So far, I'm on the fence about who wins. Masterminds who have won such as Brian and Earl came off more understated than Todd did in the premiere episode. The person who was editted most similarly to Todd in the first episode was Chris. Chris didn't say anything as self congratulatory as the comment Todd made about pushing the leadership role off on Aaron.

It probably helped that Chris, Brian and Earl were all on losing teams in the first episode, so we were probably supposed to not see them as being as powerful as they would be later on. The last person I remember being on a losing team and still bragging in the first episode was Hatch.

It's unfortunate that anyone who makes a comment where they brag early on about something they did is not likely to be the winner, but that does seem to be the Survivor pattern. Better to say nothing at all, like Danni, or now Amanda.

You could only really pull off the Rich Hatch edit once.

I don't want or expect most of them to have a Hatch edit, but I think the edits for winners since after Amazon end up being so afraid to talk about strategy or show any strongly negative qualities (unless you can't help but show negative qualities, like Chris), which means you almost have to rule out someone who talks too early on about strategy. I think it's an odd way to edit a show, and in some cases the season would have been better if we had seen someone like Aras or Danni discussing their strategy more often. I don't really care whether Todd wins or whether Amanda wins, but my main point is that I wish the editing of this show was not such that I have to assume the person who is not shown strategically must be the winner.

Also, we're one episode in. Relax.

I think people were disappointed because she has been pegged a the winner and in the past few seasons the winner was seen in the first episode. Since she wasn't shown, it leads to the idea they may want to hide her because they think they need a surprise winner or they don't want a winner who is seen involved in strategy. Hopefully that won't be the case. She will probably get more airtime later on.
