   I knew I shouldn’t have looked at this because of this season’s spoiler. Couldn’t help myself.

   Glad to see Crazy Phillip back!! I remember the rest of the guys. The girls…. not so much.

   If you remember Crazy Philip, you have to remember that first TC where he couldn’t quite pronounce Francesca’s name. But, I guess it spoils the fact that Malcolm doesn’t win, which I guess means that Lisa’s plan with Michael Skupin and Abi may actually work.

   I remember Dawn as being very physically strong in spite of being tiny.

   I’m not thrilled about bringing people back AGAIN, with the exception of Crazy Phillip. Hopefully he doesn’t realize how insane he came off last time and tone it down. That would be disappointing. Are we sure the returning cast member from this current season doesn’t win? My thought was it wouldn’t matter whether he won or lost, he could still return.

   Also, hopefully they vote the crazy Hantz out right away. He was so tough to watch, it was painful.

   @blazergirl, it was the Spoiler Alert noted above by chooch that said the returnee from this season apparently doesn’t win.

   I really don’t know if I can watch another season with any member of the Hantz family. If he is voted out first, I will continue to watch. Otherwise I will stick to the recaps until he is gone. I am fine with crazy-saggy-pink-undie-wearin Phillip because he makes for good tv. But Brandon and the rest of the Hantz family needs to go away. I don’t understand CBS’s love for them. That being said, he is still a step above Colton.

   Did anyone notice Abi’s name around the Surviver Caramoan brand at the top? Is she coming back?

   I give up. Will someone just give the Hantz Family the win, however odious they might be, and get them off my tv?

   Curious that they list Brandon as a quitter, though. I wasn’t aware that being tricked into giving up your immunity necklace, having a fair vote in which you’re kicked out, and being bitter as hell in the final jury that the guy you gave the necklace to knew you were going home is considered \quitting\. Unless \Quit 3 Years Ago\ is meant to be his occupation, in which case that’s sad.

   Also sad are the occupations \Heidik Enthusiast\ and the fact that, as I was scrolling down that list of pictures, I thought most of the women were supposed to be the fans.

    The Hantz family seem like the Kar-trashians of Survivor—Lordy

    I googled it and I’m still not sure what it means.

    And yay! for Crazy Phillip and Frankweska. Franqekka. Franqwashka.

    Hell. Just Fran.

    Wait. Does Heidik enthusiast refer to the past Survivor winner/puppy killer/porn star Brian Heidik? He of the absolutely most forgettable season of Survivor?

    I hope Malcolm is joking.

    @timgunnssister, I have to assume it’s a joke since Brian dragged Clay to the end (one of the most vile, horrible Survivor players ever…. if you think Abi is bad, rewatch that season on Netflix and you realize she’s harmless) and the whole premise of this season is that the “noble” person should win and not drag the goat to the end, which is the antithesis of the Heidik strategy.

    I actually really like the Thailand season, it was the first season where the old people were “revered” and not dismissed as useless, the whole Ghandia/Ted sex scandal, Shii-Ann getting burnt by the fake merge, Robb choking Clay, and one of my favorite Probst moments ever: when Clay writes this whole bitchy message toward voting out Ghandia, Probst yells at him and says something along the lines of, “Next time, you MUST write a name down.” Priceless!

    @Derek Hazelton, I took that spoiler alert as Chooch’s interpretation of what Malcolm’s return meant, not necessarily that it was fact. However, I have Malcolm as my winner in my Survivor pool, so maybe I’m in denial …

    Yes, it is my interpretation that Malcolm didn’t win. My thinking is that if he DID win, then he would not have been asked to join the new season as a “favorite”. None of the other returnees are winners.

    @See-Jay, I read somewhere that they were bringing back people who’ve only played once before as the “favorites.”

    Can’t wait to see Woody, er, I mean Cochran deal with Hantz. Lookin’ forward to another season full of prayer circles and weepiness.

    Other than Malcolm and Hantz, the only one I strongly remember is Mr. Phillip secret-agent-man Sheppard in his saggy pink unawares. I remember him referring to FranQuesca, but can’t remember her at all. I vaguely remember nerdy uber fan John Cochran.

    Is Hantz my punishment for bitching about Lisa? Seriously, if Malcolm really is a fan of that arsehole Heidik I knew there was a good reason I didn’t want him to win.

    Do you guys have thought of a Survivor composed only with people that were voted off first? Because I think it would be nice to give them a second chance because they hadn`t the time to show who they are.
    I`m sick already of the Hantz familly. Come on, 5 seasons with a Hantz it`s just too much.
    Who the hell are these favorites girls? Thwe boys I remember pretty well, but the girls? At least, give us some memorable favorites, not some bland girls no one remembers.
