So, what do y'all think of the new season so far? I know it might be a bit too early to form opinions on people. But I'm sure you've got an overall opinion of how the season might be. Is it just me or did the first episode seem rather superficial and quick? Maybe it's because there are four tribes to cover instead of just two, so they had to switch camera coverage from tribe to tribe quickly, but it seemed like the episode went so fast. I might be remembering it incorrectly, but it always seemed in past seasons that much more happened in the first episode. I do like the "four tribe" twist, though. It seems like it adds a sense of urgency to tribal council & the elimination process. With there only being four members in a tribe, you really have to scramble to form allies...it's almost like it's the final four, even though it's really not! The Exile Island twist should be interesting too. Can't wait to see how that plays out, especially with the hidden "get out of jail free" idol.

It should come as no surprise, but I really enjoyed it. Those few weeks without Survivor were rough on me...
But I agree, Jason. It did seem quicker than usual, and I would assume that has to do with the 4 tribe thing. With 2 tribe, it was either here or there, but with 4, you have 4 groups of people bonding, finding camp, starting a fire, etc, and then you throw in Misty on Exile Island, so that's, like, a 5th story line!
At the same time, though, the 4 tribes almost made it easier to remember names. That's how I found it, at least. Because there's less people in every scene, you actually got to process who Terry was, and who Aras was, and who Danielle was...
It was disappointing to see Tina booted so quickly. Given that she opted out of Survivor: La Guardia so late due to the death of her son, I really wanted to see how she'd do this time. Too bad.
I'm going to go out and say that Aras is gonna win it all.

I really enjoyed the opening episode! Exile Island is definitely gonna add an extra element of anxiety and fear in these contestants.
Sad to see Tina get the boot first. I wished they got rid of Ruth Marie or something. She seems like the Tina Wesson (winnter of Australia) of Exile Island! At least, Tina had some character! Oh and I find Cirie hilarious. Hope she goes far.

I thought that the first tribal council was hilarious! The amount of comedy & sarcasm was great! I loved it when Jeff asked Cirie why Tina is the one doing all of the work & would they be able to survive without her in the tribe, Cirie said something like "What are we gonna do? Hold Tina's arm and tell her not to get wood, make fire, or catch a fish?"
And then the fourth girl (not Ruth-Marie....I can't remember her name!) goes, "It's not like while Tina's out doing all this work, we're back at camp taking a nap." LOL!
If all tribal councils turn out to be like this, it should be one of the more entertaining seasons so far.

Dammit! Here I had Misty pegged for final 5... and then she goes #3? Something's wrong with that, son!
Plus, I surprisingly kinda thought she was hot.

I really wish DANIELLE makes it! With COURTNEY with her...
Here's my forecast: 1.Danielle 2.Courtney 3.Cirie 4.Shane 5.Terry 6.Aras
(With Terry maybe using the hidden IDOL next week , Aras may go.)
