“The Others”?
Nah–Team Tofu!
Hmm. OK, I’ll take your word for it. Just seems very predatory to me, but then again, I seduced my husband with my knowledge of hockey and my mad Trivial Pursuit skillz, so I’m not the best judge of these things. Also, she seems to have about 40,000 teeth.
And it’s not very smart gameplay, either, because eventually someone’s going to realize the sheer stupidity of agreeing to be the 5th person in a 4-person alliance. Here’s what I don’t get: everyone who isn’t Jonathan, Candice, Yul, or Becky knew what was going on, and they knew that Jonathan was the mastermind. Why didn’t they target him this time?
Yeah, but he has excellent hair. On the other hand, it looks like he’s starting to grow a sleaze-stache, which – eww!
I’m with you. I just don’t like her. Her flirting seems obvious and heavy-handed, and on top of that, she just bugs me.
That’s what my mother and I thought, too. Then I pointed out that the guys will fall for it anyway. :rolleyes:
She also thought that it was too soon for a merge, but at least it lasted longer than the old/young/men/women tribes. Didn’t they merge in the first episode?
Dreadlocks (I don’t remember her name) is toast. Soon. If you don’t pick a side, no one will trust you. She can’t play floater like she’s on Big Brother.
[An aside: I love when my mom’s in town and we can snark on our shows together. It’s so much better than trying it with my husband, who just says, “Save it for the internet, honey.”]
jayjay, it’s funny that you mentioned Flicka and the glue factory. Every time she’s onscreen, I swear I hear a horse neighing. OK yeah. So I’m doing the neighing but I’m mean like that. To add to the sound effects, Parvati’s presence now demands shouts of “Slut!” as in Rocky Horror.
And I really hope that Candice lasts several more episodes, just so she’ll have extra witnesses for the restraining order against stalker!Billy.
But my head is filled with bad wind today, so just ignore me. 
Nice to know that as far as Flicka goes, appearances aren’t only skin deep - she truly is as dumb as a post.
Has Becky shown anything other than an eagerness to pair up with a fellow Korean?
All this worrying about being in an alliance of 5 - if these guys don’t get their act together, they won’t have to worry about being 5-strong going into the merge. The other team looks mighty strong.
Whaddya think - did Yul give Becky the mini-idol going into TC?
I wondered that myself, but it would have been a galactically stupid move. Burn the idol when there’s still eighteen players left? He’d be Chapter One if Survivor Stupidity if he’d given it up on day nine. Or eight. Day something-in-the-single-digits.
I think I like the producers’ decision to give them a little more food (or more access to food) this time around. Listening to them whine about how hungry they are isn’t good television. Nor is watching someone’s hair fall out from malnutrition.
As dumb as some people think the knee-socks-and-shorts looks on girls is as nothing compared to one knee sock and shorts. What the hell was up with that?
The TWOP recapper mentioned last week that Cecelia was just gorgeous in a whole-body, healthy, eats real food and works out kind of way, rather than the big teeth and huge, sparkly eyes cute skinny girl kind of way we normally get on survivor. Parvati would be the latter type (along with Jenna, HeiDDi and their ilk). I’m sorry to see Cecelia go.
So, is it my imagination or, after voting off Sekou and Billy, did they really have no dead weight left? Even Cao Boi’s holding his own in the challenges.
How the hell did the rest of the asians not point out that Cao Boi could go home right now?
Mainly because they saw Becky as the bigger threat/sneak/puppetmaster. They also need Jonathan’s strength to win the challenges coming up. You don’t kill off your strongest members until you absolutely have to.
I remember seeing Candace walking(?) to EI, but don’t recall them showing any of her time there. Do they keep giving the exiled folk clues, and have them futilely dig up the sandspit? Sounds kinda cruel, but it could make for a few entertaining moments.
I think they have to, otherwise it becomes apparent who has the Immunity Idol. I think they just edited out the futile digging because it would be boring TV.
Actually, in the rules Yul read, they made reference to individual immunity idols, plural, so I’m thinking they’re going to bury more than one, which would be awesome, particularly if Yul gets sent back and they bury it in the same place…
Once again, because nobody else is doing it:
The imitation RICH RANKINGS:
FORGOT TO FILE A 1040- I guess you couldn’t outwit everyone!
Cecilia: We warned you this would happen if you didn’t do something interesting
EATING BEEF JERKY- You’re still playing, but you’re praying for a tribe scramble!
Ozzy: No personality, not enough allies, not much hope.
Sundra: Merge-whacked. Went from a great position to a terrible one.
Parvati: Do you honestly think men are going to hand you a million dollars because you smile at them?
Jenny: Still has not managed to do anything of note. See what happened to Cecelia.
WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT A MERGE?- Middle of the pack players, the lotta ya!
Cao Boi: As annoying as ever and now seen as a potential threat.
Adam, Christina, and JP: You guys all had a quiet week.
HEY! LOOK AT HIS MOHAWK-You might make the merge, but you’re grimacing from the jury row!
Jessica: Stop dithering and pick a side.
Rebecca and Stephannie: Two more people who had a quiet week. But they’re in a pretty good position.
LOOKING FOR A BIG TOM TO ENGLISH DICTIONARY- Big Tom has spent more combined days on the show than anyone. But he didn’t quite grab the brass ring.
Brad: Quickest recovery from the merge. And probably immune to Parvati.
Nathan: A huge jump forward with the merge. Went from ‘odd man out’ to ‘fearless octopus hunter’.
Jonathan: You’re playing well. Just don’t make too many enemies.
Candice: Why did she get targetted for exile island? Do the others see her as a leader?
ARE YOU A RAT OR A SNAKE?- Reserved for a MAXIMUM of two players. You have to be in the driver’s seat for this spot.
Becky: Might be able to ride the “quiet #2” strategy all the way to a final twist.
Yul: Managed to break up the rebel alliance; the Force is strong in this one.
Oh god, yes. Mwaahaha, watch me seduce the poor innocent male with my Feminine Wiles! And it’ll probably work, because we men are dumb.
(Has she gone through her whole life with people saying “Havarti? Like the cheese?”)
And thank God that they’ve shuffled the tribes, since the entire nation has been on the brink of race war for the past 3 weeks.
I will go on record right now and say that I’ll bet her flirting is being played up in the editing so that when the guys all turn on her and she gets voted out, it seems like a shocker. It was just too…obvious to me. Draelin hath called it.
This strategy worked for Jenna Morasca. Remember, we’re not playing Global Thermonuclear War, here. Other winning strategies have been “I’ll vote for anybody but me”, “I’m a nicer person than Lil,” and “I never lose a challenge.”
Little Nemo, thanks so much for handling the Rich Rankings. I’ve gotten hooked on the Café Society Survivor threads in recent seasons (mostly as a lurker, obviously) in large part because of the Rankings and it’s great to see them being kept alive. And, not only alive but in fine form to boot.
Middleman, if you’re still around in lurk mode, thanks to you, too, for all the work on the previous seasons.
I seriously think this was a move to keep her safe from ouster, at least until there are more people at Loser Lodge to keep her from stalker!Billy.
