Empty Island

Exile Island? More like Empty Island. There is nothing on the island worth looking for. But at least this season's island has coverage, unlike last season's. So when it rains the Survivors will have something to sleep under and keep themselves dry. But still, if the idol(s) are back at camp, then both idols are not on Exile Island, and therfore the island is just....punishment.

Also I loved how no one knew what was inside the box (which Jeff dropped from a plane and into the sea) (nice one Jeff) but they all had a go at smashing the box against a rock to open it. There could have been breakable items inside (wine/ food/ etc.) but no one cared or thought of it as they hurled a boulder at it and lashed it against a rock. I know it was dropped from a height and into water but still, the stuff inside could have been carefully wrapped inside, but lashing it against a rock... a big no, no. Anyway who opens a wooden box with a rock??? They were given tools to construct a shelter, yet no one thought to use a hammer or crowbar, or machete to open the box.

But its going to be an exciting series. A diverse range of people. Rocky's nickname suits him perfectly. He is the spitting image of Sly. I'm not too sure about the Have and Have Not Survivors yet. It's still early days. At the moment after just one episode, I'm going for either Erica (Afro haired girl) or Yau Man to win.

Who do you think?

An island solely for punishment? that sounds like fun! if only we could vote who we'd like to send there...

re: smashing the box. weren't the directions to all the tools & stuff inside the box? and therefore, unattainable until they'd opened the box. which is some weird metaphysical quandary or something, like if Boo falls in the jungle, and there's no-one there to hear it, does he make a sound...
