This video is part 3 in my video essay series that details the history of Old School Survivor. This episode covers Survivor Africa, the third iteration of the show. After the massive success of both Survivor Borneo and Survivor the Australian Outback, this season had some incredible hype to live to.
Survivor Africa featured players such as Lex Van Den Verge, Big Tom, Kelly Goldsmith, and Ethan Zohn and all introduced the first ever twist seen on Survivor.

This is, and I’m not exaggerating here, one of the best Survivor videos on this platform. I have been a Survivor fan since I was little, and a super fan for about five years. But I learned some things in this video! Africa will always hold a special place in my heart as it was the first season I remember watching with my mom. Ethan will always be my favorite player, too. This is a great video, and I look forward to watching your next one!

The thing that makes Lex appealing I think is how he's a perfect example of don't judge a book by its cover. One look at Lex gives the impression that he's just some punk. What we saw however is a good man and a great father

“…a player that I’ve always had a personal fondness for, despite his many missteps on Survivor.” Is a really good way to describe Lex and why we all remember him so well.

These recaps are fantastic and really bring out some nostalgia! I look forward to the next part in the series, whenever that may be.

Africa was my first and favourite season (I was completely unaware of Borneo and had heard about Australia). The cast was quite interesting, and there are some early signs of the machinations that are now commonplace. Staying in the pack and using Tom and Lex as meat shields certainly served Ethan well.

These have been some of the best Survivor related videos I've seen on KZfaq. I look forward to the remaining seasons. Marquesas and Thailand in particular were the first seasons I remember watching live, although it wasn't every episode. Amazon was the first season I watched in its entirety so I hold a lot of nostalgia for these seasons.

These videos are fantastic, I really enjoy this perspective on the older seasons. A common popular story trope is seeing ordinary people thrust into extraordinary situations, and that is what these seasons do best. Plus I’d totally dig seeing videos of the evolution of Survivor meta

Dude. I need MORE Survivor content. This is absolutely incredible, and I love your appreciation of old school Survivor. I'm writing a Survivor fanfiction right now that is rooted in love for the old school.

Ill always love Lex, even though he's not a suuuuper strong player and is very emotional. To me, he always seems like the most "average" person on Survivor (possibly ever). He really feels like a normal guy plucked off the street and put into this situation, and is trying his best to fight his way out even if he gets wrapped up in his own paranoia. Survivor is about highlighting the differences in personality and emotion, and I truly think we've never had an antihero quite like Lex before or since.

Really enjoyed this! Thanks for your hard work!

I'm glad you also hated the gameplay in episode 8. Not only did Brandon doom himself, he also made the season infinitely less interesting. Also, I just wanted to tell you that because of your videos, I started watching Survivor and got through the first eleven seasons. Keep it up!

@darksydeernie Жыл бұрын

No, I don't think a separate video series on the Survivor meta is worth the time. This series is more than good enough!

Since you’ve dropped a couple nice comments I’ll give you the exclusive update: new videos are coming. I have multiple that are in different stages of production. My life circumstances (including working full time) have changed over the last year but I should be back to my old pace of a video every couple of months (I know, not great lol) soon. Thank you so much for your supprt!

So awesome this is back! I'm not a huge Survivor fan now, but I did watch the OG seasons way back in the day, so these videos are great for even a casual OG Survivor fan like me.

Love the video, but I wish you would have included the way that Lex, Tom, & Ethan treated Clarence… I’m curious how that was perceived at the time, knowing that it ages poorly
