Survivor: Gabon

[PeteyPirate]

This might be a first: a gold-medal-winning Olympic athlete, Crystal Cox, will try her hand:

I think they've had an olympian before, I don't think they were a gold medalist though. I know they've had a professional athlete with Gary Hogeboom.

Hey he went to Central Michigan but he didn't play ball there!

That's what he told Dani - I think - when she outed him as Gary Hogeboom. Said he wasn't but while he did go to Central Michigan he didn't play football there.

It should be Survivor: Angola!

Make sure you watch the premiere, if this plays out like Palau. There was a female (name escapes me) heptathlete who competed in the Pan-American Games and only missed out on the Olympics due to turmoil in her personal life. She tried to be a tribe leader, but when her tribe (Ulong, worst tribe in Survivor history, which featured the legendary Stephenie) lost the first immunity challenge, she became the target, and her ousting put them on the fail express.
I'm afraid Crystal will be a big target early.

Nobody survives Angola!

I predict two things based on the first 25 minutes: Gillian is out as soon as they get the chance and Sugar's boobs are out for public consumption before the end of the third episode.

I'm embarassed to admit that over the past few seasons, I have become a 'Survivor' watcher.
The GF watches, and I drifted into it.
I'm DVR tonight's premier. I'm still at work and then have class in 20 minutes.

Might not want to read further on this thread until you watch the episode. That said ....



































I think prediction No. 1 is about to come true in the next few minutes. Hopefully, No. 2 ain't far behind!

Good cast, could be a solid season.

I kind of dug that first girl voted out. I think she might have been the first Survivor ever to get blurred out because you could see her cooch through her undies.

And I say this with an unblemished record of heterosexuality, but I think the dudes are better looking than the women this year. Maybe they did some marketing research.

Any time there is blood, blurred bodies and medics is a good sign for a strong Survivor season. One of the things I don't like about the show is that they clearly go out of their way to recruit players who haven't seen the show. While I'm sure this makes for better TV, you end up with people who have no clue, making the same idiotic mistakes early season after season.

G.C. would take about five minutes to get on my nerves. "Call me G.C. or G. Sizzle." How about I call you moron and give you a double helping of STFU?

 

[DanOregon]

I don't care what you want me to call you douchebag, just tell me how to spell it out on the card.

I'm sure it won't be long before that happens. How many freaking times has he already told people not to tell him what to do? Lose the attitude, G.DoucheSizzle.

Probst has this game figured out. He kind of beat a leader out of that tribe because he knows that will create drama. The "leader" tag is the dumbest part of this show. All it does is give the other tribe members a cheap excuse to vote someone off. It never fails, they all know it yet nobody wants to admit it.

I'm glad, glad, glad Gillian was voted off. Man was she annoying. She almost died on the hill while her team was getting their asses handed to them, and she went and talked about how great everyone did. Then they voted off the one girl who actually got up the hill because she was pretty honest about how ****ty everyone was.

And the Olympic athlete looked like a crap athlete. Dress or no dress, shouldn't a gold medalist be able to climb a hill better than a professional video game player? Hello?

What's with the guys wearing suits? I could see wearing a suit if you had a bunch of clothes on underneath. Then, you might be able to win some friends among the women by giving them your jacket or pants when it gets really cold as long as you have something else like shorts or sweats or something underneath. As for GC's tribe, it might prove to be the worst/dumbest in Survivor history.

 

[ArnoldBabar]

I think they ask people to wear what they'd normally wear for work, and often the start of the game is sprung on them -- they are told they're going to a cast photo shoot or something. You've got to think if those guys had had the option of playing the game in a full set of jungle gear from REI, they would have. I assume they're not just morons.

Also, I kind of liked that the one guy made a bow tie out of his buff. That was amusing.
