Premiers, Thursday, February 7, 2008 at 8:00 PM (EST)

In a SURVIVOR first,
10 ultra-fans of the series will take on 10 former castaways to compete as
FANS vs. FAVORITES.

The two tribes will be marooned amidst the Rock Islands of Palau, Micronesia.

The skills of the former castaways will be put to the test while the tribe of first-time competitors will see if their enthusiasm and passion for the game is enough to distinguish them as worthy competitors.

Who will prevail to become Sole Survivor?

The Marine Corp commercial was excellent.

I loved it too, EXCEPT that they filmed some of it in San Francisco! They don’t deserve the honor!

Looked to me to be Ozzie, but was it Parvati? Amanda perhaps? Good thing, apparently, that the give the Survivors condoms.

I read San Francisco refused the Marines first requested location for that commercial. It was filmed a few months ago and I’m sure there was a thread on FR about it. I know Neal Boortz commented on it.

I admit being surprised at the first ousting. Usually they edit the ending in such a way that the person who appears to be leaving is actually safe. I was fully expecting Eliza to go, even with Fairlplay’s histrionics! Gad, what woman would let him impregnate her???

I think this season is going to be a fun one. Glad it’s back! The writer’s strike might make this season a well watched one.

I was disappointed in tonight’s show. I hate that Fairplay basically quit, his spot could have gone to someone that would have stuck it out. I like the Jonathon, Ami, Yau Man, etc. alliance and hope they vote Pavarti out asap. I can’t believe James is falling for her act, I am very disappointed in him! I can’t wait to see more of the fans.

Some of us are on the Left Coast and can’t watch until three hours later.

Ditto.

1. Fairplay’s was a wasted slot.

2. The two couples of love birds didn’t wasted any time.

3. When, oh, when are they going to ever split the leaves and lay them like shingles to build their shelter roofs.

“San Francisco! They don’t deserve the honor!”

I choose to see it as an “in your face, San Fran” thing by the Marine Corps.

I was trying not to reveal too much for just that reason.

What did you think? Other than the fact that Johnny Wanker Boy’s was a wasted spot? At least he’s gone already. At the same time, it would have been fun to have him around for awhile to cuss at.

Observations:

Probst finally pronounces “Poverty’s” name right and she thanks him mockingly.

Dude on the Fans team talking about how tough they are gonna be and then the subtitle comes on: “Ice Cream Scooper.” LOL

I call shenanigans on Johnny Fairplay. I think the whole thing was a setup. He got paid to lend his name to the proceedings, but really didn’t want to go through the ordeal. Maybe he really did miss his family-to-be. Whatever.

There is no “going home.” You go to Losers’ Lodge until the game is over. Unless you are a pseudo star with a contract that says you appear in one episode, then you’re gone.

I think you may be wrong on the going home part. Members of the jury don’t go home, of course. But it would make little sense to keep the early losers around for a month twiddling their thumbs.

Everybody knows when they take off to play the game.

Everybody will know anybody who shows up back home in under 30 days got bounced.

They sequester everyone so the spoiler sites don’t know who is in or out based on the players movements. As standard procedure. Now, I’m sure they made an exception for Jenna Morasca when her mom had cancer and she quit to go see her.

But with Fairplay, he obviously knew his girlfriend was pregnant. That’s why I think it was a setup.

Jeff Probst will be on Glenn Beck’s Headline News TV show tonight. I think he’s the guest for the whole hour.

Should be interesting.

I still think that’s wrong. I found this from one of the earlier shows, and as far as I know it’s still true.

The Jury

The first seven Survivors voted off simply go back home. However, beginning with the eighth evictee, Survivors voted off are sequestered (in a much more comfortable location!), and return each Tribal Council to silently watch as the remaining Survivors vote another member off. Communication between surviving contestants and the Jury is forbidden.

“And Yau Man slammed Johnny Jackass’s head into the boat! Too bad he didn’t break his nose.”

That will live in my memory forever! Wonder if that is why he got so mellow and wanted to go home to his pregnant girlfriend. However, one never knows with Fairplay. He is soooooo full of excuses.

I guess the “Chicka-Boom” alliance of four thinks that no one paid attention during the original All-Stars. Uh, James? Parvati? Ozzy? Amanda? The FIRST thing the others are going to do is break you guys up, and my guess is Cirie is going to be happy to go along with them. If nothing else, Jonathan and Ami are savvy enough to dismantle any possible Rob/Amber situations right off the bat.

I’ll speculate that Parvati goes when the Favorites next go to tribal council (James, Ozzy and Amanda still being useful for team challenges; although I guess because they couldn’t see the China season that they don’t yet realize that James is not exactly the Challenge Monster that you’d expect him to be).

Wow. Great first show.

Initial impressions:
1) The "Favorites" were way over confident and the "Fans" kicked serious butt in the challenge.
2) The Jonathan/Ami alliance has great potential to be a super alliance, until they get fed up with each other. I predict a big fallout sooner rather than later.
3) Oz and James: Getting played early. Wow! These guys are thinking with the wrong heads.
4) I can't wait to see James and Joel go head to head in some physical challenge.

I think it's going to be a great season!
