Survivor Gabon: Season Premiere - Sept 25 2008 Results

Survivor Gabon: Season Premiere - Well here we go with another season of Survivor. No sense in waiting for anything...here we go...

The players are introduced right off the bat. A wide range of people and personalities. This could be an interesting season. The teams are then picked. Kota, the yellow team, and Fang, the red team. After the teams are picked, it is pretty clear that maybe things aren't that even. Fang does not seem all that strong...could mean trouble.

So now the teams are picked and there is a challenge. The teams are told by Jeff that they must climb a very steep hill where 2 immunity idols sit..one for each team. The first member from each team up the hill will receive an idol and immunity for when they choose to use it. Also, the first team to reach the top of the hill will receive an extra bag of food.

To make a long story short, GC from Fang and Marcus from Kota reach the top of the hill. Very quickly we see some dominance as Kota kicks Fang's ass to the top, so they get the bag of food.

The teams head to their new camps and we some people taking on the leadership role. Ace, the photographer, from Kota has taken control over there. On the Fang team there has been no one that has really take a step forward.

After an elephant almost crashes through one of the camps and Randy from Fang cuts his head, we head to the first Immunity challenge. Each team is to choose 6 players who will be tied together and then have to go through an obstacle course. Once they get through the course they have to dig 3 bags of puzzle pieces out which the other 3 members must put together.

Through the obstacle course it is a dead heat, but once they get to the digging it is over. Kota finds their first bag quickly and they never look back. They get their bags and are off and by the time their puzzle is put together, Fang has barely made it the top of the hill.

Back at camp after the challenge, we see the members of Fang starting to play the game. Most are picking Michelle, the snotty bitchy one, to go. Michelle and the professional gamer, Ken, are talking about Gillian, the 60 year old retired nurse. Who will it be?

Turns out Michelle has pissed off enough people that she gets the distinction of being the first person voted out of Survivor Gabon.

Well since this is a special two hour episode we go straight to the Fang camp where they start there fire and bullshit for a little bit. Nothing too exciting.

Then we head to Kota, where things are going very smoothly and we get to see the resident gay guy (sorry anyone who is offended by that) Charlie, who seems to be salivating over Marcus as he keeps going on and on about their new alliance.

Back to Fang where things seem to be going down hill as the teams new appointed leader, GC, is making some really stupid decisions and may just lead the team to disaster or illness. The resident dick, Randy, seems to think that he is going to lay back and watch everyone crash and burn. I guess we will see...

Back from commercial, we just see more shit going down at each camp...alliances made, GC quitting as leader...and so on.

To another immunity and reward challenge. They have to roll a ball to some keys where then roll to a number of chains which are to be unlocked and then the roll to the finish line. The winning team gets some fishing gear and gets to send someone to Exile Island.

Neck and neck all the way...Kota has taken the lead once they get to the chains. They are the first team past the chains but once they get to the end they must put their ball on a stand which they struggle with. Before Fang gets there though, Kota is able to get it up and win Immunity for the second time in a row.

Now Kota has the business of sending one the Fang members to Exile Island. They choose Dan...the muscle bound lawyer.

We get to see Kota after the challenge and things are all hunky dory. Yaayy...Then to Exile Island...Charlie says it was stupid for Kota to send him to the Island because he is a smart fella which he will use to find the hidden immunity idol there. He has some troubles..not such a smart fella after all.

To the loser camp..Fang. Pretty happy they didn't get there ass kicked this time around and now they are discussing who is getting booted. But they do have some success...they create some fishing gear from stff in camp and are able to catch some fish!! Dan comes back and is acting funny. The team thinks he has the idol.

Because of Dan's weird behaviour, the team is looking at him instead of Gillian. Hhmmm..lets see what happens at Tribal Council.

To the TC and they chat a bit about leadership and to Dan. Crystal, the former Olympian, makes a comment about him having it and he dumps his bag to prove that he doesn't.

Voting time!! The second person voted out is Gillian!!

Good episode...looking forward to next week!
