So excited to see my Cirie back!!!

I'm not a survivor fan, but I'm excited too

Thought the first hour was a bit lackluster, but damn... that second tribal council!!!

[Mister Matt]

Loved hearing Sandra sound off at the end of that second tribal!  It'll probably get her in trouble, but it was fun to hear.  What a great blindside.  There was no indication that the vote was going to be "unonymous".

They should really put term-limits on these contestants.  I thought they used "game-changers" quite loosely in selecting the returnees.

[Mister Matt]

That's always been the case with any season featuring returning contestants.  Oddly, this season features very few I dislike (though I admit there are a couple I don't remember that well) and one of them was already voted off last night.  Clearly, Caleb was never a "game-changer" as he was medically evacuated his season 9 days into the game and simply promised a spot to return, which is why I found it odd there was discussion about him being targeted as a threat.

But as far as I'm concerned, Cirie and Sandra can return as many times as they like.  I'll always enjoy watching them.  I'm never happy to see Ozzy, however.

If Sandra finds a way to engineer a third title for herself, she really is the "Queen" of Survivor. 

And Cirie is probably my favorite Survivor ever, so any return by her is welcome.

I love Sandra. She had me cracking up to no end last night. Malcolm keeps getting hotter and I feel like Aubrey was a denied a win on her season, so I'm glad she's back. 

Lots of fun watching Tony and Samdra go head to head. They REALLY must not like Ciera to vote her off before a winner and a two-time winner. 

Cirie is great. I mostly liked Tai in his season, but I found him a little annoying last night. We didn't really get to spend time with the winning tribe much. 

[Mister Matt]

Whizzer - Agree with you on everything (especially regarding Aubry being robbed of a win...same as Hannah last season) but Malcolm.  To me, Malcolm's like Ozzie 2.0 and his ego deflects any and all potential hotness.

adamgreer - Cirie is my all-time favorite as well, but I fear she won't last long.  EVERYONE is aware of how brilliant she is at both strategy and social, which is why she's never been able to win.  Which goes to show how winning challenges and finding idols aren't necessary to be considered a massive threat or in determining a winner.  

Which reminds me...

there was some really fancy editing going on where we missed out when literally everyone was on board with voting Tony.  All that talk about voting the weakest to keep the tribe physically strong for challenges was mostly among those Tony considered allies.  It definitely made for a great blindside for Tony, but also for us as I don't recall anything indicating a "unonymous" vote.  And Tony voted for AUBRY after all that plotting against Sandra?!?!  I'll have to watch again as I feel like maybe I got distracted and missed a big chunk of the episode.

Will dumb-ass Debbie's vote count when she votes for Cherie?

[Mister Matt]

HA!  

[NYadgal]

Double HA!

Was not at all sorry to see Ciera voted off.  Agree with you about Aubrey.

I'm super excited for this season - and I'm not generally a fan of having an entire cast of former players.

Yeah, if Cirie ever makes it to a jury vote it's game over. They'd be dumb to keep her around, but stranger things have happened on this show.

They'd be dumb to keep her around, but stranger things have happened on this show.

Namely, Russell Hantz in two finales and cast for a third season.  UGH.
