Okay seriously, what is happening? We have yet another surprise reveal about Survivor’s upcoming all winner 40th season, brought to us yet again by Martin Holmes. This time it’s concerning the loved ones visit. According to his article on Inside Survivor:
There is going to be a whole lot of love going around on Survivor’s fortieth season, as every cast member is set to receive a family visit, according to Inside Survivor sources.
For the season 40 family visit, every castaway remaining in the game AND those living on the Edge of Extinction had loved ones flown out to Fiji. Furthermore, not just one family member was flown out as per usual, and not two either, like in Caramoan. Groups of family members were flown out per contestant. (It’s not yet clear the minimum or maximum number of loved ones per contestant overall.)
It’s just more ridiculous news coming on the heels of Edge of Extinction return and the news about Survivor “currency.” This is barely even Survivor anymore. You got voted out? Don’t worry, you’re still in the game. Haven’t eaten in a while? No problem, just buy some food. Having trouble sleeping? Buy a pillow. On the bottom of the tribe? Well, just purchase an advantage.
And now multiple family members are being flown out? And even those on the Edge have a chance to win a family visit? What is this episode even going to look like, with this many people involved? We’ll have the loved ones challenge (including however the Edge plays into it), the time hanging out after the challenge, the immunity challenge, and Tribal Council. Unless it’s going to be a two hour episode, it just can’t work.
I don’t even know what to say at this point. I’m really trying to reserve judgement until the season starts, but it’s getting harder and harder with every new piece of news. I’ll end this the same I (jokingly, or so I thought) ended my article about the currency twist: “Let’s see what we find out tomorrow…”
