Welcome one, welcome all! Yep, it's a new season of Survivor at hand! Zoetawny was kind enough to create a new blog logo for the show and, knowing what she's been going through, she rocks indeed!
Lifeguard Laurie is running the pool -- the random draw has these picks:
Troy Robertson -- Lynn1, Margo
Sabrina Thompson -- Leigh, meb
Nina Acosta -- Laurie, ML
Monica Culpepper -- Jenna's mom, Monty 924
Michael Jefferson -- Jackie, Nana in the NW
Matt Quinlan -- Glenn, Pam
Leif Manson -- Estelle, PDX Granny
Kourtney Moon -- Ed in Ohio, Petals
Kimberly Spradlin -- Dusty, rbennie
Kat Edorsson -- Donna, Rochelle
Jonas Otsuji -- dla, Sue Gee
Jay Byars -- DKNYNC, Tammy
Greg Smith -- Delee, Terry
Colton Cumbie -- Caela, Zoetawny
Christina Cha -- Buzzman
Chelsea Meissner -- Brent McKee
Bill Posley -- Becky
Alicia Rosa --Ann
If you didn't make the pool cut-off, feel free to cheer on your favorite team for the win anyway! I was in shock that my pool pick actually won last season. I guess I can't depend on that two seasons in a row, eh? Well ... maybe I can! We'll see.
Margo will be running the TAR pool -- if you want in on that one, please reply to the cast post I made earlier today!
Survivor fans ready?
Jeff divided them into two tribes -- men and women. But we knew that would happen. They have 60 seconds to strip any goods they can off the truck they arrived in, but they don't know they'll be sharing a camp ... yet. Uh-oh. My pool pick stole from the women!
Jeff gave each tribe a map to the camp, yet still hasn't told them it's the same camp. He told them hidden idols will be in play, but no Redemption Island. (YAY!) The girls are already forming a "final five" as they hike to the camp. They arrive to the camp first and see both flags, so the cat is out of the bag.
They're all chasing chickens. One girl catches TWO -- Chelsea. Now the guys are hitting them up to share. Colton is already alienating his tribe by hanging around the girls. Will he spy for the guys or just hang with the women on his own?
The guys got a fire going first. Sabrina offered a chicken for fire. Hmmm. One gal wants the axe back that they stole. Heh, the girls went to go steal back the axe while the men slept and stole fire instead.
The women now are weaving twenty fronds for the guys in exchange for fire because their stolen fire pooped out.
One of the women (still not good on names yet, black woman) found the Manano (mens tribe) idol and must give it up before Tribal Council. She chooses Colton who has already groveled around for it with the women.
Immunity Challenge time! It's physical -- jumping into a net, balance beam. Uh-oh -- it looks like Kourtney might have broken her wrist. She needs x-rays. Due to her dropping out, the men win by forfeit. They have the choice to take the win and run or continue the challenge. The guys take the win.
Tribal Council time ... Kourtney still not back. She's their major pick to go. But one of the girls (Alicia) wants to get Christina out as she thinks she's in too much with the men. Whoa! Christina/Alicia cat fight ... MEOW.
Kourtney's wrist is broken in a few places, she'll need surgery. She's out of the game. No one is getting voted out.
My verdict? This could definitely be an interesting season, for sure! I just hope the women get together a bit more. The cohesiveness of the men (so far, except Colton) is going to hurt them.

I brought sangria!
Whooooohooo.
Hey Jackie & everyone. Missed you guys!
I got Kourtney Moon in the pool, so Go Courtney!
I've got wings, wings, wings. All the sauces on the side. Everything from sweet BBQ to Blazing :)
Woohoo
Thanks for the drink, girl... here we gooo
Homina Homina - That Jay is eye candy.
My Kourtney is the oddbird, LOL
mmm...wings! Whoo!!
Let's go!!!
rooting for the little guy, Jay and Kourtney!
*totally distracted by Jay*
Hmm, I have Monica Cullpepper. Can't wait to get to know her. Where is everyone?
Hi gang
I was thinking the same thing, Mendy!
I buzzed Joe earlier, but he must be working.
:(
But Margo should be here...?
Jackie is lofting, prolly.
Hey, guys!
Who's excited to see Rachel and Brandon on TAR? LMAO
Joe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(thanks for answering)
Well hello Joe. Hi Jackie... hope you're feeling better. I don't know how much I'll like this one camp thing?
"buff lil dude". love it!
Joe - wanna float with me?
"...it puts the lotion in the basket..."
Joe, Rachel and Brandon are ratings gold for TAR. You know they will fight and cry at the drop of a hat.
my girl is the outcast :(
Hey, everyone!
Should we begin speculating now about which people are gonna be showmancing?
The great chicken round-up.
oh no..chickens, my least favorite thing on this show
Well, we know who isn't afraid to fight the chickens.
wtg ladies! hold on to your chickens.
LOL, Petals. where's the like button on here ;-)
I think the guys might have a rough road ahead with a few of these women.
Good thoughts, please. My youngest son Chis is having back surgery today.
The last I heard they still hadn't taken him into surgery. That was three hours ago.
I am a wreck.
Monty, I'll be curious to see if Brenchel are any different away from the BB house. They are still very (too?) competitive, but they will have more control over their destiny than in the house. It was their interpersonal skills that got them in trouble.
Hang in there, Becky. We're sending the good juju.
Monty, these wings are awesome!!mmmmmmm
OMG, he's flaming
Hey Becky!!!!!
I think Colton isnt gonna last....
Love the uniform: (head to toe)
buff, pecs, abs, denim - ahhhhh
Hi everyone! Is it Survivor time again already?
Tuned in late. Looks like Kourtney is my rooting interest. Haven't had a chance to pick my personal fave' yet.
Not sure I like the 'Battle of the Sexes' theme. But it just started so I'll give it a chance.
Do I have Troyzan? yikes!
Sending healing vibes, Becky. Joe, you know they will bicker and be just like they were on BB. I have no doubt that they have a meltdown or two... tears from Rachel included. It is a different world outside that pressure cooker, I agree, but I think Rachel will still fall apart whenever they are faced with a task that could put them out of the race. I hope she proves me wrong. :)
Joe, flaming? He is flaming like the surface of the sun!
Ick factor: HIGH!
(whereas Jay is...as HOT as the sun)
Joe, you hate Jay yet?
Leave it to the hottie to make the fire
Becky - prayers for your son. :( sending healing energy your way
Hi Ed! You & I have Kourtney, the outkast. LOL
Sorry, Jay is ick!
1st hookup prediction:
the hot lawyer guy & Kim.
then Jay & Kat (the idiot chick)
Hang in there, Becky!
Thank you, guys. You are the best.
monty - LOL. Jay reminds me of every redneck a**hole I went to high school with!
Me too, lol
Sangria anyone?? Fresh oranges, lemons, lemons, cherries....brandy of course.
Oh lord petals our girl has a motorcycle 'tat' on her back. This should be quite a ride! LOL
To Becky sending thoughts & prayers for your son. All the best!
Petals,
Don't really like or dislike anyone yet. Of course the fact that I'm doing my taxes and only listening probably explains that fact.
I'm tempted to like tattoo girl.
Becky, you could use a glass...*filling frosty glass*
The funny thing is that these chicks don't realize that one of the guys is a frickin Sports Illustrated swimsuit model photographer! Hello! He isn't impressed with you.
uhoh BFJoe,
If you like Kourtney (tattoo), she is my pool chick.
You've never liked anyone I root for, you'd better re-think. LOL, xoxoxoxoxx
great challenge
LOVE LEE!!!!!
Lee is WeeLee man!
uhoh, Ed, our chick is injured (natch)
Well, you all have a jump on me. I don't even know who my girl is yet, lol.
oh fudgsicle. I am gonna jump on Jay's or Lee's team...anyone care which one?
Howdy everyone!! I hate these weekday starts before I can get home from work!!
SueGee on the left coast
Hi Sue!!!
Well, this sucks!
Hiya Petals!! I'll take a drink. Do we have a dufuss to play the drinking game yet?
Becky - prayers for your son!!
SueGee
Completely weird first night of Survivor. Who will go home? I don't have a clue or even know more than half of them.
I don't know why they are surprised. The whole goal is immunity, you'd have to be dumb to give up an automatic immunity for...what? Good will with the enemy?
OK. Why not trade the idol for fire?
*passing a frosty glass of sangria to Sue*
Good question Sue! We need a drinking word. Hmm... no one has said too much yet.
"love" seems to be overused... LOL
Jumping into the pool ... and it's raining here! Is it safe to be in the pool when it's raining? Now to read what's been going on!
how about "gay" or "little"?
Laurie!!! Hey lady!
so if Tattoo girl gets pulled by medic and they vote someone out the women will be down by 2 already!
Monty, totally agree. This is the oddest beginning. I like it. They are devouring themselves.
Laurie, as long as there's no lightening.
Thanks for the thoughts, prayers and drink.
They would be so stupid to vote out someone then lose Koutney.
it's interesting that the guys are more together than the women
These girls need to get their act together and start to work together.
Lol. The one person I half liked gone before the first vote!
Okay - there goes my girl. With Laurie's permission, may I be re-assigned to another pool person>?
Ed? You coming?
The women will self destruct if they keep at this pace. Ugh!
Great minds, Joe. But the situation may change since the girls have fire. Wait until those guys start smelling the chicken cooking!
I didn't know how well Kourtney would do, but I kind of liked her. Rats.
Petals & Ed, I am alone on my float. I have no idea who my person, Bill Posey is.
see ya sunday
Need to get busy. Catch you Sunday.
The only thing I know for certain is... I need to watch this entire episode again to get the names right, lol.
The girls are one down, and that could mean they go on a roll. I would like that actually. I still need to see my Monica in action. :)
Everyone have a good night. See you on Sunday/late.
aww, Becky. :) I would have jumped on Troyzan, but I love you - so I am jumping on your float!
GO BILL (whoever he is!) LOL
Whoooo
Ewwww, you could see the break moment right there on her wrist. Ouch. I fell last Saturday night on ICE and I got by with a bad wrist sprain. Sorry Kourtney. :(
SPLASH - Soooo late to the party. I watched it then remembered about the blog. AK, I'm slipping.
I thought Donna and I were out because I thought Kat, who we have in the pool, was the name of the woman who broke her wrist... just because she wore the cat hat to start with. But that is Kourtney so woo wee.
I liked her too Jackie!
Since I am the pool person this time, I'm making the executive decision to add Ed in Ohio and Petals to two of the people who only have one person on the team.
Randomly (since I have no idea right now who those people who only have one are) Ed in Ohio gets the first one who has only one and Petals gets the second one. I think that leaves only one TAR contestant with one pool player.
Now I will go look to see who those two people on the list are.
BRB
Son is out of surgery and in recovery. Thanks for being there.
great premiere party Jackie!
Laurie, that is wonderful of you to do that.
Have a great evening everyone. :)
Becky - Yay! He'll be fine!
Thanks everyone for stopping by. Come back Sunday for TAR!

Oh! We had 4 with only 1 pool person. Okay then, whoever goes home next week gets the same privilege. They go to the last two people on this list. If one of the last two go home, the player goes to the one that's left. Now this makes perfect sense to me. If it doesn't make sense to you just hang in there. We are all in the pool for next week and for one week after that.
Lifeguard Laurie (posting as Laurie)
If you disagree with all this, speak up. It won't change anything but I do believe in free speech!
Laurie, may I join Becky on Bill's team?
Nothing against Brent or Chelsea. Just a personal thing, cuz Becky & I are pals :)
Yes, you may because I'm feeling very generous this evening. Of course, if he ends up winning then you owe me 1/3 of the winnings!!

Thanks for the all the goodies and drinks! YUM! I haven't watched yet but had to take a peek here to see who I got in the pool. Have to wait until AI is over, my husband's fav show, so I will watch via dvr at 10 PT time.
Colton is my guy. Well, I have one thing in common with him, his pet peeve.."ugly people who think they're hot". Are we talking Brachel now on TAR? Hope Colton doesn't get too flaming and ruin his chances.
OK, Petals, will be keeping my eye on Jay.
((((Becky)))) Prayers and positive thoughts go out to you on your son's back surgery. My husband has had 3 back surgeries so I'm familiar with all the different surgical procedures. Please do stop by and let us know how he's doing.
Catch you guys later!
Hey Laurie I know I'm late but can I join the pool? if not no worries i'll just tag along....once I figure ouy who everyone is.
Hi Donna in FL,
Yep, I just added you to Brent McKee's float so you have Chelsea Meissner. I haven't seen the show yet so I don't know if you have a winner or a loser.

Thanks Laurie! I saw the show but it takes me a couple of shows to remember who is who! LOL!
This season is really stupid. Men will wipe out women early so not really good in the beginning. Mixed teams are much more fair.
