Did anyone else think the reward challenge was straight out of MXC (Most Extreme Elimination Challenge)? I kept expecting Kenny and Vic to show up and start talking about the Swinging Nards of Doom. Cody’s 5 minute psych up followed by a fall is a classic MXC stunt as well.
“Right you are Ken!”
Hey, I didn’t say they weren’t stupid. 
Not to mention the enormous amount of touchup color she’ll need after a few weeks out in the sun without protection.
: Glances at Green Bean’s location :
Um… Hey! What’s that over there? I better go check it out. Bye!
DAMNIT! I forgot to add that to my post! I absolutely made the same connection.
I think I will start calling Propst “Guy La Douche.”
While that may be true now, it wasn’t always that way. During the first Survivor, Burnett or Probst gave an interview with Entertainment Weekly or TV Guide where they said all Survivors were given unlimited supplies of razors, sunscreen and condoms. This is probably where hajario’s wife got her ideas from.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they still do it, the women’s legs are usually smooth as silk, even on day 39.
I don’t know … do you remember what Colleen’s legs looked like by the time she was voted out? 
I’m willing to bet that most of them get a wax right before heading out.
And then I get the following outfit:
Strong denim workshirt and pants
Long underwear and wool socks
Regular underwear
Shorts and t-shirt
Swimsuit
Insulated coat and gloves
Rain poncho with hood
Workboots
Big straw hat with a wide brim
Wool hat that pulled down over my head
Sunglasses
A 20x20 canvas tarp that I’d fold up and wear as a cape
And then I’d put on this entire outfit before getting on the plane at Newark and I’d refuse to take it off.
“Hey, Nemo, we’re going to take a few publicity shots. Why don’t you put on some nice light clothes and get in this boat with the other contestants?”
“No thanks, Jeff, I think I’ll keep on what I’m wearing. I’m into a layered look.”
For some disturbing reason, Little Nemo’s* post reminded me of that dirty talk episode of Seinfeld.
Are those the panties Mark Burnett laid out for you?
Slightly off topic—I’m asking for personal reasons. Is this the organization that Ian works for? My wife’s employer has a long-standing relationship with this outfit.
I’d be the same way. Plus, I’d have spare panties in ziploc bags in every pocket I could find on my person. Later I might be able to barter them to save my butt.
one thing i noticed about tom doing his pulling is he used his legs drastically. They showed him down there, he squated down, grabbed the rope and ‘stood up’ and it moved a lot. I don’t know if the muscle guys did that. that looked like fun, i wish I coulda done it.
off to have a glass of milk! Care to join me Smeghead??
Never mind—I should have looked a little bit more aggressively before I posted. Turns out that it is the organization that he worked for, and I was able to find a reference to it without too much brow sweat. :smack: Now I can go tell a little ten year old quadriplegic girl that one of her dolphin buddies is on TV. She’s never seen Survivor before, so it will be a surprise for her and it’ll put a smile on her face.
You’re quite right LDS women generally dress modestly and conservatively. Like all large groups of people, (12 million or more of us) there are various levels of participation and adherence within a wide spectrum that goes from those who choose not to wear shorts above the knee or swimsuits to those who wear as little as they want. Agency and choice are paramount. However, usually not without consequences, good or bad.
Typically (although there are exceptions) most young women do not make the covenant that includes the wearing of the garment until they are engaged to be married and shortly before the wedding, or until they leave home to serve a mission. It’s a sacred, serious covenant and not one that is lightly made by most members. My guess would be that this young woman, has not yet made this decision and covenant.
Finally if anyone who had made the covenant knew they were going to be placed in situation as publicly “out there” as Survivor, I would think the person would not wear it and choose more appropriate underclothing/swimwear for the activity *or * opt out of the activity altogether.
Abb, LDS, does wear modest “shorts”, shirts with sleeves, one piece swimsuit, not showin’ you her underclothing, and doesn’t want to see yours. 
Stopit! I’m trying to get some work done, and the phrase Swinging Nards of Doom has me giggling violently.
Maybe Ashley’s father is speaking to his daughter right now - “Young lady, I was just watching television and I want to talk to you about that ‘missionary’ trip you said you went on last year.”
"But daddy! The nice man in Hollywood kept talking about a “missionary position!”
