Margaret was definitely impressive last night.  I would say that her and Gary Hogeboom have to be considered the favorites right now.

I have to admit that I only caught the last 30 minutes of the show. I was really disappointed that I didn't get to see it from the first minute. Anyway, thanks Trevor for your breakdown of the show. I'm not really sure who I'll be pulling for this season yet. I need to watch a few more shows. I remember Steph from last season and I remember that she had a really hard time. She actually had to spend the night by herself because all of her tribe was voted out. That would suck. Anyways, look forward to following along on this board. I'll need something to keep me from going into BB withdrawals. ]][

As usual, the first episode makes it hard to figure out the players.  We're priviliged already to know Steph and Bobby Jon (I like them both and I hope they last a while).  Other standouts include Gary, Margaret, Brandon, and Danni (at least those are the ones I remember).  I cringed when Steph began with "Here's what I learned on Survivor...." as that could get old fast, but apparently she provided some worthwhile advice about handling a canoe and it may have made the difference in winning the Immunity Challenge (that, and the fact that Nakum's men were still suffering from dehydration effects).   Both challenges (if you count the initial trek as a challenge) were very close, so this season is shaping up to be a more even game than Pulau.

One funny thought: even though at Tribal Council, Jeff commented that the ruins were real, it still looked like a set!  Maybe the lighting made the ruins look, uh, less than real.

I felt bad for Jim, but his boot was the obvious one, considering his injury.  Previews for next week make it look not so good for Blake.

Yeah, I knew when Jim was laying on the ground  at that tree that he going home. He didn't look to be in the best physical shape. Also, I agree that it hurt him when he came to tribal council with a homemade sling. Also, that he went into detail about having a torn bicep. He may have been hoping to go home after finding out how tough it was going to be.

Thanks *D*.  Definitely watch Survivor as it should be able to help you through your Big Brother withdrawals.

I agree with you Rmax.  From what I can tell, Blake is a goner.  He's lucky that Jim was in such bad shape yesterday, or else he might have been sent home first.  People always want to avoid conflict if at all possible, and if somebody is obviously hurt, that person always goes home.

Thank you careybear!!!!!!!  Margaret is going to be a big factor this season.  I moved her up behind Gary Hogeboom in my list of contenders for the title.

Nice Tenboard!  As a message board we could start a Survivor tradition.  I know that I do have my own tradition and that is a medium pepperoni pizza (I do cheat sometimes and go with mushroom) and a twelve pack of Yuengling (finishing the entire twelver is not required).  Yuengling is getting easier to find, it used to only be found in Pennsylvania.

Great Breakdown Trevor.  I always enjoy reading your thoughts of the show.  I am pleased that Steph is on the show again as I really liked her last time.  I hope she can last awhile on the show.  Judd and his mudbath on the beach was exactly what I expected of him.  I told the kids that he is the meathead of the show and he should be entertaining to watch.  Brandon also got my interest.  Gary is definitely going to be another one to cheer for.  I can hardly wait for the next one.  :]

I know. The set's real, but it doesn't look real when all of the lights are surrounding it. {l{ The Tribal Council set still looks cool. And very ironic...

Thanks bathfizzy!

Judd will definitely be a meathead, reminds me a little of Bubba from Survivor Vanuatu.

The tribal council set definitely looks surreal.  I agree that the lighting they are using on the ruins gives it a really, really cool look.
