It's "earn the merge" time for Season 45! We enjoyed getting to see all 13 of the remaining castaways scrambling to find new footing in the larger group. What did you think about the alliance choices? How would you manage if everyone was literally out to get you? Is there any way to return from that? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them all together this week? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out? Who impressed you the most? Here is where it stands after week 6.

Everyone was thrilled that we had a normal episode. Folks were mixed on how they would have responded to the Sustenance vs. Strategy advantage. As we head into the Merge or Mergatory, several targets seem likely, and we're excited to see how it plays out when the castaways are all together on one beach.

Have you noticed how much better an episode is when we don't have quitters? What a relief. This was another interesting one with lots of great Tribe Time and the introduction of another advantage that powers up in stages. Will it spark teamwork or some classic Survivor treachery? Is it really a merge? If so, how will they have to earn it this time? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out before the merge? Who impressed you the most? Here is where it stands after week 5.

Jokes on us. We thought we were done with this kind of thing. But nope, the latest eliminated castaway decided they wanted to mine the bottom of the barrel for some additional disappointments to heap on this season. Well, aside from the ending, what did you think of this episode? How do you think the tribe shuffle will affect the game going forward?

In a game where you can trust no one, but have to trust someone, it's always fascinating to see how players build these connections. This episode could have been titled, "Trustbuilding 101". It was certainly a central theme in the development of the social game for all three tribes. What are you hoping we see in the coming tribal shuffle? Who do you think will best be able to manage the transition? What did you think of the new advantages? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action?

The fans are thrilled with the changes so far this season. We're loving the intro, the new puzzles, the update to the challenge sit out rule, and the change at shipwheel island that lets you keep your vote. The extra tribe time is much appreciated, and it's great to get confessionals from everyone. Good job production team! We appreciate and approve the changes.

Now we're cooking! The longer episode gave us some good views of how each tribe is progressing. We really liked the changes so far this season from the new puzzle to being back to not forcing the loss of votes for the advantage island trips. What did you think about the return of "Previously on Survivor" and the classic intro video? When's the best time to do a tribe shuffle?

It's great to be back, but the premiere ended on a sour note for some of us. In any case, it's time again to get the Survivor Super Fan's take on the whole, first episode of season 45. We had some interesting twists, what turned out to be some interesting casting choices, and plenty of what we love about the show. Overall, feedback was optimistic for the season, and we are happy to be back together, discussing our favorite show again. We can't wait for Wednesday night when we get the next installment.

OK, we clearly didn't see that coming. There were some classic, season opener moments, but the ending really laid an egg. What did you think about the change to the Sweat + Savvy challenge? Will they be able to shake the stink from that first Tribal Council? Is there hope yet for season 45? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action?

There's a bit of a division brewing in the fan base. Either you're all aboard for the most featured player of the season, or the show's coming up lacking since the coverage of others is once again, shallow.

Did you hear that collective gasp? Another fan favorite joined the jury. If your alliance left you out of a critical vote, how long and what would it take for you to recover? Would you be able to rebound and rebuild the trust in time for the next vote? What would your plan be to manage your emotions? How did your assessment of the castaways change after this week's gameplay? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is in jeopardy of being voted out next? Who impressed you the most?

The consensus from the fans is clear. You DO NOT want to win a reward challenge that can trigger resentment from those not chosen to attend, especially when it involves letters from home. Many were sad to see another fan favorite join the jury, and fret that we might end up with a flat finale if this trend continues.
