re: Carolina - who wears cowboy boots to a tropical island? :rolleyes: I couldn’t stand her voice or attitude longer than one episode, so glad she’s gone.
Sandy had no clue what a pace was.
So far I like the nerdy glasses guy from New York and the Mormon.
I don’t even think Sandy knows what a palm tree is. After she got the clue about the palm tree, they showed her standing with a palm tree within her view, and she just looked clueless.
Then, just before the tribe left for tribal council, they cut to a scene of her digging around some small tree that was anything but a palm tree.
That’s what cemented it for me. At first I thought “Hey, they’re just showing us one angle. There could be lots of palm trees all around her.” Then when she was digging, I gave up.
Also, I love the combination of “follow a bunch of clues to get the HI” and “the HI is back at camp.” This could make it really hard to find it. Especially if the clues lead off that beach. Won’t be as simple as getting rid of everyone for a while.
That’s true. But they also had rules that you had to play the HII before the vote. Had she actually found it, would they have allowed her to play it after the vote?
They changed those rules a while back; the HII is played after the vote, but before Jeff reads the tally.
The producers probably told Jeff that no one had the idol, so he better not say anything. Or maybe the idol comes with instructions that say that the idol must be played before the votes are read.
Why did Probst give fire to the losers? Thought winning the IC gave you fire and here he tossed a flint at the losers.
They started doing that a couple seasons ago. I guess they figured that once they get dehydrated, they have less and less chance to win and get fire.
Everyone must have heard “pacing back and forth” once in their life. You know it’s walking. I can understand if you haven’t been a boyscout or in the military you don’t know exactly what a pace count is, but it’s got to be either little steps or big steps and there’s only ten of them! We’re not talking kilometers. When she started digging up little shrubs and ignoring the lone palm tree I started thinking “not the sharpest spear in the tribe.”
I like Coach, but think he’s doomed. He said almost exactly what I said on the first page. Vote off the weaklings. You know this is survivor of the weakest. At least once take the strong ones with you and lose to them, instead of the weakling schemers, who will absolutely take you out the first IC you lose.
In 120 degree heat, there’s no way they can let these people drink dirty water or die of dehydration. Sorry folks, this season of Survivor was canceled due to every one dying the first week.
He said what I said about keeping the strong and voting out the weak. You said the opposite. Twice.
The first is how it actually happens. The second you deliberately misquoted. Nice cherry quote.
umm… I dunno if you’ve read any of the interviews with the producers, but that’s the purpose of the entire show. They actually get kind of annoyed when the jocks and cheerleaders pound the nerds into the sand, and they pull some pretty wild gyrations to keep that from happening.
Plus it was over 100 degrees out. If they had withheld fire, and by extension, water too long and someone collapsed and/or died, then they would have been up shit creek without a paddle.
