Thanks to the mods for selling out the game and avoiding the awkward situation of the second (or fourth!)-place finished taking home the cash.

Aw damn, I’ll have to remember this for the next season.

You can have Kellyn, my third pick, if you'd like. You'll just have to pay Damfino or me the $5.

Sure, I can do that. I’ll send it to whomever’s easier.

You can just send it to me. That way Damfino won't have to refund me. I'll send you a private message with my paypal email address.

Done deal.

Odds of Kellyn going home during first tribal just shot up.

Probst really liked her in an interview that I read. I was surprised she was one of the three people still left.

Got it, the thread has been updated accordingly.

My only research is the basic info on the CBS player pages: Age, occupation, "why are you going to win?". No wonder I usually make early exits.

I never read the bios. I watch the casting video on CBS.com and read a Jeff Probst cast preview article.

Graphic including the Gryffinmaster change, plus tonight's votes...because this is how you play Survivor with the greatest Survivor team ever!


(Sorry Damfino!)

Sorry Navinabob. No three-peat for you, thanks for playing.

I knew Jacob was toast because he got a lot of screen time. I took the Quack play on purpose too. At least I’ve got 2 others.

Thanks for playing Navinabob! I hated to see Gonzalez go, but she and Jacob dug their own graves. Michael is impressive for an eighteen year old. Domenick and Stephanie could also be a strong wildcards. Donathan looks to be getting the early winner's edit. This could be a strong season.

I already know I'm not going to win. My pick didn't get a single word in during the 2 hour premiere.

I guess I dodged a bullet with Stephanie G aka Gonzalez. Funny thing is she was an impressive player and I was regretting my choice of the other Stephanie, but I agree she overplayed her hand too early. I like yoga Stephanie but she backed the wrong horse so we'll see how that shakes out. The preview for next week

Seabass seems pretty cool. My players often get voted out in the first episode so this is a good start by my standards.

Sorry Goldberg74 thanks for playing.

Was this the earliest tribal mix up ever?

Having Chris as my Survivor is just prolonging the inevitable - he's toast. Not only is he a douche, but he's the worst king --- a totally clueless one who will NEVER change or even posture change; even to win $1M.

Sorry Goldberg74. I thought Morgan could have been a contender. She was a little too much of loud mouth though...

Well, both my players are on the same tribe now, but fortunately they won immunity. In the preview

at the scream masks and American Idol badges in the game graphic.

Whelp, I’m out... oh well. Good luck everyone!

And to think I had an advantage... hope the curse passes to Dom.

Well, that sucked. The team with my players blew the big lead and had to go to tribal. Neither got votes, but it wasn't a good development for Stephanie J.

Sorry lwhy? The top pick is hone, but you still have Laurel.

Sorry davidh777, but at least you still have Sea-Bass.
