But the Surviving Survivor Show was probably filmed recently, after the finale of Season 19, so everyone would have known that Russell didn't win at that point.

The bit with Hatch was probably filmed after both Russell's season AND the Heroes/Villain season. The only thing done "live" is the finale, so the entire Heroes season is "in the bag" already. I remember reading that the Tsunami in Samoa was about 2 weeks after Survivor had wrapped up.

Okay, who can help me with this? Tyson reminds me of an actor - I don't remember his name - he played in a movie, that I don't remember the name (sorry), I think he played a grocery clerk who goes crazy and kills everybody (maybe in combat clothes). Does anyone know what I am talking about? It is driving me absolutely insane

He reminds me a lot of Jake Busey, son of Gary Busey. I don't recognise the movie you mention but maybe it's on his imdb list: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000998/

My thoughts about the players so far; hope no one minds me taking up a bit of cyberspace. Actually, quite a bit of cyberspace; sorry. I'm really impressed by Boston Rob this season, so far anyway, hopefully that won't change any time soon. Being with Amber and being a dad seems to agree with him; you go, Amber! I guess I'm in the minority as far as Parvati; I like her. Liked her the last time too, had no problem with her winning, just felt bad for James. Ahh, James. So sweet, so hot. Probably not going to win again, but I surely do hope he sticks around for a loooonnnng time. The little thing with James and Amanda about her answering the tribal questions right was really cute. I like Amanda, but she seems to be a bit flighty; too much of a follower. If she was on the Villains team, she'd be total target for Russell. Didn't care for him last season, still don't like Russell, and I still think he only has part of the puzzle as far as winning the game. I don't see him winning - again - even if he does get far, because while he really does have some good game, he doesn't have the social end nailed down. I'm sure he's going to do the same thing here, because he truly believes he is "The Ultimate Survivor" . Playing like Svengali doesn't mean you're being social, it means you're being controlling. I think he was overrated, and if they don't show all the players a little more equally this season I'll probably wind up throwing my TV out a window! Don't like Sandra; didn't like her in her season, don't like her now. I was prepared to give all of the ones I didn't like the first (or second!) time a chance, but her tossing Sugar's bra to the side instead of showing a little class and handing it to Sugar, has me feeling they really put her on the right side. Undoing the top was a little rude and made sense (and it was a lot less violent!), but throwing it away was downright spiteful. Sugar wasn't much better, flipping them off, but at least I could understand it! It did take a lot of chutzpah to grab the bag and keep going, topless. Don't think she was necessarily the best choice to vote off, as irritating as she may have been - I'm with Tom on this one - they need to get Cirie out. Sugar would've been an easy 'throwaway' vote later on in the season. Cirie is a much more dangerous player than Sugar, socially and mentally, but weaker physically than most, so they wouldn't have been losing a lot in that way. Cirie has never been a particular favorite of mine, and I'll have no problem seeing her go. Stephenie, on the other hand, has been a favorite every season she's been on, and her sheer determination and grit is amazing. While I'd love to see her go far, I'm sure she'll be out early, since she is a threat to all of them on several levels. I didn't care for Superman, aka Tom, in his season, but he certainly makes a lot of sense, at least during the boot talks. I did not like the way Russell was actually hurting Tom rather than just containing him, in the first challenge; that was totally unnecessary, and just goes to show what a charming individual Russell really is. Being one of the older players, who seem to be targeted quicker simply due to their age, as well as someone who usually comes up on "most-liked" lists, I don't know that he's going to last long; I'm ambivalent about whether I'd like to see him win. I went back and forth about JT in his season - I liked him most of the time, but then he teamed up with Coach and my respect for him plummeted. I'll have to see what he's up to this season before I really decide whether I'm going to cheering or booing for him. I didn't see Colby and Jerri's season, just heard about it. Don't know enough about either of them for me to be rooting for them to stay or go, but thought the interactions with the opposite sex were amusing, Colby with Sugar and Jerri with Coach. I think Colby needs to get over himself a bit - it would have made a lot more sense to just quietly tell Sugar to knock it off than run around, then gripe about not getting any sleep. And Jerri and Coach were almost (dare I say it...?) cute. I couldn't stand Coach, literally stopped watching his season for a couple of eps because of him, but this little showmance could be entertaining. While Tyson can be amusing, he can also be really cruel, and often I can't appreciate that. Same goes for Courtney - I can't believe she actually yelled out to break Stephenie's shoulder. So nasty. Didn't like them in their seasons, and don't like them now. They could both go, and I'd be very happy. Poor Danielle - I really don't remember anything outstanding about her in her season, and she may get the same edit here, just another body. Same for Candace, except I did respect the little I saw of her on Thursday; I didn't like her in her season, so I guess the jury's still out for me for her. Intensely disliked Randy then, seems like that's not going to change now. Rupert was a disappointment last time and he's a disappointment this time; maybe he just got a good edit the first time around. Well, those are my thoughts so far - don't worry, I won't do this every week.

I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this, Solitary. No worries about big posts. Confession here. I kind of enjoy watching Parvati too (though I didn't watch the season that she won so I guess when I see more of her that could change). The thing that I like the most about all of these people is they are big characters and big players and they came to play. Oddly enough, while I like many of the Heroes, I found the "Villains" more entertaining to watch in the first episode.

I remember him....in his actual life, he was a child preacher. He toured the country as a wonder child. Then he grew up and left that church. I guess I need to look him up. that is just off the top of my head.

Thanks for the kind words. I remember that actor, but I never knew about the evangelism stuff. I did look him up after reading this, and it was pretty interesting. According to a couple of sites, they say that he organizes golf events for charities now, many of them celebrity events. That seems to be a worthy place to be in life, I think.

Solitary, one of the best parts of reality tv is talking about it. Giving points of view and then maybe seeing something new because of what another has commented on. Most of us come here for that very reason. I like long posts. I do not like Russel. His strategy is little boy. I want everyone to be my best friend, but only because I want to play with their toys. Ick.

And it was actually in the movie Earthquake that I saw this Marjoe Gortner's over-the-top work as a repressed grocery clerk who gives in to his military-man fantasies when the earthquake hits Oh I feel so much better now that I found out what I was remembering

Yes, you're right, they do look a lot alike. Jimmer, they were more entertaining, definitely; it's like any TV show, the bad guys are always more fun, because they do things we wouldn't normally. IMHO, of course. ;)

I enjoyed this 1st ep prob. more than any other season's 1st ep - the 2 hr show was a great idea. I did recognize all of the players - some more than others. Please let these folks stay because they make good TV: Rob - he's just grown on me over his reality exposure and Amber has been good for him. Coach - I hated him on his 1st season but the Jerri/Coach attraction thing and the way Rob got him to shimmy up that tree was priceless! Russell - still that same ego, but man that guy stoll the show last season so I'm anxious to see what else he has. Jerri - I was one that never had the hate for her so even though she was never a fav. - go girl - anyone that can get to that arrogant "Coach" has me as a fan. Sandra - She is a "mean girl" and fun to watch. The way she tells it like it is and gets away with it is awsome! Tyson - he is just entertaining to watch & I don't know why. Courtney - dynamite comes in small pkgs - boy, this girl is something else. I can see her being a big trouble maker and that makes it fun for us watchers. Parv. - she is fun to watch because I don't like her and she has a way of getting others to do her dirty work that just floors me. J.T. - I still Love the good ole boy, hard working approach. I hope he gets some head game so he can last. Colby - almost similar to J.T. - he's older & I hope wiser & doesn't "give" away another win. I would LOVE him & J.T. at the end though. Rupert - still have the Rupert love but he is going to have to do some major stepping up to not be outed by his own team as a weak leak(broke toe and all). James - "Best eye candy on TV"! He won't be a target of his team because of his physical ability but, once it's individual - he will be a huge target. He needs to get a "head" game going on or he has no chance. Ciere(sp?) - She's one to watch. This girl is easy to like and she has game. She also picks the game apart in her head better than most. I want her around for along time. Steph - She's such a tough, athletic young woman. Too bad about the early injury - her team may view her as an easy target because of this - I hope not. finding anyone not listed as either boring or not giving me much anticipation to see what they will do or say next. They can go IMO

I think it will be really funny if they don't have any hidden immunity idols for Russell this season. He can't possibly show his greatness without HII's to help him out, lol.

I was not a fan of Rob on his original season, but during All Stars and on TAR, I really warmed up to him. He was charming on the first episode, and I'm definitely cheering for him. We did a "blind draw" Survivor contest at work, so I'm also pulling for Cirie. I enjoyed her thoroughly, so it's not a tough thing to do, but I have a feeling she won't be long for the game because everyone knows how big of threat she is! Tyson and Randy could leave before the next episode and I wouldn't complain at all!

Ok - why these folks can go: Tom - won his 1st season. Doesn't cause much interest for me as far as game playing. Don't want Ciere(sp?) to go out soon and would rather loose him. Amanda - You're too nice for this game! You don't stir the pot and give me anything to look forward to. Candace - they all know you did the "traitor" thing and you also give me nothing to watch. Danielle - I only remember her as the "buck toothed girl" and don't even remember what season she was on. I don't see her as giving me much watching fun. Randy - he has a chip on his shoulder that makes him so unlikable. I don't even see him as potential good "bad" tv moments at this point.

Yep, in the most recently posted pic, there is definitely a strong Tyson-Marjoe resemblance.
