So, I'm sure many of you watched the season premiere of Survivor 20 last night. I managed to watch it this morning and was thrilled to see some of my favorite cast members returning to battle it out against "nature" and against each other in Heroes vs. Villains.
There were some highlights for me this episode that are worth mentioning. First, the hints made at love brewing between the dragon slayer and the black widow. You all know who I'm talking about: Coach and Jerri. They would make the perfect TV couple, wouldn't they? You know you were hoping for it, so maybe they will play it up in episodes to come.
An interesting aspect was how my favorite survivor, Russel, seemed to drift into the background toward the second half of the show. He's either quietly working his magic behind the scenes, or he's found his match and will quickly fall prey to the veteran players.
Finally, I was very glad to see Ms. Sugar get the boot at the end of the episode. I can't stand her at all. She seems like she's 12 years old and constantly whines. She must have been picked for the show just so they would have someone to vote off in the first episode. It was hilarious watching Colby try to distance himself from her. Yikes! Getting turned down by Colby. Not good.
At any rate, this first installment stood up to the promises made by its promos. As one of the many around the world to have watched every Survivor episode since it started with season 1, I can say this should be the best one yet. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Russel will come out of the shadows and truly take his rightful crown as the Best Survivor to ever have played the game.
