Could somebody please tell that kid on the far right of “The Fans” that it’s no longer 1983?

And here we go, away for another season.

Just a fast glance at the two pictures and I’d have to give the edge to the Fans team.

I could be wrong though.

I was SOOOOO disappointed to see that Jonny the Jerk is a 'fav'...ugh.

And where IS Rupert??

[I Drive Too Fast]

Yippee. Tivo at the ready for another fun-filled season of Survivor.

[EveningStar]

cuz or anyone, please verify:

It looks like nobody was picked from either Survivor 10 (Palau) or Survivor 11 (Guatemala).

Also, no previous winners but one 2nd place finish, two 3rd place finishes, three 4th place finishes.

[Lee'sGhost]

Alllrightttt!!!

Hopefully they will add more “survival” element to this one.

At first glance it appears that to be a woman Survivor fan you must invest heavily in silicon, but Freeper mileage may vary.

As a latecomer to the Survivor craze (only seen the last 3 seasons) I took advantage of Netflix and am watching the first season. Although the show is definitely run more smoothly now (it’s fun to watch Jeff hem and haw his way through tribal council in the first episodes) I like the rawness in the beginning. It’s easy to see why it became such a hit. I may rent more of the early seasons.

But they really need to make life more difficult for the survivors. China was a walk in the park. I realize strategy and alliances and such is a big part, but without difficult elements (weather, critters, lack of food and sleep) and demanding challenges it is not very interesting. And how about rewards that give the winner an advantage in the game, rather than yet another nice meal and trip to some tourist spot.

Ack, I’m too long winded ....

Based on her beautiful bod, I’m rooting for the fan known as mary.

[JillValentine]

I think it would have been a lot more interesting if they mixed up the fans and the favorites. Five fans, five favorites on each team.

Oh well. They’ll probably do a tribal mix-up in the fourth or fifth episode anyway.

[JillValentine]

Okay - fan or favorite as winner?

I’ll say favorite.

[StayAt HomeMother]

A bit off topic - but I LOVE the “Marine.com” recruiting commercial.

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.
