Any bets on who gets voted off tonight? I’m thinking either Gervase or Rudy. ---

Ramona said the woman teacher is the survivor, however that may just be a programming trick. Tonight, SEX! Yep. Supposed to be a huge draw. Final is going to be two hours long. ---

Depending on which team has to do the voting, I’ll pick Richard (Their little coalition isn’t likely to last very long, so I figure it fails tonight) or Joel, for no other reason than I figure someone has to screw up the lovefest in that group and he was the only name I could remember. ---

Admit it, I will. I only watch the show because you can see the women in skimpy bikinis, especially Colleen. ---

The women don’t have very big breasts, do they? Today on the talkshow some guy said he knows that the person who wins is that Navy Seal. Every day they have a new person whos gonna win. dirk got voted off. He did say early in the show that it was the first time in two weeks that he took a shit. I can only imagine what they are eating. ---

\*\*\* Spoiler ahead \*\*\*\*\* The winner of the show was/is Gretchen the survival chick. Someone else comes out the closet in a future show. Not that that matters, of course. ---

CNote, garshdarnitalltoheck - when you say “spoiler” put some damn space so we can choose not to look. That being said, I do not trust your info - and now I hope its wrong. I have thought Gretchen was gonna win too, but it was a guess \*\* and I did not want to know who won !!!\*\* So you better be wrong or there will be an ebola ridden goat on your doorstep with a note that says “feltch me”. :mad: ---

I agree with nothing man, putting spoiler aheadm and then the winner on the next line really sucks. Thanks for ruining the whole fucking show. I bet you tell little kids the truth about santa too. ---

I saw this show for the first time. I’m still so damn nauseated I can hardly choke down my coffee! What a bunch of whiny, pissy, sniveling, half-wits. Where the hell are the headhunters when you need them? ---

The Outback? Hell, put them in a slow-leaking rubber raft out in the the shark invested waters of the Pacific for 60 days. First one who whines gets thrown overboard. Now THAT would be worth watching! ---

Y’know Diane, If I had to be on a deserted isiland with someone, you would be it. What creature in its right mind would oppose you! Um, scratch that, I think you might be the cannible type.😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*\* > > I agree with KT, the guys are always clean shaven, the women’s hair is nice, no one has the big sunburns on their backs or noses, the clothes are clean too, they didn’t have any soap for awhile. Also, Ramona who knew about the secret water stash got voted off, which is odd. > \*\* Secret water stash? What secret water stash? Each team has a map to the fresh water hole, the only fresh water on the island. Is that what you mean? I saw no secret water stash. Also, someone’s personal item was shampoo, so I’m sure she’s been sharing a little. One person brought a razor, and the other guys do have quite a bit of scruff. There was an episode that showed people putting sun lotion on, which I’m sure is provided by the show. It would just be dangerous and irresponsible to not do this. The point is, this show is not about surviving an island. Its about surviving a social experiment - which the producer of the show has admitted from day one. ---

There is no proof that Gretchen won, its just a rumor. There is a rumor that the Navy Seal won too. BTW: That Island is a state park & they have snake handlers bringing in the snakes. Sure isn’t much food there though. ---

O.K… Point well taken, bad manners on my part. I will learn to be more courteous in the future. If it makes you feel any better, I found out from my inside friend that he was just screwing with me. Wrong info. Are we all friends again? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/survivors/21294.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/survivors/21294.md?page=4)
