Thanks Kar. I just hope it doesn't take away from our "camp time."

I'd be all for increasing the show to 90 minutes, myself. I like the competitions too.

The two shows that need to be 90 minutes are Survivor and The Amazing Race. Meanwhile, on Planet ABC - The Bachelor/Bachelorette shows have been two hours long each and every week for the last couple of years (because according to Chris Harrison - that's what the fans want).

Okay, Lex and Kar, I'll settle for 90 minutes if you can talk the PTB into it!

I would be all for 90 minute shows. I can't even imagine my level of obsession if the Survivors were miked like the people on Big Brother. I would just sit in my pajamas all day, watching and posting. I'd never come to work, DH would have to run this place by himself. I would have to get a water proof laptop installed so I could shower, I'd spend a fortune on No-Doze and energy drinks so I didn't miss a single second...hmmm, maybe it's better that they only have the show.

Well, The Apprentice is riveting enough that it can be a two hour show year after year. Survivor is at least half as interesting, so 90 minutes sounds about right. \clipart{Juju_rollingeyes}

Friend, your suggestions in your post sound perfectly normal, so what is the problem?

The new TV Guide shares with us the riveting news that Animal Planet will have a new reality show about Mike Tyson racing pigeons, but did not mention the upcoming season of Survivor!

16 of the 18 castaways are now up on the official web site: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor/cast/ According to: http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b219630_survivor_redemption_island_cast.html
quote:The reality show's 22nd season newcomers are joined by two former Castaways, to be named later this week, also competing for the million-dollar prize and "one last shot at redemption." The delayed announcement is sure to fuel the campfire rumors that this season—the second in a row to be filmed in Nicaragua—would feature a showdown between all-timers Boston Rob Mariano and Russell Hantz.

Okay gang! Unless he is an absolute , I expect lots of you all to join me in supporting the local boy, Matt Elrod. (I will probably be the first to bail - you know how fickle I can be!)

Were the producers afraid to leave the state of California for their contestants? Seriously...10 from Southern CA?

more like that they actually have Jobs, PERIOD! we have one of the largest unemployment rates in the nation. I have not worked since August 2008. would love a job, problem is, can't get anyone to get past the resume and call. i can't even get taco bell to hire me. maybe i should apply for a reality show instead.

I'm hoping Steve Wright will have viewing parties.. I am just a few blocks from the border of Huntington Beach.. So, TNT.. I have my own local boy to support. But if yours is a sweetie, I'm there. Whoah.. TEN are from California?? Hey Wargod has an almost local with Acton.. I've been to every one of the California hometowns, I was born in Washington, DC, visited (with our best tourguide, TNT and other TVCHers), in Nashville, lived in VA, have a cousin and visited in Maine and we drove through SC.. haven't been beyond Madison in Wisc.. though we drove there from Chicago. So I feel connected.. Long Beach is my next closest one after Huntington Beach. I drove two patients to Long Beach just yesterday and tomorrow I go back there for my quarterly check with the oncologist. Practically my second home lately. I sure hope I LIKE some of these people! Hmm well the two in the rumors... Off to the spoiler thread for enlightenment.

It's official. Boston Rob and Russell Hantz are in this season. I don't know what to think. I will watch because of Rob, but without him I might have finally given this show a miss. Have to hope Russell has learnt some humility or it will be painful.

Russel is a great villian. It will be an interesting character study to see if he is exactly the same. And Rob ROCKS! He's a great hero/villian/character/narrator, etc. I have to wonder how they will ensure that these two aren't immediately voted out. It should be an interesting season!

Although I've never liked Rob, I do find him interesting to watch and unlike many, I love his accent. Russell on the other hand, I dislike and do not enjoy watching. There is nothing endearing about him, nothing interesting after his first five minutes of bragging about nothing and he is just mean to the core.

Apparently there's no free pass. They'd be foolish to get rid of Rob with all his know how, but it would make my day if Russell was first out. But they're sure to have watched the show on tv by now though, and know Russell will never win, so maybe that's cause to keep him. Here's a link with more detail. I have to remember to avoid Jeff's blogs when Russell's on too, as he salivates over him so much. (Yes, I'm going to be sulking all season until Russell is out, sorry.) http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/01/13/survivor-boston-rob-russell-redemption-island/

I just wonder how Russell will manage when he actually has to work WITH a team instead of sabotaging it. If indeed Rob and Russell get immunity until the merge he will have to be nice to people...something he's never been successful at. Hopefully enough people have seen how abominable his behavior can be and how little he can be trusted that they will boot him after the merge. He isn't really very likeable and everybody who is playing surely has seen that by now (unless of course they were all recruited in a bar and have never seen Survivor...which we all know is quite likely!).

The article above states quite clearly that R&R don't have any kind of special immunity!

I counted - I think - FOUR former football players! Hope they steer away from the really physical challenges this season!
