Hi everyone, Great show!! My early favorites are James, Aaron and Eric. I think Eric is adorable. I also thought Leslie was really sweet for giving James advice on how to fit in and get to know the other player.

Anyone have a link to where we vote on the three to get one of them $10,000? James was a powerhouse on that challenge.

LOL, Wahmmy!! And I was thinking the same thing, Piper. Eric is a hottie, but I didn't even notice him until the middle of the show (I had expected to look for him since I'd seen his photo, and hubbahubba). Seriously, though, there are once again way to many IMBD profiles in the cast. Several models, a semi-famous card sharp, a semi-famous female wrestler. I haven't looked through all the profiles, those are just the few I actually clicked into. Rooting for James early on. He really struck my fancy.

GAL said ~ PS Ashley came fully equipped for the show . . . ass-kicking boots, fishnets on her legs and fishhooks in her lip. She even has built-in flotation devices. She's good to go as long as she doesn't throw up anymore.
If I didn't have all these struggles with Files, Detas, it would have been a great night!

I really like James so far too. After being incredibly disappointed with this season's BB cast, I'm hoping to have someone to root for during Survivor. James has that shy sweet hunky persona going for him (at least so far). Shelby - I also enjoyed the scene between James and Leslie.

There is something about a gravediggin man, GAL. Yeah, there are too many wannebes in all these shows, even the Kid Nation, but they are so doggone cute! That chick from New York, what was she thinking? And the wrestler, felled on the first day, who thinks that stuff isn't scripted? And today Ashley, you will puke your guts out even if you are used to big guys passing gas!

So far I really like James. He appears to be a good competitor and a nice guy all at the same time. I'm hoping he'll go far. And I liked Chicken too. Sorry to see him go first because at this point I'm prepared to hate the blond from NY (Courtney?)a lot but maybe I'll change my mind. It's early going.

Messalina, I'm pretty dug in I think. I'll hate Courtney for the season I'm pretty sure.

GAL, you know about Leslie having a Radio talk show, right? Eric said he "concert-tours" in various Colleges. Aaron was in a friend's movie. Amanda is in the Beauty Pageant scene more often than as a Hiker's Guide. Chicken knows that other farmer Survivor, think he was "recommended" to the casting as well. Frostie does stunts for movies, that's how he's a "student of filming". PG was in Madonna's MTV I believe. Other kids wait tables to get through college, PG danced! Shrea was in at least one MTV. The "I like big butt I can not tell a lie" rap that was the favorite song of Emma, daughter of Russ & Rachael...(I don't know the name of the song or Artists, just this reference which will expose how much TV I watch, Neh, I watched it real time, these days my dd is watching repeats of them all the time!) James is so fine, I doubt no one ever tried to get him in anything else... Todd is kinda short, maybe he doesn't have an aspiration in show biz??

GAL you summed up my opinion of Courtney very well. I also don't care for the one who wouldn't take part in the ceremony. I think she's misunderstanding what she's quoting from her beliefs and acted rudely. Add me to the list of those who like James. I hope he does well.

Way too many whiners and wannabe actors/models. So far, James is my favorite.

Looks like James is the favorite. I know I was thinking he sure is sweet!! I loved the way he acknowledged his worry about being a loner and how Leslie reassured him. One question about the monks in the beginning. We got to spend a month in Thailand and in all the temples we visited we never saw a monk touch a woman. We were told they could not. But the monk kept touching Courtney, pushing her hands together and down to pray. They looked just like the Buddhist monks in Thailand.

That was a nun, Suppergranny. I said this else where before. Yes, nuns get totally shaved as well. Notice how all the male s were in one line and the female another? Noticed that even their Chinese "extras"/worshippers/well-wishers/whatever SEG tried to label them, were all segregated by sex. (The ones in black/brown robes whom I heard the Chinese PAs giving instructions in Chinese.

I had picked Chicken as my favorite before the show but he turned out to be a stubborn old guy. So after watching the show? James! Oh yeah!

For anyone interested, I think there will be a SUrvivor game in the Animal Farm area. One of the big tasks is to predict who will be the idjit for the week and over all in the game. Other things to guess as well. Judges provide a verdict each week based on what they saw and thought. Winner gets nothing, but it's usually a lot of laughs.

What is with people whining the first day that they are "not an outdoors kind of girl"? HELLOOOOOO . . . have you never watched before? As for Ms. Christian, I think Jesus himself would have thought that welcoming ceremony was way cool! The blond waitress from New York ~ that whole attitude she has is why NY got such a bad rep in the past. You're a waitress, sweetheart - get over yourself! James? What's not to love? The wrestler? Don't like her at all at all at all! Love the scenery! What a great place to be!

sounds like Courtney is rubbing us all the wrong way i just don't see her lasting I have Leslie in a pool at work. I was dismayed to see her leave the welcome ceremony. such an opportunity she missed (not to mention it was dreadfully rude to the hosts!) do think this will be the best survivor ever. sure is in a beautiful place

quote:As for Ms. Christian, I think Jesus himself would have thought that welcoming ceremony was way cool!
The thing is she could have easily gone through the motions of the ceremony without getting all worked up about it. Yes the bible says all the things she quoted, but it has to be backed up with intent. She could have easily sang a hymn to herself as she was kneeling and singing praises in her mind as she walked through the ceremony. But that is my ever so completely humble opinionated self speaking. And who let Gwen Stefani on the show? so far it seems like it'll be a good show, but ask me again in a couple of weeks.

I could be wrong but I think this is going to be an awesome year. I love it when the challenges are close as this first shows was. I don't like it when one team is so weak and the other team dominates. It is so boring that way. I also liked that Jeff gave them their flint right after the vote off. This way they will be able to get some norishment. I just love, love, love this show.

Oh, btw after this first episode I'm rooting for James. I could and probably will change my mind as the weeks go. He just seems really nice,sweet and shy. I hope he does well. Also, he's not hard to look at. I guess I must of made one too many comments as my DH told me I needed to talk about something else. LOL!!!
