Hey everybody. What's going on? Rob Sesterino and I'm here with something that I've wanted to do all week long.

0:07.3

I've wanted to break down the entire opening montage to Survivor 50 shot by shot.

0:15.6

And that's exactly what we're going to do here today. So we've gone back and we've screen grabbed the entire opening montage to Survivor 50

0:25.6

to go through exactly what did and what didn't make the cut here in the opening minutes of Survivor 50.

0:31.8

I thought that Survivor 50 that they really nailed the opening minutes overall to a landmark season that we've all been

looking forward to. There was so much nostalgia. It was all the fields. And it really got

you ready for this incredible season, which kicked off last Wednesday night. So let's start

1:29.1

I know they kind of did this in second chances at the start of the game, I believe,

1:34.5

but we could have opened Survivor 50 with a shot like this,

1:38.1

with everybody getting thrown off of the boat, but that's not what we're doing in the Survivor

1:42.2

anymore these days.

1:44.0

And we get a shot of, I believe this is Colleen and maybe Sean in a race out into the

1:52.3

first challenge, the opening minutes, and then here's Jenna Lewis competing.

1:56.1

I believe this was the obstacle course that the Army set up for the survivor players to compete in.

2:04.2

Here's Jervis, of course, who could ever forget Jervis?
