Was it just me or did Jeff seem more than a little irritated during the Reward challenge?
“I’m starting to sound like a broken record. YOU WEREN’T IN THE ATTACK ZONE!”
Reminded me of my cranky old 5th grade teacher during recess.
And Ghandia freaking out and punching the log and throwing things…geez, my two-year-old handles stuff more maturely than that.
I do hope she doesn’t get voted off too soon. Aside from Robb, she’s the biggest comic relief they’ve got.
What losing also means is that that team can’t hide 2 players like they did during this latest challenge. They’re only up by one so, depending on the challenge, they can’t sit two out, only one. I think it was Titty Girl and Stephanie that sat out last night, one will have to play which weakens them in my book, right dudes? ;).
Depends, TBC. Stephanie is actually quite muscular and fit (or was when she got there anyway). The problem is, she’s been sick, and insisting on sleeping out in the rain probably hasn’t helped any. If she should somehow get her act together, and get some food in her, she could be an asset in the challenges.
Probably won’t happen though. And I doubt it would save her anyway—her and Knobb are on short time, unless they make it to the merge, or luck out in a tribe-switch (which I hope they won’t be doing this season).
Greywolf,
No, it’s not just you. Jeff was definitely annoyed at the kids’ behavior.
Gonorrhea has simply got to go. Hint: If you don’t want someone to make the moves on you, then keep your hands on your own thigh. She should have shouldered HER part in the misunderstanding and moved on. Him making a move on her was not a capital offense, especially given the cuddling and mixed signals she gave. (If anyone has a gripe, it’s Mrs. Ted.)
Playing the victim was lame, especially when she had absolutely zilch fear of being overpowered. I mean, there were six other people sleeping a foot away, not to mention cameramen, for pete’s sake. Getting him to back off would have been as easy as a well placed kick. Or simply saying firmly, “Dude, get your cheatin’ penis off my ass or I’ll personally vote it off the island.” instead of laying there and pretending to be traumatized in the morning. Give me a break.
Or did she feel remorseful in the morning because she was afraid a cameraman had caught the thing on tape?
Also, couldn’t the tribe had waited until AFTER the red berets left to have their fireside chat?? Geesh, they had these guys for 24 hours. I would have told the Drama King and Queen to hold off for a bit so that I could sponge every last bit of knowledge I could from those guys.
In any event, it’s no wonder foreigners hate self-absorbed Americans. Those red berets were undoubtedly wishing they could craft some bamboo weapons to use…
Oh, and I hate Erin’s breasts and her pencil thin eyebrows.
DKW’s unofficial thoughts for the week, in order (I dunno what this means either…just play along).
She actually made three mistakes here, becoming completely overwhelmed by a petty gripe, antagonizing the other tribe members, and, perhaps most importantly, not establishing herself as a keeper in the previous weeks. I dunno about you, but if I cost the team an immunity challenge and was totally lackluster in another, I am keeping my damn trap shut until at least the merge. Furthermore, if there’s a dispute in my tribe with one party calm, rational, and willing to make amends and the other completely irrational, I take the side of the former every time, and I’m sure most of the remaining Orange people would agree. Just terrible, terrible play on Gandhia’s part, and it’ll spell her doom, probably as soon as next week.
Okay, forgetting one of the rules of the contest, fine. You’ve never played anything like that before, and it’s easy to forget one of the rules. But four times?? That’s just a screaming meltdown, my friends.
I think it’s a safe bet that every time the immunity challenge is really easy 'n obvious (it’s called The Towers of Hanoi, BTW), Burnett & company are just trying to see who’s got it in them. I’m not surprised in the least that Purple just plain gave up.
Tribal majority means jack now; anyone who’s seen Survivor 3 or 4 can attest to this. There will always be something in place to break up obvious alliances. Which means that Shii Ann is free to go after whoever she wants (and I have to believe that this freedom is one of the purposes of shaking things up).
Okay, so you’re not a man of the sea, and you’ve never caught fish in your life. I would think that you’d still have the common sense to not let your only fishing net drift in the ocean, much less <<TAKE A DAMN NAP>> while it does so! Couldn’t you at least tie it around a rock or somethign?? Sheesh…
I’ve heard this argument brought up many times before, and I still fail to see what’s so “entertaining” about colossal jerks. I’m sorry, I just don’t get it. As far as I’m concerned, the sooner useless irritants like Robb (and now Gandhia) go, the better. I think it’s possible to be interesting and funny without acting like the world’s biggest POS every friggin’ second second the camera’s on you.
And with that said, Robb’s still freaking insane. You really think some of these contestants would know better by now. Jed’s dismissal only puts his hide even closer to the fire.
Shii Ann may be stubborn, and she definitely has a chip on her shoulder, but I have a really hard time disagreeing with anything she’s said so far. I think her analysis of Robb was right on the money.
Okay, Erin basically has nothing but boobs, but that’s something. I really don’t see what you people have against pure eye candy…it’s a hell of an improvement over all the people who are unattractive or annoying and bring absolutely nothing to the table. (Can you tell I really have a serious grudge against Robb here?)
And…that’s it. Still haven’t seen enough to cast any sweeping moral judgments. See y’all next week.
Knobb’s Diary 10/3
Yo wassup. Hey big crybaby! I’m gonna kick hiz ass right in the head. Man they jus’ won ‘cause they’re a better team, thassall. I don’t give a shit. They wootna won if weda had different rools. It wuz a stoopid reward anyway. Who needs too more guys ‘round here? Give us some babes. If they look good, I might fuck me one of ‘em. WEEEEHYAAA! I need my ass some food, dood! I’m so weak I can’t even git my big dick hard. Speakin’ of big dicks, I gotta go look for Jeb right now. Woke up this mornin’ and he wuzn’t here. Damn! I keep losin’ shit.
I’m inclined to believe that Fat Albert may have done a little more than grind against Ghandia. I was watching the show with a guy friend and when Ted said the part about half asleep, we both snickered and gave each other the “Yeah, right” or “We should try that sometime” look. I don’t doubt that it happens sometimes but I don’t think that’s what happened here. I think he knew what was going on.
Having said that, I really think it was weird to hear Ghandia going off about his behavior considering that they are both married when she had his hand on his thigh in the previous episode. And she wasn’t so uncomfortable due to their married status to spoon together! I wonder how her husband felt about that? Or his wife? Her personality makes it extremely difficult to be sympathetic.
I thought Ted’s defense of himself was pure shit. He seemed pretty shifty and I’m a bit inclined to believe Ghandia that he tried a bit more stuff (perhaps the shoulder biting or hair playin’) but much of that would depends on if I knew it had been captured on camera or not. I would assume that Ghandia would know if it was on film and it if was, she wouldn’t lie about it. If it wasn’t - who knows. Maybe Ted figures that if it is on film, no one in the tribe is going to see that film until well after a winner is chosen. But you gotta ask yourself, just how far did he think he was going to get smack in the middle of camp? But, hell, he doesn’t strike me as bright enough to think that far in advance. I’m surprised that Ghandia could even think far enough in advance to know that the grinding might be a precursor to sex.
To sum: Ted was horny and Ghandia has such a dramatic and jacked up personality, it’s hard to be sympathetic to her. I just wanted her to shut up.
Tibs.
One point from the 2nd episode I forgot before. In my opinion, the Soup Guys screwed up by pulling Stephanie from the reward challenge. If you’ll recall, Stephanie was sick because she had slept in the rain. The Soup Guys were one member up at the next reward challenge (which was having six blindfolded people carry a platform with a guide on it) and could sit one person out. They chose Stephanie.
I think they would have been better off putting her in that challenge. Because it was a team effort, they could have compensated for any weakness she had (especially if they made her the guide). Whereas in the upcoming immunity challenge they had to face the possibility that she would have to perform as an individual (which was what happened). The smart strategy would have been to put her in the reward challenge and keep her eligible to be pulled from the more important immunity challenge if she was still sick.
Granted it ended up working out for them. The Chewing Gums blew both challenges regardless.
