Three tribes: Chapera, Saboga, Mogo Mogo. Four previous million dollar prize winners. Unless the site is goofed up, two tribes have two winners each on them while the third has none. An interesting spread.

My favorite contestants from past seasons: Kathy, Rob C. and Alicia. Knowing Burnett, he’ll make me hate all three of them this time around.

My least favorite contestants: Jerri, Tom and Rob M. And I don’t care how sympathetic Burnett makes them seem, he will not sway me.

Thoughts off the top of my head: I stand by my earlier comment that Mogo Mogo needs to boot Rich off the island the first chance they get. I keep thinking that it would make more sense to ally with him and take him to the final two because really, would a jury actually award him the money over another contestant who hadn’t already won a million dollars?

Could a jury in this game seriously award that money to someone who already won it? Contestant number 2 would have to be a repellent ass who everybody hated SOOO much. And I just don’t think any of these folks fits that bill, except maybe Jerri. And yet, I still think Rich needs to get the boot ASAP.

That having been said, I also think it would be hysterical if the man did win. So there.

I’d love for Rob or Kathy to win. I think Jenna L. and Amber have the best shot of flying in under the radar. Amber may actually be worth watching out for.

Rupert, Rudy and Jerri on the same team? HA!

All three teams seem evenly matched for strength this time around, so that should add some serious competition to the physical challenges.

Every last one of these folks has an ego the size of the island they’re on, so the scheming and strategizing is going to be intense, not to mention the tantruming and “hurt feelings.”

The one thing I know for sure? Mark Burnett hasn’t let me down yet. And while this installment feels a little been there, done that, I look forward to seeing what the reality guru has in store for us. And to Jeff Probst getting another chance to bait some of his “favorite” survivors.

Between the football game commercials and Survivor, this promises to be a hell of a nice evening. We’re even making nachos and dip! Forbidden carbohydrate laden snack food!

Now apparently I have to go to Target and buy a new shower curtain.
