ATTENTION: Survivor fans!!!

[VF21]

And tonight it begins again!

Survivor Palau.

And they say it's gonna be the roughest ever. Teasers say the survivors are tossed on an island with NOTHING! They also say three survivors are gone by the end of the first episode.

Whoooooooooooooo!!!!!!

I love this show!!

 

[Twix]

Thanks for the heads up, VF! I remember seeing it on commerical, but I didn't even know tonight was the premiere.

So I'm guessing (Sac area channel) on KOVR ch. 13 at 7pm?

Can't wait!!

There's something strangely amusing about ordering a pizza on Thursday nights, sitting down in front of the tube, and throwing a major munch while watching people eat bugs for protein (at least when you know they've chosen to be there).

The ritual is back!

From what they've said in the promos today, they might not even have bugs!!!

Twix - Yep. 7 p.m. on Ch. 13.

 

[Evenstar]

oh hells yah i'm SO excited for this. it starts in 3 minutes

palau is such a pretty place i'm so excited for this one. the background shots are going to be just AMAZING!!!

 

[linzeesan]

I watched the first thirty minutes but then I had to go see my sis to wish her a happy 13th birthday. It was intriguing since they started this season off a lot different than the others. anyway, i don't wanna spoil anything.

Funny you should say that..that's what I was eating while watching it too!! Me and the guys at work ordered Luigi's and sat down for the show. (The guys at work used to tease me about watching it..now they're like.."Oooh, survivor's on tonight!!!)

 

[VF21]

Pretty interesting so far. I like the team dynamics and I especially liked the choice of the first person actually voted off!!! Looks like the "take charge pushy" type isn't going to get very far this time.

I'm really fascinated by all the wreckage from WWII. I'm afraid I'd be spending a lot of time checking that stuff out.

So much for being thrown on the island with nothing. They got the chance of water, food and fire on the first day..AND they got their work/running shoes along with the footwear they were already wearing.

 

[Evenstar]

man i loved the very first shot, of those just breathtaking islands. i am going to LOVE this season.

the beginning thing was kinda wierd. not too thrilled, it would have been nice to see the singer girl stick around a while and bug people, and the guy they didn't pick was HOT! wha was up with that?!?!?! but i was veyr happy with the person they voted off. the tattoo girl is cool, i'm glad she didn't get voted off.

survivor is back woooo hoooo!!!!

The CHANCE for water, food, fire and a tarp but they end up with nothing, nada, zip. I'm thinking I would have stuck around a bit longer looking for the trunk. The water looks pretty darned clear to me and NOT too deep for a free dive for someone in decent shape.

 

[hoopsfan]

Yeah...those stiletto heels would have helped a lot. Why would someone wear those for this show???

I dunno.

There was a time (not too long ago) when I was a lot more steady in 4-inch heels than in sneakers.

I don't think it's a matter of being steady on them so much as someone actually looking in their closet and making a conscious decision such as, "Hmmmmm. I'm going to spend the next 39 days on an island with NO conveniences, etc. What SHOULD I wear?" and then deciding the stiletto heels would be the perfect choice. I was also pretty impressed (NOT) with the red lacy push-up bra on the one chick and the black thong on the one who got voted off. Talk about clueless.

Still, that island does not seem like the worst place to be stranded. I mean, have you looked outside today? lol

As far as the clothes thing. Even before the show starts Survivor likes to trick the players by telling them to be ready for an orientation meeting or photo shoot or something for promtions and in actuality they tell them SIKE, you are leaving for the island today and they are screwed with whatever they have on. They have done this numerous times. So people are not actually choosing to wear skirts or stilettos for show. If I were on the show though, I wouls never leave my hotel in the beginning in anything other than sweats, w/ shorts on underneath, a tank top under a t-shirt w/ a sweater around my shoulders and hicking boots with socks.

It seems like each group of survivors get "dumber" as the series goes on. How many times have they made them go directly "into the game"? Do these people ever watch the show before they're on it? Wouldn't you learn how to make fire beforehand, knowing that you'll need to do that once you get there? Wouldn't you figure out NOT to be the first one to "take charge" and pee everyone off on the first show?..or be so obnoxious (singing) that they don't want you around?

Uff da!

I think I would duct tape a piece of flint in my underwear so I wouldn't have to worry about fire

 

[Twix]

I don't know if any of you are The Amazing Race fan (I am...my favorite show). But Boston Rob and Amber is it! It's on right now...(Tuesday nights @8pm Cali time. Ch 13.)

 

[hoopsfan]

Dang...I forgot about the Amazing Race starting tonight...

 

[Twix]

Dang...I forgot about the Amazing Race starting tonight...

There still doing it right now (9:10pm PT), hoopfans. It's a 2 hours special.

 

[hoopsfan]

I'm still at work!!

 

[mcsluggo]

Hard at work, I see

 

[hoopsfan]

^^ Ya caught me! Hey, I finished all my work...what's a girl to do?? (Actually I get off work at 9:30 so I was on my way out)

 

[VF21]

Okay, I'm getting ready to watch Survivor. I totally forgot last week. Something about a basketball game or something?

I've mentioned it before, but if you want to be able to catch up on what's happening on the show www.survivorupdates.com is a really good website. They also have a www.bigbrotherupdates.com, which I also enjoy. In fact, they may also have one dedciated to the Amazing Race.

I promise not to discuss the show until after 9 p.m since I understand some of the West sees it at 8 and not 7.

 

[Evenstar]

i hope i can watch it tonight, it depends when we go to play pool.

theres one HOT guy, on the tribe that has been losing, he looks like eric bana. i think his name is bobby john. other then that i haven't really picked who i like yet.

 

[VF21]

GOOD EPISODE so far! And pretty unique challenge.

 

[hoopsfan]

VF, were you the one that watched "Project Runway"??

 

[VF21]

Yep.

 

[hoopsfan]

What did you think of the finale?
