Survivor again

The newest season of Survivor started again last night. The first Jeff Probst blog is up here. He writes about Russell, who has potential to be the biggest villain in Survivor history.
Two things, there is no better show on TV for capturing the sneaky side of humanity than this one. You've got backstabbing, false faith, real friendships and shocking betrayals. It's all captured on TV and you get a great view of all of it. (Any fan of Diplomacy can see the crossover appeal.)
And speaking of views (and this is the other thing) it looks absolutely incredible in HD. They decided to shoot the whole thing with the newer TVs in mind. Survivor scouts for beautiful locations. This season is shot in Samoa. They've done many other spots in the South Pacific and all of them look great. This looks like no exception.

We taped it & are watching it tonight - I can't wait. It's going to be hard to top Coach!

Meigan, Coach has been topped. Well, maybe. Anyway, they have quite a character on this season.
