Are they playing old school style, or the newer way they play the game today? However, they do have a lot of players, which hopefully will make the tribe competition a little more interesting. With too few players, it's hard for tribes to turn around a losing streak.

Knowing Jeff, I expect it will be the new style and he'll probably emphasize the difference.

I like Christian, a lot, always have. With his science and Ozzy’s fire making skills, they made fire with glasses. “Science is cool, kids!”
Ozzy seems like he’s playing a lot smarter this time. He’s grown a lot.

Random thoughts…
I get that this is a special season, but 24 people is a lot in the beginning. It’s really hard to keep track of who is on which tribe.
Right now, everyone seems to be saying that they are playing differently.
I don’t really remember some of these players, at all.
It seems like there are 2 people from some seasons, which would provide a huge advantage down the road.

Hahahaha, today was a long day for me, even before I knew it was a THREE HOUR premier of Survivor 50 tonight. I had a morning, afternoon, and evening event with our condo association. BUT, crafty senior citizen that I am, I figured out I could watch east coast link to the END of tonight's premier online when I got home and then switch to pacific time to finish it out, all of which I accomplished. Yay (falls down dead)!
Okay, the glasses making fire thing - I almost wondered if that was a contrived thing. I distinctly remember exactly ONE season when one team successfully made fire that way, and so, in all seasons thereafter, I always watched to see if the non-flint players had glasses, as I did tonight. But the producers never again showed us if that method was used. And then, they miraculously did it again tonight.
I dunno ...
But, of course, I will always watch.

If anyone would bring the best glasses for fire making it would Christian. (who I mostly know from RHAP podcasts).
I would love to know who got Cirie to be the one to.do that task. Almost guaranteed to be better done by someone with a strong throwing arm. I was happy that Cirie stayed and Jenna went home.

uuuggghhh... I could only stay awake through the first TC so I missed the last 45 min. of the show. I can't do a three-hour show. I get too sleepy. I am sorry to see Jenna leave so soon - I was hoping it would be Cirie.

I thought I saw Cirie volunteer. She has never been good at challenges and my thought was why is she doing that. I am glad Ozzy was safe, I always liked him. It is funny I forget many players from one season to another but then when I see them in action I remember them. I never liked Coach and would love to see him gone. Jenna was almost a guaranteed goner. Coming on so strong is a guarantee eviction.

Fun episode.
Cirie was a disaster, why they chose her for a physical task like that is mystifying to me.
I hate that Ozzie is sus at this point... I like him and hope he lasts but he does't seem to understand the social aspects at all. He said he's play differently, and then played too hard to save Cirie? Yet she did get saved.... and I'm not sure why. Not enough was shown why everyone turned on Jenna?

I just met Ozzie last weekend and he is charming and so sweet. I have always loved him. Hope this Coach drama isnt his downfall

I only wanted Cirie to stay because she can help Ozzie! LOL
Pamy, Kyle was on one of the morning shows... he did have to have surgery, but he is doing well!

When Savannah came back from the island, thought it was interesting that they immediately didn’t believe her about not winning some sort of immunity or advantage. Whereas, when Colby came back, they all believed him. Goes to show that Colby brings in some survivor cache and trust. They know nothing about Savannah, other than she won her season, which is probably a big red flag on her.

Pamy, I guess I should say that I don’t remember some of them, even in their Survivor career, which is why I don’t remember what tribe they are on… because I don’t remember them.
Another observation….. Ozzy has aged nicely.

Jenna was just too quick and harsh going after Cirie (at least as shown with their editing). She came a cross as unpleasant to me so I am happy.
Not tired of Cirie.
The blue tribe with Coach is the only intact tribe..
Did feel terrible for Kyle.
There are a lot of them I don't want to see again.

We went to the Idol hunt in CA. If you didnt know every state had an idol hunt, they released clues and the date the idols would be released for each state. Most states had survivor players that lived in the state at the different locations. We had Abi Maria, Ozzy, and Austin at ours. I only got pics with Oz cuz he is my fav
We had to hike up a STEEP 1/4 mile trail up to Griffith Observatory and the idol was up there. We took pics with it and then got entered into a drawing to go to the finale. 1 person from each state will win. It was an amazing experience, we met sooo many fun people!!

Great banner!
I'm worried about Ozzie. He does seem a bit clueless but he's so fun to watch. They need to keep him around long enough for us to get to see him swim some more.
I think Jenna is a wildcard, mouthy kind of player and that scared them. Cerie is charming. I understand the vote.
Coach is still coaching. Someone how has to talk so much about honor is likely trying to convince themselves. He can't admit Ozzie was trying to play with honor and Coach wasn't.
Steph -- I just can't after seeing the antisemetic video. I just want her gone and I'm not happy she has paired up with Colby.
It was a fun start! I'm glad Colby warmed up to Rizzo.

Thank you for the nice comments about the banner. They sure have a lot of contestants this season!
It was an interesting and entertaining first episode. Jeff didn't seem too over the top with his hosting which was good. I noticed that they didn't have a lot of on screen descriptions to identify the players. Maybe they are assuming we will recognize them all so they need no identification?
I'm also happy that Colby warmed up to Rizo. He was sounding like a stereotypical grumpy old guy there for a while.
I agree that Cirie attempting that particular part of the challenge was incredibly stupid. I'd love to know how that decision came about. As the only person from the original season, I was sad to see Jenna go so early but taking on Cirie seems to be a mistake.
I feel bad for Kyle. The only good thing about it from a viewer perspective is with two teams losing a player it means that the first team with a player out won't necessarily go on a losing streak.
Oh and wow did they ever hit us with commercials for the last hour of the show. It was brutal.

Jimmer, thank you for the awesome banner! The banner is so helpful to me with keeping up with the tribes.
I felt bad for Kyle and was glad to hear above that he had surgery to repair his injury.
I'm a big fan of Cirie. It was hard to watch her attempts at throwing the ball to catch it in order to pull down the banner. I'm glad she survived Jenna's attempt to have her torch snuffed at TC. I can't recall, but will she have to volunteer for future challenges? Or is it one and done?
Pamy, am I hearing right....you found the hidden Idol at Griffith Park? If so, congratulations!! Oh, and nice that you got a picture taken with Ozzy.
Pamy/Kar, thank you for the Chart results. It's great!
There were so many alliances made, plus it seemed like there was a lot of advantages or idols in the hands of certain castaways.
Basically good show tonight.
