The Resume

Why Survivor 41 might be annoying:

    Viewers had to wait more than a year after the previous season ended to see this one.
    You’d think that production of Survivor wouldn’t have been affected by COVID-19; after all, marooning people on a remote desert island is the very epitome of social distancing!
    They had two ‘last-name’ players (Abraham and Voce) who were voted out in the first seven days.
    Collectively, the cast was so unattractive and uninteresting, that it made the Fans tribe from Season 16 look like America’s Next Top Model candidates.
    They had to put up with Jeff throwing all sorts of wild new twists at them throughout the game.
    They reduced the length of the game from 39 days to 26.
    The production crew practiced race discrimination, as they dumped some of this season’s original cast members thinking that the cast was too white.
    Children watching at home were encouraged to solve various puzzles seen on the island, as part of the ‘Game Within the Game.’
    Jeff claimed that these puzzles were designed for ‘future Survivor players,’ as if solving puzzles at home would teach kids how to survive in the wilderness without food, water, or shelter.
    Russell Hantz criticized this season’s attempts at political correctness (and when Russell Hantz is calling you out on your actions, you know you’ve really stepped in it).
    TV ratings took a nosedive this season.
    During the tribal phase of the game, last-place tribes in immunity challenges had to give up their flint until they won immunity again.
    They allowed one player to ‘travel back in time’ and change the outcome of one particular immunity challenge.
    For the first time in 40 seasons, there was no subtitle in the season's name.
    They replaced the live Reunion show with a taped After Show, which was not recorded in front of a studio audience.
    The After Show didn’t include castaways voted out before the jury phase, which is why it was an After Show and not a Reunion Show.

Why Survivor 41 might not be annoying:

    To make up for the season being only ⅔ as long as usual, they made it 1.5 times tougher.
    At the Final 12, the tribes were dissolved, but the merge did not happen until after the next Tribal Council, meaning the surviving castaways at that point were all tribeless.
    Sydney became the first ever ‘person without a country’ on Survivor, as she was voted out at Tribal Council as a member of no tribe whatsoever.
    Shan is the first ever castaway with MS to compete on the show.
    Erika became the first Canadian resident ever to play the game, and the first Winner from Canada.
    Tiffany was originally an alternate, but got on at the last minute.
    They announced the Winner right at the game site, then held the After Show on site immediately thereafter.
    The season saw its third Asian winner.
    They served pizza and champagne to the castaways at the After Show.
