What Fans Should Expect From Survivor 42?
Survivor 42 is the second season to be filmed during the pandemic and was filmed directly after Season 41 last year. This season is expected to be very similar to Season 41 and will have many of the same twists such as the three-way idol and the shot in the dark. The season will also continue the new trend of US season being 26 days causing the game to be much more fast-paced. This season also marks the 10th time a US Survivor season was filmed in Fiji
Fans hope that the controversial hourglass twist will be removed from this season after it was criticized by both fans and cast members of the cast. The twist saw two teams compete in a challenge at the merge to compete for immunity. Erika Casupanan and Naseer Muttalif were left out of the challenge. The winning team chose Naseer to join them as the immune team while Erika was sent to Exile Island.

At Exile, Erika was given a choice to break an hourglass to “turn back time” and make the winning team lose the challenge making the losing team immune from Tribal Council. Of course, she broke the hourglass because she felt that she was on the chopping block. Erika later goes on to win the season.
Contestant, Danny McCray, was especially critical of both production and Jeff Probst for the twist. He felt that they performed a bait and switch by allowing the winning tribe to lose their win and be vulnerable at Tribal Council. The fans weren’t exactly fans of this “twist” either so hopefully, they learned from their mistakes in season 41.
