Watched the premier of AU Survivor 5. This is my first time watching any AU version. The host is pretty good, he's a good Jeff substitute.
Glad Steve stayed, he has much better entertainment value going forward.
Also Russell is exactly the same in confessionals, but he seems like he might have softened up a little bit in normal camp life? Hard to tell because shockingly there wasn't an overwhelming amount of him.
I thought the editing was even more atrocious than usual with the blatant and completely undisguised voice clip altering...
there was one guy who was apparently talking about Heath, but when he said Heath's name, the pitch of his voice was like a while octave lower lol.
And then Russell... okay, so he's heavy and requires more effort to pull over the wall, but that hyperbolic "really struggling to pull Russell over the wall!!" was asinine, and then they cut away from the scene with an even more desperate hyperbolic attempt to make it look like Russell was holding back his tribe... and it showed Russell standing there, while the host was narrating Russell having trouble get up the wall. Wtf. That is so sloppy, editors.
Overall, I enjoyed the episode though. ---
Place-holder sig because new phone and old sigs not saved :/
