Recap
Survivor: Heroes v. Healers v. Hustlers premiere recap: 'I'm Not Crazy, I'm Confident'
http://ew.com/recap/survivor-season-35-premiere/

The first episode got off to a good start with a good mix of players. Fun challenge. Always include some nerdy players. :D
Alan Ball, the football player could not have seen previous Survivors. He who talks too much does not do well. You start off low key and get a feel for what is going on. First episode and already he is in your face?? I wonder how long he lasts. Reminds me of Trump a bit. 'I'm Not Crazy, I'm Confident'

Dr. Mike Zahalsky...nerdy guy who raises suspicion from the start as to his search for the idol. Has he not seen precious Seasons? Not the kind of guy most would want as a friend.

Ryan Ulrich, the other nerdy player who found the first clue. Who knows what he is all about.

The first episode got off to a good start with 3 tribes.

It was a pretty good start, lots of interesting characters right away.
I don't think Dr. Mike has a chance,
way too obvious looking for the idol and not really getting along with the others,
he is on his way out.

the football player has even less of a chance,
he doesn't have a clue how to stir things up,
he needed to drop small hints to other players, not go up to them and start yelling at them and demand they take their clothes off.

The other big mistake was the older lady who had the idol and didn't play it,
she even voted for the other old lady to be kicked out,
so now instead of two old ladys there is only one,
who does she think they are going to vote for next time?
she saved the young girl who I would guess has zero chance of voting with her,
but if she had saved the other old lady then she would have been very loyal to her and they would have only needed to pull in one person to have the majority,
now she must get two people to vote with her, which is going to be more than twice as hard as getting one.
my guess is that there is going to be a lot of talk then they will vote her out the next time they lose, and it will be her own fault when she goes.

.. and demand they take their clothes off. [Dude]

Would he have done that to a female player? Knowing him yes :D


Have we ever seen so many losers for a First episode?

This show in a way has become very'social' psychological warfare and less of a survival situation. If you want survival watch 'Alone'. That combines everything in one package.

Survivor is somewhat similar to a daytime soap....only outside and different challenges.

is that alone and naked show still on?

and what happened to that Russian show where they were going to allow them to murder each other? did that one ever make it on tv?

I also noticed that he went after the guy but didn't say that much to the girl when it came to proving she didn't have an idol.
maybe he never heard the saying "what is good for the goose is good for the gander."

The show was cancelled even though they found many suckers to pay £132,000

Come to think of it...getting along is one of the greatest challenges. Not just about Mother Nature.

They had 340 people apply, they should take all their money and send them out in the wilderness, that's 45 million pounds they could have collected.

Another interesting week. The challenge was good. Last place team comes in as winner. It's never over till it's over.
We are getting to know more about each player and some are definitely weird.
Simone- appears to be aloof but in a way she really isn't. Just her style? Regardless she got the boot. Has she not see previous seasons of Survivor. You mingle, you make friends, get people to like you. She missed the class on building relationships. Didn't her family and friends talk to her? Oh well! She is young and maybe her relationship with her family and 9 or 10 siblings is enough. "I want to be alone" :-)

Patrick Bolton. Now he is the player that should have been shown the bamboo door. He is like a kid full of jumping beans. He no doubt kept his parents on their toes. Talk about survival. Many can't stand him but he is a strong physical player and Simone is not. Someone had to go and this time it was not Patrick. Luck of the draw.

Ryan Ulrich-Skinny guy thinks he is in control. We have heard that before.

Lauren Rimmer-35 · NEWPORT, NC · FISHERMAN. More like fisherwoman/man. She wants Patrick out.

Still to early to see any real patterns as mergers etc will change that.
Nice to see some catching/spearing fish along with the scenery.

I don't think Simone ever had much of a chance, she just didn't make any friends, and to really go anywhere in that game you need 3 other people who will vote with you.

Patrick is kind of funny, but I don't think he is going to last either, too many people find him annoying, that's not a good sign.

the skinny guy may be over confident, but he is working with people and making friends, so he will do better, not sure if he has what it takes to win the game, but he has a much better start, it will be interesting to see what he does with the progress he has made so far.

everyone else is still too early to tell, a couple of them seem to look like they know what they are doing, but time will tell.

with all the characters it looks to be a good season again.

another interesting show,

Patrick really started the ball rolling last time when he said - I feel like I can trust most of the people here.

They didn't show the ending of the Octopus/rock, I mean was it a rock or not? I want to know.

my favorite line this game was:
my lips don't go near other peoples cheeks very often.
I forget the girls name who said this.

and Lauren with - Never trust a red head.

I don't think either Lauren or Patrick had any chance to win the game so it didn't really matter that much who they voted out, and next week they are merging anyway...

The recap below tells it all.
http://www.cbs.com/shows/survivor/episodes/216750/


http://insidesurvivor.com/cast/survivor-season-35-cast
Names with pictures.


The Immunity challenge was fun.
We learn that Jessica Johnson is still a virgin and is flirting with Cole Medders. Cole is definitely falling for her. Survivor and romance generally do not do well. A power couple in the making?

There is another power couple, Ashley and JP but they are doing all they can to keep it low key. No romance here, I don't think.
Tribal counsel was interesting as it was all about Lauren and Patrick. Lauren has little good to say about Patrick. It appeared that Lauren was on the outs but a major blindside was in the making. The show lets us see and know only so much to keep it interesting and mysterious.
As it turns out the Hustlers turned on Patrick who was in total shock. He was sure Lauren was on the outs. Patrick at the challenge did not let anyone sub for him and as it tuned out they lost. He is too much of wild card. We had never seen that look on Patrick's face before. If looks could kill. Can't beat a good BLINDSIDE.

Next week...we find out a merge will take place and that changes everything. Hustlers with only 4 members changed that. All the tribes must have seen that coming.

now there is nobody freaking out over octopus-shaped rocks.

and getting voted out sure wiped that smile off Patrick's face.

thinking about it, they are going into a merge with fewer numbers,
my guess is that Lauren does not feel like she fits in with them and would probably be the first to flip on her tribe.
and Patrick would probably annoy other tribes and be much more likely to get voted out first.
so they may be sorry they voted out Patrick because he was such a wildcard, that could cost them later.

A lot is going to happen between now and the end. It ain't over till the last skinny Survivor is still standing.

I am glad Patrick is gone as I found him irritating. I think he is in the moving biz.

Lauren-I don't know who she would fit in with. She does have a bit of a bond with..Alexandrea “Aliâ€

a couple days into their relationship and she is mad at him, they should get married.
