I'm not sure if this is the right place (it fits the best to me), so please move/lock as desired.

Anyways, this topic is about the new season of Survivor.

Now, I'm not a huge Survivor fan. I've only watched Seasons 4-7, and I had a falling out with the series. However, what caught my eye this Season was a competitor by the name of Ken Hoang. Now, you might not know who I am talking about, but if you have even played Super Smash Bros. Melee, you should. Considered a legend among legends, I am talking about the man who is arguably known as the best Smasher in the world. Yes, THAT Ken. I had absolutely no idea he was on the show until I noticed an Asian guy named Ken who was a professional gamer on one of their commercials. I was like "Nah, it can't be THAT Ken." Sure enough, it was.

Anyways enough about Ken, discuss this season however you want. I'm rooting for Ken all the way though.

KEN SITTING ON A ROCK SOMEWHERE IN AFRICA

i know all about this guy and i've even seen him in rl so this is about as strange and random as it gets

it's funny though. save for like, some track and field athlete, ken's the only contestant with his own wikipedia article

A Survivor topic that isn't started by me???!!!! DOES.NOT.COMPUTE.

I've watched since the beginning and am a huge Survivor addict. I can list of anything Survivor-related, and I use to be a part of the spoiling community up until Exile Island. I now watch mainly to enjoy the show since spoiling has become less of a collective mindgame and more of a blatant list of information that some person gives out.

I've been watching Survivor from the start too (minus Australia), I don't remember much before Pearl Islands, aside from the really important players.

To be honest, Mateui, I was wondering what you'd have to say about this :p Seeing how you are arguably the biggest reality show fan ever. While I'm not a big fan of Survivor, I religiously follow shows like BB and TAR, don't ask why. o_O

Ive only watched Fans VS Faves and.. Cook Islands. Cook Islands because I'm Samoan and FVSF because it was actually interesting.. Plus Parvati is fine haha. This season won't come out here for a while as New Zealand is always late with these shows.

I always root for the bitch/whore of the season. They're fun. We haven't had a good one since Ami (her original season -- she sucked the second time around).

man that Ken guy... He'd annoy me just talking about--anything, that I'd take it in my hands to form a massive alliance of everyone vs. him to get the first vote completely united on his tribal fire thing. Mannnn that video annoyed me.

I think it's funny that Courtney got away with saying a lot awful and shitty things that would've made anyone else the most-hated of the season.

She was great.

a couple of my friends are HUUUGE smash brothers guys. they were like number 2 and 3 in the state at melee at one point. they've hung out with ken before or something and they're TOTALLY AMPED for survivor. i don't really get it as much as they do but it's interesting that they sort of know the dude.

so i'm probably gonna end up watching this season with them. never watched survivor before, but who knows

But even he was portrayed as the "nerdy Asian" towards the end of the season.

But the Asian on China, Frosty, wasn't stereotypical at all. I didn't like him because he was kind of boring, but he seemed like he'd be cool in RL.

The female Asians on Survivor are ALWAYS hot though. But they end up being total mutes (except Peih Gee<3).

Here is what I think of when I think of Survivor Asian women:

"STUPID, STUPID PLAYERS!!!!

"

"^_^!"

"PLEASE PLAY WITH ME. WHY WON'T YOU ACCEPT ME?? *kicks ass*"

"WUT?? HUH?? I GUESS NOT ALL ASIANS ARE SMART AND CUTE. I AM PROOF"

"..."

Okay...

Anyways, LOL Ken fails. Tries to hook up with the only hot girl in his tribe only for her to get voted off first for being a psycho bitch.

I've gotta say, this looks to be one of the worst seasons yet. I can't find even one person remotely likable. Ken is annoying, Charlie's after dick, and that Ace guy is too arrogant.

I don't have a favourite yet, which is kind of disappointing, but I'm not giving up on this season. Simply the fact that they can't have endless "swim to the puzzle pieces and bring them back, then solve the puzzle" challenges makes this season better challenge-wise. I was so happy to see the return of the giant ball challenge from season 3.

Oh, I loved the following quote:
"I'm straight. We're in Eden. There are no two Adams here."

Charlie is so getting strung by Marcus. He's lost the game already.

Ken made a tactical error so early in the game (by spending too much of his time with an outcast and thereby making himself into one as well) but I think he'll recover.

Fang is an idiotic tribe. I hope they continue to crash and burn.
