Survivor Heroes vs. Villains

What the hell at the preview for next week?

Sorry kidglove for thinking you were wrong. As an aussie not wanting to have to wait til episodes come on air here in 3-4 weeks, I only got to saw it when it came online. It's really irked me they know. HOW?

Shit...I missed the first episode.  Is there a way to watch episodes online LEGALLY?

I can't stand any of the villians, but I guess that's the point. I love how Boston Rob has gotten fat and has man boobs.
 
Edit: Actually, I do like Russell from last season.

Either we are misinformed about the filming timeline, or CBS showed this cast Russell's season right before they played. They could have done it before the general public even got to see it. And I guess sworn them to secrecy, which isn't a problem for them. It would keep all things fair.

Wasn't there a Survivor employee that used to post here? I don't remember who. Maybe this could be cleared up.

The fact of the matter is that the people on the show aren't dumb.  The fact that they put Russell on tells the other contestants, who have NOT seen his show, that he must have been a very good player and done something worthy of returning him right away to the Heros vs. Villians series.  Think about it.

Season 20 was shot 3 weeks after 19, and the cast was not informed about Russell. The only clue they got was from Probst when they landed on the beach, and he said something like the most notorious player ever.

Yes, but the name of it escapes me at the moment.  It's not Hulu.  It's TVset.com or watchtv.com or something really bland like that, and CBS is showing their eps there the same way NBC is showing theirs on Hulu.

Anyone else now concerned as to why Russell was so down at Samoa finale? (I mean, other than the fact he lost to a stupid blonde bitch, he was upset before the vote had even started)

I'm now convinced he'll be the last to get voted off before jury (for smashing the shit out of them reasons) or he'll get evac'd out for medical reasons, because he's so devastated but yet Jeff still will say he played an amazing game.

Anyone else agree with that theory?

Parvati spoke like she knew about his game and even said it's making a deal with the devil, but she'd rather the devil be on her side.


Last edit:

I think Russell is actually going to hold to Danielle and Parvati. He'll need them to win a jury if he plays a game like Samoa assuming my theory is wrong.

Sorry to see Sugar leave so early, but she had no one on that tribe to latch on to so early in the game (and she seemed defeated right off the helicopter), but running to the goal topless and flipping Sandra off was beautiful.

Almost got my wish to see Rupert have to leave on the first episode. Sigh. So close. But maybe we'll get rid of Raaaaaahb soon enough.

The full episode is available on the Survivor page at cbs.com

To all the Survivor fans make sure you read Jeff Probst and Dalton's blogs about the show each week.  They also feature deleted scenes, comments from Jeff after tribal council and video posts from the Survivors themselves.

Jeff's blog - Jeff Probst's weekly Survivor blog

Dalton's blog - Dalton's weekly Survivor blog

Some interesting facts from this week's blogs:

The initial reward challenge was actually played to 5 points, not just to the 3 we saw. There were several more matches than what was aired - Heroes reached 4-0 before Villains finally won some points.

Also some creative editing regarding Stephanie's shoulder... she hurt it in an earlier match up that was not aired; the round we saw her in was a later round.  Both rounds featured the same contestants squaring off.

no eliza ?

Eliza would have been awesome.  But I don't think she was as popular a character or someone who could really be categorized as a hero or villain.  There's a few changes I'd like to make to the cast but most of my favourites are in there, so no point in complaining.  I think that the villains tribe is going to be really entertaining every week.  Between Sandra, Tyson and Courtney, there's going to be a lot of really nice one-liners.

Seriously, dude?

Good episode. Damn sad to see Steph go (even worse was that my two faves, Steph and Amanda were the ones fighting it out), but I think Cirie made the right decision for her. JT didn't. But... why wasn't Rupert's name even brought up? Ugh. He can go and take his broken toe and sense of entitlement with him anytime now.

GREAT episode last night! Boston Rob rocks! The dude does it all PLUS he married a millionairess! James was RIDICULOUS and I think Tom & Colby are gonna eat him for lunch!

Yeah Rupert is getting a bit annoying and most likely won't be around for much longer. I didn't watch his original season so I wasn't in on the whole 'Rupert is the best' thing that got started. So far I haven't seen him do anything to warrant his reputation or him being there. I would have sided with the James alliance side as well. Just wouldn't have trusted Stephanie and Co. The fact of the matter is unless the Heros get beeter at puzzles or Boston Rob's brain stops working the Heros may continue to fall one at a time. It's entertaining for sure.

James is my new hero. Stephenie has this bullshit ego from nowhere that she doesn't deserve at all.
Amanda needs to wear glasses more often. Her babe factor just multiples by over 9000 when she wears them.
JT is a stud.

And that's the 411 for Heroes v Villains.

I half expect B Rob to be the first villain gone. If Randy keeps his mouth shut he's a good chance of winning.

Haha Grave Digger James is indeed a stud.  He'll go far.

Stephenie, to be fair, was actually really strong in her second season in Guatemala.  I can't recall for certain but I think she made the final three.  But James got it right: Steph is puzzle-solving KRYPTONITE.  The Heroes were not going to win a single challenge with her in action.  No chance.  Rupert and his broken toe could have put them in a better position.

Amanda... wow I heart her.  (wife not looking.)  Because nerd girls are AWESOME.  I hope I get to watch her talk herself out of another million dollars.

JT... is not long for this game.  I dig the guy but I think the JT-Tom-Colby alliance is in trouble.  Colby is in good enough with the women to survive but enh.  They were right about one thing: Cirie and whatsername are now doomed.  This was Cirie's weakness in earlier seasons too... she never understands when she has to make a move.  She just failed to make a move that she had to make, and she's gonna pay for it sometime soon.  Possibly next week!

You know as well as I do that Randy won't keep his mouth shut! haha.  He is dead money.  Which is a shame because I find him very entertaining.

My picks remain as I stated earlier... I predict both villains in the final two (or all villains in the final however many).

Shoot, Rob gets cooler every time he plays this game.  That was  a great episode but I hate to see Stephenie go.  She was one of my favourite ones, I tell ya.  Plus I just feel like we've seen enough of Amanda, James and Cirie and I'd rather have them booted early.

I guess i haven't seen enough seasons because i only know about half of each tribe.  I really liked Rupert on previous seasons but damn, the guy's cranky as shit!  Sucks that his toe's broken but it seems like all he does is limp around camp and sulk.  He'll be voted out quick if he doesn't heal up and start helping the heroes win some challenges.

I had the opposite reaction to boston rob.  Hated the dude on All Stars but he's winning me over on this season.  He's kicking ass through sheer force of will.  Seeing him lift that puzzle block on his back pretty much by himself was a great tv moment.

Ugh. Randy was by far sadly the smartest player this season. He's 100% right and I'm starting to think Amanda already has the million dollars.

Russell brought his ego, and not his game play, and I think this is why I don't like him this season. The only moment this season I've felt I've liked him was when he hid the machete. The game has never had a manipulator. If Parvati isn't the next villain to go, Amanda will win the million.

Enough said.

I love Russell, but I just don't have a good feeling about him this season.

I HATE Parvati, but for some reason, I absolutely love her. Yep. Doesn't make sense, but that's the only way I can explain how I feel about her. 

And I with you, Hwangman, about Rob. I always thought he was a jerk, but I'm lovin him this season.

James is an ass, but I think he's hilarious.

Exactly. At least last season he had a plan and instituted it. I liked the fact he made a move and hid the machette and that'd be great if he would hide Rob's hat before he were sent home. I'm not to sure about how the clip for next week was edited trying to lead us to believe he will be next to go. I doubt it.
 
I liked seeing the Heros unleash on the Villans, it's been clear in every challenge that they are physically dominant, I guess they were fortunate there was no puzzle attached to that challenge. Neat season and cast of characters so it keeps it entertaining.

Holy shit.

How. Good. Was. That.

<3 JT. Cirie was so overrated and always carried to the final 4 like a Natalie should have.

I thouroughly enjoyed that blindside last night

Mighty, mighty pissed off that Steph was voted out so early.

I think Russell is THE best player Survivor has ever seen, however I think he has his work cut out for him this time around. I really hope he makes it all the way this time. I think his search for the hidden idol may be his undoing.

Glad to see Cirie go. Good blind side.

Watch and learn.  Boston Rob is gonna own everyone.  You'll see.

Yea, says the guy from Boston.

Unfortunately it looks like Russell will be gone soon, so I'll most likely end up rooting for Rob the rest of the way.

It's about time Cirie was outed early. She was hardly a hero imho. 

Russell Is retarded. He's not going far this time. Should crush his ego. To bad because he's entertaining.

Rob's talk with Coach was hilarious! And does Tyson have a little bit of humanity in him? He sort of wasn't sarcastic for a moment. His talk with Coach was cool too. "Stop telling your stories, they mock you. And do your Tai Chi in private." LOL LOL

Don't count Russell out just yet.  But I really think Bob is gonna be the winner.  The thing with Bob is he kind of comes off as a dopey goofball, but he's cunning.  Russell is too cocky. 

For as good a game as Russel played in his innagural season he is having a horrid sophomore effort! At least wait until night or a less obvious time to search for that idol. He's not 'on his game' so to speak but as has been mentioned Boston Rob is. I don't think there is any question who is running that tribe, if they were smart or ambitious the first chance to vote him off they should. That blind side was terrific for the Heros. As much as I didn't like Cirie she did have her own niche as to how she played the game and it was certainly a good move to get her out early and not let her get a firm grip on people. Interesting season for sure!

Still hard to believe Colby let Tyson get that basket before him. I did not watch the season that Colby was on but by all accounts he was supposed to be a stud player, haven't seen anything to warrant that praise as of yet but he is a heck of a nice guy.

my god parvati is super hot!!! Love that ass on her just saying!

"I'm gonna go for a walk..."

I literally facepalmed.

WORST SURVIVOR PARTICIPANT IN HISTORY!!!!!!!! Good riddance...again!

I always thought that Cirie was really crafty.  I think they were crazy to even keep her around this long.  Russell's move might have seemed ridiculous, but if he finds the idol and then shows it to parvati, danielle and maybe someone else, he could really influence some action.

I think Russell was too eager to go looking for the imunity idol last night, and the rest of the tribe will be watching him now, or targeting him at tribal

Voting Cirie out was the best move the heroes have made...

she is to them what Parvati is to the villains...Tom and Colb's plan sounded too far-fetched to me but they pulled it off...

It may not be next week...but I think Russell is going home soon...he hasn't bonded with his tribe and that is hurting him big time!

This will play out in Eps.7
