I thought I saw suds, I tried to really focus on that to be sure, but when the one gal bent over and was rubbing/rinsing, it did appear to be 'sudsy'. Can't be sure, but certainly possible.

I didn't see suds either. But yes, they are more pampered...my coworker has lent me the dvds of the first couple of seasons and the difference is astounding!

Did I miss something in last night's show? According to Probst's blog from last week there was supposed to be some big outwitting that would have us crying with laughter. I didn't see anything like that...


I guess the "big outwitting" for Jeff was when Stephanie and Krista spill the beans about their tribe to Rob and Grant and said they'd be willing to change colors.

I don't see it the same way as Jeff did/does because if either of the girls were to make it to the merge, they would turn on their team anyway. So nope, their reveal did not have me crying with laughter, nor did I feel they outwitted anyone.

One girl down and Krista still to go....can't wait!

Or was the big outwitting when Rob hid the new II clue and gave his team mate the old one?

Either way, I don't buy into the teaser hype the previews or Jeff tout about. I find it's usually disappointing and not what I'd expect.

I thought I saw suds at first as well, but then I thought maybe it was just the air bubbles coming off of the waterfall.

They sure don't look or act starving to me on the past several seasons. I remember when they virtually counted out the grains of rice--no kidding. Now we have Russell throwing a heaping spoonful of rice on the fire just for the hell of it. Also, none of them lose the amount of weight they all used, not end up looking like walking skeletons (unless they started out rail thin). They just look much better fed and cleaner to me now.

heh, I remember Africa, when they literally *were* starving, and so many people saying the season stunk 'cause it was no fun to watch people sitting around starving!

I think there must be a good middle ground in there somewhere. They certainly do seem excited about food, (what was that comment about not thinking about sex, but fantasizing about food?). Maybe they just aren't emphasizing the deprivation this time because the RI twist takes up a lot of show time?

If all you are getting to eat is plain boiled rice, you may be receiving at least part of your caloric needs, but most people crave a variety of tastes - salty, sweet, sour - and textures crunchy, chewy, creamy. Plain boiled rice offers none of those, so I can totally understand them fantasizing about food!

I'm pretty sure the scene Jeff mentioned where we would be laughing is when Rob was with Grant and and HII clue that was in the coffee and running around faking Grant out etc. Jeff said in his blog something about lol at that.

I did think that was a great and very entertaining scene. Rob is something else. :-)

They get sunscreen and vitamins if I remember correctly. They get a little rice. That's it. They may be eating fruit. I think they don't have time to show us camp scenes much (actually Jeff mentioned that). I'm pretty sure in a ep from this season that I saw someone eating fruit and thinking, where did they get that?

Is it me or does Julie look like a man? There's something not right about her...like she was on steroids for many years...

Nick, I agree.

Sometimes a challenge prize will include shampoo, soap, tooth paste and such.. of course with a brand plug in there. But don't think either tribe has won something like that this season so far.

Maybe bubbles came from the sunscreen and/or the splashing water? But I wasn't watching that closely.

Oops...guess I must have walked away from the tv when they showed that as I don't recall it.

I saw suds in the hair of the girl on the left of the screen.

Probst was asked this last night during his Twitter session, and he said absolutely NO shampoo was given to them, right after he joked that he wished he could have given the viewers a longer shower scene.

I agree about the weight loss. The first few seasons they gave the survivors a scale toward the end of the show to see how much weight they'd all lost. I remember being amused that in Palau everyone lost a lot of weight...except Susan, who lost all of 3 pounds.

But the newer generation of players get more supplies, and if just one person knows how to fish, the whole deprivation theme really doesn't apply.

Thanks for clearing that up Lycanthrope! Bubbles doesn't = suds or shampoo.

And yes, it appears the producers are less interested in starving the contestants. But they certainly don't have it easy out there. The rain, the cold, the heat, the bugs. So, they get rice to eat and can catch fish. It's still miserable! Not to mention they don't have soap or deodorant. P.U.!

Probst said they all "STANK"..his word. He also said that their clothes all smell like fire and ash, that they reek of it.

I looked for suds because my first impression was WHAT?? shampoo?? But saw none. Perhaps they had it but I didn't see any.

Can you believe I'm beginning to like Phillip? Last show he was actually good I thought. Talking with the blonde young lady Andrea, Matt's friend was smart on his part and I like Andrea too.

Loved when Matt asked Rob why he voted him out and when he told Grant and Rob that he had intended to go to final 3 with them.

I have this feeling of dread that Krista could beat Matt in the next competition and I can't shake it. I hope Matt wins but Krista winning could sure stir things up if Stephanie can hold on until her return and the merge.

Maybe they borrowed some BB slop. Nothing to get excited about but nutritious.

on the Ponderosa scenes from the past they ALWAYS show the castoff going to the doctor and being weighed and how much they have lost.

Thanks Lycanthrope, for the info from Jeff's twitter! Bubbles doesn't = suds or shampoo.

Pamyluv, you may just be seeing a combination of tan - almost everybody looks better not fish-belly white - and some color in their cheeks from exercise. I am pretty sure they don't have make-up. {{{Hugs!}}}

Jeff did specifically answer about makeup too. He said no makeup, no soap, no shampoo ... no nothing.

In the first few episodes I noticed some of the girls still had eye makeup on but I think it was probably just left over from the first days and now has completely washed off.
