Yep, full seasons. They go back thru Season 13 (Cook Islands) from what I saw, with all the non-HD seasons only costing $9.99.

Done. Didn't even know that existed.

Errr…so, now that I was all fired up to some Survivor catch-up (particularly as GoT and Mad Men wind down and I have time burn until Breaking Bad comes back), I realized I have no idea where to find older episodes. Nothing on Netflix, Hulu or CBS.com it seems. Suggestions anyone?

Ha! Perfect.

@avclub-4e5512c7375097bd9de6b2997a5a8176:disqus I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one - in part because I think Cochran was much more liked than Eddie by nearly everyone and in part because I don't buy it that 100% of people vote for who they dislike the least (although it's certain a large percentage…

Nice, thanks for the recommendation - and great point on watching the "initial" runs for certain players rather than jumping right into them fully-formed.

I'll probably go both routes: for scoring purposes, I'll just start when they introduce HII and work my way forward. And the wiki pages provide some information that can be used to fill-in gaps when necessary.

You're crazy. Malcolm is an Ivy League-educted guy who traveled to a foreign country to teach English and now has a budding acting career.

@JudgeReinhold:disqus I'm planning on watching some back-seasons this summer/fall (starting with HvV since I just started watching in 2011) and will definitely test the scoring systems. My wife is expecting our second child and I live in a wasteland now, so I've got tons of expected indoor time to use "constructively."
…

No way. He had Reynold, maybe Andrea and that was it. Malcolm made it clear he was voting for best strategy, Phillip would never have voted against a loyal S 'r Us and what rationale would Brenda have had voting for Eddie who did nothing for her over Cochrane. Eddie would've likely won in a Dawn/Sherri finale, but…

When you're going about the process for the leagues next season, when are you going to start taking names for the League 1-level folks.

I think the real thing Cochrane realized was that he could make history with a perfect vote if he got rid of Eddie (since Reynold was definitely voting for Eddie and maybe one of the Andrea/Malcolm duo).

Without that opening speech it would've just been standard reality TV stuff (lack of self awareness, playing up confidence), but luckily she did open with that hilariously misguided/awful speech.

Oh man, where in the heck do I sign-up for my Championship-level spot now so I'll be on the list for promotion to the Premiership next year?

And honestly, I don't even know if any of the strategizing matters for Cochrane at this point - he's done a marvelous job of eliminating the threats right before he was targeted and never sooner.

Agreed with a lot of the posts here re: Cochrane & Dawn. Aside from Brenda's pitying her, she seemed to be annoying people pretty consistently throughout and was always approached as a "swing" vote only when necessary…not as an actual decision-maker.

Well, I think she meant she was in control of the voting, not necessarily the game itself. She has no shot in hell of winning, but is going to a major decision-maker down the stretch for her stays and goes since she's not part of any concretized alliance.

Good points all around re: jury construction.
