Premiers Thur. Sept. 25 @ 8PM ET/PT
Spot on re Michelle. There were at least three or four people on her tribe that should have gone before her. Given time and opportunity she may have risen to the top. I thought it was nuts that they got rid of their better athlete. I hate it when they vote a good player out right off and we are stuck with ass hats like Randy.
Plus, she looked pretty damn good in her underwear. :-)
“We have us a bromance!!!!” Nearly turned off the TV at that scene. Call me old fashioned or whatever you want, but what a waste of air time!
I think a little “bromance” was on one side but not the other.
I think Mr Bromance may think he is on the “ins” with the power crowd but I think he’ll become a pain in more ways than one and not make the cut into the final layer of the onion.
He’ll be a useful tool for a while.
any indication whether they will play down to final 2 or final 3? I wish they’d change it up somehow; a little unpredictability would be nice
First thing I'd do when I got back from Exile would have been talking about the choice, and how I should have chosen comfort, and by not choosing, he lost out on an apple, yeah, but also a lamp, a blanket, apparently flint as well for a fire. If another gets chosen next time to go to Exile, they might choose comfort and that's one less shot at the idol that you have to worry about.
Absolutely the biggest disappointment was Crystal. If the dress was as big of a problem as she made it out to be, then take it off! Gillian needed help to get up the hill, but so did Crystal.
That fishing hook, though, first time I've seen Survivors /think./ That was great.
As for Kota tribe - wow, how can you blow through that much food that quickly? That massive plate of food.. If they hadn't won that fishing reward, that would have come back to haunt them big time. Too greedy - that tribe, while working together great now, seems like a walking timebomb. For the members of that tribe, hopefully it'll happen /after/ a tribal mixup.
Jill - as far as the spoilers go, don’t be too hard on yourself - even the venerable Acme Brain Trust, with an incredible spoiler accuracy record, only got the Michelle boot. In turn, Survivor Sucks MESS Hall Spoilers got only the Gillian boot. Since it was supposed to debut last week, I guess CBS decided they needed to air both episodes to keep it on track and there was a lot of information circulating and there was confusion as to whether there were two tribal councils or just the one.
Next week’s should be interesting, since we’ll be watching the Saracuda wipe up the floor with Joe “Gaffe-o-matic” Biden before or after the show - depending on your time zone.
The only commercials I watched was the trailer for "Eagle Eye" which looks like it could be okay and The Amazing Race promos; otherwise it was zapping the tivo at high speed for me.
I liked the HD picture.
Survivorfever.net has been a good spoiler site in the past. They pull info from survivorsucks and other sites. Realityfanforum also has some good info sometimes, but they are better known for their very good info for the amazing race. I found every leg of the next version back in June or July.
The only snooping I did for this version of survivor was contestant info a while back.
Randy may be an ass, but he’s entertaining. Most of his comments about his dysfunctional tribe are pretty accurate.
I agree about Michelle. She did look good in her underwear.
You’ve got your wish. There doesn’t seem to be any indication one way or the other. They’ll probably pull a surprise on the contestants just like they did last season.
good. need to keep the players off balance.
I am trying to follow this although I usually lose interest in the non-tropical beach ones. I just love the natural beach background.
My initial thoughts were -
- strange some arrived to the African field wearing suits, a dress, inappropriate shoes, etc.
- I'm bad remembering their names as I am with people in real life but the gray haired lady is a bit of a knowitall and is annoying. True, she does know a lot but still absolutely annoys me. Her elephant dung lecture was an eye roller for me.
- The exile island apple was lame. But what made me all but switch channels was the exiled guy's thinking out loud narrative. It was so over done and long. They must have told him to say every single thing he was thinking and repeat it over and over. If they had just provided us with quick clips of his actions we would have got the drift just fine.
- Wow the fishing is good there. The shots of hippos certainly are not in the lake where they are, are they? I thought hippos were extremely dangerous I don't see how the show would put contestants that close to them.
- IMHO Jeff Probst seems very unenergized. I was not expecting that so I don't think I imagined it. I was immediately struck by how bored and lackluster he was.
