Survivor: Gabon


Kicked off last night. Two tribal counsels already. Looks like another good season - Contestants don't seem to have as much character as previous shows but I am sure that will change.



could not find an existing thread, if it existed (I was surprised)

Yeah and the one team absolutely sucks and makes dumb decisions. They might not win a challenge honestly they are that bad. When they were picking teams you were just sitting there like umm do you know what the hell show your on? They were picking moms because moms stick together when they were strong guys still to be picked? They deserve to lose and keep losing I mean the first elimination instead of getting rid of the old lady that can't do anything they got rid of a young girl that out ran and performed all of them in the first challenge? They are so stupid its comical.

My early thoughts. The ex olympian is either throwing challenges or she must have really used some good steroids when she was in the Olympics, I expected her to be a much stronger competitor?

I guess Michelle was just too negative but frankly I agreed with her the whole we gave it our best effort keep your head up stuff was crap, they were awful and someone needed to say it.

I agree on the bad decisions. When they made the fishing hook I wanted to scream at them. first they start fishing off the bank when there's a boat right there(which they said they did use so they must have done it later). Then they caught "sardines", unless I'm mistaken they were fishing in a lake so those weren't sardines. And what they caught is "bait" not food, you're supposed to take one of those "sardines", hook it through the mouth, go out in the lake in the boat, and exchange the "sardine" for one of the bigger fish like the other team was catching.

It's the whole idea of nature if there are little bait fish like that you just know there's something bigger out there that eats those little fish.

To be fair they were clever enough to make their own fishing gear I give them credit for that.

I also thought it was interesting how both teams chose to cannibalize the partial shelters to make one working shelter instead of trying to repair several of them ? I guess that was the easy way take advantage of what's already there but it seems like maybe having multiple shelters could be handy and come in useful. Or just take the existing ones and combine them into one big one.

It continues to amaze how every season people show up in a suit and tie or a dress when they know they're going on survivor and the odds are at any minute the game is going to start and they're going to be in the clothes they have for the next 39 days.

That one guy got back from exile island and put his shirt and tie back on for the tribal council, that seemed a bit weird to me.

Good first show though looks like it could be another good season.

Not Hot but I would have kept her around because she is 10 times the competitor compared to the 2 older ladies they had at the time. That team is gonna get killed until the show has to step in and even the teams up or something. It all started with picking the teams they just made dumb ass decisions.

I didn't think she was that good looking, but that video game nerd was sure into her. I thought it was a pretty good start. I've been saying for a couple seasons now that if any show should be in HD it's Survivor. Actually, I've been saying that about Arizona highways as well, so I'm satisfied since both of them are in HD now. If I was the guy who went to exile Island I would have sworn on my mother's life that I didn't find the immunity idol. I think at this point in the evolution of the show if you don't find the immunity idol you better make darn sure people know you don't have it.

I'm actually embarrassed the gay guy because he is so goofy over the other guy. They seem like they could be a strong alliance.

Do they ever worry about somebody getting eaten by a crocodile or a hippopotamus? I often wonder if the show puts in some sort of animal alarm that we never see as viewers.

Lastly, this might be the best looking batch of survivors yet. I mean overall this is a very attractive group.

Should be a fun season.

Joe

Joe maybe the figured since its in HD they had better be a better looking group ha. I was thinking as that girl got voted off and she spoke man when they showed her face close up in HD that almost made me with it wasn't in HD. Think about after they have been there for awhile always with the bug bites and everything else they are gonna looked messed up.

When she was trying to get the bugs off on exile island I thought we were going to get some major blurring out she seemed to almost forget there were cameras on her for a second when she started pulling down clothes.

Definitely cute although I hate the knee high socks.

The ex Olympian finally showed her athletic ability, she was the difference in pulling the guy over the finish line in the reward contest.

Characters are building, I am liking the show.. So far so good. I don't see Sugar as attractive as many others apparently, I actually thought either Ace was going home or that Sugar was going to be blindsided. Those male female pairings always ends in one or the others early eviction... I never know why they do that.

While the people as a whole seem to be more attactive than in past Survivors lets not got crazy. Not sure that any of the women are smokin hot, their are a few attractive ones though. Diamondbacks how old are you I mean you can turn on any channel and see much more attractive women just curious as you seem to be stunned at the sight of a pretty girl.

Decent episode last night can't believe a physics professor could figure out a simple number puzzle. Should get interesting but really they just made the other team stronger as they were able to get rid of Paloma their biggest weak link. This team should still dominate the other team as the other team is in complete disarray with no leadership and questionable members to say the least.
