The news that Richard Hatch has 200 bastard children running around is just too great not to post here for discussion.

Damn Malcolm's a REALLY good writer. I think I'll actually read the Xfinity power rankings this season.

@CountBulletsula:disqus I'm thinking of a gesture and it's not a thumbs up…….

Is it wrong that I'm rooting for Tina to pull the second consecutive Reverse Sandra? (2 last place finishes). 

This explains so much about Candice's career on Survivor. Her appeal is availability.

I suppose it was too much to hope for my #1 prospect to fall all the way to fourth. So much for my dreams.

I just picked so you're good to go

This might be a bit of a gamble but I'm gonna pick Gervase. I'm throwing in all my cards with Team Gervase/Marissa.

I vote with Judge. I like the flexibility.

@avclub-ef062084a1c4a3584af1d4f8e514ea50:disqus I'll say this- I'm definitely intrigued enough to watch the first episode

I didn't know Varys was on this season! I bet he'd kick ass on Survivor though. My top pick would be Khaleesi though.

I can understand that. Even an affordable apartment in Chapel Hill is tough to find. I know that a lot of staff live in Durham or Carrboro if you don't mind a commute, but parking in Chapel Hill is an absolute bitch.

I'm cool with that arrangement.

Are we allowed to play in both leagues this season? Because if so I'm going with Tyson, Aras, Laura M, and Marissa (Gervase's niece). I'm honestly not sold on my girl Marissa but any contestant who goes to the best school in the country has to be on my team. Call it a gesture of solidarity.

Here's my two cents if anyone cares: I agree with lowering FTC votes to 2 pts and I totally support @avclub-a5fdfa672284da6bf4f4326e2b3698bd:disqus's idea for handling idols. I think a redemption island victory should be equal to an individual reward- that is 2 pts. No points for not winning the duel.

I'm proud and humbled to be given the opportunity to compete at the Cool Kids Table this season

Oh hello people. I stopped by to check on the Survivor Fantasy League. When does that start? I also have a great Survivor story to tell you guys but I'll wait til the premiere for that one.

Amen

That's the really amazing thing about The Grandma Lie. Other players have told gigantic lies about their personal lives on Survivor to gain sympathy (Russell Hantz's bullshit Katrina story immediately comes to mind) but Fairplay's lie was unique because he knew how to use it to advance in the game.

I haven't checked this page in days but I guess I had some sort of sixth sense. This is a great interview- I love how Erik has just decided to go all in on the candid, no-bullshit, biting-the-hand-that-feeds schtick. It's a shame we couldn't see any of this on the show.
