Episode 1: An enthusiastic introduction
Published: September 28, 2025
The premiere of Survivor 49 was bursting with energy from the new crop of contestants, and while the overlong episode meandered a bit at times, most of the cast seem likely to deliver a fun, gameplay-focused season, even if the first vote was a dull, keep-the-tribe-strong affair.

Pitman is the founder of the True Dork Times, and
probably should find better things to write about than
Survivor. So far he hasn't, though. He's also responsible
for the Survivometer, calendar, boxscores, and contestant
pages, so if you want to complain about those, do
so in the comments, or on twitter: @truedorktimes
