Coby, the hairdresser with the pink shirt and black bikini briefs.
My unofficial request for future airings of Survivor: Please, god, let them have some clothes to wear. They’ll show plenty of skin whilst wearing reasonable bathing suits, so the ratings will stay up, but there are some things I just don’t need to see, even if you don’t pixellate them out.
I’m not sure Jeff voted for James for any other reason than he had to vote for somebody. The best bet in these situations is to vote for someone that you know isn’t in danger of getting other votes.
I could definitely be wrong - but I got the distinct impression that his judgement was based on her being a woman, not for being a woman rubbing up on Jeff.
I think you have the teams confused. So far, Koror (the team containing my Beloved-Sexy-Stud-Nerd-Boy Ian and my Slightly-Less-But-Still-Much-Beloved Tom) has only won one RC: the very first one, which was also the IC, where they won the flint that quickly went into the drink. The Shark Hunters have no fishing gear.
It was Ulong that won the sewing kit, and with it the pins, string, etc. with which they intend to make fishing poles. They also have the Rupert … I mean, the Hawaiian sling, which they won last week in the RC.
Still doesn’t explain, though, why the team with the bolts of fabric still appears to be wearing significantly less at all times than the team with just the clothes on their backs. (Except for Coby’s Speedo incident.)
Yeah, and we know how bad that attitude turned out for Chris last season.
Wait a minute…
The quote was this:
I think he comes off sounding like a chauvanist pig, but I note that he’s refering only to Kim here. The attitude does not seem to be directed to any of the other women in his tribe. I think he’s griping because it appears that Kim is only playing the cuddling card and isn’t contributing to the rest of the tribe, either in the challenges or camp maintenance.
-DF
He didn’t have the swing vote, though. As it turned out, his vote was completely worthless, even had he voted for Kim; he got 4 votes, Kim 2 and James 1. That’s 4-3 no matter who that 3rd vote (which belonged to Jeff) is for.
Votes:
Angie – Jeff
Ibrehem – Jeff
Kim – Jeff
Stephenie – Jeff
Bobby Jon – Kim
James – Kim
Jeff – James (irrelevant)
Tom and Ian are hilarious. Them tossing those sticks in the water at the sharks was an absolute hoot. I hated that reward challenge, but the immunity challenge kicked ass.
I thought I heard the Ulong tribe mention using the fabric to make a tarp or something for their shelter, and that’s why we didn’t see them with any clothing made from it. Did I mis-hear that? I recall thinking that was actually a great idea at the time, but they never did show the results, if that’s what they did end up doing. Does anyone else remember this?
By the time Tribal Council came around, most of the women were sporting new toga tops, and I’m pretty sure James had himself a brand new shirt. And of course, Diaper Man made something. 
Even if he did intend that to be about all women (I too think that was aimed solely at Kim, who’s done nothing for Ulong so far), I’m sure he’s amended his opinion after Steph lasted much longer than he, and Coby for that matter, did in the IC. They may have lost it, but she didn’t seem to be suffering any more than Ibrehim was, or any a weaker link than him either, so it was a pretty impressive performance.
Sign me up for the Bobby Jon fan club. He ain’t dumb. Far from it.
Actually, the best plan would be to throw a challenge and vote him off in a mercy killing. If they were playing on an inland location such as Australia, then I think Willard would be okay. But the dude can’t swim and he has no physical strength. When you have so many challenges that involve swimming and diving, the team just can’t afford to keep him around. They don’t even have rice to eat. They’re going to need some sustenance soon, which means they’re going to have to win a RC. I know it sounds crappy, but Willard has to go.
Re the clothes - it takes awhile to sew a shirt. Bobby Jon had his diaper thing and another dude had made a crude shirt (a five or six foot length of cloth with just a neck cut out) but I think given time they’ll sew more elaborate outfits. Or, they might have decided to not cut the bolts of fabric at all and use them as blankets instead.
But I agree that the producers are going to have to give them clothes soon. Angie and Coby’s underwear are just too skimpy.
Re Caryn. I don’t necessarily think she’s a bitch; I just don’t think we saw everything that precipitated the blow-up. If Katie was indeed following her around and questioning every single thing that Caryn was doing, then I can see how it would get really annoying, esp. when you’re hungry and tired.
Perhaps. But this was Caryn’s SECOND “I want a confrontation” moment. If you fight with EVERYONE, chances are it is YOU.
That’s pretty much always a mistake. Willard may be a weak player physically but he’s a part of the tribe. And the bottom line is that you have to focus on the real goal of this game, which is the votes. Never surrender a single friendly vote.
I agree. You keep winning as much as you can. Much like sports teams that tank the regular season to get a better draft pick, losing can inspire MORE losing.
Yeah…I have two words for the “throw an IC and vote the weak link out” people.
Suk. Jai.
I must not have seen the season in question.
And it took every ounce of reserve I have not to respond, “Oh yeah, jayjay? SUK THIS?”
Hehe! Suk Jai were the “young & dumbs” from Thailand. They had won the first IC, then they threw the second because they wanted to get rid of, basically, the only person in the whole tribe who was doing anything about getting them food because…well, because they were stupid. After that, it was all downhill…IIRC, they lost the next three ICs, went into the merge (well, the fake-out merge) with about five people, lost THAT IC (and got rid of Shi Ann, who had been completely taken in by the fake-out merge and had forged WAY too many ties with the other tribe since their move to the beach), then were Pagonged after the actual merge, leaving the last half of the game to Chuay Guan (the other tribe).
Yes, but the players voted out this early are not jury members, so won’t have votes anyway.
I don’t think he meant the final vote. He meant don’t sacrifice tribe members who are likely to vote with you after the merge. Or, always strive to go into the merge with as much of your tribe intact as possible, which means no throwing of immunity challenges.
Rupert’s tribe during Survivor Pearl Islands tried this trick and they ended up losing momentum and lost the next four immunity challenges.
