Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains (Premieres February 11)

[Melanie]

I will get laughed at here, but they ALL need to go get jobs!!

I don't think this group is as bad as some others (Real World/Road Rules comes to mind). Is it really that bad?

[Ian]

Your right, some of them need to get jobs and stop living in the past

I dunno ... They seem pretty smart to me. I'm quite certain they all make, regardless of what place they finish, a ton of cash. I'd milk that cash cow for all it was worth, too.

[KarenP]

I'd milk that cash cow for all it was worth, too.

So would I Ian!!

[Greenlawler]

Are you guys kidding me? What you hate lovable guys with big hearts? Rupert all the way! That is unless they shock us and bring Big Tom in! Hurrah for Goat farmers!!!!!! Oh well go Fireman Tom and Rupert!!!! To bad Kentucky Joe is not in.

[tinkerbelle75]

Great list this time! I am glad Rupert is coming back..I really liked him. I like Rob, too....but Pavarti....meh. Can't stand Coach. He is soooo creepy. I am personally a big fan of Russell. I think he's the best Survivor player ever!!

[Diznee4Me]

Looking forward to it. Can't wait for Thursday!

[thrillme]

I was kinda hoping for Yao Man to be back.

But oh well. I like the line up. I think they have plenty of people wanting to come in but fans all over have been asking about some of these characters.

Personally for me...the islands and the water are soooo beautiful. The experience is so unique...It wouldn't be TOTALLY about the money. Since I started watching Survivor I've added so many places I want to "go before I die", I'm going to have to live to be 300 years old.

[Lakin]

Oh great, the 'dragon slayer' is back. >_<

[Disneymom4ever]

My family and I are so excited for Thursday! What a great group of villians and heroes. It's going to be fun watching them interact together. (Though I do wish Yao man would come back as well).

[Ian]

I'd love to see Yao Man and Big Tom back. They were two of my all-time favorites.

I'd love to see Yao Man and Big Tom back. They were two of my all-time favorites.

From MercuryNews.com:

Turns out that Yau-Man Chan of Martinez was, indeed, approached by producers, but reluctantly turned down the invite. The popular UC Berkeley computer whiz, who charmed millions in the Fiji edition and returned to play in Micronesia, was flat out of vacation time.

At first, Chan, 57, was disappointed over missing another chance to compete. But after studying the male half of this season's roster, which includes the likes of Rupert Boneham, James Clement and "Boston" Rob Mariano, he's just fine with watching from the comfort of his couch.

"I look at that cast and it's loaded with real power players — a lot of type-A personalities," he says. "I don't think I'd have any chance out there with those guys. I'm more of a subtle player, who relies on playing an intellectual game. I wouldn't fit in with this group."

[Scar]

So who thinks those chickens were planted?

[Greenlawler]

I wonder who else was approached and said no?

For the villains:
Keith (Australia)
Clay (Thailand)
Lex (Africa) (although could have been a hero)
Shi Hann (Thailand)
John (Pearl Islands) although I think he has burnt this bridge
Rafe (Guatemala)

Heroes:
Rodger (Australia)
Micheal (Australia)
Tina (Australia)
Tom (Africa) (although could have been a villain)
Butch (Amazon)
Jenna (Amazon)


Any others? I have only watched these seasons and I did watch last season.

[pixiesmimi]

I think they are the chickens that got loose on the last season. LOL

I was hoping to never see Coach again. Rob either. He has been on every reality show out there just about. By the way, what is going to happen to him next week? I mean stroke? Snake bite? Whoa!

Oh and Randy. Man! Could they have picked a worse person to bring back?

If Sugar and JT are a couple (hope not) she sure was trying to flirt with Colby tonight.

[Ian]

Kinda funny ... they approached Richard Hatch to do it, but he couldn't get permission from the courts to break his house arrest long enough to go. Heh heh heh.

I thought going in that Coach would be my host hated villain, but oh no no ... that title goes to Randy. He is just a loathesome human being and I hope he gets voted out ASAP. I can't stand that guy.

I'm sort of torn, though, with allegiances, because two of my favorites (Rob and Russell) are on the villains tribe while some of my other favorites (Stephanie and Rupert) are on the heroes. It's gonna be hard figuring out what tribe to root for.

I thought last night's ep was good, but I kinda felt like that challenge got a little carried away. I mean when you start dislocating shoulders and breaking toes and intentionally ripping people's clothes off that's a bit much IMO.

[laprana]

I think they are the chickens that got loose on the last season. LOL

Ha ha! That's exactly what I said last night - "I wonder if those are the chickens that Shambo let out last season!"

I'm really liking this season so far. I'm also having a tough time figuring out which team to root for because both tribes have people that I like and want to watch. I was a little bummed to see Sugar get voted off so early, but I think she was right when she said she was the weakest link on the team. I was glad that it wasn't Cirie or Stephenie who went, though.

Russell is definitely up to his old tricks already, but I'm not so sure they're going to work with this group. I guess we'll see!

I think it's going to be really interesting to see how these groups interact, especially the villains. With Russell, Randy, Boston Rob, Tyson, and Coach all on the same tribe, things could get very interesting! Russell was already getting his panties in a bunch with others taking a leadership role, and Randy not wanting to try making a fire? What a weirdo!

The previews for next week were a little scary for Boston Rob! I hope he's OK and doesn't get taken out of the game this early!

[thrillme]

I like both sides. I like Rob...I hope he's OK. Rob tends to be a work horse...like "good" Russell last season...he might have just over estimated his capabilities...after all he's a married man, father and I doubt they're hurting for money...he's probably gotten a bit "softer" than the old rough and tough "Godfather" he used to be. I loved the way he showed up Randy..."you can't start a fire without flint" attitude.

I'm thinking Rob either "A" fell and hit his head or "B" just got dehydrated (seems like he should know better by now).

Poor Stephanie...but at least she got fixed. Tough girl. Poor Rupert...He just doesn't quite seem himself. He seems a little tired this time around...then again the toe might be painful.

Funny...I was thinking those were "Shambo Chickens"...LOL.

I've got favorites on both sides. I was kinda hoping to get rid of Circe. I liked her the first time she was on but she's just not as "appealing" now that she "knows" the game for some reason. But...I can see why they targeted Sugar. I can't believe they even remotely discussed Stephanie at this stage in the game . That would have been a BIG mistake.

There's been a lot of speculation that Sugar's "undoing" by Sandra in the first challenge was totally "intentional". Sandra is neither my favorite nor my unfavorite...but what "I" saw was just that it was a very "physical" challenge and she "grabbed" what she could grab in an attempt to hold her down. I've seen dozens of gals grabbing at the back of swimsuits ...It just doesn't make sense that she would unhitch her and allow her to escape. Hero or Villian...I just think it "happened"

[KarenP]

My favorite is Rob followed by Russell so I have to root for the villians. Stephanie is my favorite female however.

I thought the first challenge last night was way outta control! I don't mind a physical challenge but people were kicking each others butts!

I was not sorry to see Sugar go. She is a nice girl but did not belong there, imo.

Next week's previews look scary. I sure hope Rob is okay. I would be so bummed if he is out in the second week!!

[Nascfan]

I agree with Ian on Randy. What a waste of a human being. Rob has gotten on my good side so far. Having a family changes a man, and it looks like for the good in his case. Liked that "I'm not a hero?" at the beginning!

Getting rid of Sugar was no great loss as far as I'm concerned. Never really cared much for her the first time around.

[tink'72]

So who thinks those chickens were planted?

That is exactly what my house said while watching!
