Survivor: Guatemala Recap Number One

Wow.  A great start to this season, even with one of the weaker group of personalities in recent history. 

Some quick thoughts:

• The opening challenge was brutal.  It stands as the most physically demanding opening, but the most entertaining as well.
• How lucky is Nakum that they have Margaret?
• Speaking of injuries, is Blake faking it?  If so, from what point did he start faking it?  I can't imagine somebody with a "separated" shoulder being that good at physical competitions.  But if he is faking it, he's doing a good job in being able to vomit whenever he wants.
• Regardless of whether Blake is faking it or not, he better get "better" quickly.  He's drawing a lot of enemies.
• What was with the second immunity challenge?  Why was a team able to re-use somebody more than once?  Also, wouldn't you feel if the line has gone slack?  If
• Nakum made the obvious boot.  What confused me was why Jim voted for Margaret.  Was it really luck of the draw like he claimed?
• On the other hand, I don't understand Yaxha's decision.  Unlike the bloggers over at CBS, I was also surprised that Yaxha was thinking of getting rid of Stephanie.  She's a threat for individual immunity, granted, but I can't see her being a dominant threat.  Ultimately, she strikes me as somebody who you can bring to be on the jury before cutting her loose.  With that said, I still don't understand how anybody didn't come up with Rafe as a possible target.  The guy couldn't climb up a ladder and you're looking at one of the women as a possible target?  Lydia was trying to catch fish, and Morgan could be useful in a future challenge (whether it be because of her balancing skills - as I believe Amy pointed out - or because of her weight if there is one of those "carry your teammate" challenges).

Week 3 stuff to come sometime over the weekend.
