ew.com has some nice additional stuff about the first episode.Kathy who I think is the crazy fan telling Ami that she doesn't like lesbians..smoothThe favs tried to sabotage the fans' cart and got a time penalty from Jeff for doing thatJeff didn't want fairplay on this show - seems that he got that one rightCirie will be the key in following shows as she's the swing vote between the two foursomes on the fav team.

From watching her video at the Survivor website, I'm absolutely in love with Alexis. From the favourites it all depends on which side Cirie goes to. I think she'll take the non-couples side, and therefore I think YaoMan will go deep again.

Spoiler, if you are on the West Coast and haven't seen tonights episode yet please don't read on.OK..............I thought the blindside made for great TV.........the look on Mike's face was classic, but, did anybody else notice at the very end, when they show who voted for who, that after all of the scheming to get rid of Mary by King Kong (Joel), that he voted for Tracey? If anybody has any theories I sure would like to read them.

Yea I caught that as well, I think he's one of the smarter guys of the bunch actually. I'm guessing he felt real comfortable that Mary was going to be going home from majority votes and decided to vote for Tracey to mix it up. He didn't want to vote for Chet because he wanted Chet to have only 2 votes (1 from Mike the other from Mary). By doing this Mike now becomes completely powerless. I thought the move was good but the timing was way off.. There really is no good reason why Chet didn't go home except to let Mike know he's not in control. Chet was the no brainer vote and this could actually hurt the tribe more in the future by keeping him around an extra week. The guy can't swim, he has no stanima, he does nothing around camp & is seperated with the 2 older girls.

I would rank tonight's blindside as one of the worst moves in Survivor history. Here's why:1) Hulk was on a group of seven vs three, and it appeared to be a solid seven. At this stage, it's all about numbers. If you've got seven, keep them.2) Strength in challenges is also important at this stage. If you never lose, you go into the merge dominating the game. So you vote off the weak people, and keep your strength. They lost a competent athlete and kept an incompetent one. Very bad.3) Hulk doesn't have a group now. At most he has a tenuous 5-4 edge, but everyone sees him as a schemer and a back-stabber. Nobody will trust him. It's too early to be that person. Plus, he's such a monster, they will get rid of him just for the physical threat once the merge gets closer.I predict he will not make it to the merge. There was no reason to do what he did, and lots of reasons not to. For superfans, these people are exceptionally bad players. They can't keep their mouths shut, they can't make fire, they can't build a shelter, and they are useless at strategy.Maybe we'll see a better side of them as the show goes on and the weak links get eliminated, but so far, I'm not impressed. Anorexic Courtney (last season) who never watched the show figured it out faster than these guys.

QFT, every point, excellent analysis.

I think it was a bad move aswell. The only real reason for him doing it that I can come up with is ego. I think he got a little bit jealous that the other dude was running things and had the girl by his side.

Ok, I actually only watched the first 30 minutes or so... then just had it on in the back while playing poker, however the highlight of the night had to have been during the immunity/reward challenge, when Amanda's boob popped out, and the camera got Jeff just staring at it. I enjoyed that

[CobaltBlue 662]

I was also trying to figure out why Hulk voted for Tracy. Didn't seem to make any sense to me.

[Mercury69 3]

I don't think Hulk's move was a bad move. Divisive? Yes. But undermining the over-confident Mikey's burgeoning powerbase this early was, imo, an excellent idea. Did they keep the wrong person? Perhaps, but weaklings have stuck around until pretty late on occasion. For example, Yau Man isn't exactly an Adonis and as spry as a 30 year old. Is he competent? Sure, but he's also significantly older than most, making him significant;y less athletic than most, yet many of you are picking him to go deep. I agree that Chet is pretty useless, but I don't agree with the necessity of getting rid of him this early. He will never be a threat and will be used like a puppet.Mikey had his wake-up call early and it will be interesting to see how he adjusts to having the rug pulled out from under him. He's no dope and will scramble quickly and capably to gather some new power.The favorites are cruising now, but will continually have to beat the "over-confidence" bug.

The thing is though, Yao's got numbers (probably) and if his alliance lasts until the Merge, then he'll stick around longer BECAUSE he's not an athletic threat. (Also provided his alliance stays in tact, which I immagine it would).

[CobaltBlue 662]

My brother made a funny observation. The Fans probably would've won the reward challenge if they hadn't made a fatal mistake: body-slamming Amanda. James reacted with a "JAMES ANGRY! JAMES SMASH!"

[hblask 1]

Well that sucks.I mean, I guess it's the right move for Cirie, but still, it sucks.

[king_tanner 84]

I don't think Cirie is as smart as she thinks she is. She got put in a dream position by being the odd man out for the first few days, then all of a sudden being the needed person for both alliances. If she thinks she can trust Amanda and Parvati then she is retarded. The 3 girls seems like a good idea, but Parvati and Amanda can now get rid of Cirie whenever they want which puts her at a huge disadvantage. So she was queen for 1 tribal council, but she better get back to cooking and washing everyone's clothes or she is gone. James is already annoyed with her.I actually think she would have been better off with Jonathon's alliance, she was wrong in saying that Yau and Jonathon were close, I'm sure Jonathon would stab Yau in the back any second if it would get him farther. If he had the opportunity I bet he would have taken Cirie all the way to the end.I actually like Jonathon, but he needs to keep his mouth shut sometimes. Even though he had the perfect plan, by bitching and whining he is taking the chance of aligning with others in the future.They should have just made this an all-stars season, I still don't know anybody in the other tribe.

[Mercury69 3]

Cirie is a dumbass. She's too combative and has too much of an air of entitlement. I couldn't stand her last time around and I dislike her equally this time. I'd love to see her get blindsided.Jonathan: Dude, stop yapping and "keeping it real" and you'll retain a stronger power base. I hope you go far.James and Parvati: I'd love to see the porno movies you guys are making...Fans: Nice job on the immunity challenge, but you still got no shelter or much in the way of food or helpful gear. You will need help. The Hulk was essential in winning the challenge. If Hulk and Mikey B team up for an alliance, look out...Pretty fun so far. The Fans are definitely deserving of some respect, although it's early yet. They have some brains and some athleticism, but they still have along way to go before they are a serious threat.

[Mercury69 3]

Sometimes I hate the internet...Oh, and too bad about Yau Man, but I thought he'd be alogical choice to go early,although I think he was way overrated. His strategy would have been good later on.

After watching this episode I remembered why I didn't like Cirie. She was a bitch then and she's a bithc now. I would've loved if all the tribesmembers just said, "Screw it, let's vote off Cirie!" Screw her and saying that she should be carried on a Chariot. James totally hates her, I loved it when he said something along the lines, of it was like being back in China, he's dealing with a bunch of idiots. lolAnyway, the couples have the numbers now and if anything they would be smart in voting of Cirie, it would definitely help out the tribe as a whole. Also what gives with Eliza also voting for Yau-Man? Is she in an alliance with Amanda and Parvarti?

huh? It didn't take me anytime at all. As soon as I saw her name listed in the original press release, I was pissed. I hate Cirie... always have, always will.

[hblask 1]

I'm surprised at the dislike for Cirie here. I think she's a character -- the sassy couch potato with the quick wit, and I find her hilarious. In her other season, she had the sense to be quiet and stay in the background until she needed to make a move, then did what she needed. So I'm sort of confused here on why she's letting herself get involved in a confrontation with a loudmouth at this point in the game. Didn't she understand how she made it so far last time? She seems to think about the game pretty clearly, but arguing with Jonathan was a big mistake. She needs to regroup or she won't last long.But she is right about the other women having no chance against Ozzy or James. That doesn't mean those women won't let their romance get in the way of their clear thinking -- so that could be a big flaw in her plan: assuming that Parvati will think with her head.

I think it was a done deal that Yau was going, so Eliza was going with her tribemates. CBS was trying to make it look like Yau had a chance just to make drama. Amy voted for Cirie even though there was no chance she was going.

[troyomac 0]

Wow, I didn't think Cirie would pick those 4, Penner may have cost his alliance the chance to go deep by arguing his tits off with her. I've always liked Cirie, I think she has some witty one-liners and cracks me up. I'm glad I'll get to watch Amanda and Parvatti for a while longer.I really like this season so far.I'll miss YaoMan though.

Couldn't stand her then can't stand her now.

QFT. I would hook up on the first night too if they were on my season.Anyways, on the fans side, I can't stand that Hulk guy. He thinks he's pretty brilliant with his early move, but I don't see that getting him anywhere. I like Mikey B, should be interesting to see what he does.
