Survivor 2017 debuted last night featuring the season premiere and the reveal of who was voted off when the three new tribes hit the beaches of Fiji and compete for immunity from the first Tribal Council of the season.
Unlike other recent seasons there was just one hour of Survivor for the premiere which meant less filler and more of getting down to action. First up was our quick get-to-know-ya segment as Jeff interviews the new castaways before telling them to kindly get off his boat. They were soon overboard while grabbing all the supplies they can manage before heading to shore and building camp.
Jeff revealed the luxury reward came early and was part of the launch. Back on the beach there are three baskets with fire 15′ up in the air. The first tribe to reach their fire gets a huge fire making kit back at camp. Second place gets a flint. Last place gets nothing.
Healers reach the beach first but the Heroes aren’t far behind… Healers get fire first while Heroes get it second. Meanwhile the Hustlers are completely lost at sea. The Healers are told to head to camp and they’ll know they’re there when they see the nicely pre-lit campfire.
While everyone was grabbing things on the boat Ryan find himself a “Immunity Super Idol” that can be used *after* the votes are revealed but there’s a catch, it has to be used at the first Tribal Council. If his tribe wins safety this week then he has to pick someone on the losing tribe and hand it off to them.

Survivor 2017 Week 1: Immunity Challenge
Castaways will of course be split by their three tribes and face “Tracks Of My Tears” where they’ll cross an obstacle course complete with a net climb, roller coaster, and a choice of three puzzles. First to finish will walk away with safety while last place will grab a torch.
Heroes have a slight lead with the Hustlers right behind them on the puzzle phase while Healers are struggling to keep up. Wait a moment, the Healers are taking the lead with their first ball in a pocket. Soon all three tribes have one of the three pockets filled but Healers keep their lead going.
Healers win immunity! It’s either Hustlers or Heroes heading to Tribal Council… Hustlers win immunity! Heroes are heading to TC tonight.
Heading in Tribal we discover that Chrissy received the Super Idol from Ryan. Looks like the beta went with another beta to pass along the power he couldn’t use. Not a bad idea if he’s hoping to get out some bigger strength on the opposing tribe.
Survivor 2017 Week 1: Tribal Council
Jeff welcomes the Heroes tribe to light their torch and take a seat. Someone is about to be voted off but will that twist Idol throw a wrench in things?
Jeff reveals the votes: Katrina, Ashley, Katrina, Katrina, Katrina.
Katrina was voted off Survivor…
Chrissy does not use her Super Idol! Well that was pointless, but I guess she didn’t want Ashley to go instead.

Enjoy the show everyone. What are your hopes for the season?
I will be happy seeing some colorful new characters. Someone in the tradition of
Civil Air Patrol Captain Debbie Wanner or Special Agent Philip Sheppard.
So much anticipation when you’re waiting for a premiere. Should be a good season. Survivor never miss. Always good.
Could we ever hope so high as for another Debbie? Lightning in a bottle. Crazy lightning and a batshit bottle at that.
She created lighting.
I would like to know what others thoughts are on Zack being outed last year. It was so dramatic….
Hey Matt, I notice you gave Fandom the BBN treatment. Good job.
The gang’s all here!
Ok Bullies!..Survivor..Let’s go!
For the love of Jeff Probst’s dimple’s…are we there YET?!
I heard that Debbie was preparing for the first manned er wo-manned expedition to Mars. Of course, she doesn’t know they plan to leave her there!
Yes, we are.
Hey, cupcake.
Yay!!!!
https://twitter.com/survivorcbs/status/913155044769275904
I was definitely surprised,,,,,had no idea
She created errythang! I loved when she had the “time” with Cochran and the knowing smile on Cochran’s face realizing she is going to screw her own game up because of her ego! LOL
I’m drowning Jeff tonight. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/dacbdd0930e76dd4a434460645755e48735cc4e006d9a150b074e998a6c8fc37.jpg
Hey, cupcake.
His first season going to war with David was fantastic. Very smart guy.
Love it! Can you incorporate Tai somehow?
https://twitter.com/survivorcbs/status/913191595826069504
I was so shocked and stunned, really stunned. I felt so bad for Zach, but boy, he handled himself in such a great way. I was incredibly impressed.
Nice to see you all for a new season.
Captain. my Captain, you’re a copy cat.
Did they go to war, I don’t remember that! LOL David was such a great character!
Hi, Golden!
Thanks! Yeah, I liked the design enough there to bring it over here too. Hopefully it works well.
They don’t know that she plans to leave THEM there.
I missed that whole thing. I was having surgery..then heavily medicated.
Thanks Captain555. Lets go!
Hello!
They took sides and went after each other.
I didn’t like seeing him being outed on national tv last season but he seemed to take it in stride. Varner really felt terrible and worse than he did.
Hello golden, nice to meet you! :)
Hi Karen!
I thought that was his nickname.
I left a message for you on another thread. :)
Hey karen! :)
Hello. Nice Celtic script.
Thot his name was Zeke, with the reddish curlish hair.
It is…he also likes ‘Sweetie.’
Zeke, you are right, thank you!!
Oh, I’m so sorry Sharona. Do you know what I’m talking about or should i give a synopsis? LOL
There’s a couple guys there can light my torch!
Hello! Welcome!
All the best. Truly.
Varner was a complete and total tool for doing that, not sure I would have gotten over something like that. Shows what a good guy Zeke is.
Ok, I’ll use that one next time.
I finally watched it. OMG. I knew there was another reason (among 100) to despise Varner.
I like the 125 lbs. wet hustler dude… so far.
Thank you!
Mark was the best cast member. Loved him. A bit chicken though when it came to competing.
No Ken :-(
Thank you! :)
Let’s see..Give it three weeks, watch the ‘Healers turn into ‘squealer and stealer. lol
True, but we can make do with a couple others lol
This is going to suck, I don’t get the show for another hour, I don’t want it to get spoiled. :( Enjoy everyone!
Hahaha, right?
Jeff’s hairline looks a little higher this year. One of the photos with him, either it’s foggy or something, but he also looks a little gray. :-)
I’ll take him either way!!!
Could. Not. Stand. Him.
Oh no !
Really fantastic and appreciated.
I’m rooting for them. I like Mark, the Urologist.
Great minds think alike.
I know, I was wondering if that would happen. With BB you could get links to watch but Survivor is very tight with what they will let be broadcast and leaked. Have fun. I guess/hope there is a thread for discussion tonight/tomorrow?
You leaving?!
You will be missed. Enjoy the show later.
Loved me some Ken Doll!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5812728ebb699fa7daf61927de27262bd79c9525220595cd8e722086032ff74d.jpg
Thank you!
Mike the urologist
Does he have integrity? ha!
YW!
Oh I think we could have another Ken this year. Hoping anyway.
Thanks Alfie!
Yes…come back to this thread…or Matt will have a new one; but, it’ll be fresh in our minds if we comment on the show thread. I guess. I don’t know. Just come back.
They are all so healthy and fresh faced. Wait till they have to live off of a spoonful of rice.
They’re SURVIVORS, baby!
Yeah, I don’t want to be spoiled. I’ll come back if people are discussing post show or tomorrow? Not sure how Matt does his blogs for Survivor.
Thanks Sharona! :)
See reply below. ‘night, Doll!
Love the one who said I wanted this four from the beginning. It just started
I never like players aggressively forming alliance day one.idk..
Toodles babe! ?
I won’t shake hands with him.
I’m with you, Cyrilidovitch. Too aggressive.
Yellow Team ‘JOE’ sounds alot so far like RUSSELL HANTZ!!! dirty worker.
what up Healer Alf?
That person always goes home. Francesca going after Philip level.
Oh wow the turtleneck got the superpower!
Hustler team, they are so kwute. Ryan is so tiny, Patrick is goofy, and the other guy is just cute.
Same here.
I kind of like the guy who was talking right be commercial. Nerd-boy. I can say that ’cause I’m a nerd. What’s his name?
This Ryan guy, his style?..Watch him, he’s gonna be a snake. lol..I can see it.
Can’t talk. You’re on the Hero tribe. Must align during the merge.
I see a lot of weaklings. So far Joe got on my nerves and they only put him for a couple of minutes.
Ryan, I like him also.
LOL. He has a sneaky, cunning smile.
Excellent, I always love me some eye candy!
At least with the advantage, it has to be used during FIRST tribal council. If his team wins, he can’t use it and has to pass it along to the losing team.
wears the long sleeved turtle neck tops
TY Georgia!
Is Joe another Tony?
I thot Joe sounded like Russell Hantz, dirty player. How about you??
I think Russell Hantz.
This is who yellow, Joe, reminds me of. Even has the belly !!!
UGH! I don’t like him already!!! Who is he?
Don’t trust him, John Oliver.
Probation officer
Yes lol..I don’t know the players yet, so I’m just going by their attitude, so no fav players yet. Looks like we got some players here.
No more Hantzs; not after Brandons meltdown.
Darn, I’m having connection issues. Hope I can hang in here. Anyone have a favourite tribe yet?
Devin, kwuite… and he teaches kids to surf. awwwee, sweetie.
A lot of superfans. Have watched every season.
Yessss!
oh..that’s why!
This kid in all red ( Ryan) looks like this seasons super villian.
Yeh but who is he talking to Dr. Urologist like that?
Go Healers!
the turtle neck shirt guy, He was sitting with his tribe and he is very white skinned.
Hi Kelly!
Kind of a jerk, right?
What tribe is this talking about idol? please..
Bllue idol strip, hahahahahaha
OMG Alan! Crazy man! What about observing the first day? He just put a target on his back.
Healers
Alan black FB player, paranoid already. His teammate stripped and butt crack showed so no where to put idol.
Blue group, heroes.
Lol. Alan is cuckoos. He will go first. Joe and Alan are annoying.
You got that right.
The weak ones so far.
Sorry for the very poor site performance. We were migrated to a new server and they didn’t have it set up properly. Didn’t discover the issues until the traffic started up tonight. They’re working on fix it now.
yep
Definitely!
That crazy guy? What’s his name? He’s already schitzo and he’s not even starving yet..ha! omg!
no, it was blue Heros group. alan FB player, already paranoid,
guy stripped to butt crack to showAlan he didn’t have idol.
We’re ok as long as we stay here, but can’t open another page to the site. I was trying to go to the cast page, no go.
Alan
TY, Matt. I thought it was just me.
I love Russel. One of my faves. No way is Joe like him. I think more like the crazy cop. I forgot his name. Was it Tony?
Yep and I closed every other window.
Hi Alf!! Good to ‘see’ you!!! :-)
My connection is not stable so..I’m missing a lot thanks GS
Yep, definitely don’t close the window if you’ve got it going now.
I know…but I like Mike, the urologist. He looks like John Oliver.
Didn’t see the Marine in that exchange why I thought healers.
Yep, Tony. You like Russell? LOL. I liked Brandon, trying so hard to change how people looked at his family…
Alan, FB player on Blue team, Heros
I like that Georgia lady.
Tribal council – Tie votes are back in. What does that mean?? making fire between the two??
Tie votes used to be, take another vote after trying to talk someone to switch votes. If they don’t switch and are still tied, those two that were voted for, are then ‘safe’ and the leftover ones had to pull a rock from a bag. 1 black (tribe has spoken), and other white, safe.
that looks fun
Golly jeeze, shucks! I likes you too, Sharona.
I’m scratching my head about that one.
Lol…you a nice lady.
Is that for EVERY tribal? That can’t be right.
I mean, I thought it was for the end of the game.
ty Kelly
Get one of the healers
Yes! Hustlers! Alan, you’re in trouble. SMH…. Could have target the girl that has the crush….
I don’t know. I’m waiting for someone to explain it.
Trying to remember the thing last season but there was something about forcing the decision.
EWWWW Gross. Already?
just at tribal council.
Bless her heart.
I think I like the Healers most too, but there’s people I like in every tribe. I’d be ok with Joe going in the Healers tribe.
Damn Healers’..what balls did they use?…crystal?
Yeah…I get that. But I thought it was just for the final 4. I’m totally confused.
How would Ryan know who is the weakest link on the losing team? How would he hand over the advantage.
https://twitter.com/bluecjj/status/913199952632967169
From parade.com regarding the “no ties” on Game Changers:
Jeff Probst: “The biggest change we’re doing this season is if there’s a tie at Tribal Council, there will not be a revote. There will not be a chance for people to change their votes. You go directly to the tiebreaker, which is openly discussing among yourselves who you want to get rid of. If you can come to a unanimous decision, then that person goes home. If you can’t get a unanimous decision, everybody draws rocks.”
Oh, I’m glad it’s at this end. I was thinking I might have issues hanging out with you guys all season long.
the pile the cart went through was saw dust
Go Weaklings. I’m glad the red team is safe. I always root for the super underdogs. They are the weak players, but may make it far.
Look like a good explanation.
What happened? I lost the thread and then couldn’t get back on. Did you guys not hear me knocking LOL
I hope Alan gets voted out. He is a nut.
Is there expiration?
There’s a new thing for the final four but haven’t seen or read it yet.
lol
Yes!
Yeah, that was a bad twist that just made sure noone ever risked ties.
TY, my handsome friend.
They did last year. He said, “we’re going back ….”
lol..WHY?
Surely they don’t ditch Alan. He’s too strong.
It has to be used at the first tribal council.
I like that better. Not wasting time re-voting.
Right, this is from last year’s explanation. Jeff said they were going back to allowing ties, so they won’t be doing the above this year.
Oh they will.
Hi there bully? …lol
OK, got it.
Well, Mike is a Sex Therapist,’ so…
the urologist found some ‘balls’
Heard scratching at the window. Thought it was a racoon.
oh wow..this is the first of that kind…I think.
Did you lock the door?
Alan! What is wrong with him?
Bigger than a raccoon, smaller than a bear lol
You were in the “Twilight Zone.”
I was out there with you.
Alan is the Brad CulPepper casting?
But I didn’t see you. We should have hollered, lol
He’s on my fantasy team lol, I assumed there was no way someone that big and strong could go first. Darn!
God love her…
Gotcha!
Oh I love these cast..They’re already paranoia and crazy, first week…this is great!
I think so also. It was gifted to Chrissy. Was she the one throwing up?
He’s a nut.
Who will dump the rice and beans or try to bury the cookware?
Was that barf-lady, Chrissy, that was gifted the advantage?
Joe
That’s why I love this game.
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
Yep only he will be looking for idol. He’s obsessed.
I don’t know her name, but I think she was getting voted out tonight, so i’m glad she has the idol. I hope Alan goes. I hate paranoid troublemakers.
Alice Cooper lyrics?
BBN Canada is gone also. BBN is OK.
Alan
Buffalo Springfield – For What It’s Worth
He’s a nut.
lol
If it was bubbles, feathers, something soft and fun.
Maybe too many hits in the helmet.
Revelation chapter2 verse 6?
Thank You TY TY I’d watched some ‘old’ clips from shows showing use of idol and not use of idol. There was a tie. They talked. could not agree. The ones who were being voted out were then safe and the ones left pulled rocks.
So I was close to what it is in what I wrote above, only with trying to persuade at a different time.
Okay,I can deal with that. Tho, would/do miss the making fire bit. :-)
Not sure, never read that book, te he
I know that’s not funny, but I had to laugh.
There was an iraqi Vet a few seasons back. Demanded the tribe bring him rice once a day.
Chrissy got the super idol, not sure she was the one who puked. Ok, just saw hair length, yup it was her.
Alright Jeff!…instigate! ha!
Too early for a jungle-mance so I don’t mind if Ashley is voted off. Alan is a little nutty but he is strong and that is needed early in the game.
That’s why I love this game!
LOL! Alan is CRAZY confident. Those eyes… lol.
Crazy-eyes.
Ben a marine, Cody a marine — does not compute.
This is another reason to love this game.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3015ad260e024ed7376c0d7b5a93f486363cdab92bf41f48a50f36a34ef168de.jpg
NO! LOL! That’s over. (Not yelling…)
What?????
OH YEAH!!!
I Love Me some MEAT!!! :-)
He was on Two and a Half Men.
Meh.
Isn’t he good on what he does…I watched Australian Survivor, he’s ok, but no match to Jeff’s TC.
Oh my!
How come I think I remember seeing this??? :-) :-) :-)
You like em short and hairy. I know your type.
He is SO good.
Go,,
Wow. So crazy eyes stays. This will be FUN!!!
So now Chrissy has an idol that has no power anymore, BUT nobody knows that.
Why didn’t she use it????
Yes, Suzanne’s (OITNB) brother…
You know me too well.
Well I’d definitely take one of those mmmm
Alan is safe..who’s protecting him?
OMG !! So one old lady didn’t use the super idol on the other old lady.
Doesn’t the puking old lady know that she is next on the chopping block??? )( Well, guess there still is ol’ bug eyes. couldn’t believe that sight either. :-(
Right?
I still can’t get his Zoolander look a few seasons back, out of my head.
Ok..Feeds is back…later guys.
No! NO. Showmances. In. Survivor!
Hi all. Site would not connect for me tonight. It just now let me on.
Quick show, they did not waste any time.
Was Alan just putting on a show?
Bye…sweetie. ;)
Yeah, we had some issues with the site config, but they’re actively working on it. New server wasn’t as ready as we thought.
Entertained the heck out of me. Great start to the season.
I second that!!! So far, I count 3? NO! NO! I hope they nip that quick!
I thought she could have used the idol on anyone. Why not use it to save Katrina.
It’s back now.
Yeah, there were a couple places that talked about tonight’s Survivor being only an hour whereas usually it was hour and a half combined with Big Brother hour and a half finale.
Had problems too and now acting up again
OMG—I’d forgotten about that! Blue Steel.
Very few last. They smell too bad.
I don’t get why she didn’t tell Katrina to vote along w/ her against Alan and then she could have used the Idol. Here if she used it then Ashley would have gone. I suspect Chrissy won’t be a hotspot of strategy.
It was back, look like it’s gone again.
She voted her off didn’t she?
It would have sent Ashley home. Guess she would rather lose Katrina than Ashley.
yup
I thought it would be two hours. They moved right along.
Yep.
Back but very slow.
Obnoxious player, arrogance is not entertaining to me.
No problem. I was just hoping it wasn’t me. :)
I want Alan to stay a little longer in the game, just because he’s crazy.
Bye cupcake
She was probably just playing it safe so the team won’t use it against her later.
lol. Netflx show. Suzanne doesn’t have a brother, she was adopted but her name is Crazy-eyes on the show (looks like Alan’s).
‘night, my friends! I LOVE THIS GAME!!! Be sure to check out the posts, so that the new folks who are on PST can enjoy the show and interact too. It’s was a great Season opener!
Is that really him or photoshopped? Jeff is so hot.
I do too. He’s a nut.
Boston Rob and Amber. Married and kids (I think)
Oh wait.
Didn’t Jeff get connected with one of the castaways at one time???
After season, of course.
Lol!
Jeff; Two and a Half Men episode.
Yep.
Good night
Oh it’s him.
No. He’s a nut.
I like the cowboy and some from the red team. It is too early to choose a fave.
Pairs always get targeted when they get caught sleeping two close in the shelter together.
https://twitter.com/survivorcbs/status/913205345392123904
You a nice lady.
thanks babe
Yeah even when it’s to just stay warm.
Coach and The Black Widow Jeri.
Hey Cap, where was LG? She OK?
Parvati and her guy, was that a match on Survivor?
THANK YOU ALF!!!
I just noticed that tonight’s episode was called, I’m not crazy, I’m confident.
saw some parts of reruns and idol plays. Parvati had hooked up with at least two guys from those clips
Debbie.
Sweet dreams friend. Always great reading your witty comments.
She should be.
I LOVE her character. Great actress. She’s deserved every award she’s won.
No? Really? All for Crazy Confident Crazy-Eyes Alan.
No, JP was the one putting on the show!!! YipPe!!! butt crack and all !!
Yeah, that was my guy. But then I had to share him so he was our guy.
When is BB Can starting?
LOL!
Oh..you’re so nice! I’m sure there are a lot who’d disagree…but I’ll take your word. :) You’re still the wittiest. No lie, McFly.
Ethan and Jenna were together for a long time. Broke up now though.
I can’t figure that out too. What a waste of a Super Idol. I think she didn’t want to rock the boat – maybe she thinks she get them to vote out the football player next vote and if she saved her friend, she only puts her self in their sites for next vote ? I thought she was stupid on this vote til I thought about it – but really it’s kind of smart.
Matthew B- Glad You are here.
Thank you for your help during broadcast. You had several remarks that helped explained things to posters. And me, too. Even with this post, I had to think about it. Guess I thot using idol would cancel eviction, but not.
“Read” you later.
How did everyone like the show, just started watching.
Right..worry about the challenges coming first.
OK. Thanks. You’ll see her on the facebook…tell her I’m thinking of her.
lol
Found that out too late, lol
How perfect.
Great. You’ll love it.
I will.
Thank you Captain!
Hey darlin’! Loved it. I’m taking off now though. Tired and need some major pain killers. BUT, I’ll be back tomorrow—either here or on the next thread. Kind of like RT. Be here or be square. Wait….that didn’t work. See you tomorrow, oh lovely one! We can dish.
How is Ethan? Saw him on a clip last night from old Survivors.
Ethan had cancer there for a while but it’s been a LONG time. What’s his latest??
Season started off on a high note. Really good sign. Enjoy.
Define ‘old lady’ lol
Thanks Bellisima! Go and take care of yourself, we will catch up tomorrow! ?
Thanks Alfie! :)
Man, guess she REALLY wanted a souvenir!!! Well, seems she may not be one very long. she will need a nice souvenir.
I guess he is ok. I haven’t heard anything about him in a while.
It was a great start, a little bit of everything. There was paranoia, budding love, sneaky underdog (the one everyone is going to underestimate), the eager beaver, the entitled (Joe), etc… and a surprise eviction.
Thank you so much, really appreciate it Georgia! :)
Great, have to watch it again to get everybody straight. Missed you
Saw her throwing up on top of the set after puzzles.
Chrissy when it comes to strategy: ‘Strategery.’
Thanks tr8, I will probably watch it again as well!
And it was scary.
HA! I hadn’t thought about that.
Okay. Let me see.
Katrina and Chrissy are both the oldest castaways. Both aged 46. I would be considered oldest of us ‘three’ as I am over 60. :-(
Kevin, on BB19, is 56. Chrissy & Katrina, younger than Kevin.
On Survivor, the NEXT closest age to the ‘old’ ladies – Whoops, there is Mike, the urologist at 43. Next age s- 35, 34, 34, 31 (Alan). THEN 29, 28, 27, 27, 26, 25, 24, 24, 24, 23, & 23.
The Red Hustlers has the over-all youngest average age. 1 – 30’s, 5 – 20’s.
The Blue Heroes has over-all oldest average age = 2 – 40’s, 2 – 30’s, 2 – 20’s.
You’re awful.
TY
Thank you! That was way back in April. So much better now. Still have good days and bad—but the good far outweigh the bad. Compared to where I was before the surgery, I’m in paradise.
So, what is an ‘old lady’ lol, you avoided answering.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/48cd6047e31ccde41736141fcb64bf3254fb8c9041e2c0a02f58a8c00f1e761b.jpg
Should in February or early March.
Me
Karen, did you find my message? It’s on “Tonight on Survivor….”
Thank you again. What a kind, caring and loving person you are!
Yep, you outdid yourself again, bringing the fandom together!
Thanks for putting Jerri up on that. Wasn’t sure who Black Widow was. I remember Jerri’s first season. Maybe it was the FIRST season ever?? Jerri Mathaney (sp) was REALLY hooked on Colby.
HA HA HA Alf!!!
And you almost just made me ‘water the flowers’ by myself on my own!!
HA HA HA HA HE HE HE HE !!!! !!!! !!!! :-)
I am confused. :-) Who is Debbie??? I don’t see that name on any cast list.
-2017-cast-318408/
type the above after survivorfandom/survivor
and you should be able to see clips the cast members each made of themselves and photos. There is also a list of name, hoe town, age and occupation. I wrote them down in a notebook so I can keep track of who’s voted out and such.
I typed a really nice paragraph and explanation but there was a note that the ‘site had to think about it’ and whole thing disappeared.
Hope it stays up this time.
Now that looks like an old lady, ha ha
My definition of an old lady is always at least 10 years older than me.
Debbie Wanner. Astrophysicist. Discoverer of the Universe. Trainer of the Royal Lipizzaner Stallions. Self taught Neurosurgeon. Peabody Award Winner for Al Jazeera America. The REAL Laika—the first living creature to orbit the Earth…she was wearing a dog suit and fooled the Russians. How do you think we REALLY won the space race? Debbie Wanner.
Sorry Kelly…it’s a running joke. You’ll probably see her name thrown, randomly, into a conversation at any given time. :)
Not sure if I am liking Alan’s strategy.. made him look a bit psycho. I assumed that Chrissy was going to use the idol on Katrina last night, but Chrissy even voted against Katrina. I didn’t expect that?! Liking the cast so far!!!!!
I was surprised! Crappy move on Varner’s behalf! Before that, I just assumed Zeke was either gay or just feminine.. He gained my respect from the way he handled the situation! I felt horrible for him!
Btw, Fiddle, how have you enjoyed The Vietnam War documentary? I have recorded all 9 so far, but I haven’t finished the first episode yet..
Which ended up being pointless.. I expected her to save Katrina! It looked like the two of them were kinda there for each other the most. What’s up with the guy that kept grilling the Urologist?! I would hate to be put in that situation!! And Alan’s strategy? I believe it was more paranoia than strategy.. either way, I see it back firing on him. I’m not even going to try and pick out favorites this soon. Learned my lesson with BB! lol!!!!! Everyone that I liked, I came to absolutely despise by the end!
Season 2. Australia. Great season.
I agree on both points.
The cast is awesome, especially the cowboy.
DWL!
If you have CBS all access you can see clips and other seasons there.
Hi, Sharona! I am so thankful you are feeling better and are back with us!
I thought she should have shared the idol, too. Now she is the oldest woman left.
He is a bully.
I gave up, but it will be better next week.
I would think a football player would be more of a hustler than a hero.
Yes! Thank you! I had to give up last night because my I Pad couldn’t keep up.
Me.
Well, I see a lot of the crowd here from BBN. Might as well jump in the conversation.
So the decision to sit on the idol and let Katrina go… good move or bad?
Bad move for TV, good move for her game. No point in making her tribe mad at her this soon. on the other hand, the next time they lose they will vote her off as the “older woman”.
And I really didn’t like the blatant age discrimination. Even from Jeff. These ladies didn’t look anything like the regular old couch potatoes that are cast.
We go a version of that from Alan(?) on the heroes tribe. Except it wasn’t as fun as Debbie.
Apparently
The only way I see him as a hustler is if he’s snitch. Otherwise, survivor just threw him in that group. Like they did the little skinny girl on the Brawn tribe.
That was my thought. Seems she’s doing her part to maintain a low profile and peace in the tribe, yet at the same time, it seems clear that she’s next on the chopping block and losing a potential ally. Kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don’t type of thing.
LOL, c’mon you’re young in spirit!
I was so shocked, like I said in my comment. I have a son that I usually watch Survivor with but thankfully he was at Scout’s that night and I could get prepared to explain what was happening. It was a teaching moment for me and an eye opening one as well. Varner exposed the ugly underbelly of what humans will do for money, anything.
I LOVE THE VIETNAM series!!! I’m hooked, can’t get enough of it, masterful. I’ll probably watch it a good 3 or 4 times before Christmas rolls around. Ken Burns in a genius storyteller. If you are a fan of history and have any interest in the Vietnam War, this is for you! :)
Hopefully her tribe won’t have to go to tribal council next week. It may give her time to get in with the guys or at least vote out the crazy guy.
O.M.G…..gotta tell you guys this!!! WE MET KEN DOLL this summer!!!! No kidding, no lie. He was working at a hot spring in Colorado as a gardener & my sister got a picture with him after asking him in a very quiet voice if he was Ken from Survivor.
He’s trying to out-Cochran Cochran! He’s smarmy & I’m not a fan. :/
What??? Tell me more, was he nice, tall and good looking in real life, deets please!! LOL :)
Of course I’ll give deets…I wouldn’t leave you ladies hanging. ;o) Haha He looks EXACTLY like he did on tv!! He’s not excessively tall, though. Maybe 5’10” or 5′ 11″.
Here’s the story: I noticed this HAWT guy working in the tropical gardens around the hot spring-fed pool when we were in there. I pointed him out to my cousin, Lexie, because I couldn’t not say something! All I could think was that he looked SO familiar, but I couldn’t place him. Then I thought, “Maybe ‘Survivor’?,” but couldn’t remember his name. It was *such* a small town & *such* a random place (especially since he was from Hawai’i) that I figured it couldn’t be him. Later on, when my sister & brother-in-law came outside, she asked why that guy looked familiar – she said my brother-in-law’s facial recognition software was going crazy, but they couldn’t place him, either. When I said, “Survivor?,” she said, “Yes! Ken Doll!” She then marched her little self back inside to talk to him & get a picture because she’s bold like that (also married & my bil went with her). My single self was looking hellish at that point, so nuh-uh was I going to do that. Hahaha Anyway, my sister said he was very nice! When she told him he should come East to go to Longwood Gardens (a GORGEOUS public garden near Philadelphia that used to be one of Pierre DuPont’s summer estates), he said he has family on the East Coast & he wanted to bring his daughter to see them. He was shirtless at that point and he took a picture with her! :D
Wow, that’s incredible! I love the part about the facial recognition going nuts! Thank you so much for sharing your story. :)
OK. It was crazy, right? Just wanted to make sure you knew how I felt about you. :)
I just got done watching it. I totally missed the part where Crazy Eyes made Chrissy’s beau TAKE his pants OFF to prove he didn’t have the idol. What a jerk! This cat is crazy with a capital CRAY.
It really was! Yeah, my sister is a funny lady. We have a TON of fun together as a family – I’m SO BLESSED that way!
You are more than welcome!! =))))
*mwah?
Hey Sharona, I’m getting ready to watch it, didn’t finish it last night. I saw that, making that guy take off his pants. What the heck is wrong with this guy? I hope he realizes he just got his ticket back home. My hope is he isn’t one of those contestants that people keep around because he’s so horrible they know they can beat him in the end.
*mwah* ???
Hey Miss Scarlett!
OMG, I’m afraid that’s exactly what might happen. It will make for great TV–and great times for dissing him–but seriously, he has got to go. He’s crazy. Seriously, Crazy-Eyes, crazy.
Enjoy watching the rest of the show. Joe is another one to watch out for. Like Cyril said on another thread, “…he’s on my sh*t list.” I agree.
<3
Is that the probation officer? If so, can’t stand him, right out of the gate. Thanks Sharona, big hugs. I hope you are feeling better today!???
Yes…ugh. Big hugs to you, too. I’m doing better. I don’t like to talk about things too much–I sound like Raven. I was born with my head on my left foot. I had surgery to attach it to my stomach, so the food would go directly to my digestive system. LOL. Talk to you later, doll!
Cropped my sister out b/c she’s super sensitive about what pics of her get posted. =) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2b20cd23d4c8590cfda51bc7d6289685ed6cff6453f642ff80127aa6e12669a6.jpg
TY, thot I was a bit goofy there for awhile. Saw “Debbie” in a couple places.
Well, at least you got a good moment to teach your son a good lesson, one that most people just ignore, or don’t know how to approach!
I have all ten episodes recorded, but I’ve been real busy and haven’t finished the first episode yet. Very well told thus far! I love the idea of incorporating ALL sides! I don’t ever want to just know one side of a story, especially when it is much deeper than that!!
That’s how I feel about it. She sent her only ally home. Well, it was implied that they were allies at least… What throws me off is that she voted to evict Katrina as well..?
Yeah I like the Cowboy as well so far. I wish it was live and we could watch the live feeds, just like in Big Brother, that way we can see more of their personalities and then conclude our favorites. The weekly episode is edited so much that we don’t see their true characters.. they can edit and cut it to make one person look like a villain, while the other is made to be the “hero”.. This past season on Big Brother, they all got EXTREMELY good edits! I’m glad that I was able to see the people as they really were. So that’s my only issue with Survivor.. so it’s really difficult to pick a favorite. Especially this soon! ?
It has been edited a lot. Yes, live feeds and I wish the show was on 2 or 3 times a week. Or at least on for 2 hrs. Hope you’re having a great day, chaseo.
I would have fainted on the spot!
Sweet merciful heavens!
Yeah, it’s probably good that I didn’t go back in! Hahahaha
I know, right?!?!? Looks just the same as on tv!!! Not everyone does, but Ken Doll is the genuine article. =D
He could have given us mouth-to-mouth!
*FANS SELF*
I like the Cowboy. I also like J.P. The firefighter. I’m not sure about Alan. He did come across as crazy. Need to see more of the other tribes.
Alan was the one that kept accusing the guy of having an idil, right? If so, yes!! Ong, first off I would not strip or anything to prove something like that! Lol
I still don’t have all the names straight yet, but cowboy I liked right off the bat. Not only because he’s a cutie, but he just seemed like an honest person. Time will tell though on all of them.
I need to rewatch so I can learn all their names!
Surrender yes Alan was the one who made JP strip. Yes it’s hard to keep them straight in the beginning.
Oh Jeannie, Alan (Crazy Eyes) is Looney Tunes! Watch out for him. Joe is another one to keep your eye on.
He IS psycho. I mean, WHO makes someone ON YOUR OWN TEAM, drop trou, to make sure he doesn’t have an idol that he already knew he didn’t have? Goofy.
I wish you all were able to watch and comment during the show with us…
I’m sorry for butting into your convo, but I wish you guys could watch the show and comment at the same time. You’d be so much fun to interact with.
We all have to re-watch the show to get the names and tribes straight, but it’s worth it just to have the camaraderie of watching together. I know that’s not always possible, given time zone differences—but I’m so glad you came back the next day! It adds so much…
OK, I’ll butt out now….thanks for reading this. :D
I believe there are good arguments for both sides. She could have used it, saved her and then try to move forward and build an alliance but……I’m not sure anyone would want to go over to that side other than maybe Alan? He’s such a wild card. In the end I think she made the right decision to not use the idol.
I was surprised, after he had the other guy strip, at Tribal Council, he still wasn’t convinced he didn’t have an idol. It makes him look delusional. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/59cadbe146bbd709380063bad218e68ceb4d69809f0da3d4a90df51075d2fcb1.gif
IDK I wasn’t getting good vibes from cowboy.
I’m disappointed they didn’t do an extended episode for the season opener. It went by too fast and we didn’t get enough time to learn about the players.
‘look delusional?’ You’re being awfully polite. :)
Hahaha, very true! He IS delusional!
STOP! No you’re not.
I know..usually the season opener is 2 hours. Wtf?
I was trying to think back, don’t they usually do, at the very least a 90 minute episode? We were gypped!
After what he said about the ‘Mom’s’, he lost me. I do however, think this cast is going to be fun to watch.
Yeah, you’re right…90 minutes. We was robbed, I tells ya!
I guess they needed to get an entire episode of “Seal Team” in…which, btw, got a lousy review on Entertainment Weekly.
That was my first impression of him. Like I said, time will show all their true colors. I only remember him talking in the beginning though. No other time during the show do i remember him talking or plotting. I really need to watch it again.
LOL’ing @ we was robbed!!!! I’m so picky about what I watch on TV, so I had no idea what was on afterwards. The only scripted TV I watch are Game Of Thrones and it’s ending next year and Outlander, which I’m having a hard time watching this season, it’s lost me so far. Oh well, gives me more time chat on the interwebs!
Exactly, he said the “mom” comment and boo hiss! Looks like him and Ashley will be working together next week going by the previews, should be interesting. I hope she gets a chance in the game and they don’t get rid of her next. Alan needs to boot toot sweet!
I’m pretty sure Alan will finagle his way into staying a few more weeks. Frankly, it will make for great ratings and great fodder for us—but for true gamers, it will drive them crazy…just like his eyes. I couldn’t stand Varner either time he was on, but he managed to stay. So I won’t be surprised when Crazy Eyes stays a few more Tribals.
Well my dear, I’m off to do grocery shopping. I’m glad I caught you! Take care, Sweetie. ((HUGS))
I’m so glad to hear you say that about Outlander. I am not liking it at all. I’m still watching and will continue, but what the heck?! Unite, already!
I don’t watch much scripted TV either. Outlander was something I was really looking forward to. :( I watch a lot of movies and read books…and watch my ‘programs.’ Lol..but even my fav reality shows are bumming me out. RHOC, RHNY, and Below Deck—all, “Meh.”
Oh well. Survivor will cheer me up!
I know what you mean. I’m all about my reality TV but it’s getting old. I still watch, hate watch. The halcyon days of love to hate watching are long gone for me. :(
Yep. Now you need a Halcion to watch them. Lol…
For some reason Varner didn’t bother me and I can honestly say I don’t really remember him that well but good God, after outing Zeke, he is a POS. Now I understand why people say they have hated him in the past.
I agree about Crazy Eyes, he’s probably there for awhile, might even make it to the merge. Oh well, gives us a lot to discuss.
Have a lovely weekend Sharona, take it easy and I’ll talk to you soon! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c63e6f24ce7ef0044700e1d95b9b930c7182d6cb8d23c3d144e1c2000fa3f1ac.gif
Thank you for the big smooch. It lifted my spirits. :) You have a lovely weekend as well. Hope you have fun things as well as some ‘you time’ planned. See you soon. Mwah!
Sharona, what I saw of Joe I wasn’t impressed.
I figured. You’re an awfully smart woman. I don’t even know why I mentioned it! Isn’t he a ssssnake?
Funniest thing I’ve read all week.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8106a78a107740a5608dfab92f12aa866176b3acfe1e6bb210fdf2baca51d53f.gif
Thank you Alf! I consider that a HUGE compliment coming from you. :)
Why thank you Sharona. You are no slouch yourself.
I usually record it and then fast forward through all of the commercials, but I will try to endure the commercials the next time. lol I noticed that most of the conversation took place during the show last week, and by the time I got to the page/thread, the last comment was like 8 hours prior to mine! So yeah, I kinda felt like I had missed Christmas or something by posting that late! Haha jk. Kind of. I really wish the show would come on like at least twice a week!! Hope you have a great weekend! ?
I know!! He stated that it was his strategy, but unless he is a really good actor, he was definitely convincing me! And I can usually spot bull ? from a mile away!! I believe he definitely burned his bridge with his alliance!
Per your suggestion, I will watch the show and comment during, instead of waiting the next day. It will be much more interesting to discuss the subject as it is happening. ?
I know! Three times a week would be better, but I’d settle for twice a week! If only we could have things our way! Haha At least we won’t get burned out on it by watching once a week!
Oh, good! I still end up re-watching the show the next day, as I miss some things because I’m commenting…in fact, most of us do…lol. So, you still may want to record it. But I think it’s fun to watch with everyone. Looking forward to seeing you!
Oh, good! I still end up re-watching the show the next day, as I miss some things while I’m commenting..in fact, most of us do…lol. Wow. Deja vous. Ha.
Yeah, I wish the show would have at least 2 episodes per week. I love Survivor.
Since there are so many more people on Fandom this year, there are more people commenting throughout the week, but it’s still fun to watch together. I don’t want to push–it’s totally up to you Chase, but please watch with us. OK. I won’t bug you anymore. At least right now. ;)
You have a great weekend, too–what’s left of it!
You’re going to hell.
I have a gut feeling that Chrissy’s decision is going to come back to bite her in the buttocks. Can’t put my finger on it; but, it’s a nagging feeling. I’ll bet we’ll find out this week.
I. Am. So. Jealous, Heather! But, I’m so happy for you.
And look, he doesn’t manscape!!!
You’ll really like it.
HEY! Where are you?! Are you a-skeered to come out, pumpkin? C’mon…it’ll be OK. I’ll protect you..lol..c’mere. C’mon. Please?
Kelly, I meant to thank you last week—thank you for correcting me! I edited it, but didn’t give you credit. I’m sorry. :(
No problem. Ii think if you get mixed up with the castaways now, it might be hard to correct oneself later. It is for me sometimes.
Thanks for the TY. Weez all gots to keep each other up with theez people. “See” you Wednesday night. :-)
:) Looking forward to it!
I have the same feeling. We will eventually find out! Unless Alan keeps blowing up his game; she might be able to ease into the alliance and take his place?
Haha Not bugging me! I’m anxious to watch it live and discuss at the same time! I’ve decided that the commercials probably won’t be as annoying because I will be focusing on the discussion during them. That’s the plan at least. Haha I’m so ADD, there’s no telling how I will be able to handle both at once! But like you said, I record it and can always go back to make sure that I didn’t miss something. Survivor will be a welcomed relief this week, especially after the disheartening shooting that took place Sunday night-Monday morning!!!!! (Depending on the time zone.) Take care!
Right? I am NOT a fan of manscaping when it comes to chest hair or the Happy Trail! =D
LOL!! ME either!!! Next time I hear the song, “Happy Trails To You,” it’s gonna have a whole other meaning. :D
LMAO Now I will, too!!! =D
