I been looking for the Kat Ponderosa videos on youtube to see Kat’s breakdown and what is said between the jurors. I guess they are not there yet. From what I have seen at Ponderosa so far:
(just a mild spoiler)
The guys are going to be a bunch Bitter Bettys
If I load them from CBS, it locks up my computer.
I’d go with stoned, confused, and blissfully unaware. Kat also bears a striking resemblance to Bill S. Preston, Esq. But maybe that’s just me.
On the other hand,
I dunno, it seemed like a shared joke between close (perhaps too close, but wtf do we care?) friends. I’ve got good friends that I share running jokes, funny expressions, gestures, etc. that nobody would ever get unless they were, well, us. The ‘doggy’ thing seemed like that sort of thing to me: shared humor.
So Kat got to spend time with her cousin-brother, soon to be here husband.
But you know, Kim has to be secretly smiling becase say what you will about Kat, she’s pretty good at the challenges, and makes it all that much easier for Kim to sweep the rest of them. But she better win them all, because she’s got a huge target on her back.
Is Alcia part black? Her sister sure seemed to be, but maybe they are only half sisters. Sorry, but I can’t help notice this sort of thing.
Yeah, I was a little creeped out that Chelsea and Christina both called their dads “daddy” and then Kat got down on all fours for her cousin.
What’s wrong with “Daddy”?
I’ve always found it vaguely creepy when adult women call their fathers “daddy”, or when adult men call their mothers “mommy.” It’s just a little off to me, not as much as getting down on all fours and crawling to one’s cousin.
I only watched the first season so my questions is is this show about surviving anymore? I remember people resorting to eating rats and one dude losing a crapload of weight.
Is it still the same type show?
It is demphasized, but they do still lose quite a bit of weight.
I noticed that the “loved ones” of almost all the players were their immediate family - siblings, parents, cousin - and not spouses, apart from Tarzan. Are they all single?
I don’t get the vehemence back at camp after Kat chose her companions for the reward. Why was everyone so aggrieved that Christina and Tarzan didn’t get chosen? Because they and/or their loved one seemed likely to die sooner? Weird reason to “deserve” to go on a picnic with them.
Most people forget that the eating rat scene happened about a week into the first season, when they started with with a lot more supplies than they do now. They weren’t starving, they werej ust really trying to play up the surviving angle.
So the down on all 4’s thing was a little weird but when I was a little younger than Kat my best friend and the closest person to me in the world was my cousin. She and I are the same sex but we were roommates and if I had done something like survivor and she wasn’t the one I chose for the family visit she would have murdered me. In fact when I joined the airforce she was the only family member I wrote to and called on any sort of regular basis during basic training.
Since we were the same size I wouldn’t have been able to greet her the same way but the babbling would likely have happened and I would have been weeping all over her because we lived and worked together and a whole month a part is a lifetime when you’re that young. Kat and cousin’s greeting didn’t creep me out, it made me miss Shari.
The Kat/cousin thing, by iteself , isn’t that creepy. It’s the whole package, of which that is just one part.
I liked the part where they gave them the iPhone to use.
I think, though, that Survivor has changed with regard to provisions. No one seems terribly concerned about hunting & gathering, whereas in past seasons we’ve seen them rationing rice. They’re either choosing locations with abundant natural food supplies, or quietly supplying them with a subsistence level of food. (The first season in Africa, I recall that their only water was a pitiful muddy spring.)
Food is certainly not the issue it was in earlier episodes. Being able to provide food for the tribe seemed like a good strategy for staying in the game, but not so in recent series.
Yeah, that would explain why the providers got kicked off so fast this season. They weren’t needed after the shelter was constructed and once the parasites / oldsters / lazy folk felt safe and comfy.
It’s my WAG that the producers don’t want to be sued for medical issues that could be related to starvation/dehydration, so they’re taking precautions against it.
While the early seasons were more about “surviving” than the recent ones, a lot of the show consisted of people lying around camp bitching about being hungry. Not really compelling television.
I don’t mind the producers keeping the “survivors” well-nourished and hydrated. I’m just tired of watching them make a big deal out of giving them food rewards. That’s not compelling television either. Give them food, but don’t spend twenty minutes of the episode focusing on the feast you’ve provided for them. I don’t need to see that.
I’m absolutely pulling this out of my ass, but I would guess that the producers provide the survivors with adequate supplies of rice and fresh water, and choose locations with bananas and coconuts falling out of the sky, literally. A little short on protein, though – so it’s up to them to get fish, crabs, snails, chickens, etc.
But not a lot of fat and sugar…so those would definitely be “worth playing for”, as Probst says ever freakin’ week.
