The 18 new castaways begin their adventure

Happy (two hour) premiere night!

[MerBearHou]

@LadyChatts hello, again!  

[Straycat80]

Evening all! Here we go! 

[Pepper the Cat]

Hello! Got my wine hear we go

[truthaboutluv]

Hi folks! This show is literally the only time I post on these forums anymore. Looking forward to a fun season. 

[iMonrey]

Was the picture digitizing at first for anyone else?

@LadyChatts hello, again!  

Hello!  Almost forgot it was Survivor premiere night.  I'm in my last year of grad school and I didn't realize how much I needed this break from reality lol

And here we go!  Everyone hyping themselves up, someone said something about burning something down, we got someone who said their head will be on Survivor Mount Rushmore, a wolf in wolf's clothing, and the inspirational story.  Yep, we're back all right.

[gorgy]

got my Applebees burger and ready to go

[Straycat80]

Those are huge goodie bags they have. Wonder what’s in them? 

[LadyChatts]

I pity whoever winds up on the old Yanu beach.  If you listen very closely you can probably still hear Bhanu crying over his million hearts.  

[gorgy]

four friends? that's four more than I had

[iMonrey]

First SHUT UP JEFF of the season.

[LadyChatts]

I don't think that one guy on the blue tribe is digging Jon. 

 

[MerBearHou]

Survivor does love its mud.

Sorry, no. I don't my podcast would even get four listeners

[Lamb18]

I don't care for Mr. Profound guy.

[Straycat80]

So far I’m rooting for the 59 year old woman, Sue. She’s a beast! 

[iMonrey]

I simply do not understand this obsession with making the players crawl thru mud.

[LadyChatts]

One thing about Survivor, you always have the potential to make it up at the puzzle.  

[Pepper the Cat]

Nice come back yellow!

[MerBearHou]

I gata give ‘em credit 🤣 

[Lamb18]

I'm glad the "losers" actually won the challenge.

Same thing the other guy said.

That's exactly what I thought.  He was scowling during Jon's little speech.

Exactly why I like puzzles even though I know some viewers are sick of them. It's the great challenge equalizer. 

[LadyChatts]

Yellow tribe (Gata) gets tribe supplies.  Great come from behind! 

The other two tribes will have to earn it in some way.  They have to pick one person and don't get any info of what they will have to do.

And apparently, the one guy on Blue (Tuku) lost by default since he threw paper when it was supposed to be just rock or scissors.  

Rome (from the Red tribe/Lavo) thinks Aysha made a mistake volunteering to go because she'll blow creating a social game.  See, this is how he's going to win the million dollars.  Of course if Asia gets some kind of advantage and actually uses it correctly her decision may not have been so stupid after all.

The wolf in wolf's clothing can go any time.

[EllenB]

I'd love a season with no damn sob stories. 

[susannot]

Is one of the female contestants an attorney?  As a retired attorney every year I root for someone to break the curse of the female attorney contestant.

I missed the first five minutes, but I'm looking forward to viewing this woman. May she be like Big Brother's Angela. It won't be dull at her camp.

[Grizzly]

We don't know who anyone is and then show covers them all with mud. Had no idea who was doing what. Thought the people who covered their faces before hitting the mud were smart.

[LadyChatts]

I ran around my house screaming when Richard Hatch won too, but for a very different reason than Jon.  

[Lamb18]

Oh, Mr. Profound is Jon on Gata. He doesn't look old enough to be a speech writer for H Clinton and Obana.

speaking for the tribe, gays age differently

[LadyChatts]

And apparently, Jon and Andy put a target on themselves (or maybe it was just Jon for pulling Andy away).  I love when the "they went off by themselves, they must be scheming" talk starts this early.

Okay, Gabe wants to work with an old person because he's an old soul.  I don't know much about him and Sue but I could go for this alliance.  And since I can't have nice things, it won't last.

Oh, and Sue's got one of the young girls (Caroline?) wanting to work with her too!  

[Pepper the Cat]

ER doc. Didn’t catch his name.

but I’m positive I’ve seen him on Untold Stories of the ER.

[Quilt Fairy]

They seriously named a tribe Lavo?

[Lamb18]

Gabe and Sue is an interesting alliance. Now Sue is getting Caroline in her alliance web.

[iMonrey]

Does Sue have her eye makeup tattooed on her or is mascara her luxury item?

[Straycat80]

Didn’t they used to show the players ages? 

[susannot]

I like Gabe and Sue.  Also,  the ER doc (Keyshawn?) and the writer (Teeny?)

[truthaboutluv]

Just now, Straycat80 said:

Yeah they did. Maybe the new audience argued against it, like the change from Jeff saying, "come on in, guys!"

[Pepper the Cat]

I like this challenge.

 

[Lamb18]

Teeny reminds me a contestant on The Bachelor several years ago. It was Arie's season.

[MerBearHou]

Genevieve — lawyer.  There ya go @susannot

[LadyChatts]

TK and Aysha are at reward challenge island (whatever we're calling it).  Only one of them will succeed in getting their camp supplies, the other one will go back with nothing.  I'm rooting for Aysha to win this, I'm afraid she might need it. 

[gorgy]

I think my fascination with this show stems from my upmost certainty that I would be the first person voted off and this whole get-to-know-you first episode alliance certainty is alien to me

[Lamb18]

TK looks like a walking statue with all that mud on.

[iMonrey]

This is dumb. They could have just given the two top teams their supplies. It's another challenge just to have another challenge.
