Yesssssss!

crud i missed it

It was good.

Gotta love the blindside :)

Interesting beginning! They packed a lot in the first show.
What does Garrett do for a living as one of the brains? They didn't impress with their brains at all.

Garrett is a professional poker player. Supposed to be able to read people. Yeah sure.

The take I get from this is, brainy people aren't as smart as they think they are.

This team wasn't brains. They were book smart. Hopefully, they were good in their field. I was trying to figure out why a nuclear engineer thought she would be good at construction if she had no experience there.

I was pondering how such supposedly brainy people could be so dumb. Some really smart people have no social skills, and that was evident last night. I thought the lawyer lady and the young nerd man were pretty socially adept, but the other 4 were extremely lacking. I wasn't sorry to see the two who left go. They were both so cocky and clueless, and it would have been a cock fight between the two, if you know what I mean.

Je tia was interesting. I tried to put myself in that position and understand how I might act after several days of no shelter, incessant rain, no food, and no sleep. But there was no excuse for the "building" of the shelter and her behavior. She was lazy and bossy, and could not pick up the social cues from her exasperated team mates. The whole puzzle debacle was embarassing, it was like she totally froze. And then dumping the rice was just plain vindictive, but it looks like that action will come to bite her in the rump now. She is a scary individual, and I'm not sure she is mentally stable.

Extremely smart people are not the most socially capable... I am the mother of one. Lol..they were trying to out think each other.

Survivor is social..

I think Mr. Liar Liar Cop is out soon too..he thinks he's smart...he's very anti social.

I think my favorite line was from the Beauty guy..(paraphrased) "There's 2 kinds of women, hot and cute, Morgan is HOT, they others are cute, she's got to go."

Or maybe.(paraphrased).."Are you a cop? You look like a cop, You're a cop!" "I don't trust him, he's a big liar"

poor poker player...waaa waaa..why did he sign up for the show?

I would have voted Tia out the first time, I liked David he read people very well, he wanted to vote Garret or Tia out at the first tribal~~at second tribal I would have voted Ti out forsure, Garret had no social skills, but was strong in a challenge~~now what do they have???

The cop man does not bother me he is having fun and playing the game~

I was happy cocky David went, but why is Tia still there? What does one have to do to get voted out? She's totally worthless. A nuclear engineer and she can't build a shelter? She barked out orders like a drill sergeant. She's a lousy swimmer and held them up, and then Ms Brains couldn't do a puzzle? Then she pours out their rice so they starve? Man!! Don't get me wrong, I didn't like muscle boy Garrett either. What a tool. The cop is another one who's time is limited. I'm glad they don't have redemption Island this time. I like the three group idea.

I don't generally make too many judgment calls on the first episode of survivor, but anyone who dumps a big bag of rice into the fire would be voted out by me ASAP. What a wake up call for her employer, or any potential employer. If J'Tai doesn't get her way, she turns into a vindictive lunatic!

I hope that the Brains team gets their act together otherwise we will be down to two teams, Beauty and Brawn and only one Brain.

Garret wanted David out from the moment David picked him as the weakest link in the Brains tribe. It was pure vindictiveness all the way. Why didn't Garret stop to realize the fact that by David picking him, he was able to find the hidden immunity idol (for all the good it did him)? And then for Garret to whine so often that he wasn't having fun -- that he didn't come on the show to actually have to survive! Sheesh.

Here's a short article from Dalton Ross. There's a link in it to his long recap plus there's a link Q&A with Jeff Probst.

Here is a link that might be useful: recap

I am beginning to be skeptical that this show is on the up and up.

The brains are idiots. David shot himself in the foot sending Garrett out first. There is plenty of time to get rid of a physical thread later. It should have been one of the women.

After they voted Garrett off, it's game over as far as I'm concerned for the brains, except for maybe the other guy. He was shocked. That girl was worthless. And dumping the rice shoud have been the nail in her coffin. I guess I understand voting with their emotions but holy crap, they're supposed to be Brains! Absolute idiots for voting Garrett out, at least he was strong in challenges. A bawl @ss in camp for sure. He should be totally embarrassed by his behavior.

The cop dude messed up not being straight up with the other female cop. Now she won't believe that he IS a cop. Then again, on the first day, you have no idea who to trust.

Looks like we are going to have some schemers and back stabbers this season. (I hope the nfl cheerleader goes very soon. I despise the "Oh I can get anything I want, look at me" attitude).

Redcurls, my DH says it is way too scripted! He has not believed it has been on the up and up for years now.
