I have hope for this season.
I have hope for this season too. No (apparent) lesbian contingent to grab power early for one thing. The gay hairdresser fellow is an Xtreme power player under cover of nicey-niceness and should be interesting. Not anywhere near as subtle as Richard Hatch, but still, he plays people against one another quite well. Will they catch on in time?
The fireman made a huge mistake heading off to an unknown campsite. He should have realized that their older, physically weaker team didn't need the stress, they needed to rest up. His ubermacho attitude will get him voted off.
Jolanda? IMO she would have been more fun to watch than the mousey little "team players." I hope this Survivor doesn't deteriorate into the survival of the weakest as in seasons past.
