Survivor Ghost Island I feel lacks the authenticity of the past seasons, it feels more contrived and I think it's because they have to control how the twist works, they want to shove this idiotic twist down our throats and it bothers me.
I thought Ghost Island was an awesome idea and they could have done a lot. But they lost me when they gave Donathan the "Sorry not today" slip, that completely wrecks the purpose of that stupid fucking twist.
Secondly, Ghost Island shouldn't have new players, yeah they do too many returning players seasons, and that's true, but they should have saved this one or used it instead of game changers. They could have brought back players who made mistakes (Like The Amazing Race did with their second chance season) Imagine Shii Ann and Shane and Franesca coming back to prove they learned from their past mistakes. You could have Dr. Sean who I'm sure would enjoy a return, I have him on facebook and he still is doing things. He was the original fuckup and I think that I would like to see him return to the game in a season where they are trying to prove better. I want to see Lex VanDenBergh back. I want him to prove that he learned from his betrayal by Boston Rob. Jay Byers who was screwed by The Goddess Kim Spradlin. Francesca! Prove she could actually WIN! And Gonzalez and Jacob from this season. The list goes on
I love Survivor and am rooting for people this season, but Survivor needs to change its format and devamp a little bit. Bring back authenticity, Bring back the culture and feel that it used to have, but keep some of the twists, we don't need Legacy advantages, extra votes and combination idols, but the hidden idols and the Challenge advantages are things that make Survivor fun.
In Conclusion, This season is overkill, I really appreciate they are doing a lot of twists for fan service, but I think we as a whole want to see less, because less is more.

It's been one episode, I actually feel more nostalgic watching this premiere episode than I did watching HHH though.
I think it’s a really weird twist for new players. Like what do these 20 random strangers have nothing to do with bad moves from 10+ seasons ago? It would’ve made more sense with a returning player season.
