Survivor B-b-b-b-b-b-b-.... (Sthpoilerth!)

[CrimsonFox]

Here we go...

and the brawns are off to a flying start once again proving that jocks are dumb

[CrimsonFox]

Did anyone else have a flashback to Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan?

[heybrad]

During the challenge when the Macho Man Randy Savage look-a-like yelled 'That's why we're brawn!!!' (after having blown the start by losing the mask), my entire family said that they will now proceed to blow the puzzle.

Yeah that was ridiculous.

I think I hate mostly all of the participants so far.

[Maple Leafs]

Wait, we're not actually doing spoilers in this thread, right? (Beyond talking about episodes that have already aired, which, if you haven't watched yet and are still checking the thread...)

Yea, I thought he meant just about previous episodes. If an episode has already aired and you're coming in here without having watched, that's a you problem. I agree though... no future spoilers.

[heybrad]

Also just a side comment on a parenting fail...

I mentioned I thought the brawn guy looked like the Macho Man. When I said that my children both said, "Who?" When I answered, "You know, Bonesaw from Spiderman" they both said, "Oh yea... we know Bonesaw. Never heard of the Macho Man."

Yeah. Given that this season was filmed a long time ago, I'm guessing there are plenty of spoilers out there floating around. I'd hate for someone to drop one in here, then say "Oops, the thread title said it was OK".

I always like reading the spoilers after the season just to see whether they were right or wrong. I remember seeing how people were mocking the person who posted spoilers about Cochran winning, saying there was no way that's possible, only to see him win.

This season actually had a longer wait than usual, because it was filmed before the previous season.

well they are spoilers for people that haven't watched the episode yet. Nothing for episodes that haven't aired.

[CrimsonFox]

Seriously ...voting out one of your strong guys for dropping the mask and leaving the worthless blond bimbo that did nothing for 3 days, couldn't help with the boat then took up time with the puzzle...

And on top of that they KNOW they can't trust her.

Seriously WHAT are those meatheads thinking?

oh.....thinking with THAT brain...

Can't argue with this. The whole episode was like a rerun from any other season.

Only thing noteworthy was that one girl totally flipping out then redeeming herself in the challenge.

[CrimsonFox]

Mainly maple leaf I said spoilers in case someone doesn't know that people will be talking about the events in episodes that will obviously give away who was kicked out, etc. Also it prevents us from haveing to spoilertag everything

Spoiler

Rawr!

[EagleFan]

That bug in the ear thing made my skin crawl. That had to suck beyond belief. What the hell was that one guy doing? I see it... just sits there... It's going back in.... thanks for the help a-hole...

[EagleFan]

Oh, and it was funny as hell seeing blondie trying to write with the cap on for the first round of voting.

[heybrad]

She was a self proclaimed mental giant.

I was yelling "Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan" during that scene. Definitely rooting against brawn.

[Ragone]

Kaleb from big brother was actually a very good competitor.. was not bad in the intelligence challenges on that show either..

Honestly i feel like they kept blondie because they can just shave her off next time they lose immunity.. or a potential drag her to the end candidate

Long time ago? More than the other seasons?

[larrymcg421]

Yeah, they filmed season 33 before season 32. Since they made a big deal with the fan vote for the all stars, they wanted to lead right into that season, so they switched the order.

or else this season ended up being so boring and terrible that they jumped straight to a good season.

I really hope this season gets better. Jeff himself looks bored and doesn't want to be there.

This was my theory. We'll see what happens though. Nobody is jumping out at me right now, but the all-star type seasons have generally been the better ones.

[larrymcg421]

I doubt that. There have been dreadfully boring seasons before and they haven't changed the order. I think they felt it would've been weird if they did that public vote and followed it up with a different season.

The thing I remember most about Caleb from Big Brother is the massive crush he had on another house guest and how hard he tried to date her.

Yeah, that was it. They did the gimmick where the all-stars got voted in on the season finale before and then had to leave right from there to head for the island. Would have been weird to do that, then have another season in between before coming back to the all-stars six months later.

[Draft Dodger]

it almost looked like they intentionally put one mismatched person on each tribe - blond girl on Brawn, Thai on beauty and female Phil on brains. I was half-expecting some sort of switch after the tribes were settled

That is a very interesting theory and I totally buy it! Good sleuthing!
Female Phil?!?

[General Mike]

One of the stupid moves by a contestant in recent seasons.

[CrimsonFox]

....spends all episode 1 complaining about how dumb and worthless blondie is...
....does not vote her out...

...spends all episode 2 complaining about how dumb and worthless blondie is...
...does not vote her out...


...I sense a pattern

[Kodos]

That was a spectacular self-destruction last night.

[CrimsonFox]

Thoroughly convinced Burnett witnessed these first two episodes and said "f*** these guys. Never air this."

[Draft Dodger]

there are a couple of tremendous racks in this season

[Mota]

Compared to the next-level gaming that the second chance survivors showed, there are definitely some brain dead people this season!

Who admits that things were up in the air when you're at tribal council? That was soooooooo dumb!

[CrimsonFox]

HOLY MOTHER!!!!!!
THAT WAS FREAKING GLORIOUS! ROAST THAT B**** ON A STICK!!!!!!
hahahahaha now the game has begun...

And stealing the idol away from blondie yay!

Not looking forward to next week. Dislike them advertising it in a Faces of Death snuff film type of manner.

poor Tai

[heybrad]

I'm sure the ER Doctor is a smart guy, but what an egomaniac buffoon with zero self awareness.

[CrimsonFox]

It's been fun seeing the brain tribe at least. Other than Debbie I didn't remember seeing any of them before haha

I like Neil/Aubry a lot.

Peter/Liz were as dumb as Jenny with their early moves.

[CrimsonFox]

Wow it's quiet in here. I wonder if everyone has given up on this season already

[kingfc22]

Still watching. Tai has been pretty entertaining. Peter has zero self awareness and I was really hoping he blindside was going to send him home.

[CrimsonFox]

This really is an awful season.

So THAT many people were standing around watching Mike Skupin literally die in a fire.

They've really picked a bad place this time.

There was pretty much nothing to be gleaned from this episode. Except that debbie is still annoying and will get tossed.

Did NOT expect caleb to go down that hard.

I was kinda just creeped out by Jeff...

"So doc, take us through this. What is happening? So Caleb is about to die?"
"Yes Jeff he will die if we leave him in."
"Oh. Fascinating..."

[Kodos]

It does seem like Survivor is playing with fire. Subjecting people to starvation, heat, and mental distress while in a remote location. Seems like sooner or later, somebody might actually die on them.

There aren't many people worth rooting for this season. Nobody on brawn, for sure.

[B & B]

Really?

I like SP, but the thought of a multi millionaire sports guy winning doesn't sit well.


"Ive found two bags (of 3), what have you done?"

classic.

Huh? The first three tribal councils were terrific and we had a physically brutal 4th episode. I think this has been a terrific season so far.

Um, no. Skupin passed out and fell in. then he immediately ran into the water. He wasn't "literally" dying at any point and there was no way for anyone to stop him from falling into the fire.

[kingfc22]

That was one intense episode seeing so many people go down. And also crazy seeing basically the entire crew on camera which meant it had to be pretty serious.

[CrimsonFox]

yeah I am NOT in favor of watching people actually get hurt. and that's been happening more and more the past 5 years.

It's not what it's about. Don't know who would want that.

And yeah I figured someone would call me out on the literally....yeah I reread what I wrote afterwards....what I meant was...Mike Skupin fell into the fire and could have died for all the crew cared. I read an article interview with Burnett which stated the crew knew at least back then they were not ever to interfere with anything ever.

Skupin passed out. Literally passed out. He didn't recover right away and go straight to the lake. that was editing.

that's what I meant tho...that he very easily could have. I think their medical teams have been great since then about rushing in and declaring people that need to be pulled.

But the show as a whole has been kinda negligent about these challenges that sometimes seemed designed to cause injury. Not that someone couldn't get hurt on any challenge...some are more dangerous than others.

And this heat...i don't think i ever remember heat being a problem...even in africa.

[Maple Leafs]

Yeah, count me in with those who don't watch this show to see people placed in danger. Putting aside that it's never fun watching someone suffer, it kind of kill the "outlast" part of the strategy game too -- people are basically just leaving randomly now.

Between that and the two brawn dudes being horrible to the blonde, that was one of my least favorite episodes ever.

[CrimsonFox]

she had it comin'...she had it comin'....she had it comin' all along...


however they desreved everything they got. I still don't know why they voted out such a strong guy to keep her when they hated her day one.

[Simbo Klice]

Watching Dr. D-Bag get eviscerated by the Ice Cream Man in the puzzle was entertaining... I think the crazy woman from brains is a more solid player than I was originally giving her credit for.

[Kodos]

Dang. Anna was cute.

[CrimsonFox]

hey! there's a girl named Julia playing....and there was a girl named Anna!

how about that

[heybrad]

Not much left to watch after they voted that pair out last night.
