Update:  I just got some new information from missyae, the final vote between two girls, I will reveal who it is at a later date, is very close.  The heroes go after Stephanie and Tom at the onset because they do not fit into their LA clique.  Rupert wants to kill chickens in the camp  but they will not let him.  They argue over food right from the start.  Most of all the challenges we will see are from the past with some minor changes done to them. 

Hey guys!  I got some interesting information from Survivors Unite at the sucks webiste that I thought I would pass along here.  If you don’t want to know these rumors and spoilers then don’t read.

We have all seen the contestants arrive by helicopter back to the beautiful beaches of Samoa and within five minutes of their arrival we have our first rewards challenge.  I will let you all know about the challenge in a later post but before the competition is over Parvati dislocates Stephanie’s arm; Boston Rob gives Rupert a broken toe and Sugar gets her top torn off.  So for all you Sugar fans get prepared to see a lot of blurry tv surrounding her as she is out of the competition first and topless.  The Villains win this challenge and are seen leaving with fishing gear. 

For those of you who like the idols, get ready because between 6-8 of them are used this season.  Apparently right when they are found, they get used so they keep getting re hid.  Don’t know at this time how many, if any that Russell finds.

The general attitude of the contestants towards Russell is that they cannot stand him.  Missyae says he and Parvati align from the start and pretty much control the villains tribe.  Russell votes with the majority at tribal council and gets 3rd place overall.  He does not receive any votes this go around so something could be said about his social game and the fact that no one likes him.  He may be the best game player again (time will tell) but obviously if you can’t make good connections with the jury members, you are not going to win, a lesson he should have learned last time.  How well do you all think the social game plays into becoming sole survivor and should they let america vote for the winner?

Here is a sneak peek at the upcoming season of heroes v. villains:

Do you think it will live up to the hype?

Jenna interviews the contestants in Survivor 20:

Who stands out in this crowd of all stars as a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming season?

Now that the Survivor 20 – Heroes Vs Villains cast list has been officially announced, who do you think stands the most chance of winning?

Yes, I realize this has nothing to do with the great game of Survivor but you know what?  I think you could say that any sporting event would be considered the first “real” reality show. 

Tonight we have two phenomenal teams the #1 ranked Crimson Tide of Alabama and the #2 Texas Longhorns.  The drama will unfold at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.   Will the dominating arm of Colt McCoy stand before Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram?  What about the Texas offence against Alabama’s defense?  We have two evenly matched teams and it is sure to be a nail biter down to the very end.  Of course if you are not from either state it might not mean as much to you but for anyone who wants to see a great game of football be sure to tune in tonight on ABC.

I tried not to be bias but I have to throw in a big Roll Tide for my team!

Here is an excerpt from Debbie Little’s article from the NY Post on the upcoming season of Survivor, Heroes vs. Villains:

Survivors pick their ‘Survivor’ all-stars

1:19 PM, December 31, 2009 ι DEBBIE LITTLE

“Survivor” will mark its 20th season with something special as it once again unites former players, this time as “Heroes vs. Villains.”

Before CBS announces the lineup next week, we asked former Survivors whether they see themselves as a hero or villain, who other than themselves they’d like to see play this time around and is it easier to win as a hero or villain.

There’s no question that fan-favorite Rupert Boneham (“Survivor: Pearl Islands”) is a hero both on and off the show, so it’s no surprise that he has a few favorites that are also heroes.

“Rudy Boesch (‘Survivor: Borneo’), toughest old man I’ve ever met in my life, Big Tom (‘Survivor: Africa’) – the Goat Man – maybe this time he would believe me instead of Boston Rob and Tina Wesson (Winner – ‘Survivor: The Australian Outback’). You have to have the hot girl,” said Boneham.

Boesch castmate and original sole Survivor Richard Hatch is a popular villain choice.

“I know I’m asking for a lot, but I’d love to see Richard Hatch back on Survivor,” said Rob Cesternino (“Survivor: Amazon”). “If it were up to me, I think you put Richard Hatch out there every season. I think you make him like the “free space” on the Bingo card, he’s just a given. Some years they vote him off first, some years they keep him around. How could that not be intriguing every time?” he said.

Now that you’ve read what our experts think, it’s your turn to weigh in. Who would you like to see on Heroes vs. Villains and who do you think has a better chance to win?

Hey guys!  Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and are looking forward to a safe and Happy New Years.

CBS has not given out the official cast list for the next season of Survivor but it has been leaked on the internet so I am going to share it with all of you who do not already know.  It is also being filmed in Samoa and the heroes tribal color is blue and the villains is red.  The merged color is black.  There is no exile island for this season and there will be no tribal swap.  There will be a double boot episode and another interesting piece of information is that there will be two idols played in one tribal council.

The heroes tribe consists of Amanda Kimmel, Candice Woodcock, Cirie Fields, Colby Donaldson, James Clement, JT Thomas, Rupert Boneham, Sugar Smith, Stephanie LaGrossa, and Tom Westman.

The villains are as follows: Courtney Yates, Coach Wade, Danielle DiLorenzo, Jerri Manthey, Parvati Shallow, Randy Bailey, Rob Mariano, Russell Hantz, Sandra Diaz-Twine, Tyson Apostol

Richard Hatch, the 1st season winner will not be appearing on the show due to legal troubles.  When he asked a judge to let him travel to Samoa to be on the show, he was turned down.  Sham also reportedly turned down an opportunity to be on the show.

The air date is February 11, 2010 for two hours.  Did the producers miss someone that you wanted to see return?

It is time to move on from the let down of Season 19 and start looking forward to Survivor Season 20 which begins February 11.  Who do you want to see return for Villains vs. Heroes?

There has been much talk on the internet today about who should really have won the title of Sole Survivor on Survivor Samoa and for once I am in total agreement with the masses that Russell is the only one who deserved that crown.  

I am the type of person who is all about game play.  I don’t want anyone riding my coattails and for sure I don’t want to ride theirs.  This year that is all to be found on reality tv.  It is a shame that what was once considered the mack daddy of all reality shows has fallen into the same path of destruction as all the others.  

You can argue and say riding coattails is a strategy but is it really?  I don’t think so.  There is no competitive spirit involved in dragging behind another stronger player.  I would personally be embarrassed if I won a game in that fashion but then again, I love to compete and I want to win because I did well and not because someone else took pity on me and that is what the jury members did in the case of Natalie. You all know it as well as I do.

There is no one on that panel who honestly in their hearts believed Nat to be the better player. They just couldn’t stand the fact that Russell beat them and did it so well and none of them ever saw it coming. It was an amazing thing to watch all season.

I’m going to remind all of you that at the beginning of the season we all picked the person we thought would do the best and the least and I said Laura would be among the first to go and I was wrong. She actually controlled the feelings and thoughts of the women for Galu except Sham.

My person to win was Russell based sole on the fact that he owned an oil company and I work in that industry and I never turned back on him. I did think it was crappy to burn Jaison’s socks and wreak havoc on his own tribe but you know what? He had a purpose and a strategy and he never waivered from it. He was a phenomenal player and it was an absolute pleasure to watch him from week to week because let’s face it, without him, the season would have sucked.

What do you think? Is Russell the ultimate sole survivor?
