Survivor is on!

Roxie · February 18, 2011, 02:22:10 PM

I completely agree with Jeff and if you have to narrow it down to one series, for me, it would be Hero's versus Villains. You'll see the best of the best in that series.

clww · February 18, 2011, 02:55:39 PM

Jeff-I'm with you on both: Which season to buy? "Heroes VS Villains", and the ex-federal agent needs TO GO! NOW!
I don't think Russel or Boston Rob will make it to the end, but who knows? With the new Exile Island twist, that could shake things up considerably.

It's always a good idea to have the most disliked person sitting next to you at the last vote. Special Agent sure falls into that category. But...oh-my-God! There HAS to be others that are disliked, but not that obnoxious. But Gees....SHUTUP already!! No wonder he's not a special agent any more!! Oh yeah...I'm takin' my foot ball and goin' home. And by the way...Mary took an extra candy last night....so NYAH!

Roxie · February 19, 2011, 08:37:07 AM

:D That's a very good characterization.

The Secret Agent Man is history

.

Raider Bill · February 21, 2011, 09:38:00 AM

I think the secret's out.

Dean186 · February 22, 2011, 11:55:54 AM

Thanks for the suggestion on which seasons are the best. Currently Amazon doesn't show season 19 as an option, but shows season 20 as an option, but not yet released. Most likely season 20 will be released late spring. I will watch for it and I am still open to other season suggestions.

Carpenter · February 23, 2011, 12:12:54 AM

Dean, if possible I would watch season 19 before season 20. I think Russel will make more sence that way.

I liked watching Russell.

I haven't watched the current season yet. I'll have to catch up with it on the internet. Sounds interesting.

I was a little unclear on the Russell thing. Thanks for the suggestion, I will look for season 19 and go from there.

Agreed Russel is best enjoyed from the beginning.

I thought some of the characteristics of a federal agent are:
1. Very secretive. They only tell you what they want you to know and only if it will benefit them or their assignment.
2. Low profile. Spend more time listening than talking. Given the chance, most people can not stand a vacuum in a conversation and they will start talking just to make noise. Then they usually say something they shouldn't have. A good agent capitalizes on this.
3. Denial. Always claim to be something other than an agent unless there is a need to identify themselves.

Maybe I've been reading too many books. Or maybe there is a good reason this guy was a federal agent. :D

Papa1stuff · February 24, 2011, 11:13:08 AM

Another blindside Matt got the boot!! ;D

Raider Bill · February 24, 2011, 11:34:08 AM

I would have kept him and kicked his girlfriend off. He was a physical player for the challenges.

Russell is probably going to regret flat out lying to Ol Rooster about the hint. At least I hope so.

clww · February 24, 2011, 11:34:40 AM

Matt getting the boot WAS a surprise.
Secret agent man still needs to GO! AND QUICKLY, TOO!

Cedarman · February 24, 2011, 01:19:47 PM

Let's see how O'l Rooster plays his secret immunity idol. Can he keep his mouth shut? This series has huge potential to be quite entertaining. Has Russell met his match? Agent man could go to the final. Would any jurist vote for him? This show can go in 30 directions.

WDH · February 24, 2011, 07:22:32 PM

I may need to reevaluate the Agent man.

So is he a "federal agent" or a "special agent"?

One of my high school classmates became a cop after graduating. When I met him at a class reunion 15 years later, he handed me a business card that showed his official title as "special agent". Turns out after 10 years with the police, he got hired away to an insurance company to do fraud investigations. Not what you might think of as a "special agent" :D.

Oh he's special alright. :D He keeps saying Federal Agent. I still think he worked at a airport frisking passengers or checking bags.

Jeff · February 25, 2011, 07:57:55 AM

He has said Federal Agent, he has also said special agent, and then this past week, he talked about "wearing the uniform"

isawlogs · February 25, 2011, 08:52:41 AM

Is a straight jacket a uniform

???

gary · February 26, 2011, 07:10:06 AM

I don't think that Boston Rob thought about redemption island before booting Matt off. If he wins there and comes back it could bite Rob in the butt.

mrcaptainbob · March 02, 2011, 11:31:36 PM

I would love to see Redemption Island end up with Russell and Boston on at the same time!!! It is possible! Now THAT would make for some great TV!!

WDH · March 03, 2011, 07:17:39 AM

Half of your wish has been granted.

Roxie · March 03, 2011, 09:32:34 AM

Last night was one of the best episodes ever! These people know how to play the game, and it sure isn't boring. Throwing the challenge to force Tribal Council was a stroke of brilliance. Now, Russell goes up against Matt (and the winner goes up against anyone else that get's voted out before the merge) at Redemption Island. Wow. Matt is the nice guy and Russell the ultimate bad boy.

This season is great! 8)
