I'm leaning more toward Ozzy in the poll. If he can feed his tribe again, then I feel like he could get himself in a good position. Should this happen? Of course not, but I don't exactly have confidence in the recent casts CBS has put together.

Nonetheless, looking forward to another great season of discussion. Just discovered this before Nicaragua and wish I'd found it sooner. Should be fun.

Considering they filmed this like two weeks after the RI finale, I don't think Ozzy has a prayer of winning this thing. I guarantee you we hear at least one person say, "Did you see Boston Rob last year? We can't let that happen again."

There's no way a tribe votes out Ozzy first though. If I had to have one returning survivor in my camp just for survival/challenge purposes its 1. Rob and 2. Ozzy. And Ozzy has the bonus of having no strategy at all.

Can't wait but please no more mid-season recap episodes!

People like Ozzy

He'll go far.

Boom it.

I wonder how many water challenges they'll feed him

I heard that they selected the cast and were in Samoa or somewhere before the finale of Redemption Island. If that is true, they have no idea if Rob won or not.

I dont think Rob winning/losing is what matters, its the fact that he made it to the finals relatively easily and it was obvious he would get at least some votes.

Ozzy has to be on some sort of level in this picture with coach:

Ozzy is such a boss.

"I blew my load in her mouth because that's how she likes it." is one of the all-time great lines in TV history.

this picture is better than the entire OP... I think accobra should make a thread and we should get this thread locked. OP is awful for how popular this show is on this forum.

I think we should ban the next person who complains about the OP.

good point. But they did have a lot of players who were UTR types... could be the same this season. I am trying to think of who I think would go further most often... I want Coach to go further ldo

as long as its the next person and not the last person who just did.

Survivors starting soon im PUMPED!!!

While they're at it, please no more dramatic segment where the final three contestants remember everyone who got voted out, one at a time with a little clip of each person.

OP blows and you know it (no offense to OP obv)

we need someone like accobra to make the thread, when more pics and info are available (shouldn't be too much longer)

John Cochran is Gumby on that board. I seriously hope that this comes up in his exit interviews, **** hilarious.

Did that Jim guy say he was a WPT Champion? What episode was that or was it a prelim?

Won an event in 2006. I think he is going to do well.

ok, so it was a prelim event, that's why I didn't find him.

first impression: that guy has what it takes as long as he doesn't play it too hard. he doesn't seem money scared, has rhetorical skills, prolly is a decent lier. I like his chances if he can hold it together in the challenges and not be the guy that makes them lose.

that uber-nerd Cochran will be comedy gold I assume. I expect epic confessionals from him and epic confessionals from the others making fun of his appearance.

redneck cowboy should be good TV.

albert the pickup artist should be fun to watch whether he can work his magic there.


all in all, this cast has a better diversity as far as I can tell for now. well, with the added eye-candy of course.

I'm still very unsure about a power ranking for this cast, it feels much harder to do than last season.

If you're all that sensitive and whiny about an OP, create a good one and I'll PM a mod to edit my OP with it

They didn't do that last season. I think they finally realized how many people just turn their TV off during it. It's like when they ask one question to a person who got eliminated on week 3 - sorry, don't care about you AT ALL.

I could do without the sappy family visit segment, but I am positive they will never take that out. At least eliminate the part where people view vids or read letters.

Come on - it's 39 freakin days and you got a shot at $1 million and you are on TV. Compare that to soldiers who are away from home for much longer risking their lives just for a lame paycheck. Just seems so freaking hollow to me.

I don't think the OP is that bad - it's just tradition that Accobra did it, that's all.
