Part of their Idols "creed" was that they would not play the game or be eligible to win the prize money.

(I tend to let things like BB, TAR, and Survivor pile up on my DVR because I find it easier to follow them when I know who is and isn't going to be a major player. I tend to half-ass my way through them until past the midpoint or later, then go back and binge when the cast is smaller.)

Felt kinda bad for Poe Dameron going out first after him talking about all his jobs and stuff, but he was overplaying as someone else said.
This is the first season that I am not feeling the cast at all. No idea who to root for...maybe the hockey guy.

Still haven't watched the episode, so I missed that.

Re: Survivor Season 39 Full Cast Revealed
I know its been said MANY times before but if this show hasn't 'jumped the shark' already it definitely has with this season!
Everytime they show those giant Bawsten Rob and Sandra heads on the beach I cringe. What were they thinking?!?
The whole schtick of these two 'experts' giving advice on how to win is already tired. But they are stuck with it for another 12 episodes now.
When are the producers going to learn? You don't have to change the formula up every season by messing with the game rules, adding immunity idols, exile islands, and other stupid gimmicks.
What matters is the casting!!!! We watch these shows to see how these people survive. Keep finding interesting characters we want to watch and we will. We don't need stupid wooden heads on a beach! Ugh!

Don't give a shit about a single person and not only that but most of them are already grating. I really don't get it. How hard is it to cast a dozen interesting people and a couple hotties out of the tens of thousands who apply every season? Are there just too many reality shows now? This is a growing trend across multiple shows. Maybe they think people want to see everyman/woman types so they're deliberately casting average stiffs.

Re: Survivor Season 39 Full Cast Revealed
I was thinking the same thing as I was watching tonight: What a dull cast. I'm not necessarily looking for over-the-top personalities or antics, but man you have to give me something to work with. Two full episodes in and I'm having a really tough time coming up with any interest in this season.

And what happened to waiting for the contestant to try and "negotiate" a better offer? She hardly had a chance to consider the first one before they threw a better one her way.

I was sick of Sandra and Boston Rob before this, but now I really can't stand them. And they're coming back again next season. Argh!

They are? Is Probst going to wind up ruining the show that made him rich (now that he has more control)? Wouldn't that be ironic?
This season is pretty lame so far. I agree it's pretty poorly cast with contestants. I don't know if I'd still be watching if I weren't in the DVD Talk contest.

All Winners is a decent premise... but they need more polarizing people if they want to keep the show fun. Having the same "generic" group doesn't make for great theater. The only "crazy" one appears to be Noura and she's not really that bad. Bring back Russell!!

No thank you. He'll just be a bitch boy again when he loses and give out detailed spoilers so they are all over the internet. I guess the good thing is when I was spoiled about the final three (and winner) about three episodes into HvV, I stopped watching.

I do not mind the Rob and Sandra thing, at least not yet. I am intrigued as to how the two who have been so far are playing it off and curious to see if that will bite them in the ass later. I am not sure what their strategy is by completely lying. You do not have to say everything that went down, but I see no benefit in hiding the fact that Rob and Sandra are there. Just tell everyone they were there, they taught you how to build a fire, and move on.

Re: Survivor Season 39 Full Cast Revealed
Pass. If they were so obnoxious or clueless that they went out first, why would I want a whole season of that?

I've watched this show since season one and this is the first time I've bailed on it without extenuating circumstances like moving cross-country and having newborns. Just boring from top to bottom and doesn't even have the decency to be bad enough for hate watching.

Re: Survivor Season 39 Full Cast Revealed
So they're competing in that season? That will be a little better, I guess. Depends on who else is along for the ride. I really can't stand Sandra. Boston Rob is a little more tolerable - primarily because I know so many guys exactly like him.

Re: Survivor Season 39 Full Cast Revealed
That was the original intent of the series - a bunch of different environments - but I think Probst mentioned very early on in the run that they quickly discovered the show doesn't work very well away from a beach, so they've pretty much decided it's always going to be in that kind of location from now on.

Re: Survivor Season 39 Full Cast Revealed
Going home with an unused immunity idol. It would be one thing to risk holding onto it if it was usable until late in the game like the hidden ones are, but not playing it when it is only good for the next two is a bad call. Better to ensure yourself a few more days and see what happens.

Re: Survivor Season 39 Full Cast Revealed
Some unusual editing choices in this episode. The scene with Karishma cutting her hand seemed "off". She cuts her hand and then it gets worse and she's crumpled over and the tribe is either ignoring her or giving her the side-eye. And then in her narration she lifts up her hand, now professionally bandaged by the Med Team. It seems like some information was left out to paint a particular picture (or maybe not). Also, it seems odd that they ignored Vince's return from the island and what happened thereafter.
