Anyone else catch the series premiere last night? It was a real good first episode. Great cast IMO. Looks like it should be an awesome season. Really looking forward to seeing how it all plays out.
Yeah, that was a great first episode. Just finished watching it today. Sad to see Sugar go though. When does Russell find the idol is what I want to know? ;-)
A bunch of hot girls this season. Amanda is boring and her face isn't the best, but her body was made for bikini's. I'm getting real annoyed with all the Russell screen time. I understood it in Samoa because the cast sucked in general, but he doesn't need to be in every other confessional telling everyone how great he is. He takes the show way too seriously. I really hope BRob owns his *** and shuts him up once and for all.
Its going to be a great season except for one thing Spoiler the winner is suppose ti be (I wont ruin it)
I think the thing with Russell is that (according to what I was told) HvV was shot directly after Samoa. So, they were probably still riding on his popularity to some extent. As far as Boston Rob goes, I'm sick and tired of him. Dude thinks his s**t don't stink. I mean, he's a legend in his own mind. And, c'mon..this is his third one! Isn't his 15 hours of fame up yet? Having said that, he does seem to be a natural born leader. Spoiler And, he did own them all by making fire without flint. And, I liked his comment to Jeff at the beginning when Jeff asked him about being on the villains. "I'm a villain?" LOL. Aptly put about Amanda, CK. But, I really dig Stephanie. Chick is hot, tough and the ultimate competitor. Spoiler That deal with her shoulder being popped back in and her ready to roll directly afterward pretty much sums up her competitive spirit. Tough as nails. I'm pulling for her to go deep. Along with Ruppert of course. Probably my two all time favorite players. Yessir...lookin' like a really good season.
Judging by the previews for next week, Boston Rob won't be owning anyone. Although I wouldn't put it past him to be faking it for show and strategy.
I was bummed that Sugar went too. I really like the way she treats people. You can see her reactions to "mean people" and they are typically what most of us would like to say or do but dont. She did make a major mistake trying to snuggle with Colby. First off, thats why he and Jerry turned into enemies back in season two. Second, despite the fact he's macho he may not even like girls. If he does like girls, then he approaches the game with a no nonsense mentality. Sugar got in his space and he didn't appreciate it.
I hate Stephanie. When my brother and I saw that she was going to be a villian we said things that mostly sounded like "She's a hero? I hate that *****!" Usually if they show a promo like that they're trying to trick you a little bit. Who knows though Rob is 6 years older and doesn't look like the athlete he used to be. Rob is still the best that ever played IMO. Russell ran a season GREAT but Rob did the same thing with the All Stars but ended up marrying the girl who won the million.
Wow, what a follow up to a great premier. I don't know what's happened to James, but clearly he's out of the running for winner. You don't rebound from outbursts like that. I can only imagine more are coming. Tom and Colby's stock just shot up in my book. Tom's "Make that three..." was awesome. The only two heroes worth their title. The Villain's tribe is painful to watch. Russell is boring as ****. All he ever says is some combination of "I'm the best." We get it dude... You think you're awesome. B-Rob is showing why he's one of the best ever. He's carrying the entire tribe on his back. The whole "crybabyitis" was good stuff. I always like a player who can make fun of himself. I'm also glad he realizes being the "hero" isn't going to fly. Stick to what works. The problem Rob has at this point is it's so clear he's above and beyond the best player on the Villains (and the entire game) that the tribe is going to have no choice but to dump him at some point. As valuable as he is, the threat of him dominating like he did in All-Stars is too great I think.
I've always viewed Colby as probably the nicest, least selfish person ever on the show. He gave up an almost certain million dollars when he didn't vote Tina off. He knew he had the win unless he had to go head to head with her. And he still cast his vote for Tina to be there at the final.
Remember this season was taped before the previous season results so Russell probably thinks he won the last one
According to his interviews after Somoa, he knew he lost because of the Jury Q and A. Seems about right, the jury hated him with a passion.
I agree, Tom and Colby went up in my book and James went down. Unfortunately, I could see them becoming targets after being on the losing side of that battle. That sucks b/c Tom, Colby and Boston Rob are probably my three favorite remaining players and I think all three will have targets on their backs.
I agree 100% with everything you said CK. I too was taken aback by James' comments and actions. Especially his last remark to Stephanie. I really think (hope) it will come back to bite him down the line. I gave a huge fist pump to Tom's comment "make that three." That was frickin' awesome. Dude has a lot of class. Colby too. But, I agree with Raffy...both now have a huge target on their back. They're both tough competitors though...I think they can handle it. And, I gotta give Boston Rob his props. He earned a lot of respect in my book for the things he said and what he has done to this point. Much more so than in seasons past. He is a big time player. Yessir...it's shaping up to be another great season. Just hopin' the heroes can get their s**t together and make a game of it. Villians are just powning them to this point.
Although they tried to make it look (through shaky POV cam) that Boston Rob collapsed last night, I'm not buying it, seeing as Jerri found him with a makeshift pillow under his head and his shoes at his side. Tom is just incredible. James has roid rage. More bikini shots of Amanda and Danielle, please. That is all.
Doc, I agree about Tom. I agree about James. And, I most definitely agree about Amanda and Danielle! And, is it my imagination, or has Danielle enhanced since her last Survivor appearance?
It seemed to me that Rob said he sat down and that was the last he remembered until the paramedics were speaking to him.
First Sugar, now Stephanie... two of my all time favorite females... I'll never understand why someone like Sirie makes it to the end. Like Colby said, in the beginning it's about team preservation not self preservation. Get the weakest out first to keep your numbers up.
I wan bummed that Stephanie got the boot, her in a bikini was fun to look at. Sugar, I could do with out. The reason why Cirie hangs around is because she lays low and, early on, votes for who people tell her to vote for. She listens and plays both sides and does it well.
Another great episode last night. Was glad to see Heroes finally win a challenge. But man, to do so in such convincing fashion was awesome. Colby vs. Boston Rob was the best match IMO. Although, Ruppert vs. Coach was great too. Coach is an idiot. Dude thinks he's such a bad ***, and he gets owned every time. LOL. Definitely some dysfunction in the Villains tribe too. Boston Rob is the only one that has a clue and/or is trying to keep the camp working. Or, so it would seem. Gonna be interesting to see if they implode or not. I think Heroes will be OK, as long as they keep winning. We'll see.
I always liked Stephanie before. That was until she kept running her frikkin' mouth during that puzzle challenge. James was right for calling her out. It was decided beforehand that everyone would listen to JT since he was involved in that puzzle before. The villians let BR call the shots for the same reason and they whipped the heroe's *** bad.
I guess I'm the only one willing to cut James some slack for now anyway. He had a good point about Stephenie during that challenge.
That was a great episode last night. So happy Cirie is gone. Jt with the bold move. Rupert. Such a follower. Man up Rupert
For sure, she was their weakest link. but JT may have screwed to pooch for himself, however, bold moves like that just may get him further along. He survives next week, he'll be OK. With his new alliance, it is 4 against 3 now. one of the 4 will think about that power move and defect. Probably will be James as all he wants to do is win.
Agreed CK. Also agreed Paul. Man, I really thought Colby was a goner. So glad JT went with Tom and Colby and voted out Cirie. I really wanted her gone. And, I don't really have anything against her, but I just don't think she belongs in the game. She can't compete physically. But, man is she ever a mastermind manipulator. See her manipulate Amanda (or, should I say A-man-duh)? Damn that girl may be nice to look at, but she's about as smart as a box of rocks. If Tom, Colby and JT can pull in one more (Amanda?), look for them to be strong by the time it's time to merge. Especially if they can win a couple more immunity challenges between now and then.
I don't think JT has any ambition of settling down in one alliance. With Cirie gone, he's in control of all the people. He's in good with everyone, regardless of his flipped vote. James and Amanda don't have a leg to stand on and need JT. Without Cirie, James and Amanda don't have a brain telling them what to do. They'll stick with JT. As Tom said, they'll make their apologies. Speaking of Tom, why would he or Colby not stick with Jt now that JT has stuck his neck out for them? No one trusts Candice (thanks to JT) and Rupert is riding coattails. I think JT played it perfectly. Without Cirie, there's no real thinkers left on the Heroes tribe. I think he's put himself in a major power position until the merge. Who knows what will happen until then.
