Yes, it's time for a new season of one of our favorite shows -- SURVIVOR! The talented Zoetawny has made us yet another blog logo for the show. You realize she rocks, right? Margo is running the blog pool again, rocking also. Me? I'm just rolling along.
As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll post major events in updates in this post. However, it's the comments area which is where the real fun and well ... commentary is. Everyone is invited to join in! Later tonight, my full review of the show will be posted over on TV Squad and, of course, you're invited there, too.
The show will be starting in about ten minutes here. Survivors ready?
The first reward challenge has started. In the first round, Stephenie has dislocated her shoulder. Into commercial. Rupert broke a toe. But the heroes won fire! Both Rupert and Stephenie continue to play -- neither shed a tear.
They're spending more time than they ever have just visiting the camps. No immunity challenge yet (9:15 PM ET). The heroes found and captured some chickens with a net. The villains, thanks to Rob, made fire without a flint.
Villains win the first immunity challenge. Sugar is crying (as she should be).
Sugar is the first person voted out.

Am I first? I brought some hot chocolate, mini-marshmallows and Baileys. Please drink responsibly and use unbreakable cups.
Let the games begin!
BEEN ready for months! YAY!
Hi everybody! Have a bunch of fun. I'll hopefully join you next week.
Hip, hip, horray!!! Here we go!
Good luck all poolfloaters!
Survivors Ready?
You are first Laurie! WOO HOO EVERYBODY. It's AWN!
Awesome! I love the helicopters!
Sugar doesn't look like she likes her hair getting messed up. I kind of am not so interested in seeing Jerry Manthey talk about herself AGAIN.
Coach.. ugh
Lottsa egos that will make it very interesting!
Let's see what Pavarti will be like this year. Let's face it, there's a lot of people we don't care for on this season... and that was part of their plan, those producers! I jsut wish I was paired up in the pool with someone I like. I find it hard to root for Danielle... I don't know her, I don't think.
Hi Gayle --
I like the helicopters too Monty
UGH COACH, STFU (wait, it's the first three minutes of the show... I have to have a better attitude than that)
Sniff!!! I thought you were talking about me, Sydney! :)
Sydney, I can't even see the show for another 3 hours but I join you in saying STFU ... He is an idiot!
Was Courtney just flirting with Pavarti?
Hey, I FINALLY got the computer. Today was DH's BD, so I gave him the computer for the day.
Is the young innocent rookie JT's angle???
Does anyone know why Richard Hatch is not part of this?
Of course I have to be watching it at my mom's and my idiot brother won't shut up, lol. I'll have to rewatch this epi over again. Ugh!
I LOVE James! Me and everyone else I think.
Already Pavardi is doing that coy smile with her finger in her mouth. barf
Sydney, at least you don't have Jerri! Hey, Jackie and everyone. It is good to be back.
Richard was in jail or out on parole. Something like that he was not allowed to leave the states
Sydney, it would have violated his terms of parole to leave the country. I would actually have loved to see him on this season.
Ah no I do not want Stephanie to have to leave...
Oh, Sydney, I don't like your pool person! Ciere is a tiger!
Ouch!!! That looked gross. You could see the separation.
Those girls mean business! Hope Steph is okay.
Stephanie is one of my all time favorites. I hope she is not leavin already!
Becky said...
Oh, Sydney, I don't like your pool person! Ciere is a tiger!
**********
Okay, now Becky is making me sniff, sniff! :(
I'm getting a complex here, people. :)
Steph is one tough chick!
Brutal already. I think it's wrong to have done a challenge that's as potentially injurous as this one.
ugh in SAND all of this.....
Wow, go Coach. He never gave that kind of effort in his season.
Don't mess with a country boy! Sure Coach is "watching". No way he would do physical work!
Geeze Russell, you don't have to break Tom's leg. Trying to prove himself. YAY TOM!
Good move Coach dragging Colby to their mat.
glad to see COurtney star out with some meat on her.
LOVE what Sugar's wearing
Can't even watch the show for another few hours and already my girl, Stephanie, may be out!?! Well Damn, whoever has James better make room for me on their raft!! LOL
YAY SUGAH BABY!!!!!
go rubert! -jeannemarie
TAlk about being a woman... Tyson's suit. I know it's supposed to be a joke but...
Already loving this season!
Hi everyone...
MEB where are you???
BOOBIES HAHA
Yay Heroes win reward!!!!!!!
2 injuries already these guys mean business
My goodness...the heroes are going to all be medivacced out...LOL
Jeff and all his talk about the injuries, He can barely wipe the sh*t eating grin off his face over that.
LOVE what Sugar's wearing....
Or not! LOLOLOL So glad the good guys won!
Survivor should always be two hours. It's going to be a GREAT SEASONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!
GO SUGAR! Topless yet!
Poor Rupert, hope his toe doesn't get him kicked out.
I know they all hated Sugar on her season, but I always liked her...
I'm really torn, I like a lot of the people on both teams.
Wonder if Russell will do an II search?

*********
I've never laughed so hard watching Survivor. Boobies and Birdies! :-)
Love Sugar flying the bird back at Sandra.
At least both Stephenie and Rupert are staying in! And they won fire! Did you see James GO with that bag?
Nana, Steph is okay. They re-located her dislocation.
Usually if you dislocate your shoulder you need to use a sling. But in this game would be a hinderance. She will be sore real soon!
This season is really lookin' good already! I agree, Joe.
Well, you guys are all having way too much fun!! I have to go to dance class so will be back when the show airs on the WC....by then I can find out who leaves...hehehe. I wouldn't be sad to see Jerri, Coach or Tyson gone.
Save some food for us WC fans....
Here goes Russell smoozing the girls for final 2 HAHA
Oh, Danielle. Don't listen to Russell!
Love Russell
Danielle is Russell's new Natalie.
ASt first I was asking myself, why did he pick Danielle, then I was corrected... he will of course ask everyone. But all those players have presumably watched last season and knows his thing. Pavadri's little flirty thing won't work on Russell.
Russell was not missing a tooth last season was he? He is now!!!
Russell is missing a tooth this time? And I thought he went right from the other show to this one... looks like he had time to put some girth back on.
Personally, James and Rupert were probably two of my favorites. JT was okay, too, but a little vanilla.
But, I gotta admit, the villains amuse me more than the good guys most of the time. And I just want to be amused...
That didn't work out so good the first time, Russ!
I think they were doing this when the other season aired???
I'm late but I'm here. Parvati is my girl for the season's pool. Go Villains! By the way, I have been snowed in for a week. Gotta love blizzards.
I thought they filmed this before last season's finale. They haven't seen Russell play his game...but then how does Parvati know that Russell is "the Devil".
Sydney, I totally thought the same thing. I was thinking, Danielle is like the weakest villain. I forgot it was Russell!!! LOL
My daughter has not worked since noon last Fri..DC area. Guess she goes Fri but has Monday off!! Where you at Tessa?
Go to town, Heroes! 3 chickens and a rooster! Dinner tonight and eggs for tomorrow?
Well, it's a good start at least. Heroes have fire and are working well together. It WILL be interesting to see if the "good" folks will be busy working well together and the "bad" guys will be busy scheming and back stabbing each other.
I'm an hour and 15 min. from DC in Western MD. We got 17 inches on top of 21 from the first blast. We are expecting a small clipper system on Monday. I work at a school and we haven't had classes since last Thursday.
Yeah, Sydney... none of these folks have seen Russell play the game. SO they are fresh meat to him. ;)
Russell will go far if his last season strategy works this season. I love it... and I already love this season too!
Nana, hurry back. Did Meb ever arrive?
I have been trying to read email. A day off the computer is a long time!
Was it just me or does Jerri look like she has a little tire around her belly?
Russell was missing a tooth all last season.
I think I'm just going to sit back and enjoy this season. Really hard to root against any of them. I really have no feelings for Danielle (why her?) and Courtney (why HER!), but I liked pretty much everyone else. I mean, I hated Rob, but I loved to hate him.
I can't believe they're plowing my parking lot NOW! All kinds of noise!
Wow, it's so obvious that the ones going home will be the physically weak links...probably the ladies who don't win challenges. This will be a game of brute strength, not nearly as entertaining as mind over matter, unless there are great puzzle challenges.
Jeri likes Coach, I could see it from the first minute on the beach. Say whaaaa?
OMG Coach and Jerri would be the worst Showmance EVER!
Well, Jerri dated Evel Dick so I guess it goes to her liking Coach! Go figure.
It's only been a day, geeze, everyone's promoting a love match?
Jerri and Coach. It might work. Who woulda thunk it? The black widow and the dragon slayer.
Tessa, do you have to make up the snow days?
Those of you getting snow, be careful!
Naturally Jerri and Coach would be drawn to each other!
Remember how she sucked up to Colby the second season. When he dumped her she went ballistic.
Now that's a good alliance. JT and James could be unbeatable. But they're on to it already.
Actually, I could see JT and James as a power team. James is too honest for this game, though.
Think Russell will have an II by sundown? :)
Sydney, they're making googoo eyes at each other.
I'm a little confused as to why Cirie was on the Heroes. She was totally running the backstabbing with Parvati on Fans vs. Favs
Cirie said that she doesn't know why she's a hero.
Randy is a troublemaker.
I just remembered why I always disliked Randy...
Way to go Rob...
Coach back on the beach doing his thing already and nobody wants to do anything.
Go Rob with the fire! So stick it, Randy!
why don't I remember Sandra winning the game? I guess I blocked it out because I didn't want her to win.
WOW, Boston Rob had a baby? I didn't know that.
JOYN you are always up on the news.... did you know?
Look out Rob. You're in Russell's cross hairs!
They may try to take out Rob early. You know how that goes.
Hi I'm home - what has happened so far? Mom & I just started watching. I read on Jackies what has happened so you don't really need to tell me.
Have Fun!
Sydney - Sandra was Rupert's ally in Pearl Islands -- the one who dumped all the fish he caught when they voted him out.
James' nipples are driving me crazy. I want to lick them. I'm gonna need a shower when this is over.
You know what really sucks? Starting in March I have to teach a class on Thursday nights so I'm not going to be able to join you good folks... :(
OMG Silk!!!!!!!!!!!!
Personally, I've always had a man crush on him myself.
We may have to make up 2 days. We'll see.
This show has been moving a little slow with all of the scheming. We usually don't get to see so much of the behind the scenes. Guess they had to stretch it out for the 2 hour premier.
Yeah, Syd, last summer they had the baby, I believe. I like Rob, always have.
Does anybody else follow the EW coverage of Survivor? I'm not big on blogs (well, except for Jackie's!), but I actually like Probst's.
Well, Cirie should be the only one NOT to criticize. She couldn't start fire with matches in that elimination challenge.
What a great edit!
Sydney, just checked, Rob and Amber had a baby girl in July named Lucia Rose.
Sandy's still a tough one. My girl in the pool.
How can Jerri & Coach hook up? They are both in love with themselves and I'm surprised they even notice anyone else.
Margo
Kitty, you've got a good point.
Hopefully it will be a balance of mind vs brawn in the challenges.
Colby seeming a little pussy-whipped by Sugar. Is that swearing?
Joe, wasn't that Sundra on Cook Islands? Sundra and Becky! They were the matches/boring fire starting challenge. :)
I thought coach had a long time girlfriend? Rememeber Jeff made "the woman who loves coach" stand up in the audience on the live finale?
It can't help psychologically to have Jeff yelling that your team is already behind.
Darn!
NO NO NO we don't want heroes leaving!!!!!!!!!!
121 comments already Jackie!
Skinny girl on villians team is gloating.
Gotta give the Villains their due. They blew that puzzle into the water. Sandra did good.
YAY! Go Villains, my girls tribe so she ain't going home. :)
My pool pick, Sandra is with the villains and I'll root for her but my heart is with the Heroes.
Great challenge. I love when the challenge is long enough to turn around like that. Sandra was a hero on the puzzle...
Monty, now that you mention it, I don't remember. I thought it was Cirie but maybe not. I'll have to Google it and find out...
Looks like Sugar's going home. Sydney, you were right...it looks like the challenges will be a balance of mind vs. brawn. Boston Rob and Sandra were awesome on the puzzle.
Thanks JoyN, our resident entertainment news detective!!!
Margo, lol at your coach/jerri comment.
Tessa, I actually wished all shows would be 2 hours!
Silk, you go girl! He is a hunk.
Joe, I always liked Sugar too. But I wish she would not have cried this time. I know she was doing the puzzle and all, but it's not gonna be a good thing with this many strong players, heroes or not.
Cirie has never been able to do puzzels...Heros please keep her away from them in the future. She has caused a loss after a big lead before. She's no puzzle solver.
I imagine it will be Sugar going.
Gloat, Villians. It will bite you in the behind later.
Gloat, Villians. It will bite you in the behind later.
Monte, it was Cirie and Danielle in Panama...at least the one I was thinking about. When after like 2 hours they gave them matches and even then Cirie ran out of matches because her fire kept blowing out.
OK, so we now know it's NOT Sugar. So who do you think it is? :)
Tom, good thinking. Much as I would like to see great players stay in, it is a good think to think of getting Cirie out.
I kind of hate to see anyone go just yet...
Okay Joe. But.. then the same thing happened to Sundra and Becky on Cook Islands. Remember Ozzie, Yul and the entire jury looked like were going to sleep. :)
But they also need to think of their own team until the merge. Overall, Sugar's more of a waste than Cirie. Not waiting doesn't mean jump to vote out first!
Think Colby might have a personal reason for wanting to oust Sugar? Too close for comfort?
I don't want Cirie to go!!! :(
I hear you, Monte. LOL. So maybe NONE of them should criticize other people's fire-making.
Jackie, I agree with you. There are plenty of opportunities later to get rid of people. Especially Cirie who is not an individual immunity threat. Of course, Cirie is also not much of a help to the tribe in their challenges.
Don't get one of your guys out this soon (re: losing Tom).
And yes Cirie, you will lost challenges if you get Stephanie out.
Poor Steph, always someone wanting her out.
Everyone should want Amanda in the final 2/3...girl just can't win. LOL. I also think she is one of the most beautiful women ever on Survivor.
WOW they put a lot of dough into the TC set!
OK... I had to get caught up. So who's going??? Sugar or Cirie. Now they're talking Stephanie.
Sugar better not cry at TC tonight.
Amanda is like Thanks Jeff-- put the spotlight on me....
Gorgeous tribal...if it can be called gorgeous.
No wonder they couldn't solve the puzzle, Sugar couldn't even work the pen! LOL
I say Sugar goes. It's never the one you expect.
Bye, bye Sugar.
Sorry, Lynn1 and Brent.
Aww, bye Sugar. Loved you on Gabon, but this is going to be a cut throat season. I'm glad it wasn't Cirie! :)
Bye Sugar... great first episode...
Ahh! Thursday nights are really good again.
I think they made the right choice. It's just the first one out. Everything Tom said about Cirie and Cirie said about Stephenie could have been said about just about anyone ... except Sugar. Jeff is right, all of them are threats.
Sugar is a sweet and pretty girl, but compared to the others she is weak.
See you guys next week.
So fun to get everyone back together tonight for the big show. I'll be seeing the actual show this weekend, probably, so it's always nice to see it through your eyes on the live blog.
Bye Sugar!
I have Cirie in the pool but watching her work for the vote out I remember why I dislike her. She orchestrated many previous players to be ousted with her persuasiveness (?). Even though she does little in challenges.
Hey guys!
I'm still waiting and I promise I didn't peek.
I just now found out that I got Randy in the pool. UGH! This will be a real test of my benevolent spirit. LOL
I'm really excited to see the cast once again. It's like going to your high school reunion, lot's of familiar faces, some you like and some you still dislike. ;)
I have to go finish cleaning up the kitchen and get set for the show to start.
Anyone want to trade Randy in the pool with me? J/K LOL He must have some redeeming qualities, no?
Miss everyone!
Ciao~
Zoetawny, very nice graphic you came up with again. Wouldn't quite be the same here without them. Hope everything is going well with your family.
BTW, wonder what's up with Rob in that preview for next week. Did he say help me at the end of it? He didn't look good at all.
Zoe, you just made me grateful that I have Danielle... lol.
Thank you for the ever rockin' graphic and for checking in. It's SO great to hear from you!! I too hope things with your family are going well.
Jackie and all -- what do you make of the chickens? were they wild of planted?
Zoetawny... good to e-see you again. So sorry you have Randy. I'd have to give him away if he was mine.
It IS great to see everybody back again. We hanger's on miss the live blogging. And just think, TAR is on Sunday... YAY!
Zoe...I too hope your family is well and your doing ok as well.
Sydney - I haven't a clue.
Yea!! I'm finally watching! Not reading comments yet. As usual, I don't want to read any spoilers about the show.
I loved how the music changed when the villain's choppers came in. Then it was like they were kicking sand in the face of the heros.
I don't believe Boston Rob actually talked about the Hero's "egos". Kettle, black!!
ooh, Laurie! I just read enough to see that you brought Baileys! YUM!
Hey Granny, I'm watching the show with you! I'm not so sure our tv is big enough for all the egos on this show. This is my first reunion show and it's interesting. Coach and Russell I know but the other guys are new to me. Pretty funny to watch them posture around each other. They each want to be 'cock of the walk' but they need to remain friends to make it further in the game. I love it!
Those villains have certainly earned their name! The really fight dirty. I can't believe that Courtney hollered out "Break her arm", then Stephanie had her shoulder pulled out.
Then Sandra unhooked Sugar's bra. Did she really think that would stop her from getting up and running, bra or no bra?? Maybe she didn't watch the season Sugar was on.
On Survivor Samoa, chickens escaped and then were caught, and then released again by Russell. Were they ever caught again, or could these be those chickens and/or their offspring?
Finally finished the show, and reading the comments. I had to hold my breath when they started the flip flopping on who to vote out. Cirie's my pool girl. I'm no where close to ready to have her voted out yet.
Great to see everyone here again and can hardly wait for next week!
I'm so sad that I have Coach....the roach... I dislike him.

Did you see the very end when Sugar said they were probably right to vote her out? She really was an amateur in that crowd and keeping everyone awake all night was a big mistake.
That was a great show but I hope it's not so violent next week. They will need to bring in more medical help!
Bye Bye Sugar. I was not a big fan of Sugar in her season so I won't be mourning her getting voted off even though she was my pool pick.
For now I am going to cheer for Boston Rob and Russell. They are the only 2 villians I like. I don't think either of them will win but I find them entertaining and they do bring some excitement/laughter to the show for me.
Hi All,
I'm bummed that I missed watching along with you all last night. What a great first episode! I agree with Sydney - Survivor should be 2 hours every week. I'm loving the Heroes tribe, and think getting rid of Sugar was the best move. Someone mentioned how beautiful Amanda is (my pool pick by the way) and I was thinking the same thing last night. Was she always that gorgeous? Her eyes are stunning. James is as yummy as ever. I couldn't believe the injuries so early on. I have to say though, I love myself some Boston Rob. I was so glad when he started the fire. Up yours Randy! I think things between him and Russell are going to be very interesting. That is if Rob doesn't die next week. What was up with that promo!
Oh yeah, what was that? I think maybe he fell and got knocked unconscious. I hear that can happen. Now, Rbennie, do you have a written excuse for your absence last night?
Lynn1 -- it's SO GOOD to hear from you! Girl, what has been keeping you busy? We missed you!
PDX- I didn't notice that but you're right. The villians helicopters DID kick sand in the Heroes faces!
Jackie-- on your comment about Sandra supporting Rupert... that makes me like her better now, thanks!
Dusty -- I feel for you. You can jump pool raft and float around with us -- we have Danielle. Monty, the only thing I like about that is that I'm on the same team as you. Otherwise I told Siz that I was going to add to the crowd rooting for James -- and Boston Rob
I hate to write this but my sister planted this in my head. She said that perhaps Colby ran away from Sugar and didn't want to snuggle with her because he's gay! HA. I don't think so but what do you think?
Hey Lynn1 ... good to see you back.
Colby just wanted to get some sleep the little dear. LOL I have to admit, Sugar was being a pain. My question is, why didn't someone tell her to hush up!!!
I did love that when her top was gone, she gave the camera's both fingers... that was funny.
I still don't remember Candice. She'll fly under the radar for a while I think so I'm safe in the pool for a little while.
Laurie- a little late here (you're the first post and I think I'm going to be the last) but I'm pleased with our pool boy Colby. I loved the whole 2 hour show and the lively discussion here!
Sandra is nasty, Randy's still a jerk, and Tyson is so full of himself-they can all go sooner rather than later. Sugar didn't really fit with this group; both the heroes and the villains are too strategic and/or cutthroat.
I have always thought Amanda was gorgeous and rooted for her in her seasons. I hope she does well again. And other than my pool boy Colby, I have to root for Rupert; he is my personal all-time favorite Survivor, and just an all-around good guy.
ML
Hey guys! I sure miss this room. I just hi-jacked a computer to say hello and that I LOVE this new season of Survivor. I'm just surprised my (husband) Ozzy wasn't asked back as a hero. *sigh*
Love looking at James' body, sad that Sugar got first to go. It's gonna be a great season!!
That reminds me Petals, did anyone ever answer what happened to Ozzy and Amanda? Are they still a couple?
ML
ML - You won't guess who Ozzy is rumored to be with now: Daniele Donato, Evil Dick's daughter.
Poor Ozzy!
eeeeeewwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!! From Amanda to Danielle- what a downgrade!
ML
I love Survivor!
