Survivor

[Susie924]

I had a feeling she was getting the boot. I was surprised at the votes though.
2 of the women voted her out, I thought it was only going to be one.

[fung_derf]

Apparently good job editing this week, because I was totally blindsided.

[Susie924]

Just jokin’ with ya!

[fung_derf]

Of course. I hate him already.

[Susie924]

Yes it’s on currently. One of the contestants is my best friend’s mother’s sister in law’s brother’s son.

LOL!

[fung_derf]

Is it on currently? I've watched a couple seasons.
Lemme guess....you were on there?....you are actually Jack Osborne?

[Susie924]

Do you watch Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test?

[fung_derf]

Well, there is
Jake....who sounds like Peter Griffin when he talks
Kendra ....who is the psycho chick for this year (they are required to have one every year)
Sifu....I liked him, but he's gone now
Katurah who I dislike. She's one of those every year who screws up the shot for a favorite...then gets booted. She's mouthy early
Kaleb....who I like but is screwed because he's too likeable
Bruce....the guy who got knocked out in a past season....he's doomed. There is no nice way to ask someone else to do work
Emily...who is paranoid, psychotic and somehow starting to fit in fine.
Drew....who looks like Napoleon Dynamite and is managing to get himself into the wrong group

and like the original Gilligan's Island I will sing....."and the rest....."
Personally, I wouldn't even last long enough to jump off the ship at the beginning. I'd have already pissed someone off.

[Susie924]

LOL!

[Susie924]

I don’t remember their names which probably means I am not as interested.

I did like Caleb but he is gone now.

[fung_derf]

Look what happened to America!! Just put 'em in a parka and be done with it!

Moving on.....who ya pickin'?

[Susie924]

Looks like Carson would have won if he could build a fire

He DID build a fire and pretty quickly too. Unfortunately for him Heidi was quicker.

[fung_derf]

I thought the right person one. Heidi kept proving to the jury that she hadn't a clue what was going on all season. Her building fire wasn't nearly enough and she knew it.
Carolyn and Jam Jam had basically the same resume' and Jam Jam sold his story a bit better. I didn't think Carolyn got enough credit for saving Carson. That was THE turning point of the game.
Looks like Carson would have won if he could build a fire.

[Susie924]

Well? Spoiler alert














I must say I am disappointed.

Survivor used to be decided on physical, mental, and social.

Unfortunately the last 3 didn’t excel in all 3 so the choice was going to be what would be the deciding factor.

I guess it was social.

Heidi took a big chance by choosing to do fire and she blew it out of the water. I guess the jury didn’t see that.

The only thing I was happy about was that the crazy lady didn’t get a vote.

[Susie924]

I guess I am hoping for a Carson win.

[fung_derf]

I am shocked that yam yam has survived this long.
He seems destined to get to final 3 with so many other targets in front of him.
I predict Carolyn flipping out soon. She would have easily been taken to final 3 had she not spoken so much of strategy.

[fung_derf]

I have never known anyone in any way associated, so you win.

[Susie924]

I have never known a contestant, only relatives of a contestant.

[fung_derf]

Oh yeah, I forgot. CBS contacts you annually for participant recommendations. You always know someone

[Susie924]

I grew up in the Bronx with Danny’s family members so I have them on Facebook

[fung_derf]

You are following the family members of people in the game? That's devotion!
Didn't Danny get voted out???
I liked Danny, but he played the type game that gets a target on your back. It's so odd how on some years, the dominant guy just controls the game until the end, but then you have a Carolyn some years that totally throws the game off balance.
Carolyn is one of those who either gets voted off first, or else is taken to final 3. I think it was last year the Carolyn type won it.
I was impressed she saw the bigger picture of why she had to save Carson.

[Susie924]

I am disappointed in last night’s vote but not surprised.

Danny’s uncle posted something on Facebook the other day which made me think his days were numbered.

Carolyn is a real whack job but I gotta admit, she is playing a decent game.

[fung_derf]

or did they?????

[Susie924]

Yankees sucked this weekend

[fung_derf]

Enjoyable weekend of baseball. Your fans are pretty funny. I watched a few take off one jersey with a Rangers one underneath about halfway through the game.

[fung_derf]

That ain't how the sho' go.
Not the first time someone has left with an idol. It keeps someone who was dumb enough not to use theirs from giving it to another player.
I think James left with two in his pockets a few years back.

[Susie924]

I couldn’t remember if the idol was real or fake.

Why couldn’t he just hand it back to her before he left?

[fung_derf]

Yeah, me too. And I like Danny.
So I guess the guy who left, took the fake idol with him. Too bad, I wanted to see it used.

[Susie924]

I thought Danny was a goner last night when he lost the immunity challenge.

Frannie is racking up points each week.

[Susie924]

I laughed so hard at Carolyn during the challenge when she was stuck.

[Susie924]

I thought Danny’s goose was cooked this week.

Turns out it WAS well played.

[fung_derf]

No comments here? I thought the game has been pretty interesting and well played.
Very nicely played blindside this week.

[fung_derf]

Over the years I've seen people voted out by bad luck, or just one person throwing out a name and no one wanting to argue.
As Jeff said, that's Survivor.
She does seem a bit psycho and paranoid, but when she makes the merge, others may want to take her along as a safety net.

[Susie924]

Crazy lady has a big mouth. Now that it looks like they’re going to merge she will probably spill the beans that they plan on working together.

[fung_derf]

Not really. Just a part of the game.

[Susie924]

Do you think Danny and Brandon really screwed up last night?

[Susie924]

I am actually starting to like Carolyn a little bit after last night. Her red X tricked worked well. How many fake idols and real idols are still out there?

I agree that they should have gotten rid of Jam Jam though.

[fung_derf]

I'd say the psycho chick's paranoia has worked fairly well for her, but she should have gotten together to with the new guy to get rid of yam yam last night.

[fung_derf]

I watched it and have no thoughts.
Well maybe one, the way she argued her point, she would have been tough in the end.

[Susie924]

Oops!

[fung_derf]

I haven't watched it yet. Spousal out of town, so waiting to watch. Shhhhhh

[Susie924]

No thoughts on the show this week?

I thought the vote was a no-brainer. Who sits out three challenges in a row and doesn’t think that they’ll be in jeopardy?

[Susie924]

I couldn't recall what Kane did, so might need a reminder.

I think it was the way he voted in the Tribal Council. The guy he voted for was not pleased. Of course I can't remember the guy's name.

[fung_derf]

I couldn't recall what Kane did, so might need a reminder. Wish they would explain it from week to week. My memory isn't that good any more.
Last year there was a woman who breezed through a puzzle because she had practiced it before leaving. That's on Survivor, come up with some new stuff.
The kid is obviously my favorite, however it's always interesting to see if he has overplayed his hand. It's tough to be on both sides and be trusted. And it's a bit early to try this. Just pick the majority until tribes merge.
The beauty of Survivor is sometimes, the best players on paper, get knocked out early by one paranoid person who organizes a coup.

[Susie924]

Growing up Catholic, I can remember the prayer to St Anthony.

[Susie924]

After watching last night’s episode I realize what Kane did.

Carolyn is still a nut job and really annoying.

It seems like a couple of people really did major prep before coming on the show. Not sure I like that.

[fung_derf]

New Yorkers are beautiful people, and kind and loving, and I hope that side of me, and that side of New York, comes across in the show.”

Obviously not a Yankee fan.

My direct dealings with NYers while the times I've been there was, most were very helpful, however, you better not ask a second time. Including the bus driver who drove us all the way to NJ because we didn't know to jump off the bus when he stopped and opened the door for 5 seconds.
