“Jeff, can we see the last two votes?”
Hey, it doesn’t hurt to ask.
Kind of a boring episode. All I’ve learned is that I don’t like that “Dude, I’m jacked up to be here right now!” guy.
I always thought it was kinda unfair that they both 1) obviously changed the order the votes were read in but 2) didn’t reveal all the votes if they didn’t need to. I can see one or the other (i.e., read votes randomly and stop if needed, or read them all) but it does seem a bit unfair in that the producers can choose to withhold certain information. Based on the preview for next week it’ll cause some anger…
And yeah, geez Bill, knock it down a bit. Colton came off as kinda racist with his “ghetto trash” comment, but Bill does strike me as the guy who would annoy the heck outta me. Just because he’s a total Bro.
Pretty funny how bad the guys were at the reward challenge.
But we know that they’re not hiding anything, because a closer vote makes for better tv so they read all the “make it close and dramatic” votes first. That means that all unread votes are always for the person who was voted out.
This episode could have been different but I’m not sure how they’d know they could mess with them that way. The only reason I say this is because they intentionally (and obviously) didn’t show us the two unread votes at the end when they normally show us all the votes.
Did I miss something? I always assume any unread votes are for the person who lost. When they showed the votes at the end it looked to me like everyone voted for Matt except Matt, who voted for Colton, and the tall dark-haired “rooster” who always has his buff around his head who voted for Bill.
Buff on Head Guy obviously hasn’t made much of an impression on me, he might be all right, but it looks like Colton’s alliance formed in opposition which doesn’t say much for the “roosters” intelligence. They should have been sure to include one of the “average Joe’s” to solidify their position. For the past couple weeks I’ve been wondering if they know how to count. I’m not really rooting for any of the men at this point. Troy and Tarzan seem all right but the other Joe’s are still fuzzy to me. That doesn’t include Colton. He needs to go soonest. He doesn’t want to give the women a hand out? They gave him an immunity idol. I felt bad for him when he was the outsider but as he gets cocky he’s pretty insufferable.
It was good to see the women win for a change. While the men were sitting there wondering what the women were thinking when they kept coming over to get stuff but didn’t want to make a deal… um, hello? They got stuff without having to make a deal, of course. The women’s dynamic is interesting. Kat is likable but clearly a liability. Maybe she can show enough to keep her alliance strong. Maybe not. They didn’t show anyone blaming Sabrina for poorly directing her tribemates. If she did, that is. Given how it is edited maybe when one couple had to wait it was because she was trying to straighten out some hapless pair somewhere else. So far all of the women are OK with me. Except Alicia. She needs to go right after Colton.
Obviously an anticlimatic episode – only 4 replies so far?
I wouldn’t want to get caught in a torrential tropical downpour either, but I wanted to slap those women who whined about it while standing in the middle of it!
If the women had gone to TC, I wonder if Kat would have been their first choice. How many times did she have to repeat the memory challenge – seven? Eight?
What could the guys do to prevent the women from standing around their fire? Could they physically remove them from their camp? Because there is no way I would let them use my camp’s supplies without some kind of deal being struck first.
No to the bolded. That would constitute assault, which is against the rules and will get you DQ’d immediately.
During the ‘rooster’ conversation SO said Matt was really arrogant. I said, 'He’s blond, tall, attractive, trim, fit, and a lawyer. Do you really think he’s arrogant? 
’
I’d go nuts if I were stuck on an island with Colton. The whole camp act is just too over-the-top. Or maybe I’d get used to it. As it is I’m like, ‘Yes, yes, we know you’re gay. You don’t have to be onstage 24/7. You’re being the tiniest bit boring.’ (He did have a couple of good self-targeted one-liners, though.) I can see how he wouldn’t like Bill. He’s another one who seems to be ‘onstage’ a lot – which is understandable since he’s a stand-up comedian. But it’s odd that Mr. Irony would target him because he doesn’t like the sound of his voice when Matt was such an obvious threat. Kick out the guy who’s mildly annoying? Or kick out the arrogant ‘winner’ who wants to get rid of you? Hmmm… I’m glad he came around.
We didn’t see much of Leif this episode. I think he’s pretty cool.
Kim is hot. Just sayin’.
‘Quid pro quo, ladies. We’ll give you fire, but you have to give us something in return.’ The women had some gall begging fire and shelter without offering anything in exchange. The men were being a bit dickish. Occasional use of the boat is a lot to ask. OTOH cold, wet, pruney hands can be incredibly painful. The women needed warmth and they should have been willing to make a bargain. They seem confused as to why the men won’t just give them what they want. But I suspect the men have been played before in their lives, and they’re onto them. The men should have asked all the women to come over at once, and then offer their terms instead of being dicks two at a time.
The thing I always find amazing is that so few people come so unprepared to survive. I think there have been only three or four people who were able to get a fire started on their own. The ladies evidently did not think it would ever dare to rain, and thus did not lay in a supply of firewood and protect it from the elements.
Any tenderfoot boy scout knows better than this
Well it’s obvious to me that the ‘Muscle alliance’ originally had 5 members, and I’m not sure who flipped. Maybe Troyzan. Because if they went into game thinking they only needed 4 people to control the vote, they need to take an arithmetic lesson. I was hoping Troyzan would say to him, “It took you until the day we are going to Tribal Council to count to five?!”
Unfortunately for them, as they start eliminating the strongest, they will probably lose their hold on the game.
I hate to say it, but Colton is certainly playing Survivor. Which I can appreciate more than I hate.
What drives me crazy is that if this had been a “normal” (separate camps) survivor, the girls wouldn’t be able to beg for stuff from the guys. What would they have done then? Just curl up and die?
Reading that, it’s as if you’re unzipping your pants.
I’m not exactly filled with pride at my gender this season.
Seriously, who the hell goes on Survivor without doing a whole lot of fire-making practice?
They would have just been miserable and weaker in the challenges.
I don’t think playing for 2nd place is the same thing as playing Survivor. Well, he is playing. Playing to lose. He needs to stop being so self-centered and start building relationships with people. If you are the person everyone despises then you have a very good chance to make it to the end but none of winning the million dollars. Seriously, this guy is supposed to be the big fan of the show? He’s clueless. He’s powerful now because they need his vote but once one more Rooster gets voted out the Regular Joes won’t have to put up with him anymore.
I think the drama from the preview is most likely just hype. One of the Roosters will go next. Really the big question now on the men side should be, how long before they drop their buffs and shuffle the teams around. And which ones are going to have to go live at the women’s camp?
Why the hell aren’t they cohabitating? I can only conclude that the producers mandated they maintain separate camps.
When Colton was seething the ‘Head on a Platter’ line in the next episode teaser, I’m pretty sure I spotted guyliner.
Same. The only thing that’s saving my sanity is that some of the women on the damn beach seem to feel the same. Monica’s done a few eyerolls when no one (but the camera) are watching her.
It would piss me off more, that they got my dry bed, wet. :mad:
Also…
Ember - A small, glowing piece of coal or wood, as in a dying fire.

Amber** - brownish-yellow fossil resin, used for making jewelry and other ornamental objects.
I was surprised that Monica mis corrected one of the blondes.
