It’s a lovely hypocrisy, isn’t it? You usually see people whining that they were stabbed in the back, that no one told them what was going on, or that people can’t be honest and talk to you face-to-face.
Well, Aras, that’s why. No one really wants to be told that they’re going home. They mght think they do, but it’s just not true.
I usually have a top three that I want to win that I form sometime around the merge.
The last three installments, one of my top three have won.
Of the installments I’ve seen:
Australia- Colby, Jeff and Rodger. No luck
Africa- Ethan, Frank, and Kelly. Ethan won, but I didn’t care.
All-Stars- Rob, Kathy, and Tom. I was mad for a week when Amber won.
Vanautu- Chad, Chris, and Rory. I was ecstatic when Chris outplayed Ami.
Palau- Tom, Ian and Steph. Tom was the most deserving winner ever.
Guatemala- Gary, Danni, and Rafe. Danni was my favorite.
Preliminary faves so far in Exile Island- Terry, Nick, and Misty
I think they’re trying to keep it a mystery. They showed about the same amount of footage for both trips to the island so far. I’m guessing they’re going to try to keep us wondering until it’s brought out one night with a dramatic flourish.
Sally the spear dropper needs to go. That’s just too stupid for words, floating around in deep water “ooh, can I play with that?” Whaddya bet, she goes far.
I don’t like Shane but not because he wants to quit. He’s an addict, pure and simple, and he is a little temporarily insane right now. Who knows what he’s addicted to besides nicotine & caffeine. I hope he stays for a couple weeks so at least the chemicals get out of his system.
Ara was funny. “One of you two is going home.” “No! No! Lie to us! Don’t tell us the truth! Oh my God, I can’t believe he just came out and told us the truth! I’m not into this New Age mumbo-jumbo, and I never will be!”
I kept expecting her to turn into that woman from Trading Spouses. “Satan! You work for Satan!!! I don’t want your devil’s money!!!”
It’s Danielle. I think she has pushup pads in her swimsuit top. It must be the removable type, because her boobs weren’t threatening to come through my tv screen lastweek.
That may turn out to be the case, but in her one bit of deception with the immunity idol, Misty has shown far more depth than Amber showed in the three shows I have watched with her on it!
And then whines how sorry she is while batting her eyelids with a big grin on her face. She was not only dumb enough to lose the spear, but too stupid too understand what a genuinely monumental fuck-up it was.
Great episode. I loved the challenges, especially the boat one. Imagine busting your butt like that and LOSING!! How freakin’ demoralizing.
But… I thought Jeff was a real jerk making Melinda cry. He knew what affect he’d have on her, and he had to know she was toast.
And Memento-Guy is out of his mind. He’s gotta go. I don’t care if he’s strong in the challenges, he’s wrecking the tribe spirit. He is a major league A-hole. He wants out, let him out!
Three days on Exile Island with no food and no water… not a single luxury! Brutal. Did I miss something about Jeff putting some provisions on the island? I saw that he got a flint.
Perhaps. But, then again, maybe Amber’s stuck in some kind of bizarro reality TV “Groundhog Day” world, where she keeps having to do this stuff over and over again until she proves she is capable of independent thought and/or eating 4 lbs of beef products.
Then again … maybe it’s punishment for us to have to keep seeing her over and over again. She’s not tragically hideously ugly; just so vapid that she makes my hair hurt.
They have a water barrel there, but the water needs to be boiled. Bruce got a flint, but I don’t think he ever did get a fire started. I think he broke his flint.
Is that what he said? I thought it sounded wierd. That guy is a bit scary and pretty annoying. I think he’ll be kicked out quickly.
I forgot about the water barrel. That makes sense-- I always remember the rule of 3s-- 3 minutes w/o air; 3 days w/o water; 3 weeks w/o food. All = death (+/-).
One was a coattail-riding warmbody with the body of a 9-year-old boy who won a million bucks on an undeserving second try because she was up against the biggest jerk in Survivor history, and the other, while perhaps a little off in her I-have-the-immunity-idol strategy, is an engineer, somewhat on the sexy side and will use either brains, body or both to (hopefully) stick around for a while.
