Hi everyone, im part of a Podcast called The Tribe of Nerds, our International survivor team have covered all of AU and UK including interviews with amazing players like Feras and Dirty Harry and many more! We are now onto Survivor South Africa and have covered Philippines and Island of Secrets. For our coverage of Philippines we interviewed Toni and Chane! We also got to sit down for over an hour with the one and only Rob Bentele to break down IoS, that interview drops today.

Would be so grateful if you check out our channel and like, subscribe and share so we can continue to grow, we love doing the podcast but are still struggling to get eyes on it! We have more player interviews scheduled and will be covering Immunity Island next on our deep dive review.

Thanks!

Searched but couldn't find the jury villa/ponderosa for season 6. In the US so I have to find it online rather than the official Survivor SA site.

I just got done watching Island of Secrets... is there any clarity as to what happened with the Nate blindside?

Nicole told the rest of the Amigos post-merge that if they didn't vote him out that he was likely to quit, but I did not get that impression from Nate at all in his final words.

My sense is it was a lie, but wow... the credulity of the Amigos to a person is quite something if that's the case.

I was able to get my hands on these higher quality files, so I went ahead and added them to our links archive that is in one of the pinned posts.

Any requests, questions, etc... Feel free to ask!

Does anyone think this a good idea?

How come no one is talking about it?

Also season 9 has to be an all time best season internationally. one of few i can rewatch and love every time. and season 8 was really fun as well. not a fan of all the other seasons but these two are top tier internationally.

Twice before, I ran hundreds of Twitter polls, asking everyone to rate how much they want every Survivor US castaway to return. There wasn't enough of an audience for Survivor SA, etc. Now, I'm running surveys covering every living castaway from Survivor US, SA, AU, UK, and NZ. (I regret not getting this done before Return of the Outcasts.)

Like the survey instructions say...
-You have to click on a rating to give a rating, even if it's a 0. -You have to complete a survey to submit your answers.

Please take all the surveys you can and share them wherever else you discuss Survivor.

When Tom won the immunity challenge puzzles and yelled before he won was he yelling his own name instead of Nico’s? Because it really sounded like ‘TOM! TOM!’ Which is hilarious to me if thats what he was yelling

I'm contemplating digging my teeth into a deep lost media search for this season. It's a confusing search considering that the US S03 is "Africa", and there is also a "Survivor South Africa: Panama."

From what I can gather is that this season aired on M-Net in 2006.

I'm hoping some of you all in South Africa may have some more information/leads for me to explore? Sometimes a lost media search turns out to already be on the internet somewhere obscure. Sometimes it requires contacting people who may have recorded it on VHS/DVD. Sometimes you have to contact contestants, production, the company that produced it... Hopefully this wouldn't be that difficult!

Love to you all!

I noticed that the voting music for ROTO is used in Deal or No Deal Island on peacock, it starts at the 10:15 mark if anyones' curious

Not that I think this actually matters in the grand scheme (as it would’ve taken 3 seconds to fix) but Werner’s puzzle was incorrect.

On the far left column, 2nd row, his piece was upside down.

Can’t recall seeing this happen across any of the AU or American seasons, so I found it interesting.

Do any of these exist for an SA season? I'm looking mostly for SA 9.

If you haven't yet, please rate the seasons you've seen here! I'm making a big project to see:

• the rankings/scores
• if/how demographics (gender, sexual orientation, superfan status, etc.) affect which seasons you like
• which seasons correlate with others (e.g. maybe fans of one season are more likely to also be fans of another)
• And more. Plus, you can do your own analyses and share.

I'm SUPER excited to share the results with y'all. There's a lot of responses so far, and would love to get more cool insights. Thanks so much!! Also, feel free to share to get more results 🙃

(Lmk if you wanna take a look at the results early, and I'll be happy to share with you!)

As year 2023 comes to an end, I finished making Russian subtitles for seasons 5 to 9 of SA Survivor. I have to say it was one hell of a work, because there have been no english subtitles and I had to do transcripts by just listening (and there are a lot of accents as you know).

It also served me well as a niche to get distracted from my full-day work and from the situation in my country (I'm from Ukraine; from Ukraine, but I speak Russian).

Just wanted to thank those who made this show once again. Sure, we can say that you had not so many seasons, but there haven't been a single season which I would even call average. All five of them are either excellent or above average.

I wish the show came back some day. Let's hope it's another hiatus, like between Season 5 and Season 6.

Happy New Year everybody!

I watched Season 8 and am finishing up Season 1. I understand that Season 9 has returnees, so which seasons should I watch before Season 9 so as not to spoil anything?

Are there any other moments in the seasons that spoil prior moments that I should be aware of? For instance, US Survivor Season 45 randomly spoils the winner of US Season 2 in the finale, and I'd like to avoid these moments if possible.

I could just watch everything in order, but I've seen enough complaints about the first four seasons to think I might be better off jumping around.

I’m assuming it’s because the season is fairly old and not part of the 4 most recent seasons that really popularized the show, but I feel like Season 4 (Maldives) is incredibly underrated. I went into the season with low expectations, as I saw it ranked low in season rankings here and knew about the celeb vs. “pleb” twist going in (which didn’t appeal to me at all).

But the season was actually pretty good? I really enjoyed Roxy & Vanessa and their conflict with the rest of their tribe pre-merge. Post-merge, I loved seeing the Raituhn alliance fall apart and come back together again, they were all good characters in their own right. Really, my only complaints are Jacques’ weird quit and that they didn’t cancel the double Tribal after Vanessa was evacuated to save Roxy! A 5-5 postmerge would have been super interesting.

But, yeah. I wanted to give some appreciation to this season because it was a really great character-driven season in my opinion and I even preferred it to Champions and Immunity Island.

Just thought I’d share this with you all since I already put it together for another sub. But this PasteBin includes every international (non-US) season in the highest quality available.

It’s all on MEGA, though I could make private torrents using privtracker.com for anyone who may want that. Also open to other suggestions as far as storage, because I know many people don’t like MEGA.

Anyways, here is the link: https://pastebin.com/Zs12EFvN

Enjoy!

it's just puzzles every single challenge. my god why not call this the granny games or something? no survival elements, don't see anyone worrying about food. just puzzle puzzle puzzle all game.

season 1 was bad but season 2-5 were awesome so I cannot believe how bad it got in season 6. should I give up? I don't want to watch a bunch of people doing nothing but talking strategy between puzzles. I love the physical competitions and the drama created by the survival aspects. burned out on strategy after 45 seasons of u.s survivor so I loved that south Africa was not the lameass puzzle/carnival game bullshit comps the u.s is now. also loved that south Africa is the most survival heavy version. but season 6 was just as bad as u.s survivor. does it get better or is it just gonna be more seasons of Puzzle Vacation Paradise?

please no spoilers.

my god how do you mess up such an easy hit?

I always start shows in chronological order so am starting at season one.

my god they did an awful job editing the challenges.

so these cheap challenges actually look way more interesting than puzzles and carnival games in the u.s show and some last like 30 seconds or less so I was excited to get to see challenges without jump cuts. well they jump cut everything. the first few reward challenges have rounds that only last a few seconds and yet they still jump cut a 5 second round and inexplicably zoom in on someone's face at the most critical moment so you don't even get to see it finish. like how hard is it to just stand back and record? they ruin every single challenge in season 1.

so they do this stupid shit In season two? I just needed to vent haha.

what do you all think about the way the challenges are cut in the very first season?

I’m watching Survivor South Africa for the first time and I’m currently seven episodes into season 6. To be completely honest I’m kinda bored and uninvested. I’ve heard that this is an amazing season so I was wondering if the show just isn’t for me or maybe the pre merge is slow but the post merge is amazing? I’m just wondering if I should stop watching or if it picks up. Thanks!
