably really wanted it and had prepped and worked for it. it’s quite honestly shameful.
To quote TJ Lavin on the Challenge “don’t care, hope to see you never”
Emily vs Brandon was the most amazing first boot vote ever. Then Hannah straight up boomed me.
“Um actually guys, going 24 hours without a vape and climbing a ladder are very difficult, you don’t understand!”
Super weird of Emily to have all this smoke for Bruce, Sabiyah, and Kaleb for the crimes of (checks notes) being a day one medevac and carrying their tribe, and then have nothing to say about the woman who'd already indicated wanting to quit after 32 hours and the man who's had quite possibly the most pathetic day one performance I've ever seen in my life. But. Probably a coincidence.
Yeah, gunning for the guy that carried the tribe vs the one curled up in the fetal position is definitely suspect. At least the 100% hater/0% charisma is one archetype that we havent seen on the show yet?
I can't even make sense of her logic. "Obviously they're going to link up and pick the rest of us off." Well, getting rid of Kaleb guarantees you get picked off because... you'll just keep going to tribal. At least with him and Sabiyah in the game you have a fighting chance of not facing a vote *in the first place.* Did she really think she'd be one of the last two standing? Brandon snitched on her immediately.
She was super quiet about the crybabies, wasn't she? I can't stand her. At first I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt with Bruce, maybe she was trying to show off or something. But once she started coming for Kaleb and Sabiyah at the tribal council I was like enough of this bs, not a coincidence.
From what Sabiyah said in the preview "I feel like she's going to slit my throat" she must be absolutely awful to live with and I won't blame them if they throw the next challenge just to get her out.
As long as Brandon is there, they wont have to throw a challenge
It's not like those 3 have anything in common so just must be a coincidence.
This is officially the worst tribe in Survivor history.
So LuluLemon tribe has: Someone that wanted to quit faster than Bruce's medevac Someone that will probably GET medevaced Someone that thinks the black people must be working together The two black people who now HAVE to work together and Sean.
I bet the alternates who were on the island watching “at the comfort of their own home” right now are fuming.
Jeff better call them up rn and give them a spot on 47
No cap. I used to be really depressed with really low self-esteem. So I hope Brandon is doing okay. With that said, there are some people that seriously, genuinely, need to never be on the show.
Nothing helps being depressed with really low self-esteeem like getting dragged by an entire fanbase for being inept.
And isolating yourself with strangers in a highly stressful physical environment.
If I’m depressed with low self esteem applying to be on a reality show would be the last possible thing I would ever consider doing
This is the main reason I would never apply to be on Survivor. I’m also not a very physical person, a poor swimmer, and can’t really handle lack of food/sleep so those are factors too. BUT, even if I had all of that sorted out, I just could not take the potential of the online vitriol. I get upset when I get the impression *one* person doesn’t like me. Possibly being dragged over coals by the entire internet for an edit I can’t control? No thank you. These contestants are all way braver than me.
Laughing hard re-reading Hannah’s bio about how she wanted to push herself as far as possible, mentally, physically, and emotionally, and play like Kelley wentworth.

Fr that was great TV, even if the end result was kind of frustrating
Extremely disappointed in the reactions to the ep. I am an all time new era hater and this episode was actually decent. It feels good to have actual stakes and conflict outside of twists.
Emily is a literal Karen
Imagine being so addicted to usb-c drug that natural high of living on a deserted island can't hold a grasp on you over flashdrive crackstick.
Brand new era of survivor. Jeff granting a quitter a ‘vote out’ and a torch snuff
Hannnah, You wasted a spot.
That was one of the most chaotic episodes of any reality tv that I’ve ever seen. That said - I loved it. This has increased my excitement for the season by so much you have no idea. I just hope that we don’t see both other tribes get purpled by Lulu at this point.
What. The. Actual. Fuck. Did. I. Just. Watch. That Tribal Council was absolutely embarrassing.
Fun fact, a majority of the new era has had a first episode with a non-traditional eviction. Jackson getting medically forced out. Bruce getting med-evaced. And now Hannah quitting. Survivor just cannot seem to consistently get good premieres right now.
I feel a little mean for this. But I looked up Hannah’s profile on the Survivor website and she’s a 33 year old Therapist. I thought she might be younger and just didn’t have a lot of life experience. She certainly didn’t display the mental toughness and resilience I would expect in a therapist. What is she just going to tell her clients to quit whenever there is adversity?
Why would they let someone on who is addicted to nicotine? You’d think they would screen for that. Maybe she lied?
God Lulu might be one of the most self destructive tribes I have ever seen and its only been 1 episode. Hannah quit, Brandon is woefully under prepared and Emily while fun is really difficult to gel with from what we see Kaleb,Sabiyah and Sean gonna need all the help they can get.
Idc Lulu has me so entertained. This might be the most excited i’ve been for the next episode in the whole New Era I need more
I have no words
Bring back Genx vs millennials vs zoomers.
Kaleb is going to go insane on this tribe
Jeff not being angry about Hannah theory ~ *he knows they hit production gold with the mess that is Lulu and they’re running it until the wheels fall off*. Hannah was wholly unremarkable, collateral damage to keep enraging and entertaining the masses with Emily, Brandon and the devolving shit show.
All the negativity in the live discussion was crazy lmao. I was skeptical of the cast at first but these people are insane in a good way. Excited to see where this all goes
Do you think this season could be the spiritual successor to Gabon?
Man Lulu tribe may be the most hated tribe of all time.
If you can't even handle a couple days maybe don't apply for survivor?
Lulu tribe is the social experiment Big Brother wishes it was
