Reply #4: A Great Start [View All]

[dr.strangelove]

I got the traditional goosebumps I get whenever a season starts. I love the camera shots of the areas Brunet films in. He knows the area is as important a character in the show as the people, and the opening few shots set it all up and let you know it. Wow, look at the pyramids, and people get to live here for a month and half, how cool.

The the characters. Instantly I was very turned off by Morgan, and I liked Gary and Briana. I thought my pick, Brian, was a little annoying. I was very annoyed by Judd. He is pissing me off something fierce.

Gary is an idiot if he does not think someone will recognize him. He was a fairly well known QB, only a starter for one full season and most of two others, but he was known enough that I have heard of him. I'm not that old. I know one of these guys or girls who was a sports nut in the 80s will have heard of him. He starter at QB for Tom Landry for crying out loud.

The walk was brilliant. I don't think I could have done it. Also, I think Nakum owes Jim for establishing the big lead over team stephanie. Once the fatigue set in, their big lead was eroded slowly. If Jim did not literally point them in the right direction, they never would have won.

The dehydration will pass quickly. Bobby Jon is a great team player (despite was Laz says) and will help the team. I see Nakum doing very well in the next episode.

All is all, a great return. Sorry to see you go Jim, but with your torn bicep, you would have dragged down the squad. If not for that, I would have kept you and cut Blake or Judd. I don;t like either of those guys. Anyway, I missed Stephanie. That girl is HOT.
