Ozzy rocked in his first season, then seemd on the clueless side in Fans v Faves, when he got blindsided (IIRC). He's kind of all over the place in this first ep, but he's very watchable.
Coach has always been loveably out-there with a heavy side of annoying. But he's always entertaining either in and of himself or in seeing others react to him. He comes off as being genuinely weird though, rather than affecting it. I'd like to see if he really HAS some game this time, because he's always followed someone else's coattails in the past to get as far as he did.
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

I liked that there were not the usual 2 obvious choices for tribal tonight!
I also liked that Ozzy's team won immunity- not that I prefer them yet- but because I like the teams to be even early on.
I was cool with tonight's vote-out... that player was a wee bit too bitchy for my taste.
I was prepared to come on here and marvel/complain that somehow sleazy Brandon was never mentioned as the one shooting for Mikayla while everyone else was getting thrown under the bus, and then he went and outed himself. He's still my least favorite in the game. He's more like Uncle Russell than he wants to admit.
If there is a Hantz family member involved in this program next season, I think I'll take a pass.

Brandon is certifiable. Poor Mikayla. Because it's HER fault that HE finds her so attractive?!? If they were living in the 13th century he would have had her burned at the stake as a witch by now.
Kinda slowish eps but I'm into this season so far. Major alarm bells that Ozzy and his alliance are reminding me of Rob and his BORING mob from last season though. Ozzy=Rob (complete with Idol), Keith=Grant, the two other girls = Ashley & Natalie. For that reason I'm much more rooting for Coach's team now. I can NOT handle a repeat of last season's dreck-fest.

Season finale is this Sunday... season has been hit or miss for me... largely unlikable cast, especially the final five... there's no one left I'd like to see win... Ozzy turned out to be a major tool as well... Brandon is indeed certifiable, as highlighted by tonight's episode...

I think I never made it past September... the Redemption Island and bringing back former players must cease.

I've actually enjoyed this season. And in a major turn around, Ozzy and his tribe went from being my least favourites at the beginning to my most favourites after they switched things around by voting out Ozzy's chief ally Elise, and then when Ozzy took that crazy gamble of getting himself voted onto Redemption Island.
Their crazy tactics made this season so much more interesting. Which is why it was so frustrating that that pathetic little snake Cochran ruined it all by betraying them to Coach and his gang of boring Rob's Zombies 2.0.
Of the remainings, I'm really hoping Ozzy makes it back from Redemption Island to win the whole thing, but since that's unlikely to happen, I guess Sophie is my by default favourite of the remaining blue tribe.

I read the finale recap. This show may have just run its course.
I'll try again next time *IF* there are NO former players or Redemption Island.
Lardy I just noticed your question-- I def. remember starting off watching the 'Race Wars' season but remember nothing about it other than the 4 segregated tribes.

Of the final three, I was glad for the winner... seemed to be the only truly deserving one...

After bailing early on the Coach/Ozzy season (and not regretting it for one moment), it looks like I can get back into SURVIVOR when it returns in Feb! NO FORMER CASTMEMBERS! NO MENTION OF RUSSELL OR HIS RELATIVES! NO REDEMPTION ISLAND! Those 3 simple things have ensured my return.

Thank God they're done with the former cast members... I won't miss Redemption Island either... overall, looks to be potentially very good...

OMG!!! TELL ME you guys are watching this season!
I just caught up with the first 4 episodes--
HOW did that horrible queen Colton go from being the ladyboy who would be first "boy" out to being an almost Disneylike EVIL QUEEN OF THE TRIBE?
This has been hysterical! Colton getting away with being COMPLETELY EVIL and rolling her bitchy eyes at everything in Tribal is cracking me up...

I am watching this season too and LOVING it!
However, Colton is the THE MOST VILE, REPREHENSIBLE SCUMBAG I have ever seen on reality television. He was entertainingly awful in the first few episodes but, in this lastest one, with his bare-faced racism, elitism and all-around rudeness, he has crossed over into unwatchably awful territory.
And Tarzan, whom I had been liking previously, went down with him after that weird rant about how just because America has a black President now, somehow race issues are no longer a problem? When it's pitifully obvious that one of Colton's biggest problems with Bill is that he's black? Tarzan just outed himself as one of those rich (he's a plastic surgeon) 'poor me' white men who react defensively when the injustices that some from their race/class inflict are pointed out.
That said, there are a lot of good characters this season. Both tribes have been chock-full of likeable and unlikeable characters. And I've really enjoyed seeing the dynamics created by both the male/female split and the one-camp situation.
And this latest episode, with all the tension about whether the guys would give up immunity or not, was amazing! What a crazy decision. I loved Jeff's stunned reaction when they walked into Tribal!
My absolute hope, hope, hope to win at this point is Sabrina. She is one cool, classy customer! Love her! Failing that, I wouldn't mind seeing Chelsea, Christina or Kim from the female tribe win. Or Jonas or Troyzan from the male tribe.

Probst had been saying from the beginning that Colton was a total villain... after this week, I'd say he's a total prick... completely watchable in a Disneylike evil queen kind of way, but a total prick... I usually don't subscribe to the whole "person you love to hate" thing, but I have to admit I am loving to hate Colton... I see a major blindside coming his way...

I wonder what kind of reaction Colton is getting back in the real world after the latest episode. He sounds like a person who avoids dealing with people unlike himself, but perhaps some "outsiders" are finding ways to break through his barriers.

Colton's dickheadishness continued unabated until-- YOU KNOW WHAT. Colton, meet Karma. Karma has a bone (and a body organ) to pick with you.
Now that THAT happened, things can really get to popping. I'd have liked the guy/girl teams to remain a little longer so Colton could pick off (or attempt to anyway) more of the he-men types.

Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead!
And not a moment too soon either because, after that despicable bullying of Christina at the beginning of the episode, I had just decided that I could not watch one more episode with him.
Some people find him entertaining to watch? I found myself wishing bodily harm upon him. AND THEN GOD DELIVERED! Thank you Jesus! Now if only you can strike down that rancid shrew Alicia in the next episode too!

P.S. Here's a secret scene they didn't show in the episode - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIvSeIdxX8s&feature=g-u-u&context=G2ce133aFUAAAAAAAAAA Colton and Alicia are vile, racist, sociopathic pieces of scum. And she's a TEACHER?!? God help her poor students. I wonder if she joins in on the bullying of her poor kids? One thing I did love though was that Colton left the game and didn't give her his Idol! He'd rather have a little keepsake than help his weasel henchwoman in the game! haha Just goes to show how selfish and uncaring people like him are.

Still really enjoying this season. There have certainly been a lot of twists and turns (not all of them planned).
The ladies seem to have an almost certain lock on the top spots at this point though (the guys were crazy for not staying united after the merge) - but anything can happen before the end.
People I like at this point - Christina, Sabrina, Troyzan... and Mike and his sneaky, trouble-stirring ways has really grown on me.
People I dislike at this point - Alicia, Tarzan, Jay (seems like a secret asshole) and Kat (she's fairly harmless but I don't find overly stupid people all that funny/endearing).
People I'm indifferent too - everyone else. (I used to like Kim but she seems like she's being too groomed for the obvious winner at this point and I'd rather be surprised.)
I think this is one of the better seasons I've seen in a long time actually.

Agreed, Blacs... definitely better than the previous Russel and Rob seasons (although I really liked Heroes vs. Villains except for Parvati losing).
Why did Jonas practically slit his OWN throat at Tribal by calling out Mike? That was a gamble that did NOT pay off. Tarzan should be next to go.
I too am down with Christina, Sabrina and now Troyzan. Less down with Mike, I prefer Jay... I admit his looks MIGHT influence that somehwat, though Mike is handsome as well.

Between this week's and last week's blindsides, the boys sure proved to be pretty dumb... and (can it be possible?) I actually miss Colton...

I'm still enjoying this season a bunch-- and especially hope to see Kim take a BIG fall. The fact that Jay is an utter and complete dumbass only makes me MORE sexually attracted to him.  Can't wait to see him all cleaned up next week, although he HAS to have the PRETTIEST beard I have ever seen! *dreamy sigh* I'm still hoping for a Sabrina or Troyzan victory with Chelsea and Christina as my next picks. I can't say I *miss* Colton but I *AM* curious how differently the game is playing out in the alternate universe where he didn't get sick.

Yes - as much as I hated Colton, he was at least a scheming, back-stabbing game-player who wouldn't have just laid down and let Kim control the whole game like she's doing. It would be interesting to see how differently this season would have turned out on Earth-3 where he didn't get sick.
That said, I'm still quite happy with the way things are going. I like pretty much all of the girls (minus Alicia) so I don't mind seeing them in charge... but I definitely want to see some surprise vote-offs before the end; and the vote off that would be my #1 surprise (and therefore the one I most want to happen at this point) is Kim.
Unfortunately, the other players (minus Troyzan) are all too dumb to target her I fear, and the editing is also so heavily pointing toward her victory, that I think she's going to be around until the end.
Still hoping for a Christina, Sabrina or Chelsea win, with Leif being my fourth pick for being the little engine who could.
Troyzan seems like dead man walking at this point so I'll be very surprised if he lasts more than a few more Tribal Councils.

The girls on the outer fringes of the female alliance would be well advised to turn on Kim before all the guys are gone. Christina and Alicia are surely looking at fifth and sixth place if things go the way they look to. And who wants that?!?!
Still "Lardy" to my friends!
