It is about time CBS decided to have the good guys against the bad guys. Even though as soon as I heard about this I immediately thought of the Inferno 2 Real World Road Rules Challenge, lol. But hey if it works, it works. My husband and I are big fans of Survivor and love analyzing all of the game play decisions. It can get pretty interesting because we have our different players we are rooting for the win and of course I think I am always right!
So for this season there are the Villains:
I can understand bringing back Russell (he deserved to win last season, he played the best I have seen ever!) , Boston Rob ( I just love to hate him), Jerri and Parvati. Tyson, Randy and Courtney did not stand out in my mind. I don’t think Coach was really a villain, I just think he was crazy! He is already getting on my nerves. The sucking up to Boston Rob and constantly talking about how he beat Colby. He kept talking about it like he really did something. I don’t know he just rubs me the wrong way. Oh and we just loved the part where Randy actually said ” You can’t make a fire by rubbing two sticks together”. Huh!?!?! Did he really say this on Survivor?
For the Heroes we have:
It is nice to see Rupert again. I actually voted for him to win the million dollars when the viewers got to pick our favorite. But this time I think his ego may bring the team down. He was obsessed with being the one to make fire and broke the flint. I do feel bad he broke his toe though.
It is obvious that James should be a hero. He is one of my favorites even though he messed up that time and got voted off when he had two idols in his pockets! Plus I love the fact that he is such a genuine hard worker.
I was surprised to see Cirie. Not in a bad way, she was able to make her way through past games by outwitting a lot of players. She is on my list of people who I wanted to win. I just hope she can make it through this time.
Another person I was beyond happy to see was Stefenie. That girl is good! She is a strong player and proved it right away when she dislocated her shoulder on the first episode this season. That was a sign right there that this is going to be a touch season and I can see a lot of people getting hurt. I always felt bad that she did not win on previous seasons. She had outlasted her entire tribe. She managed to remain competitive even though her tribe lost every immunity challenge. I think I would have just broken down. It was so sad when the show sent her back to her camp all by herself.
This was a great two hour premiere even though the Heroes really messed up on the puzzle and blew their lead. They should have just let two people work on it. My husband says he thinks Sugar could have solved it. I am not sure. I am glad she got voted off, honestly this is not the time to cry and show weakness. Plus I did not see what she could bring to the tribe. I was scared for a minute because I thought they were going to vote off Cirie. The previews for next week show Boston Rob passing out. I am thinking maybe he is dehydrated or something. We will see.
So what do you think? Who are your favorites? Who do you want to see go?

I am so excited for this season, I have favorites on both sides. I completely agree with Coach being a villian. I said the exact same thing to my husband about him. He’s not so much a villiam but weird and annoying. I also think that Russel should have won, but he seemed a little out of his element in this first episode. Not to mention I think he’s playing too hard too fast. But we’ll see.. I also agree with your assessment of the heros. This should be a great season, I’ll be sure to stay tuned to your blog so I don’t miss your take on it.
@ Amy I think Russell may be really intimidated. There are villains who did not play as well as he did and won. If they do not get rid of him the first chance they get it will be a mistake. I wonder will he find any idols this season. Thanks so much for visiting me
I was sooo excited to see Survivor come back like this. Rupert and James are at the top of my list of who I’d like to see win. I really don’t care for any of the ladies.
@ Cat Well let’s hope they make it to final two. Or three, lol.
