Yeah, remember the show is on Wednesdays now! So what’s with the crazy bitch on the old tribe? ---

This just might be the best season of Survivor ever. OK, maybe not, but it is damn entertaining. Shannon goes for the crazy trifecta with being a) completely off-the-wall paranoid, b) a complete homophobe, and c) burning bridges because he believes someone done him wrong. But he wasn’t the craziest. Naonka goes completely batshit insane by yelling at Fabio for looking at her _after she stole his socks_. And she hates Kelly B for seemingly no reason. Probably because she was hoping “the one-legged girl” would fall flat on her face in a challenge and that would somehow make her look good. Oh, but even she wasn’t the craziest. That honor goes to Holly. Who loses her fucking mind and runs off into the woods with a bunch of snails while mumbling that they’ll kill you if you eat them. Dan calls her “Crazy as shit” and to prove just how sane she is, she steals Dan’s shoes, fills them with sand and throws them in the ocean. To top it off, she confesses to the group a few minutes later by draping herself all over Dan and giving him the crazy eyes. I love this season! ---

I’m guessing she hit the wall early. She seems to have calmed down a bit by the end of the show. Which I can’t say for Naonka. Jesus…did they change the rules of Survivor so the idea going into tribal council is to ATTRACT the most votes? I’m not sorry to see the person who went go at all. But if I were Sash, when he asked me (in tribal council!) if I were gay, I’d have shot back, “Why? Interested?” or maybe “Why does it matter?” Because my gaydar was pinging too loud for me to believe Sash’s retort that he’s had more beautiful girlfriends than the other person. Well, maybe, but it definitely isn’t the same meaning of “girlfriend”. I have to admit, though, that it would take me a REALLY long time to get around to the point where I could forgive someone who deliberately ruined a pair of $1600 shoes. ---

Apparently the are some psycho candidates on the young tribe too! I thought Fabio was going to start the Barney song in Tribal Council. ---

I love that the idea of dumping the shit stirrer (Naonka) was voted down within seconds while everyone debated over which strong tribe member to get rid of. Fabio is starting to look like the only sane man. ---

And I thought Kelly B switched her vote. I’ll have to rewatch it later. Does the audience know who’s gay this year yet? I haven’t checked [CBS.com](http://CBS.com) this season. ---

Hahahaha… I can’t wait for La Flor’s next entrance to the challenge. Maybe in ballet d’action? ---

What in the holy hell was THAT? I mean, besides awesome television. Also, and apropos of nothing: I kind of secretly love Tyrone for no particular reason. I know I usually have a “type” on this show, and Tyrone isn’t it, but there is something about him. ---

If not, why did he have expensive shoes with him? They had to have, because all the guys were wearing boxers last week. But this week, everybody’s in swimwear! ---

While Holly is batshit insane, I have no sympathy for someone who \*brings \*a pair of $1600 shoes to Survivor. :rolleyes: Why, why \*why \*does Naonka have to play the whole head-snapping, finger waving, sassy Black bitch stereotype? I am so thrilled and impressed that they actually voted out the douchey alpha male first! Those types usually stick around way too long because “they want to keep the tribe strong” and vote out the women. ---

> [@Justin\_Bailey](#): > > Does the audience know who’s gay this year yet? I haven’t checked [CBS.com](http://CBS.com) this season. Maybe it was a trick of editing, but it looked to me that Shannon’s “Are you gay?” comment missed Sash and hit Benry. But reading Benry’s short bio on the CBS page doesn’t hint at him being gay, so maybe it was editing. And the crazy lady who stole the shoes. She tied them together but they were untied when she tossed them in the water - She ties like a girl!!! ---

Yes, yes she did. This is going to be a fun season. The young punks are totally at a loss and will eat themselves like sharks. I’m really hoping that NaI’matotalbitchka goes next. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/survivor-weds-sept-22nd/554718.md?page=2)
