Since I’m currently operating without the official ping list, I’ve been able to ping only a few of you.

I would appreciate it if any of you could ping interested parties to this thread. Thank you. :)

Thanks for the effort! I’d volunteer, but I’m inept.. I’m going to miss the first night:o( I agreed to sub in dart league.

They showed a clip before the ballgame the other day of Johnson telling his tribe that he knew there was no way any of them would ever vote him a million dollars so he would give help to anyone that wanted it to get further in the game.

Thought you might be interested in this thread. Best wishes to your friend on the Espada team.......she’s a goat rancher? Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I really admire her military credentials.

[StayAt HomeMother]

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.

Daniel Ortega is a shoe in for winner. How many times have we thought we were rid of him?

[Hot Tabasco]

Nicaragua is the 21st season of Survivor.

That can't be! Are you sure that's not a typo?????????

[EveningStar]

Has anyone been watching? It’s already aired in a couple time zones. :)

Survivor ping!

[goseminoles]

Woohoo, i'm safe for one more week!!

[bvw]

I want to see a Survivor: Downtown Detroit (or Gary) and a Survivor: Camden NJ.

Or how about a Survivor: Haiti!

Or a more focused Survivor: Christians in Indonesia ... Or Survivor: Jewish in Gaza.

[GOPJ]

I want it to be family vs family. Or better yet, FreeRepublic ( we choose who goes on ) vs DU ( they choose their best )...

[Oztrich Boy]

I want to see NaOnka get together with Osten Taylor (Survivor: Pearl Islands - see Jeff, some of us do remember the quitters) and make perfectly formed little quitter babies.
