Wow! The new survivor got off to a great start! I love, love, love the theme this season! Arrrggghhh! Aye, Aye, Capitan Cook! I have to say I was concerned about the division of teams along racial lines but I think I will be very interesting to see how people bond as they merge. Will there be conflict (duh!) when it's time to cut ties with their own racial group in order to re-align and further themselves in the game. I'm curious who's gonna break first. Hmmmm. Anyway, back to the first episode......so I always admire the pirate in people when they take advantage to get ahead in this game (the chicken) and I think it's definitely OK to do so in this case since Probst said take what ever you can grab and jump. I thought that sending that guy to Exile Island just for that reason shows a serious lack of understand of just what it takes to win this game. I'm not saying be a total jerk but within the bounds of the rules and human decency it's OK to take the advantage. And really, I celebrated when they voted out Seku. He was a macho jerk. He didn't work well with his tribe and that whole thing about choosing the Exile Island guy with out a tribe consensus was thoughtless. He totally talked down to the women in his tribe and the fact that he thought he somehow led them successfully during the time he was there was completely laughable. He slowed them down and they are better off without him. OK now to the dude on Exile Island. Talk about miserable! But you think he would have at least dug a pit in the sand to stay warm or lit a fire? No he just lays on the hard wood of the shipwreck and shivers. Perhaps it was just for dramatic effect. However, I doubt it. Now that challenge was very cool yet complex, as always! I was on the edge of my sofa! Way to go Asians! P.S. The hippie white chick that let the chickens escape, total idiot. I don't know that I could have forgiven her that easily. But, it's early and they're not all that hungry yet. Well, next week should be just as juicy. See you at tribal counsel.
