Ok who is going to watch Survivor with me?

wasn't surprised to see Yas voted out.  But, her ouster undermined the tribe's captain (I think he is also named Russell).  That's got to shake his confidence a bit.   Poor Shambo--she really is such a hard worker and does a lot around the camp--but, letting a chicken get loose, after losing some snorkle equipment....her usefulness may be short-lived.     ...can't wait 'til Thursday.

Just watched last week's last night. Both Russells are something else but the fat Russell is just plain old creepy. His conversation with Liz was weird, like he was truly angry at her. Ashley was worthless, agreed. Shambo will make it to the merge! And all that rain - ugh!

Welcome back, Goldie!!!!  Hope your honeymoon and wedding were wonderful. 

Based on what I saw on the previews, it looks like the nice Russell goes down this week.  A quote from Jeff on the preview said "in 19 seasons, this was the scariest moment............"  All I saw was they were competing and Russell seemed to get dizzy and fell and hit his head on the side of a wooden box.  Looks like another one leaves without being voted out.

Honestly, I am beginning to think fat Russell is actually an actor planted on the show.  If that turns out to be true, I probably will stop watching Survivor - I want to root for real people.

Good question - he probably swipes them from his voted off comrades.

Are we ready for tonight?

Okay all of this rain is making for boring television.  The only "excitement" and I hate to use that word in this case was Russell's medical condition and it seems he recovered and doing better based on what he said at the end.

I don't normally watch survivor regularly, but the previews got me wanting to watch it. I agree with you Anne, both teams should have gotten the reward.

They really are suffering this year.  I found last night disappointing.  Too much rain, not enough srtategy.

Think most agree that this episode was rather bland, except for Russell's medical problem.  I wasn't too surprised that neither tribe won reward, but was surprised that at tribal council, Jeff announced that no one would be voted off.   With morale at such a low point for both tribes, it seems that each one losing another member would have made for more excitement and strategy and backstabbing for the next show......

Thanks for the blog, it was actually a very touching piece about Russell.  However, I still think some warm pizza for both teams would have been nice.  But that's me sitting home, warm and dry watching these poor people in the cold rain without food or water.  Let's home the sun is out for this week's episode.

Tomorrow is Survivor - are you getting ready?

Whoo Hoo - tonight is Survior. 

ADK - I don't thing comeuppance is a word, but we can make it word.................. I agree, let's I hope he gets some comuppance.

comeuppance:   a deserved rebuke or penalty  (Webster's)

SO what did you all think about last night's vote?  I thought Jaison might get voted off but what's her name (drawing a blank!!!) was a sharper player and more of a threat in the long run.   Probably a good vote, overall.

Sorry I didn't get to this sooner - chemo day. 

I felt like the show was still somewhat slow, but a little better than the previous two weeks.  Russell is just afraid of anyone strong and that is what Liz was ....... mentally and she performed in challenges.  I liked her, but I guess in the game of Survivor it's outwit, outplay and that's what Russell did.  My mom also pointed out that when he was talking to the girl from the other tribe (can't remember her name) and she mentioned religion he immediately said he was religious - Russell will say what needs to be said to befriend these people...... I'm sure because it's edited he really has them fooled right now because from what I can tell they just don't see it.   I'm curious to their thoughts when they watch the reunion show and see all of the negative things he's said. 

Jason is a cutie!
