I'm surprised to find myself liking Jimmy J. so much. I'm a 49ers fan so we naturally by birth despise him lol but he is very likable in the show and I don't see much from the others yet besides Holly and Jane. Glad to read that Kelly is an athlete, I'd love to see her do well so the others will stop wanting her out due to the sympathy vote but begin to see her as another in the crowd.

Lajonesin, are you bothered by accents at all? Just wondering if hers might be what's off-putting. If not, I'm sure she'll stick whatever it is out there for you soon enough. Hello lurkers!

Not at all Friend. You should hear my accent....I sound just like Kathy. Yeah, I'm sure whatever it is will rear its ugly head soon enough. Maybe she will prove me wrong. Hopefully so.

I've got an accent myself, Lajonesin. Yeehaw! Did Alina or Benry get any airtime? I don't remember anything about them.

I don't know why but it bothered me that they called Jud "Fabio" like they didn't even bother to learn his name...even if he is kind of goofy.

That bothered me too Panda because he's such a nice kid. It was a bad way to start out for Jud. Hopefully he'll prove himself more than a hair flipper lol.

This could be a fun season. I haven't read the whole thread so not sure if this has come up but WHY are these people all in their underwear?

I'm sure Fabio doesn't mind the nickname. I don't like the guy (Marty?) who was talking about not trusting Jimmy. Pamy, you crack me up about the blur! I noticed it, too.

chippy I noticed that too. I remember someone telling me once that survivor decides what you can take and how much. Now as to why they were in their underwear, well, your guess is as good as mine.

I think they wear underwear because it's HOT weather. The women's underwear (especially the bras) seem less revealing than in the past. Thank you CBS!

If I was going on this show I would wear a 1 piece swimsuit as my bra and panties

Yep pamy, either that or I would just opt to be hot. Not much of a stretch here as since where I live it has been in the 90's since June. I wonder if these folks just aren't used to being outside.

I thought they were calling Jud "Fabio" as a put down but then he handled it with such grace that I'm totally on his side now. I, too, wondered why only underwear. It seems like it would be more of a hassle for CBS to blur the tv footage then it would be to let them have their bathing suits. Hi Reenie!

lol... I'm thinking the blur-out-the-little-bits guy is going to be getting some overtime. It's always hot but I don't recall this much undies in any other season. Not sure I'm on board with old vs less old. It feels like it'll become impossible for the older group to compete although the first challenge was fair enough. The power thingy will go to the youngers as soon as the other teams uses it so, uh, I don't get it.

I like the younger/older idea. Jeff has said that the challenges are less physical this time. The older team lost on the puzzle - not on the gutter part - of the first challenge. The strategy of WHEN to use the medallion of power is going to be interesting - }

I totally don't understand the men in undies either. I know one of the guys had jeans on at the beginning but he could have cut them off. LOL

I think it's because they dip into the ocean to cool off and clean off. Jeans never dry. I'd rather they have their swim suits. Seeing Jimmy J in his boxers was really something I didn't need to see. LOL.

Note to future applicants ~ Purchase nice bras in pretty colors like yellow and with matching boxers rather then wearing thongs. Like Pamy, I would enter the first day wearing at least one layer of underwear under a one piece swimsuit covered up with wicking pants and t-shirt followed by a hooded windbreaker tied around my waist. I don't care if they told us we were meeting for a five course meal at a four-star restaurant ~ that's how I'd dress if we were meeting for the first time knowing they'd probably take you right from there to the boats. I just would swear I'd been born a tom-boy.

Hi all! Switching over from BB to Survivor and looking forward to all of the discussions here. About the silly underwear...especially the things that look like tighty-whities, except they are red....they don't look like quick dry fabric and in this kind of a situation are highly impractical. There are so many great fabrics out there that suit this kind of climate and will keep people both warm or cool on land or on water, will dry very quickly, are light weight. Layers would be the answer. Kappy has the right idea! They aren't teaching people much about surviving when they go out into the wilderness with just their underwear. I'm not keen about the Young versus Old theme but I'm sure it will be interesting.

Layers of clothes would be great, especially if they had several of the moisture-wicking garments. Think how they will shiver in their skivvies when it rains. Oooh, makes me want to crawl into my warm bed. I won't feel guilty at all.
