Survivor: Episode 1

Okay, so what did ya'll think of tonight's 2 hour show? I thought it was really good, BUT...really slow moving. I don't know, we'll have to see what the rest of the season is like before making a good judgment call.

Okay, so about tonight's episode:

The cast introduced themselves 1 by 1. The cast looks freakin GREAT!!! A very nice & diverse cast, reminds me of the type of great casts from back in the first few years of Survivor. :)

After their intro's, the picked teams and then they went straight into their 1st challenge.

Here are the tribes:


(By the way, "Fang" is pronounced like "Fohng".)

The challenge was to run a really long distance and climb up a huge hill (in which I totally would have had a fat-attack!! lol) ;-P

Winning Team of 1st Challenge:


Kota


They won some corn, beans & rice.

Gillian was slow moving up the hill, and so was Crystal, which surprised me given that she's been in the Olympics.

Matty: "Gillian is gonna be a huge load to carry [in the game]."

Back at camp, Gillian was telling her team how good they were and just keeping everything on a positive note. Well, that kinda backfired on her because Randy thought she was more annoying than "positive".

Charlie & Marcus formed the very first alliance of the season: "The Large Onion Alliance". Marcus said that he looks at his alliance like a big onion and that they have to keep adding "layers" (tribe members) to their alliance (or onion, if you will.) But the "core" of the onion..er..alliance...is Marcus & Charlie.

Did ya get all of that? Good. Moving on...

Randy busted his head open when he walked into a branch on their hut and medical aid had to come in to stitch him up and wrap a big bandage around his head.

The next morning, Michelle was complaining about how cold she was and that the night was really cold. This annoyed alot of her tribe members...which are "stupid dorks" according to Michelle.

Challenge #2:
6 members tied together race through leech infested waters, then over/under a series of walls & posts. They have to dig up 3 bags of puzzle pieces, solve puzzles. First tribe to do the puzzle, wins immunity & fire (in the form of flint). Losers will go to tribal and someone will be voted out.

Challenge starts, Kota finds all 3 bags first. Fang looked like they gave up. Gillian kept yelling at them to "keep going" and to stay positive, but they
gave up.

Winning Team:


Kota


Randy didn't want Gillian around anymore and started to "plant the seed" of getting rid of her. Michelle & Ken also wanted Gillian out. So at this point, it looked as if Gillian was gonna go home.

Tribal:
At tribal, Michelle was bitching about GC being one of the main reasons they lost because he took a break. GC apologized and Michelle got catty, and everybody
ganged up on Michelle and started an argument.

First Survivor Eliminated:

Michelle


Jeff asked who the leader was in FANG and they said "nobody" and somehow it got turned into everybody voting for GC to be the leader, against GC's wishes.

Jeff gave them flint to take back to camp.

The next day, there was a little bit of friction between Randy & GC when GC asked Randy if he would could take over & get the water to boil. Randy thinks that GC is too young to be the tribe leader and he'll let GC crash & burn for other to see it.

Marcus & Charlie added "layers to their onion" (so to speak) and formed the alliance of:

Corrine/Jacque/Charlie/Marcus


Early the next morning, GC started a fire and was doing some laundry when it was still dark out (super early in the morning). Everybody else, one by one,
woke up. Gillian was not happy and an argument started between her and GC. This is when GC quit his job as a leader.

GC: "I don't wanna be ya'lls leader and I'm going to be the leader just because you guys want me to be. Hell, I'm younger than all ya'll!"

Challenge #3:
For immunity & reward (fishing supplies).

Winning Team:


Kota


They also got to send 1 of the other tribes members to exile island and Dan was the one they picked. Dan went and didn't find the hidden idol.

Even though Fang lost and didn't get to receive any fishing supplies, they were still able to make a fishing pole and snag up 5 (small) fish.

Tribal:
2nd person to leave Survivor:


Gillian
