Survivor Forums

I hope Brandon is out soon, hate his guts...cant stand the Hantz family, just needs to end and be finished with Survivor...all of em.

I liked the episode though, it has potential. Mainly im looking for some new stars hopefully to emerge from the fans. Reynold has potential i think, but the dude NEEDS to get his head into the game. He was like "ill be cool with ya around camp but not too much"...and then the next scene the dude was groping the chick in bed. Just not what i like to see from players.

Anyways, i still say that the favorites cast is a joke...it really is. But the season should be decent, from the favs im lookin for Malcolm or Erik to hopefully get somewhere, i dont mind Brenda either.

I enjoyed the episode, but I was really hoping Francesca was going to get to stay a bit longer than she did. Like mcepin3 said, it was obvious as soon as she made the rock comment, she was a goner for sure.

I didn't expect much from this group of favorites, but I'm completely floored with how they all succumbed to Phillip. I mean, what. the. hell. Really??? Did they not see his season where he would get into alliances with people (Francesca, Rob) and then blab all of their alliance secrets as soon as he possibly could, usually at tribal council? I mean, if these people decide to keep him around in an alliance, I hope they realize they're gonna have to WORK. Half of the time Boston Rob spent in that season was either keeping Phillip in line or keeping the fires he started under control.

I'm really enjoying Dawn and Cochran together this season. I hope they make it far, but they need to get on the same page if they want it to work. I think Cochran had it right by trying to keep Francesca, but Dawn seems to want to do her own thing since she voted her out. Hopefully they'll get their heads on straight.

I still don't like Malcolm, so I was glad he lost that challenge, lol. I don't want this season turning into the Malcolm show again like last season where he's just dominating everything (or at least it felt like he was).

I'm really curious how Corinne is going to come off this season. She got very little screen time this episode, so I don't think she'll be a major player, but I'm hoping she'll go the Jerri route of once being a hardcore villain to coming back and being a fan favorite. But if she wants to be a bitch, I'm fine with that, too.

I'm trying to give Brandon a chance, and I thought he did a good job in this episode of staying cool, but the preview for next week shows that that's all for nothing. If that guy freaks out this soon AGAIN, then he should just go home early. I've heard rumors about what he's going to do at the camp (and I don't remember if he said in the preview what that was, so I don't want to spoil anything), but seriously, if he does what I think's coming just over him not being in the majority vote at the first tribal, he's just a wannabe player who will never have the brains for a game like this. Just like Phillip, Brandon is another example of someone who had to be constantly reined in (by Coach) during his original season.

I don't care much for Erik, but big props to him for seeing through Phillip's BS.

I don't really have anything to say about Andrea at the moment...

Nor any of the fans except for . . .

Shamar. At first I thought this guy was gonna rock. Then he starts drama within the first(?) day??? But, then he smoothed it over again by giving them fire. Hmmmm. Not sure how long to expect him around yet. If he continues to be that poor at the social game, then I think he'll be gone before merge. If he continues being lazy, he'll be gone before the merge, too. However, if he keeps having moments where he steps up, I think he'll stick around on the condition he doesn't get into any more arguments.

Good start to a season overall, they just need to boot Phillip, cause I know I for one do not want to listen to him any longer than I have to. If Boston Rob gave him some pointers before returning, and Phillip makes it far (or to the end again), I'll slap Boston Rob, and he's my all-time favorite survivor, lol.
