Survivor Redemption Island: Season Premiere

I watched Survivor Season 1 and the most recent season. I’m going to try to recap this – it might be awkward at the beginning because there are so many contestants and it takes a while to become familiar with the names…but I’m giving it a try!

First thought: during the intro, Jeff Probst is sitting in the back of the helicopter that is open and hanging his feet out. Just chillin’ like he’s not up in the air hanging out in the butthole of a helicopter. It is making me nervous – I wonder if that was CGI.

Contestants names: Ashley, Grant, Kristina, Phillip, Natalie, Matthew, Francesca, Andrea, Mike, Stephanie, Ralph, Julie, Krista, Steve, Sarita, David. Returning contestants: Boston Rob and some guy with an ugly hat named Russell. I suppose you Survivor fans know who he is but I don’t. He’s beefy. I know Boston Rob somehow…I think because he married the another Survivor contestant and that was highly publicized.

There’s a guy in a suit and most of the girls are wearing earrings and a few have stilettos. Its like those women at the gym in full makeup on the treadmill. You know where you’re going – why aren’t you ready?

Since I saw the very first season I hate that Jeff calls the tribal rags “buffs”. Maybe I don’t like the word buff.

A new twist this season – when someone is voted off, they do not go home, they are sent to “Redemption Island” by themselves. When the next person is voted off and goes to the island, they square off in a “duel” to see who actually goes home. Sounds exactly like Real World/Road Rules Challenges.

There is a boy with long blonde hair, similar to Jud’s who won last season. They nicknamed him Fabio last season. Please don’t let them nickname this guy Fabio too. How outdated is that reference? There are lots of guys with long hair.

Jeff warns everyone that it will rain a lot in Nicaragua. I’d ask him to have that helicopter come back for me right then and there.

Jeff, stop saying Shambo. Stop saying Shambo.

The two tribes are building their shelters. On the orange tribe, Phillip is telling all the women what to do. Oh…he just screwed himself by telling the females that he’s a former federal agent and that he’s an expert at reading people and knowing if they are lying. He should have kept his mouth shut and used his skills to his advantage.

I always question people who try to make alliances on the first day. I don’t care if you worked for the CIA or you’re Miss Cleo, you do not know if you can trust someone within the first 24 hours of meeting them.

Ok, Mike, the Iraqi War Veteran on the purple tribe is wearing jeans. Seriously?

OH NO, Phillip is wearing tighty-hot-pinkies (tighty-whities that are pink). The Fabio guy (yeah, I know…I just did it) is wearing boxer briefs and another girl has boy short underwear that must’ve been up her ass because they blurred out her butt as she walked down the beach!

Wow, I hate Phillip and his pink undies. He’s incredibly condescending and conceited. Plus, he’s wearing pink undies.



First immunity challenge is an extravagant race with stairs and a pyramid. I remember the first season them pretty much just standing on logs for hours on end to see who could stay on longest. Now they have a budget and its like Double Dare.

The purple team wins the first immunity challenge. This means someone from the orange team aka the Underwear Crew will be sent to Redemption Island.

Holy shit. They just showed a snake that I was scared of even though it was on TV. If I saw that thing out there I would poop my pants on national television. I just tried to find a picture of one similar to it in Google Images (I couldn’t) but now I am going to have nightmares. Damn!

The woman with big boobs, Kristina, on the orange tribe found the immunity idol. She has told Francesca and Phillip about it. I think Kristina is digging herself in a hole up to her big boobies. 

Phillip is making more of an ass of himself at the tribal council. He can’t say Francesca…he keeps saying Franchweska and he blamed it on his dry throat that he’s getting treatment for.

He totally outed Kristina for having the immunity idol and made himself look crazy.

Holy shit. They just showed a frog that looked to be on the bucket where they deposit the votes. If I saw that thing out there I would poop my pants on national television.

Francesca has been voted out and is heading alone to Redemption Island. I’m scared for her with those snakes and frogs around.
