So close, Libertarian, but you lost points for going over fifty words without saying “duuuude”.
Did they say in the beginning that there are king cobras and reticulated pythons ON THE ISLAND?
The survivors sure didn’t seem concerned as they romped around the jungle, swinging from vines and climbing rock walls. I keep thinking that someday SOMEBODY (undoubtedly a clueless 20 year old) is going to get bit by something bad and have to leave…
Oh, I do hope it’s Robb.
I’m sure that I must know somebody who knows Jed:
While he was in his Jr. and Sr. years at Baylor as a Biology students (1997-1998 and 1998-1999), I was at there taking coursework for my PhD in Geology. Same building (Sid Rich), Same floors (1 & 2), different wings… hmm… In fact, I’ll bet I know exactly which of my geo-pals knows him…
This is nearly as good as my Colby Connection, and probably just as interesting.
students => student
was at there => was there
Yuck. Need coffee.
Finally got around to watching this.
I really, really think CBS should just go ahead and make the first episode an hour and a half. That’s when we’re just getting to know everyone and they haven’t even set up yet. Maybe John was oblivious, but you couldn’t prove it by me from the five or six minutes I saw of him.
What else…well, I hardly know anything about anyone, so I’m not about to make any wild prognostications. I will say that Chai Sook (I’m no good with Chinese names; don’t expect me to be an expert on Thai) better enjoy their advantage while it lasts. They were lucky to win this time, and I don’t see a lot of cooperation right now.
Robb is out of his freaking mind. Good lord, are there still completely oblivious dolts who still buy into that “bad guys always win Survivor” tripe? Let’s get this straight: Richard Hatch was a goddam FLUKE. Anyone who tries to follow in his footsteps is going to get slaughtered.
Nicknames: how about “Hermie” for Jed? He wants to be a dentist…sing with me: “Why am I such a misfit…I am not just a nitwit…”
This is the first Survivor where the first episode didn’t deal with making a fire. It was never discussed…just there in the background, lo! a fire. Did they hand out matches?
I suspect they must have handed out fire-making equipment. With the monsoons, it would be darned difficult to keep a fire going at the young 'uns camp without matches or a lighter.
I was wondering that about the fire myself. Here I was, reading through this whole two-page thread, with that question in the back of my head to ask when I made it to the end, and BOOM! There it was. Twice. At the very end. I hate it when that happens.
I read somewhere that the tribes were given flint and steel to make fire.
About the crying thing… re-watching the end last night, it appeared that Ghandia’s crying was more of a relief thing, rather than an upset thing. That age-old “THANK GOD IT WASN’T ME!!” bawl. I have no clue what Jan’s problem was. She does seem a bit overly emotional, and I suspect we’re going to see a lot of her lack of stability next week when she and Helen get lost.
Nope, that wasn’t me. I guess it’s just a pretty obvious nickname. Although I like “Suck Job” better than mine.
Forgive me, please…I promise there will not only be three (possibly four) Big Brother recaps by the end of the week, but also at least one and probably two Survivor recaps. I’ve just been chronically sidetracked the last week…
Maybe they meant ON THE EURASIAN LANDMASS?
Heh heh heh.

Jed’s DWI arrest from the smokinggun:

check out the video from the booking!
Yes, they (well, Jeff Probst did) said there were snakes ON the island. They also showed footage of a snarling monkey and a nasty-looking spider.
I got the impression the wildlife was a big danger this time around.
I’m surprised that no one has ever been bitten by something and had to leave the game.
Mark Burnett was interviewed by the morning deejays of a local radio station, and he indicated that the biggest problem they had on the island was snakes. He said he had to hire a bunch of snake wranglers to come and remove snakes.
Now I’m visualizing the Crocodile Hunter making a guest appearance…
“Crikey! That’s a beeyootiful specimen of the Common Arsehole, Robbus Skateboardius! Now Ah’m goin’ to stick my finger in 'is anus and see how 'e reacts!”
