Survivor starts this thursday...

Have any of you heard whether they are going to show this first episode again within the next week (like they do with some premiers???). I was gone last night, and my husband forgot to tape it. He's in BIG trouble!!

Just a side note, I know one of the people on this season. I went to school with her!

That's pretty cool blue....

I wonder if the "good" camp site is so totally awesome that it represents a huge advantage. If it's only marginally better, I've been thinking it might have been wiser as a team to say, "Eh, let's not even go for it--instead, let's just take it slow and pack mule in a ton of this corn and fruit and accept the lesser site and be better provisioned."

Blue, your not going to tell us which person it is?

Yea, Blue - aren't cha gonna tell us who ya know?

Agree with the tossing the cookies thing. I didn't need to see that.

And I thought Bobby Jon was a goner for a minute there, his eyes rolling back in his head and all. I thought we might see someone carted off in the first episode.

What do you think about Mr. NFL not using his real name so nobody knows who he is?

I think Mr. NFL is such a 3rd string reject that it really didn't matter. Come on dude, NOONE is going to recognize you, and noone is going to be intimidated by a washed up couldabeen.

OUCH!

That Morgan chick. You know, the hot blonde?

The one who got booted....

yup-bu bye. Was probably trying the ride the coat tails strategy-bad move. You need to make some effort initially. That guy Rafe (sp?) was having a tough time in the first challenge....

By the way, did anyone else notice that most of the gals this season are ALREADY super think and you can see ribs on a lot of them? And the season hasn't hardly started!

I noticed Danni specifically-talk about washboard abs. And kudos for her recognizing Gary Hogeboom-I remeember him playing but wouldnt have recognized him...very impressive. `

Sorry Blue, but that Morgan chick must be kind of ditzy, or never watched the previous shows. How could she be so blind sided when she so obviously was not contributing to the tribe, or even hanging out much with anyone? the cameras always showed her off by herself. And historically, the people who don't pull their weight are the early targets.

As for the quarterback, how many years has it been since he was in the NFL? I have a friend who is a former NFL player, and once he got out of that training mode, he is a normal guy now, not overly fast or strong. So I don't think Mr. Hugaboom has that much of an advantage physically than, say, the farmer guy.

I do think his outright lie that he is not the former quarterback will come back to bite him in the a**. I think he could have gone with the, I am a landscaper story, then when they asked about the quarterback story, say yes, but that was in my past life. Now, when the story comes out, it will be everyone saying "you lied, you lied!"

Ridiculous, since the whole premise of the game is lying to best keep you chances of winning alive. I never understand that whole thing, where the players get mad at each other for playing the game. "I trusted you!" Plu-leez!

His last season with the Cowboys was I think in 1989. he was there during the time of Danny White.

That margaret chick is a nurse, how is the BOL connection with her?...is she a customer or what?...how is she connected to the bank?

Her husband works for the same bank I do.

Nanwa, I agree - I think the lie about Gary NOT being an ex-QB was a bad move, now his tribe has something to hold against him when the truth does out, as it always will. However, I thought it was pretty cheesy of Danni to go tell his tribe who he was - what business is it of hers anyway??
