Pretty sure it's the reaction to Jeff telling them that Marcus got voted out at the last tribal. I can't remember if it's Marcus for sure, though.

Edit: Yeah, it was Marcus.

He was gone first. There could have been more goodness out of that... at least more interesting than Ashley. A Boobs McGee that is sickly during the first episode and unpleasant for no reason the second.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

She was bad but I really wanted to see how she would have held up in the long term. Would she have bested comps or been worn down brutally by starvation? I was disappointed she went so early over a short illness and a personality clash with someone who I think pissed everyone else off going farther. I thought there was entertainment potential there one way or another.

All I remember about Chicken is that he was almost belligerently passive. Like he was so determined not to voice an opinion that could bite him in the rear end that he instead got in fights or got pissy about simply being asked his opinions. It was bizarre and I remember just wanting him gone because if I was stuck there with him he would have pissed me off to no end.

Maybe someday when Survivor is in it's death throes we can get an all WWE season with a bunch of D-list wrestlers. They could rehire people like Carlito, JTG, Drew McIntyre and others for the show.

An underrated part of that .gif is that Sugar has no reason to be having such a dismayed reaction to Marcus being voted out. I don't think they were aligned ever, and they were on different tribes for longer than they were on the same tribe.

Also, the level of despair and then pain in Charlie's eyes

I saw that gif long before I ever watched Gabon and I remember thinking it looked like someone got severely injured, based more on Sugar's reaction than Corinne's, and Matty thought it was just spectacular.

Some first impressions just based on the OP.

Could they get any more generic blonde women on the show at one time?

I've never seen the Amazing Race, but just reading the little blurbs makes me want to see the twins suffer...a lot.

I really want to believe that the pet peeve of Keith, the fire chief, means that he doesn't like the loafers as in shoes. I don't know why, but it amuses me.

Of the guy brothers, Drew is going to be a dick, Alec might not be.

Wal, why would anyone want to be like Monica? Your husband might be alright though.

The cheerleading mom and daughter might be ok, but they also might be truly horrible.

The pet peeves of the gay guys just bother me and reek of a privileged persons problems. Also, their "I'm not like anyone else" bits just rub me the wrong way.

Really Jaclyn, your pet peeve is 'waiting in line'? Are you just too pretty to do it? You're bf might not be so bad though.

The only people who actually seem somewhat real are the farmer and his hot daughter and the firefighting dad and son, although the son might end up being a tool.

And finally: gently caress JOHN ROCKER.

Loafers (the shoes) are totally an irrational pet peeve of mine. I can't rationalize it. I just think they're going to fall off my feet so they bother me. Its crazy but now I'm just going to root for that guy for the hell of it.

It was Shambo. See also: peanut butter on a Snickers bar.

I could see being annoyed by them based on the racing portions, but I liked them in the confessional segments in that video, which seems to be more in line with what they'd be like on Survivor.

I can't believe it took maybe CBS's most bizarre stunt casting ever to get the first South Asian contestants on the show

Yeah this season is all-in stunt casting, stunt gameplay (Blood vs Water) and stunt gimmick (exile island).
Seems like it will be more like Big Brother On A Beach; and the survivor aspects have become so mundane they're hardly even a factor any more.

Also gently caress John Rocker.

They had an amazing season last season, and the only reason it was short of the all-time greats was because of the stupid gimmick (all powerful immunity idol). So why the hell are they so quick to jump back to stupid gimmicks and stunt casting?

Eh. The Tyler Perry Idol wasn't that interesting in it's intended use. It didn't get used. No clues were given to it. It caused people to go on a wacky idol hunt in one episode.

The only thing time it was significant at all is getting Tony to lie about it being able to be used at Final 4. That was entertaining. It can hardly be said to have hindered the season other than loving goons getting all panicky before the game.

It didn't need to be used. It's power lay in not using it, in the uncertainty of their being a special idol that no one knew the additional powers of.

It did make a huge difference. In the alternate universe where Tony only has the regular Idol at Final 6, he almost certainly plays it at that Tribal Council because he was a paranoid mess (that was the Tribal where Kass and Woo were trolling Tony trying to flush the idol). Then Final 5 is completely different, since you basically had Kass and Woo in open mutiny against Tony and Trish, and if they no longer think Tony has an idol they'd probably target him instead of Trish.

I'd say in this "alternate universe" Tony has another HII he can play at f5 because he won somekind of game advantage in the survivor auction. Or he could have found the HII again after he played it at f6.

Willie Hantz isn't even close. We're talking about one of the biggest racist shitheads in all of professional sports. There isn't anybody they've ever had on Survivor or Big Brother on that level of awful.

Shy of Big Brother casting a card carrying Klansman or Mel Gibson next year it's unlikely either show will ever top casting John Rocker. Welcome to the bottom of the barrel folks.
