And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Yes he was a manipulative greasy used cars salesman, I get it, why did he not deserve to win? My recollection is that he outplayed like a motherfucker.

Brian absolutely deserved to win, he is however a diagnosable sociopath and psychopath with no empathy whatsoever. This is also why he deserved to win - because he was the best Survivor player ever due to being a sociopath.

The funeral for the bat was some really bizarre television.

I can't remember Brian being particularly creepy on the show, but it was very interesting when he got very uncomfortable when people were able to see his wife and home.

I can't think of a worse final four than Thailand. Maybe RI, but at least Special Agent Phil was amusing and some people like Boston Rob, though I can't understand why! They were just wholly unlikeable. I definitely did not give a poo poo who won that season.

I can't wait to entertain you.
Exile sounds like it should work well this time around. Per this Jeff interview (Which, as a warning, looks like there might be some minor spoilers with a BTS vid of their filming):

http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/09/03/survivor-san-juan-del-sur-jeff-probst-redemption-island-exile-island/

So it'll start with the loved ones 1 VS 1 comp. Only loved ones will compete until there aren't anymore essentially, so if you've lost your partner, you won't be able to play. Idol clues are on Exile, idol itself will be back in camp somewhere.

I like it because it mixes together several ideas, and also now includes the 1 VS 1 reward comp which I've always wanted to see. Of course I'd prefer that comp not being loved ones, since I think the angle means there's a higher likelihood the comp will be thrown, but I'll take it for now as a good start.

Truthiness!
I don't remember hating Helen, but she was powerless against Brian's manipulation and Jan being pretty stupid.

Didn't hate Holly either, but Fabio winning was kind of the best thing that could have happened to that season. Watching the youtubes of him being a retard with his prize money and co-starring in a scantily-clad homoerotic film was also pretty good.

Holly wasn't bad but I think she left a bad impression on some due to her early season whining. She ended up pushing through it fairly well.

And I'll always be a Fabio fan for helping end that terrible season on a hilarious note and preventing Chase or Sash from winning.

From what we saw in game play Brian was a pretty normal guy, but as soon as he went to confessionals he treated the other contestants like game pieces and not humans. He got pissed at his home video because his wife was like "look at our new car! Look at our huge mansion!" and he didn't want people to know he was rich because previous seasons had rich people get voted out because they didn't "need the money".

Fabio winning was ok because of all the TMZ videos of him riding around in a limo drunk as poo poo/getting picked up at the police station at 4 am by the same limo with the TMZ paparazi in it.

That money was gone sooooo fast.

They're advertising John Rocker being on Survivor during the NFL games on Sunday. They threw in a quote about "I just hope I'm not the first boot" so maybe we'll get lucky and he'll be gone in the first episode.

No they scraped it last second. They will have loved ones duel's in it's place where the winner gets some kind of reward for his tribe and the loser goes to exile island.

It's a different gimmick than Exile and should have been given another, new name.

Listened to Corinne's 3-hour RHAP pre-roast of this season's cast over the course of several long walks yesterday. She's funny and scathing and makes for a good podcast threesome with Rob and Nicole.

I'm confusing previous Exile Island with the new method and version of a person being sent away from the tribe that will take place this season.

For one glaring instance of a difference, apparently they will be taking turns on selecting which person challenges their opposing team partner to a duel. So there will be no more Sugar-ing this season, ie sending the same person back to Exile over and over again.

It's the same as exile island in tocantins. Two people go and there is a clue to the HII back at camp, which one of them gets.

They are really good competitors, but as sisters, they like to yell and cheer each other, loudly, with no regards for anybody else. It's pretty annoying to listen to as a fellow contestant or just a spectator.

They should cast identical twins who wear the same clothes and during immunity challanges have them gently caress with both sides and switch tribes every challange.

Oh, hi Survivor...

Took me awhile to find this thread because there wasn't any pithy tagline to make it stand out from the rest of the chucklefuck TVIV thread titles. I'm sure that will change over time as we get this poo poo on the road.

The cast seems pretty diverse and all over the place, so much so that I cannot get a bead as to who will rise to the top. The Twinies need to be eradicated immediately and hopefully the rest of this lot have seen what those two dumbells are capable of and agree that they need to be purged.

For the sake of my eardrums and my sanity make it so.

Ponies: Jon & Jaclyn (edge to Jon if we need a sole pony vote)
Poisons: The Twinnies (may they both fall into a volcano!)
