It's HERE -- the 28th season of Survivor! Of course, with two seasons per year, that's only 14 years, but still ...! This is the first time they've gone with a brains, beauty, brawn scenario on the show, so we'll see how that works out. I still say the qualities tend to overlap and infringe upon each other.
Lifeguard Laurie's random blog pool picks were posted late last night. However, for ease of trying to pick out your pick when we don't know these castaways yet, here it is again for easy reference:
Beauty
Jeremiah Wood - LostChyld
Alexis Maxwell - Donna in FL, Petals
Brice Johnston - Karen in CA, PDX Granny
Jefra Bland - David, Sharon S.
LJ McKanas - Lorraine, ML
Morgan McLeod - Donna in Alabama, ORKMommy
Brains
David Samson - Jennasmom
Garrett Adelstein - Brenda, Paula Bell
J'Tia Taylor - Knickelpeed, Merrilee
Kass McQuillen -Delee, MikesGirl
Spencer Bledsoe - Becky and Monty924
Tasha Fox - DKNYNC, Rochelle
Brawn
Trisha Hegarty - Jackie
Cliff Robinson - Dusty, Margo
Lindsey Ogle - Brian
Sarah Lacina - Buzzmaan, Tammy
Tony Viachos - Lynn1, Zoetawny
Woo Hwang - Laurie, SueGee
As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to see the latest! As always, the real party is down in the comments. Come join us! And, if you're not in the pool, go ahead and find a castaway to cheer on for the season!
Each tribe chooses a leader -- LJ Beauty, Brawn is Sarah, Brains is David
Leaders have to decide who is the weakest and most expendable. LJ picks Morgan. Sarah picks Trish (my blog person, eek!). David picks Garrett. The three chosen head to camp early, don't leave the game, and need to make a "decision" on the part of their tribes.
Notes on trees -- help themselves with a clue to a hidden idol or help their tribe (bag of rice for the tribes). Garrett helps himself. Trish goes for the rice. Morgan goes for the idol. Garrett found his idol. Morgan, caught by her arriving tribe members, lied and told them she picked the supplies over comfort for them. Not too shabby thinking, I must say.
Oh my. Beauty got fire first!
The immunity challenge is a convoluted obstacle course ending in a puzzle. First two tribes done win immunity. The reward is fire. First is a fire-making kit, but the second winning tribe only gets flint to make fire.
Jeff calls the Brains effort one of the worst ever coming out of the gate. Beauty wins! Brawn is second. Brains will go to tribal council.
Time to tally the votes:
J'Tia, David, J'Tia, David, David, David ... Yay! He's obnoxious!
Second immunity challenge time! Swimming out into bamboo cage, retrieve fish traps, puzzle. First two win immunity. Reward - 1st tribe, large fishing kit. 2nd, fishing supplies. Brawn tribe wins! J'Tia is once again screwing up for Brains. Beauty was way behind, but is now pulling into second place. Beauty is second place. Brains goes to tribal once again.
Tony (Brawn) found a clue to the idol in their reward basket. He's got the idol! He sounds like he's having an orgasm. :X
Second Tribal Council. J'Tia admits she threw the rice in the fire after Garrett decided they should have an open talk about voting her out.
The tally -- J'Tia, Garrett, J'Tia, Garrett, Garrett ... voted out with his idol in his pocket. Wait, even worse ... he forgot to bring it to tribal because he was so sure it would be J'Tia going home!

I have strawberry pina coladas. 2 big frozen pitchers :)
Sounds good to me!
Woohoo, love the drinks Petals. I have crab stuffed mushrooms. Dig in!
~~~SPLASH~~~
Helloooooo Jeremiah :)
hi everyone! So excited that it's time for the season to start!
Hi Jackie & Petals. I have chicken chilli and Mexican Corn Bread. I already hate tony.
I think my Spencer is going to be a dud. Too arrogant, even though he hates that in others. :/
Hi monty & Sharon S
I've missed all of you. Too long between seasons :)))
Luving the mushrooms
Yes, honey, no one votes off the pretty girls...do they even watch the show? I mean, even if they aren't fans, stream a few episodes once you're selected.
Whew! Almost missed it! Hi everyone. I have someone who is a brain.
He already reminds my of Cappy... eeekkk
I like the cop :)
Hi everyone
True Monty. Hi Joe Hi Lynn1, Hi Sharon S, Hi Petals Hi Jackie!!!
hello LJ
you never want to be in the position of the leader
I would not be smiling
great rule, trust cute more than hot, heh
Hey, everyone!
Joe!!!!!!
hi folks,
It does seem like it has been FOREVER since Survivor was last on.
That would suck, actually.
Blazer boy is talking too much. Whatever your strategy, buddy, keep it to yourself on Day One.
This is going to backfire on the leaders.
cool twist right off the bat!
completely agree Joe
That borders on unfair - depending on what comes next. They intentionally set up someone as a target by forcing them to be leader and then make a decision that wasn't really a decision.
oh geese, I thought I was going to work tonight. NOT
Hi everyone!!!! Here we go!!!!!
First impressions???
Penny
Interesting to see what they all do with it. I'd be selfish!
That is a horribly difficult decision. If your tribemates find out you chose the clue (maybe from the other tribes), you are a target. On the other hand, this game has no loyalty so no one will thank you for the rice.
should she have taken it?
maybe so early in the game it's a good move though Joe
oh Morgan, girl you are NOT all that. Hope you are first to go...
Hello everyone. Late as usual, =]
Yummmm, stuffed mushrooms and pina coladas to wash them down.
Agreed Petals
Hi Penny, Hi David
Interesting twist.
OK, Now that there is a commercial…. I brought my traditional homemade guar… a VAT of it! Have baked chips for those eating lite and Hint of Lime Tostitos… enough for all
Hey, David. Grab some shrooms and a pina colada!
It's a catch 22 anyway you look at it. They do that on purpose to test the dynamics of the tribe.
Hey everyone that just got in.
This may be a fun season to watch, with all newbies.
I like this new twist. Still don't know who my pool pick is, but I suppose that is good thing in terms of at least making it through the first day!
Hi gang! Newby to the pool, but not following Jackie...so right off the start my guy finds himself outed and finds an idol...nice. Will think of a yummy snack for next show.
My blog pool pick is the one who decided to share the rice. Hmm.
Monty - Cappy! Wow, I'd almost forgotten him.
We have a few that can cross-over between the 3 tribes (Garrett seems to be (and have) the full package heehee
Oh ... and hi, everyone! Welcome aboard Paula!
well how are you outed? You could have been swimming
Welcome Paula.
~~~SPLASH~~~
Poor Me one Petals!! I'm home!!
Hi to everyone
SueGee on the Left Coast
That was pretty smart by the hottie...
Hey Paula!
I am sooooo glad it is all new people. Sooooo tired of returnee's on all of the shows. They had their 15 minutes, time to give someone else a chance.
Love the twist.
She just called the two guys old. How funny.
such a flimsy bra to have worn to Survivor for 30 days?
wow - I'm impressed about that fire!
Okay, what would have you done? Rice or immunity idol? I don't know, Trish probably should have taken the idol. Who would have known?
*sliding a colada to Sue*
mmmm...good mushrooms, Monty.
Oh, I think him being an ex NBA player, will matter to them. They will not want him to win. Yikes.
I totally zoned out for a while, lol. Had a you know what.... phone call. Reminder to self, turn OFF the ringer during Survivor. My skills are getting rusty.
Cliff can just pluck the coconuts from the trees, haha
good guess cop girl I love it!
I love how two of the brawn out of the six are from NJ -- Cliff the NBA guy and Tony the Jersey City cop.
I don't understand some of these lies. I mean, who would care if he was a cop.
Firefighter/EMT, Police Officer... I'm telling you, HE IS CAPPY!
Smart chick!!!
I like Cliff, Jackie!
Gary says Garrett is wearing a "wienie bikini"
OK, there's my girl Tasha
Hi, Paula. Welcome to the tribe. You will love it here. We don't vote anyone out.
I never really know who I have each show till we're WELL into the game, heh
You watch, she'll build the best shelter and they'll vote her out first.
Just noticed this is a 2 hour premiere, not 1. better slow down on the drinks, =D
Oh great, I got this nuclear engineer as my pool pick and they'll probably vote her off first. :-(
HI Becky
passing the guar
There's no slowing down at the blog pool, David. ;-)
GUAC I mean….
If we find a lampshade is missing, we shall look for it on thine head David. :)
wwwwwwhhhhhhhhhiiirrrrrrrrrr
(blending another batch of pina colada)
OK…. 2 hours. I'm pulling out the ice cream sundae bar. I just brought choc, peanut butter, and strawberry. BUT I have hot fudge or caramel sauce, and of course, whipped cream, and cherries. Place your orders.
I knew what you meant Rochelle, and I love the guac and chips... yummy!
WHO IS WATCHING THE OSCARS SUNDAY NIGHT???
Joe - ikr? Why lie about being a cop? I liked him before he lied about it.
Rochelle your Guac and chips go great with my chicken chili
So many good movies this year, it's going to be a great oscars - not like some years when one movie sweeps it all (zzzz). I try to see them all before the show. Just have Philomena and Hustle to go
Me Rochelle!!!! I'm so excited!
It does Lynn. Yours is just perfectly spiced too. Not too tongue flambé!
He said why he lied about being a cop - so people would not think he had powers of deduction etc...
Have to grab more shrooms out of the oven.
me too, Rochelle. All but Philomena & Nebraska. Great movie season :)
It does, Lynn... the chicken chili is yummy too
Passing her glass back to Petals for a refill....
I've got dinner in the oven and a load of wash going, so I'm ready to party now!!!
Who has the hottest bod - Their opinion and in yours LOL
SueGee on the Left Coast
I know he said why he lied, Rochelle but the lie proves he's a moron. People tend to side with cops and fireman, not against them. And the down side to being caught in a lie is worse than someone, for some odd reason, figuring a cop is a master strategist.
He did say (the cop) in the pre-show video that he was not going to play an ethical game but lie, cheat, steal instead.
The dressed the contestants again this season - the tribes are all color-coordinated, not just buffed.
The dressed the contestants again this season - the tribes are all color-coordinated, not just buffed.
He can complain about the brain tribe falling apart, but this is largely a brawn contest.
Lol, my tribe are a bunch of losers right off the bat. SIGH!
Oh crap. My pool pick looks like she'll be gone if the Brain tribe loses. Crap, crap, crap...
I think that's a bit too much mocking, Jeff. You put young, brawny studs on one team and a bunch of nerdy brains on another tribe and you're surprised that they can't carry chests and pull carts?
Are they doing this with two immunities/two tribals tonight?
SueGee on the Left Coast
Beauty won one… that's one for all the blonde jokes hehe
That nuclear whatever-she-is chick is only good at standing around. @@
Don't know SueGee but hi.
There are too many people to watch to stay caught up here by the pool too!
My tribe first to go to tribal council.
Sue - judging on the time, I'd say so. But I don't really know.
noticed the color Petals - they've done that for qa few season's haven' they? Like we don't notice or???
ANd Penny, who do you have?
Get your hot fudge or Caramel Sundaes right here.
got time to make them during the commercial. I myself am going for peanut butter ice cream and some hot fudge, nothing else…
Petals, you would think they could look around and figure out why the producers told them to wear whatever and already know who they'll be playing with to start.
should not get rid of Garrett the one guy who has brawn on the brain tribe this early,
I don't think I like blazer boy already!
Since I haven't had dinner yet I think I have to pass on the hot fudge...but it is tempting
SueGee on the Left Coast
I would take a sundae but I am sick of seeing cold stuff this winter. Too much snow. I will just soak in the jacuzzi next to the pool and think warm thoughts instead. =]
Penny, I looked and saw it as J"tia. Her honesty might just kick j'tia into gear
Sounds like a plan David. We've been buried by snow here this winter. move over, I;ll join you since there are no takers yet :)
What an idiot thing to do... looking at day 29! Get through Day 1 first!
And I may need to drink something else because the dreaded "Pina Colada" song is buzzing through my brain right now.
SueGee on the Left Coast
And now, it's buzzing through mine SueGee… you know how that happens...
Rochelle, I have the nuclear engineer. My tribe lost. For a bunch of smart guys, they know nothing. If they vote out T'shia, I'm out in the first week. :-(
I'm thinking it will be her too Penny… you want to hop on my float and share Tasha from the Brains with me and DKNYNC?
Excuse me, three days.
Haha, my pool pick is afraid of spiders. I am too!
Dang it, now I'm humming that song too. LOL
I'm torn between the 2 candidates to go. At least David contributes.
I don't know if I like this tribe...at all. Yikes.
Hey, even Jeff is getting a little wet
Lordy, I am so glad I'm not there in the rain.
I give her credit for trying to work it and save herself here...
That one guy on Brains looks like he could be Neil Patrick Harris's brother.
Me too Becky - I like watching this from the comfort of my living room.
True dat Jax
Nice side-step, Spencer.
I would not hire Ja'tia in the real world
Becky, I'm thinking our boy is safe on this one.
Tie or David?
They can call them the "brains", but they are more a bunch of asocial idiots. Have you ever seen a tribe make so many bad interpersonal moves in the first week?
What does David do? He rubs me the wrong way.
But brain girl rubs me wrong too. This is a hard tribe to like.
LOL, you're right Joe. The only strategic one is Garrett, with his poker face & brain.
I liked another poker guy in a past season...Monty & Jackie would remember his name - Johnathan?
Monty, I think we are safe on this vote too.
I got the NBA player. woot woot!
Thanks Laurie
I agree with Joe on the asocial idiots. Not sure if Jonathon was a poker player...
hi margo!
David owns the Marlins Baseball team.
Buh-bye blazer boy
David owns the Marlins Baseball team.
wow. that's rough.
Becky - He's the president of the Miami Marlins sports team, whatever they play.
For the 2nd hour I have Randzzo's King Cake to celebrate Mardi Gras.
WOW I'm surprised!
Wow, I squeeked by that one. I was certain J'tia would go. Wow.
I like the NO exile island this season.
PENNY! Your girl engineered a coup!
Hey Margo!!! *Passing guac* and just FYI - Virtual iice cream sundaes custom made here if you are in need...
What show did he honestly think he was going on????
there is some interesting & beautiful wildlife on this island.
Ut oh - save me a piece of cake for the end...Is it the one with a ring inside?
SueGee on the Left Coast
Monty -- I agree. I was getting tired of redemption island. I'm also tired of Garret (is that his name) whining about wanting be play poker and be served rather than working to survive.
whoops
Yeah, she did. I'm glad she at least showed her smart side!!! I really do not like Kass, though.
Sue Gee it has a plastic baby in it. The baby represents the baby Jesus. The King represents the 3 Kings who brought gifts
Did they just put holes in their boat?
Yummy. I have only been to NO once and it was the week after Mardi Gras.
SueGee on the Left Coast
What are they starring at? Shouldn't they be building something?
Garret makes me laugh. All her crayons in the crayon box are not bright. LOLOL
You can google randazzo's Camellia City Bakery King cakes and learn all about it
we were gifted a King Cake last week, the doc that sent it thought mardi gras had already begun @@
He sends them every year, we have a collection of tiny babies, LOL
(geesh, Morgan - conceited much?)
I don't like Lindsey. She is rude and mean.
SueGee, I've been to NOLA three times and last one the following week after Mardi Gras. I love it too. Lynn, I'll celebrate it with hurricanes for all next week. A day late, but still fun.
Okay, maybe the beauty tribe has the right idea. Chill out. These other tribes want to argue and annoy each other. This will really be interesting.
Lynn, coordinate with Petals. She loves her Mardi Gras :)))
Petals Mardi Gras has been going on for several weeks
My calendar has it starting on March 4? Or is March 4th Fat Tuesday?
I wonder what these people think when they see themself on screen. It amazes me when a tribe gets rid of the stronger player at the beginning.
March 4th is Mardi gras day Lent starts March 5
Moonpie, moonpie!!!!
Mardi Gras is the 4th and Fat Tuesday. I'll have a whole lot of left over Hurricane fixin's for the pool party next week. :))
I love moonpies Too!
They could have helped J'Tia a little bit.
Hurricanes next week!! YEAH
SueGee on the Left Coast
Okay, this brain tribe needs to pick it up. Geesh. It is bad for them. They may be brains, but they certainly have no brawn at all. At least the other teams have a mixture.
Good, they've picked up, finally.
Uh, Beauty is in trouble.
What the heck is up with beauty? I don't see how they could possibly be soooo far behind. They are also a very physical group - apparently beauty requires youth. LOL. No old folks on that tribe.
They are doing something wrong. Wonder what is holding them up?
J'tia needs to pick it up. This is her chance to stay in the game.
Wow, Brawn has brains, too!
Penny, I think your girl will be in trouble if they lose.
J'tia is not good at ... much.
Come on Brains, UGH
Clearly J'tia thinks she's better at puzzles than she is. Her overconfidence got her into trouble originally. And now her overconfidence cost them a huge lead...
I wish Jeff would not do that. Brains never met puzzle smart or anything else. Very sad.
I bet Brains regrets that last vote now...LOL
WhooooooHOOO
Crap....there goes J'tia. :-(
The brain tribe isn't going to last very long at this rate
OOPs, I meant to say, brains never meant they could do puzzles. Yep, bet they are regretting getting rid of David, now. They are a little cocky though. They do not work together at all.
Petals said...
J'tia is not good at ... much.
HA!
Penny, if your girl is voted out and you want to stay with the BRAIN??? tribe, you can come up on the raft with Monty and I.
