Same here. I absolutely HATE having three people at the end and maybe the switch back to 16 contestants means there will only be two at the final TC.

Sydney is really pretty, Erinn's not bad either.
Don't really like Coach at all.
Sandy is a hoot.

Re: Survivor: Tocantins
Interesting bunch. "Coach" is a standout personality (good or bad, yet to be determined), and the African-American mom seems to have her head in the game, too.
I am bummed about Carolina being voted out; day-um, she was extremely hot and just about my ideal female body type, too. (Petite, stacked Latina.)
Sandy just grates. I was hoping she was voted out because the editing made her seem far more annoying than Carolina. And her utter cluelessness about what an efffin' pace was staggering. It's a step, you moron!

She's making a helluva case for being the most annoying contestant EVER. When I started watching the episode I already had a splitting headache and she magnified it to the power of 1000. Would much rather have looked at Carolina for a few more episodes.
Oh, and I'm with Patrick, Sydney and Erinn are HOT!!!

Her, um, let's say "assets" distracted me from actually listening to her. Sandy didn't have that same effect on me.

Re: Survivor: Tocantins
Sad to see Carolina go so fast.
IMO they were'nt looking at the big picture by voting her out, yes she was a little opinionated but what are they going to do when the harsh environment takes it toll on Sandy and she starts to lag which my gut tells me she will?
Sierra sort of reminds me of Sophia Myles from Moonlight.

Re: Survivor: Tocantins
Good start to the new season.
Right off the bat, some of the contestants annoyed the hell out of me. First impressions baby, first impressions! Mr. I am a renaissance man and think I can make people do what I want cracked me up. Girl with fever, what on earth were you thinking letting the cat out of the bag about you being sick? And why on earth are you in a foreign country with an illness that could hurt your chances in this game? Sandy REALLY annoyed me at first, but than I sort of found myself rooting for her. She may seem a bit whacko, but I think she can lay low while others go at eachother and start collecting heads. The guy who wants the million to buy fancy things...I hope he goes next. Something about him just irked me.
Before the first challenge, the black lady had her sweater tied around her waist and I swear I had to do a double take because it looked like she had a penis. I actually rewound to see. That was funny.

Tyson is a strange one, getting naked to wade into the water and the comment about "furs around my shoulder and rings on these fingers" and then "i'll wear a tiara, a man tiara". He is obviously not just a Mormon!

I suspect she was not sick a couple of months ago when she signed up so it is hard to blame her. Also I think telling the group was a good idea which explained why she looked so weak.

Re: Survivor: Tocantins
I can already tell that the "renaissance man" is going to annoy the hell out of me as well. As for Tyson, his "man tiara" line cracked me up and I think he might bring some good comic relief to the show. He's like a Mormon Matthew McConaghey.

I think there should be a rule that you can never refer to yourself as a renaissance man, only others may do so....

I find Sandy far more annoying than Coach, but we'll see what transpires.
I also think Sierra's move in telling the group she was sick and setting up the shelter were very smart strategic moves. And I agree, she reminds me a lot of the actress Sophia Myles.

You and me both.....I didn't particularly like his dismissive comments of Sierra, despite the fact that she setup camp to show her true worth to the tribe. He basically said that she was chosen so she's gotta go which is a really unfair rationalization. I hope he gets axed early.....he deserves it.

Re: Survivor: Tocantins
The premier's focus was that you really can't trust first impressions,
and perhaps neither should I.
I am not very comfortable with this new batch of survivors. I don't
know --- they don't seem as diverse as last season (which was my
very first exposure to the show). There isn't anyone here I particularly
like, and the "hotness" factor is a bit lacking. Yeah, there's Sierra and
the Brunette, but I don't think Sierra is going to last more than another
two weeks.
Still, I am happy to see this show back.
