La, I called my mother tonight to see if she what she thought of the TC and she made the comment about his underwear, too. She said something about them being purple or such and he was walking around like he was in a pair of shorts but they were cotton and tight. I am SO glad his constant down talking kept me from taking a closer look at the TV because I might have frozen in fear seeing the "52 YO grown man" -- who happens to be a "former federal agent" (bet you didn't know that did you????) -- in his underwear telling the ladies to pipe it down!!! Ugh...

I like Russell, but he did seem a little creepy with Stephanie .....we'll see.

I liked Rob's comment that they didn't know how to keep their mouths shut.

For a first of the season show, I thought it was entertaining.

I don't believe Rob thought for a minute that Kristina would give him the idol, I think he was just showing her up as the liar she was being. I thoroughly enjoyed Rob at TC, I think he and Jeff were both in hog heaven with the craziness that was going on.

So many new and interesting new players and instead what do we get? "What If" moments. What a waste!

Instead of new players hungry to win, we get a tribe of dimwits who only wish to have Rob win.

Rob demands that another player give him the immunity idol to prove something to him and no one has a problem with it? His sense of entitlement amazes me. What a waste

That was the moment I changed the channel. They really have no intention of letting the new players play. What a waste!

I throughly enjoyed the first episode. Philip's difficulty saying Francesca was just about the funniest thing. Poor Phil. Curious about how this new twist and how it works out. Wondering if that will play into who gets voted out and in what sequence. Do you vote a weak person for to go to redemption island so your stronger alliance member that was voted off prior has a better chance at coming back?

LOL I forgot about the Francesca mispronunciation. Poor Francesca. She was getting more and more frustrated as she watched Phillip totally blow up her game all the while getting her name wrong. That whole tribal council was great entertainment. I thought it was an amazing first episode.

I don't think the player on Redemption Island returns right away. Jeff said at some point later in the game.

I have always been kind of a so so person when it comes to Boston Rob. However, I think the editing totally misled us.

At the end of the OMG tribal -- he said. " I am going to do what I said I would do"

My guess is he knew what was up, knew to split the vote between the two girls, and had a plan with everyone else. Why else did the two girls get split votes? and the one he deemed most dangerous go home?

When he said I am going to do what I said I would do, he let everyone know the plan was just the same.....no matter what hell had just broken loose.

This was careful editiing.... and Rob is really good at this game.

Rob was testing Kristina's honesty. It worked. She wasn't truth tellin'.

I think Rob was just messing with her at that point. She was totally on the spot.

If that Phil guy really was a Fed I assume he didn't have a very high security clearance cause he has to be the all time earliest secret blabber ever on Survivor. Somebody needed to give him a cup of shut the hell up to cure his dry mouth. And surely no self respecting government agent would wear what appeared to be peach gotchies.

You know, I get the impression that Rob really could care less if he wins. I mean, he'd be alright with it but he isn't as ego dependent on winning as much as Russell. He's just out of the house having some fun.
I like watching him wheel and deal using nothing but his smile to get his way. He's a pretty man and he uses it. Russell isn't as pretty so he has to use his wits. Unfortunately, he trips over his pride every time, which is why he will never win.

Okay, it was actually a very fun first episode.

Absolutely HATE the "What-If" moments. I am not sure those were advertisements. I took them to be part of the show, and I felt actually cheated out of some of the show. However, if anybody can confirm they are actually advertisements and not part of the show, I am okay with them and won't feel cheated, as I never watch the commercials anyway.

I have TIVO....what are these 'What if' moments everyone is talking about? I zoomed past what looked to be old footage from previous seasons. Did I miss something important? lol

Also missed the "What if" moments... What did we miss?

Oh I so loved tonight's show. I have almost forgotten having to see Russell that Tribal Council was so good! I loved Francesca's "you're a crazy man" or whatever it was! Such a shame she went, I would have loved Kristina to go. We need to keep Phillip around for the jollies.

Julie... Kristina told Rob they weren't going to vote for him, he said to her something like "in that case give me the idol and you won't go home." He made her reveal the idol, so he knew it wasn't just a trick, and as she wouldn't give him the idol he knew he couldn't guarantee being safe so he got valuable information on how she thinks and works and lies. Loved it! And then just to make it clear to everyone he even blatantly told them he wasn't changing his vote and didn't want them too. Made my heart flutter he did ;).

It was a "what if" Redemption Island was around when so and so was voted off. Boring

Doesn't sound like it was anything to do with the current "plot" then...?

Kitt, nope, it was just self-promotion with regards to the "what if" stuff. What if certain bad moves by former players could've been "redeemed" by our new twist this season.

Loved this episode. Phillip should be kept around for comedic value. He's a more agressive "Coach".

Rob is playing his game and if his alliance members stay true, he could outlast Russell this time. Doubt he'll win though.

Kristina and Francesca dug their own graves. Kristina could be a good player, but she made bad early decisions. I actually formed the thought in my head that she could be the female Russell. She seems to really know the game.

Francesca seems like a tough girl, so I think she can last on Redemption Island for a while depending on who she has to compete with.

Russell actually seemed kinda toned down. He and that farmer would make a great showdown, but an even better alliance. But that's not Russell's style as he's gotta be the dominant male. He's not one to share leadership or the spotlight.

That 19 year old dancer looks even younger than she is.

One of the best TC's in the history of Survivor...and in week one. I'll be rewatching it shortly.

I'm loving having Rob and Russel back! Rob asking for the idol was hilarious! Can you just imagine him laughing if she had given it up. He was calling her bluff. Remember, he's a poker player. Awesome tribal council, I just wish she'd left holding her idol and not Franchesca.

The "what if" Sprint moments were stupid and annoying. I hope the powers that be are listening. I don't want to see another one of them. And yes, I considered them Sprint commercial/promotions, not part of the show.

I sat out last season in protest of Russel. Imagine my surprise when I decide to return to Survivor! LOL! TC was probably the best ever. I just wonder how long it actually went on.

Well Kristina was called out, but still has her idol.

If she's smart and can find an actual ally of course it would be best to pass the idol to them if they seemed to be in danger.

I knew it was asking too much to have Kristina leave first.. but I was certainly hoping that would happen.

I'm already REALLY tired with those annoying "what if moments". Guess we know who they hoped would succeed.. but can't re-write history.

And looks like with those moments and flashback clips they are saving production costs.

I LOVED Rob asking for the idol.. he was simply making a point.

The pink panties were.. well they make you look AWAY.. anywhere.

I agree about Phil's panties/briefs. Why in all creation would he bring them to Survivor??

The same think looks good on the women, but bad on him.
