5 Interesting Things From Survivor Game Changers Episode 1
Now We’ve Got Bad Blood
We got to see so little of the Nuku tribe due to Mana failing twice and generally fewer conflicts, but we can’t leave this week without bringing up what’s going on there. Little do they know they will be broken up before they can even truly figure out alliances or core partnerships, but if there’s any conflict out the gate, it’s between Ozzy and “Cherrie” (Cirie, for those who aren’t Debbie).

They have a history going back to Survivor Micronesia, where Cirie followed her friends by blindsiding Ozzy. The two even made up with a handshake, although Ozzy went to others to try to throw Cirie’s name out there. Cirie, seeing a threat looming on the horizon, buddied up with the likes of Tai, Debbie, Sarah, and Zeke, trying to get in nice before throwing a name out there.
Perhaps they’re trying to keep this tribe’s story interesting in the early going by highlighting what little drama there was (seriously, Andrea was mostly invisible after they abandoned ship), but Survivor Game Changers might be setting up a huge battle going down the line between Cirie and Ozzy. I would love to somehow see them both make it to the end and pontificate their best gameplay moves, creating an epic clash as the season ends.

Otherwise, everything seems to be hunky-dory at Nuku.
