Loved it! But I thought if I heard Sandra say "queen" one more time I was going to throw something at the TV! Hopefully they wise up and boot her off the next go round... but they are changing up the teams so who knows? I love it that they are doing that - keeps things more interesting. I agree about all the food! Raven you're right - those chickens have plenty to eat without Tai wasting corn on them. I hope no one catches a goat! I don't care how hungry they may get - I don't want to see them killing a goat!

Oh wow - that's actually a great idea! Some names I've never forgotten but there are more that I have. I'll have to make sure the dvr is set to record. It automatically does the regular Survivor series so hopefully this is set too. But thanks for the heads up!

Did any of you see Amazing Race when Rob and Amber were on the first time (they were on it twice)? On leg 2 of the race (so all but one team was still in it) there was one task where the teams had to transport 180 books a distance of 8 blocks to a library. They had one hand truck/dolly to use. Rob very carefully managed to stack all 180 books on the hand truck at once, so he and Amber only had to make one trip to the library. The other four teams doing this task had to make at least two trips - most teams made three or more trips. Rob is one smart guy. Rob and Amber should have won Amazing Race but they came in second. On the way back to the United States for the final tasks and race to the finish line, Rob and Amber were ahead of Uchenna & Joyce, and Ron & Kelly. Rob and Amber got on the airplane and Uchenna and Joyce (and Ron and Kelly) were far enough behind that the flight should have left without them, but the producers held the flight past the scheduled departure time to allow Uchenna and Joyce to get to the airport and board the flight.

I haven't checked the recap yet, but wanted to say hat I like the extended episodes early in the season. The producers are making a real effort to let us get to know the players. I think that's been a frequent criticism in other seasons, that the one hour format didn't let us see many of the people. But the first couple of episodes at 90 minutes is great.
