suicidal? the women lost. How much deader can dead be?
Did the challenge require them to get Kat across first? Once it was obvious that she was clueless, couldn’t they just have had someone else get across and have Kat be the last one to go to the platform?
Well, yeah. I mean trying such a strategy wouldn’t help the girls any. They might not have been totally humiliated, but they still would have lost badly.
I think once you had everyone lined up, that was the lineup. Besides, how could someone get to the other side of Kat to be first? At that point, you’re doing the challenge backwards, and twice.
There was probably a rule that only your feet were allowed to touch the beam. Otherwise you could have just hung from the beam by your hands, with your feet braced against it, and monkeyed your way past the other players.
That’s what they wound up doing - Monica eventually was the first one across. She jumped in the water and went to the beginning so she could show everyone else how to do it.
Did I catch this right? In the preview for next week, while we’re watching the girls shivering in their hut during the storm Colton says something to the effect of “I don’t believe in handouts?” This from the guy who was handed a HII?
Of course a season of Survivor without contestant hypocrisy wouldn’t let me get all RO on it…
Kat told the other women she was great at balancing and thought she had it in the bag.
At least there’s not a revival every week. That’s a relief.
Can’t link from here, but Dalton Ross’s recap at ew.com is hilarious. A lot of attention paid to Kat’s charming strategy of farting on people.
I think he said, “Hey, I’m a Republican. I don’t believe in handouts.”
I don’t mean to generalize, but I did not picture him as the Republican kind of guy.
Yeah, he said “I’m a Republican.” I did not see that coming.
Maybe someone can explain or clarify something for me on the balance beam challenge. At one point Kat knocked someone in the water as she was trying to get around them. I think it may have been Monica. Then Kat jumped in the water and Jeff said she didn’t need to even though she just knocked the person she was trying to go around into the water. So… why not just knock everyone in the water and walk on your way to the end. Sure all those knocked in the water will have to go back and get on the balance beam again, but if you have someone who has already demonstrated that they can’t do the task and they are near the long end of the line, go for it.
I also loved how when Kat voted she said she wouldn’t have thrown retired cop under the bus like that. Right after she just got done throwing Christina under the bus! People can’t keep their stories straight for a minute in this game.
Yeah, absolutely cannot stand Colton. His over-the-top gay stereotype mannerisms aside, he’s just being an asshole. Constantly hanging out with the other tribe and doing nothing but pouting? Ugh.
Sad they voted out Nina. I like Christina and Sabrina and that’s about it for the girls. Haven’t really seen enough of the men yet.
Was really happy to see the reward challenge, but… why not just make it a real one with Jeff? Was he too busy? I’m also pretty sure that they won’t actually be bringing back reward challenges and it’s just a one-time thing.
Colton can’t win with this strategy, but he’s getting to the end. Book it.
Why wouldn’t they bring back reward challenges? They’ve always done two challenges per episode, but last season one of the challenges was the duel.
Also, they announced that DIY challenges would be a part of the season, but they wouldn’t be doing them all the time. I think everyone just skimmed over that part because the man vs. women on the same beach was bigger news.
Chelsea is the one who caught the two chickens in the previous episode. In this episode we learn that she has scary mutant eyebrows. Highly distracting.
This is quite the eye candy season. No complaints from me, heh.
Two-chicken Chelsea has a necklace that has a couple of words dangling from it, but I can’t make out what they say. At first I thought it said “Big Dog” but I don’t think that’s right. The second word starts with “D” for sure.
And no, this is not just an excuse to stare at her chest. At least as far as you know.
Who looks at the eyebrows?
Am I imagining things, or did the ladies have make-up on at TC?
Colton is almost too over the top to believe. Can anyone actually be like that?
The second word was “Dang”, I believe. Not sure what was above it, though.
Chelsea is unbelievably gorgeous. Between her and Kim and Monica, this is a knockout cast.
I think it looks like Kat has permanent mascara on or something. It’s odd because it’s only her bottom lashes that have that odd appearance.
I love how the men treat the little person as a normal dude. He can really come in handy later if they have challenges where you have to carry someone…
The one woman with ratty hair is annoying.
Can’t believe they got rid of Nina over Kat. Geesh.
Yeah, Colton needs to go, pronto.
