Damn...they didn't push Jeff Probst out of the helicopter.

Somehow I missed the segue from the Super Bowl postgame to the beginning of Survivor: You Didn't See These Idiots Enough the First Time They Were On This Dumb Show. Suddenly there's a bunch of helicopters and boats mounting what looks like a re-enactment of Iwo Jima, but with a lot fewer people and no guns. No, I'm not suddenly becoming a Survivor viewer. I feel guilty enough about catching the equivalent of four complete episodes of the damned thing's last incarnation, but it seems odd to me to have an "All-Star" edition -- could Richard Hatch or one of the other people who have already won the show once actually end up with another million-dollar prize? That seems odd. It seems to me that they should have brought back all of the people voted off on the very first day of each previous edition, seeing as how they only got about 198 seconds of total screen time before getting the boot in their prior incarnations.
