Survivor Micronesia: Week 1

Woohoo, rabid fans vs jaded favorites! Let the games begin!

I gotta skip right to the end, though, cause this episode has me scratching my head. Top 5 reasons I can figure that Jonny Fairplay wanted to go home:

1) He wanted to catch his 7 month pregnant girlfriend with the baby's real father
2) Yau-man knocked some sense into him when he head-slammed him going for the idol
3) Drugs on Micronesia aren't as good as home
4) All the hot girls had already hooked up
5) He heard Celebrity Rehab was casting the second season

So, basically, the first episode was all about introducing the fans and re-introducing the favs. Fans think they have a big advantage since they know everything there is to know about 1) survivor and 2) the former contestants playbook. Favs think they have an advantage because they know how to build shelter, start fire and hook up before you start smelling really bad.

James and Perv-hottie appear to be a couple, as do Amanda and Ozzy. Hmmm. Lots of drama that will cause. I was really really really hoping Yau wasn't gonna hook up with anyone cause that would have been too much for me.

Over on the fan side, Perky Kathy has really made quite an impression. She apparently just met her first gay person, and has seen her first pair of implants. A former member of the US Navy, she's living proof that don't ask, don't tell is alive and well. Look for Kathy to try and get some tips from Chet, who according to the cbs website is a Miss America pagent coach. So, you know he's seen implants before!

First challenge for immunity involved a really elaborate set with a little cart, special puzzle wheels and a special tree to bonk Eliza in the face with. Excellent! Fans went all out and kicked some celebrity ass, sending the favs to tribal council. Looks like the 2 dating couples are an alliance, as are Yau, Eliza, Ami and Jonathan. No idea why Cirie is left out in the cold but expect her to become a deciding vote in the future. Jonny Fairplay was courted as the swing vote, but instead asked to be voted off since "he was worried about the health of his baby". Yea, I'd be pretty damn worried too with that DNA.
