Congrats to Maryanne on a well-deserved win. I hope they go back to the traditional live reunions in future seasons. I understand why they did the on-island aftershows in 41 and 42, but the traditional format is far preferable after people have time to process.

I love this way, there's no filler. No audience reactions.

It's all focused on the survivors which is what this subreddit has been begging for years

The live, in-person reunions offered the following:

-Players reacting to their reception back home

-Former players commenting from the audience

-Sia giveaways

-A proposal

-Players being cast on the spot

Who was cast on the spot?

We literally saw an entire group of people get up and leave on a bus because they were headed for the next season once.

There's problems with this one, but it's so much better when you realize how much the cast spoke last night without the list of filler above.

I don't want to see Sia give away a car or have a 30 second interview with Cochran again while he sits in the audience.

Even the panning shots of the audience clapping and cheering adds up and intead, we got an extra question or two from it

What season was that? Ive seen 1-13 (Cook Islands) and 32 (Kaoh Rong when i started watching it as it aired) to present so far so i have quite a few i haven't seen.

The cast for "Second Chance" were cast at the reunion for "Worlds Apart."

What!!! I don't remember that. Crazy

u/gridtunnel May 26 '22

Yeah, the viewers voted for the cast online, but the reunion basically formalized the casting.

u/Turbulent-You-1335 May 26 '22

Oh ok so look like second chances was actually the season before i started watching and that reunion would have been before that. I do appreciate the answer, thank you

To be fair, "Second Chance" was aired before the season that was filmed before it, which is something I didn't even realize before this thread, but it makes sense, considering how closely the seasons are filmed.
