Ok who is going to watch Survivor with me?

The preview was on again! Got to record it, so I will get to see it!

Survivor fan here................ I couldn't believe how Wendy dug her own grave like she did.  I was glad to see that the challenge wasn't a blow out.  I am rooting for the older folks in general because I am one of them.  Haven't really picked a favorite yet, but the fisherman (Jimmy something) is a little annoying, so he's not on the list.  This should be a fun season, but I don't like the switch to Wednesday night. 

I went out of town and didn't get to post.....

Wendy was a bit strange.  However, I think she was trying to be someone she wasn't, then continued talking because she was nervous.  Or......there could be something wrong.

I was glad to see Jimmy Johnson stay in at least for now. I find that he is very good at saying the right thing - although the crazy fisherman sees right through it.  I really didn't like the good looking young guy (from Lafayette,La) he seemed to have it out for the women.

I too am rooting for the "older" group.  The last time they did this the younger crowd was so confident in their youth that they didn't do well.  Curious to see what happens next.

Almost missed last week, caught it thanks to my mom's channel surfing and just caught it tonight because I was channel surfing! So far it's interesting. I definitely like the older vs. younger angle. Can't wait to see what happens each week!

Wow!  2nd show was pretty intense for so early in the game!   What's up with Holly stealing shoes, filling with sand and sinking in the ocean?   Then, fessing up to it???  She seems to be very emotionally unstable!   Look for her to go soon....  NaOnka--OMG!  Her ATTITUDE!!!   I had to laugh tonight--the way she rolls her eyes and shoulders and her sarcastic comments remind me of my dau as a teen (and I would just want to reach out and smack her!)...but, you have no doubt how she feels about anything!  LOL....

Tribal council was weird--seems like the anger, snide comments, tempers shouldn't have surfaced so early in the game--usually only see something like that more than half-way through.   Think those young'uns got a heap a growing up to do!!

Several possibilities on each side to be my "fav".......2nd week and I'm HOOKED!!!  Can't wait 'til next week!

What a strange tribal council.  I applaud Holly for fessing up, but of course, she should not have done it in the first place.  And who is dumb enough to bring $1,600 shoes to Survivor? 

So, I went to the website last night to learn more about them - did you know that Kelly's (girl with one leg) father was a doctor and he died in the Haitian earthquake because he was there to bring food to the island?  If she makes it to the final two, she has so totally won.  JMHO  

I wasn't surprised by Shannon's comments about gay people, he seemed to have a somewhat low opinion of women in the previous show.  He was good eye candy, but I didn't like him.

I think Holly is more than a bit strange and like J.Johnson said, people like her tend to have those ups and downs and I'll bet she goes off the deep end again (if she's not voted out first).

I am really surprised at the young tribe and their inability to see beyond the leg prosthesis.  Ignore the leg and see what she can or can't do for the tribe and worry about the individual stuff later.  I am very impressed with her.

I find that on both the older and younger tribe that they're all so focused on the individual status and final four that they're all forgetting in order to be strong that for now they NEED to function as a team and work together.

Do any of y'all watch Amazing Race?  Survivor and Amazing Race are my two favorite reality shows.

I know they've recruited in past seasons, the one that comes to mind is the B, C or D actor Brian, who I think won. 

 Junie - if you start a thread for Amazing Race let me know I'll go there too.  I just love Survivor an Amazing Race.  Don't watch much other reality unless the kids have it on.

Last night's show leaves me a bit perplexed.   Neither team seems to be getting it together--its like everyone is going in different directions, each with their own agenda.   Weird!

Hated to see the oldies lose the challenge--not physically demanding and the younguns were smart to not use their advantage.   No surprise that Coach Jimmy was voted off, but not sure Marty is the one to unite the oldie team.   Maybe their biggest downfall is that many seem to be strong individuals and leaders in their personal lives and employment and don't want to take direction from anyone else???

NaOnka--I surely hope that she is portraying herself in an "acting" role to keep the show interesting--would hate to think that anyone could really be so mean and spiteful.   Regardless, of all the players, she is my least favorite!

As always--can't wait 'till next Wed!  

I was sorry to see Jimmy J go, but I guess he was being honest and didn't realize how physcially demanding it can be.  I'm not so sure about Marty - he seems to be very self centered and at this point in the game they really need to come together as a team.  Maybe the women on that team are playing smart, sitting back and letting the men take themselves out. 

The younger tribe is also very divided and I really, really don't like Na.  She seems to have a terrible attitude and her dislike of someone because they have a prosthetic leg is unbelievable.  Notice I didn't say handicapped because Kelli is certainly not handicapped.  As of right now I like her the best, I like the way she carries herself and her overall attitude.

On to next week.....

Man, I was surprised they booted Jimmy T, because the way they were dithering, I thought it would be Dan to go. So, Marty thinks he's in charge now, huh? Too bad the previews revealed he won't get to enjoy it too long with the upcoming tribal shuffle next week.

Question - If the people holding the HIIs (hidden immunity idols) don't take them to what they think is going to be a challenge and then get sent to the other tribe, do they lose their idol? And if so, would it be fair game for anyone who knows the current whereabouts of the idols left behind? Or will the tree mail make it so obvious there will be a shuffle that they snatch them up and take them along?

Man, I didn't believe it was possible for Na Onka to be a more vile person, but she keeps doing it. She really needs to get over her hatred for Kelly B. and quit going on and on about Kelly's leg. At this point, I'd love it if Kelly took that leg off and beat Na Onka with it.

And I wish the promo monkeys would quit making it obvious in their preview ads which tribe will go to TC. When they spend ¾ of the ad focusing on one tribe, it's a sure bet they will be going to TC. And while I'm ranting, could they stop airing that "Sprint Player of the Week" right before TC? Their choices often telegraph which one will go. Let's say (hypothetically) they show Chase clashing with Na Onka about who should go. If they include Chase in the "Sprint Player of the Week" and not Na Onka, then you can pretty well assume Chase prevailed and his choice is leaving.

Just when Marty gets smug that he has "his" tribe under his thumb, things will be shaken up!   It will be interesting to see how the teams are paired up now--don't think any of the older people will tolerate NaOnka for long, but seems like most of her horrible diatribe against Kelly is directed toward the camera and not shared with anyone on her tribe?   Maybe I've missed something.   Brenda is not wise to buddy up with Na.   So far, it seems like the show has dealt mostly with the older tribe--can only ID a few of the younger tribe.   Maybe with the merge, they will become more familiar.   No stand out favorite yet.

LOL--2tzus, you forgot to mention Coach!!!   What is interesting is that I remember those bizarre, bad, outrageous players--but couldn't tell you who did win the shows they were on!!!   Is it Wednesday yet????

I'd like to see Kelly B. take that leg of hers, and whack Na across the head with it. I soooooo hope someone puts her in her place. I think they chose her (Na) for the "the person you love to hate".

dang--my post poofed!!!!    In the meantime, Riley summed it up perfectly!!!

Thought criminal charges should be filed for voting Tyrone off!!!   He was a voice of total reason to not kill/cook the chicken--did he really eat THAT much more than anyone else????   And, psycho Holly being a voice of reason to her new young tribal members...OMG!!!

And, what's up with the suddenly sweet, poorlittleme, I wanna go home, Na???    Did the producers tell her to adopt a new persona or they were going to yank her right off the show????  

I'm starting to wonder if the producers raided a couple of mental institutions for this year's cast----just kidding, but they all seem to be sightly "off"!!!!

Lots going on to think about--gonna be a loooonngg week!!!!

I think they did a really dumb thing to vote off Tyrone.  I like Jill and I like Jane - I am glad that Jane warned the young 'uns about Marty, but she has a different impression of Jill than I do.  I do not like Na - even with her new vulnerability, she is still nasty.  I think I am rooting for Jane.
