Anyone else feel like the first episode's self-introductions are the best part of survival shows?

After that, they just start explaining the rules
and they have zero intuition....
Maybe it's because I'm slow, but I can't really follow them.
But seeing how the players catch on so quickly,
even though it's all edited for TV, I guess survival show geniuses really are on another level..
It makes sense, though, because there shouldn't be too many loopholes..
I'm sure the production team is struggling with that too..
Anyway
Survival shows just aren't that fun anymore..
The first episode is always the best..
