Survivor season 35 premiere date speculation; cast hopes
Tonight the Survivor: Game Changers finale is going to air on CBS, but for a moment, why not focus on Survivor season 35?
Tonight, the reunion show will unveil for the first time the theme for the season and more than likely the title. There may be spoilers out there beforehand, but this is something we like to see live as it happens. It’s better that way! Be sure to be glued to the archive link here over the course of the finale, given that once more information is revealed, a new story will be posted.
At the moment, there isn’t much known about the cast for this season, but this may in turn be a great thing given that it could mean there is a season of all-new players coming up. As entertaining as Survivor: Game Changers may be — and it is in many ways a fantastic season — the time feels right to focus on newbies for a while. There is an element of joy lost watching people who already know the experience, and the meta-game takes center stage for more than we like. Part of the reason we enjoy the show as a viewer is seeing someone’s emotional journey and evolution from someone who never thought they could handle this game into someone who thrives in it and fights for the million-dollar prize. There are so few shows out there that bring such a unique, organic experience to the table.
One other thing that’d be nice to see? A little more of a stripped-down game with fewer twists / advantages, and allow the people to dictate the game a little bit more than the game itself. Maybe this results in one or two predictable boots, but there are times when players, without the threat of twists or advantages, are able to wiggle their way out of difficult situations in order to press onward.
Survivor: Game Changers brought us what we love about this show in terms of crazy gameplay, shocking twists, and complicated vote-offs. Now, it feels like it’s time to get some of that discovery element back into the mix.
