That "have" camp was really something.

The previews for next week look pretty intense.

Was it just me or did the cast members seem (with two exceptions) to be getting along better then normal?

I couldn't get to know them enough to warm up to any of them yet. Some of them are truly obnoxious. And what is with all the nicknames? Are people intent on taking on new identities out there now? Very odd.

I do like the twist with having the two idols back at the camps instead of on Exile Island. Nice! But the have and have-nots? I'm not sure how that will play out. I'm surprised the Have-nots took it in stride.

What an interesting start... one person backing out at the last moment. What a shame... they have alternatives.. if they would've just had the notice then someone who WANTED to play could've played... anyway...I know that if I had to go to this Exile Island with all those snakes,well,they'd be carrying me off that island - ick! I agree about the nicknames... are they thinking a new name will extend their 15 minutes of fame? I thought James (Rocky) and those two girls (Erica and Jessica I think) had an alliance?? If you check the website you'll see that all three voted for someone different... Mookie seemed to be the 'ringleader' in getting Jessica booted... with 6 votes total - if that's the case then he's a silent leader since he had no real airtime. I am shocked that they did not boot the 'easy' target of the 'old guy' like they usually do. I do think this will be a good season!

It will be an interesting season I think, I think the motivation of all those snakes would make me do just about anything to keep myself off exhile island...hidden idol clues or not.

A good start. Not really crazy about the nicknames. Rocky, Dreamz, Boo, Mookie...

Yao-Man is great! Watching him open the crate made me laugh. He obviously won't be a serious contender physically but it will interesting to see how long he sticks around. I thought Sylvia was a goner after she took charge of building the camp. Interesting that she had to go to "Snake Island". Eek. She was OK with me until the "askew" conversation with Rocky. If he didn't know what "askew" meant, did she really think he would know "orthagonal"? Crooked, not straight, leaning...all would have worked.

The two camps are an interesting twist. Does ownership of the "good" camp change according to the challenges? I thought that was how this was going to play. Winners get the good camp.

I liked the first episode ... although this season seems kinda soft? A house? A potty? A kitchen? Food? Fire?

Half the fun of this game is watching them struggle and learn to survive ... they sort of took that away with the Home Depot approach ...

Anyway, I kinda like the cast. They seem a lot more normal than some previous years. This group doesn't look like a bunch of people trying out for acting careers.

Although the nicknames are odd.

Oh! I can't believe I missed it! I forgot it was starting last night - does anyone know if they'll be replaying it? They've occasionnally done that on Saturday nights in past seasons. Please, please!
