Survivor IS BACK!!!

__Contains Minor Spoiler about the First Episode__ Only 2 episodes into Survivor:Palau and its already more interesting than Vanuatu, In my opinion. Survivor: Vanuatu was disappointing mostly because of the bland cast, and Survivor:All Stars was both over-hyped and predictable, but I'm happy to report that it seems that Survivor: Palau will rank up there with the best versions of the show. One criticism I have with the show is how they got rid of two people off the bat- I just think it was really unnecessary. Thus far, the cast seems great and I especially like the Koror or "the bad-news bears tribe". The people I'm rooting for: Tom, Coby, Ian and Stephenie. That would be a FANTASTIC final four, wouldn't it?
