Yay!!! Looking forward to it!

I'm ready too, I hope it's a good one. I have a big tv in my own room too Raven, Dh has the den.

We are ready!!! We are going to do the same bet as last season. After watching the entire first episode (tribal included) we all picked who we thought would win. DH was the first one knocked out. 20 bucks a piece. If none of our people win, we use the money for pizza or something.

The really surprising thing was, when there were 5 people left, 4 of them were the ones chosen by us. My son, daughter, son-in-law and I all had our person left. My son won with Ben the Marine. And of course, our mass txt goes on the entire time, every episode, all season. I LOVE that we txt the whole time.

Thank you. I would have missed it. I thought it started next week.

Thanks!

Oh, thanks for the reminder!

How about we all do as Katlan & we all pick who we think might win the season? We can post our guesses tomorrow. All though I have a hard time remembering every ones names at first.

I'm game! I'll post tomorrow who everyone in my crew picked.

It takes me forever to know their names too Janey. I usually don't watch till later but I'll try to post my guess to. I know one thing - don't pick the person they focus on too much - that's usually a sign of who's leaving! lol

So these are all new players? I was under the impression before that they were bringing back players who really messed up the first time they were on. Like giving their immunity necklace away and then voted off. Am I wrong?

THANKS so much for letting us know, i totally missed that start date!! YAY!! can't wait!!

They are bringing back objects and situations and challenges that people really messed up. Here's some info.

I think it would be fun to do what Katlan does. Everybody guess, and see who picks the winner. I'm really excited to see a crop of newbies!!

I'm so ready!!

Dang, my pick is gone all ready!

Lol kathyg. I was glad to see the first one go. Ugh the attitude, good riddance. Actually, you could still pick. Our family rule is pick at the end of the first show. Or at least before the next episode. We stretched the time frame a little to accommodate our son in law, he couldn't watch with all of us tonight, will watch it tomorrow after work.

I like two guys who've been on the losing tribe but of course, now I can't remember one's name. One is Michael and the other older handsome man. I was very glad the second person went home.

I'll pick Stephanie.

Here's the recap.

I will pick James.

I'm going for Wendell. I like Stephanie, too, but Wendell is my pick to win it all.

How many people can't dive down 3' and sign up for Survivor? Many! lol

Gonzales didn't see that coming and neither did I. I also thought the guy that went to Ghost Island would be going back so the tribe would have to keep him, but ....wrong again.

o.k. here is ours so far. Son Nick pick James (the guy who couldn't dive). Daughter Amanda picked Wendell. DH Randy picked the coach, haha. (I think his name is Brendan, is that your older handsome man Lily?) I, Kathy, went back and forth quite a few times, I like Stephanie, Donathan and Morgan. I regretfully picked Morgan, now I'm having buyers remorse lol. Son in law Nick hasn't even watched it yet.

I picked her because she blasted through that challenge, dove once and released the balls when the other team struggled forever. Now thinking about it, I think she might have been the one at the very beginning that said don't pick me for puzzles. She also I believe got the legacy advantage from Seth Rogan, hahaha, aka Jacob, but then squealed and said I have such a big mouth. Doggone it, I feel, at least for now, I should have gone with Stephanie or Donathan. I was getting my phone out to put in the mass txt that I picked Wendell but our daughter beat me to it.

My pick was Gonzalez.

My son sent me this:

"Listening to a podcast interviewing Gonzales and Jacob,
she said that the plan was to unanimously vote Jacob off at the first vote, but
he was saved by Ghost Island. But he knew that he was going to be voted off, so
the fake idol was a hail mary, not just a random whacky move. The problem was
that he didn't play it correctly when he got back to the tribe. He needed to
pull one person aside and show it to them.

"Jacob
said he was really pissed off when he got the legacy advantage and realized that
it wasn't going to help him, when he needed something to help him right then. He
yelled at the camera for 20 minutes how Sierra screwed him over.
LOL."

My favorites so far are Stephanie, Donathon, Wendell and coach Brendan. I did not shed a tear when Jacob left. He irritated me from the getgo and pouring rice in his dirty sock sealed his fate for me. I liked Gonsalvez during the first hour of the show, but then she became too cocky.

Looking forward to getting to know some of the other players, but if I had to pick my winner, I think it would be Wendall.

I am fine with the 2 losers. Did not like anything about Gonzalez. She was very rude about Donathan and his sexuality and she called Jacob "special". Not a nice girl! Should be interesting with the 2 of them together at ponderosa.

I don't know names yet either. No clue yet on the winner pick.

I like so far, Sebastian, Stephanie, and Jenna. Who does Sebastian remind you of?

Names for those like me that can't remember.

This season is going to be even better than I anticipated. My choice is Stephanie, Brendan was the early favorite but after the second episode I think she has what it takes to get to the end.

I missed last night so im watching right now on demand. Good start!

I watched last night - was happy with the first two out as well. I have NO clue who will win and I couldn't tell you any of their names without going to the site to read up on them. lol

I love the Ghost Island twist so far.
