Survivor Season Premiere

Cafe Society
21

It’s always depressing how the alpha males vote each other off right away. Depressing for me anyway. There goes my eye candy.

It makes a certain sort of sense I guess. If you manage to be the sole remaining AM, you might get lucky and go on an immunity run.

But, you’d think they’d figure out that as a group, they’d all go a lot further in the game by sticking together and voting out the scheming weaklings. Being the sole AM in a group of people who have probably schemed their whole life is a pretty precarious position to be in.

22

The usual mix of occupations (or lack thereof) this time:

Benjamin - Soccer coach
Brendan - Entrepreneur (“Really! I’m not unemployed! I’m a consultant!”)
Candace - Attorney
Carolina - Bartender
Debra - Middle School Principal
Erinn - Hairstylist
Jerry - US Army Sargent.
Joe - Real Estate Sales (“Really, I’m not unemployed either!”)
James - Cattle Rancher
Sandy - Bus Driver
Sierra - Model (nah, no comment. Fish in a barrel)
Spencer - 19, Student
Stephen - Corporate Consultant (ok, so he admits he’s an unemployed drifter)
Sydney - Model
Tamara - Former Pop Star (hmm, I’m seeing a pattern here)
Tyson - Professional Cyclist

23

Wow, Candice has huge jugs. She’s probably not getting voted off first.

24

How many adults with actual jobs can realistically take off for six weeks?

25

Five: Carolina, Debra, Erin, Jerry, Sandy.

26

I would say Candace (attorney) would have a harder time arranging it than Carolina (bartender).

My point was that people with hardcore, year-round careers are always in a minority.

27

Candice no longer practices law.

Fair enough.

ETA: it is a shame that this is so; some of the more interesting cast members have been career people of one sort or another.

28

Tonight?!? Holy crap! I didn’t know…

SO glad I popped into the SDMB today!

29

I fucking hate Sandy and we’re only about 20 minutes into the season.

30

Can she possibly really be that stupid? “What’s a pace?” Omifuckinggod.

31

My wife told me it’s not that she doesn’t understand the word pace; she’s just not sure how far to step to make a correct pace.

I thought she literally didn’t know the concept of a “pace.”

What did you all think?

32

I’m with you – she was coming across as never having heard the word “pace” before.

33

I am here to say that Sydney is the most beautiful woman that has ever appeared on Survivor.

I think that Sandy does have some concept of a pace, but she is still to annoying to stay long (I hope.)

34

All I know is that I’m hoping for a night-vision J.T./Spencer/Joe three-way at some point. Whoo…

And I don’t like Tyson, just on first impressions.

And I think Coach has the potential to be a seriously pretentious ass.

35

I liked Sierra. Hopefully she gets a second chance, although the twist itself was underwhelming.

Coach is yet another alpha male who only wants strong people to survive. Great.

Sandy is an idiot.

That is all.

36

Anyone else have an opinion? My wife and I are counting on the Dope to figure this out.

:smiley:

37

I don’t think Sandy had any clue as to what a “pace” is.

38

IMO, Sandy thinks PACE is a salsa.

Looks like TPTB are going to pay the pixilator guy overtime this season. Between the naked Mormon and the cameltoe and the wrestling challenge next week.

Taj (black lady) needs to find a new way to tie her shirt. That knot really skeeved me out.

39

Sandy has Crazy Eyes, so I think she’s a little nutty. The impression I got was that she had no idea what the word pace meant, not that she wasn’t sure how many inches or whatever were in a pace.

40

Yes! It looked like she had balls hanging out.
