So, the CBS website has a show-length preview special up. It's mostly your blech survivor introductions with Jeff injecting pointless commentary, but there happened to be something interesting!!
[/spoiler]
The CBS preview is okay but Corinne's "brutal" pre-game analysis of the cast on RHAP is a lot more fun.

That was really entertaining. I'd listen to more survivor podcasts if she was on them.

Truthiness!
So wait. The idiot idol can totally be flushed with a vote split, right? It's trickier, especially if the non-easter-egg winners don't know about the fourth idol. You'd need the person holding it to be really screwed in the numbers, but if the cast knows it's a Yul idol, I don't think it would be absurd for people to pull a temporary flip to get rid of the drat thing.

Also! If anybody finds out, it's a huge loving target. If the holder is sitting pretty in a majority alliance, it could easily go unused like Yul's. But if a minority alliance gets it, they can just use it for whoever was just sent home to knock out majority person of their choice, can't they? In that case it's like a normal idol, just easier to use.

Survivors these days are loving cutthroat, if not clever. They wouldn't tolerate the superidol being around if they find out it exists.

And then the producers will plant another one. :cry:

Just did our random draw for the work pool we have every season, and I got Jeremiah. He doesn't stand out to me, which actually could be a good thing.

So Survivor is being preempted for basketball today and the premiere is airing at 1:30 AM.

The basketball team playing is my alma mater and I'm regularly a season ticket owner and we are playing our mortal rival and I am STILL pissed off that I can't watch Survivor as it airs.

I'm a True Fan of Survivor.

My partners dad is visiting so I probably won't be able to watch live either. I blame Colton somehow. :argh:

Are there any ways to watch same day on the computer? AKA amazon/itunes or the like? Or are they all delayed a day? Last season I was stuck watching a day behind and I just want to double check that I'm not missing something obvious.

Depending on how late you're willing to stay awake, the CBS website is pretty good at putting them up not ling after it finishes airing on the west coast

Carlton Banks posted:

Haha, why would they think that is a good idea?

Because the HII was such a non-thing last season, with everyone burning the clues.


I'm barely a fan of baseball, I watch parts of a few games a year and occasionally check standings, but I recognized Samson. With the change to Miami from Florida, new ugly stadium and uglier uniforms, destroying his team, etc. he's come up a lot more in news bits than the average owner/GM/type person.

Yeah I mentioned it to a friend who said the same thing, so I guess it makes sense now (I didn't get to watch much last season, so I wasn't aware of what happened with the HII)

With an average of 130, you know someone has a pretty average score in there.

It makes good TV, and it keeps the post-merge game unpredictable - instead of getting a straight pagonging 90% of the tribe, the HII can be used as a wedge to give the minority a chance.
