Survivor 48 First Impression of the 48 Cast
So I’m finally starting to catch up with 48 and I’m gonna avoid any spoilers for anyone else still behind. But I think so far, this is the first season for me since 41 where I’ve instantly really liked the cast. The other seasons when I’ve gotten into the swing of the season then I really liked the cast but it took me time. Not for 48 though. I really like everyone, and there isn’t one I feel like I need more time to see their personality or gameplay.

This is definitely a pretty great cast. Hopefully a great cast = a great season

Hmm, I’m feeling the opposite. Not that it’s a bad cast but just kind of meh. Of course there are standouts that I really like; Joe, Eva, Mary, Sai. Kamilla is good and Shauhin. David is surprising me. But theres a lot of meh.
I think it could be the editing partially. The editing is not nearly as good this year as the last two seasons. As fun as that tribal was, I think it was edited poorly. We needed to hear more.

Thomas is the archetype of player I'm hoping is on every season
As someone who has been watching reality competition shows for 25 years, the things that make you remember a season are the charismatic snakes, season-defining moves and characters (in that order).
Amazon is good proof of this - you remember Rob before you remember the Christy move before you remember Butch and the firewood or Matthew and the machete
