Anybody any idea what on line channels one will be able to watch the new series in February?

Bottleopener · 11-01-2011 10:12PM

Cast is up!

:P this dude is so similar to Fabio o_o

Coeus · 11-01-2011 10:21PM

Minus 2 former players....wonder who they could be

seligehgit · 15-01-2011 02:14PM

Feverish speculation that it's going to be Boston Rob and Russell Hantz!:DNeglected to look at your link Bottleopener,silly me!I can't wait to see the 2 boys renew acquaintances,the mutual hatred from Heroes v Villians was electrifying,Boston Rob was voted out way too early thanks to Russell.Alongside Russell,Boston Rob is one of the all time great Survivor players.

johnnycnandy · 15-01-2011 03:00PM

Here we go again! Feels like Nicaragua just finished. Hopefully this season is an improvement on 21. Russell always makes for entertaining TV, even if I am a little sick of him. You would have to think he'll be the first to go seeing as he and Rob don't have immunity for the first tribal. No doubt he'll pull something off early to stick around. (What I wouldn't give to see him blindsided with a hidden immunity idol!) Rob will probably be a bigger target because he's a huge threat to win the game. Hopefully he can hang in til the merge because he's far too valuable to a tribe to vote out early.
10 of the 16 new players are from southern California. Giving me an uneasy Fiji feeling. Seems to be some obvious cannon fodder in there (Julie, Ralph, Francesca).

Coeus · 15-01-2011 03:06PM

Yes its been annonced by CBS that they are back. I was hoping it wouldn't be true but the rumour has been going round for months.

Dont see how they can win as they are sure to have the biggest targets on their backs from the start. They must be getting an appearence fee or something so I'm sure the producers will give us plenty of them...

On another note, Hatch is gonna be on the next US Celebrity Apprentice series

johnnycnandy · 03-02-2011 12:57AM

Anyone else see this news? Looks like Russell Hantz has been outed for being the source behind blogger missyae's spoilers for the show.

Apparently the player Russell tried to implicate was Shannon Elkins from Nicaragua. The timing of this is very interesting with S22 about to kick off. Wonder how CBS are going to deal with this. Will they sue Russell for the $5 million while he's on the show? Surely he won't be welcome at the reunion show this year.

Nope hadnt seen the news but I thought like many that it was his wife spilling the beans. Interesting that it was Hantz himself with the contact these guys are made sign.

I have come across Missyae's work when I tried to find out who was on HvV when they annonced that would be the next series. Not only did I find out who was on but when I dug deeper I found the boot list. Which kinda ruined the show as I was knew who was going each week and who the winner was.

Aye, I know a good few people who were completely spoiled by this on other sites - mainly due to idiots posting the final 3 in a thread title or idiots on youtube posting comments containing bootlists >_>.

Tvguide preview of RI is up on youtube. Haven't watched it yet.

seligehgit · 12-02-2011 03:49PM

Guys when will the first episode be uploaded by dcdice11 or RyanWed18?Will it be up on Thursday?I see Stentilyzier is not uploading this season,real pity as he's provided a great service with all the other seasons.Hope he has a change of heart.

I'm sure Stentilyzier will provide links to other uploads. He's done it with some of the seasons. Should be fairly easy to find it on thursday afternoon.

Coeus · 13-02-2011 12:40AM

Yea, it will be easy to get Thursday. I have been watching the day after for years. Dont understand why TG4 is a series behind when most American shows these days are screened as soon as possible after they are aired stateside

Back on topic, still looking forward to this series despite Russell and Rob been on it. Roll on Thursday

seligehgit · 14-02-2011 05:05PM

Can't wait!:D

Bottleopener · 15-02-2011 11:19PM

Yup! Here's hoping both Russell and Rob are embarrassingly voted out as soon as possible!

welchy · 16-02-2011 07:40PM

Anywhere online definately streaming this tonight?

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 16-02-2011 11:45PM

I'm so excited - gonna watch it on my lunch hour tomorrow.

Bottleopener · 17-02-2011 01:13PM

Well, that sure was an interesting first TC.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 17-02-2011 01:52PM

Best first tribal council ever.

I didn't care which one of those 3 went - they were obviously the most annoying, so good riddance.

Definitely good to have Rob and Russell in there - that wouldn't have been anywhere as good without them...

johnnycnandy · 17-02-2011 05:57PM

That was hilarious stuff. I bet Rob can't believe his luck. He's ended up with the most ridiculous tribe ever! He's already rounded up 5 votes, and the other 3 are falling over themselves to give each other up to him. This Philip guy is out of his mind. And they really need to start hiding those damn idols better.

Cherry_Cola · 17-02-2011 06:22PM

Amazing episode. Probably the craziest first tribal council ever!

That Phillip guy is obviously nuts too. Good to see Rob back and there's quite a few hotties in there aswell!

Looking forward to the rest of the season.

seligehgit · 17-02-2011 07:18PM

Absolutely crazy first tribal council,I'd say Boston Rob can't believe his luck.What a dumbass alliance those 3 were.Delighted Francesca was voted off,pity Kristina was'nt voted off as well with the idol.They really have got to hid those idols better,total joke.She thought she was a bit of a Russell Hantz!Philip is absolutely nuts.Russell's tribe appear on first impressions much stronger,united and coherent.Roll on next week.

Bottleopener · 17-02-2011 10:55PM

I must admit, Francesca must be one of my favourite first boots ever - I hope she stays a while on EI. Hopefully Kristina can somehow manage to stay in the game for a while longer.

Coeus · 18-02-2011 12:07AM

Yes Rob has lucked out with this tribe, they are in awe of him but I thought that might happen. He is more of a hero these days after taking on Russell in HvV.

I think Russell will have a harder task winning his crew over. He'll need to find an idol before their first TC and he probably will considering how easy Kristine found hers.

Looking at it U have to think Rob will outlast Russell this time...

johnnycnandy · 18-02-2011 09:53AM

I was suprised Rob made such a blatant play for Kristina's idol right in front of everyone. That kind of thing could piss off your alliance. But he looks to have gotten himself in a good position now. He'll prob make another move for the idol in the next episode. As for Russell, think he should have kept his head down and not started playing so soon. If people catch wind that he's running around talking, they'll target him right away. The only disappointing thing about the episode is that we didn't meet half the players. There was so much insanity going on with Kristina/Philip/Francesca that it took up the whole episode. Good start though.

Hey, it's better than having 30 minutes of Russell, which basically dominated the entire season in Samoa.

As for the Rob trying to get the idol? Can't see that happening. Kristina has to play it next time.

Hyzepher · 18-02-2011 03:43PM

Phillip has to be the worst player in history. Does he even think before he talks. I think he's paranoid

seligehgit · 18-02-2011 04:17PM

Totally agreed,if Russell is to survive in the game he has to keep his head down for a while and stop playing so hard,although it looks like he has already chosen his anointed pretty girl to ride on his coat tails!Looks likely that Boston Rob will survive longer in the game this time although Redemption Island is a handy route back into the game for 2 seasoned players like them.

At one point TG4 were only 3 weeks behind CBS. That was years ago though.

I'm actually sick of former players being brought back. Russell annoys me. I hope that Philip sticks around for a few more weeks because he's pretty funny. He seems to think that he's still a federal agent.

The worst part is this is Rob's 6th time on a CBS reality show. 2x Amazing Race and 4x Survivor. If he loses again he'd have lost 6 times - what a terrible player :P

Coeus · 23-02-2011 10:52PM

CBS are getting good mileage out of Rob alright...

I dont mind returning players as long as there up against other returning players in all-star series.

Next episode is up tonight

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 24-02-2011 02:09PM

Nice blindside, but a fairly piss poor episode overall - I just don't think they've got enough time to show everything. It really should be a 90 minute show. So far there's a lot of "Purple Kelly's" - if the show was longer we might get to meet some of them...

Yer man should really get his back waxed or something - it's like a wooly jumper...

Thargor · 24-02-2011 08:54PM

Oh fcuk yeah, I have 2 eps to watch tomorrow because I forgot this was back, sweeeeet, best programme ever made.

seligehgit · 25-02-2011 09:38AM

Totally agreed Captain Negative,very poor episode.It is going to be very interesting the conflict between Russell and Chewbacca ak Ralph!!!Philip gets crazier by the day,that speech post the loss was excruciating.He's trying way too hard to be liked by the tribe.Special Agent my ass,God help the CIA and FBI if this Walter Mitty agent continues to ruin their credibility.Yeah it was a nice blindside orchestrated by Rob,any survivor who high fives the opposing victorious tribe deserves to voted off.The lovely Andrea is going to have the daggers out for Rob.Here's hoping next week's fare is better.

Coeus · 25-02-2011 09:55PM

Just watched there. That tribal council was nicely orchestrated by Rob alright. He wasnt gonna let another Fabio happen. Good to see him playing hard already...

Ralph v Russell is going to fun. It was good to see Ralph get the idol as he now has Russells crutch. I would have thought Russell wouldn't have used the 'are you with me or against me' line to him after what happened to him on HvV. He underestimated Sandra there and she came back kicked his ass...

Thargor · 26-02-2011 11:26PM

Dumb bitch on Redemption Island: "Please God let me have a flint!"

Which she then searches for with a burning oil lamp, then she sets the lamp down on the ground beside her tinder while she tries and fails to light it with the flint.

johnnycnandy · 27-02-2011 02:26PM

I liked this episode. A lot going on, but i agree about not having enough time to get to know players. Think it was a bad move by Rob this week. Way too early for that kind of move. How long until his allies get worried after he was so fast to screw one of them? And Russell looks to be in a really bad position now. Without an idol he's in trouble.

I wouldn't put it past Survivor to of given her an LED lantern.

Thargor · 28-02-2011 02:30PM

Kerosene or some kind of lamp oil has been part of past rewards iirc.

johnnycnandy · 03-03-2011 02:20PM

Ding Dong, the witch is dead... for now at least. While I think its never a good idea to throw a challenge in Survivor, this time, I kinda feel it was the best move for the players in the power alliance. If you give Russell time in this game, he will gain power and you're in trouble. The best move was to get him out as quickly as possible, before he can cause any more trouble. Ralph is playing a good game. It's nice to see someone actually keep their mouth shut about a HII for a change.
Rob seems to be getting stronger and stronger in this game. If he finds that idol, forget about it.
As for the first RI duel, not bad. I'm willing to give it a chance. Will be interesting to see what happens if Matt or Russell get back into the game after being screwed by their tribes. Should be a good duel next week.

seligehgit · 03-03-2011 04:59PM

Really peeved off the great Hantz is gone,really thought Julie would vote Ralph out!God Stephanie was really feisty at the tribal council.I think it was foolish of them to throw the immunity challenge with them only 2 up with a merge in mind,I'm biased toward Hantz!:DHope he kicks Matt's ass and comes back into the game.Boston Rob will be very strong if he finds the idol.I thought the redemption island challenge was very lame.This season has really yet to catch fire.

Bottleopener · 03-03-2011 08:37PM

That can be described in one word: Awesome.

I love Julie.

Coeus · 03-03-2011 11:07PM

Yes massive respect for Julie, thank she has a strong mind unlike Tyson when Rob got screwed. She even gave them hope cos Russell was sat there thinking he was staying until the tie. Then he knew he was a goner. Agree on Ralph playing a good game, even put himself at risk to keep the idol in his back pocket. They seem to have a strong alliance and have 2 easy targets to ditch should they lose again...

johnnycnandy · 03-03-2011 11:15PM

I was screaming at the screen for Ralph to tell his alliance that he had the idol, so that they wouldn't have to split the votes! Really thought Julie was gonna flip and that damn Hantz would have pulled another one out of the bag. Good job by Ralph tho. He got Russell out and kept his idol under wraps. Gotta admit, it was a rush watchin Russell get his torch snuffed. Bet Jeff enjoyed that one!

Toto Wolfcastle · 04-03-2011 04:52PM

So glad that Russell is gone, for the moment anyway. I hope Matt beats him next week.

I really like Julie, Steve and Ralph. Ralph seems like he could be a great player. He has started well anyway. Stephanie is annoying me already.

I don't mind the idea of Redemption Island but it takes up so much screen time. The show needs to be longer to reflect this.

Bring on next week.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 05-03-2011 12:43PM

I'm disappointed Hantz was voted out. Whether you love him or hate him - he makes for entertaining television.

Thargor · 05-03-2011 02:54PM

Im not liking this Redemption Island crap, it seems like something cheap that was just thrown out in a meeting where the producers were desperate for new ideas, like the last time they brought the Outcasts back in whatever season that was, voted out should mean gone home for good, the tribe has spoken.

Well to be fair, Redemption Island has been done in several of the international versions years ago. They tried to introuce it to the US version a few years back, but the network didn't wanna change the format then. I'm uneasy with the idea of someone who's been voted out winning the game, but cmon, lets at least give it a go and see how it works out. Peolple complained when Hidden Immunity Idols were introduced, but I think we'd all agree that they've improved the game. Let's see at the end of the season how it's worked out.

Thargor · 05-03-2011 07:42PM

Maybe I was a bit harsh there, its still 1000X better than any of the other crap on tv at the minute, and Im glad they've resisted the temptation to fake it as evidenced by Russel getting kicked out so early.

How does RI work anyway? Christian Surfer Dude has to beat another person (Russel) to get back to his tribe? Or has to beat him to get to stay on RI?

Who ever wins the duel will stay on in Redemption Island. At some point they rejoin the game. I'm assuming it will be at the time of the merge to avoid a tribe ganging up and voting the returning member out. At least after the merge there is opportunity for new alliances.

Not happy that Russell is out. He makes for good moments in the show. I can't see him surviving enough duels to make it back into the game, and I really want to see what would happen if Rob and Russell made it to the merge. Would they align to avoid being targeted or would they pick up were H vs V's finished?

johnnycnandy · 05-03-2011 09:58PM

Ya, I imagine the RI survivor (or survivors) will rejoin at the merge. Thats where we'll see whether this RI twist will work or not. Does the player that re-enters the game team up with the tribe that voted him out, or go with the tribe he doesn't know? Either way, it could seriously screw up someones game. I def wouldn't want to see that RI player win the game tho. It would cheapen it a bit. Imagine if Lillian Morris had won Pearl Islands!

Bottleopener · 06-03-2011 01:47PM

Imagine if Rob and Russell met on Redemption Island. It'd be like Christmas coming early for the producers.
