Survivor 23: South Pacific - Pool

[d_phaneuf]

the seasons are filmed back to back now

this one would have been done in June/July, the one that starts in january probly finished in August

so they should have seen it

[djwazzy]

This season started filiming May 30. The finale for Redemption was on May 15. So ya, they've all seen what Rob did.

Good to see my boy Cochran survive. Now if he can man up he'll be okay next week

[The Goon]

I will miss Semhar's awesome boobs.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

I didn't think she was all that bad or annoying, but the first vote is toughest.........not long enough to get a firm grasp on everybody, their traits and their personalities. She really sucked in the challenge, that was reason enough this early on in the game. Unless they mix things up this season she will have a tough time staying on RI long enough to get back in the game.

[Komskies]

Sorry about the delayed update. I was debating whether to update or not since Semhar is technically still in the game until she is booted off Redemption Island.

What I'll do is bold the name of the current Redemption Island resident and change people's names to red once they're actually done. I have changed the OP to this chart, and will maintain it throughout the season.

I don't see how Brandon can possibly make it through this week's episode without getting outed as Russell's nephew. I also can't foresee Semhar winning her R.I. duel, or whatever type of challenge they do.

[d_phaneuf]

Brandon is the least stable person that has ever been on the show, I have no doubts that he genuinely believes Mikaela is a demon sent by the devil to tempt him

Meanwhile she barely notices him, talks to him, etc.

[CaptainCrunch]

Brandon's a complete dumb a%%.

The last thing you want to do is put her on redemption Island, she's going to mop the floor with the weak links, come back and kick the crap out of you.

The right and most annoying person ended up going away tonight. I wouldn't be surprised to see Russells nephew exiting soon.

Coach certainly blew apart his tribe tonight.

[Cheese]

I think Coach will keep Brandon around as final 3 fodder. Like his uncle no one would vote for him.

We'll get a chance to see how the first Redemption Island duel goes next week.

I couldn't believe it when Brandon raised his hand there right at the end of tribal. WTH was he thinking? He was probably 5 seconds away from making it out of there relatively unscathed. Now he has a massive target on his back.

Gotta love Rick. The dude literally says nothing. I'm not sure if he even said a word that entire episode. In those hours leading up to tribal he just sat back and watched everything implode.

Albert in general seems like a smart, level-headed guy. Assuming no astronomical blunders on his part, he's gotta be a lock to make the merge at least.

Edna, while she seems like a really nice smart person, demonstrated to us last night that she is a horrible liar. When Christine asked what they were talking about and Edna says "we were talking about voting Sophie", while Sophie was part of the conversation. Yeah, she panicked and did a terrible job of lying.

[d_phaneuf]

ya I am very happy with my Albert pick, Cochran not so much

[CaptainCrunch]

I feel sorry for you betters. The one thing that you can always count on through all the seasons, well for the most part, is the winner is usually the guy that creates a stable alliance in his own tribe right from the start and controls it, and is smart enough to make it eat itself at the end of the game.

I don't see any of that happening in the first two episodes. What might make this season different is that there's no one thats very smart in this game with enough charisma to take control early.

And you almost have to do that.

I mean in terms of the players that I would want with me in the final three. Russells nephew, Cochrane or Edna.

[GreenLantern]

Coach has impressed me so far.. but I still think he is dumb for trusting Brandon.

I would have spread that info like wild fire. If I was Coach it would have clicked in my head, him showing me his Tattoo to get my "trust" is just the same as Russell showing people the idol to get their trust. Then launch a back stabbing campaign off that platform of trust.

From our view point we can see that Brandon is actually a good guy, or is TRYING to be a good guy... but there should be red flags everywhere for Coach.

[trackercowe]

I wish they would get rid of the hidden immunity idol entirely. Just not a fan of it anymore.

[CaptainCrunch]

replace it with a flintlock pistol with one ball

[Cheese]

Checked Uncle Russell's tweets from last night...( he is so full of #####e)

I'm hoping this week somebody starts playing this game strategically, but my hopes aren't high.

russellhantz7 Russell Hantz

Redemtion Island: THAT PLACE SUCKSSSSS!!!!!

russellhantz7 Russell Hantz

Chochoran: You're opening a coconut by yourself? Wow! Do you need your mama for everything you do?

russellhantz7 Russell Hantz @KarieRamon If Ozzy was really a Russell Hantz, he'd have two more idols to go

russellhantz7 Russell Hantz

Before he left, I told him NOT to say who he was until late in the game. I aint helping him no more.

russellhantz7 Russell Hantz

Brandon, you're supposed to seduce them. Aint you learned that from uncle Russell?

russellhantz7 Russell Hantz

Screw the bed. Give them a tarp!

russellhantz7 Russell Hantz @KristaKlumpp I would have kept Mikayla cause she would have went all the way with me...

russellhantz7 Russell Hantz

Bad bad move. That's why he's not Russell Hantz Jr. #Brandon #Survivor

russellhantz7 Russell Hantz

Hey Brandon, whenever I said someone was going home, they went home

[hmmhmmcamo]

well played detective, well played...

[Cheese]

so Papa Bear gets booted to redemption, should be easy for him to survive against weaker opponents you would think.
Meanwhile Brandon Hantz is still a goofball....he might be the strangest contestant ever.

[CaptainCrunch]

Nope, the guy in the first season who talked into the coconut like it was a cellphone.

And the doctor who messed up the game stupidly by following an alphabet voting system.

Don't forget Yao Man and his hidden immunity idol victory dance. Best dance ever.
