Had to record it tonight, but I did get it set up to record and just finished watching. IMHO, it's off to the best start of any of those I've watched -- Austrailia was my favorite, but I didn't get into it until about 6 or 7 episodes, so I can't say how this compares. But it's the first season since Australia that right away I've got several that I care for and none that I absolutely hate from the beginning. It's worth trying a few more weeks.
Some great laughs, lots of

moments (especially with the guys. But, girls, c'mon -- clean BUFFS are more important than shelter???

) Excellent challenge, and I'm really interested to see how the Deaf girl does (it typically takes me 3-4 eps to catch names -- was hers Christy?). I felt so sorry for her and would hope that if I were in a tribe with her, I'd make more of an effort to spend time with her and make sure she was included.
And I'm really impressed with the shelter the guys put together. Very nice job -- now if only the girls would get going and get more done on theirs...
I also loved how the girls were the first to *honestly* catch fish -- so what if it was the size of a goldfish, it *was* a fish!
Hopefully I can get the VCR to work next week, too.
