It was rather good last night for the first episode! I just love those ariel views and picture shots - the landscape and scenery is just so amazing in those far off places! Just beautiful! That was rather cool that the twist was in the words! The preveiw made us think that htey were going to vote of 2 people right there based on first impressions.. and that is what they castaaways thought they were doing... but turns out, those 2 that got voted for didn't have to make the horendous treck to the camp site... instead taking a helio ride there and the chance to find an immunity idol! Then turns out when they could vote someone off.. they changed their minds and didn't vote that same person off!!! I still just don't understand why the women are always dressed in next to nothing with everything falling out of the top and bottom - lot of "blurred" spots last night! And from the previews.. many more to come. Just dont know why they don't ate least put on a tshirt and shorts! instead of a speghetti strap slinky dress! What did you think and what are your comments?

It was a good start to the season. I loved that the one girl didn't look for the idol instead built shelter. I hope that she redeems herself. That older lady was so funny~ what is a pace??? I was just laughing at her! I don't have the names down yet, so hard to discuss the actually tribe members. I was glad that they got rid of the loud annoying one.

She still has the clue so can look for the idol some other time. The problem is going to be when? I'm looking forward to getting into it this season again~ picking my favorites ect.

I'm glad that she did, too. However, knowing me, I'd probably say F it and go look for the Idol! Yeah, "What is a pace?"! I thought it was a pretty good show. Can't wait to see the drama next week!

Unless the Idol was good for only the 1st Tribal Council. I don't remember a clarification on that. And nobody else on the tribe even knows that it exists. Hmm. Well, we'll find out soon enough.

I thought it was a ok episode.it's such a shame that the pretty black hair lady is gone,i think she's really sexy,like poloma of the last season.and the old lady sandy is just anooying to me.i don't think she'll survive long.

I did enjoy the show it was good. This is my first season watching this show and am liking it so far. May even have to go back and see the previous seasons. As for the clothing I watch many reality shows and it can get pretty bad but these people are doing physical activities you would think they would be smarter then that.

I love this show! Sandi is hilariously crazy and crazily hilarious! "Coach" is annoying because his name is BEN, ugh! "The strong people are going to the end!" Uh, most likely NOT! He acts like he's all that. Jerry is cool, though. And we have another one (Tyson) who likes to get naked! Oh boy! Was Carolina really THAT annoying? Hmm, oh well. It's looking to be a good season!

He was a litte arrogant wasn't he! Tyson...on the weird side, makes me think "johnny fairplay" reincarnated! I didn't notice Carolina being that annoying either, but maybe that is how they edited it..don't show it, but surprise us with it. Guess we'll see!

I think that Tyson said that his role model was Johnny Fairplay. And that he is modeling his game after him. So, yeah. And Jeff said in pre-game interviews that Tyson is the "villain" of the season. Although I think that "Coach" Ben is supposed to be, too.

I didn't hear any of that...just the impression the guy left with me!!! I wonder if the others will think the same thing? Coach was the one that was rather "in your face" and onory!

I think Phillip is a character. He took a lot of airtime during the premiere episode. But sad that Francesca had to go. ROb was smart to take her out first because she seems to be a smart player... I am quite impressed. I really did not hold high expectations for this season and it has been good. Hopefully, things will get better and that Russell gets no more facetime than what he is currently getting.

Second episode last night was great too! Rob is doing a great job at strategizing. Pretty cool. He organized a big blind side to Matt to split a "couple". Good move. And Phillip....did you see the"famous" federal agent...in his fuschia briefs with a spear about 10 feet long..aiming at a claim to "food for dinner" and we all thought he had a possom or a sqirrel insight, judging from what he looked like....only for it to be a small little red CRAB! I thought I'd die laughing! Here he is all "animal" about catching his prey with this long long spear.... and does nothing more than knocks the little crab off the log and claims absolute victory!!! It was hilarious! And Rob played him great..just goes to show that even if you are a "federal agent"..doesn't mean you have much smarts. I mean come on...he believed Rob when Rob told him he hadn't a clue who he was voting for and wouldn't know until tribal council and he'd tap the shoulder of the person he was voting for. Come on...everyone pretty much knows how they are voting for before they get there...they talk endlessly about it prior! Next week ought to be fun...if they keep up with Phillip!

I don't think it was smart on his part to vote off Matt. Matt could have really helped them win future challenges, because if they had to start cutting off strong people (Francesca too was a strong competitor), then he will eventually keep coming back to tribal and he will be exposed as a possible candidate to vote off. It will be interesting to see, but I am hoping that Zapatera will lose the next challenge just to shake things up. It will also let us see where Russell stand in his tribe.
