If there's one T.V. guilty pleasure that I have, it's Survivor, arguably the best reality show of all. The new series debuts tonight today on CBS at 8 et, and it's supposed to be the most brutal one yet. The 16 castaways will be stranded deep in the rainforests in the ruins of an ancient civilization and be left there for about a month. There'll be a tough 11-mile walk to start off the show tonight, and Mayan-inspired challenges throughout the series. There's also talk about two former Survivors returning to play some sort of role. Nobody knows who they are yet (and if you know, don't spoil it here please. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ) Anyway, I'm ready for it and will be watching the entire season, so if there's anybody who likes it too, this is the place to talk about it. Cheers.

Phil How long do you think you'd survive before they voted you out or would you make it all of the way? ;D Tsel ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I would be the ULTIMATE SURVIVOR !!! ;D
Actually, I probably wouldn't make it very far. There was a deaf girl on the show once, for the Amazon one I think, and she had trouble talking to the others. She still made it a long way, but in a game where dealing with people is the most important thing, it's a pretty bad disadvantage to be deaf.
I'd have to be a pretty quiet one ( haha ) and I don't know if I could stand it.

Wow, awesome show and start to the series. Looked like it really was brutal - four guys throwing up after that 11-mile hike, one guy looked on the verge of having a seizure, and one guy's shoulders got hit by a thorny branch that nearly knocked him out, and an old man tore his bicep. Funny thing was, this was the tribe with the nurse on it, so she isn't going to be voted out anytime soon!
I was really glad to see Stephanie from Survivor: Palau back, but didn't care much for Bobby Jon. He was a hard worker but I didn't think he did anything significant for the tribe. I do like Stephanie though but I'm afraid she is just headed for another disappointment this season, but she does deserve another chance seeing that she was stuck on possibly the worst tribe in the history of Survivor the last time around, and she was definitely their best player. Good move by the producers of Survivor.
It'll be an interesting season.

I agree about Bobby Jon. All he was was a camp work horse last season. He didn't contribute anything to winning any of the competitions. I bet he would have been the one voted out if that one guy didn't injure his arm like he did. I hope Steph can make it, but I suspect they'll vote her off when they do have to vote. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) Tsel ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

I agree, I think Bobby Jon would have been gone, either him or that guy who was hit by the thorns. Blake, I think. ( Don't know all their names yet. ) But I think they made the right move to vote Jim off. What can he do with one of his arms in a sling?
It looks as though next week the hurting just keeps on going for the guys on that tribe. I'm kind of amazed how resistant the girls have been compared to the guys.

I'm kind of amazed how resistant the girls have been compared to the guys. I sort of suspect, since the teams were already selected, that group of guys partied it up big time, by drinking vast quantities of the Nectar of the Gods, and didn’t drink any water afterward until the game start.
