Survivor is starting to recycle some elements of its so-called new era, and three-time player Kelley Wentworth is getting bored.
Wentworth, 38, expressed her annoyance with the season via her Instagram Stories during the Wednesday, April 30, episode of Survivor 48. She zeroed in on the reward, won by Kyle Fraser, and the subsequent picnic he enjoyed with Eva Erickson, Kamilla Karthigesu and Shauhin Davari.
“Okay yay for not being at the sanctuary but why does every reward LOOK THE EXACT SAME?” she wrote above a picture of herself with her hand on her head. “You could swap this one with any of the last three and I wouldn’t even notice a difference 😂”
She expanded on the next slide, conceding that it “may not seem like a big deal,” but it made her feel like she was watching an episode she’s already seen.
“It feels like the same episode over and over,” she said, adding an aside that host Jeff Probst hyping the players up by getting them to chant “fried chicken and waffles” was “wild behavior.”

“Then he says you’re gonna take a boat. It’s going to be cool. You’re going to a different island. And I’m expecting something neat,” she continued. “I’m expecting something different. And then we get there. It’s those same tables. Like, they went to Home Goods and they spent $20 on each of those and they are gonna use them dammit. They are going to use those tables. I just, it’s like they’re back at camp and it’s deja vu.”
Wentworth also criticized the season as a whole, saying it is “draggggging bad.”
Survivor 48 is down to the final seven contestants after Wednesday’s episode. The alliance of Kyle, Eva, Shauhin and Joe Hunter seems to be cruising to the end, and as players outside of the power structure have failed to fight back, many in the fanbase have found the season boring. Former Survivor All-Star Rob Cesternino called the season “stuck in the mud” during his “Survivor Know-It-Alls” podcast with fellow Survivor alum Stephen Fishbach.
Wentworth later posted a clip of her watching contestant Mitch Guerra explain why he wouldn’t make a big move at this point, arguing he didn’t trust the people he’d have to work with to pull it off.
“Send help,” she wrote over the video, before yelling “What is going on?” at her screen on the next slide.
Survivor airs Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
