   Russell’s look drives me to distraction in a purely negative way. Having long stupid hair does not disguise the fact that your hairline is receding. Neither does painting that large bald forehead white mask what’s going on underneath. I really wanted him to go. Damn you Zane you evil genius. lol

   Michael needs a helmet, some gloves and elbow and knee pads. The guy is just one big walking accident and makes me nervous. I like him but can’t handle watching him get another big injury. He’s like that knight from Monty Python. Or maybe more like OJ Simpson from the Naked Gun movies.

   Loved the challenge and just like you I am on the I Heart Malcolm bang wagon. *swoon*

   “I’m not even going to pretend that I don’t find him to be ADORABLE, so apologies in advance because you are going to have to listen to me talk about how cute he is for the rest of the season. Deal with it.”

   Step Away! He is mine! I have been spreading a rumor that he is Gay so Gals like you will leave him alone!

   Skupin scares me – the way he was trying to cut the coconut with the machete pointed right at his hand worried me that he could have cut his fingers off! I am a klutz but he is a walking disaster-in-waiting. I don’t have any favourites yet but bi-Malcolm is cute… Loved the recap, PottyMouth!

   @Aholic – I read Malcolm’s bio and you are absolutely right, he sounds like a total tool. It just gets douchier and douchier as you read on. Sigh… (He was my 1st pick for eye candy too, but douche nulls hotness)

   I doubt I would have rooted for Zane, but it sucks that he didn’t get to stick around a bit longer. I was quite entertained by his trailer park frankenstein antics & crazy eyes.

   How much producer **** has Penner been sucking? He was ok but I’m not sure I want to watch him play a THIRD time. I’m not a fan of the medical evacuation twist. Blegh.

   Seems like you gals ought to enjoy those snake shots? No? Why are you so hard to figure out? Whine.

   Was Russell such a douche his first season? Wait, that was the first Hantz season, right? So he was just eclipsed by the other Russell. Guess he’s making up for lost time then.

   Juggs needs a better bikini. All that underwire support. No. Hopefully she’ll take a clue from Miss Teen Utah.

   I think Frankenstein shot himself in the foot by telling the others Russell had the idol — they might have voted to keep him otherwise. Or maybe that was just editing. In any event, what kind of idiot signs up for Survivor completely out of shape?

   Speaking of which, there a lot of bikini love this season (I don’t care if Dawson’s a crazy cult member, she’s hot). But I’m all for the sex therapist gal.

    I’m loving this season so far. I liked Redemption Island and One World but it was irritating to see two people (Boston Rob and Kim, respectively) dominate the game while everyone else just shuffled their feet and let it happen. I guess I had a similar problem with South Pacific, but I hated that season because I hated Coach and the Upolu tribe in general (minus Sophie, who was cool in the rare moments she was actually given airtime). I love Boston Rob, and I also think Kim is one cool, savvy player, but a season just isn’t fun if there’s no real sense of competition, and the show has been missing that for a while.

    However, it looks like a lot of the new players came into this seasons with their game faces on, and I like that. Denise, Malcolm, Dawson and R.C. all seem very smart and, at no extra charge, likable. Well, R.C. could get very grating very quickly, but it all depends on how she plays it. Her laugh is seriously irritating. Does she remind anyone else of Eliza from Vanuatu and Fans vs. Favorites? I like the fact that we have three tribes. Smaller teams mean that people aren’t going to be able to hide and fly under-the-radar. Even Angie, who I was expecting to get a Purple Kelly edit, looked like she was actually playing the game.

    I also like the fact that we have a new location after six seasons of alternating between Samoa and Nicaragua. The Philippines are gorgeous and the challenge was our first legitimate swimming and diving challenge in eight seasons. (That dorky pool in Nicaragua and Redemption Island doesn’t count). So in all, I’m really excited for this season. I hope Jonathan and Russell go pre-merge, though. Jonathan’s already had his second chance and Russell irritates me. Michael can stay because he really is an old school, iconic contestant. Plus, I like him!

    I’m OK with the medical evacuation twist, but not with Penner – he had his legitimate chance at a full season. Maybe no one else wanted it because I don’t think Probsty likes him too much. I’m rooting for Skupin though.

    My mom and I had a big fight about Blair – Mom is under the impression that everyone should recognize Blair because the Facts of Life has reruns. I pointed out that all these punk kids on Survivor wouldn’t know who she is because she has changed a little and if you didn’t watch the show originally but only saw reruns, you might not put two and two together. And since your average Survivor contestant is a little overly involved with themselves, they wouldn’t realize it anyway. Looks like I won since the only person that recognized her straight away was the old guy. Suck on it, Mom!

    As bossy as Russell was, it was clear that he had a real handle on his original tribe and I bet had he been playing, Hantz/Natalie wouldn’t have been a final two that season. But, be that as it may, he is starting off really badly this year and it doesn’t seem like he’s bonding with his tribe, which is even worse for him than Lisa/Blair since Jeff wants the returnees to at least make the merge.

    I’m not so enamored by Penner; to me, he’s the run-of-the-mill Survivor villain who will eventually get blindsided. I know people hated Colton, but he would have been deserving of a second season, considering he was playing strategically (albeit, bitchily, as well) and it would be cool to see if he’d adjust his gameplay or if he would play the same way. Plus, it would have been cool to see how not being a returning “alpha male” would have impacted the tribal dynamics, whether positively or negatively.

    Malcolm is mine.

    Posted September 23, 2012 at 11:06 am

    Derek: I think Probst said shortly after One World that Colton was so uncomfortable to watch that he’d never be invited back. He wasn’t a “love to hate” villain. People just hated him. If the show is still on in a few years, though, it might be interesting to see him back to see if he has learned anything. He was only 21 in One World and he has plenty of opportunities to grow and mature.

    I also agree that Jonathan is the weakest of the three returnees. He had a chance to see what he could do — his first season, Cook Islands — and he was next in line to go home on Fans vs. Favorites, anyway. He never seems to gel with his tribe and is always in the minority, scrambling and trying to find hidden Immunity Idols. It’s a game we’ve seen twice before and I don’t really care to see it again.

    I think Galu was just a physically stronger tribe than Matsing. I’m not sure their success in Samoa really had that much to do with Russell’s leadership. Also, Foa Foa was just completely incompetent thanks to Russell Hantz’s sabotage and nurturing of paranoia. He never allowed a team to form, and that’s why Galu swept the challenges that season. I’m not sure if his presence would have kept Hantz and Natalie from reaching the end. It was Natalie’s decision to turn the Galu girls against Erik that caused Galu to splinter, and I don’t know if Russell would have been able to stop that.

    Heh, I was kind of hoping baseball guy gets sidelined because of his injury (although they dropped that storyline pretty quickly — how was he able to compete in the challenge?). And I’m guessing RC Banker isn’t doing all that well, since she has the time to go on television — for a ‘measly’ one million dollars.

    But I definitely hate the returning players thing. That Skupnik guy is a total klutz — I remember him as being an overeager camera hog from his season and I was glad that he was gone (though I didn’t wish for him to fall into a fire). I kind of like Penner, but that’s because he’s one of the rare contestants I can sort of relate to — which means, yes, his gameplay blows. The other Russell’s just a blowhard, he’s just lucky his team needs to keep him around for the challenges.

    It’s just a matter of time before devout SDA girl outs baseball guy’s hidden secret identity, and after that it would take a miracle from the Almighty for him to win. If I were playing myself, I wouldn’t want a rich guy to win either, but sitting at home in my recliner, I kinda do.

    Big titty banker babe probably works as a junior associate at some investment banking firm being as young as she is, rather than some high-powered hotshot making the deals and calling the shots, so yeah, I doubt that her net worth is in the tens or hundreds of millions just yet. And seeing as how some reality show players have been known to embellish their background, it’s even possible that she is an intern.

    Once the true identity of Jeff Kent comes out, he will either be cut quickly, or kept around for quite a while. He was a very good baseball player and made a ton of money. He may be a perfect player to take to the end, because no one will vote for him to win knowing he’s a millionaire. He also is not known for being a very nice guy and he has a bad temper. He actually got in a shoving fight with Barry Bonds when he played for the Giants. He was never liked very much by his teammates. I’m ready interested to see how things pan out. As far as his injury, he played injured a lot, so it is possible he really is hurt and doesn’t want anyone, including the medical staff to know.

    I’m with you, Potty, re wanting Russell to be sent home. I had forgotten why I was so glad he was pulled off the other season he was on. Couldn’t stand him then, and it’s still the same feeling.

    @Pink Top: I’m not fond of Penner either, but it could have been worse…they could have brought back Colon instead.

    Skupin is so klutzy that I now understand why/how he fell into the first in Season 2. I fear for his life!

    I would have preferred to see “Colon” return this season. Curious if he could change his game plan or personality… I doubt he could diva any of these 3 groups and would have offered no “experience” or “strength” to any of the teams… On 2nd thought, perhaps his return would not be beneficial but would certainly have created a bit of drama!

    @PGY, my memory of the tribal names/dynamics escape me once the season ends. I have to believe that Russell’s tribe kind of lost their momentum after his medical evacuation and would have kept their killer instinct, had he still been there. However, you make great points as to why that might not have been the case.

    I know this has been mentioned in the past, but now after twenty-five seasons, I’m ready for a season of first boot returnees. It would be cool to see who would be the perennial first boot and who would actually develop a strategy to win.

    Hey Pottymouth:

    Sorry to hear about your dad and the hot sauce. You know, we all have to remember that our parents aren’t perfect and we have to forgive them.

    I’ve never heard of Jeff Kent. The only baseball player I know about is Mark McGwire and that’s because he’s so dreamy and has those big arms.

    That pig never did anything but run around looking cute. Maybe, Skupin’s falling in the fire was KARMA?

    I didn’t notice massive jugs but massive jugs aren’t on my radar. Is she really on this show?

    Malcolm has to take off his shirt and walk around in his underwear before I can decide whether or not I like him.

    Things that make you go Huuummmm
    Out of 18 players and 3 tribes two clues have been found by (gasp) former players (gasp).
    While I have done some stupid things for love (or lust) like learning to Irish Clog Dance (fail) and Parachuting I can’t imagine this chick being SO into her boyfriends obsession with baseball that she can recall a player from years ago without a doubt – unless she has a photographic memory.

    I wish Mr. Baseball would have done more than shove Barry superfraud Bonds. If Kent came out the asshat in that incident then WOW he must be a real douche as Barry Bonds is a dick (oops I mean cheating, lying dick)

    Gordon Gecko Jugs is bossy and condescending what a great combo – she needs 2 go.

    I don’t know, I remember Jeff Kent because of the same reason as that girl; I watched A LOT of San Francisco Giants baseball that year. Next to Bonds, he was the next biggest star on the team. Plus him being such an ass, he was fairly well known. Between the Bonds and Kent, the Giants had a large amount of douchiness on the team.

    But I agree with you about questioning the fact that the clues have been found by two of the veterans.

    While dutifully researching the very important question of boobage, I came across this:
    http://deadspin.com/5072189/jeff-kent-has-had-enough-of-your-gayness

    Also, he’s (this year’s reality fashion accessory) a mormon.

    So is Miss Teen Utatas. Who apparently has been doing a bit of boob-doping of her own. You’d think these churches would be against mutilating one’s body for the sake of vanity. And why are the mormons hitting on reality tv so hard? Does it have anything to do with that boob of theirs running for president? At least he truly is a real boob.

    Anyway, I’m officially on Team Ms. Banker Naturals. Step aside, crankyguy.

    itchy, if you’re on the west coast and haven’t seen epi #2 yet, I have to tell you that you are in for a special treat — praying in tongues! Even Li’l Hantz never did that.

    I’m on the West Coast of France… but yes, one of the truly memorable moments in Survivor history. I kept wondering how many commandments she was breaking.

    One of my Fav moments in the History of TVG..

    Itchy went on Vacay.

    I asked, “Where does someone go when they already live in a destination country?

    He replied “New Jersey”.

    Given what the alternative is, Romney is, sadly, our best hope.

    Other than her kid on DWTS and her ability to spy on Russia from her front porch, she is soo no longer relevent.

    It was Tina Fey as Sarah Palin who said she could see Russia from her front porch, not the actual Sarah Palin. And the fun hasn’t stopped yet, because Julia Louis Dreyfus just won an Emmy for mocking Palin.

    @crankyguy,

    Tina Fey on SNL dressed as sarah palin said “I CAN SEE RUSSIA FROM MY HOUSE”

    Palin’s actual quote was: “FROM CERTAIN PARTS OF ALASKA YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE RUSSIA”

    I then took the liberty to embellish it a bit more and accused her of spying on Russia from her front porch. Making fun of folks like her is just, well, it is fun

    @cranckyguy, the one mocking Sarah Palin was Julianne Moore in Game Change! Here’s hope that the Oscar next year goes to Obama 2016–Dinesh DeSouza!
