  • Survivor: Game Changers: a View from a Fan
    Survivor: Game Changers: A View From A Fan Author : Nick Granados The 34th season of Survivor began last night with a two-hour premiere. Nobody was surprised when the castaways hit the ground sprinting to get things started the moment they left the boat. This season is known as “Survivor: Game Changers” and features a cast full of players who are known for moves that have changed the game of Survivor forever. [NickG] The two tribes of game changers are as follows (along with their past season(s)): Mana Tribe: Ciera Eastin (Blood vs. Water/Cambodia) Tony Vlachos (Cagayan) Aubry Bracco (Kaoh Rong) 1 / 4 Michaela Bradshaw (Millennials vs. Gen X) Sandra Diaz-Twine (Pearl Islands/Heroes vs. Villains) Hali Ford (Worlds Apart) Malcolm Freberg (Philippines/Caramoan) Caleb Reynolds (Kaoh Rong) Troy “Troyzan” Robertson (One World) Jeff Varner (The Australian Outback/Cambodia) Nuku Tribe: Andrea Boehlke (Redemption Island/Caramoan) Brad Culpepper (Blood vs. Water) Cirie Fields (Panama/Micronesia/Heroes vs. Villains) Sarah Lacina (Cagayan) Oscar “Ozzy” Lusth (Cook Islands/Micronesia/South Pacific) Zeke Smith (Millennials vs. Gen X) Sierra Dawn Thomas (Worlds Apart) James “J.T” Thomas Jr. (Tocantis/Heroes vs. Villains) Tai Trang (Kaoh Rong) Debbie Wanner (Kaoh Rong) After gathering whatever they could from the boat, the castaways took a raft to their camps where the gameplay began the second they made landfall. Castaways immediately started strategizing and felling out who they may align themselves with, while Tony took it upon himself to openly announce that he was looking for a hidden immunity idol. A lot went down in the two-hour premiere.
