Oh man! I am so disappointed they are having a season without ANY returning players! NOT!!!!!!!!! This was the greatest premier since Redemption Island. I was so happy to get to see two tribal councils in the first episode. I guess it was actually two episodes but you know what I mean. I vote Survivor be changed to two hours every week, have two tribals every week and bring back the final two.
As Kass asked about her tribe I would really like to know the criteria it took to be placed on each tribe. Probst said it best about the "Brain" tribe, "This is the oddest tribe I have ever seen". They are by far the stupidest group of people to ever play the game. Even though I thought to myself that J'tia would be someone I would like to keep around because I think she would make a terrific goat to ride to the end like Russell Hantz or Phillip Shepard, I was still shocked to see her survivor two tribal councils.
Survivor and reality TV in general has had a really hard time finding African Americans that they have been able to portray positively. Placing two African American women on the "Brain" tribe was an obvious attempt to change this and of course it completely backfired. J'tia maybe crazier than "Former Federal Agent" Phillip. However, it looks like Kass may be almost as smart as me and is going to use J'tia as a goat, know she has no chance at winning. So instead of J'tia leaving, David and Garrett get voted out. The former left after finding the idol and I'm sure his biggest disappointment will not getting a chance to play with Brice.
As far as the "Beauty" tribe the only one I would classify as beautiful is Morgan, but I am thrilled to see she is smarter and more strategic than anyone on the "Brain" tribe. She is the hottest Survivor since Angie Layton but I have a feeling she will last a lot longer, which is just fine with me.
Then we have the Brawn tribe who have some drama. I can't even remember there names but it looks like a big cat fight is in the works and there's Tony who in my experience with cops is very good representation of America's Law Enforcement team. I think he would fit in really good on "Brain" tribe and judging by his logic, bald head and his injury prone challenge performance I'm pretty sure he's related to Micheal Skupin. He did find the idol but I doubt he'll figure out how to use it effectively. I loved watching him squirm when being interrogated by the chick cop.
"I'm not a cop, they don't allow tattoos like this" He says.
"How do you know that?"
"Uh I got 50 friends who are cops"
Brilliant.
It looks like it's going to be a really exciting season.
NEXT WEEK ON SURVIVOR! Does the "Brain" tribe have a snowballs chance in hell of winning a challenge with no rice and J'tia still on the tribe?
