And celebrities too, I can't wait to see this one.

The show with celebrities that looks like "Survivor" isn't "Survivor." It's called "Beyond the Edge."

Oh thanks sorry.

The cast for Season 42 has been announced: https://ew.com/tv/survivor-season-42-cast-photos-bios/

And an interesting tidbit: Zach posts on Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/survivor/comments/sopr5j/from_8_months_ago_the_time_has_come/

(I hope Tori is first to get her torch snuffed.)

Survivor 42 reveals the first twist of the game (here we go again...)  https://ew.com/tv/survivor-42-premiere-sneak-peek-first-twist/

I think we're off to a good start Two people gone right off the bat, and I'll have to say that I never expected Jackson to be trans, and I didn't want him to leave so early, but I understand it. Speaking of leaving early, Zach was one scrawny guy, and a few weeks with no food would not bode well for him.

I was sorry to see Zach go so soon since he seems to have a pretty good attitude about it all, and the sooner Tori goes, the better. Otherwise (aside from being about an hour too long), it was a decent episode. I like what I see so far of Jenny, so she's my early fave. The part where she's talking about the triangle puzzle while her tribe mates looked so clueless was hilarious.

[AVorlon]

Yep, Jenny is my early favorite as well. A good first impression can go a long way.

This cast is better than last season's cast for sure other than a few standouts. Though maybe it is the lack of overexposure to Shan that helps. 

[Magpie]

Aside from Maryanne, who is just exhausting, and Tori, who is obnoxious, I like this season's cast. So far, they have been entertaining, although maybe last season's was just as good and we just didn't get to see that thanks to it being The Shan Show. It seems like we are seeing more strategy back at camp (and less of Probst) this time around, which is awesome. 

[AVorlon]

Ugh, just as I put my stamp of approval on Jenny, she gets eliminated.  Not sure I have a favorite now.  Anyone else have one?

[Magpie]

I can't help but route for Jonathan, just because he literally carries his entire tribe, and he seems like a nice guy. Not surprisingly, I find it easier to name ones that I do NOT like (Maryanne, Tori, Chanelle...). I haven't seen enough of some of them to have an opinion yet, though. It may be that Lydia and/or Lindsay turn out to be faves.

Three hour finale is set for May 25. I haven't seen anything that says if there will be a live reunion show or they'll do it like last season and announce the winner out on the island.
