On Wednesday, March 9 at 8/7c with a typical two-hour premiere, Survivor Season 42 promises to deliver “one of the most intense versions” of the Emmy-winning competition series yet, bringing back risky beware advantages, delivering game-changing twists and coming at “a relentless pace that will push these castaways to their limits.”
I’m hoping for fewer twists and more drama as it seems that the Australian Survivor is more entertaining lately. And perhaps another Canadian winner?
‘Come on in’ will be said to 19 castaways so lets meet them and I can stop rambling?
