That was a wild first episode.

The advantage getting found day one was rad and it's cool that they require you to do riskier stuff now.
I really liked the challenge, the way it required all of them to cooperate, and especially Jeff's emphasis on how huge the cute gecko was. Dude was just enamored with LIZARD BIG. Jeff caught Soda's great lame joke too :3:. My dad was chanting for Jelinsky to break the puzzle in anger like everything else he failed at.
At tribal it was really not surprising to see Jelinsky go home. Not even for comedy value would I keep that dude. RIP the MASTER LEGEND of SURVIVING.

There is not anybody I dislike yet this season besides that weirdo who won't shut up about getting the wimmin out! Hopefully the women own his lame rear end.

Great stuff so far. Favorite cast member we met tonight? Mine is definitely Q.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
That was a really good first episode. I feel like I like 3-4 people already and I usually need half a season to warm up to a cast.

Jelinski seems pretty cool... Oh nevermind, the fucker put me in last place in the fantasy league.

Tevin, Soda, Bhanu seem like pretty decent people. Although I imagine it'd be hell sharing the camp with Soda in her full on summer camp vibes.

I really enjoyed that castaways normally try to hide that they're lawyers, but Hunter was more concerned about hiding his own camp background for fear of being made to sing

My "the purple team look like they should own at challenges" strategy for the first episode sure didn't pay off lmao

I think I would have screamed if they didn't vote Jelinsky out so I am glad they did

Stroke of luck!

Jeff was trying his hardest to swing the vote the other way but also couldn’t resist dunking on Jelinsky either

I think this is the only time, other than Sean last season, where a man has been voted out so early in the new era.

What the gently caress is he thinking? I guess several and seven share the first four letters, but I thought everyone understood that couple is 2, a few is 3, and several is more than 3 - the minimum being 4.

It was incredible. His full denial at constantly giving up was mind blowing too. I'm honestly surprised nobody called him out for giving up on the puzzle in the challenge too.

He's insisting in exit interviews that Q brought up the idea of quitting to pin it on him and that they took him out because he was too big of a threat.

i paused after that and forgot and just started it up again and now he's a reward hog who is acting like h is the only one playing the game.... after literally giving up 30 minutes in to a critically important first trial while still relatively full and energized, because he never did 30 minutes of physical activity in his life before.

edit: and as i post he immediately gives up on playing hard by trying to be tricky. If he has a chance to go home this episode and his tribe does not vote him out, I predict nobody in that tribe will win the game.

edit: ahahaha "listen to what jeff always says, ya gotta dig deep! Hello!?!"

This guy is the perfect first episode dunce. These editors have fantastic comedic timing with him.

I like Q. Lead the charge, Bhanu is too nice and easily swayed by that Jelly confidence. Jelinsky reminds me of Jon Hamm's character from 30 Rock, in terms of complete obliviousness to own obvious inability.

Even if Q did suggest it, it would've been because his partner was already sitting down and whining 15 minutes in. Q can't do it alone and we did see a snippet of him already trying to carry Jelinsky and offer moral support.

I was convinced Jess was going until Jeff read that third vote so I was catastrophizing this whole season. It's satisfying seeing a real loser flame out this fast.

I'm on the Bhanu train right now, he gives incredible facial expressions. Not quite as extreme as Caroline, but he definitely cannot hide his emotions.

I'm also digging Tevin, Kenzie, and Q.

It took me a second to place why Charlie looks familiar, then I realized he looks just like the Senate twink.

Finally got around to watching premiere and loving chefs kiss to the editors burying Jelinski the whole episode. What a clown that guy was, so glad to see him go.

Kind of disappointing that tribe looks like such a mess though because Q and Tiffany and Kenzie all rule. Gonna need them to survive this disaster tribe.

For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still

Poor Jess. I don't think she's gonna make the merge but I really like her, enough so that it's making me like Kenzie and Tiffany less for not including her.

Really hoping Jess finds her footing (and sleep!!) at some point, really like her as well. So far I think Hunter and Tevin are probably the people I enjoy watching the most but it's cool having a decent sense of everyone in the game so far. The only person I'm just kind of going who??? on is Ben who I don't think has? gotten much to say?

I have adult ADHD and really felt her upset in that scene where Jess couldn't remember which was her stuff

Unlike with a few other contestants who've lacked necessary medicine, you can manage ADD/HD without. But it does take adjustment. I believe in her.

She seems like she's a lot of fun normally, like compare her on the beach to her intro. However I feel that personality only gets to come out when she has her balance and feels comfortable. Being sleep deprived and off medicine is probably the biggest wrench she can have in her system. I don't have insurance so I haven't had ADD medicine in over a decade but I manage well enough in my way... Right up until something weird happens and knocks me out of line and it's a wobbly scramble to get back on the general path -- and that's with helpful folks in my life likely trying to remove stress rather than add pressure.

Really hoping she survives the early game and gets to come out of the shell a bit. The next episode previews made it seem like a few other people were already cracking, so maybe the focus will shift to one of them.
