A truly underrated season. It brought in the culture and spirit of the land, real survival, the danger of the lions, the underdog story of Boran, the first ever twist, the aggressiveness and fall of Lex, and the tamed spirit of Ethan that earned him the million dollars.
Eric Elegado And this intro is IMO a masterpiece. I just loved the atmosphere of Survivor: Africa. I've watched like 15 seasons now (started watching in the spring) and couldn't love Survivor more. Even though I've been good at getting spoiled :D Literally like 10 seasons spoiled. I'm working like crazy to not get spoiled on the newer (30+) seasons. They haven't even started in my country yet.
Lännen Peto Hey, never too late to catch up with Survivor. Actually, I was 10 years old when Survivor premiered but I didnt watch it (busy with cartoons). But one quiet Friday afternoon in 2001, I opened my TV and saw this: Episode 1 of Survivor Africa. With no expectation at all, I watched it, and boy, I thought I said goodbye to the kid that I was.
Currently catching up on all the seasons, on 16 rn. I was born earlier in the same year Season 1 aired and although my family would watch it frequently I never really latched onto it.
Well, my story with survivor is really good. In my country it used to air in a paid tv channel, together with The Apprentice. And in my country, we had our own The Apprentice and I was a huge fan when I was like 8/9 years old. I got so interested that I started watching the american one. Then, one day in 2005, Survivor Borneo was airing after The Apprentice and I continued watching and I fell in love. I always remember watching Borneo, Africa, Palau and Guatemala. Then, it stopped airing in my country and never came back. I got really sad at that time. Last year, I remembered how much I loved it and started watching all over again and almost 40 seasons after, I'm still in love with this show.
My first Survivor ever. Loved it so much and to this day, remains one of my favorite seasons ever. Watched it when it first aired and became attatched immediately. Had to say, Ethan and Big Tom were hands down my favorites this season. Also, the intro is just so epic.
I actually liked Frank. I liked his dry sense of humor, very similar to Rudy's. Yeah he got overly-political in the last episode but I liked him and most of this cast. Fabulous season.
@TheOutbackProduction The guy was certainly very likeable but I find it amazing how underrated strategist Ethan is. Everyone forgets the man is behind two of the biggest turning points for his group. First throwing the challenge to get rid of Silas and the second was to blindside Brandon after Kelly's ouster. He used Lex perfectly as a goat and made moves under him when he needed to. By the end, he was the good guy that never wronged anyone. He played a nearly flawless game in Africa.
You can say the same for Lindsey when she tied in the tribal with 4 votes but won in a quiz, she would be eliminated because of these 4 votes. She was sick a few times.
Props to Russ Landau to transition the African Sigalala Theme to this one. Still one of the distinct Survivor Ancient Voices (the other one is China) that it didn't use the standard Kurski Funk vocals and lyrics but instead translated to a different language.
Love: Ethan, Tom, Clarence, T- Bird, Frank Like: Kim P, Carl, Lex OK: Kim J, Brandon, Kelly, Linda, Jessie, Silas Dislike: Diane Hate: Lindsay ( She is just a whiney brat)
Love: T-Bird, Ethan, Big Tom, Kim Johnson, Kim Powers, Silas, Kelly, Jessie Like: Carl, Clarence Okay: Lindsey, Frank Didn’t care for: Brandon Dislike: Diane, Linda Hate: Lex
@John162708 man, i need to start paying attention to what the hell is going I guess.. I had the same thing with Australia and I barely remember much of Borneo either (i just recently started to watch, I'm soon to begin AllStars now :) But despite that, I have utmost respect for Ethan, especailly since what he's going through now :) and Jenna to for being there for him.
I wonder why the intro screen is smaller than the aspect ratio of the UA-cam app. I know it was filmed differently with a different aspect ratio, but why are there black borders on the top and bottom?
@TheOutbackProduction I love both seasons and while I do think on a weekly basis Amazon was more entertaining, Africa has a more arguably likeable cast and much more satisfying ending. Although I have a much more respect for Jenna now then I did during her season.
@TheOutbackProduction Well this is how I look at his performance in AS, he did well considering everyone wanted him out since day one and he maybe the one guy who didn't have his legacy ruined by that season. Using Africa as an example, people think of Lex as a hypocritical douche (The EZ vote justified everything he got to me.) Big Tom is thought to be a bitter old man who rode Rob's coattails. All anyone says about Ethan and AS is that he got a raw deal. (Which he did.)
@TheOutbackProduction Oh he's totally justified, I think Tom is the only person from AS with a right to still be mad at Rob. My argument is that AS hurt the way we viewed these players and Big Tom in AS was totally different then in Africa, even before he could have possibly known what Rob said. Whereas Ethan I feel like is the only one who didn't really lose any of his likability with fans and hasn't burned people out the way someone like Rupert did.
Surpsingly, Teresa and Kim J were my favourites this season, and I loathed Lex. :/ don't know why I am set like this, it was a good season, but Australia, Heroes Vs. Villains are my top so far (I've watcehd 1-5 (just saw Ken eleminated) and 20-22.
+Evan Singh I agree. Like many shows in it's 3rd season, it dipped a bit. The 1st 2 were epic. Funny b/c when I originally watched the 1st 12 seasons of Survivor, I skipped this one and only watched it in reruns. I liked it, but only b/c I didn't see it after the "high standards" of the 1st 2 seasons.
Maybe that's why I haven't liked it much. I've seen newer seasons and went back to watch the originals. 1 was ok but iconic because it was the first, I really LOVED season 2, thought it was amazing and tina is my queen, but season 3 seemed very meh...
Love- Frank, Carl, Tom(Best transformation ever. Didn't like him before the merge but he was hilarious from the merge and on), Clarence Like- Kim J, Lex(He was being a paranoid jerk about that one vote, but I liked him other than that), Ethan, Kim P, Teresa Okay- Brandon, Silas Dislike- Lindsey, Jessie, Kelly(She was kind of funny in the episode she was voted out but she was a real bitch other than that) Hated- Diane, Linda
@EpiclyAwesomeDude it was kinda meh for me, nothing big, Amazon was somehow better in my opinion.. I dunno, Lex got on my nerves, and for some reaosn I don't think Ethan did much to deserve his win either o.O, but hey Survivor is Survivor.
Am I the only one that really didn't think this season was that great? Lex was robbed imo... neither Kim nor Ethan were entirely deserving tbh (Ethan runner up sure, but Kim??? how did she even get there wtf)
Idk I was impressed with the way he seemed to pretty much take control of the game. Was he perfect, no, and he did make mistakes, but I feel like Ethan was a bit too lowkey for my liking.
also still like Kim??? Are you for real lmao. I guess i'm more new school survivor, but it's crazy how different is it what qualifies someone as sole survivor in the past and now
true, she did prove some strength at the last challenge, but dang, she really doesn't do it for me. Someone like Tina in season 2 really shows imo what an older person needs to do to win the game
wouldve preferred an ethan/lex final two with lex coming out on top but with the way old school survivor is played i guess lex's style would've been too cut-throat and sketchy.
It was really neat how we actually learned a lot about various cultures in each season, and then the artists and designers would built painstakingly beautiful tribal council areas to reflect each culture...

if you pause it at 0:50 at just the right frame, there's an up close shot of what it appears to be Lex's face. Idk why that's the case but ok then
Lol that's so weird.
Its true, just tried it and its true XD

This was one of the best settings. Get out of this contract with Fiji, Jeff! Explore the world again!
Agreed !!
They needa go to India and somewhere cold 😭

Tbh this is the best survivor theme
One of my favorite intros
Beautiful music!!! Wow!
If Jessie wasn't sick I'm convinced she would have won

Lindsey was easily the star of the season, no one can convince me otherwise.
No, T-Bird was. Lindsey was likable at times, but she was so damn annoying a couple of times.
TASTE
Tf the star?? She was our pre merge so no.. and easily forgettable somebody more important like Tom is a star, not a early boot
