You wanna be tough, better do what you can, so beat it.

I decided, that in addition to posting my thoughts about life, I will make a point to update this blog every Thursday night to give my commentary on "Survivor: Samoa". Also, last season's runner-up, Stephen Fishbach, will keep commentary on people.com with his thoughts on strategic moves. Stephen was my favorite from last season, and I have talked to him on his Twitter, he's very nice. To read his blog on people.com, go here.
So tonight kicked off with 20 castaways. Host Jeff Probst told the each tribe to vote for their designated leader. Foa Foa (wearing yellow) voted for Mick, and Galu (wearing purple) voted for Russell S. (there are two Russells this season). Then each tribe leader picked castaways participate in a challenge. Foa Foa won the challenge and won flint to light a fire.

When the challenge was over, each tribe went to their respecitive campsites. On Foa Foa, Russell H. made two alliances: his dumb girls alliance and a partnership with fellow castaway Betsy. That night he lied about being a part of Hurricane Katrina, dumped out all the castaways' canteens of water, and burned a castaway's socks. Stephen mentioned on his blog that Jeff Probst said that Russell was "the closest thing to evil we've ever had on Survivor". And so far, he's proving to be pretty bad.

At the Immunity Challenge, Foa Foa fell behind in the beginning, caught up in the final stage, but ultimately fell short to Galu. Before Galu went back to their campsite, Jeff gave them flint. Before their tribal council, castaway Marisa told Russell that she was worried about him, which made Russell feel he could not trust her, and he convinced everyone to vote her out.

At Tribal Council, Jeff asked Betsy who he thought the weakest player was so far, and she said Ashley. Ashley stuck up for herself, but Betsy still voted for her. Ultimately it was Marisa who went home with a vote of 7-3. Since it was just the first episode, I didn't have much of an impression on Marisa besides the fact that she was quick on her feet (her tribe's leader, Mick, designated her the "most agile" for her team) and very pretty. So peace out Marisa. I'm sorry I didn't see much of you.

So there's my rant of the night. Keep checking back each week for my Survivor commentaries, and my other posts featuring movie reviews, my thoughts on life, and occasionally some videos/random posts.

Love y'all,
