Survivor Samoa start Sept 17 - Page 3

Russell is such a villain that I find him interesting to watch. I always appreciate when someone has a game plan, no matter how extreme, and sticks to it. In the first half of the first episode, he's pushing the rules to the absolute limit. If he gets to the end, he'll deserve it. If he gets booted quickly, he'll deserve that, too.

I don't know who is the worst....Russell, Yasmin, or Ben. At least Russell, as Mousepod notes, is interesting. Yasmin is just a b**** and Ben is just a wannabe thug.

Agreed on Yasmin and Ben. There are a lot of people I don't like this season.

Looks like people start to get smart next week at least.

While Ben may be the first to have technically been "kicked out" of a challenge, I think Robb choking Clay was probably the real first of that category. He might not have been kicked out but if I recall correctly losing the point on the choke move ended the game, so he might as well have been.

Seems to me that Survivor only gets good later on when all the total nutjobs are finally out and it isn't nails on a chalkboard week after week....but that as the years go by, more and more of the castaways are total nutjobs, and it takes longer and longer for the decent people to get some screen time.

That is true. I usually can't even keep people straight until there's 8-10 left.

I think they're totally setting up to do an All-Star "Heroes vs. Villians" season. They have enough contestants from each extreme now to make it a fun show. It'd be interesting to see all the bad kids together - Johnny Fairplay, Russell, etc. Just imagine what they'd do to each other.

Hmm, bad guys and loons all together would be quite a treat, and an alternative good guys and intelligent players team would actually mean screen time for smarts.

Does anyone know the shooting schedule for Survivor? Could they still be in Samoa filming the next season? Cuz if they are they might have something new to deal with...

Edited to add: Nope, they are on break. The next season will start filming in Oct and is located in:

Russell got screwed by a bunch of bitter people. He played an awesome game, no matter how much you hate him, he was a master manipulator. Too bad he missed that one last step and Natalie took advantage.

Looking forward to Heroes vs. Villains!

I'd like to announce that I'll be opening my psychic hotline soon.

Frightening that I even nailed the title. And, I swear I had absolutely no inside info.
