Shirin blew the challenge and got no votes.


I really hope they start dubbing in Worlds Apart in place of White Collar vs. Blue Collar vs. No Collar. That is an alarmingly long name.

Wow, I thought So was going but I thought it would be at the hands of Carolyn's idol. cuz of that Tyler confessional where he said idols were dangerous and Carolyn having an idol made up his mind for him. Ahh, Survivor editors.

Max basically said that at council - he said he doesn't blame them because he would have done the same thing but he would have lied better. He seemed like he was toning down his act a little bit by the end of the episode but that preview was fantastic

Fun episode. Nothing I can really add that hasn't been said. Just a ton of trainwrecks racing each other to be the most embarrassing Survivor. I really can't believe that one dude uses his sisters murder to pick up girls. Or that that guy ate a scorpion on Day 1. Or that Coach Jr. is so drat creepy so drat fast. Or that Max isn't the guy I hate the most even on his tribe. Who are these people?

I'm actually a little disappointed So got got so early just because she was so bad I'm always going to wonder what she would have done next.

Also I'm really freaked out by the tropical racoons and squirrels. For some reason it's messing with me that Nicaragua has the same wildlife as me. It feels wrong.

It's pretty much as far south as raccoons go; there's one subspecies in Panama as well. Squirrels, though, live everywhere. Spend some time looking at them on wikipedia - there's some species as big as cocker spaniels.

Hopefully the "collar vs. collar" gimmick doesn't last, because it's the only bad thing about this season so far. These people are all insane.

Well one episode in and this season is already better than last season.

The Blue Collars coming back to beat the White Collars in the immunity challenge was absolutely perfect.

Every tribe has issues and it's going to be fun to watch them blow up.

I still want Max to suffer, but Joaquin is definitely a bigger douche. Although Rodney might just be the biggest douche of all and Vince has a lock on creepiest.

I can't see it lasting more than 3 or 4 weeks before they merge into two groups, unless each team loses equally. I think once a team hits 3 players they will merge into two groups.

The tribes will be blended into two in a couple of weeks like they always are. These things never last longer than that.

Oh, I have no doubt that my instinct is loving stupid. It's just that I'm so used to seeing animals on Survivor that awe me or look virtually alien to me that it was weird to see a bunch of animals that I can find in my backyard.

No doubt the tribes won't last. But the players are embracing this pretty hard, so I hope we don't have to hear about dumb poo poo like "Blue-collar work ethic!" on day 30.

Yeah, the theme felt more artificial and annoying here than in Brains, Brawn, and Beauty. This dumb forced theme took up like 15-20 minutes of airtime for no reason. I wish they would just go back to themeless tribes chosen for balance, and trust the cast and show a little bit more. The last season to have tribes separated this way was Phillipines, and the last to do it without any returning players was Samoa(!) which was over 5 years ago(!).

I was calling him Coach Jr in my head from the second I saw him. It's not just the feathers. He's got that same smug act and ridiculous body language and deluded sense of self worth. He really just strikes me as someone who is very specifically aping Coach.

Who also happens to be a creepy sexual predator.

Joaquin and So were chodes for going for deceit right out of the gate but even dumber was they didn't even reap the benefits of getting the HII clue. Carolyn being hyper alert and snatching it away from them was the perfect reversal of fortune for those two dolts.

If white collar fixes it's wagon and goes on an early immunity run, Carolyn's HII will come in handy down the road. It all depends on if that other guy not named Max or Joaquin blurts out that she's holding power. If word gets around, they should do the predictable thing and flush it out quickly. I dunno what to think of Max yet. If he's going to drop obvious rehearsed lines and season factoids his act will get old fast. He's still my poison but he's not as awful as my first impression of him.

Dan Dan the Postal Man on blue collar is in trouble with the youngins in his tribe which have the makeup of becoming "Getalong Gang 2: Electric Boogaloo".

Featherdude is a loving bunny boiler that listens to Phish albums. I like the other guy that Perky Boobs McJet-Ski is taking a shine toward. That dude full on killed it making fire without flint. Mad respect for that. Hell, two out of three tribes made fire on their own. That's pretty awesome.

This cast is streets ahead of that abortion of a cast we had last year.

Some interesting stuff from Gordon Holmes here: http://xfinity.comcast.net/blogs/tv/2015/02/25/survivor-worlds-apart-episode-1-recap-singing-the-blues/

quote:

Behind-the-Scenes Tidbit: When I visited the Blue Collar camp, Dan was singing, “All by Myself” in the shelter.
Behind-the-Scenes Tidbit: Mike was totally copying off of the No Collar puzzle. In fact, when it was over he turned to the No Collars and said, “Thanks for the help.” The White Collars were not happy about this.
Another Behind-the-Scenes Tidbit: So told everyone about Max’s “Survivor” course, but nobody seemed to care.
Behind-the-Scenes Tidbit: Probst had to stop reading the votes to get confirmation from Joaquin that his “Cherilyn” vote was for Carolyn and not Shirin.

Last one's probably my favorite..

I don't think I've ever remembered so many names, distinct personalities, or interesting monuments from an all new player first episode. What a glorious disaster. My money's on Joe. He stayed cool and calm while taking a subtle leadership role and rocking the challenge. I can't wait to see Vince go down in flames.

Seriously what a seemingly great cast. I can't think of one person who came across as completely uninteresting.

What's really fascinating is how quickly some fans who are very familiar with the show, have their great pre-game plans fall apart almost immediately.
