Survivor: Redemption Island Starts tonight

Anyone see what Rob gained from the amateurs?

He knows that Philip was telling the truth, and only he can be trusted for his word.

No one knew of the HII, Phillip revealed it, Rob demanded to see it as proof who is more trustworthy of the three not in his alliance. Everything Phillip said was truthful in Rob’s eyes since Kristina proved to everyone that Phillip was being totally up front by actually pulling out the HII in her bag. Kristina has absolutely no chance of getting into the good graces of Rob’s alliance. She is pretty much toast unless her tribe can win from here on in until a merge or tribe mix up. She needs to parlay the HII somehow rather than using it to stay one more week.

I don’t know why people think Fran is smart. If she was actually smart she would not have used the “smokescreen” on Rob and set off Phillip into his mistrust tirade. The way Phillip demanded to know the thought process of Kristina and Fran when told to vote Rob should ring loud bells this guy needs to know shit before doing something and he won’t blindly do things. If she wanted to use the “smokescreen”, Phillip should have been updated that this tactic wouldve been used. Fran maybe educated but very dumb on character appraisals.

He also knows that Philip can’t be trusted to keep his damn mouth shut for more than two seconds!

Dear Survivor Producers,
If you really want me to buy into this new Redemption Island gimmick, DON’T invoke Shambo as if we were all begging for more of her! “What if Shambo had gotten another chance in the game during her season?” I would have quit watching in disgust, that’s what. I mean, really? Fucking Shambo? Give me a break!
Regards,
Tangent

Best TC ever!! It was a train wreck and I loved every minute of it!! :smiley:

If Phillip is a former federal agent, then I’m a former Queen of England. He is so full of crap. Not to mention abusive, impetuous, and paranoid. And the droopy fuchsia underpants have got to go.

I was pissed when Probst gave Russell’s team a huge advantage in the challenge: “The key to solving the puzzle is to make sure that the pattern is on the outside.” Shut up, dude!

I think Francesca was completely right to want to keep Rob around for awhile. Face it, no one is going to give the million bucks to the person who is back for Round 3. Geez.

I was surprised to see that they were all given shelter building supplies right away. That speaks volumes about their living conditions.

This is Boston Rob’s **fourth **go at this…his original season, All Stars, and Heroes vs. Villains.

Not to mention his 2 shots at Amazing Race. Of course, the producers worked very hard to make sure he didn’t win TAR.

When they were in the chopper, they played an interview with him where he claimed his first & middle names were “Special Agent” for years. Does that apply to the temps as well? I think he’s just completely making this up - I think the “?” means he never told the producers about that part of his background, so they’re just going with what he’s claiming on screen, without confirming it.

Did any one see the movie Cube? If so, you know who special agent man reminds me of.

Can we please please be more specific about this. The droopy fuchsia underpants have got to be COVERED. Please don’t make them go. There is no blur that could save us.

Excellent point.

If they bring Shambo back in any form, I will definitely stop watching Survivor, and I’ve been watching since day one and probably watched 90% of all episodes when they actually aired and the other 10% online streaming or online article reading. More Russell and Rob is fine with me, but I’d rather see new and interesting people. We need a celebrity Survivor, might not be popular idea with other fans of the show, but I’d love to see it just once.

Something to be gained from the Sprint promos is that the furthest someone got who was featured in those segments was Erik from Micronesia. He finished 5th, which suggests to me that Redemption Island may be used when someone is voted out at final 5, followed by a duel to return to the game.

I think I’ve cracked the code. Philip is a dyslexic Fed Ex agent.

Apparently an outsider was at the tribes camps for the first few days. His comments.

Yahoo Answers says that Philip was a Federal Agent? for three years in that he worked for the Defense Investigative Service conducting back ground checks for people getting security clearances. Yahoo | Mail, Weather, Search, Politics, News, Finance, Sports & Videos

Help me out with strategy here. If you find the HII, why would you immediately want to tell someone. Later on when you already have an alliance I can understand it but why early on when you have no clue who to trust?

Ah jeez, a friend of mine from high school does that and I never thought of her as some kind of secret agent. What an idiot. Phil, not my high school friend.

My Bro was an IRS Agent. And the IRS has the most "Agents’ of any agency.

But the temps are not “agents”. However, yes, there are Census “Agents”.

I am rather unhappy with Russell, who cheated, being back yet again. He cheats.

I am also not happy with Jeff no longer having a real blog after each show.

  1. Because you’re dumb and you’re only knowledge of strategy is from watching other HII finders revealing theirs.

When did he cheat?

Y’all may not have caught this detail, but Phillip is a former federal agent.
