It's my first time watching. I haven't watched other seasons due to how long the episodes are, but I'm giving this one a go after watching Survivor NZ/SA.
The only negatives I see:
-IMO the cast is way too white. Like ONE minority out of 24 people? Or TWO if you count the girl who is half aboriginal. The last season of both Survivor NZ/SA are way more diverse .
-24 people and only two tribes = a bit much
-I understand they have the champion tribes, but literally even on the contenders tribe everyone is super athletic. I cannot even tell the difference with a lot of the guys because they all look the same atm.
-I like that Russell is back, but I think he's an early boot especially due to the fact he is barely mentioning it on social media and said he's not watching...
