Well, there is always next year. She was really hot and I am really pissed that she is gone. Until I paid attention to the thin blonde. Wow, is she pretty!
Nutty and stupid. You can tell she will be there until the very end. I hope someone catches her with that clue after 9 days and laughs at her and then has her voted out for lying.
Good start to the season.
Great start. I already hate a couple of people, and they dumped the most annoying right away. Doesn’t look like there’s another Kenny, who I hated more than any other player in a loong time.
Another gay mormon? Is there like a club or something that CBS recruits from?
I think Sandy knew that a pace involved stepping, she just didn’t know the size of the steps.
I don’t hate her yet. Although those wimpering sounds she was making while digging for the HII, creeped me out.
I was surprised that Sandy isn’t gone, but I’ll blame the editors. Sandy came across as, hmmm… nuts. Batshit crazy. I thought she might be okay for a bit, until she couldn’t see a lone palm tree right in front of her, or count ten paces. She seemed very creepy to me during TC.
I thought Carolina was cute, until she opened her mouth. No, not the “bossy” 'tude, but her actual voice – she sounds like she’s breathing helium! Very very very annoying, and I won’t miss listening to her.
Characters I like so far:
JT (Rancher guy)
Sierra (The Sick Girl)
Not so much:
Benjamin – this season’s Ace. Withering attitude, he seems like a puffed up jerk.
Tyson – I can’t say why, but he creeps me out.
I thought it was interesting that Jeff (Army guy) is concealing his occupation. Probably a smart move. I didn’t gather much more about him this episode, but he’s one to watch.
I think his name is Jerry. He definitely intrigues me. Usually the guy that says “I’m used to being a leader but I’ll try not to step on any toes” ends up being the first one to do just that. He’s pretty good at staying in the background. It looked like he was about to go crazy while the other guys were reading the map.
After last season’s “must hide occupation to avoid being seen as a threat” character…
Heh, point taken. I suppose it makes more sense when the contestant doesn’t suck at their profession. Or doesn’t suck at or everything outside of their profession.
She also didn’t seem to know what a palm tree looks like. :eek:
I think we have the potential here for a very entertaining season.
If by huge jugs, you mean Carolina, then I’m sorry to say that “Tits McGee” just blew that theory out of the water.
The real problem was that she was storing helium in them, with a direct connection to her lungs.
By the way, Jeff Probst is blogging after each episode over at EW.com. He really loved this season of Survivor.

This could really prove to be an interesting addition to the season. He says to watch Coach and believe in him.
Another vote for Sandy not having a clue as to what a “pace” is, or what a “lone palm tree” is. Sierra had the right idea: stash the clue and look later, after doing some ingratiating hut-building. (I was surprised they let someone with strep throat play. They could take out the entire tribe)
Since I’m too lazy to look it up, what did Taj do that constitutes being a “former pop star”?
And I saw the first vote fake-out coming a mile away, because they did the exact same thing on The Bachelor this season. On Day 1, the girls all voted for someone to “leave” that night. Did I say “leave”? Ha ha…I meant, leave with a rose. And now she knows who her friends are.
Anyone Peachy likes is an almost sure indication I’m going to hate the person.
Taj was a member of the 90s R&B trio SWV (aka “Sisters With Voices”). They apparently had a fairly good run, and broke up in 1999.
Ooh…there’s a scary thought!
That was actually quite well done – do you think he really writes it himself?
Absolutely. He did them all last year and they made great reading.
About half of each newer Survivor are Hollywood wanna-bes and almost-bes. I suspect “bartender”, model, Pop-star, for sure.
As for how many can take off the time? Well, generally, you’d get back in prize money about what you’d lose from not working. Many companies will arrange an un-paid leave of absence.
Dude, this is not “that other message board”. We try not to use nick-names and if we do, let’s make them original for this MB or commonly used in the media- *not *stolen whole cloth from what someone elee once thought (incorrectly) was snarky.
:rolleyes:
