I swear I don’t know if I can handle 13 weeks of “Jerri Loves Benji”. Seriously.
What happened? I didn’t catch it.
she fumbled with the pen to write the name on the parchment. Seems like she was hamming it up for the camera though.
She picked up the pen, and she had this wondrous look of bewilderment on her face. Inspected for a couple of seconds, finally pulled it apart, shouted "Eureka, with a look of accomplishment.
I am only lying about the “Eureka” part
btw, looks like the brainpower is on the side of villians, and the brawn is on the heroes. I hope to see the villians take over, or heroes turning into scumbags to get farther in the game.
Spoiler Speculation
I’m guessing he stays. If someone actually goes home for injury, they won’t actually show who it is in the “next time.”
talking about what’s in the spoiler, so it’s speculation dealing with it
but did you see him fall? and the way he looked so out of it with the med support team coming? He looked like he was in bad shape.
Yeah, but that’s the hook.
Anyway, back to the episode we’ve seen:
Did none of Heroes practice puzzles in the off-season? How many times how we seen a team get a commanding lead in the physical part only to blow it on the puzzle?
Also, why is it that I like Rob more nad more with each appearance? I loathed him in his first season, disliked him in All-Stars, and started him to like him in the Amazing Race. Now I’ve got a full-on Coach level mancrush on him.
I was really looking forward to the 2 hour premiere tonight. But I thought it really dragged on.
kudos, to Boston Rob for starting a fire without flint. At least, Randy was not a turd in the punchbowl today. Anyone think those chickens were planted? It seemed funny that this crew could catch the chickens with ~10 minutes when it took Erik several days to trap the chickens last season. Didn’t Boston Rob go chasing after wild chickens in his first season?
And I still don’t like the violent challenges where people can get hurt. I had to cringe (just like everyone on the island) when they popped Stephanie’s shoulder back into place.
I love the violent challenges. More intensity, more to lose even if you win.
wasn’t the fire making without the help of any aid other than wood, a survivor first? Seriously Boston Rob gets better with age. He was the shitty “godfather” at first and kept upping his image with more TV appearances. I hope he catches on to Russell’s ways before it’s too late.
I just don’t like anyone going out because they were roughed up someone else.
One of the girls in Fiji (Michelle?) started fire without a flint. Yao-Man started fire by putting a drop of water on his glasses (basically making it a magnifying glass)
really? i don’t remember the girl doing it. I did remember Yao-Man but he used something other than brute force and wood. I was almost certain this was a survivor first. Oh well, it was an accomplishment… no idea why it would be, don’t people prepare for these things?
Me too. They always get my blood boiling. They’re also more fun to follow… some of the other ones (especially the puzzles) are difficult to really tell what’s going on.
Might have just been the way he gets edited too. The producers are always looking for some good storylines. In his first appearance they definitely tried to play up his buddy role with… I don’t even remember, but it clearly changed later on when the producers realized that he’s far more captivating on his own.
I think his bit with the fire just solidified his position as smartest Survivor, at least in terms of tactics. (You could argue that Russell might be the best overall Survivor strategician, but if I want a guy on my team to help me win challenges or do smart stuff at camp, gimme Boston Rob anytime).
I am also in the now liking Boston Rob Camp. I wasn’t a fan of his until last night. Maybe it’s because I truly loathe most of the other Villains that Boston Rob has become likable.
Coach and Jerri sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g.
Makes me want to vomit.
Agree with you guys – and with everyone else who’s impressed with him. Seriously, who’da thunk so many of us would come out of the first episode rooting for Boston Rob? (And how many reality show stars say shit like “I’ve matured” and not have it be total BS?)
I didn’t watch Australia, for reasons that are far enough in the past that I’m a wee bit blurry on them, so I don’t know Jerri. My vague recollection was that there was a woman who just wouldn’t STFU about inappropriate stuff in the middle of the night when people were trying to sleep … was that that season? And was that Jerri?
But yeah, her hooking up with Coach, high-larious.
Sugar and Colby though, very sad. I liked Sugar in her original season, but she came across as seriously useless last night, happy to see her go.
Colby is great and Sugar was OK in her original season. However, I don’t think she was all that ready to go again.
So awesome. I’ve been looking forward to this season for a while. I love that they brought back folks from way back (Jerri and Colby)–I’m curious how they’ll do against more modern Survivors.
Sugar didn’t seem up to it, true. Love her two handed flipping off, sans bra, in the challenge, though. I cheered for her with that one.
Russell is already up to his hijinks, and I am very interested to see how he does against people who actually know how to play the game. Parvarti is my least favorite player ever, so I hope he works her over royally.
I don’t remember why Danielle is a villain and Candice is a hero. Would someone clue me in as to why they suck and rule, respectively?
By my count, at nearly half the players either won the game (JT, Sandra, Tom, Parvarti) or were in the top 2 or 3 of final tribal council (Amanda, Russell, Colby)–am I right? Who else made it to final TC?
The fire making without flint was pretty awesome. Meanwhile, Rupert couldn’t do it WITH the flint.
I wonder if the production provides both teams with the dry kindling ‘straw’, whether they have the flint or not. Seems like that stuff would be hard to find in the rainy, damp forest.
That, alone, should have given her a free pass. An all-time Survivor highlight. Not that there hasn’t been inadvertent pixilated boobage before, but to say “screw it, I’m heading for the finish line topless…and, btw, f*** you” was awesome.
No mentions at all of Exile Island or HII’s. I wonder if they’re going back to bare-bones original rules, or if they’re just saving the wrinkles for later.
I think they showed them “shaving” it off of a branch with the machete.
