Interesting group so far. Hey, if it is the first episode and I can remember some of them, I consider it at least somewhat interesting.
Dude, this turned into a really whiny, complaining little group of players.
So far, I’m liking the premise, but I’m a little worried about the amount of players I actively dislike so far. The first person I thought I would like is already gone. And I am a little thrown off by the lack of the transitions between the tribes so far. Even though it’s the same amount of players as any season, it feels like there’s a lot more to keep track of.
Also, taking the win was 100% the right move. Giving up guaranteed immunity is almost never a good idea.
Ah crap, the cutest girl is already out.
I think you mean the moron who couldn’t follow simple instructions on how to fall into a net.
Who is the annoying bimbo who was on the right at Tribal? Bitch, bitch, bitch.
Seriously? The women expected the men to be chivalrous? Have they ever seen the show before?
To be fair, very few of the men or women fell the way Jeff told them to.
I hate players taken out of the game because of injuries
Probst should have been more explicit with his instructions because few of the jumpers did it correctly. And a demonstration.
“Hey By the way, you ought to land on your back in this net with your arms folded across your chest.”
I have no idea who anyone is.
I couldn’t stand either Alicia, the Special Education teacher, or Matt(?) the young, cocky, sexist douchebag lawyer(I think).
I hope they both get sent packing pronto.
I hate everyone so far. Clumsy bitch deserved a broken wrist. Didn’t she listen to Jeff’s instructions? Obviously not.
The young guys need to all get eaten by crocodiles, especially Captain Forehead.
Colton has single-limp-handedly set back gay-straight relations at least 50 years.
They didn’t do it correctly because they ignored the instructions, while also ignoring those who did it right, who popped right up and moved on to the next part of the challenge. If there is one universal rule in reality TV, it’s “Listen to and follow the instructions!”
I don’t know any names and won’t for a few weeks, and I need to see more of the men, but I see a lot of players with potential to go all the way, something very much missing in recent seasons. There’s one crazy old guy, a stereotype of a gay man, and an obnoxious, loud, head-snapping woman, but the rest could do some damage. I don’t put a lot of weight on what they say in confessionals, it’s the way they are when interacting with other players that counts.
Any of the strong guys could emerge if they keep their egos in check in public. The bridal store owner and the Asian woman seem to have it on the ball, plus the black woman who made sure when handing over the idol that she was expecting something in return. They’re all playing the game. Oh, and the Southern drug rep who caught both chickens, the second one while holding the other chicken in one hand.
No complete headcases, no weak and worthless old people, no oddballs with a single boring “quirk” to play up every week.
Holy crap, what a messed up beginning.
The girls get ripped off of an axe (which is fine, c’est la guerre), but then they screwed the guys out of a chicken without making it clear it was because of the boy’s theft previously. The women continue to act stupid: stealing fire then letting it go out, doing scutwork for the boys without agreeing among themselves, yadayada. Meanwhile the boys are chill all around, except quite a few are complete jerks. Then there’s the pastel gay dude who seems like an okay guy, but will just never ever fit into his tribe, but he lucks into an idol, which may get interesting next week as I’m sure he’s up on the block if the boys go to tribal.
Meanwhile at challenge the women get an injured player and forfeit because of that. I can see why Jeff ruled the way he did, but I don’t think I’ve seen such an arbitrary loss this early in the game and I was kind of pissed for the girls.
Tribal was entertaining as heck: the girls are just a mess and likely to never get anywhere under any circumstances at this point. Sheesh.
I’ve dubbed the following players:
Michael is Robbie Rotten (seriously, the resemblance is a bit eerie; my wife agreed as soon as I mentioned it).
Jay I’ve dubbed “helium breath”. He sounds like Nicolas Cage in Peggy Sue Got Married. Sheesh again.
I did think it was hilarious that the guy who stole the axe was the banker.
The older lady, the LAPD Officer? When she finally got some screen time, I couldn’t stop thinking that she was Craig Ferguson’s sister. Doubt she will be as funny though.
“Woo hoo, I found the Hidden Immunity Idol! I think I’ll give it away!”
:smack:
I already hate the Douchebag Alliance on the guys team.
Goddamnit! Why do the cutest girls always leave the game so early?
She wasn’t allowed to keep it. The note said she had to give it to one of the men.
Ok, thanks, I missed that.
Decent first episode. So far I’m liking the one island format. It’s already introduced some noticeably different social mechanics, plus I’m finding it easier to keep track of everyone.
What? The asian girl’s still in it! =D
I was thrown by this comment in another thread as well. The cutest one didn’t leave. “Covered in bad tats” /= “cute.”
It seemed really likely that the woman who fell and broke her wrist was probably not coming back, so if I were on the women’s team, I would have avooided any tribal council drama until it was clear that there was going to be a vote.
