Same as Pamy. I'm enjoying it as much as ever and perhaps even more because it is fantastic in HD. Sometimes I'll even freeze the frame and admire the cinematography. It's a beautifully produced show.

When I go a little bit past as I forward through commercials, I always back up so I can watch those first moments of scenery - so beautiful!

HD certainly added to the show. I'm still watching for a few reasons, I love me some Probst! I still like to see how people maneuver themselves in the social aspect of the game. I love to snark on the players. I don't have any hopes (nor would I like her to)that this girl Semhar will win the RI contest to continue in the game. She appeared rather weak physically.

I still love the show, still sit with sweaty palms at tribal council, still marvel at the scenery and I don't have HD!

I'm hoping Semhar is gone...her little crying snit at the end did her in for me...LOL! I still love this show, and enjoy it more because of all the stuff we get here on this board...and I am still on the Ozzy train. I love his athleticism and his enthusiasm for the environment. It isn't his fault if his tribe is on the Ozzy love train, that's the situation he was given. I think he is trying hard to build relationships with them (although I would have been wanting to start on the shelter initially too!).

I agree with Pamy about the High Definition adding to the enjoyment of the show. The scenes of the environment and the people in the show are wonderful and so clear. THIS is why I have an HD TV and all the drama just adds to the enjoyment. Great to be able to sit back and watch while the weather turns cool here in Chicago.

Things I think I think: 1. Cochran did an incredibly bold thing. 2. As soon as Ozzy was back and asked for and got the idol back, and gave it to Whitney (why Whitney??? Cochran deserved it for services rendered) the entire tribe started ordering Cochran around again and being abusive, yet expected him to remain faithful. That is what bullys do. 3.It is flawed thinking that using the rocks for a 1 in 7 chance is better than flipping to a tribe that MAY treat you better. A 1 in 3 chance did not work out for Paschal years ago. 4. Keep bullying, Jim. You had better hope to win the idol next week.

I wonder if it will ever come to Coach's tribe giving the idol to Cochran. THAT would surely tell a clear story!

I think Coach's team is just as ready to use Cochran as the other team was! They are a tight group - and he has nothing to recommend himself. Anyone who flips once can flip again. Coach is setting himself to have "clean hands" by having someone else make the F4 or F3 offer. Although I still think he is gorgeous, I lost a bit of respect for Albert in this scenario -

Coaches team is ready to use Cochran. He is on the bottom of their totem pole at the moment. Although that could change. It often does in this game. The difference is that they will not sit around and discuss how useless he is and how much he deserves to go home right in front of him like he is not even there, the way his old tribe did. It was like they did not even realize the guy had feelings. Like he was not entitled to feelings. No one is saying they had to put him on a pedestal or anything, just treat him with the courtesy you show to anyone. I imagine that if he had been voted out, he would have congratulated them and wished them well. But it was being treated with rudeness and contempt that was hard for him to take. I just have to laugh when people talk about integrity and loyalty in this game. Somewhere during the game, everyone who reaches the final two or three has to lie or betray. It is just part of the game. And everyone in the game has done it this season. Anyone who participates in a blindside has betrayed and lied when they did not vote the way they were expected to. They assure the one being blindsided that they are voting with them, and then don't. Is that not betrayal? The ones who voted out Elyse lied and betrayed Elyse and Ozzy. Really how is that any different than what Cochran did? I don't blame anyone when they do this. I am more offended by the self righteous indignation they show when someone else does it to them. To me that is the height of hypocrisy. Jim especially is a hypocrite because he was the one who instigated the ousting of Elyse because she and Ozzy were becoming a "couple" thereby dangerous. Then he is all indignant toward Cochran. I respect the ones who shrug and say "well played" much more than the whiners.

One thing I'm sure that Cochran knows... is that if he can't win the game, the longer he can stick around increases his Survivor paycheck. So he will have had his Grand Adventure and go home with more money in his wallet than the losers who made his life so difficult. Sure Coach & team are using Cochran, like Allietex says, but they're making his Survivor experience more tolerable & perhaps even pleasant while he feels like part of the 'team'.

I would think he figures the longer he stays (and of course by now, realizing for sure he is featured heavily on the show) he has more chance to be on Survivor again. I wish it really was a once in a lifetime opportunity, but so often it isn't.

Good point Sea! However, if the PTB decide to bring Cochran back, I would definitely prefer to see HIM vs. Russell or Hantz 2.0. Any day of the week!!! ETA: Or see Coach or Ozzie or Rob again either. Haven't those guys 'outlived' their shelf-life by now?

If we are going to have ex survivors, I would like to see a season made up of only winners, 2nd place, and 3rd place players. Lets see if the best players can do it again. The producers like to throw us the "popular" players. What they really mean are the ones who caused a stir in some way. Some of those are enjoyable to see again, some are not. Or have a season with only the worst players(1st, 2nd, & 3rd place players out in their seasons) and see if they could get it right this time against players who were as bad as they were. There are several possibilities without having the same old retreads. I realize that some of the past contestants have no desire to appear on the show again, bit using my criteria, they should be able to find enough to make a season. But my favorite seasons have always been two tribes of brand new contestants. Just plain old people, no more models, wantabe actors. I don't even mind celebrities as long as they are Survivor enthusiasts, like Jimmy Johnson was. Of course a season of pampered celebrities might be fun, especially if the location was particularly tough.

hard part of bringing back previous players: 1) they have to want to come back 2) they have to have some sort of TVQ (ie. the fans remember them). problem: some of the best TVQ players don't want to play again (e.g. Yul) and some of the players that WANT to come back are not very memorable (i.e. most of the women) - this is straight from Jeff (some interview after the 2nd All-Stars/Fans vs Favorites when people complained about the lack of strong women).

Allitex - if you want to see pampered celebrities in a tough location, check out ABC's "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" and you'll know why this is NOT such great TV. LOL!
