Survivor South Africa: Return of the Outcast (review)


 When I heard this season had a returning cast, I knew it was the first thing I was going to watch after this season of Survivor. 

I started watching it during the latest American season. 

First off...they picked THE WORST cast to come back. It was made up of all players who had NO control in the game at all during their seasons and played some of the worst games ever, only to come back this season and make the same exact mistakes again. Sheesh!

Of all of them to return, Shane was the only one worthy and he made it to 2nd place. (but played terribly the whole game and had NO control until the very end)

Stupid moves were taken from the players, here's a few:

Shona gets a chance to choose which team she joins after a shakeup....she chooses the team that puts her in the minority and it immediately voted out. 

One survivor is so delusional that she thinks she's in control of the game...but she has NO IDEA what was going on the entire time!

Another girl gave away her Tribal Pass and didn't use her 50/50 coin that could've saved her from the vote. With 2 ways to stay in the game she was voted out because she was told by her tribe she was safe....though she KNEW people were gunning for her. 

Astounding stupidity. 

The season did have some nice twist. The winning tribe got to choose two members from the other tribes to go on reward with them and since it was returning players, this got people wondering about pre-alliances. Good job. 

The merge feast was really a food auction with people trying to finish a challenge then getting to choose which dish they want to eat. 

The family visit wasn't until the VERY END of the game. 

All in all, it was ok. Not what I wanted in this season but I'll be looking out for season 10 later on this summer.
