Survivor: Game Changers — Mamanuca Islands
Multiple links in body of thread | February 9, 2017

Posted on 02/09/2017 2:41:00 PM PST by EveningStar

Survivor: Game Changers — Mamanuca Islands is the 34th season of Survivor (for those unfamiliar with the show, there are two seasons each year). It begins Wednesday, March 8, 2017 on CBS at 8/7c with a special two hour episode.

Official Survivor site at CBS

Wikipedia article


There will be twenty returning players divided into two tribes of ten players each. The "Game Changers" theme as with some past themes, is of course utterly contrived. Apparently the original plan called for three teams consisting of (1) winners, (2) those who made the jury, and (3) those who were booted prior to making the jury. The plan fell through when the producers couldn't get enough winners to return.

Twelve cast members will be playing for a second time, six for a third time, and two for a fourth time.


Survivor: Game Changers host Jeff Probst says next season is like Jaws

Season preview


As with last season, this season will be held in the Mamanuca Islands, Fiji. It will consist of 20 returning players.

The players range in age from 25 to 54. There are 4 from California, two each from Florida, New York, and North Carolina, and one each from Alabama, Connecticut, Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Utah.


Mana Tribe (orange buffs): Aubry, Caleb, Ciera, Hali, Jeff, Malcolm, Michaela, Sandra, Tony, Troyzan

Nuku Tribe (blue buffs): Andrea, Brad, Cirie, Debbie, J. T., Ozzy, Sarah, Sierra, Tai, Zeke

Pretty good opening for this season.

Sandra taking out Tony was awesome but I think her outburst at TC will play on the minds of her fellow team members - but the tribal swap may give her breathing room.

She does seem a bit grumpy this season.

Her “anybody but me” strategy kinda’ went by the wayside right off the bat when she locked horns with Tony.

Having experienced sand flies on the beaches in Honduras, you'd never get me on Survivor......After a couple episodes, look closely at the arms and legs of the contestants, you'll see how the sand flies have been feasting on them.........

The bites I suffered itched for over a month after I got home........

I was really hoping for some game changing twists, and so far it really just looks like it is Survivor by the numbers. Here we are on the boat, there’s the stuff Ozzy’s supposed to swim out for, there are safety divers in the water to protect the chickens, here’s an immunity/reward challenge, here’s your flint for being losers...

Oh, and we’re doing a double episode as we couldn’t possibly make it suspenseful who’ll go out first. Oh and look out, next week is a ‘game changing’ tribal swap...

Now, if Jeff had said ‘Tony, you’ve been voted out of this tribe, but you’re not out of the game, here’s your new buff and you can pick anyone you’d like from your old tribe to take with you’, THAT would have been a game changer.

Come on, producers, you’ve got all experienced players here and honestly, how many hours of untying knots are we really supposed to sit through each season?

Survivor Ping!



Tony Gives Sandra Props Even After She Gave Him The Boot On Survivor: Game Changers
Plus, the season's second cast-off explains what the deal was with that spy bunker he was building.


As the winner of Survivor: Cayagan, Tony Vlachos seemed poised to go the distance on Survivor: Game Changers.

Even his early strategies—hunting for idols, building a spy bunker, and immediately trying to form alliances—felt like the types of moves a real game changer might make.

Alas, a second victory was not in the cards for the Jersey native, and, by the end of the two-part season premiere, Tony's torch was snuffed.

We caught up with Tony to talk about him clashing with Sandra on Game Changers, whether he'd come back for another season, and what the deal was with that secret spy bunker.

There is a lot we didn’t see. Sandra flipped all of them.

She is some of kind of mysterious shedevil.

They voted for Tony and a few for Aubry in case Tony had an idol.

Not much excitement last night.

Sandra still seems grumpy and odd one out one her new tribe. Wonder if the “queen” bit is wearing thin on the rest of the tribe.

Little surprised they booted Caleb and kept Hali.

It seems to me that Tai cut the throat of someone in his season after claiming to be buddy buddy etc. Can’t remember the details.

Not surprised he booted Caleb. Brad knew what to say to get Tai to turn. He is more cut throat than Survivor edit. They like to portray him as the altruistic old soul blah blah blah.

I think Brad will go far this time.

Just once, I’d like to see them not pick off the strong players and have them battle it out until the end.

and official Survivorcbs twitter spoils a big twist for tomorrow. And Dalton of EW retweets it. “They should have kept this secret instead of spilling the beans in advance, thereby lessening impact upon viewing.”
