Survivor: Mind games and blindsides at their best

'Survivor', the great reality television show returns with a bang, Fans vs. Favorites began last night. And from the get go attitudes began to appear and those who have before battle came back believing that this time around, others won’t catch up with their shenanigans and senseless behavior.

One of these characters is Phil, who just rambles on and on without making sense and believes himself to be a master manipulator and prides himself in being something other than a simple man who is just delusional. The show began with a competition for flint and a bag of beans, and Favorites won this one and felt themselves unbeatable, however, later came the immunity challenge and Fans pulled from behind and took the much sought after immunity idol.

Then, it was time for tribal council and many spoke of previous altercations and disagreements, likes and dislikes, but they were all unanimous in the fact that once tribal council time arrives no one in reality is safe and minds can be changed in the blink of an eye and anyone can be blindsided. And just that took place, when Francesca, who was the first to be voted her first time around, again last night was the first to be sent packing.

'Survivor' runs on Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on CBS, and just like previous seasons this one promises to bring much twists and turns as these competitors seek to win 1 million dollars and the title of 'Survivor'.
