One such moment of unforgettable awesomeness was Mike's immunity win, coupled with Carolyn's II play, that sent Dan out the door. I'm still loving that one.

Indeed. That was glorious.

I finally finished off the reunion, and seeing who got voted for the next season. Some people I don't know from earlier seasons, and plenty I know and like from more recent seasons. I think the next season will be fantastic with these players.

It has the potential to be one of....if not, the best season ever! Did I tell you guys how excited I am about Fighter Pilot Terry being back??

Finally caught up with Survivor, I loved it! I loved that Mike won, I loved it each time he won the immunity necklace. I was so glad Wil came nowhere, Rodney and MamaC did not deserve the win, making fire pretty much proved that....glad she bet Rodney though.

The challenges toward the end were fantastic, I expected Mike to injure himself on the slides, the maze was great, I feel I would have been crap at that one.

Great end, and looking forward to next season, I know only half the players, great way to end one season is introduce the new cast for the next one.

Next Wednesday (9/23), Survivor is BACK! Amazing Race premieres that Friday (9/25).

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1230 on:** September 14, 2015, 09:49:37 AM »

Can't wait! It's a good mix of players returning, not just the obvious favourites and hellraisers.

And I might even watch The Amazing Race this season!

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1231 on:** September 14, 2015, 09:51:29 AM »

We've been following along with Big Brother and it's been kinda meh. Love the show, but they've got to do something to really seriously shake it up.

gmillerdrake · « **Reply #1232 on:** September 14, 2015, 11:07:15 AM »

Fighter Pilot Terry!!!!

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1233 on:** September 23, 2015, 06:36:23 PM »

WOOHOO! Just started watching. This is gonna be awesome!

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1234 on:** September 23, 2015, 07:56:53 PM »

Dammit. Not pleased with how that turned out.

For returning players that was a retarded first vote. Immediately weaken your team physically and at the same time keep a lady on it who you know is going to cause crap the entire time? Just dumb....utterly dumb. It sucks to because I like a lot of those 'old school' guys like Woo and Terry but they are F'd it seems because the young punks are running things for the moment.....thanks to the 'old school' baby who "can't keep up" with things....and you see from the previews he immediately has regrets about keeping that psycho bit%h.

anyway....I thought the immunity idol location and clue was pretty cool and a nice switch up. And the immediate tribal was a tad unexpected but neat.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1236 on:** September 23, 2015, 08:38:47 PM »

The quick-grab of the idol (now awesomely hidden AT the challenge) was excellent. Abi Maria is a gigantic pain in the ass. So irritated she's still there. And the immediate TC was a shocker.

gmillerdrake · « **Reply #1237 on:** September 23, 2015, 08:42:51 PM »

I'm surprised that Kelly was used to try and fetch the key. That's a lot of upper arm strength and it's not a secret that guys are physically stronger than girls.....I'd have had Spencer or Woo or even Terry in there from the start. that was a bad call on their part IMO

gmillerdrake · « **Reply #1238 on:** September 23, 2015, 08:45:59 PM »

Mu office pool players this season. $10 buy in per person in the 'main' pool (payout is $100/$50/$50) I have Kieth and Ciera. $10 for (2) people in The 'B' pool (Payout is $50/$25/$25) I have Monica and Spencer.

I have no hopes for Monica, Ciera has the chance to make it to the merge......Keith or Spencer 'could' win it I think if things fall in to line for them. There's just so many good players it's a crap shoot I think.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1239 on:** September 23, 2015, 10:00:37 PM »

Anyone notice Stephen referring to himself as a fish back out of water? Clever.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1240 on:** September 23, 2015, 11:18:38 PM »

I'm surprised Vytas went before Abi (and disappointed because she's clearly still the same bitch she was last time). I wonder if the tribal councils will all be directly after challenges, or if this was just a one off to shake it up? Not sure how I'd feel about that.

It's an interesting twist with the immunity idol too. Assuming that's the standard this season, I hope the idol gets played enough that people catch on to how it works, and teams get paranoid during challenges watching each other.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #1241 on:** September 26, 2015, 05:37:02 AM »

Finally watched the first episode last night.

Starting off with a bang! I like a lot of players on both teams, so I anticipate a fun season!

I liked how the immunity idol was hidden during the challenge. I was starting to wonder if she was going to have the balls to go and get it or not.

The vote did NOT go the way I wanted. Not sure why they voted off Vytas. They will regret not getting rid of Abi when they had the chance.

gmillerdrake · « **Reply #1242 on:** September 26, 2015, 07:51:01 AM »

I hope they continue the immunity idol theme.....changing it up a bit. That is a neat twist.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1243 on:** September 26, 2015, 10:14:54 AM »

Agreed, hiding it AT the challenge is a great twist.

gmillerdrake · « **Reply #1244 on:** September 30, 2015, 09:09:17 PM »

At first I was concerned for Terry that he decided to go out and talk to Abi....but alas....he put himself and that alliance in a good spot. bummed for that tribe to have lost again but it appears it doesn't matter as they are going to three tribes next week. I'm curious as to what that random buff grab will produce in terms of tribes. I hope they are 'even' in nature and there is no real 'power house'.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1245 on:** September 30, 2015, 10:27:29 PM »

Have they ever switched to more tribes before? I'd expect them to start with 3 and merge to 2 as they've done before; seems odd to do it at this point. The shuffles often turn out lop-sided, so we'll see how that goes.

I'm glad Shirin went instead of Spencer. I like Spencer.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #1246 on:** October 01, 2015, 06:46:19 AM »

I'm sad that Abi is still there. What a psycho bitch.

Although I am certainly aware of the strategic value of keeping a psycho bitch on the team.

It just sucks for the viewer, because she is awful.

Sucks for Shirin.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1247 on:** October 01, 2015, 07:13:44 AM »

Abi is the human shield you carry along with you to deflect everything you can until she's outlived her usefulness. Very irritating for the viewer.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1248 on:** October 02, 2015, 11:31:46 AM »

Wow. Two interesting things left out of this week's episode of Survivor that were pretty interesting to find out after the fact:

https://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/2015/10/survivor-cambodia-editing-deleted-these-two-things/

Apparently everyone wanted to vote out Spencer, Shirin tried to protect him by telling the others that Varner was screwing everyone over and tried to get him out, they ratted her out, and Varner took her out instead. Not exactly the story we saw, but the link explains it all in more detail.

Now the best part? Between finding that she was voted out and having her torch snuffed, another thing we didn't see. This:

Quote

“I said, ‘Terry has the idol, by the way, guys.’ And then everyone starts freaking out, I keep walking up to Jeff. And then Varner’s like, ‘What do you mean? Tell us how do you know!’ And so I start making up stories: I’m like, I saw him digging and burying it, that’s how I caught him. And then I thought Probst, at this point, was going to yell at me. Because as you probably know, he gets pretty strict. I turn around and look at Probst; he this big grin on his face, and he’s like, ‘Anything else?’ … I was doing it to open a door for Kelley and Spencer to stay in there.”

THAT is awesome!!

THAT is awesome!!

Any other player she did that to I'd agree but what a bitch move to one of the more upright players to ever play the game!! How dare she do that to Fighter Pilot Terry....little 'f'n

She was just ticked at him that he swooped in and swayed Abi...that's all.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #1250 on:** October 03, 2015, 04:06:15 AM »

I don't care about upright. This is Survivor.

I think it's awesome, and I wish they had shown it.

yeah...I should have used green font or something, my comment was more in jest and teasing/kidding intent than anything. Frankly, I'm surprised more people don't do that. If her comment impacted any of the other players attitudes towards Terry I'd imagine it will at least be described by them? But showing it would have been cool!!

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1252 on:** October 07, 2015, 06:15:22 PM »

gmillerdrake · « **Reply #1255 on:** October 07, 2015, 10:26:29 PM »

Man....Teflon Abi! Jeez.....and poor Woo really has no clue as to what's going on. He was like that in his first go around. Strong challenge player but not the most strategic of folk.

That team of Terry, Joe and gang may not lose a challenge.

I can see Spencer working his way into an alliance.

That immunity challenge was brutal. Holy shit.

So at the very least, Abi has redeemed herself for like a second. But she still irritates the feck out of me.
