Location, location, location! Once again CBS Survivor reality TV show picks the most fascinating, obscure location. Gabon, Africa, also called "The Last Eden" is located on the west coast of central Africa. It is actually on the equator with 85% of the country covered by rain forest. It makes for a striking backdrop for the latest installment of the Survivor saga.

The Season premier did not disappoint. Two hours, two teams, three challenges and two tribal councils, all in one night. The first challenge was very early in the night and wasn't even close. The Kota tribe easily beat the Fang tribe in a reward challenge for extra food. The Fang tribe went on to lose two immunity challenges during the evening and has already had to vote off two of its players. Fang is clearly already the underdog.

The first player voted out was Michelle. With only one friend she seemed to have no interest in her tribe, calling them "the dumbest people on earth". She was an easy target for the first Tribal Counsel. The second person voted out, and possibly the loudest snorer, was 61 year old Gillian. The tribe felt that Gillian was the weakest member of the tribe after having to push her up a hill on the first challenge.

Dan, a 32 year old lawyer from Boston, Massachusetts, was the first player to visit the infamous exile island. It is a large island this year and Dan spent hours looking for the hidden immunity idol without even getting in the ballpark. As a new twist this season, the player that goes to Exile Island is given a choice between an evening of "luxury" and the clue as to the whereabouts of the idol. No doubt Dan is wishing he had made another choice.

The Fang tribe also saw the medical support team very early this season. Randy cut his head open the first night on the island and wanted Gillian (a nurse by profession) to look at it. Keep in mind the tribe doesn't have fire yet and it was the middle of the night. Gillian attempted to look at the injury but could barely see Randy, much less his injury. The medical team came in and sewed up the cut with several stitches and wrapped a bandage around Randy's head.

On the Kota tribe, members were busy forming an early alliance. Charlie the gay lawyer and Marcus the straight doctor formed the first obvious bond. Possibly one of the most amusing scenes of the evening was watching Charlie visibly drool over the poor straight guy who just wants an alliance. The two soon added Jacquie and Corinne to their alliance.

The first evening started out with the usual confusion over who would be a leader and who was just bossy. Adding plenty of bickering, alliance building, and people showing skin, it should be another fascinating season for Survivor fans.
