Survivor 36: Ghost Island discussion thread

I'm happy how the final vote turned out, I think Dom and Wendell had equal claim to being the strategic mastermind and the tiebreaker ended up being Wendell's social game.

Anyone else think Wendell's hair in the finale made him look a little like Donald Glover?

I've been thinking he looks like Donald Glover all season! I saw on Facebook that a fan had taken a photo with Wendell, and when he went to post it Facebook suggested they tag Wendell as Donald Glover.

This finale was awesome! It puts the whole season in perspective, and now we understand why so much air time was given to Dom and Wendell, and more importantly how much air time was given to Laurel. She had the million dollar decision to make, and wasn't just another 3rd place finisher that is a non-entity. I had a feeling that the vote would be very close, but that Wendell's social game would take the edge. Personally, I would have voted for Dom, but I definitely get why people chose Wendell. It's very fitting for such an evenly matched partnership to end in a tie vote!

Did they already film the next season? I thought the fall seasons were filmed in the summer. Was surprised they had actual clips from it. Or did it just start filming and Probst had quick flight back to states for the reunion show?

Gimmick seems pretty decent.

Do you think they will eventually admit Kevin Hart's new show is just Wipeout?

They've done that before, when the new season was already filming at the time of the reunion show. That's why, when some contestants return in back-to-back seasons, the others have no idea who they are or how they play, since they wouldn't have had any chance to see that season.

I wasn't impressed with the promo for that other show. I've got no interest in it whatsoever.

Yeah, the spring season usually films while the fall season airs, but normally not the other way around.

Since it's nearly June and the fall season airs in September, it makes sense that they would already have filmed it. Remember that the Olympics messed up the TV schedules this year, so maybe that had something to do with any changes.

I've been thinking he looks and sounds like Donald Glover since day 1. Those two could be twins.
