I think this is great. I would back Greg up. Sorry not financially but I support him

This isn't really a response, but hey, why don't they just call this Survivor Los Angeles? There are fifty states and half of these people are from CA....

Marisa is a F'ing moron. I already hate her. Why does she think she is so pretty? Looks like Howdy Doodey in drag.

WHY is there always at least one vulture...I mean one person in drug pushing...I mean pharmaceutical sales? They are the bottom feeders of the world! I mean that seriously! They hang around doctors' offices offering them trips, I mean opportunities to attend conferences that just happen to take place at exotic locales, if they prescribe enough of their company's drugs to unwitting patients. It's DISGUSTING. As a nurse and daughter of someone who died as a result of irresponsible prescribing of psychoactive medication I loathe pharmaceutical sales people, so obviously I hope eye candy Natalie is voted off first!

I figured they would film this season in West. Samoa as opposed to American Samoa. Western Samoa is much more beautiful than the latter.
W.Samoa is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I have many families there. I wonder what island they are filmimg on, Upolu or Savai'i...

I agree, Marisa is a MORON!! She is clueless and will probably go home early.
Mandy at 6:57PM on Sep 25th 2009
Haha good call on the moron going home and first to boot
Lisa at 1:09AM on Sep 4th 2009
wow, go figure...almost half of them are from Los Angeles. not regular everyday people from small towns, or even the center of our country or the east coast - 1 from NYC - well that network never plays fair anyway.
