I will be handling this thread on a temporary basis only, and as time and health permits. You people are used to - and deserve - more. Hopefully, someone more qualified will step up and take this over. :)

Survivor: Nicaragua is the 21st season of Survivor. It will moving to Wednesday nights this season. In fact, it begins tonight, September 15, 2010, 8/7c.
The theme this season will be Young vs Old. The players will include a former NFL coach (Jimmy Johnson) and an amputee triathlete champion (Kelly Bruno).
From Wikipedia:
Survivor host Jeff Probst, has also announced that the Hidden Immunity Idol will continue to be used in the game. However, as idols have been found too easily the past two seasons (most often by Russell Hantz), or as the show's producers have dubbed it, "The Russell Factor", the idol will be hidden differently. The clues to the idols' locations will be visual rather than written as in past seasons. In addition, the tribes will be vying for control of a new item, the Medallion of Power, that, when used, gives an advantage in a challenge, but is then transferred to the other tribe.
Let's meet the players.
Here are photos of the players.
Listed below are links to player profiles. They include a video clip of the player, which is, unfortunately preceded by a short - but annoying - ad.
La Flor (age: 30 and under)
.
Espada (age: over 40)
What?!??!??!?! Your going to miss it?!?!? A dart league?!?!?!
I won’t blow it....... Unless u want me too........ ;)
Thank you for taking this on!
I mostly just lurk, but Survivor just is not as fun without FReeper FRiends.
Here’s my first impressions of the contestants:
Thumbs up Youngsters:
Brenda - hardworker but might have an attitude
Chase
Kelly B - good attitude
NoOnka - could go either way
Shannon - straight forward
Thumbs down Youngsters:
Alina
Jud - idiot surfer dude
Kelly S. - Barbie prom queen
Sash - talk about full of himself
Thumbs up Oldsters:
Dan - Reagan fan and doesn’t like existing politicians but he’s got a bit of an ego going on so maybe a first boot
Holly - video didn’t work
Jill - video didn’t work
Jimmy T - family man and hard worker
Wendy - video didn’t work but who wouldn’t root for a goat farmer
Thumbs down Oldsters:
Jame - toss up either first boot or final four
Jill - video didn’t work but she thinks Colby played smart, oh yeah, like taking Tina to the final was smart?!?
Jimmy J. - nope, he ousted Tom Landry and I’m not very forgiving
Marty - Lance Armstrong fan, nuff said
Tyrone - weird dude
Yve - cougar acting 16
That said, I reserve the right to change my mind after seeing episode one.
I know. Someone called me to sub tonight at Corner Pocket for dart league. Sucks..
“I won?t blow it....... Unless u want me too........ ;)”
:o)
Daniel Ortega is a shoe in for winner. How many times have we thought we were rid of him?
That can't be! Are you sure that's not a typo?????????
Remember, there are two Survivor “seasons” each year.
At least u have Internet now, u can watch it online tomorrow!
There are? I didn't realize that........
I've been having problems with the CBS site too. Most of the time the links work, but sometimes they don't.
I like her.......She doesn't belong on this type of program.
Yes. Dermis was a hairless kitten (Sphynx). His mother ilikes to ride on my shoulders and bites fingers at every opportunity. They are in-your-face cats that cannot be ignored.
Wendy is very competitive. That's what the show is all about IMHO. Wendy has instincts and a personality that definitely make her a contender for this show. She's certainly not the typical woman her age - she is bluntly honest and very enthusiastic about everything she does.
A mountain lion got my last kitty, a manx, 17 years old. Dunbar was in poor health and her wilderness instincts and agility were failing her. Our newest pet, Cleo, is a Maltese/Shitzu mix. She is a great companion to our Siberian Husky. Alyeska (our Husky) looks fierce and intimidating, but she is a real softie, until a stranger approaches. Cleo difinitely lets us know when something’s amiss in our yard. They make a great team. Mr. RR travels so much with our business, it’s great to have my two guard dogs.
Still looking for a good “mouser”. I’m sure one will show up soon.
Has anyone been watching? It’s already aired in a couple time zones. :)
That's sad about Dunbar - not a nice way to go. We've never seen mountain lions here, but have had a wolf at the back garage door area, and bear scat in the backyard. We keep our cats inside. Outdoor cats disappear around here in no time at all.
All 9 of her teammates voted for her.
