Survivor: Samoa

[Zora]

People mentioned how obvious in many ways the oil company guy is. Makes me wonder if the only women on that team who have any brains are the police officer, who is suspicious and quietly warning others, and the one who got booted. She flat out told oil dude that she didn't trust him. She was right not to, but she opened her mouth way too soon. She should have just waited and watched like the police chick seems to be doing. The other chicks have no clue.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Ok, the Oil Company guy had me laughing. He's playing his hand too hard, though. The one chick was already thinking he was angling with that Katrina lie. Was that the same chick who got voted off?

Hilarious first episode. Loved it. Oil Company guy is officially my boy.

Also I gained knowledge of the most fantastic looking burger ever from the episode. It has banana peppers, marinara sauce, mozzarella sticks, salami and of course hamburger. Do want.

Where is that burger from?

One of the best first episodes of any survivor season. I only wish Oil dude had another crazy male personality on his team to clash with... a guy like Coach... Maybe Hillbilly guy will step up for some lolz, but the two of them seem pretty friendly with one another, since they both wanted the same bitch gone.

At the pace Oil dude is going, I do not think there is any possible way he can last till the Jury rounds of the game. He was way too reckless and over the top with his antics for everyone not to catch on after a couple days.

Hard to tell if the team that won the immunity challenge has any straight up crazies on their team, although the rocket scientist didn't seem to win over any friends this first episode.

Looks like they did a great job with casting this year.

Wish this show was produced by HBO or Showtime. That way we could see some titties flopping around during the challenges.

Yeah I was getting tired of the blurry-boob.

It does look like an interesting cast. I agree with everybody else, Russell won't be around long. He's about as subtle as an elephant stampede. The water dumping didn't seem particularly effective but the sock burning thing was just pure evil.

This is a "coconut season". It seems like if you are stranded on a tropical island, you want it to have coconuts. Every time the survivors have access to coconuts the whole food and water thing is way less of an issue than the seasons without them.

The leader of Galu seems to be pretty popular. "Shanbo" just looks ridiculous but seems to have an ok personality. She will probably go far since she won't be seen as a threat but also isn't a tiny little girl that can't lift 20 lbs. She would probably be a good person to form an alliance with although she does seem pretty opinionated which may be a bad thing.

The first reward challenge was a cool one. The leader dude avoided the "black guys can't swim" stereotype but then totally went with the "asians are smart" one.

Douchebags seem to be the "rocket scientist" pretty boy and the know-it-all hillbilly dude.

I do think the cop lady is pretty smart and should last a while as well. She saw through Russell instantly so her instincts must be pretty good.

Isn't the tough looking woman named "Shanbo"?? a former Marine? If so, she needs to lay back a bit for now. A physically competitive woman who tries to lead will be voted off before she can spin around.

The scene with Russell dumping out the water was hilarious. He's sitting there in his underwear, drinking water and dumping it out, with the rest of his tribe in the background sitting around the fire. All I could picture was Chris Farley in Billy Madison eating all the school lunches of the little kids. I was waiting for someone the following morning to go "Jesus christ, who would drink 10 canteens of water"?

[Brutul Tarew Marr]

When he was doing it he was acting like that was all the water they had for the day or something and then when the other tribe members woke up they were like "Well, I guess we'll have to go refill the canteens now".

[Ejukated]

Well fucking color me surprised. When I first saw Russell and his tactics I thought he was the prime candidate to be first eliminated. Not only did he not get eliminated, he now is the first person to ever find the immunity idol without any clues to its location... or even knowing for sure that there is one. If this guy can stick around for a while its going to be a memorable season.

[Antoine]

Am I wrong or was this not the 1st time a person has been kicked out of a challenge? I seem to remember Robb from Thailand and a bunch of his teammates getting kicked out of a water challenge.

also yeah it's hilarious that russell didn't end up the bad guy on his own tribe

[Sean]

Russell is all kinds of awesome, god I hope he makes it to the end.
