Episode 5: A new Beginning!!

Episode 4: Drop your buffs....and your commen sense!

A tribe of Ice Cream Scoopers

What???

Ok, I'll admit I even had to watch this one over to make sure that I was actually watching what I was watching this is probably the dumbest most unexplainable survivor episode ever. And if you don’t understand the reference to “ice-cream scooper” see the video below….

Now On to the episode...
First of all I guess maybe…. MAYBE it would make sense to go to tribal if the entire Team want to vote out one person... (it would be no different than throwing a challenge)….but they didn't want to vote out one person, they want to vote out 2(Leif and Bill) or even 3 – colton out. it wasn't even a majority of people who want to go vote a single person out. So here we have the dumbest survivor tribe ever and that includes Ogakor in season ten who never won an immunity challenge and the tribe was dissolved. So unless there something that we don't know about I choose to go with the latter and that is that this made absolutely zero sense… Okay yeah let's go to tribal… Dumbasses…… have you ever seen the show before? Don’t you know that usually every season around between day 12 and 15 there's usually a tribe mixup or people get traded and two different tribes are created somehow. And judging by next week's preview it looks like something like that is going to happen…  either an early merge or a tribal switch or something to that effect… God I hate Colton, I hate Colton, I hate this entire team and the “misfit” alliance for the most part. It makes no sense you're willing to give up immunity to one either vote someone out for racial and prejudicial reasons -which obviously exist because he wouldn't be calling the person to "ghetto trash" and talking about where he comes from if it wasn't racially motivated… or how about referring to Leif as an umpa lumpa. Furthermore, even if you were to vote someone out because he told someone else he was going to get voted out(in the case of Leif)  it just it is mind-boggling……those are the people you save for when you actually have to go to tribal Counsel ….the entire point of the game is to not go to tribal Council!!!!!

Since this was mainly what the episode was about, i'm just going to share a few other thoughts

I thought both challenges were cool…however,

these two pictured just made asses out of themselves….
(and I heard the one with the ugly top is now living in DC???....inside joke)






Sabrina has an edge to her-
I think she has a chance to take control








The players to watch out for….AKA who I think will win- 
I like Leif, I like Jonas, Courtney, Kimberly, Chelsea, and Sabrina.

I like monica(left), but being Dante Caulpeppers wife wont help you win a million dollars.

Do I think colton has a chance, hell no, I doubt he’ll make it to the merge…..

Till next time, Grab your torches, head on out, Goodnight

SURVIVORS NEWEST VILLAIN AND THE GIRLS SWEEP THE EPISODE

So before I begin I wanted you guys to know how I view and write this. I type this as I watch.... Actually I speak most of it to Siri...., anyway the point being that this blog is mostly my thoughts as it plays out.... Except for the longer parts in which I go back and add to after the fact. So here goes..

So I realize there's a difference between Tarzan and Troyzan they're two different people go figure.(and by the way, I had to add "Troyzan" to my dictionary so it wouldn’t keep auto correcting)

The reward challenges is very cool took the classic memory challenge and put a twist on it with the curtain. Colton looks like a fool in this challenge..... Unless your name is cam Jansen you're not going to get that memory challenge that fast

did u see the size of Alsea’s legs???

Did it really take Kat and Tarzan seven times??....I guess you can expect that from two people named Kat and Tarzan

I like the commercial with Taj going back to Tochancheese one of my all-time favorite moments when she flipped out at the survivor auction… Speaking of which where the hell is this survivor auction been the last five seasons?????

The real twist in this season has started coming to play, the bartering and trades and such, I like it and I think it’s in interesting way of keeping a game fresh after 12 years.


Quick questions…..does the survivor application have a question on there like “have you ever seen the show before and if so are you aware that it rains constantly, you get no food and its horrible…” dumbasses

I mean I'm serious do you not coming to this game you knowing that you're going to be in crappy weather and you're going to starve and such at me after 12 years don't you think you know that I'm starting to think that the producers purposely pick people who have not seen the show

Ok, so now I’m going to address Colton comment about handouts and being republican, but before I do, know that this has nothing to do with politics….First of all, who the hell does this guy think he is. Was he not the first person to go and beg the girls for comfort? Did he not accept a handout in the form of an immunity idol? And relating that to politics makes no sense. What a judgmental, stupid statement…All you come off as Colton, is someone who grew up and never discovered the world for yourself, but you go by what other people tell you….Colton is not a villain you “love to hate”….he’s just someone you hate! And calling him a villain is an insult to the true villains who have played this game.

I like Kim!

I really like this immunity challenge I saw the rehearsal team do it on CBS.com and it seemed cooler now

Oh man Chelsea took a header to tree.... ooo and another one

Wow that was a comeback!!!



I think Troyzan or Bill who got the challenge wrong will go tonight. Dollars to donuts Colton plays the idol or at least brings it up

Did Colton really just use the term ghetto trash???? – I HATE THIS GUY

Wow awkward moment when matt walked up…

Something about chickens and roosters????

"Colton...he's Colton"- great line, summed up everything

Bill? Is he high?
Surprised to see matt go, that’s probably why we haven’t seen much of him at all.

I know he is weird but it’s interesting of Tarzan to ask for the other votes. Who knows if anyone has ever asked that before…but it's seriously interesting thing to know

As for next week the preview looks really good like something funky's going on I don't think we'll get a tribe swap yet but I think there will be one eventually but look sick something funky's Going to happen next week and I'm looking forward to it.

Coming this weekend, I will list my top ten favorite Villains!

Enjoy, Grab your torches…Head on back, Goodnight

The Wrong people running a tribe and one annoying lost puppy

First of all, I have to say, so far there are more people I don’t like this season than people I like, Alica- reminds me of a disingenuous cousin. Kat seems like a dumb blonde picked only for her looks. I don’t like colton period(more on that later) and tarzan….. if you thought Phillip sheppard’s red underwear was bad, he’s got nothing on tarzan

That being said, I like Monica and her being straight forwarded with water

I liked that the reward challenge was for a tarp – that’s it! – Classic – I believe that last time a reward was for a tarp was in the Australian outback

I just hate it when people say things like “we’re gonna have the best camp in history”….heres a tip, before saying something like that, go back and look at past seasons, and look at there camps before making comments like that IE…Korar on Paulu and Guatemala

Colton- it sucks when not even the girls want you! – hes like a puppy without a home – what a loser

I really like Jonas

I liked the immunity challenge, very old school, also reminded me of monica’s team building

It may be possible that Colton is purposely acting like a total buffoon and that’s his way of playing the game?

I gotta say I kinda got a kick of the girls holding and touching each other

Immunity was a blowout “its definitely the boobs that are hard” –you said it, not me

Monica seems bright, Kat does not, I think the latter is going tonight

***Side note, there have been a number of interesting “jobs” under peoples names, from gravedigger to ice cream scooper….i think this season is the first time we’ve seen “Stand up comedian” and “Ex-nfl players wife”…..(even thought, Thaj George was in Tochanchese)…and by the way….monicas last name…. Culpepper, as in Brad Culpepper  of the Bucs

Monica and Nina and Chelsea should be running the tribe, they clearly have smarts on them. Its just the matter if Chelsea is willing to take the risk of switching alliances…

Wow, Nina put her ass on the line at tribal…..

I like this seasons Urn, very cool

….and it looks like it didn’t pay off, what a stupid, stupid move

Looking towards next week….ok, so I haven’t seen next weeks episode, as have none of you…but are we really going to get more complaining about the weather…..11 years the show has been on the air, and you don’t know to expect rain….maybe if you kept Nina around instead of “kat” you’d be better off….also did colton really say “I’m a republican I don’t believe in handouts”….. We’rnt you the same person begging to hang out and get attention from that tribe….hopefully they are showing a lot of him now cause he’ll be booted soon

Coming up this weekend as promised a look back at both Paulu and Guatemala

 

Episode One – A new “World” with new and old Twists

Episode One – A new “World”

An interesting first episode – at first glance it looks like you have a lot of naive players on here…I guess we’ll see, but some awesome twists.

First off, Men vs. Women…..this has a 50 percent success rate, they did it in amazon in season six and was amazing, one of my very favorite seasons….but they also did it in Vanuatu, one of least favorite

Location- 

Ok I get that it’s much easier and less expensive to return shooting in back to back places…. But this is the fourth time we’ve seen the Samoa (19,20,23,24)

Opening

Did getting the stuff of the truck remind anyone else of Africa…..or even Tochanchese for that matter? Great throw back, but with the twist added a new element

The Twist- I like that Probts never told them there living on the same island….they had no idea it was coming. I kind of like that redemption is gone…it was cool for a few seasons, but really it goes against everything the game is about. I also missed reward challenges.

The players to watch so Far:

* Troyzan……ok, really? Tarzan???.....at least it’s better than Chicken (Season 15), and did he really refer to women’s breast as “taters”. He kinda reminds me of the scary guy from happy Gilmore. Ya know, the one with the nail in his head

* Alicia- Don’t like her, just has that same quality that Danielle(Exile Island, HvV) kinda like that…I don’t smile and I’m a bitch and proud of it attitude) – “if we were in Chicago I’d own you”

* I like the sushi guy, and I like the short guy lee (sorry I don’t know the correct term for them, is midget right?)

* I don’t like the gay guy, Colton way to fruity – did he really just ask if he could have a clue to an idol?

***However Gay people in survivor have done historically well (Richard Hatch –Borneo 1^st place, Rafe – Guatemala 3rd, Todd Herzog 1^st China) and the two girls in Vanuatu(again, don’t like that season and don’t even know their names)

Matt the attorney is a hot head

 

The plot:

I liked the initial attempt to barter and trade….I liked the deal with the chickens…remember when shambo let the chickens loose?....oh Shambo!

Did that girl really ask for matches??? Have you never seen the show? It’s been on for 12 years- how do these people get selected for this show, and people like me have to sit on their ass writing blogs.

I did like and thought it was smart to steal the fire…..but if you’re going to do it, keep it going!

OK seriously??? I was about to type how easy it is to find idols now, but it seems as though there is an interesting twist…..I kind of like it

I like the challenge, gotta give it to the challenge makers, they always outdo themselves!

Wow…challenge stopped mid-way(only happened once before in Samoa with Russell W- probably the scariest thing ever on survivor)…i'm no extreme sports expert, but if your jumping 20 feet, wouldn’t you not wanna try to brace yourself with your wrist?

WOW very hard choice on the decision of the challenge……I think it was stupid by the guys, very stupid….your living on the same beach people! You have to live with these people

Nina looks like she got hit in the face with a frying pan (that’s for you JWB!)

Tribal- Well the tribe didn’t speak, but they lost one member.

Final thought: I think there are some very likable characters this season, and I really like the twist as it’s never really been done before (with the exception of 3 days during season 5, Thailand). With that being said, I hope this season grows on me, cause there seems to be a lot of dumb people who are really hot headed. My prediction is the winner is going to be a girl who sits back, takes it in and plays egos against each other.

Coming up later this week, a look at one of my all-time favorites – Survivor Paulu
