Matt is a friend of my wife and I from a previous job. I'll be watching this year as usual.

 

[SecretMoblin]

1.5 hour premiere? When was the last time we had one of those?

It was originally 2 hours, but it was scaled back.

 

[chris121580]

I love Allie already

Is his personality as wild and entertaining as his facial hair?

You'll have to provide us with feedback on his edit because it's always interesting to hear what facets of someone's personality CBS carefully omits because they don't help to tell the underlying story they've mapped out for the season.

 

[peteykirch]

I can't believe the season is already starting, seems like the last one ended a couple weeks ago.

 

[789shadow]

I bet Francesqua goes home tonight.

 

[Galang]

Wait it's an hour and a half premiere? Yes! I loved the last time they did the two hour premier. It feels more fitting for the first episode as you get more acquainted with the characters.

Time for queen Brenda to slayyyy. Well hopefully anyway

With the cast of returning people, at least the ones I remember, I can't see how Malcolm and Brenda don't run away with it.

 

[KibblesBits]

Oh crap, I almost forgot about this! Thanks for the bump.

 

[UberTag]

I bet Francesqua goes home tonight.

I concur.

Can't wait for the introductions from Probst tonight.

"Hey Fans... we're bringing back some of the most memorable Survivors from the past few years to battle wits with you."

"Here's Francesca!" <silence>
"And Malcolm!" <tumbleweed rolls by>

Fan #1 to Fan #2: <whisper> Should we be recognizing these people?
Fan #2 to Fan #1: Just shut up, smile and applaud like you do.

Then comes the DR where they say they were huge fans.

No one should know Malcolm though. He's getting the Hantz benefit.

 

[rangersfan414]

1.5 hour premiere? When was the last time we had one of those?

Last season




Also, how has Erik still not gotten a haircut?!

 

[Touchdown]

jeesh, gonna have to keep flipping between this and Idol.

 

[SecretMoblin]

Hopefully this episode disabuses people of the idea that several of these cast members are actual "fans".

 

[789shadow]

It's time, gentlemen.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Wow almost half the favorites aren't fan favorites. Lol this should be good.

 

[cacophony]

Brandon been eatin lol

 

[789shadow]

ROLL IT ON RUPERT'S TOE

 

[KibblesBits]

Is she stripping Malcolm?

 

[peteykirch]

Brandon been eatin lol

And he got a ton of ink done too.

I don't remember him having all those tattoos.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Shocking News: People who have played Survivor before beat people who haven't played Survivor before.

 

[Kifimbo]

What was a pretty good first challenge.

 

[SecretMoblin]

Shocking News: People who have played Survivor before beat people who haven't played Survivor before.

I have a feeling this will need to be quoted several times throughout the season.

And every subsequent one.

 

[kirblar]

Whenever they've had returnees, one of them has always made the F2/F3.

They either dominate or become gigantic goats.

 

[peteykirch]

That one huge guy on the Fans team is going to be a pain in the ass.

He's already throwing a fit.

 

[KibblesBits]

They are already arguing.

 

[789shadow]

Shamar is not long for this game.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Francesca: I have an advantage, because no one fucking knows who I am.

 

[kirblar]

Francesca: I have an advantage, because no one fucking knows who I am.

She got cast because of Phillip.

 

[Galang]

Can't believe they're already arguing.

Really curious to see the alliances that form on the favorites tribe. Phillip is annoying me already.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Francesca: I have an advantage, because no one fucking knows who I am.

For some reason, Probst seems to love her. Not sure why, since she was on for, like, three days

Spoiler

and she's a woman

, but I remember reading an interview with him during her season where he raved about how great a player she was and how shocked and disappointed he was when she was sent home so early.

 

[UberTag]

She got cast because of Phillip.

Can he pronounce her name properly yet? I'm not watching this 'til I get home from work.

 

[KibblesBits]

Good job on the fire!

 

[789shadow]

Shamar: "Don't worry, I got this."

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Impressive fire making skills there.

 

[peteykirch]

"Being stealth, you know the under cover brother in the game."

 

[789shadow]

Because making an alliance with everyone in the game works so well.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Because when you think stealth, you think Philip Sheppard.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Philip as the 'undercover brother'.

But he's so bad at trying to be 'stealthy'. That scene of him telling Erik, "oh, by the way, I'm just a messenger so don't think I'm running the show' was some great comedy.

 

[Live Free or Die]

"Being stealth, you know the under cover brother in the game."

Lol.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Because when you think stealth, you think Philip Sheppard.

I sure do. I mean, he had an alliance called "Stealth R Us". How much more stealthy can you get?

 

[kirblar]

Making out in the tribe hut at night? lololololol

Allie is so gone.

 

[SlowRevolution]

not-coach already making the season unwatchable. the characters lately have been so forced.

Erik/Brenda/Malcolm are so much better than the other favorites

Fat Brandon is kind of funny at least

holy shit how did Shamar just manage to do that with his leg

 

[matthewwhatever]

Erik/Brenda/Malcolm are so much better than the other favorites

Cochran and Brendan aren't exactly high bars to clear.

 

[KibblesBits]

Cochrane looks like he's having an allergic reaction.

 

[Touchdown]

How can you not like Cochran lol

 

[789shadow]

And then Cochran was a tomato.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

You...you guys realize you have 4 in a tribe of 10?

Guess these 'fans' don't remember One World very well.

Pretty sure this filmed right after One World, too.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Yay! Another alpha alliance that can't do math.

How can you not like Cochran lol

Probably because I know that if I ever somehow got on Survivor, he's exactly how terrible I'd be,
