So Long Ceci, We Hardly Knew Ya! Really, We Hardly Knew Ya
Buffs Off!!!!
Who could have imagined it would be so soon? Thank you Jeff Probst, thank you. Such happy words.
The tribes have been shuffled and remixed. Best of all, just like gym class, people had to suffer the indignities of being picked last. There really isn't ever enough suffering on the island.
So now we've got Aitu and Raros redux. Supplies have been divied up, and new alliances are forming. Some romances have been snuffed out, but some new ones may be getting started.
Another great night from the Cook Islands.

Too Loud? Too Old! Too Lazy? Too bad!!
Goodbye Billy. Even though your soul is metal, your action is all slacker. Maybe you can help revive grunge.
Next stop though, a power ballad for Candice. Say what!?!?!?! That's right, love is in the air. At least in the airy dreams of a young man's imagination.
There's no stopping the surprises on the Cook Islands.
We've also got hapless attempts at fire, classic Looney Tunes chicken traps, and more bad wind!! (Will we get good wind? Does anyone know what good wind is? Is bad wind contagious?)

Survivor Cook Islands - Critics Pull Your Heads Out of Your Asses!
What's all blabbing about? Why does dividing up 4 teams of human beings according to race gather any more attention than dividing teams along gender or age lines?
If you're a long time Survivor fan, you already know that the division of teams is meant to create controversy and keep the show interesting - duh. In the end will race matter? Who knows? Does age or sex? Why is one any more controversial than another?
Get over it folks - it's a reality TV show. The weak (or dumb) almost always leave the game early. And in the case of Survivor, throats will be slit much faster over money than the color of skin - or age - or gender!

You Said Your Name was What? Who?
How is it that this motley crew ended up on the remote Cook Islands, and who gave them access to a broadcast station?
How is it they have such a fascination for Survivor: Cook Island? What is it about Survivor that inspires so much from so few?
Will they ever find the chicken?
Your quartet of the odd fills in a little bit of their back story in this 'round the mic chat.

Sekou OUT! And We'll See You in Spirit Land
Survivor: Cook Islands is on! They're off the boat and they've stormed the beaches. The Tribes are set; Taki, Puka, Raro, Hiki. Buffs are on and so's the game.
Too bad Sekou's on his way home. He knew his team had a lot of spirit - they just didn't seem to have a lot of skill this week. At least now they got their flint and there is one less mouth to feed.
I think the free range chickens are happy about that too. (Although I wish they'd have caught the bastards before they left the islands, because I can't stand hearing them at the crack of dawn!! I haven't got enough Kesslers left to help me sleep through that.)
With Week 1 down we know thievery is going to happen, spooning is going to happen, team Puka better have a bonfire raging by next week and team Tiki living way, WAY, under the radar.
Clear the bad winds (but you might want something for the wicked bruise between your eyes) and let's keep this sumbitch rolling.
