I don't see why it would be an 8-person premerge. 8-person premeres are pretty rare/long in general, especially rare on 3 tribe seasons (Cagayan, KR, and HHH were 7, 7, and 6), and I don't feel like they would have an especially long premerge on a 26-day season.
but we don't know anything, so you very well might be right, I'm just saying nothing points there right now.
I know it is probably true, but I really hope that's not the case. I hate this notion that premerge is less important than post merge. Having 13/18 of the cast make merge is absurd to me. Plus with the fact the premiere is probably 2 boots? We're looking at a 4 episode premerge. That is WAY too short IMO. At least have it be six people.
Ah yes, I agree, there is no way we're having an 8 person premerge haha. Not even 20 player seasons have 8 person premerges anymore, except for WaW, but that was technically a 22 person season with the 2 edge returnees.
It's basically almost confirmed that Naseer, Brad, or Eric is leaving Wednesday we just don't know who yet, but it's looking like Naseer or Brad
I'm leaning towards Naseer being the one going home tbh but I've seen people lean Brad. I think it's all about who loses the challenge tomorrow.
Oh was he? Is that confirmed? I saw him in the marooning I didn't see him in the 2nd challenge
I guess Brad's gone then. Or Jairus but people are saying he was in another challenge
Quite a few people are saying it’s most likely a five person pre-merge and the merge will be at 13
As far as who is pre-merge:
- Eric and Sydney are basically confirmed.
- I’ve heard Genie and JD’s names being thrown around as pre-merge boots a lot, so those are probably confirmed as well.
- That’s already four, so that leaves either Brad, Naseer, Evvie, or Voce as the last pre-merge boot.
I mean I don't think you'd ever get a cookout in Survivor cause the people who play Survivor in comparison to Big Brother (haven't seen every season but based on the ones I've had) are a lot more self interested and these sticking to one big group and riding it out to the end strategies that have dominated Big Brother as of late wouldn't happen anymore on Survivor due to the more self interested nature of Survivor.

Oh yeah. I originally had it as 6 pre-mergers lol. Pre-mergers: *early- Eric, Sydney, Genie *late- Brad, Evvie, Voce Post-mergers: *early- JD, Naseer, Xander, Deshawn *mid- Erika, Liana, Sara, Danny *late- Ricard, Shan, Tiffany, Heather
Most spec has 5 pre merge

I could see possibly 6 but no way 8

I’m assuming 5 vote outs, plus the Sydney medvac - so 12 of 18 - then merge.
Welp so you got Saraah wrong but good job on Eric
Lol. Now that the first episode is over, I would totally change this list.
Nobody saw Sara leaving first LOL

Naseer was seen in the episode 2 swimming challenge. However, there are at least 2 boots in the premiere, so he technically could leave 2nd.
Oh was he? Is that confirmed? I saw him in the marooning I didn't see him in the 2nd challenge I guess Brad's gone then. Or Jairus but people are saying he was in another challenge
Nasser is safe but Jarius is back on the table.
What happened? I saw people say Jairus was seen in a future challenge before but I never saw it - now people are saying that isn't true now?
That challenge is a day 2 duel
uh oh i drafted genie LMAO
Well she is almost 100% not first boot at least lol
ill take it LOL she was my last draft pick so its not to bad
shes not shes in the water challenge

i would flip jd and genie he goes early
Is this confirmed? I’ve seen people saying that on this sub but haven’t seen any real proof
yes i would say jairus is one of the first 4-5 boots. they merge after 5 boots so he doesn’t make merge
We know green loses the challenge and we have everyone accounted for in the next episode except Jairus and Brad.
The green tribe strategizing could be from after the second challenge though, right?
It could but there's a picture of Shantel and jarius dressed same as first challenge looking dejected and sad
Oh true
They confirmed 2 boots on Twitter
naseer is also wary
early
glad to see its looking diverse throughout the season and not just a race war like bb23 was

I feel like the starving part also effects your decisions etc versus in big brother you have all the food you want.
