It’s okayer this time because (a) same sex contact, and only two that we know of go for that kind of thing, (b) they were told ahead of time that it would happen (not that they could get out of it, but at least they were told), and © none of them seemed to be naked at the time. **watsonwil** –Lisa is one of the afore-mentioned top-heavy ladies. Perhaps the top-heaviest… which is why it’s difficult to recognize her face… ---

I busted out laughing at the beginning of the episode when they showed the guys looking down at their empty firepit. They had obviously not been seriously trying to start a fire, and they were staring at it like, “Dude, maybe if we all think really hot thoughts, the stones will burst into flame!” ---

Oh, see, I was too worried that she was going to drop a machete on somebody to watch her boobs. I should have known not to worry because they didn’t give us the “This episode contains scenes of, well, gory stuff, so you might want to tape it” disclaimer at the beginning. ---

When they say they’re just too sweet and honest and innocent and trusting, and just don’t know how to scheme and backstab. :eek: Did someone tell you this was the Miss America pageant? ---

They had obviously not been seriously trying to start a fire, and they were staring at it like, “Dude, maybe if we all think really hot thoughts, the stones will burst into flame!” OK, they’ve been there 5 days without fire. Odd that they haven’t shown a single shot of the men eating or drinking. Either they’re drinking unboiled water & eating raw food, or there is some jiggery-pokery going on with the “no food” thing. ---

Either they’re drinking unboiled water & eating raw food, or there is some jiggery-pokery going on with the “no food” thing. They’re going all hakuna-matata and eating bugs and worms, from what they showed last night. Water, on the other hand, I don’t know. ---

> [@jayjay](#): > > They’re going all hakuna-matata and eating bugs and worms, from what they showed last night. Water, on the other hand, I don’t know. This question came up over the last couple seasons. It rains every day and you can collect a decent amount of water in Banana leaves, etc. Plus, I think they do drink the supposedly “dirty” water. No one’s gotten anything more than the runs from it, despite warnings of brain parasites. ---

I should have known not to worry because they didn’t give us the “This episode contains scenes of, well, gory stuff, so you might want to tape it” disclaimer at the beginning. If she’d have dropped the machete, it probably would have just hit someone in one of their freakishly large Heidi-Strobel-style breast implants, and all you would have had was a loud hissing noise, like when Cloris Leachman pokes herself in the bosom with a knitting needle in _History of the World Part I_. Fear not for the Beautiful Bought-Boobs Bitch Brigade. ---

You don’t know me. Please don’t assume that I am some kind of pervert just because you stoop to the level of degrading women in such…(looks at picture of Lisa on website)…_MY GOD, it’s like two racoons fighting under a blanket for a piece of cheese!_ Yes…well…carry on then… 😉 ---

> [@Mullinator](#): > > I keep thinking she has either sprung to life off of a velvet canvas drawn on by a Mexican painter or she has stepped out of some grandma’s Hummel figurine shelf. My wife’s theory is that Eliza has some sort of permanent makeup enhancement. I dunno, but just look at her: it’s been, what, 5 days and she still has makeup on her eyebrowns, mascara, eyeliner; her face looks freshly done up for prom. It’s kind of spooky-looking, when compared to the un-madeup women. ---

> [@kka](#): > > Anybody else have a hard time keeping the names straight this early in the game? Dolly and Scout are the only two women who’s names I can put with a face. not only that, but they all seem to look the same to me, especially the guys. Maybe in a few weeks I’ll be able to tell them apart. the one in the blue tank top needs a bigger shirt. She was falling out of it all night. When she loses some weight she’s going to look awful funny-like that one Southern blond a couple years ago(Heidi?). Yea, i thought it was a bit boring too. Next week it looks like both camps get some heated conversations going though. It sucks to have your favorite kicked out in week 2. ☹ ---
