Survivor Canberra S2 Edgic - Episode 3

  Welcome once again to Survivor Canberra edgic!   Episode three   has been released so I'm back to analyse this edit. We had the shortest episode of the season thus far, which means less overall content and more emphasis on those who did receive substantial development. Who's changed this episode? Who's edit is sinking quicker than the titanic? Let's find the answer. Previously On Segment The 'Previously on Survivor' this time had a few interesting takes on last episode. It focused on Mel for Winyu - which makes sense but also didn't mention other key characters like Simon and James. This to me suggests their storylines may not be as important as other players on their tribe. Sophie got a confessional saying she should 'push forward and get the advantage' - which seems like easy foreshadowing that she might be the one to receive it over Michael and Johanna. On top of that, Kubbadang got a lot of recap while Winyu received very little (despite them g

Welcome back to another edition of Survivor Canberra edgic! Episode two is out and it's time to delve once again into another jam-packed episode. This one isn't a premiere, which means it is less about introducing us to characters and more about moving the story on. Who are the main drivers of the story? Let's find out. Previously On Segment The 'Previously on Survivor' Segment is also a part of the episode and edgic, and can in fact be one of the most useful tools. This is completely made up by the editors - they solely decide what they deem important to the previous episode and what 'narrative' is being pushed.

Kubbadang's section just set up Grace's exit this week on the basis of her isolating herself from the tribe, but Winyu's section specifically focused on Simon and Sam's

Welcome back to Survivor Canberra edgic! The premiere episode aired last Friday and that means we've officially hit the on-season. Time to delve deep into this edit and determine who our main characters, heroes, villains and even potentially our winner are for season two.  What falls under Edgic? I wanted to quickly touch on what specifically I use within an episode for edgic. It might be obvious to say 'all of it' but the goal is to spot intentionally edited footage relating to castaways or themes. This means that challenges will rarely be included in edgic - that part of the episode has to be shown regardless and a player doing well or badly doesn't reflect on their character unless it's highlighted. In a similar vein, in real-life Survivor games players typically get just one tribal question each, perhaps more depending on the circumstances. That means it's hard to judge a character based on their answer to tribal because there's a good chance that was t
