Survivor Season 30 (spoilers)

I can’t watch this anymore, I’m not a Capricorn :slight_smile:

OK, that was a pretty enjoyable 2-hour episode. The guy from Boston needs to keep his yapper shut. And monkey-girl has no clue that she’s so hated, although she should be able to figure it out after the vote at TC. I only wish they hadn’t made the mix-up so random. Maybe choose an equal number of guys and girls for the two tribes.

Those kinds of mixups remind me that there cannot possibly be collusion by the producers. It’s a very lopsided result and I fear for all the girls. But really! They need to hold themselves to a higher standard! :dubious: What a maroon!
Those guys are kind of stupid though, so they might be willing to throw a challenge just to get someone out. But not for a few weeks.

Not just that, but they cut it to look like they were talking to Jeff about her, not talking to her directly. Between that and the blindfold, it made it look pretty much like they cared more about the game than the person. That sucks.

Oh, for what it’s worth, this show just keeps on becoming less and less appealing and less interesting and entertaining as the seasons roll on by.

I’m sure that many of you may not feel the same way. But I just wanted to get my opinion in on the record here for what it’s worth.

Please feel free to skip this post if you are not interested in reading my trauma.

I do hope that most of you are enjoying this season. There are plenty of good developments that have been employed this season. But, try as I may, I just cannot get enthusiastic about this show any longer.

I believe that I had a pretty decent reason for wanting to post something in this forum but I just can’t remember what that was now.

Perhaps it had something to do with my hobby. Oh well, I would tell you you about my hobby except that I think most of you would respond along the lines that I am just wasting your time and you don’t appreciate that.

So, sorry!

I’m sorry. I never should have spoken about any hobby.

That just has nothing to do with this forum. It’s about writing a collection of Windows Utility and I think I should just say goodbye now rather than say anything about my collection of Windows Utilities.

Sorry. And Goodbye!

I feel like I’m watching Swingers, when Jon Favreau calls the girl.

Charlie, you’re trying too hard at this point.

Well, I thank you. Part of me feels like disagreeing with you and starting a fight.

But, what would be the point?

I’m just too tired and can’t muster up what it would take for a fight.

So it would be so much better just to go to sleep.

You know? Good night.

Y’know, for all the prep the show puts into their challenges, that two-sided pulley being operated by blindfolded people is, dumb, dumb, dumb. If super-cool cop lady had gotten (more) seriously injured, she we would have had grounds for a lawsuit, waivers be damned. That is crazy negligent. Even Jeff knew it was dangerous before she got hurt.

Was commenting to Moonwife just before the tribe mix how much I don’t like them because too often they result in: a.) lopsided competitions; b.) contestants getting randomly screwed. That said, I’m liking this season quite a bit, but wish they had kept the respective Collars together a little longer. Both the inter- and intra-tribe dynamics were pretty interesting. IMHO, this season has so many watchable cast members (for different reasons) it’s almost a blessing Vincy Coconuts got bounced early.

Funny how the editors/producers made no lame attempt to leave us suspense as to whether someone we liked (Will) or disliked (nut cases) would get bounced. Nope, just a proverbial horserace to determine who was more annoying. Sweet.

They’ve made it clear in other medical situations that anything the medics do which could affect game play takes the player out of the game. They can bandage them up and give them some fluids, but that’s about it.

I was amazed that Monkey Sex Girl had the cluelessness to look so shocked when Bearded Guy got voted off, after listening to everybody else say “yeah, there’s going to be a blindside, and man are those two people annoying…”

“But we’re EXECUTIVES! We’re essential! This is anarchy!”

I’m mystified why a tribe of all women + 1 dude would vote off the 1 dude. Physical challenges are a huge part of this game and testosterone is a huge advantage in many of the things they’re asked to do, such as hauling heavy objects over sand. I’d have gotten rid of monkey woman before the dude.

Honestly, this season has been a total snoozer. It’s sad but I miss the crazy coconut salesman.

Better to vote off Monkey Girl first and at least preserve the muscle for one more challenge. He ain’t going anywhere.

I’m not sure that you can take reaction shots as having really happened in the way that they are portrayed. It could have been a creative edit.

Will: Hey, now…

Sorry Will. Can’t be sure unless you walk around with your pants off a few times.

They’re expecting a two-tribe merge Real Soon Now and didn’t want Max hanging around for possible individual challenge wins.

Yeah, not a great season so far, but sometimes it will really pick up when they get to the merge.
