I love it. Survivor is about people more than anything else. It's a social experiment and never gets old.

I didn't either. I thought the whole idea was pretty stupid - but Kitty introduced me to it years ago and I got hooked pretty quickly.
There were arguments in my house about what we were watching on Thursday nights. My sister would throw fits because Mom, Dad and I all wanted to watch Survivor which was directly up against Friends which my sister wanted to watch. She'd walk through the living room on commercial breaks from Friends rolling her eyes and scoffing.
She finally started watching Survivor after Friends ended. I think she simply refused to watch the show and claimed to hate it because she wasn't getting her way. Can't prove it, but that's what I think.

It hasn't gotten old for me.

Yeah, I'm pumped!
I do hope though, that since everyone knows everyone's game play, that all the good/interesting people don't get voted off so quickly.

Let's get real, you just don't want Joe to be voted off first. 
I think there are enough players here that we're guaranteed to have a good post-merge group, and even if all the "interesting" (in the past) players get voted out, the remaining "uninteresting" players might be making a new name for themselves. For example, Keith might redeem himself for me this season and not be boring and clueless. Woo might actually, you know, play this time around.

I think the older Kelly is really boring. I was surprised she made it on.
Keith was just entertaining to watch. I liked it when he was talking to Jeremy I think, and he was like "I ain't been further north than Arkansas" in his extreme southern/hillbilly accent lol.

I liked Kelly Wiglesorth. She's all grown up now, though.

Yeah... I'm unsure about her. On the one hand, all her campaigning stuff pre-vote seemed like she was very wishy-washy about playing, but other players would talk about getting together with her to practice aspects of challenge and that she has a pre-game alliance set up...
I also wonder if she made it on the season because she was a season one contestant and a runner-up.
I can't actually remember if I voted for her or not.

Meh... there were entertaining aspects to Keith, but I'd have to rewatch his season to formulate a better opinion and his season isn't on hulu.  From what I remember, he had no idea what he was doing or how to play and while he had some entertaining moments ("Stick to the plan!"), he rubbed me the wrong way. He's one that I was "meh" on getting back on and now that he's on I'm hoping he wins me over.
I'd trade Shane Powers or Troyzan for Woo in a heartbeat, though. Except, apparently, Shane was talking about targeting Stephen...

Is there a link to the cast? I've seen two myself, butthey contradicted.
