Well, I guess it sucks if you are a great contestant and you are in your 30’s. This Fall’s Survivor includes no 30 year-olds, opting for those under 30 and those over 40.
I don’t mind the idea, actually. I’m glad that some “older” people are going to get a good shot at the game. Survivor, as many reality shows, does come under fire for having mainly young people in it.
Having Jimmy Johnson, though, seems lame.
I also see they are changing the hidden immunity idol clues, since Russell found them easily in his first game. The clues will be visual instead of written.
Not sure about this “medallion of power” idea. Apparently, one team gets a medallion of power and this gives them some sort of advantage in the challenges. I have no idea how they earn the medallion, but it seems weird.
Oh, we have a pool going as well. It’s free and easy to sign-up for. There is a thread in the Game Room, but the key info is:
It seems so strange to me that CBS Survivor would have selected a FOX Football Analyst. CBS and FOX are in direct competition on Sundays. Every time I see Johnson on Survivor, I will think it is a promo for the Fox pre-game show.
And I will be tuning in to the Fox pre-game show to see how much the FOX gang rip on Jimmy when he does something stupid on the last episode. And if he does something REALLY stupid, the gigging him all season.
I am very interested in seeing how long Jimmy Johnson sticks around, but only to see what happens to his hair. What do they use in lieu of Aqua Net / industrial strength shellac in the wilderness?
Haven’t done much recon on this one, so I have no particular favorites this time. It’s a refreshing change for me.
I hate the young team already. From the two guys in their underpants to the chick ready to vote out the chick with one leg because of the sympathy vote. GO OLD PEOPLE!!! Who have fire 30 minutes into the game. Well except for the barfing guy.
