As background,....ice always loved hgtv type entertainment but in the past decade, tv personalities and personal life seems to be more important in the show than actually doing the diy. And showing how it's done is almost entirely absent.
This show feels like a good compromise between old and new hgtv styles. I like the aura that the two main people have. The Hawaiian aspect of the show ads a flare that is not often seen on tv...which adds to the shows attraction. What really elevates the show to me is that the designs of the flips are actually something I would want to live in. Rather than most shows flamboyant takes if design that barely stay relevant the entire season they are aired in. I Ben hard situations in this show are positive yet real.
The only cons I see are the awkward extended conversation scenes. But those could also be apart of why I like the show. It feels more real. Which only leaves the only real bad part which is small...is the horrific squeal chime pulled from the 1990's to emphasize something bad is happening.

Ok, so I love Australian survivor. For the most part it just gets better and better every season. And I very season has been better than USA survivor for at least a decade.
That aside, this season is markedly different with respect to the casting. Like the brains tribe feels more like narcissistic tribe rather than intelligence. The amount of people that seem like real world villains seems off the charts this season. And it seems like more off the beaten path were selected. And in some ways, it's why each episode for me is about 1-2 stars less than what I would normally mark down.
The brawn team has it share if the same. And it was funny in the first episode to hear one brain make comment that they expected more brawn than what they saw. I can't I hear that as I watch. But in fairness, it is real world strong people that often have various body types based on skills and athleticism.
And the challenges are still the best of any survivor version to date. This season so far doesn't seem to have any masterminds or social players dominating....even though there are many self proclaimed egotists. Maybe this stands out so much to me because prior seasons had genius, social geniuses and professional fitness legends who almost never had to brag. They just were awesome and that was enough. Which is more endearing as a viewer than a shallow braggart.

So the show is not quite up to the great start in the pilot. But better than episode 2 which was loverladen with drama and not much plot reveal.
This episode has more plot reveal by way of hints to plot to carry a certain vibe of suspense.
But this episode was good enough to make me want to keep watching.
Rest is word count filler
