I've watched their videos on youtube.

It's cool to see a bunch of new people, coz seeing the same players over and over again was annoying.

There's a lot of different people, all thinking they have the best strategy to win.

Based on first impressions, I'm looking forward to see The "brains tribe" in action, dealing with all the egos!!!
I'll also keep an eye on the girls in the beauty tribe.
The brawns tribe doesnt seem interesting.

But anyway we'll see what happens on feb 26th

 

[denvertrainer]

Can't wait! I agree, I LOVE that there are no returning players.

Why is Chelsea Handler on Survivor and why is she going by the name Trish?

 

[slipintothefog]

Two black girls being on the same season AND both being on the Brains tribe <3 Crush it girls.

 

[falconfan]

I hate to say it but the beauty tribe... I mean... that's just a random selection of ok looking people, right? Or is it just me?

 

[PATMAN]

^ could not agree more

 

[Ekim23]

Morgan is actually the only beauty ..

i cant understand why they're "so-called" beauty.

ANd the gay token is not attractive at all

 

[Sgt Pepper]

I hate to say it but the beauty tribe... I mean... that's just a random selection of ok looking people, right? Or is it just me?

And most of them aren't even OK looking.

 

[slipintothefog]

I crack up at the girl on the Beauty tribe whose hair is even more feathered than Lisa Whelchel's was when she was on Facts of Life.

 

[Spiff]

So what'ya all think of the new gang? What about the pin-up boy Garrett? Undeniably easy to look at. A bit too much so for my tastes. There are several likeable people so far; still trying to sort them all out.

Apparently you don't need to be very smart to have a PHD in nuclear engineering.

 

[Spiff]

Or to be a master poker player. . .

 

[Sgt Pepper]

Damn I feel like we lost a lot of comic potential in Garrett. Interrupting Probst's spiel to avoid a spider at the first TC, completely fucking up his own delivery at the second TC, complaining about the surviving part of Survivor, his adorable space cadet voice...what's NOT to love? And OK his body was ridiculous, RIDICULOUS.

Though LOL at David and Garrett both trying to take each other out and both going out one after the other.

 

[Spiff]

Yeah the spider thing was cute. And I admit it was too soon for a bod like that to leave. But damn, if he wasn't dumb as a bag of hammers.

 

[Taralen]

Brice, the first ever black gay survivor already making alliances on day 1. Work it girl.

J'tia and Tasha pulled some major shit. I don't know if J'tia is trolling, if Kass was trolling, or if Tasha is just super smart, probably all three, but I'm super stoked for this season and I haven't been this interested in a survivor season since Pearl Islands.

 

[Ekim23]

I'm super stoked for this season and I haven't been this interested in a survivor season since Pearl Islands.

That's exactly what I was about to write !!
That premiere looked promising for the rest of this season.
A few thoughts :

- Garrett was sooooo easy on the eye!! I was drooling LOL! But his little speech about not having fun made me wonder if he was about to quit..Ultimately he got voted out and for once I didnt see it coming with the edit !!!!!!! That feels good !!!!!

- The brains tribe is a total disaster. They all must be so disappointed to be playing in a game that's such a mess !!! I don't worry a lot about spencer because if he's smart J'tia is next to go. I have a feeling tasha & Kass will stick together and he so needs to work on that!!! (or maybe he finds garrett's idol ???)

- I feel for the beauty and the brawn tribe, but I have to admit that the brains tribe doesnt do much for me.

- I judged Morgan the second I saw her; But she really made me jump outta my seat, and clearly impressed me with her lie about the decision she made !! WOW I didnt think she could've managed to put up something like that so easily !!! She clearly won me over.

- I'm waiting to make any comment on Kass, coz I'm really confused either she's a smart player or just a lost one.

Rooting for :
- Sarah
- Morgan
- Spencer

Garret's body was so easy on the eye but that face and attitude just made me gag. If they had not of voted him out I would be hoping for the next time. Some of these people are always jerks, and J'Tai not the least of those. Spencer could be cute but I wonder where they found brains in this group. Must be up their asses.

There is not a raging hard on in the men at all but a couple of ok lookers. No favorite as yet but looking forward if I can get used to Jeff screaming at the comps. He seems to get louder and louder every season. I'm still watching though.

 

[Ohiospeedo]

Good start! Agree Garret was nice to look at, especially with that underwear he was wearing. But he was dumb and glad him and David both went home. And I agree about the beauty tribe...no beauty there.

 

[Sgt Pepper]

slip is this one of the good spoiler-free seasons or not? I'm already grateful for 1) no returning players and 2) no redemption island. 3 for 3?

 

[Spiff]

I was impressed how Sarah (the police officer) so quickly sniffed out Tony (the other police officer). No doubt he felt threatened by her ability to do that, which is why he lied.
