    Looking forward to see what the twist is and how it affects the game. Hopefully it's not something they abandon quickly.

        I completely whiffed on the premiere, forgot it was on until tribal, that was all I caught and it made me wonder what that woman did that made everyone have such strong opinions against her, and also the vote seemed bizarre. Didn't realize there were returning players either. Damnit

        Maj, what happened?

          She was being "too much of a mom". Moving peoples things without them wanting to, because she thought those things could get wet.

          Despite that, she hated people saying she's the mom character.

          And her being older than others made them view her as weaker.

          Just listening to how she was talking to people at tribal too, you could see how she didn't really get along with others. And also partially the whole thing with groups forming simply based on who was working with who on regular camp work.

                How is Wendy still in the game? She's doing what she can to sabotage things and she's injured but they're keeping her!

                She's no doubt getting voted out eventually, but Wentworth should probably win this season.

                Next week, the predictable episode 4 tribe switch. Why are CBS shows so predictable?

                    Casual fans wouldn't know, but regulars, especially in the day and age of social media, can make people alot more aware of certain things. Look at the "women rarely find idols" stuff. Casuals wouldn't notice, but social media and reddit sure noticed, eventually making its way into the game, and now the past few idol finds have all been women.

                    Tribe swaps get too predictable, similar with the merge. They know merge happens sometime around the final 12. So everyone anticipates and prepares for the inevitable.

                    You can make the game so much more unpredictable by changing the simplest of things. No need for big twists to do that.

                    A season with no swaps? No merge? No hidden idols? People wouldn't be expecting that.

                      Is this where extinction island comes in? 1 of the 3 come to join 1 of the 3 tribes?

                      I wish they had people on individual islands. The more people they have, the easier it will be if they can split up tasks.

                        They've never explained the island on the show yet. Probably want that to be a mystery throughout as well.

                          cmon man! you've studied the show for so long, you know what this means!

                          the extinction island will merge at a certain date because you predicted it

                          CBS never mixes it up

                            Really though, I see it ending up a similar return rule as redemption island.

                            That, or the outcast twist.

                              What a crazy "switch". That was 1 part I wasn't expecting.

                              Outside of Allstars season where Amber was lone person moved to diff tribe(which was the key moment of season leading to real rise of villain Boston Rob), don't think this has happened before.

                              I'm sure they weren't expecting immunity challenge to start so rough but weather changed the whole challenge. Funny timing for Wentworth to compare them to the Cleveland Browns.

                              Wendy seriously is crazy. Russell sabotaging everything was funny in his first season. Wendy is just crazy. I just noticed she's a swap meat vendor which makes the chicken stuff funnier.

                              That Lesu tribal was sad. Those 5 in F5 I wouldn't have minded. Makes it more unique because rarely do we have small tribe where everyone's together from start and no bad blood.
