Survivor

[gaea]

I do not know who all watches Survivor however i am an avid fan and have watched every season ...

Starts today im super excited this is like my football lol.

I would so enjoy interacting with other fans

who will you root for?

[Abigail Crabby]

Oh yes I will be dvr-ing so I can watch when I get home. Avid fan, I've watched this long distance on demand with friends so we could critique and pick our favs lol

[gaea]

woo hoo for another fan!

I will probably pick my favorite today based on personality...

I was never a fan of the dragon slayer lol he is out immediately

[Rockinonahigh]

Another fan hear,big time,everythng stops hear when the show comes on.I even changed my pool team nights so it wouldnt be a night to play when the show is on.I watched the promos of the show this dose look intresting .

[Dutch Leonard]

Gosh, is it that time again? I've been a fan since the first one and can't bear to miss it.

[Delish]

BIG fan here!!! I DVR'd the preview they have been showing on the tv guide network and about to watch that but tonight will be when I pick my fav. The slayer is out for me too. One I "think" that might be interesting to watch will be Russell's nephew. I can't wait!!!

[purepisces]

Ozzy is one of my all-time favorite players. I'm so excited he's back! Can't wait to watch the show tonight.

[gaea]

i too cannot wait..

when i watch survivor that's it i ignore everything and everyone until its over lol

i cannot wait for tonight...

I hope we can get some good dialogue here throughout the course of this season.

[jules5041]

Survivor is my #1 guilty pleasure.

Like everyone else who has posted I cannot wait!!!

Although it will be hard to watch with out that Boston Rob eye candy, I will make do. :-)

I too am looking forward to watching Ozzy again and see what Russel's brother has in store for us.

Happy Surviroring!

[gaea]

Is it Russel's brother or nephew?

was this a set up? bring in one of the biggest ass's relatives? ha

every season i hope for a couple of queers on each tribe every season i am denied this lol

[gaea]

Brandon is the nephew

[gaea]

right away I like ozzy and his team, they seem to be bonding well

[gaea]

Cochran is a pansy ass and semhar came off quite the ass at then end I dislike them both ...

[Corkey]

It's nice to see coach hasn't changed a bit. He's still a pompous ass.

[Rockinonahigh]

I so agree,I thought he was ging to have a sissy fit at tribal counsel.Both irratate me.

[Invictus]

I am onboard for the season, thank goodness for the dvr

[Rockinonahigh]

I saw on the quicki clip for next week show that Brandon Was feeling he hadnt been truthfull with coach,well Brandon if tells him who he is it will come back and bite him in the ass.Coach is prolly a nice guy in real life but I see a real snake in the grass...handle with care.

Brandon is an idiot he got the hots for a "girl" on the tribe then decided jesus had something to do with it REALLY? Idiot just like his uncle...I mean really what can we expect from a guy who tattoos his legacy on his neck?

Will she recover from redemption island? Is she mentally strong enough?

I doubt she can beat any one but sissy boy Cockran in any kind of chalenge,unless its riged for the rateings.As for fire if she had a brain cell in her head she would have fire to stay warm and cook if she would just gather wood then light a twig from the lantern she has near by...corse it never enterd her mind.

you know i thought the same thing lmao...just use fire from the lantern unless of course the rules state one cannot do that...

or she can cry

[Rockinonahigh]

If she has accesable fire she can use it if she would stop being such a pissaint.I mean when people go to be on a show like this shurley they dont expect to have an easy time of it..get real hear.

LOL...THERE IS THAT

[Peach]

Like that rancher dude said, if you know you are going on the show, and do not practice lighting fire, or fishing, or take swimming lessons etc....then they do not deserve to be on the show. I like Ozzie, Coach will irritate the crap out of me by show 3, Papa Bear is interesting, Cocrane is well, a paranoid geek, I may end up liking him, we willl see. I just hope they come up with some new challenges!

[luv2luvgirls]

im late to da party :D
I think crocker is a trip... dude the way he ran in the ocean :O roflmfao!

[deb_U_taunt]

I am liking the rancher, so far.

[Dante]

I like Ozzie. He is such a competitor and so good at challenges. Coach should not have come back, but, someone else. At least it's not Russell again, but is it his nephew? I noticed when Jeff announced about the hidden Idol, that he said you must find the clue first. In the past seasons, I remember how Russell kept finding the idol without a clue. Could they have changed this because of him?

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/hstigen/survivor%20south%20pacific/christine.jpg

Ok i didn't get much of a feel for this one untill this week in which she turned my stomach just a tad bit.

As far as Brandon goes with his little pecker hard on for Mikayla and trying to outwit Coach as much as i dislike coach i dislike Brandon even more and i think that Coach made a smart move in saving Mikayla..perhaps next week Brandon will go by by because he already started the same shit his uncle did...oy...

The challenge was a fairly simple puzzle what was up with coachs team????

and Cochran oh what can i not say about him...lol i think he is a pansy for sure...the boy just needs to go and who at that age admits "mommy" still tells him how to conduct himself will mommy do that when he is a lawyer too??? ball up kiddo is all i got to say on that one.

I think this is going to be a very interesting season for sure...

[luv2luvgirls]

I know gaea cochran is just so funny to watch tho.. the first time I seen him when he said to Jeff call me cochran,you call all the great players by thier last name :P I was like listen to this fool lmao.. then he did his david hasselhoff baywatch run into the ocean.. freakin funny!!!!!! I couldnt stop lol at that. but I wanted him to go that first day

now lastnight Christine leaving was good, i did not like her at all... and I have never liked coach, I hate peeps who need to sing thier own praises or who "know" everything :\

so far im digging on makayla for a couple reasons ;)

Lets talk about Mikayla for a moment im kinda of diggen on her to however probably not for the same reasons you are ;)....

That girl isnt afraid of shit, she will climb trees go fishing, and hack a persons nutz off because that is what needs done...i like this about her, i like her drive her willingness and her strength....I dont see her using her body against brandon i think brandon is just a perv....i mean he looks at her as if he is stalking her somehow, she cannot help the body she was born with anymore than he can help his stupidity....

If coach is smart he will get rid of "loco" soon.

Im also hoping she comes out and basically stuns loco...that would be the most hilarious moment ever!
Im also hoping she plays on our side....:)

[deb_U_taunt]

I agree that Mikayla is one to watch out for and I agree about not seeing her using her body. I think Brandon is projecting and needs to go.

[*Anya*]

Brandon is totally projecting! He is attracted to her, doesn't trust himself and wants her gone so he won't be tempted.

Of course, she wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole but that's besides the point. I think he is kind of nuts and will continue to decompensate mentally.

The right person got voted out. Why oh why are they always surprised when they were divisive in the tribes- to get voted out? Clueless. They forget that the game is more social than strategy, especially in the beginning.

Should be a good season.

LMAO well I noticed all her strong points too ;) hehe a lil anyway :D

I would love to see her get to loco.. that boy is all stalker like..

BTW did I say I like the way you think hehe Me too Gaea me too ;)

[Rockinonahigh]

Last night Brandon was like a poor spoiled over grown kid,with a hard on for a hot chick he wont ever begain to handle even if he could even get halfway colse to,then he pulls the im a married man thing shows how much growing up he need to do in real life.Now he has told coach who he is U can bet sooner or later coach will use it against him at some point bu quietly letting the cat out of the bag to some one who will tell everyone on the q.t...I think he is a marked man imho.

[deb_U_taunt]

I agree that telling coach wasn't a smart move. Coach and Russell have history. Did Brandon forget?

[Guy]

I think Brandon would have been better off telling everyone in the beginning that he is a Hanz and maybe gained their trust early on.

Now, eventually, it will be used against him at some point by whomever.

[Dante]

On the other hand, I think Ozzie's tribe rocks. Coach's seems "fractured". I wonder who will win at redemption island? lol

[luv2luvgirls]

Dante i was wondering that myself im placing money on Christine depending on the challenge..

Guy maybe but who knows it could have shut the tribe off of him before he had a chance to make a connection, Russel was a bad ass back stabber and to say your a Hanz is like instant untrust,besides Brandon is all over the place he wants to be secretive yet he cant keep his mouth shut.. and he creeps me out with his lust hate on mikayla

'The devil made him do it' will be his defense in court.

lmfao isnt that every creeps defense? especailly the creepy all about "god and jesus creeps.

his tat says it all "loco"

[Dante]

I like Ozzie's game. He climbed that tree and found the Idol. Looks like they don't have to have the "clue" beforehand after all. I agree with everyone that Russel's nephew is creepy.

[gaea]

Last week it was
Papa Bear
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/hstigen/survivor%20south%20pacific/mark.jpg
I liked him...for all the obvious reasons
Im hoping he can beat christine in the one on one challenge...im hoping he can go all the way...

I do too, I never liked Christine. But I want Papa Bear to come back :D

[gaea]

omg Brandon is such a pansy ass!!!!

good lord stop crying about god already!

[Dutch Leonard]

I thought Brandon was a douche with his "I'm going to be honest strategy" (come on, it's Survivor!) but I started to respect him when he held on as long as he did with the weights.

Then he started in again with that dang crying.

I see him going all the way to the end, in second place. Yes, please, sit by me, so I can win it all!

[Rockinonahigh]

omg Brandon is such a pansy ass!!!!

good lord stop crying about god already!


I thought I would puke when Brandon started his cryin and whining,he is a product of the life he leads..a very obedeant yes person who dose what he is told to do to save his soul...man up is all I can say.

[gaea]

And its Stacey.....
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/hstigen/stacey.jpg

i cannot beleive after holding more than 140 pounds on her ass that they voted her off REALLY? Dumb shits is all i got on this one

Brandon as far as i can see is playing a psychologically f***ed game...he is worse far worse than that of his uncle bring on the tears you fake sob. this is easy to spot as ive met people in real life who do this kind of shit....annoying to say the least.

Coach is just stupid fell right into brandons trap...dumb ass

Ozzie well im losing respect for him

Cochran (name says it all)....may end up with it all....

I wanted Papa Bear to come back however apparently Christine just got lucky as sometimes they do.

I will be pulling for Stacey to whip Christine in next weeks redemption challenge for sure....

Right now I have no favorites which is incredibly odd for the 4th week in....

Do you have a favorite? If so who and why, what stands out the most for you in terms of that person?

[Guy]

I think my balls are shinier and im all about being a girl :)


Aww c'mon, give the poor kid a break. If we were Russell's nephew we would be crying too.

[Rockinonahigh]

I really think Brandon is a pansys ass in the tenth degree, he needs to go home,but I wonder how much if his actions are for real or is it a big sympathy trick he cooked up..

[Abigail Crabby]

I'm finally caught up on past episodes.
omg would someone just vote off brandon before he drowns everyone with his crocodile tears.

I have no favorites either, I'm not too impressed with anyone.

They voted off the strongest woman in their tribe, so you can betcha their going to be losing more challenges.

I hope Stacy wins and comes bak and kicks some ass.

I am hoping Stacy comes back, too. BUT even after saying this, I am with a few of you and not finding a favorite.

[Dante]

I agree ....Brandon is a loser and a psycho. I never liked Coach, but, I like him better this season. One of my all time favs is Ozzie. He really is outstanding at challenges, AND he has the Idol.

[gaea]

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/hstigen/elyse.jpg

And its Elyse....who would have ever thought that??????? OMG lol

That was by far the most disgusting challenge i have ever seen and only a 2 oz separation....I would not have eaten that pork...i don't care how well they cleaned it or cooked it...puke...blech

It was a great blindside lmao

however kudos to cochran for that????
if so can i just say we just might have a game going on and its about time...ozzy was blindsided as well and as well he should have been he thought he had the game wrapped up without ever playing it...just spitting out orders and sleeping ok so he is a good fisher person....

I still do not like brandon he is is uncle all over again.
coach is annoying

Kudos to Christine...maybe she will beat Elise next week...

im still chuckling over this early blindside.

You are not even kidding! The challenge was disgusting. gag me ... Ozzie needs this wake up call if he expects to glide through. Something likeable about Cochran (maybe the underdog).
Still sick of Brandon also. Would he please stop crying ???

[*Anya*]

I think cousins are marrying cousins in the Hantz family. Brandon is not playing with a full deck, if you know what I mean! His screws are very loose!

He just is a tormented soul and a big crybaby!

Hey, a new drinking game (beer/wine/ coco-whatever) and every time Brandon cries- we all have to take a drink of ETOH. He cries so much, that you would be legally drunk within 30 minutes of watching him boohoo. Plus he really needs an ass-whooping (as they say down south). He would love to get spanked but then would cry because god wouldn't like that he liked it ( well loved it).

Bye Brandon, Be off with you now:jester:

Got to go to sleep before I think about Brandon one minute longer.

hahaha to the ass whoppin Id like to watch Mikayla deliver that

[gaea]

And its Mikayla
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/hstigen/mikayla.jpg

omg they are so stupid i cannot believe this tribe...Brandon should have already been gone.

and Christine woo hoo she beat Elyse...yay...i hope she comes back to kick some serious arse ...secretly this one is becoming a favorite.

I know! He needs to go! They need to start using some strategy. Coach and Ozzy act like they are afraid of everyone and always worried about getting voted off.

[luv2luvgirls]

I want Christine to come back,and cause havoc :D She is the one I like now

[gaea]

OMG its ozzy
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/hstigen/ozzy_s23.jpg

oh holy hell was that ever the biggest move either by ozzy or cochran (sp) I cant believe what just happened...

woo hoo Christine on getting through one more redemption challenge...I hope she stomps Ozzy's ass in the next one...

Luv, are there any smileys that stomp ass? please find me one ...hahaha

[femmedyke]

I have a heart on for Christine... and hope she totally whoops Ozzie's ass right back off the island.

[Rockinonahigh]

Well Ozzy really did it this time,he may have well met his match,if he dosent win then christine dose go back to the tribe.. hehehehe then what?

[*Anya*]

I have a heart on for Christine... and hope she totally whoops Ozzie's ass right back off the island.

I got to say Ozzy has balls! Got to give him that:)

[scootebaby]

ihave always liked Ozzie..i also think it took balls to throw himself on the stake so to speak...however if they dont have a strength/stamina challenge he may very well have just bought his ticket home.

as for Randy (that the nephew guy right) and Coach blatantly praying to God for the idol,already knowing they had it--unbelieveable!! i really hope they see thru that shit soon and get rid of them! nothing is sacred,and they lie way too easily. i know its part of the game,but still!

[Corkey]

If Benjamin had pushed me on my knees and told me I had to thank a figment of his imagination I think he would be missing a couple of kneecaps.

[Rockinonahigh]

Very well said.

[Peach]

I find it quite repugnant that Coach is using Brandons faith, to get himself through. he KNEW if Brandon found out he already had the idol he would be accusing him of lying etc.....he isnt a "Christian" per se, he has never prayed like that in any other show he has been on, so in my eyes he is using Brandon, and God. Forcing them all into prayer circles, forcing them to kneel etc......he really needs to go, and soon!

[luv2luvgirls]

Dude a punk like that even put his hand on me in that context he would have been licking dirt.

[*Anya*]

That whole prayer circle gagged me. I was glad I TiVo'd it so I could fast forward it. Hypocrites just kill me. Can't abide them.

I am not rooting for any of them yet. Christine is just unpleasant and arrogant.

I agree with you on the hypocrites,I just can not stand Coach at all!!!!

but Christine has grown on me as well as cochran... I was like after the Ozzy thing.. Finally they start to play the game! only took how many weeks :blink:

woo hoo yay thank you :clap:

Next week i hope Christine takes Ozzy out...

Im not digging on those damn prayer circles either and Coach well he is a liar

[Gráinne]

Someone else in another forum wrote: "I think God has bigger things to do than play Survivor".

Not thrilled with all those prayers, either. Do you go along to go along (if you're not Christian), or do you stick out? From the comfort of my own home and not facing a million dollars, I think I call Coach on his hypocrisy and take my chances at being sent to Redemption.

Watch Cochran keep the idol for himself, if Ozzy comes back (which I fervently hope not).

[Dante]

Can hardly wait to see what happens to Ozzy tonight. :byebye:

[Corkey]

Shocker? Nahhh. Saw it coming because of insecurities.

[Gráinne]

Now Ozzy looks like a tool, giving Whitney the idol in anticipation that she was getting voted out, and surprise! That seems like the bigger move than Cochran switching. The idol is gone, and all that gameplay from last episode seems for naught.

As for Cochran, yes a switch, but there have been bigger tricks on that game. And I can't really blame him, since his team was picking on him (except for Dawn) all that time.

[gaea]

So Christine left the Show and the merge happened and oh my my never thought this would happen
and its
Keith
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/hstigen/survivor%20south%20pacific/keith_0.jpg

and oh dear what is it about Cochran dude cant hold a candle to anyone how in hell is he ever gonna be a lawyer?

Im annoyed with this guy hiding behind his fear and insecurities...

Im liking Sasha more and more I really wanted Christine to whip some Ozzy ass however it did not occur like that...So on to another ive been paying attention to..

This was by far the best episode I have ever seen in all 10 years of watching this show.

I believe that it is ultimately going to come down to Ozzy and Coach..which means yet another final show i wont watch.

[scootebaby]

Shocker? Nahhh. Saw it coming because of insecurities.

yeah i cant believe noone saw that coming

[gaea]

And so goes that three of the members now on redemption island are from the same tribe

The double elimination proved interesting tonight

I dislike cochran....I think coach is all wrong and that he just cant see the snake in the grass is cochran and not Dawn.

I really do believe that at the end of the day it will be Ozzy and Coach taking seats 1 & 2 in this, which is by far the best season I have ever watched...

Albert and Sophie do not realize their fates are in cochrans hands they need to make a move soon...

I surely hope that dude doesn't go to the end...although handing him the best most sneakiest game ever sneakier than even Russel Hantz well yes he'd get my vote for that however i wouldn't vote to give him a million bucks for being sneaky.

[luv2luvgirls]

I agree Gaea.. They need to get a clue about cochran. CIJS I cant stand Brandon.. I really dont like that guy..
Its been quite the season :p

I just wish someone would take out Cochran,Coach and Brandon!

and personally its all starting to look sooooooo scripted to me,unlike past yrs!

[Dante]

[QUOTE=luv2luvgirls;460076]I agree Gaea.. They need to get a clue about cochran. CIJS I cant stand Brandon.. I really dont like that guy..
Its been quite the season :p[/QUOTE


I agree Luv2 .....It has been a wacky season! Even Ozzy is making stupid moves. And, why did they put 3 people on Redemption Island??? Brandon and Cochran need to go, but, I think the others are thinking that either:seeingstars: would lose if they were taken to the final 2. and they tend to keep people around for that very reason. :seeingstars:

[gaea]

Wow our first 2 jury members are

Keith and Jim

Ozzy is winning my vote by a long shot right now

The two voted out were

Goodness today was the day to make the move if it were ever gonna be made...

Morons didnt make their move

I still see this in the future of this one
ozzy and coach taking seats 1 & 2

what are your thoughts ????????? irritations etc????

Im highly irritated with #s 5,6,7 sophie, arnold and cochran they had a chance tonight and they blew it where is the courage?

[luv2luvgirls]

G.... I agree with you,im highly irritated by 5,6,7 tonight. Why not go for the big move? its survivor dammit!..

I am hopeing its Ozzy who comes back now and takes em down 1 by 1. we will see I guess

[SugarFemme]

I'll tell ya...it's good to keep Cochran around because he is SOOOOOO annoying that if he goes to the end, he will never win. But it is torture to watch his Woody Allen-ish angst and smugness LOL

[gaea]

And its
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/hstigen/survivor%20south%20pacific/john.jpg

I cannot believe the outright lie cochran told about this birthday being in three days that was 6 months ago...and oh god these tears from brandon goodness me, fake those are !

Go Prince Albert! hahaha...although i have no idea why he n edna watned to save dud that it took this long to get out.

now i like sophie...however im so pulling for ozzy to come back and take it all...

I still have a belief that it will be ozzy and coach at the very end....

Im not sure why they havent brought ozzy back yet...its weird by now usually that person would have come back in the game if i calculate this right there are 4 weeks left hm.

[firegal]

Brandon jesus! he needs to get a grip! The cry baby- i cant deal with sinfull thoughts/temptation tears are getting old.

Cochcran is such a skeerdy cat if he ever passes the bar he better to wear depends in court!

[Gráinne]

I'd bet Brandon hasn't been voted off because he's the perfect contestant to take to the final! Everyone else has a case for being the winner, even if slight. It's easy to say that in my living room; I'd probably have strangled him on the beach the first day ;).

[Peach]

dont forget, lately its been 3 people at the final tribal council. so it could be ozzy, coach and one other.
I am sick to death of cochrane, and was glad he was gone. but ozzy's smugness is not attractive, and so I am not rooting for him anymore, and coach isnt bugging me as much as he did in previous seasons, I think he finally got smart. I like Rick, he is quiet, and just hanging out in the background, I think he will do a big push in the end and maybe take it all. nobody has anything against him, he hasnt jerked anyone around.

one other thing, the HII should be in play again, since is was used, so why isnt anyone looking for it???

Coach has it, and I think everyone knows it by now.

[*Anya*]

Brandon is a loose cannon but a predictable, malleable, nutjob. Coach plays him like a violin. Brandon does not have the brains for strategy.

He will be voted off when he no longer needed.

I agree Coach not nearly irritating this time. Can't decide between Sophie and Coach yet.

Good season!

[Peach]

Coach has it, and I think everyone knows it by now.[/QUOTE]



but there was the other one from efore the merge. Ozzy had it and played it on someone else, so it should have been put back in play.

[SugarFemme]

Thank youuuuu Jebus!!!! Cochran is goneeeeee!!!!! LOL

[*Anya*]

Thank youuuuu Jebus!!!! Cochran is goneeeeee!!!!! LOL

Ya know...I was trying hard to like him. I always, always root for the underdogs but he was just too irritating.

I am sure he was terribly bullied in school and I hate the thought of it. I am sure he is extremely bright but he truly (as someone already mentioned) has watched too many Woody Allen movies.

I can't stand Woody Allen either, since he had an affair with Mia Farrow's adopted daughter under Mia's roof (while still involved with Mia) andvthen he married the daughter, yuc.

So, ergo, Cocharan reminds me of Woody, not in a good way. There was a point in this post somewhere...

Sorry for the digression. Ozzy will mop his ass up in whatever challenge they may have.

[luv2luvgirls]

Im liking Sophie too Anya
I see like Gaea stated Coach and Ozzy for sure in the finale,am hoping Sophie gets there as well

Peach, Coach isnt bugging me as bad this time around either lol..

[gaea]

Im a fan of Ozzy this time around sorry however someone here needs to be lol

look the guy got kicked out because he is a strong competitor..can fish and shit too lol

can't wait to see the twist on how he is brought back in lol

would crack me up to no end if it were the "finale" in which OZZY will undoubtedly be 1 of 3 that would tail spin the hell out of everyone hahaha that i would love to see.

I do like Sophie, and i hope she makes a move with Albert here next week it will be there last shot

Edna even though she is a good little maid ...quite honestly i wouldn't give her a million bucks because she can wash some clothes jees no one has given me a million bucks for my laundry skills...thus she wouldn't get my vote

[Parker]

Glad I found this thread today because I've been itching to talk about this crazy season!

While I am very happy Cochran was voted out, it proved that Coach and his tribe just used the kid and voted him out as the last Savaii member. Kinda makes me wonder what would have happened had he not turned on his own tribe.

And iirc from last season, didn't they bring the person off of Redemption Island just in time to be number 4 - right before the last immunity challenge?

I kinda want Ozzy to take it, but I really like Sophie as well. Hell, I'm just glad Jim is gone because that dude was an ass! ;)

[SugarFemme]

Anya, I am always the first one in line to root for the underdog, but Cochran is just too annoying. There just isn't anything likeable about the kid IMHO. It sounds so mean, but I just couldn't find anything to like about him. YMMV. And Woody Allen, (throws up in my mouth) as talented as he is, theres just something so yucky about him since he started up with his adopted daughter.

I don't remember much of last season at the end i just remember russell irritating the hell out of me..2 freaking seasons in a row...

[Parker]

I don't remember much of last season at the end i just remember russell irritating the hell out of me..2 freaking seasons in a row...

I know right? I remember thinking that he wouldn't have been able to pull his crap a 2nd time if contestants had been able to see his 1st season; because they started his 2nd season (Heroes vs. Villains) before his 1st season aired. They all played before, so they were suspicious of him, but since they hadn't seen him play, they weren't sure.

Of course, when he got to his 3rd season - in a row (last season's Redemption Island), they voted him out FAST!

Probably not great to admit this in public, but who cares - I laughed at him when he cried after losing his duel on Redemption Island - he got what he deserved!

Obviously, I really did not like that guy! lol ;)

i still do not like him and i like his creepy nephew even less.

[Parker]

i still do not like him and i like his creepy nephew even less.

Yeah, his nephew creeps me out huge. All that crying (literally) about having darkness inside you but wanting to be good ..... dude, this is a game, not a revival!:|

[luv2luvgirls]

LMAO thats what I have been saying! Brandon is creepy. His lustfull hatred of Makila was a lil unnerving as well.Dude has some serious issues..just sayin.
I hated russel at first, second season I kinda warmed up just a lil,and I mean just a little bit, it didnt last long. by the end of that season I didnt like him again. Brandon I dislike more then Russel.

[Parker]

LMAO thats what I have been saying! Brandon is creepy. His lustfull hatred of Makila was a lil unnerving as well.Dude has some serious issues..just sayin.

I was originally coming in here to voice how funny it would be to me if Cochran beat Ozzy at this week's duel, but omg I am so glad someone else feels like I do re: that way Brandon acted with Mikayla!

I think the producers saw it too because every time he would talk about what a slut she was (with zero provocation or reasoning btw), they would show us how much he sat there and just stared and stared at her. So. Damn. Creepy.

It was clear to me that he was projecting. He wanted her so badly, that he projected that lust onto her and acted like she was some kind of horrible slut; when in fact she was a good player who could have gone a lot farther in the game imo.

[luv2luvgirls]

woooo tonight is Survivor :cheesy:

woooo tonight is Survivor :cheesy:

me too!!! I like your new sig!

Thank you I like it too :mohawk:

12/7/11

And its
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/hstigen/survivor%20south%20pacific/edna.jpg

The game is finally starting to get interesting I knew coach would approach ozzy ....the two of them and who????

Im gonna root for Ozzy to get all the money period......I like him for the win and it would crack me up to see him get the win against coach and potentially brandon

[Parker]

I don't know - the trailer for next week's episode kinda made it look like Edna might beat Ozzy. Can you imagine?

Also, I thought they were a bunch of cowards tonight voting out Edna instead of Brandon. He is worse than his Uncle Russell and he deserved to get his ass voted to the curb. The argument that he could win at Redemption Island and come back was lame since he has been no good to anyone, including himself, at any of the challenges. They were all just too scared to vote out anyone from their original 5.

So, yeah, assuming Ozzy beats Edna next week, I am still rooting for him; because this Upolu tribe makes me crazy.

[Peach]

After seeing Brandons father last night, I almost felt sorry for the kid. Not so sorry that I want himto stay, but still!

[Parker]

I know right? I remember thinking that he looked like a serious bully who probably works hard at intimidating everyone around him; and I would have loved to have seen the unedited scene when he spoke with Coach because I bet Coach backed down and told the guy everything he wanted to hear! lol

[gaea]

And its
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/hstigen/survivor%20south%20pacific/brandon.jpg
Gosh i have waited weeks for this to post this dudes pic

Bring on the tears and then when at redemption he says "this games not for me man"....wtf???

Anyway im glad he is gone...

Sunday is the finale...woo hoo

Im still pulling for it to be coach and ozzy we will see

[Parker]

So awesome! I actually cheered when they voted his ass off, I was so freaking happy lol. Brandon isn't the first idiot to give up his immunity necklace at tribal, but he's just as stupid as the last guy who did it!

I also hope it is Coach & Ozzy + Sophie at the end & I hope Ozzy wins it.

I was thinking how I really disliked Coach the first time he played, he kinda grew on me the second time he played, and now I kinda like him. lol, weird.

[luv2luvgirls]

I really thought that Edna was gonna pull it off :cheesy:

Gaea i agree Brandon saying at redemption This game is not for me man... what a thing to say. His dad was a bully too

I thought sophie was smart telling coach how Ozzy has been wooing the jury at his little oasis :p I want sophie to surprise a few and make it as one of the finalist

CIJS woooo brandon is at redemption

[Parker]

I really thought that Edna was gonna pull it off :cheesy:

Me too! lol

I was on the edge of my seat for a sec there thinking she might pull it off - that's 2 weeks in a row that someone who was thought to be weak almost pulled an upset on Redemption Island. :|

[*Anya*]

I try not to read this thread until I watch it on my TiVo.

Damn, is Brandon the dumbest mofo ever or what?!! I have only been waiting for him to get voted off since day one but who thought he would be stupid enough to give immunity to Albert?

Didn't see that one coming!

Come on Sophie! Win it for us;)

[Rockinonahigh]

It would be awfull if Brandon was the one to accidently take out Ozzie at redemption,it would have to be an total accident cause Brandon hasnt the ablity to beat Ozzie...Besides there arent enough cying towles around for brandon..they ran out as long time ago.

[Jett]

Hmmm seems my opinion my be an unpopular one... but I've been just waiting to see Ozzy's azz go. It's great to be strong, agile and have great competitiveness... unfortunately he has no class as a human being... eg: even a tiny amount of humility would add to his character, his comments are just a bit bitter for my tastes in people... tasteful zingers are fair if you feel betrayed... but arrogant snipes are just gross. *shrugs*

[Parker]

Oh no, he's a total jackass, that's for sure! His arrogance is what made me dislike so much him the last time he played.

He's only got my vote because I don't want anyone else who is still standing to win, except maybe for Sophie, who I don't think has a chance in hell of winning.

[Parker]

The finale is tonight! :)

Here's where I would put a *popcorn.gif* if I knew how to do that sort of thing ;)

:theisland:

[Rockinonahigh]

So glad I checked on hear,I totaly forgot about tonoght being the last night..I partyed waaayyy to long last night..I need more of this:tea::tea:

[gaea]

Im not positing pictures tonight.....

rick was voted out...

Ozzy won immunity

ozzy got lost in the puzzle challenge wtf?

then Sophie now has immunity

and Coach....honor, integrity he blew smoke up ozzy's arse and then when he could have just done the right thing by Ozzy he simply chose not too..I have no respect for a man that claims honor and integrity and then does something like he did tonight

I didnt even watch the last half of the second hour and i wont watch the third hour because the person i wanted to see win didnt even go to the final three...

I don't think Albert stands a chance however the jury may surprise me so if you know already who won...

post it cause im off to go night night.

Have a blessed week everyone I look forward to next season and lets hope there isnt another hantz cause that family let me just say wow..

Finale's that's just the way it is sometimes they go the way you expect and sometimes not and well that's life as we all know it.

[Parker]

At the beginning of the season, I had 2 people I would have loved to see win and I was pretty sure neither would ever have a prayer of winning. I was right about one but dead wrong about the other.

Sophie won tonight by a landslide and I was happy to see a woman win Survivor because that doesn't happen all that often (Dawn was my other choice - at least she was in the jury!).

I agree with you Gaea - Coach went back on his "word as a Christian man" and I was happy to see him get so few votes. In the end, he knew if he went head-to-head against Ozzy, he would lose, so he tried to go for the win and made himself look like a complete ass.

Albert got -zero- votes and shouldn't have even been up in the final three as far as I'm concerned.

At least at the reunion Ozzy acknowledged what a strong and intelligent player Sophie was and at the very end, seeing them hug was nice because it meant all the "brat" talk was water under the bridge.

Next season looks interesting - they didn't even hint at where it would be but they said that it would be a different game in that both tribes would live in the same place. That could stir up some nice juicy shit to watch week after week because this season was kind of boring. I, personally, like to see dog-eat-dog back-stabbing, drama, fights, emotional breakdowns, and blind-sides in my Survivor ... otherwise, why the hell am I watching? lol ;)

I almost forgot - Russell said that he was not happy with Brandon's play and Brandon said his whole family was disappointed and that they said he didn't live up to the Hantz family name - which says a lot about that fucked up family. Jeff suggested next season have Russell on one tribe and Brandon on the other to duke it out.

[*Anya*]

Come on Sophie! Win it for us;)

I am so happy when smart girls win!

Shouldn't have looked @ this thread because I have not watched the finale yet but had to know who won!

Survivor does surprise sometimes. Glad neither Coach or Ozzie won. Ozzie thought he had it in the bag, didn't he?

Yes, always happy when the intelligent woman wins at anything in this world-including the game of Survivor. :rrose:

[luv2luvgirls]

yay for Sophie .. atleast she got the money instead of Albert.. I cant believe Ozzy lost the last challenge.. poor guy

[Parker]

I cant believe Ozzy lost the last challenge.. poor guy

I know right? I kinda felt bad for him but he blew it all on his own. :doh:

[luv2luvgirls]

I know right? I kinda felt bad for him but he blew it all on his own. :doh:

Yep but thats Survivor :cheesy: Im just glad Albert didnt get the money :mohawk:

[gaea]

Its nice to know a woman won...

would she have if they had let the fire happen?

one will never know it is what it is.

And so it goes, I am looking forward to the next season for sure

[Peach]

At
Sophie won tonight by a landslide and I was happy to see a woman win Survivor because that doesn't happen all that often (Dawn was my other choice - at least she was in the jury!).


With Sophies win, that make 8 women to 9 men that have won Survivor, those are pretty good stats IMO
Dawn didnt stand a chance, sadly, the really nice people rarely do these days. The bad guys take them so far, then realize they cannot win against the nice person and drop them out.

I agree with you Gaea - Coach went back on his "word as a Christian man" and I was happy to see him get so few votes. In the end, he knew if he went head-to-head against Ozzy, he would lose, so he tried to go for the win and made himself look like a complete ass.

I think at tribal, Coach realized his mistakes using the Christian man thing. I wanted Ozzy to win, but he was so darn sure he had it in the bag, he was over confident at the last, and he needed to stop looking at what Sophie was doing, and concentrate on his own puzzle, but he let it get into his head and thats what lost it for him. He had the best attitude for a runner up though, and he was there for the adventure.

I almost forgot - Russell said that he was not happy with Brandon's play and Brandon said his whole family was disappointed and that they said he didn't live up to the Hantz family name - which says a lot about that fucked up family. Jeff suggested next season have Russell on one tribe and Brandon on the other to duke it out.

I got the impression from Ozzy and Coach, that they could only appear 3 times, they kept saying this was their 3rd and last kick at the can, so I am not sure if Russel CAN be on another season, as he has alreadyy been on 3. I feel bad for Brandon, with his family being such dicks. If he HAD won, I bet they would have taken the money from him. The new season should be interesting, they need to do something to shake it up, I love it but its becoming a tad predictable. they should make it a rule that they cannot discuss alliances etc.....that would stop the gang ups! Big Brother UK does that, they arent allowed to discuss who to vote out, if they do, they get booted.

[Parker]

That many women have won? Really? Man my memory sucks ass because I thought it was maybe 3-4 female winners in the 23 seasons.

Now I'm all impressed. lol

I goggled to refresh my memory and I dont remember half of those winners, male or female! For those, like me, who just can't remember who the hell won and when, here is a link to everyone but the 2 most recent winners, Rob & Sophie: Survivor Winners (http://www.survivorfanwiki.com/page/Survivor+Winners). It's a "where are they now?" site and is a bit out of date, but is still kinda fun.

I even forgot that Sandra won Survivor twice ... lawd, my memory!


Gaea, I don't think so because at the reunion, Jeff asked if Ozzy had been one of the top 3, would he have won and every single jury member said yes. So, if there had been a tie and Ozzy had to make fire up against Albert and won, he would have won Survivor.


Peach, I guess I got the impression that they just didn't want to come back a 4th time, but you make a good point because no one has been on Survivor more than 3 times so maybe that's the limit.

[gaea]

Survivor starts in 2 weeks folks woo hoo. I would like to keep this same thread for the new show rather than start a new one.

Perhaps I can get admin to change the title of the thread for me.

looking forward to interacting with everyone here again :)

[Gaige]

everything i see this thread on the front page i read it as Survivor: South Park.
Now THAT would be something to see. :P

Meet your cast
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/hstigen/SurvivorOne%20World/oneworldgallery.jpg

I find im super excited to watch this season with the twists and the changes they have made it ought to be good.

[Rockinonahigh]

Yep, its gonna be diffrent game for shure.

[Parker]

Refresh my memory if I'm wrong - but didn't the tribe of women kick ass the last time they did a "battle of the sexes" female vs. male tribes?

This season should be fun to watch with both tribes living together .....

[Chancie]

Cochran is a pansy ass and semhar came off quite the ass at then end I dislike them both ...

I so agree,I thought he was ging to have a sissy fit at tribal counsel.Both irratate me.


I stumbled on this thread thinking it was something else, so all I read were the first few posts.

I hope you know how offensive it is and how homophobic it is to use 'pansy' and 'sissy' as insults.

Don't bother to leave me rep notes telling me that I am oversensitive and that I misunderstood how the words were used.

I apologize to you that my words offended you in any manner. because i am not homophobic due largly to he fact that im queer, using the term pansy is a word i will express freely as it is my right to do so. again my apologies that you were offended in any way.

I appreciate that both gaea and Rockinonahigh responded to my post.

I know my post was a derailment, and I know that what I said was uncomfortable.

I guess I'll just say that at the public school where I teach, it isn't permitted to call someone a pansy ass or a sissy.

It's so recent that queer kids have any protection at all in public schools and

I am grateful that my students have some legal recourse against hate language.

Since you mentioned the word derailment, I would appreciate it if you do not watch the show survivor that you do not come into this thread chastising those of us that do happen to watch and are long time fans for discussing what we see.

This thread allows for us to discuss behaviors, actions, straight up game players, the ones we cant stand stand and the players we all love and want to see win.

This thread was created for that purpose to have conversations about the various players and outcomes of the show weekly. As that is our right, this thread poses no harm to anyone on this site i assure you if anyone in this thread were to be harmful to another person on this site within this thread it would be handled immediately.

All of the Survivor fans that i have engaged with in this thread and elsewhere have shown nothing but respect towards all persons.

thank you,

[gaea]

respectfully my apologies to anyone who took offense to a post i made several months ago.

I assure you that I do not use words to demean anyone especially when it comes to using the word "pansy" i do not associate that word as "female" nor "male" oriented. Nor do i believe one sex to be weaker than the other especially.

So my apologies to Chancie for anything i have said in the past that have made you feel as though i were being homophobic or any such thing, as i assure you I am not homophobic.

respectfully your's,

[gaea]

Im so excited for tomorrow

I so look forward to having weekly discussions about the contestants with everyone that watches. I know im the last to see it...I cant wait. This is the one show i will rearrange my schedule to watch.

YAY..

[Parker]

This is one of the few shows I will either watch "live" or if I watch it on my TiVo, it's maybe a few hours after the show airs.

I hope this is a good one. :)

[gaea]

i suspect it will be especially with all the new changes..

[gaea]

I adore him already!
Kourtney...i adore her too

[gaea]

well, for me i liked her im sorry she broke her wrist....
And its Kourtney

A broken wrist in 2 places requiring surgery OUCH! I broke mine and it didn't require surgery and i hurt i cant even imagine the pain she must be in.

I love Colten he had me clapping my hands like a little kid.

I do hope the women unite though it would be good to see that. I was counting on the Chelsea to be able to start fire the way i watched her snatch up those chickens and stuff...

so im pulling for the women to come together and be a team a solid team and work together ....I would really like to see that as cattiness is just icky...so come on gals show me some pride ...please ....

[Rockinonahigh]

Both teams need to stop the pettyness imhop,sorry that Kortney got hurt but if she had followed Jeffs instructions on how to fall into the net she may not have gotten hurt.Next week should be intresting when the mens team find out the womens didnt evict anyone.

[Parker]

Too bad about the break - I liked Kourtney as well - all those tats and a motorcycle mech, hell yeah! :bandana:


You know, half way through that episode I actually asked myself: "what the fuck am I watching???"

I mean, what did they do, seek out and cast the most egotistical, domineering, sexist men they could find?

When I heard them make the deal of working together and sharing chickens, I knew the men were bullshitting because they *just* stole all sorts of things from them women in the truck-grab. So when that woman (Cheslea?) caught 2 chickens and the men surrounded her, closing in, saying which one do we get and she balked, I was happy.

But the way the men acted for the rest of the show, calling the women chicks, ignoring the fact that they stole goods from the women and just harping on and on about the damn chickens, etc.

Wow.

I may not be able to watch this season, man.

[gaea]

Well....

Lets see i thought that bargaining for the fire wasn't so bad..if they had kept it alive after they stole it they wouldn't have had to bargain for it...Im not all together sure how i feel about that however it is what it is I know me personally i would have been like um no hello we can make fire...then again that's just who i am kinda stubborn like that.

The women all not working together immediately may harm them...I am hoping that they will come together and unite as a team.

Its going to be an interesting season for sure.

[JustJo]

I think Survivor just lost me as a viewer....

I've been watching on and off since the first season....some shows more than others, depending on the personalities involved.

I'm getting really turned off by the people now. They used to have interesting varieties of participants....and now they all seem like wanna be models and tv celebrities that are using this as their launching pad.

Blech. I don't want to watch a show that consists primarily of posing and cattiness. If Survivor brings back some of the interesting personalities and backgrounds, and depends less on appearances.....I may come back....but, for now, I'm out.

[Rockinonahigh]

I have waych this show since it came on ..but this time they have somehow found the most disagreable group of men they could fine and im not shure the womens group is much better.I ended up reading abook while it was on and barely watching it.

[Parker]

I was thinking last night that I might skip it - I skipped a season ro 2 in the past because I was survivor-ed out or whatever, but I was so irritated with the jackass-y men and with how the women:

1. Kept going to the men for help
2. Kept expecting the men to change even though they showed the women at least 3 times what jackasses they are
3. Couldn't even come together to agree on anything except that they can't come together to agree on anything!

I spent way too much time yelling at the TV and scaring the hell out of my dogs - you'd think my team was loosing in the Superbowl-World-Series-Stanley-Cup-whatever!

I will give it ONE more chance next week, but I won't be surprised if I just say fuck it and skip it this season.

:badmood:

[Parker]

I know right? I mean, what the hell - they were SO worried about how they could get the men to help poor helpless them that they never even ONCE considered that if they tried, they might be able to figure things out for themselves.

Right? It reminds me of Big Brother now - cute little hard-bodied 20-something straight men and women with zero personality or the skills to do anything but stand around bitching and looking pretty.

Sab had it right when she called that one group of guys the frat-alliance.

[Rockinonahigh]

Thia season of the show isnt a good representation of the many good opnes hey have had,they had o scrape the bottom of the barrel for it.I hope it gets better or I will be watching something else.

[*Anya*]

The women, I am embarrassed to say, are a bunch of idiots.

They boot the ex-LAPD cop and keep the moron 20+ year-old who never shuts up and who helped them lose another immunity challenge. Good thinking!

Women!! Please, get your shit together!

[gaea]

I'm disgusted with this group I female players. I'll
post pic tomorrow

[Parker]

I agree with both of you.

Seriously, when it is this early in the game, your strategy should be tribe, not alliance - at least until you hit about 6-7 members in your tribe. Imo, they fucked up by keeping the :whine: and getting rid of the :police:


On another note, I think I'll keep watching this season - they didn't show the men's asses quite as much this time and while I am irritated with the women, if I remember correctly, the last time we had a female tribe vs. a male tribe, these same sorts of problems arose, so while irritating, this isn't new & I want to see if they can finally come together.

I predict Christina will get booted on the next female tribe vote.

[gaea]

here is what i think...in the beginning had the women formed ONE alliance and became ONE tribe....it might have worked....they have already lost every single challenge and 2 members....

i do have hope for them however right now the numbers aren't exactly on their side strength and agility certainly isn't either.

they so completely bombed that challenge last night...i have no words why are the kicking off their smart ones? makes no sense to me....

ok off my tangent.

[Parker]

Last night's episode was a good one. I usually wait for Gaea to post who got voted off so I know I'm not spoiling it for any fans, but I just have to say that it's about time the women won a challenge and I am so happy the guys voted off who they did.

The only thing that irritated me was the women *still* kept going over to the guys' camp to get warm or get fire, etc and then got pissed when they guys wanted to borrow their boat to go fishing.

They need to realize that every other tribe of women, men, and women+men have done all of this shit on their own, without the benefit of going to the other tribe to beg for fire, food, or shelter. They need to do their own thing so they dont owe the guys anything and so they can feel good about what they have.

Also, if I was on their tribe and we were all sincerely *that* cold, wet, and miserable, I would have suggested a trade with the guys - the boat for the tarp - no bitching, borrowing, or begging - just an even swap. :winky:

[spike]

Last night was the first night I had watched this season's show. It was very good and I will definately watch again.

[Ryobi]

I have watched survivor since it first started, even auditioned and was told no, for what would have been China.

This season has me a little on the disgusted side. One woman catches chickens like she's catching bubbles but, won't share and won't make a deal with the guys. Yet, the women feel it ok to use the guys fire, dry shelter, and even take fire from them to start their own. (stole it in the first one, asked the second time). Don't get me started on each tribe, I'll be here for hours. I will say though, I think the living quarters being so close to each other, is leaving one tribe trying to be a tribe, and the other thinking it's a neighborly game. I think the ones going with the neighborly angle are going to lead themselves to slaughter.

This season doesn't feel like survivor to me, it feels crappy. I hope they don't ever play it like this again. And, I also hope that this isn't an indication of them running out of ideas for the show. The game has changed a lot, I wish it would just go back to being "survivor".

I'm a die hard. Though irritating, I'll watch this season too.

[Rox]

How anyone ever watched that show on Discovery? Been watching a lot of Survivor shows on Netflixs. And The Colony" wow great show on A&E or Netflixs.

[gaea]

oh holy....

I think im still in shock over how the guys carted them selves off to tribal...all i have here is WTF???

not suprised by the vote out come however im not longer thrilled with Colton...i did not care for his judgmental behavior at all i also do not care for his pretentious ways..just my thoughts on that

for the women one who claimed she rocked at puzzles...huh? you were first out and failed miserably whats up with that...at least be honest.

looking forward to everyone's responses this week.

[Parker]

That was the craziest fucking shit I have ever seen.

It topped being voted out while holding 2 hidden immunity idols.
It topped giving your individual immunity away, only to then be voted out.
It even topped throwing a challenge so you could go to tribal and vote someone off.

I just cant believe they did that and I hope it proves to be their downfall.


I agree with you re: Alicia & Colton:

Alicia should have eaten some crow after going off about how good she was at puzzles and then blowing the easiest puzzle there. Wow.

And yeah, Colton - that is one judgmental dude - calling Leif, the little person an Oompa Loompa and how they were going to send his ass back to Oz - and judging Bill based on how much money he has. Wow again.


Also - let's talk about how if the men win a challenge, it is all skill, but when the women won that reward challenge, all the guys could say was it was luck? Fuck that and fuck them.



I'm glad I kept watching this season because that episode was so crazy, I just dont know how to process it. lol

[Rockinonahigh]

The judgemental and snarky ways of Colton may have earned him a ticket home.Alicia will be the next to go on the womens team I hope,u can bet she isnt any better than Colton.I think Colton has an idol so sending him home may take a time or two at tribal.

[Parker]

He does have an idol - he said he was going to play it at the first tribal to scare people into not voting for him and then he didnt play it.

He's so arrogant though, they could easily blind-side him if they wanted to.


I also hope Alicia is the next to go on the female team - I, personally, really like Sab and Monica - I hope they go far.

I'm still in a state of shock

[Parker]

I actually said that first line of my post while I was watching the show - along with, "can they even DO that???" lol

Also -- the look on Jeff's face when the men showed up to tribal instead of the women - priceless. He was so funny ... "24 seasons. Some 400 tribal councils. Never had a tribe arrive at tribal council after winning immunity." lol

They will be talking about this crazy shit for years! :winky:

I would imagine as will all the fans who stood there saying wtf? and just shaking their heads...

What blew me away was the begging bill was doing omg, i so wouldn't have begged that little silver spooned brat...and yes that is exactly what i think of him a silver spooned brat. I would have told colton to kiss my rear end...

this whole way things are going is just blowing my mind...

perhaps this is how it will go Colton so badly wants to work with the women he will get his chance and then they will vote him off....and then it will be touche and so much for your game. that would blow my mind further cause the women haven't proven to be all that smart then again the guys haven't either.

[Parker]

True - he's a little brat, but when Bill got in his face and acted like he was going to get physical? Oh hell no.

I dont know how I feel about Colton getting voted off - I mean, I dont want him to win, but some of the shit that comes out of his mouth is so crazy, I just want him around so I can lol at him .... remember the "Helen Geller" comment from last night? What, was she the blind one on Friends?? lol, good god.


I loved it when Sab said, "No foolishness like that will ever go down in this tribe. Ever." lol

[Peach]

.... remember the "Helen Geller" comment from last night? What, was she the blind one on Friends?? lol, good god.


I think he said Helen Keller!

[Parker]

You think? I rewound that scene like 3-4x - I swear it sounds like Geller, not Keller.

Even when I watched this clip, it still sounds like Geller to me - he says it right near the end at about 3:38 - am I just smoking crack?

I thought he said gellar as well and i believed it to be a bad "crack" at a woman...

I really despise the helen keller jokes and stuff i just think they are in bad taste and that comment left me picking my jaw up off the floor.

god forbid that silver spooned brat ever have to deal with a disability or even better than that fall on hard times...

[Peach]

perhaps he said Gellar, but meant Keller, I dont know, he is stupid. What I DO know, is he is one of the biggest elitist, racist,priviliged assholes i have ever seen on the show, and I cant WAIT for him to be gone!

[Parker]

perhaps he said Gellar, but meant Keller

That's why I thought it was funny - because I thought he said Geller when he meant Keller. The fool.

I agree that he needs to go - looks like there's a tribe switch-up coming this week so maybe he will show his ass to enough people that they will vote him out. :winky:

[Parker]

I love when Colton mixes his metaphors: " ... she's following me around like a fiddle ... " LOL

Oh that boy needs to be voted off but people believe his schtick and just keep on following him. But I have to say, being the Captain of the Titanic doesnt make you a very good Captain. :winky:

[Dutch Leonard]

In Tribal Council, Jeff said "I smell a but." I've been snickering ever since.

[Rockinonahigh]

I'm glad I can check on the show hear ,looks like the same old same old,I missed most of it tonight.

[Parker]

You didnt miss much - I can give a better re-cap.

[gaea]

ok did they mix it up and separate them because it was just no good keeping them all in the same area?

and why didn't they just separate them as they were?

It's no longer "one world"

i do not like colton..

[Parker]

They do this almost every time they "change things up" for a new season - I remember when they had women vs. men last time, it lasted until there were 14-15 people left and then they mixed it up like this ... same for when it was old vs. young.

For those who dont know wth we're talking about, there were 14 people left in Survivor at the beginning of the episode last night - 7 women and 7 men. Before the reward challenge, Jeff told them to drop their buffs and everyone took an egg - half had blue dye, the other half had orange dye and the new tribes (with the same names) were formed.

Then whoever won the reward challenge got to stay on the "One World" beach with everything they had there and the losers would go to another beach and start over.

Coincidentally, the 3 strongest men were teamed up with 3 of the 4 strongest women (plus one not-so-strong female), while Colton was left with 2 ok guys, the old crazy dude, 1 strong woman, and 2 not-so-strong women. I dont remember all of their names, but if you arent watching, names wont make a difference to you anyway. :winky:

The next immunity challenge saw the strong tribe winning and Colton's team lost -- instead of aligning with the women as he had been promising all this time, he convinced one of the 3 women to stick with him as they all voted out the strongest woman - possibly the strongest person, since she was the only one to score at the immunity challenge - off the island.

It's weird to watch people follow a man they know is screwing them over and who they all dislike but they are afraid of how much power he has and of crossing him - when they dont realize that if they banded together, they could vote his ass out and not have to worry about him anymore.

Here ends last night's re-cap ..... lol

[Parker]

Short re-cap from tonight's ep (dont read if you havent watched it yet & dont want to know!):

Colton had an acute appendicitis attack and had to be medevaced out to have surgery. The 2 tribes were told they were going to tribal so everyone on Colton's weaker tribe was scrambling, trying to figure out who to vote off next; while the stronger tribe speculated that since it was "One World," maybe that meant they could vote off someone from the other tribe.

At tribal council, Jeff updated everyone on Colton and then after chatting about how that can change the game, he told them all to drop their buffs because they were going to merge into one tribe and all head back to the "One World" camp.

So the 2 tribes have merged into one tribe of 12 --> 6 women and 6 men.

Game on.


~~~~~


While I feel badly for Colton, I am glad he is gone. He showed his ass there at the end and I think what happened to him was karma - not just because I didnt like him but because he was nasty to Christina, telling her that she could either wait 2 days to be voted out, quit and leave now, or jump in the fire and be medevaced out .... and then he was medevaced out the next day.

Also, I didnt see the merge coming so soon - that was a fun surprise. :winky:

appendicitis is NO fun...been there done that....

karma is a funny thing

that dude...was just plain a nasty fella, im glad he is gone.

what cracked me up was the young one...whats an appendix? *giggles*

all in all don't be a jerk to people karma will kick you in the ass!

I was left in shock when they merged...Alicia she is just plain nasty as well...her and colton's words are going to hurt her i believe...Christina has the 2 guys that were there listening to all that crap she has numbers where i don't think Alicia really does.

[Parker]

The sneak peak for next week looked like Tarzan left the men's alliance, so that might open the door for the women to gain the numbers - meaning they need Alicia, at least for now .... but I'd love to see her go as well. She was nasty to Christina from day one and once she got with Colton and had the numbers, she just let the nastiness fly.

Jonas pointed it out - he said them having the numbers and knowing they would vote Christina off next wasnt enough for them, they had to twist that knife in a little further and make it personal. Not cool - people like that dont win and they dont always last very long either.

And yeah, Kat wanting to know what an appendix was and how she could avoid hurting it was classic. lol - the look on her face as each person said they had theirs out also ... omg.

[firegal]

Yanno the ONLY bad thing about colton,s organ issue :byebye:

was that his antagonistic arrogant ways were never given the opportunity for a SMACK DOWN!

He was being a real fuck head.

But I love that the dynamics have changed again.

More will be reveiled

yep..i so agree

[Parker]

Last night wasnt nearly as good as I was expecting it to be - but then again, I dont really know what I expected, so ... maybe just more back stabbing, blindsides, scrambling, etc. lol

After the merge last week, the tribe went back to the camp and had their merge feast and a few people did a bit of conversing and scrambling; but the overall feel for us, the viewers, was that the new Salani tribe (originally, all women, but then 4 women and 3 men) would stick together and vote off the new Manano tribe (originally all men, but then 3 women and 4 men), even though those in the new Manano tribe thought they were in the same original Manano alliance - meaning, all the men together.

They had a reward challenge where Jeff separated them into to groups of 6 and the winning group got to go have pizza and beer and learn that there was another immunity idol back at camp (keep in mind that Kim found a hidden immunity idol a few days ago and told only Chelsea).

The next morning, Troyzan, who said he is usually up a couple of hours before everyone else, went looking for and found the other hidden immunity idol - and, smartly, imo, told no one.

The immunity challenge was standing on a log, holding a tray with first 1, then 2, then 3 balls - last one left standing was Troyzan and the scrambling started.

The new Salani tribe decided to stick together and vote off Jonas, who was on the new (and old) Manano tribe, because they felt he was the biggest threat on that tribe. The women of the new Salani tribe liked this idea because (a) it's voting off a man and (b) it's voting off a new Manano tribe member so whether they stick with their new Salani alliance or their older female alliance, they were good.

During all of this, Tarzan wanted to wash his nasty-shit-stained (he claimed it was "dirt") drawers. While he was wandering around trying to convince people the stains in his drawers were dirt stains, Chelsea was off in the ocean cleaning her clothes and then adding a pot of water to the fire so she could then boil her clothes.

Tarzan decided to toss his nasty drawers into the the pot of water with Chelsea's clothes that she just scrubbed in the ocean which made mer remove her clothes from the pot - but not before offering to go wash Tarzan's clothes in the ocean for him before adding them to the pot.

This whole exchange irritated me because (a) Chelsea acted like it was her job to clean the dude's laundry and (b) Tarzan acted like it was anyone's job but his to clean his own damn drawers. Nasty nasty man.

Anyway at tribal, the shit hit the fan when Jonas talked about being a provider (he's good at fishing and is a chef, so he was able to cook some good food for them) and not a huge threat in immunity challenges and then threw Mike under the bus because he is a large and muscular man who could be a threat - he also mentioned how the new Manano tribe's plan of voting off Kat wasnt a good idea, which made his tribe/alliance raise their eyebrows at him.

This all pissed off Tarzan, who then decided he wanted to vote off Jonas since Jonas threw their plan to hell & he also went off, Tarzan style.

So basically, Jonas and Leif (the little dude) voted for Mike, but everyone else voted for Jonas. Jonas told Tarzan no hard feelings, but Tarzan said he still had hard feelings. After Jeff snuffed Jonas' fire, Jonas told them all good luck with the food and left.

Next week's preview looks like the women might be re-banding together to re-form their all woman alliance to vote off the guys ... we'll see.

[Parker]

While I was searching the internet for Survivor: One World cast so I could get the names right in my last post, I found an interview with Jeff about Colton and whether or not Survivor would ever bring him back .... he said no. lol

Will ‘Survivor’ Villain Colton Be Invited Back? Host Jeff Probst Answers… (http://xfinity.comcast.net/blogs/tv/2012/03/28/will-%E2%80%98survivor%E2%80%99-villain-colton-be-invited-back-host-jeff-probst-answers%E2%80%A6/) (<-- link to article)

What a difference an episode makes.

Over the course of one hour, “Survivor: One World” lost its reviled bully to a medical concern, cemented a new power alliance with an idol, and brought both tribes together with a last-minute merge.

So, with all of that going on, it seemed like the perfect time to check in with “Survivor’s” 74-time Emmy-award-winning host* Jeff Probst.

*Not mathematically accurate.

Gordon Holmes: The show just lost one of the most hated villains of all time last Wednesday when Colton Cumbie was removed from the game. Did you realize at the time how big of a bad guy was being carted off?

Jeff Probst: I had no idea how ugly Colton was being at camp. I saw one display at Tribal Council when he talked about “I have a black friend, a housekeeper, who I pay.” I didn’t realize how aggressive he was in treating people and how poorly he treated people. Colton is one of the few people I can recall where the audience just has a true dislike for. He’s different from Russell (Hantz) who you just might love to hate.

Holmes: Think we’ll see Colton again?

Probst: Russell you bring back. Colton, I don’t think you do. I can’t imagine celebrating Colton and bringing him back. But, I could be wrong on that.

Holmes: Some people love Russell, some people hate Russell. This Colton hatred seems pretty universal.

Probst: On one hand, Colton is honest. This is where he comes from, this is his truth. But, that doesn’t excuse it. And I think it would be hard to root for him to win the game ever. And I had no idea when he was evacuated how much people despised him. So, it’s always a little weird for me if I had known. Would I have had an attitude with him?

Holmes: I’m going to give you a quick compliment. Don’t be alarmed. But, I think one of your strong points is when it comes to racially charged Tribal Councils like with Bill and Colton this season or Phillip (Sheppard) and Steve (Wright) in “Redemption Island” you don’t take an attitude with people. Rather than breaking it down from your point of view and being, “You’re right” and “You’re wrong,” you seem to embrace the old writers’ adage that, “No villain ever thinks he’s wrong.”

Probst: Thanks.

Holmes: We’re twenty four seasons into this social experiment; do those put-it-all-out-there moments still excite you?

Probst: Any time somebody brings up differences in how they live or how someone looks or their race or their sexuality and they’re willing to talk about it, I get very excited. That’s the fabric of our society. That is what it’s all about, all of our differences. You think you’re right and I think I’m right and the truth could be somewhere in the middle. I don’t know, sometimes the truth is over on the left. So, I like having those discussions. It never surprises me.

Holmes: I’m at risk of having my “Survivor” press badge taken away for two reasons. First, I make Dream Teamers cry.

Note: Dream Teamers are the crack crew of talented, athletic youngsters who practice the show’s immunity and reward challenges.

Probst: Why?

Holmes: Because I beat them in challenges too often.

Probst: (Laughs)

Holmes: And second, I have no idea what’s going on with these twists. You bring out Redemption Island and my first instinct is, “There’s no way anyone can come back into the game and win.” Then it almost happens twice. A challenge goes a different way and Ozzy Lusth is a champion.

Probst: Yup.

Holmes: Matt Elrod and Andrea Boehlke could’ve been serious spoilers too. Then, you announce One World and my first instinct is, “This is great. We’re gonna have all kinds of inter-tribe mingling. I can’t wait.” Then, the exact opposite thing happens. One minute you have Michael stealing a pick axe and the next these two tribes won’t even share fire.

Probst: It’s crazy!

Holmes: What were you anticipating when the One World idea came across your desk?

Probst: We’ve talked about two tribes living on one beach for ten years. We were never sure we could pull it off. There were issues about identifying the tribes. Another concern is that it would be one big love fest and they’d make one big fire, one big shelter and we’d have this mess of twenty people living together. Fortunately, Mike decided to start stealing stuff off the bat and it was game on.

Holmes: So for the sake of one pick axe, the whole season became cutthroat central.

Probst: I never understand that. Stealing? When you need votes to win the game? How does that work long term?

Holmes: If I’m a Manono guy and I witness that? I’d put that in my back pocket and happily rat Michael out when I needed to.

Probst: You need to be on this show.

Holmes: Sign me up. The only problem there is I’m not good looking enough to be a good-looking guy and I’m not quite nerdy enough to be a nerdy guy. You need to keep the show going until I’m old enough to be the cranky geezer.

[Parker]

My bad, I didnt post a recap this past week - but the episode was so boring, I couldnt bring myself to recap it! Mike was voted off and the women are taking over - or at least, trying to take over - we'll see. :winky:


Why I am really here is because while I was watching Breakout Kings tonight, I saw a commercial for a new show that might be of interest to some Survivor fans .... or I should say, Russell Hantz fans. lol

Russell and his brother (remember him from when he visited the last time Russell played Survivor? He was skeevier than Russell imo) are in a house flipping reality show on A&E called Flipped Off - it premieres Saturday April 28th.

I will not be watching because he makes me crazy - hell, he made me like Coach lol - but I thought I'd toss this out there in case we have a few of his fans on the site and they miss him and want to watch him go at it with his brother and others while they renovate and try to sell houses. :winky:

Here's a link to the show --> Flipped Off (http://www.aetv.com/flipped-off/)

[gaea]

for what ever reason...i have a lack of attention when watching the show they will be getting ready for a challenge or what not and then it will be over and i will have to think what just happened...

whats the deal with this i think to myself this is my all time favorite reality show and yet i find myself looking more forward to Sundays airing of the amazing race...

I think i just do not care much for any of the contestants on this season..

The title "One World" was an awesome title then they threw in battle of the sexes and yet it hasn't really been any sort of battle girls whining and crying then pulling in trusting dudes then voting them off posh...what kind of shit is that?

they were all together then separated for what 2 weeks what is that like 4 days survivor time????

I watched last night just as i did last week, Parkers recaps keep me posted for some reason my mind just isn't catching anything about this season and so i think i watch however do not really pay any attention at all...

idk perhaps it will get better????

ive been saying that from the start of this season...

maybe this season im just experiencing a bit of survivor "death" all puns intended

I totally feel you on this, G - I have to keep rewinding sections of the show this season because my mind drifts off to something else and I miss entire portions of the show.

Take last night - I actually thought that was a pretty good episode and yet I am struggling to remember what the hell it was about! lol

Let's see ..... they had another of their DIY reward challenges - which I think is weird. Every time they have one of those, I think to myself, what, did Probst call in sick? Dude only has to work 39 days twice a year and he couldnt be bothered to come to this reward challenge? Maybe he's as bored with this season as we are!

Anyway, they split themselves up into 2 groups, did some kind of rope tossing game for points and one of the teams won and went on a BBQ - it was uninspired and nothing really happened except Jay and Troy got together to decide that this tribal, a woman (or girl, since that's how they all refer to the women - girls - like their all 12 years old or something) just *had* to go or that would be proof that their alliance was a sham and it was women vs. men again.

Conversely, Kim, et.al. were scheming that who ever didnt win individual immunity (Troy or Jay) would be voted off next because they are the biggest threat in challenges, then they can worry about Lief and Tarzan.

The immunity challenge was that one where they stand under a big bucket of colored water with a rope tied to one hand while they stand barefoot on a narrow piece of wood - if they step or fall off of the wood or drop their arm, they are doused with the water and are out.

The instant Jeff said they were starting, Tarzan stepped off of his piece of wood and went to sit down. Then Jeff started coming out with food to tempt people to sit down and before anyone could blink, Sab stepped down for some cookies. Eventually, most everyone stepped down for one food item or another - including Jay, who thought he was safe - leaving Troy, Chelsea, and Lief.

Troy lost his balance and fell (I thought he was going to pass out, he just started weaving), leaving Chelsea and Lief. Chelsea said she could do this all day and told Lief that if he stepped down it would make him less of a threat. Then when Jeff brought out a tray with cheeseburgers, beer, and chips, Lief asked Chelsea if she was for real - she said yes, so he stepped down and Chelsea won.

Usually a challenge like that goes all damn day, but this one lasted like an hour - so you see what we mean by this season being ... bleh.

Anyway, the women decided Troy may have a hidden immunity idol so they wanted to split the votes between him and Jay. Then Troy told Jay he was going to play his HI idol because he got the feeling the women were playing them. Jay disagreed and told the women what Troy told him, letting Kim know Troy was voting for her.

At tribal, nothing exciting happened - pretty much everyone thought they were safe, there was no drama - hell, I dont even remember what they talked about and it was just a few hours ago! lol

Anyway, a couple of people voted for Troy - he played his idol and voted for Kim and 2 of the men voted for Alicia, but in the end Jay was voted off - and he was blindsided and looked a little butthurt, but in his parting speech congratulated the "girls" on getting him.

The preview for next week makes it look like Troy is trying to get the few remaining men to band together to try to vote off a woman .....

I will goof around on the computer, or read while the show is on, always have. I find it hard to watch anything steady without something else to do. I should have learned to knit, at least Iwould have been productive while wasting time! There just arent the characters this season. no Russels, Ruperts, Coach etc......unless you count that weird guy standing around in a speedo, claiming there is no poop on it, or the little person who sits and sleeps in that big box!!! Not a single person stands out.

The women are running the game, but that wont last, it never does. One of them will make a deal with one of the men, or they will start infighting, they always do, then their all female alliance will fall apart, like it always does. I HOPE they prove me wrong, but they never do.

I still love the show, willwatch the show, but have been going to Youtube and watching the after show. It shows each jury members arrival at the Ponderosa. They could do a half hour show of that, its pretty good!

I also thought it was interesting that Jonas and Mike both ate THEN showered, but Jay showered first - I think I'd EAT first. lol

[Dutch Leonard]

I'd like to know what was up with that skull on the beach. And I think real plastic surgeons don't drive Jeeps, they drive Ferraris or Lamborghinis.

[gaea]

Well

Ill be damned

The women are doing it....at least up through last night.

[gaea]

Perhaps he is a humbled surgeon?

[Parker]

I wondered about the skull too - maybe just a prop? It was cool though.

And yeah - they also dont worry about needing $500 to fix their shocks. I think he'sa bullshitter bc in an earlier episode, he alluded to being an OR nurse - which was why I didnt believe him when h said he was a plastic surgeon.


Well

Ill be damned

The women are doing it....at least up through last night.
So far, so good - too bad Christina didnt play ball to get the immunity challenge clue so they could have been able to knock out Troy - but maybe next week.

I just dont get her - and I fully expect her to jump ship before they get down to 6 women.

[gaea]

Well based on tonight's show I'm just gonna eat my words with a salad fork...ill be damned as i sit here stunned

not my favorite group of women however they have done what they have set out to do...

mmmm mmmm mmmmm

*eyes wide open*

[gaea]

wow wow wow

has this group of women whom i didn't particularly like at the beginning changed my mind ....

ha

i love it, im impressed and further more think well hot damn they went and did it ...

now what hee hee never underestimate the power of a group of women...

[Parker]

I know - I kept thinking if they dont vote out Tarzan tonight, I will hope for him to win because it is just too stupid to wait to vote him out.

Also - I hope I dont jinx it - Kim was my second choice for the winner from day one - right behind the woman who broke her wrist. :winky:

i hope you don jinx it either

im rooting for kim as well however the one i root for never ever wins lol

[Wolfsong]

I am in particular amused at how each of these women gushed about how Kim could look at you with "those blue eyes and make you believe anything she says" and none of them as of yet has figured out that they should have blind-sided her out of there. I guess they think that charm is aimed at everyone but them

yep i laughed out loud when that happened....i have a feeling though Alicia might just take her out.

[Wolfsong]

Alicia is a true biotch. You know usually there is a person or two that I really hope wins (Like in this seasons Amazing Race I was PRAYING those guys from Kentucky would win) but in this season of Survivor I have nobody that I really care about one way or the other. I was glad that Colton left he was just mean for the sake of being mean.

That's how it is all the time - in games like this and in life - everyone always believes the deceiver is lying to everyone *but* them.

The bad thing about being the kind of player Kim is being is that once you vote out all of those people you have been playing and who believed everything you said, it's hard to get their jury votes to win the money at the end.

Good sportsmanship would dictate that she go to the end with Sab and Chelsea - but I dont think she would win against them - she would have to go with Christina and Alicia to have a chance at winning.

[Wolfsong]

I know - same here. lol

I somewhat agree with you but you know, if that were completely true than people like Richard Hatch would never win.

[Parker]

I somewhat agree with you but you know, if that were completely true than people like Richard Hatch would never win.

That's true - of course, we've come a long way since the naked gay man and an island full of snakes and rats lol. Side note: I just saw him on a commercial about lawyers offering to help with IRS troubles and he said something about being in jail for 4yrs isnt fun - call these guys for help. I lol'ed.

Seriously though, I'm not saying it will happen like that or that it always happens like that - I have seen similar situations where the deceiving person who controlled everything was sincerely not liked by the jury of people they lied to and voted out, but they still won because the jury could recognize that while they werent a very nice person, they played the game really well.

An example off of the top of my head: a lot of people disliked Boston Rob this last time, but they also recognized he played an almost flawless game, even though he hand a hand in blind-siding almost all of them - he still won ... FINALLY. :winky:

[Parker]

I'm so happy Kim won - she and Kourtney were my favorites from the beginning and then when Kourtney broke her wrist, I rooted for no one but Kim.

She deserved to win, imo. :)

i am happy she won as well. in 12 years of watching this show last night was the first time i actually watched the reunion. because someone i wanted to win actually did win...kid you not first time in 12 years...oy.

[Wolfsong]

Ok now they are going to being back 4 survivors that left for medical reasons.

I'm certain that jackass Colton is going to be one of them. People don't
love to hate him, they just hate him. That stupid defense about how he would make out with Shemar Moore faster than any woman. That was very simply another way of saying "I have a black friend" and thinking that that in and of itself proves he is not a racist. How embarressing would it be to have to have your MOTHER stand up and apologize for you to all of America?

Bring back Russell AND his nephew if you are going to do that. Heck why bring back anyone at all? Give us new people to love and hate.

I think Survivor should have their location be something OTHER than a beach. Maybe a northwoods forest, or above the arctic circle, or a desert. The beaches are getting old.

Why don't they hunt? Surely there are wild animals in the area, rabbits, whatever. While we are on THAT subject why do they eat the chicken FIRST? 10 people gnawing on 1 chicken isn't worth eating if you ask me.

Am I the only one who would stop in mid-challenge to nail Probst in the head with a coconut to shut him up?

[*Anya*]

I'm so happy Kim won - she and Kourtney were my favorites from the beginning and then when Kourtney broke her wrist, I rooted for no one but Kim.

I agree. Kim was the only one that without question, deserved to win.

I will just hate it if they bring that ass Colton back and may not even watch it if they do. I pray that they do not bring him back. :praying: I could not tolerate him and always fast-forwarded with my Tivo through anything he said or any scene he was in, before he left.

I wish no one harm but was so glad when he left the game.

I've never seen Survivor cast members look as miserable as they did the season they were in Kenya and didn't have a beach. It was miserably hot and they couldn't swim or bathe. I wonder if that's why they usually do it at a beach, or because viewers like watching people in tiny swimsuits.

Yeah but........tiny, starving, stinky people half naked? I saw Tarzan in his speedo-roos. Kneeling over the fire, Little Tarzan was pretty plain. That was gross. They can put the thing by a lake

perhaps they are not allowed to hunt perhaps fishing is their only choice..

the coconut comment
now that was funny to me...probably because i visualized it lol

[firegal]

I agree Kim rocked and glad she won... The coconut comment had me laughin too..

Probst does need a mute button.

I cant believe colton the gay boy nelly was so ignorant and prejudiced.
Colton talked about not supporting handouts

Um... doesnt he live with rich mommy and daddy... and i dont recall him talking bout a career.Sheese must not be considered a handout if its coming from ma and pa,s wallets.

Honestly if he was chattering at me like that while I was hot, hungry, and homesick I would not be happy.

Very simply...Colton is a tool, and a cheap one at that. I didn't buy his apology
and I'm pretty sure the rest of America didn't either. I guess we'll see next season.

I wonder how well he'd handle Ozzie, Boston Rob, or Coach.

[Parker]

I posted an interview a few pages back where Probst said something like a Russell you love to hate & bring back, a Colton you just hate and dont want to see him again .... hopefully they stay true to that and dont go by the audience that night who seemed to kinda want to see him again.

[gaea]

Well considering filming is done already what the audience said that night wont matter filming for the Philippines wrapped up a couple days before the winner for one world was announced.

[Rockinonahigh]

I wonder how well he'd handle Ozzie, Boston Rob, or Coach.

He wouldnt have a chance,they wouldnt put up with his racist bs then he would be gone so fast his head would be spinning.Or they would paly him like a piano then ditch him blindsided.

You know I've always wondered how stacked the deck is. For example in shows like Bachelor/Bachelorette there is always one douche that the entire world is screaming for their head and yet......said douche always stays on way longer than they would in real life.

They are good for ratings

I suspect it is the same for all "reality shows". The producers probably tell them ok you get to pick 14 guys out of this bunch but JC Dickhead gets a rose until we tell you to dump him. Don't worry, you won't have to marry him.

That reality tv is so scripted takes away the.....well......reality. I first realized (I know, I'm terribly naive) these things were scripted was when I first caught the disclaimer on Operation Repo in the opening credits that pretty cleary say, "We are lying to you." Although I am by no means a reality junkie there are a few that I like. Gold Rush, Black Gold, Moonshiners, and The Colony are all heavily scripted but enjoyable nonetheless. Moonshiners is almost completely fake. The police side of the show is real, the moonshiners side of it is all local legend.

If Survivor is as I suspect I do not want to know.

[Dutch Leonard]

was on last night. What do you think? Don't read past this if you haven't watched:








I think the three tribe format is interesting.

I'm a little worried for Lisa (Blair), the alpha females seem to look down on her. It probably wouldn't do her any good to mention Facts of Life, only the old folks, like Skupin would be interested in that. I hope he and her go far.

Survivor did that same old thing of making us think Russell should/would go and then Zane's plan went for naught. But "weed out the weaklings" is what I have always considered a valid strategy, so I can't argue, although I was sorry to see him go, I think he would have been an interesting player. But quitting smoking right before you come to play is not a valid strategy either. He wasn't up to running at all and in swimming, he might have drowned! The smallness of the tribes could lead to one getting decimated very quickly. I wonder how they will handle this with reshuffling into three smaller tribes or two prior to the merge?

I think this looks like a promising season.

i too am pulling for lisa because id like to see her get what she is wanting out of this. So far her and the older guy on the same yellow team i like.....

i like that Zane was voted off first, he jump started his game a big no no in my book.

I would like to see "the leader" russell go next seriously.....not a fan of his.

[Rockinonahigh]

Im watching with a wary eye,russel needs to go imhp.Lisa I hope can stay an d have a decent chance.

[Parker]

I'm concerned for Lisa as well - that banker woman really decided at minute one that she didnt like or trust Lisa ("the older lady") and Lisa, who is normally a very personable and funny woman has sort of distanced herself from the tribe. She did *really* well in the challenge and I hope people notice and remember tat, but I think the first time her tribe loses, she might be gone unless she does something to show them that the Brazilian woman is their weak link in challenges and around camp.

I LOVE that Mike was one of the returning players - I, too, hope he and Lisa go far.

That Zane strategy was one of the dumbest things I have see on Survivor in a long time - and the fact that he thought that would work? Wow lol. There are 2 people on his tribe who I liked, but I am not good with the names right now - one was the therapist woman and the other was the guy with the long hair that she hangs with - I'd love to see them go far.


The 3 tribe thing: I have to wonder if they are going to keep it for very long .... when they did the female vs. male thing with them all living on the same beach, that only lasted a few tribals; so I am wondering if, after the next tribal when the numbers are even (16), they might tell everyone to drop their buffs at the beginning of the next episode (ep3) and then mix them all up into 2 tribes. Or maybe they will wait 3 more tribals - when there are 14 people ....

I think if Lisa's team can win another challenge and if the 3 tribes merge into 2, then she might have a shot at staying at least as long as the merge - but as it stands right now, she might be the first of that tribe to go and that would suck. :(

Regardless - should be fun to watch this season. :)

[gaea]

since this week was primarily focused on the tribe that lost last week as well as this week,.....I was glad to see Roxy get voted out i wasn't really a fan of hers after this episode, i like Angie and Malcolm and i like Lisa so i hope she continues to grow and find herself on this show.

[Dutch Leonard]

Our local CBS affiliate saw fit to air a debate between Leonard Boswell and Tom Latham (Iowa congressional race). Survivor was aired at 2:07 am this morning (after all the late shows and two infomercials).

Russell provided what may be one of the most iconic speeches of Survivor-right up there and maybe surpassing Susan Hawk's rats and snakes dying of thirst in the desert speech.

While everyone listened in disbelief, he said something along the lines of "God made me perfect so I'm not supposed to fail." He just did not understand why everything sucked so much for him.

And the tiniest tribe in Survivor history became even tinier. Would be funny if they didn't absorb them into the other tribes and they dominated and made it to the merge as a two man team. I mean, can they have the other teams sit out four guys for challenges?

[gaea]

lol that would be funny, did you see how the women snarled at that bs...?

Im hoping for the 2 that are left remaining on that tribe....I am pulling for them for sure.

I think that the 2 left will be absorbed into the other tribes next week.

[Dutch Leonard]

That kid calling Lisa "the Church Lady" and "sweet little old Lisa". Sheesh.

Gaea was right, the tiny two person tribe was absorbed into the other two tribes last week. This week we got the merge.

Actually, there was a tribe of one during the 10th season in Palau - one of the tribes just kept losing and losing and losing (like Denise and Malcolm's tribe) until it was down to Stephanie and a guy - they went to tribal and since they couldnt vote, they had a fire challenge and Stephanie won, making her the only surviving member of that tribe.

She was then absorbed into the other tribe, so there was no real merge that season - and I think that was the only season without an actual merge.

I really like Lisa, Denise, and Malcolm - I know he called Lisa the "church lady" (which made me think of Dana Carvey on SNL and I lol'd) and more then one of them has called her "old" - but I still rally like those 3 and would be so happy to see them make it to the final with Denise or Lisa winning at the end. :)

That kid calling Lisa "the Church Lady" and "sweet little old Lisa". Sheesh.

Gaea was right, the tiny two person tribe was absorbed into the other two tribes last week. This week we got the merge.

I missed the merge trick or treating with the grandkids....

Who got voted off?

Another pretty brunette bites the dust. Penner played his immunity idol and dodged elimination. RC will be the first member of the jury.

Man, Probst called it last night when he said that last night's tribal vote may go down in Survivor history as one of the biggest lost opportunities. Man, that was dumb.

I mean, dont get me wrong - I didnt exactly like Jeff - he'd been becoming increasingly hostile for absolutely no reason, except that he didnt want a returning player to win. That was it - his whole reason for acting like more and more of an ass each week. It was weird to watch and made me wonder if there were a lot more things going on that they were leaving off the episodes or what.

But for Penner to talk all of those people into voting for Pete but then he turns around and votes for Abi instead? Wtf was that??

I know that Scupin also messed it up by voting for Jeff, but if Penner has stayed the course, there would have been a tie and they might have been able to get rid of Pete.

Speaking of Pete - what a horrible idea it was for Lisa to trust him with the info about Malcolm having an idol and her plan to blind-side him. I mean, she really had no choice because she had to talk to them to get them to vote for Malcolm (I like Lisa, but I'm glad it didnt work!), but Pete - he just ran right to Malcolm and then believed him when he said he didnt have the idol.

So yeah, last night was crazy and the tribal council was freaking awesome because so many people tried to throw others under the buss, secrets were brought out into the open, idols revealed, etc - it was a great tribal council. lol

Ok, enough venting - next week looks like Lisa might *finally* step away from the jerks of her original tribe and alliance and go with another alliance - this time, I hope she keeps a few more things closer to her chest (or vest, which ever you prefer lol)!
