Yeah, the new season is nothing special. I'm happy they scrapped Redemption Island though. The women are all idiots - they know they're going to be on Survivor, but none of them learn how to make a fire, or a half-decent shelter?
As for the men, they seem to have had their shit on lock, but they're all boneheads it seems. I don't know to what extent this is all scripted, but if this is the creme of the crop - all the casting agents should be fired.
On the other hand, I do like Troyzan (I think is his name), he's the only one that seems to have some kind of personality. Colton, I don't even know where to start, he's like the stereotypical homosexual, flaming to the point where I think he's scripted and embellishing it.
I'd like to see a Survivor one day with older people (as in 35+ perhaps) that have actual woodsman/survivalist experience
