What do you guys think about this season?

I was a big Survivor fan for the first few seasons, but since then, I occasionally watch an episode just to get a look at the hot guys.

Mick has a handsome face and a hot body. I hope he makes it far.

I would like to see Russell stay for a while. He makes it interesting.

I wonder how the recent seismic activity in the South Pacific has or will affect the show?

The taping is long over so the earthquake won't have any impact on the show other than Jeff Probst's annoncements at the end of the show about where to go to donate to help the people of the islands.

Ben was a real jerk last week and deserved to get voted off. That business of going around telling the others that "they couldn't survive without him" was the last straw. The captain of his tribe tried to save his butt, but it didn't work. He really did deserve to get kicked off. By the way, I don't always watch regularly, and I get their names mixed up. Is Russell the leader of that tribe ? He's a real snake, I don't trust him at all, when he's with the others he's so concerned, sincere, and compassionate, but when he's by himself he reveals his true self, making fun of all the others and talking about how he's turned them into "zombies", ready to do his bidding. I know several people who are just like that in real life. He does make the show interesting, though.

No, Russell is not the "leader" of his tribe. I thinkthe leader of his tribe is named Mick. Coincidentally the leader of the other tribe (the black guy with the dreads) is also named Russell.
