Survivor starts tonight!

Survivor fans, don't forget to watch the first episode of "Survivor Micronesia" tonight!

I was wondering...is this a condensed version of "Survivor" or the full thing? I think I heard there were ten members on each team, so will there be as many episodes as a regular season?

I think it's the full thing, Misti. They're advertising it as their 16th season, so I guess it's the real deal.

Well, that's kind of deceptive, because they have two per year. They've been on since 2000.

Savannah, you should watch it.

I can't believe that they asked "Johnny Fair Play" to join the cast again!! What a dork he was the first time around. Do you remember how he lied about his grandmother dying so that people would feel sorry for him? It should be interesting.

Yes, Jonny Fairplay was known for his lying. His grandmother was watching at home, cheering on her little grandson. Quite the characters on this show.

Oh good grief...that whole thing with Johnny Fairplay was just ridiculous. Goodbye, good riddens buddy! I was happy to see the 'fans' win the battle...I'll be rooting for them! And Rob, did you know that Erik is from Pinckney, MI? He was on the news last night, but I went to bed...darn it!! He goes to Eastern Michigan University. How cool! Last season was Frosti from Traverse City, now we have Erik!

And puhlease vote off Parvarti, puhlease!!!!! Oh, I just can not TAKE her and her flirting!! I know she's just playing 'her game', but it makes me and it really makes me that James is totally falling for it. ARGH!! Sorry, but I just find all this 'island romance' (or shall we say LUST) totally pathetic.

All that said...well, I'll be watching! I'm a true Survivor fan---I guess getting ticked off with half the players is part (or most!) of the fun!

I enjoyed it last night too, Amy. And yes, Parvarti is sooooooooooo annoying! When I was on the board last night, Rob was too, and I pm'd him, asking if he watched Survivor. He taped it and will be watching tonight, so he won't check this thread until later.

Oh...oops! I really should white that out---I'll go back and do that! Thanks...I don't like spoiling it for anyone!

Amy,
I don't think that you'd be spoiling it for anyone. Since it was on last night, people come in here today to talk about it, so if someone hasn't watched it, then I'm sure they wouldn't check this thread until they see it.

Yes, that's true. Amy, thanks for whiting it out, but you don't have to in the future. I haven't watched the show yet, but I got curious so I read what you wrote. For some reason, I kinda like knowing what happens ahead of time, and then watching the show to see how it all unfolds.

Because I'm such a Survivor fan, I'm gonna force myself to watch Parvati, even though it'll be difficult...

I am kinda dissappointed that Jon left first only because he is such a character. An idiot freak, but very entertaining to watch, lol. I wanted Eliza off first. She isn't the best player and I don't know why half of these people were picked to be the faves. When she walked out no one hardly clapped and they looked at her like, who is that? Jonathan was a total boob on his Survivor. The only ones that were great Survivors were, Cirie, Yau Man, and Ozzy. James was strong but I don't like him. The others are pretty forgettable. I do really like Ami though, she is cool, but not any type of all-star. I wish Ian (Pulau), Brandon (Guatamala), and Yul (Cook Islands) were on. Ian and Yul were asked if they wanted to be on but declined. Ian now lives is NYC, not here anymore , and started his own production company. Wish my hometown guy luck! Back on 05 I bumped into him at a club, lol.

This time I have Mary (the fake boob looking girl, lol) in the Survivor pool. I don't think she will last long. I am rooting for Cirie, Ozzy or Yau man. So far no faves on the Fans tribe.

I am sooooo glad the fans won the first challenge. That Cathy lady sure is a wierdo, lol. And Chet once live around here. Joel is the ugliest thing I have ever seen, lol. He does look like the Hulk.

Oh and Survivor is going to be extented to season 20, 18 at the most.

I've always liked Ozzy. He was awesome at all of the physical challenges when he was on the first time.

Oh I know! No one can top him!!!

It's hard not to poke fun when they're wearing bikini tops that are 2 sizes too small for them. Although I'm sure that Rob enjoyed it. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember someone asked Mark Burnett, the show's creator, if they would ever do a Survivor in a cold weather climate. He was like, "Um, no... too many clothes."

Oh yeah, I bet he did! :bash:

No, really, he did! Or maybe it was Probst. I know it was someone connected to the show.
