Survivor - 12/14

That didn’t occur to me, and it’s an excellent point.

Also, agreed on the deceptive editing as well as the fact that many of the women don’t clean up as well as you’d think. My preference is for the natural look in general, so my opinion on that is biased. For those wondering, in this context “bridge and tunnel” is a synonym for “urban trailer trash.” I was using it to reference her overly done hair and makeup.

As for the strategy versus challenges attraction, I’ve no doubt that I’m in the minority on this one. I was just clarifying why I’ve been pulling for Ozzy and Parvati. For the strategy aspect, Yul is clearly the favorite unless Adam manages to get to the final vote. (Can’t see that happening, but if it does he’d have overcome huge odds against.) It’s hard to argue that Jonathan played well strategy-wise, since he got voted out two shows ago. Even worse is that it’s fairly easy to identify multiple ways in which he could have (theoretically) extended his stay.

Can’t wait for tonight…

Yes! I was head over heels in love with her on the show, then the reunion came and I couldn’t even recognize her under all that makeup and the goofy hairdo. This is a consistent trend that I’ve pointed out to my Survivor watching buddies-- the girls always look hotter on the island than they do back home. (Similarly, Kate looks hotter when she’s all sweaty and dirty on “Lost” than when you see her in a real life interview.)
