Survivor

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 and getting rid of the


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.

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!

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
