Fiji debut 2/8/7

[Lizardqueen]

Ok, here we go.
More Boston tattoos?

[HoneyBunny]

damn - i have to wait for 3 hours!
just tell me if Dre is ok or an ass...

Three hours...girl where are you? :confused1:

[pearlblackdragon]

Love James already. I think I may have to move to Boston.

I know the answer. But I'll let you make your own.

[HoneyBunny]

Three hours...girl where are you? :confused1:
California...it's a big state, over on the left side of the map, land of J-unit and LC

Hey - I asked a question and no one has answered it. How was Dre?

I didn't know who you meant, so I had to look him up on cbs.com. Dre goes by "Dreamz" now. I think that about sums it up!

[Quidam]

Yoiks...I think Jessica was little surprised.

Figured it would be a two hour difference not three HB, wondered if you were floating on a yacht out on the Pacific.

[Lizardqueen]

I'm pretty certain that Rocky has a touch of the old retardation with some Tourette's thrown in.

Dreamz. Whoa! What a DB. Shut up. Crazy person.

I love Yau Man. He's a gem.

The architect lady was a little Bitchy Bitcherson. She better watch it.

Who else was there?

[t-bag]

I can't believe it. I don't hate Rocky!

Maybe I'm too much of a sucker for underdogs, because once one tribe won the challenge, I immediately started to think, "Man, I hate these guys." But Yau-Man is really, really lucky that they lost. If they were living in luxury and had everything already, there's no way he'd stick around. But now he's the most useful person in the game.

Anthony is actually pretty cool so far. I'm very, very pleased. Michelle and Erica aren't as crazy as I thought they would be, although they seem like they could both snap at any second: one just going loco, and one turning into a raging bitch, respectively. Sylvia was kind of bitchy.

Dreamz isn't as entertaining as I thought he would be. Kind of obnoxious. I was actually on Rocky's side during that fight.

Sad to see Jessica go. She was attractive. I read an interview with Probst before the show, though, and they kept asking about all the Survivors. When they asked, "Jessica. How did she do?" all he had to say was, "She was nice and wore her dad's shirt." Should have seen that elimination coming.

So far, my two biggest preconceptions are still holding strong: Anthony is cool and Alex is a sleazebag.

Oh, and Lisi is the Angie-from-Palau of this season. Put some pants on.

[Tabby Lavalamp]

Dreamz, Rocky, Boo... Enough with the friggin' nicknames.

Also, the start of the show was quite possibly the most boring start ever. Last season they were frantically grabbing stuff and jumping off a boat, and the best ever was Probst standing at the mouth of a volcano. This season? 19 people paddling. Yay.

[giffordsaz]

I am stuck here in the Arizona--mountain Standard Time Zone I think---when springs rolls around it will be Pacific Time.... we don't change and so in that we change! I know the wait HB.... everyone wants to get on and chat and here we sit waiting for or turn to watch and not get to talk with the rest of them!
Now I was pulling for Earl, and still am but Anthony did impress me tonight, Jim/Rocky/James/Boston/Jimbo/short bus rider/Jimmy/ Did make me happy and I too think he did the right thing with Dreamz....what was he doing in the middle of the night jonesin' around and then asking all white people to raise their hands!?!?!?!? What was that all about.....did you see Earls head whip around on that one?
Now this is my observation... I think the architect loaded one team, and I think she thought she would choose where she would go... with that I think she is lucky Rago/Rogo/Rainblow/Rintintin/ lost so she then could join the team she loaded.
EXILE====Snakes???
Shit I would quit right there!:gun_bandana: :scooter: :oops:

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Dreamz, Rocky, Boo... Enough with the friggin' nicknames..

Exactly Tabby - it felt like I was watching another season of Flavor of Love.

I too think he did the right thing with Dreamz....what was he doing in the middle of the night jonesin' around and then asking all white people to raise their hands!?!?!?!?

Can't he tell who's white without needing a show of hands? I was telling LQ last night, I do like that they stuck with a diverse cast again this year.

And like t-bag I was surprised at how much I didn't hate Rocky. I was all braced and ready to think he was a creep - and I know it's early yet and there is still plenty of time for him to live up to expectations but last night his behavior was entirely justified.

So did anyone else find the white couch an odd color choice? Oh and for our hidden advertisements - how much do you think Motorolla paid for the Moto tribe name? I'm just waiting for Probst to say "Hello Moto".

[pearlblackdragon]

Oh and for our hidden advertisements - how much do you think Motorolla paid for the Moto tribe name? I'm just waiting for Probst to say "Hello Moto".

Me and son made a game of yelling "Hello Moto" at the screen everytime someone said Moto....
Motorola is either going to reap rewards from this one OR everyone will hate hearing that phrase in their head by week 4.

[Chris]

I'd also like to point out that I said in the other forum topic that Jessica was my pick to go all the way. You can all point and laugh now.

And if you lend me two bucks, my money's on Stacy.

[Quidam]

I'm curious about the Immunity Idol...somewhere near the camp? Did it mean base camp or the "camp" where Sylvia was??? http://bestsmileys.com/thinking/5.gif

I think she just gave up too soon without really trying.

[HoneyBunny]

Figured it would be a two hour difference not three HB, wondered if you were floating on a yacht out on the Pacific.
I was only going for a "Three Hour Tour....a three hour tour..."



hb

[HoneyBunny]

Dreamz, Rocky, Boo... Enough with the friggin' nicknames.
Throw in a 'Bonez' and a 'Onix' and you have the boys from "I Love NY". Enough is right.

how much do you think Motorolla paid for the Moto tribe name? I'm just waiting for Probst to say "Hello Moto".
It was all "Quasi-Moto" to me.....

I'd also like to point out that I said in the other forum topic that Jessica was my pick to go all the way. You can all point and laugh now.
I would - but I picked that loud-mouth ass 'Dreamz'....



hb

[t-bag]

I'm curious about the Immunity Idol...somewhere near the camp? Did it mean base camp or the "camp" where Sylvia was??? http://bestsmileys.com/thinking/5.gif

I think she just gave up too soon without really trying.

It means back at the tribe's camp. Which means she has to search for it as a secret (or be totally stupid and just tell everyone), and which also means that since that clue was there before she knew which tribe she was going back to, the "two hidden immunity idols" we've been hearing so much about are placed with one at each camp. If I were her, I'd search my ass off for the idol at my camp, and then when I found it I'd take the boat out to "explore" or "fish" or something, and try to sneak around the other tribe's camp. And if you get caught, just say you're lost or something. Pretend you're a stupid old woman. That being said, I hope she doesn't find it, because she's sure to get a lot of votes the next time the tribe loses, and I don't want to see the idol played this quickly.

And as for picking Jessica: Ha ha. I can gloat freely since Andrew is so kickass. I forgot to mention this, but I did take note: he was officially the first person to start strategizing (at least, as far as we saw). That's my boy!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that Stacy is really super hot. Watching her against Jessica in the challenge was really painful, because I knew one of those little sexpots was going to fuck up and get sent home. I'm glad it was the less attractive one.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Exactly Tabby - it felt like I was watching another season of Flavor of Love.

It just dawned on me that I agreed with Tabby on something, I am now searching CNN for other signs of the apocalypse :p

It was all "Quasi-Moto" to me.....

ba-dum-bum- ching

[angiemarie]

I don't remember much about this episode except that I loved Yao Man.:) Everyone else seemed kind of interchangeable or a "type" that we've seen before. I'm sure as the weeks go on their personalities will develop.

Oh, and that "Dreamz" guy (queerest name ever btw) is a cheerleading coach. I guess he was cast as the annoying one.

[Pegster]

Dreamz, Rocky, Boo... Enough with the friggin' nicknames.



Exactly Tabby - it felt like I was watching another season of Flavor of Love.

.

The should have The Probst deal out the nicknames. I'm sure he'd come up with some winners.

Oh, and GO YAU MAN! Finally an old coot I can route for.

[Chris]

I can gloat that I can remember the correct name of my Survivor. :tongue:
Andrew = Anthony?

[zoobabe]

I still like Edgardo and Alex too. Considering they're on the same tribe, I'll root for theirs. I agree that the two immunity idols must be one on each island, so they must have to look on their own beaches w/out giving up how they know where to look. The immunity challenge was HARD though, so I'm glad that they made them work for it from the get-go.:)

[t-bag]

I can gloat that I can remember the correct name of my Survivor. :tongue:
Andrew = Anthony?

Damn, that's embarrassing. I've been mistakenly calling him Antony, but I guess now it's Andrew. I guess I just figured he's the only cast member without a nickname, so might as well give him one. Even if his name was Glorbleshnop, he'd still kick ass. Admit it.

[chooch850]

As soon as it rains that couch will be ruined. It sure didn't look like outdoor furniture. I'm not crazy about the have/have not theme.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

As soon as it rains that couch will be ruined. It sure didn't look like outdoor furniture.

I'm picturing that couch covered in the filth that they will be wearing after challenges and then you have to keep in mind that fabric holds odor. :bored:

That is SO going to be my new anti-profanity swear word. Listen...."Get lost ya stupid glorbleshnop!" Pretty sweet huh?!?

The ick factor has just risen to heights even I couldn't imagine.

Lets vote out Dreamz right now!

You'd agree with me far more if you'd just give in to the simple fact that I'm always right. :P

The should have The Probst deal out the nicknames. I'm sure he'd come up with some winners.
Or better yet, Billy Bush!


Er, no. Never mind.

[campfiregirl]

Saw this and it was so good I have to repeat it:

I want these m*****f*** snakes off the m*****f***Exile Island.

:D

I really feel that this have vs. have nots is the big theme. A few months ago Oprah had on an author who spoke on this. How the rich are getting richer and vice versa. The gap is getting bigger, and the middle class is getting smaller. And changing this is becoming more difficult, the American dream is harder to realize now.

What will be the reward items? For one team monogramed towels and the other a tarp?

I hope that it doesn't play out in the obvious way that you think it would. With the haves being healthy and having stamina and winning everything. How boring. Maybe they'll flip flop camps somewhat frequently, that would be interesting. Does somebody feel like giving a rundown on who's on what tribe right now? I could look it up, but eh, that sounds like a lot of work.

PS- I saw that Oprah. It was very interesting.

[t-bag]

L to the Q! Here:

Motorola - "Haves"
-Alex
-Boo
-Cassandra
-Dreamz
-Edgardo
-Gary
-Liliana
-Lisi
-Stacy

Ravu - "Losers"
-Anthony
-Earl
-Erica
-Rocky
-Jessica - DEAD
-Michelle
-Mookie
-Lovely Rita, meter maid
-Sylvia
-Yau Man

[Lizardqueen]

Thanks dude. Not that those names really mean very much to me yet.

[zoobabe]

but I just figure if the winning tribes always get the good island then eventually they will switch and the losers will have to slum it. I wonder if they try and spruce things up on the "have not" island, will they tear it down before the challenge in case they win and the other tribe comes back to it?

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Excellent idea!

At the beginning of the episode they were all delighted when they found the cave for shelter and saw all the food hanging on the trees. I think the have nots have it pretty damned good compared to other seasons. I know it's no shangri-la but it's still not bad considering.

I think after the year when Elisabeth How'd-She-Go-From-Survivor-To-The-View Hasslebeck started losing her hair, they got a bit more liberal with the food. Recent seasons they've seemed much better fed. Not that I'd give up my microwavable chimichangas to sit on an island eating rice and mangoes, but still.

You're right. That season was actually really painful to watch. We were watching people wither before our eyes. And factor that in with the fire and the flood. It was heartbreaking.

[giffordsaz]

I read somewhere that Jeff stated the haves get very lazy and just sit around on the couch all day and lose their survivor instincts.
Sounds like Big Brother to me,,

The show IS called Survivor not Well Fed and Sheltered On an Island Big Brother.......

Actually having that stuff can lead to some real good bickering. Wonder how long they will fight over who gets to sleep on that couch.

Did anyone here see "The Gods Must Be Crazy"? The little tribe was so content when it was just them, their shelters and their need to survive. But add in ONE measly little coke bottle and everyone starts fighting over it.

So then take everything else away and give them a coke bottle.

How bout a kick in the bawls? I nominate Dreamz or maybe the Probster for this dubious honor.

In other news:
The Gods Must Be Crazy is one of my favorite movies of all time.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

That totally rocks!

[t-bag]

My seventh-grade geography teacher made us watch The Gods Must Be Crazy, but before he put it in, he said, "This is a really boring, but really important film about African history." So we went into it already hating it and taking everything seriously. It took about half an hour before everyone realized he was kidding.

I didn't say it was a seventh-grade class of geniuses.

Also, I rewatched the first episode with my roommate tonight, who hadn't seen it, and I have to say - Rocky kicks ass. Better than Anthony? Possibly. The one thing that annoys me about Rocky - unless I find out he's really a boxer - is the way he moves and acts like a boxer, always throwing practice jabs while hopping back and forth, walking hunched over with a scowl on his face, and thumbing his nose. You know what I mean. But if he's really a boxer, then he's awesome. If not, this Rocky stuff is getting to his head in a sort of obnoxious way.

Oh, and Sylvia is so irritating. That mini-montage of her bossing everyone around, using the exact same intonation with every question: "Could you put this heeeeerreee?" "Who wants to build thiiiiiss?" She's so damn lucky she got sent to Exile Island.

Also, my theory about an immunity idol at each beach since she got the clue before she knew who lost was stupid. No matter who lost, she was going to be on the losers' beach. So obviously one idol is at that beach - the other is still up in the air. But maybe it's with the other tribe? I suspect it is, but Burnett's a trickster. They'll probably have to outwit Boston Rob to get it, or one of our other "all-time favorite Survivors." Which reminds me: who nominated Stephenie and Bobby Jon as two of our "all-time favorite Survivors", as hyped in the previews for Guatemala? I'm still pissed about that. Maybe I missed the survey they sent out.

Anyway, I'm done.

[Tabby Lavalamp]

Which reminds me: who nominated Stephenie and Bobby Jon as two of our "all-time favorite Survivors", as hyped in the previews for Guatemala?
Bobby Jon bored the hell out of me for two seasons. Stephenie, on the other hand, rocked, and she's still one of my favourite Survivors ever.

[Quidam]

I hate, hate, HATE the looooong wait between Thursdays! http://bestsmileys.com/hyper/1.gif Why can't they have Survivor on two or three nights a week like they do with BB?!?!?!? AAARRRRGGGG!

[zoobabe]

I hate, hate, HATE the looooong wait between Thursdays! http://bestsmileys.com/hyper/1.gif Why can't they have Survivor on two or three nights a week like they do with BB?!?!?!? AAARRRRGGGG!

I know Q, but you can watch Survivor Live on CBS.com if you're jonesing.:D

[zoobabe]

for some reason I thought that they were switching beaches depending on which tribe won, but I guess I misunderstood. Oh well-at least whatever the other tribe builds on their beach will stay.

I forgot to mention how much I liked the scene with Sylvia giving Rocky a vocab lesson. She'd better watch it if she doesn't want to piss people off b/c she does seem kind of condescending- but she did a good job of dividing the tribes equally.

I knew there was a reason I loved you girls. That movie was so funny, I almost peed my pants from laughing.

[jampony]

for some reason I thought that they were switching beaches depending on which tribe won, but I guess I misunderstood.
What? I thought that, too. Then how do they decide who gets the good beach?

[Schoonie]

Yeah, I thought they were going to have 'beach challenges' instead of reward challenges to see who gets what camp for that cycle or whatever, but then they wouldn't be able to develop a narrative thread, and have a running underdog and whatnot. But, I would expect a camp switch at some point.

[t-bag]

Probst has said some shit about the luxury tribe acting really entitled, so it seems like Burnett is keeping the switching for the Apprentice. In all honesty, I'd be kind of disappointed if I was in this season and I won the reward. If the show's still on when I'm old enough to apply (Jesus, that makes me sound like a baby), I would want to do it primarily for the money, but secondly for the experience. And just sitting on your ass with fancy tea-cups would make me - in retrospect, once I was looking back at it after I got home - like I was cheated out of the whole Survivor experience as we've come to know it. It would be nice, but somehow I don't think it would be as fun, and if I went really far, I really wouldn't feel like I had earned it as opposed to if I had built an entire life out there with nothing but a pot and a machete. And now I'll step off my soapbox and enjoy watching rich people and poor people tear each other to shreds.

T-bag - you PERFECTLY expressed the exact way I feel about the fancy camp.

Plus, part of what I loved about the first Season - was the ingenuity of how they dealt with the downtime. Remember coconut bowling or the bamboo fishing rod? I wish they would show more of their home made luxuries. I like seeing the actual Survivor aspect of the show.

Good Lord that is one of the best movies ever made. I knew that my in-laws were brain dead self absorbed idiots when we had them over to watch it and they didn't crack a smile.

I was just surfing the net and found a thing called Boo's Blunders at Youtube.
If someone would link that up it's funny.(I don't know how):blush:
