Then this must be the first episode you have ever watched.

Survivor has been my guilty pleasure since the first season. Things went down hill after the All-Star season largely due to weak casts and twists that impacted the integrity of the game.

The first episode of China has given me hope that this may be an entertaining season.

mine too. And yeah I agree with you, the show's not what it used to be, but last season was really great IMO--Dreamz breaking his promise to Yao was one of the most watchable storylines in the noble history of reality TV.

My first impression of the gravedigger--besides wow christ that guy is a f'ing giant--is that he is authentically a soft-spoken dude in the John Coffey meets Mr Jingles tradition. I think he'll be fine, I'll bet he makes it to the jury at least.

Watching the show just for James.

no one on 2+2 knows this guy? when the huge, gigantic, soft spoken black guy said "I bury people" i thought it was hysterical. he reminds me of the black guy from the green mile. people are probably afraid to vote against him because of the race factor.

"Survivor has been my guilty pleasure since the first season."

I haven't watched it since the first season which was a long time ago. They could make this show so much cooler by doing the following: making the challenges more complicated and painful, choosing more physically and mentally capable contestants.

chicken is the type of assshole baby boomer i have to play poker with like every day of my life so i was thrilled to see him go.

calling a con artist railbird who's aspiration in life is to replace sam grizzle when he finally ODs a "professional poker player" is pretty funny. nevertheless i think survivor is right up his alley and he could go far if he picks the right naive people to align himself with and doesnt turn on them too quick.

pretty much everyone seems retarded so im going to pick frosti the parkour dude as the one to win it all with the black guy being the only other option on the guy side. either that or some random weak chick with no personality who just tags along to the end like that danni chick several seasons back. i kinda like it when that happens. i wouldnt mind seeing the mullet chick win, she could definitely go far.

Did Leslie's speech after refusing to participate in the opening ceremonies piss anyone else off? For a Christian talk show host to not understand that worship routes from belief and not ritual had me weeping for her listeners. That said, I give her credit for making the beeline to James.

Oh, and I'm betting James will get knocked out with eight or nine left, just after the merge. He's too big a physical threat to keep around longer and lacks the social skills to convince people otherwise.

how is this show banned over in China? it seems like they were trampling all over Chinese culture. next episode is probably going to be a dim sum eating contest.

Nope, I have seen every single episode after Season II. This one was boring and uneventful. My wife and I watched Kitchen Nightmares right after this and it was 100% better.

Regardless, I will watch the entire season.
