Episode 1 Review: I am sorry for being honest. I find this pilot forgettable for the reasons that the challenges are repetitive. I love the oversized Gecko in Immunity Challenge. Yet, this challenge is simply the land version of the water challenge in Season 43.
The first challenge they did once they landed on the beach to meet Jeff Probst was not memorable. It was a test of how quick they were and how fast their spatial abilities were to solve a three-Storey puzzle. I did not feel a connection with it.
Nami (Orange Tribe) and Siga (Green Tribe) won the challenge, leaving Yanu (Purple Tribe) on the out. Yanu had no power but to do the Sweat Challenge the moment they arrived on their camp. Worst part was, Jelinsky and Q discontinued the challenge and quit.
Early alliances were made. Charlie sealed a deal with his three angels – Jem, Maria and Moriah. Randen almost partnered with Venus (my early favorites) as he caught her looking for a secret idol, but Randen was threatened by her presence.
Q, Kenzie and Tiffany were supposed to be in sync with Jelinsky, but as soon as they lost the Immunity Challenge and arrived at the Tribal Council, this alliance was broken. All voted against Jelinsky. 3 stars of 5! So-so
