Survivor: Panama starts tonight

4 teams, 1 person banished to different Island each episode.

 

not a major spoiler at all but just in case.....

 

 

Catch is, while there, they can hunt for the special immunity idol. And, this year, if you find the idol, you don't have to declare you have it before the vote. You can use it after the vote is cast and the person with 2nd most votes would go instead.

 

 

It will definitely add some new twists.

So the 4 people per team thing has already brought out differences. On larger teams it's way easier to simply pick a misfit, or a weak-link...but with that few people, they felt threatened and took out the strongest player. It's too bad because she was the most interesting one on that team.

 

It will be interesting to see if these smaller teams keep reacting the same way.

I was bored the last season, but last night really made me excited by Survivor again. I love the whole Exile Island idea, it will be really great to see how well it plays out.

 

Currently pulling for the older men team, as I can't wait to see the smoker go off. And the karate guy is just funny to watch him swing the blade.

I was disappointed that they merged into two tribes already. I would have liked to see a few more weeks of 4 tribes.

 

CancerMan cracks me up. I hope he stays around or else it might get too boring. If he smokes 3 packs a day, that's like one cigarette every 15 minutes, right?

That was the best immunity challenge in a long time. It almost turned into UFC-lite there for a minute.

 

And the end, when dude just kinda non-chalantly dragged the girl over to his base and then took the bag away, was hysterical. We watched it 4 times just to make sure we could believe our eyes.

Invincibility's a tough call. At this point La Mina has only 5 members while Casaya has 7. Unless they can pull of immunity in the next two challenges, La Mina won't have the numbers going in to the merge. Assuming Casaya does, they'd be foolish not to go after Terry. He'd use the idol at that point to save himself, but there would still be 4 or 5 tribal councils for the others to vote him out. He can't win immunity each time, can he? And wouldn't the two younger guys see him as enough of a threat to break their alliance?

 

The biggest unknown that make it hard to predict the outcome is who would have the second highest number of votes after Terry and be ousted at the tribal council after the merge.

My wife and I managed to watch every episode this season (I love you, DVR) and this continues to be one of only about 3 shows we regularly watch. I gotta say that Cirie really impressed me this time around, I would have loved to see her work her magic in the final 3, but it was not meant to happen. Danielle totally screwed herself and had no shot to win with either Terry or Aras, but she should be proud to make Final 2.

 

Incidentally, Shane is now my all time favorite and Courtney has the most amazing ability to move her mouth and make sounds that sound like words without actually saying anything...she should be in PR or politics.

 

I liked the hidden immunity idol and Exile Island aspect, but the show needs something new. I don't know what (I guess that's why I'm not a producer), but it's getting a bit long in the tooth. Is Jeff Probst still hosting the next one?

I agree that the show needs something new to keep it going. Since around season 2, I was hoping for a much colder climate, but the producers probably felt there was too much of a risk.

 

They can even try a gimmick Survivor, like Survivor: Amish life. When it comes down to it, the characters make or break the show, but you can only take characters so far before the viewers tune them out.

What about a Survivor with couples? I guess that would be a bit too close to the Amazing Race, but it would be absolutely sweet to see husband/wife combinations battle it out. The whole thing would probably turn into a giant "Indecent Proposal" season, but the possibilities would be pretty cool.
