the first show did not disappoint!!! I loved how it started raining during TC. I even found myself rooting for the villians in the challenge - it is fun to watch all these players. We can get right into the game w/o having to get to know people and remembering names, which always takes me 2-3 shows..lol

I think Russell made a great point about the Heroes now having to be "villians" before their TC - I was thinking the same thing. I think everyone expects the villians to plot big time but it's really the heroes you have to watch out for!

I know some people love him, but I can't take a whole season of Russell's constant "I am the king, I am the best player ever."

I'm not that sorry to see Sugar go. The only reason I liked her was because I hated Randy in the season they were on, and she helped blindside him. Otherwise, I saw no reason at all for her to be on the show.

I still think they should have 3 tribes: Heroes, Villains, and Buffoons. Coach would be the sole member of the "Buffoon" tribe, but he could take Tyson with him to be his "Assistant Buffoon" if he wanted.

Great start to the 20th season.

Stephenie showed her toughness. I've had a dislocated shoulder, and it's very painful. Popping it back in feels so good, it's not even explainable. But soreness and weakness lingers for a little while.

Rupert showed some toughness, too, with his broken toe. I've also had broken toes a few times. I've never had to do anything on them like Rupert is having to do, though. They were an annoyance for me, but they could end up being a big problem for Rupert in the game.

Rob has always been impressive in the game. He just continues being so in this version. Of all the villains, I hope he does the best.

Jerri and Coach were made for each other. More power to them.

I forgot how much I liked James.

Tom is right, they need to oust Cirie sooner rather than later or she's gonna dominate that tribe. She's just so strategically smart.

Russell can't possibly fool Danielle and Parvati, can he? He's gotta be the first to go on that tribe, right?

Courtney seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself, much more than the first time she played.

I agree with previous posters...JT and James are a formidable pair. And likable.

Well, I have not missed a ballet class with a broken toe - taped to the adjacent toe - but I also was standing on a nice cushy bathmat at the time! Go, Rupert!

What a fun, fun show. I agree with the poster earlier who said it's such a relief to know all the contestants. This is gonna' be a fantastic season(as long as Tyson leaves sooner rather than later - he's the only one who sets my teeth on edge. Coach and Jerri = HILARIOUS! James. Rob and Colby = HOT, HOT, HOT!

Juju ~ Sorry about that scare. I'm in Nor Cal and our local ABC affiliate shows everything one hour earlier then normal.

Great first show. Not sad to see Sugar go. I totally understood how Colby felt after being kept awake for half the night. Still loving James and JT. Cirie is wearing on me with always trying to get rid of the strong early. Steph rocks! Coach still seems like a weakling to me. And oh what sweet karma if he and Jerry got together!

Was impressed with Rob.

Am I the only one who was actually enjoying coach for the first time! I laughed out loud at his flirting with Jeri and then again at his flirting with Rob! Never liked him as the dragon slayer, but as the star-struck boy, he's kind of funny.

Loved seeing Boston Rob. Thrilled that he made fire and then impressed that he didn't brag about it to the Heroes tribe, just left them thinking the Villains were miserable.

Found myself rooting for the Villians during each challenge.

I'm really enjoying this season so far -- it's always fun to see familiar faces, although there are so many that I like that it feels like we don't get enough time with them.

Am heart sick to see the previews. If Boston Rob goes out on medical, I will cry a river.

I was wondering who took away the old Coach and replaced him with this kind of silly, sort of amusing man in dragon tattoos?

I know it's been said before, but James is one fine figure of a man.

But apart from that, great show but pleeeeeeease enough of Russell! If they've edited this season like last I'm not sure how long I'll be able to bear it.

I had lots of things to say but seeing the previews for next week all I can think now is what happened to Rob :-(.

Oh, and they all talked about having to get out the competition first... and then voted for Sugar! I think it was a wise move, but amusing nonetheless.

Was fun seeing everyone and excited to see they all came out ready to play hard.

Thoughts and comments about episode 1 --

1) In the "what were they thinking" category...
> What was Danielle thinking wearing that ruffled, polka-dotted bikini?
> What was Tyson thinking when he decided to wear those clingy little boxers?
> What was Sugar thinking when she decided to get a bowl cut?

2) Stephanie... even tougher than I realized. The way she bounced back from a dislocated shoulder was amazing.

3) I love James!!!

4) Tribal council is awesome! The design crew outdid themselves this season!!

5) Colby not being familiar with the other players and who they might be aligned with was disappointing. If he came back for retribution, he might have started by catching up on some of the more recent seasons and who the players are and their strategies. Amazing he had to look to Candice for info.

6) Colby rejecting Sugar... LOL! Poor Colby ((-:

7) Rupert... just as much a misfit as the last time we saw him. Wasting the flint stubbornly trying to start fire was right up there with building shelter in a sand pit during All-Stars.

8) Rob's firemaking technique was amazing! Go Rob!!

9) And on a related note... distressed to see Rob passed out next episode. I'm guessing dehydration -- perhaps Russell sabotaging the tribe's water supply again?

10) Coach and Jerri -- agree with everyone who said "ewwww!", and yet, I can actually see them being a good match. They both have that new age spiritual mindset and are in a similar age bracket. Will be interesting to see how things develop with them.

11) Not sorry to see Sugar go. Could not take another season of her crying and mugging for the camera.

12) I love James!!!!

13) Excited that they gave us 2 hours tonight. They should do that every season. Very happy they gave us a substantial first episode.

14) The immunity idol is very cool. Again, kudos to the art department.

Looks like S20 is off to a great start!!!

Loving the show, but I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't remember Candace at all...

JT is my choice to win, and I think he ought to ally with Rupert, because Rupert is incapable of serious guile/lying/treachery.

with the chickens, by the way? There CAN'T be wild chickens on that island -- is there even such a thing as a wild chicken?

colby is not gay, he was in a relationship with Jane Clayson (who was on The Early Show) after his season of Survivor. i think for one thing is that he hates pushy women, which both jerri and sugar are.

There are/were wild chickens in Asia, but I don't think those are truly wild, more like domesticated chickens that have escaped and bred in the wild.

Danielle is the one I still don't remember.

That would be Boston Rob, who mused whimsically about the dragon guy, and who the dragon guy now idolizes. Thank you, Boston Rob, for being the more mythic player than Coach, who is basically a dweeb who should rightfully be admiring Rob and pissing off Russell.

I LOVED the edit of Boston Rob as senior mensch in this episode. And he made fire!!! He freaking made fire! They very rarely make fire without flint.

I was yelling about putting Courtney in a challenge where she was rowing a boat while Rob was onshore, until I realized he is almost the entire brains of that tribe, and they saved him to solve the puzzle. And rightly so. And he won the challenge for them.

Have I mentioned I am LOVING Boston Rob in this season??? Amber, thanks for making him go be in the show.

Jeff's EW blog:

http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/02/12/jeff-probst-blogs-the-survivor-heroes-vs-villains-premiere/

I noticed Randy was puffy around the eyes during the IC and Jeff confirms it in a video clip on that page; he says it might have been something in the water.

I don't EVER remember being so jazzed about a premiere of a show, or of a survivor ep. I was screaming and clapping and yelling at the tv - that first challenge was so darned EXCITING! I told DH it was MY Superbowl. LOL


I got a kick out of the fact that Rob seems to be the most heroic on his Villains team, and T.J. is determined to be the most villainous on his Heroes team. LOL

Randy has always given me a major case of the creeps. He's completely charmless and looks devoid of emotion, cold-blooded.

Russell is just as annoying as before. I don't get why most folks are buying his brand of BS AGAIN. sigh.

Sugar was sooooooooo annoying and useless she really was the right one to be turfed first.

Was the blond gal who said she was a MEDICAL student the same <77> who screamed out, 'break her shoulder'!!!? That really turned my stomach. It was bad enough for someone to think it, and say it, but to be someone studying to be a doctor? I found that waaaay beyond offensive. SMH!!!! I'm hoping someone will tell me I'm mistaken, and those were two different blonds.

So upset about poor Rupert, but proud of him to forge ahead, downplaying his pain over his broken toe. I've had a tiny hairline fracture on my foot below where his break is and it was painful. So this MUST be a heck of a lot worse! I hope he redeems himself in the next ep. I hope they are giving him pain meds.He really sucked at the puzzle and trying to make fire. He really needs to work his magic as a fisherman again.

I really enjoyed the show. I think because in general I don't like cocky people I'd forgotten what a brilliant mind Rob has. IMO he makes Russell look like an overconfident 5 year old.
I now have my favorite. It's Rob.

I've always loved Boston Rob. I hope he goes far.

Jerri and Coach had me in stitches. She was giggling like a 16-year-old girl having her first crush.

But the moment that had me rolling was at the beginning of the show when Jeff said there had been winners that the viewers didn't like and the camera panned to Parvati!!!

Yeah Southern, I wasn't much of a Rob fan the first time round. I'm finding him way more likable this time. Totally impressed with him this time!

Loved the music. It felt like movie-theme music. Wonderful stuff!

And big oops, it's J.T. not T.J. I got it wrong in my first post.

Love Cirie's 100 kw smile. Her upbeat personality and smarts are a lethal combo. She's my fave female player.

James... that body... holy canoli!

Coach reminds me of that male model with the accent and long flowing hair ... Fabio. Similar looks and just as vapid.

I luv showmances, and I'm hoping that it will soften those 2 villains... make them weaker. But it could go the other way and they could be a formidable team.

FYI - Mods... Clicking on the CA button below shows the Cast from Survivor SAMOA, instead of the current Heroes/Villains cast.

Re the preview - I thought I heard sort of a crashing sound before Stephanie went running to Rob. I wonder if he fell out of a tree?
