User blog:HeeyAlex/Hello!

Hello guys! I've recently discovered this community and I've been fascinated by Wafflefreak's seasons, but now after seeing and discovering more about it I've found out there's plenty of other seasons here and many authors with different stories to tell, and I was actually wanting to meet everyone better, so I will start by presenting myself first.

My name is Alex, I'm currently 19 years old, but I will be twenty by the end of this year and I currently help my mum in her clothing store. It's a very cool and small store who focus on women with bigger numbers and also older women fashion. But whatever, I don't want to be too personal right now so instead I will talk more about my Survivor experience, and since the show it's airing it's forty season very soon, I also hope you guys will share your stories down below as well!

So, during my childhood I was a big fan of the Total Drama series, which for those of you that don't know it's pretty much based on Survivor but as a cartoon for kids, but of course I didn't know about that, I didn't know about Survivor until one day Youtube recommended me a video of the Heroes vs Villains challenge where they battle it out on the mud. I saw it. I loved it. I was sold on it!

From there on, I've fell in love with Survivor, because I feel like it's such a different reality show that highlights many lawyers while in the game. For example, I don't like Big Brother, or many other reality shows because I feel like they are so extra and dramatic and staged at a certain point that I just don't feel the interest. Survivor doesn't feel like that for me, and I loved watching the show since then.

My first season I watched live was Philippines, so I hold it very dearly as one of my favorites, and its's a pretty good season so... My favorite season has got to be Heroes vs Villains (I watched it fully after some time and it's incredible) because of the characters (I'm one that believes that a season wins or loses at it's cast, and season 20's cast was just all you could hope for as a Survivor fan.) From the recent seasons, I guess my favorites would have to be Cambodia, David vs. Goliath and Kaoh Rong (I am one of those who completely understands and supports Michele's win, even if I think Aubry played a better game.)

I've also recently found out about the Australian Survivor seasons and oh boy how they are good. They are very different from the Us version, but I think they balance each other nicely and I feel like both could learn a lot from one another. Like the challenges on Aussie Survivor are everything! And the longer episodes certainly develops the characters more and I love it, but I must confess sometimes they start to feel very slow and boring, mostly towards the end or when they keep repeating the same story line each episode.

So yeah, Survivor is a big passion of my and even if these last seasons they have let the ball drop a bit, I'm still very excited for Winner at War! I encourage you guys to tell me more about your relationship with Survivor as well as your opinions about where the show is headed in the comments. I would also love some tips about starting a season of my own, or some good seasons that are currently underway for me to read!

Thanks everyone! This seems like a very nice group of people and I'm excited to learn more about it!
