Hey! It's time for my favorite reality show, Survivor. What did you all think?

firstly, I was sad to be watching it without Jay
:(. He loved the first one.

Even though it was a solitary viewing, it was great fun to watch.

Immediatly I noticed these simlarities:
Marilyn--Rudy
Elisabeth--can you say Colleen?
Mitchell--Dirk
Jeff--Rich
Colby--Sean
Jerri--Stacey
Kimmi--Jenna mixed with Kelly

I can tell they cast this show with the same types.

Jeff is obviously trying to be Rich, but where Rich's strategy was fresh and devious and he was a likable villian, Jeff is kind of whiny and meaner than Rich.

Watching them get fire makes me think--why the heck didn't they practice at home? If I found out I was gonna be on Survivor, I would have immediatly started making fired and getting really good at it.

I really like Rodger, the older guy from Kentucky.

I'm with you on the fire making thing! Didn't any of them watch the first Survivor?!
I noticed another similarity that may have a huge effect on the players, as it did in the first show..
The shelters they chose to create and where they were set up.
I'll bet that the team (with Rodger) that made the sturdy shelter under the tree canopy will do a lot better at everything than the team that hung a flag over the sand as their shelter!

I read somewhere (perhaps People) that the flag proves to be totally inadequate; no surprise there.

I guess if Kimmi had been devoured by a gator, that would have been on the news, so I guess we must just wait and see if she shapes up or ships out soon!

My first impressions were that Deb would be the first to go since she was so bossy and everyone seemed to be talking about her. I think Jeff (the sick guy) is gay. I also think Kimmi is all talk. I'm keeping my eye on Jerri since she's the one I chose for the win, and the others I didn't really pay much attention to. I was very happy when Deb got the boot and I too also wondered why they didn't practice at home with the fire thing!!! Silly I'd say. I really like Jeff Probst as host, and the surroundings seem very nice... I liked the Ogakor Tribe better than the Kucha Tribe. Can't wait to see how this unfolds. :)

Kimmi? - all talk?? Isn't that a little harsh?

Me thinks Kimmi ate the 'gator!! and then told the Kucha tribe members everything they ever wanted to know about eating a 'gator!! And oh yeah, she even talked about how a 'gator masturbates!!

Eh.., oh, Leap, I'm not the person you're thinking of but on the outside chance you had this question ...
female.
Debb was on Letterman and said the reason (she thought) she was ousted was that she did'nt fit in with
"the MTV mentality"?
Also said she was paid to vacation till the game was over.. not a bad gig, eh?!
