You know, if I ended up on the lap-of-luxury team, I think I'd feel a little gypped. Probably not enough to, like, eschew (sorry Rocky, is that word too big for you) the amenities, but still. If I signed up for Survivor, I'd want to play Survivor...living in a crappy lean-to, scrounging for food, etc. I wouldn't want the cushy experience.

Oh well, I'm not too upset about Jessica. As usual, the headshots fail to accurately portray the relative attractiveness. It's between Erica and Michelle now, though I think Erica's thinking too much too early. She should ditch the hat and just rock the fro.

I'm assuming that the first time they lose a challenge, the resort is history. It'll either disappear during tribal counsel, they'll switch with the other team, the other team will get to tear it down or they'll have to tear it down themselves. Unless there's some typically blatant do-it-yourself sponsor tie-in that I missed.

Funny, I found the fro totally distracting, and felt much better about her when she wore the hat. Rocky was annoying, not because he looked like Rocky, but because he wouldn't stand up for himself and say "call me James, damnit." He also seems to be one of those hotheaded Italian types and can I just say blech.

I am glad the mom stayed, and I like dorky Asian guy, of course. As usual, I can't tell any of the meaty men apart yet.

The fro just exudes confidence.

Okay, so screw whoever quit before they even got on the boat. WTF is that? How many hundreds (thousands?) of people try to get on the show and some wuss bailed before even starting?

I wonder how the team-picking would have gone if they had the full 20 people. 2 captains, each sent to exile island perhaps? Something completely different? You gotta wonder how much contingency planning they do.


Speaking of exile island, interesting twist with the immunity idol being at camp (I do seem to remember the teasers at the end of last season mentioning 2 hidden idols). Obviously Sylvia ain't going to tell anybody. That'll make for an interesting moment the next time someone on that team goes to exile and finds out. Will they talk to Sylvia about it, or will it remain an unspoken thing? And what kind of fireworks are going to go off when a few more have gone and it inevitably leaks out to those that haven't been to exile? Fun stuff.

Oh, and they all need to stop with the nicknames thing. This is turning into Survivor: Flavor of Love Edition

I'm not watching but I do watch Apprentice:LA. This is their "twist" this year as well. You don't sign up for Survivor to live in luxury and you don't sign up to live in tents while you are interviewing with The Donald. Sucks for the contestants to have it be so different, but that is reality TV for ya.
