Can't wait, though I won't watch until this weekend on demand. Thursday nights are too taxing for tv fans! Why can't they spread some love to Wednesdays when, until Pushing Daisies starts, there's nothing on!

For obvious reasons, Bob the physics teacher is my favorite. Unfortunately, I see a lot Yao-Man in him, which means he'll do well, but won't win.

Survivor in HD...life is good.

Yes, please make a clear warning. PLEASE PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH THE SPOILERS. I like to be surprised. Thank you.

Now - I have a love/hate relationship with this show. I always say I'm gonna skip it and I always come back to it.

My brief intital thoughts -

The HD. It looks so good!

Randy is a douche.

Jacquie must have never watched the show if he doesn't forsee them ever losing. Hubris, honey. Hubris.

I thought I was gonna be uncomfortable with Charlie's overt unrequited love for ... is it Marcus? Anyway, I thought the guy whose name might be Marcus handled it well, seemed flattered and not icked out, and wasn't going to exploit that. Good on him, I say. I like them both.

I felt bad for GC and the leader BS. He was right to call them all out on it that if they wanted a leader so bad, one of them should step up. I thought he DID make an admirable effort at worst, but I really don't blame him for telling them to shove it.

Jeff can really be a tool, too, but I thought what he said to Fang after they almost won that challenge was nice.

I think a two hour premiere is a brilliant idea. This is the first season where I felt like I had a general handle on the players after the first episode.

I dunno. Maybe others will disagree, but I thought this season is off to a really good start.

Yeah, I was suprised at how many guys wear wearing jackets and ties.

Do we have to say spoilers if the episode has aired? I'd say not, but just in case I'M TALKING ABOUT STUFF FROM THE EPISODE LAST NIGHT THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED A SPOILER ---

My first instinct when Dan couldn't figure out the exile island clue was "What a dumb ass," but then I thought that I could see myself being on the show and just not comprehending like that. Poor guy. That whole team is kinda dumb, though. You know they'll mix them up within a few weeks, though.

The men wear suits so they have an excuse to run around in their underwear.

---

Oh holy hell, I forgot this was on last night.

And the worst part is I don't even know what the heck I watched?

---

Yeah, I know what you mean. That part about how he could just look at him and feel safe or whatever? The poor dear.

Ha! Like I've said a million times, I have such a love/hate relationship with the show. In the course of an episode I always wind up hating someone at the beginning and liking them near the end, etc. Plus I'm in a Survivor pool and I have to have my picks by next week and I have NO idea who to choose. I think I'm going to let my dog pick for me.

ROFLMAO, Calvin!

I'm with Matt re Charlie. CREEPY.

---

I also found Charlie's antics to be quite creepy. Marcus handled it REALLY well, though.

Bob remains my favorite.

HAHA yes DBillyP, I caught that and thanks to DVR frame advance, one can see little marcus flop out for some air. Either the editors missed it, or someone left it in for a little controversy. You would miss it if you blinked.
