Mammoth post coming up… (by which I mean it's hella long, not that I'm doing Survivor: The Stone Age)
Nineteen Survivor legends and Francesca Hogi have come to the Philippines (or maybe Cambodia) (Nicaragua? Is that it?) to compete in the ultimate game of wit, skill and endurance. Ten of them are former winners – players who know the taste of glory, but won’t know how it feels to crash and burn. The other ten all fell short of the million dollars – they've experienced defeat and heartache, but it’s their failures that have given them the hunger they need to fight for the title. The champions have a serious reputation to upheld; the challengers have the opportunity to build a new one. geWho will have the greatest legacy? Only one of them can win (our hearts) (looking @ you Jon) and be crowned the winner of Survivor: Millenia- I mean Champions vs. Challengers….

The season doesn't get off to the greatest of starts, as Francesca Hogi spends the majority of the first day beating the living crap out of Jeff Probst for not putting her on the Champions tribe. Once it is explained to Francesca that the seasons don't air in reverse order, she calms down...

Nb: I also wanted to cast Sophie from South Pacific on the Champions tribe but
she looks like Dougie from McFly now and that’d just confuse everyone. Hence Michele.
