Survivor 11 - Guatemala - The Maya Empire

Returning players?

Huh.

Maybe Stephanie, or something?

(Off to figure out who Gary Hogeboom is...)

Oh, the quarterback!

Interesting.

for some reason this excites me - LOL

If Rob and Amber are the returning players, they will be voted out at the first opportunity. No sane player is going to allow those two to steal the spotlight and grab the money--AGAIN.

Who were America's favorite players from the past seasons? Ruben, probably . . . and Colby . . . . who else?

Stephanie!

And maybe Dolphin boy... what was his name?

Ian?

That's the one!

They'd make sense. Audience favorites who wuz robbed.

Has anyone every watch the timing on these as to when they were actually produced and then shown?

When I was tracking down Hogeboom, found this:



So that would seem to indicate that was the period in which it was filmed (June --> August of this year).

Just a few more hours - I think I'll try and record the season on DVD - well see how hard that turns out to be.

Someone please tell Probst when old men dye their hair (badly) it doesn't make them look any younger, in fact it makes them look even older. I do like his fancy new torch snuffer-outer though.

It looks like I won't be liking Brandon this whole season. If he's an ass around the tribe like he is during the interviews he shouldn't be around very long.

I don't mind the Steph and Bobby Jon twist as I don't seem them being around very long.

I've got a feeling the fat guy has anger management/impulse control issues. The way he overreacted and took personal Peachy's question at TC makes me think we will see some future dramatics from him.

All in all it looks good, I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.

I thought Probst looked like a member of Hair Club for Men.

Too early for me to remember anyone's name, so I'll hold off on making predictions.

37 minutes and counting

I wonder if they asked Ian and he turned them down? Seems to make more sense than Bobby Jon.

But Steph is obvious.

I have mixed feelings about her on this one. I think she's gutsy and has a ton of heart etc., but part of the reason they were such losers last season was because none of 'em were that smart. Steph is kind of a jock, with both the positive and negative connotations.

It was fun to see her finally win immunity tho. (I guess she did one other time, the fire challenge against Bobby Jon.)

Meanwhile, man, it was painful to watch those poor crampy retchy guys. I like the nurse (Margaret?)

No predictions as of yet.

Oh, what did Jim's wife say at the end? They didn't caption that part. That he's fine now, or something? (Sure hope it wasn't that he's died...!)

I can't recall exactly, but something along the lines of she's proud of him and looking forward to having him back home. Could be something new Survivor is introducing, the cast off family member snippet.

It was nice to see them all getting along, working together and being nice, you know, before all the back stabbing and ugliness starts. This is how I would like to remember them, although knowing how the past seasons have gone I don't expect I'll be able to.

Thanks, RfromP!

Mrs Husker just tells me that I'm Blake in the pool.

ouch that sucks - as I watch him puke from getting a thorn in his arm.

YW, my pleasure.
