Well, here we go again...
It might have just been my frame of mind at the time, but the opening episode of the new series left me feeling flatter than normal.
The opening scenes with the tribal ceremony were contrived to the max and provided a sexist and pretentious introduction to the latest round of hostilities...
I also can't say that I found any of the contestants particularly likeable (maybe the guy with the artificial leg), and felt that most of the guys came across as twobob redneck hicks.
You can bet dollars to donuts that the token black guy will be sent on a long walk down a short road, toot-sweet; and in the female tribe, its hard to know who is more irritating, the young lass who blathers-on 24/7 without ever saying anything worthwhile, or the old bird who sanctimoniously prattles-on about the youngsters not carrying their load and working 15 hour days???!!!
Yeah, I pretty much loathe 'em all, but its not as if its a popularity contest...
Let the backstabbing begin.
