A New Beginning
Wow, it seems like it has been forever since last season. Obsessing over Corine and Randy. But now it is time to Clean the slate and start all over again.First Impressions
When Jeff says this game is all about first impressions, he was not kidding. Starting off Sierra and Sandy get the short end of the deal. OR DID THEY? Trek 4 miles in 120 degree flatlands carry all the equipment for the team or fly 4 miles to your destination. Hmm…What would I have done? If I was Sandy, I would have made this statement once she found out that she was going to get to fly to camp. “I know you guys think that I am the weakest one here just because of my age. But it is not True. Jeff, I would like to trade with one of them and allow one of them to fly to camp. Can I do that.” Granted Jeff may had said no, BUT that would have been a GREAT first impression.Sick Sierra
Poor girl. Voted out because she looked the sickliest of all of them. BUT DID YOU SEE HER? She not only has a fever 102 but she gets to camp, builds the shelter, gathers wood and rocks at the immunity challenge. I do not think I have ever seen a survivor with more will power in all the seasons. She was determined to not be the weakest link. I would see her going far in the game.Final 4
LOL. Almost funny thinking about the final 4 after the first week, but I know a lot of you depend on my survivor insight when betting on the survivor pool. (Remember last season I nailed the final 4 except 1 from the very beginning)
These are in no particular order:
Sierra – I think she is a thinker and obviously strong. She also seems to be a very good team player.
Jerry – If he can play down his military role and hold back some on this abilities I believe that he can go far
Tyson – This is a tough call. I believe he will take a back seat leadership role. What I am not sure about is if he will be able to hold his tongue if he gets upset
Brendan – I have not seen enough of him but first impressions put him in a top spot. Let’s see if he can deliver.
Well there it is…The Tribe Master has Spoken

Hi Tribe Master,
How did I miss your Tribal postings of last Survivor? I'm going to have to see a couple more episodes before I can bet on final 4. I do agree with you on your assessments of Sandy and Sierra. Sierra is smart and using her skills while being very ill, put heer in good standins with all her team. They were all so excited and impressed to see what she had accomplished. Sandy blew it from the beginning. That's about all I can remember right now. I have to do some homework from last week. I am so excited that Survivor is back so soon.

I think Sandy has proven in the first challenge that she can be pretty tough. With her I think her issue will be her mouth. If she can get a handle on that and lay low she may have a chance.
I am glad you found my discussion as well. Hope to hear more from you.

Sandy may be tough but her initial selfishness won't be forgotten. And sometimes being tough can turn around and bite you in the butt. E, you know I always want to know what you know and love the spoilers. Sodon't hold back on me, please.I'm a die hard Survivor fan. It and Big Brother are my 2 favs. Keep me posted.xoxoxo

Sandy is hilarious, though. It might become annoying, though. Sierra did the right thing. I'd want the Idol, though! 
Oh, I know another twist. It might be a Spoiler. I don't *think* it's been discussed here yet. I discuss "Survivor" in so many places, that I'm not sure. 
But, if you want to know, just say so!

Umm, I never obsessed over Corinne. Most of the time, I just closed my eyes and plugged my ears and tried to pretend that she wasn't even there! 
Randy, on the other hand, is The. Funniest. Facebook. Friend. EVER! 
Anyway. Moving along.
I never even thought about one of them trying to make a deal. That would have made a huge difference probably, but oh well, we'll never know. I didn't think that Sierra should have said a word about being sick. But it worked in her favor with building the shelter. Too bad that almighty BEN (His name is NOT "Coach") didn't seem to appreciate it! (rolls eyes)
I have no clue about the Final Four. :) I do like Jerry, though. I hope that he stays one of my favorites. If he teams up with BEN, though, he may become obnoxious and holier than thou. :( Please don't let that happen!
Thank goodness that you are here to start the Discussion. I am only good at responding to them! Long live "Survivor"! :-)

Hey E!!!Good to see you found me again. :)
You know that I liked Randy from the beginning last season. He makes a great survivor villain.
Now on to the Real Deal. :)
I think Sierra telling about her sickness may be the Best move she could have made. Although I did not think that at first. But when she went back and chose to work instead of recover.
Jerry and Sierra is my "First Impression" winners.
Be sure to tell others about this discussion. I would really like to get a lot of people discussing here this season.

I like Jerry a lot. And there are at least 2 or 3 people that we saw NOTHING from. Which is why I almost wish it had been a 2 hour premiere like last season! We got to know EVERYBODY last season, for better AND for worse! There'll never be another "Eat Yo Rice!" catchphrase EVER again, 
), but I still have high hopes for this season. I do kind of like drama and entertainment. But I also want good game play. I need a few more episodes before I decide if these people have good game play or not. And if they don't, then they had darned well better be VERY entertaining for me! *LOL* I can't wait for the possible "mutinies"! Yay! :-)

And there will be plenty of those. Mutinies that is.
I love that the first vote was a blind side. that is often the mark of a good season.

Who was voted off last week? I thought it odd and not very exciting when they had the reward challenge and the Immunity challenge in one game...and spent so much time showing us the two on Exile Island...I think I asleep and missed who was voted off... or did they even vote?

Sounds like somebody is getting to big for his britches! What' sthe point of one challenge for everything!? Where's the ambition for the teams...loose and you don't get another chance. I wonder if the show is starting it's down hill slide of :no interest anymore...soon to be cancelled". It gets any sloppier and I will not bother with it.

I have a new discussion for this past weeks survivor.
Yes I was disappointed with the reward and immunity in the same challange. That is ok though as long as they do not do that every week.
Hope to hear more from you.

Jeff seems to think that we the viewers LIKE only having 1 challenge! 
He says so in his stupid Blog! Of course he also says that he wants the pretty, entertaining Castaways to stick around, and the boring, ugly Castaways to get voted off! He actually SAYS that just the way I wrote it! BOO to Jeff! :(
