Okay I commented in here last week that I don't like the direction Survivor has taken — using the same players over and over, plus gimmicky crap like immunity idols that reproduce like lemmings. Or these Survivor "advantages" that are being given to what seems like almost everyone. Or these ridiculous half-immunity idols, all this crap and all this gimmicky bull-shit. Whatever purity the game once had has been diluted a little bit every season over the past 20 years. I've felt that in recent years it's become a parody of itself, and a parody particularly of the name Survivor, itself.
But I gave it another try today and watched episode two and I have to admit, the Rob/Sandra storyline could be epic. When Rob said early in the episode, "This could be war," or whatever it was he said, I knew I had to keep watching. And the irony is not lost on me that it was one of those gimmicks I complained about above, a fire token, which was given to Rob that is responsible for my renewed interest in this season.
So yeah, I'm back onboard. It could be fantastic. I would love to see Rob give the self-described "Queen" the metaphorical beat-down of a lifetime.
