Hi Everyone - Since it's after 9:00 pm on the East Coast and offically night time for them, I thought I'd start a night time thread:-)

Hi and I am glad Survivor has started!

Is this the same as 'Late Night Chatters' or will there be a another thread?

In the spoiler thread there was talk as to why Brook was voted off. That was my thought too. When I asked the DH (that mean dear husband, right)he said he knew it would be him and when I asked why he said because he was coccky. I didn't see it.

The pre law student, Eliza was annoying. I didn't mind Scout. If the females do nothing but complain as they bask on the beach I'll be sick...shades of the Amozon?

The women working on the shelter should have insisted that the lazy beach types build their own shelter. Then they couldn't benefit from the work of the others. But I guess that would be against the rules.

It's funny- when they divide the men and women, there's for sure going to be an age division formed in the tribes. That seems to be the case with the women especially.

I don't see a daytime chatters thread, so hope it's ok if I post this here.


The way they kept flashing to views of that good luck rock while the guys were trying to start a fire made me wonder if that rock could have been used to start a fire somehow? I was curious enough to go look it up and found this:


"What about the hardness of the 'flint' you use? Flint, chert, jasper, and quartzite all have a hardness of about 6½. Granites are in the 6 range. Obsidian (volcanic glass) is in the 5 to 6 range. Any of these rocks are strong enough to generate sparks. Many metamorphic rocks, especially quartzite, are also hard enough to generate sparks."

That's very clever thinking Naja, I'll bet it would spark a fire. I would never have thought of it, and that's why I'm glad I am not on that show.

they didn't show it so i don't know how hard the tribes are trying to make fire. but, if i were out there i wouldn't give up. clean water is too vital to survival anywhere.

In case anyone is not aware, if you join the fantasy league at the official site HERE and watch the Survivor Live internet show, you have an opportunity to win a new pontiac.

Naja: we were thinking last night about Chad's artificial leg...the metal on that reflecting the sun may have been enough as well to put a start to the fire.

Erinkay, you need to go on the show! That's smart. I always wondered if anyone with glasses (surely there are contact wearers who brought glasses with them) why they haven't figured out to use the lenses in their glasses to start a fire. I don't even know if it would work. I gave up killing ants that way a long time ago.

When I saw Chad getting ready to show the men his prosthetic leg I was sure that he was gonna suggest using it in some way to make fire.

I thought about using that rock too (I actually thought it was flint), but don't you need 2 pieces? Unless they broke it...

Didn't they use eyeglasses in past survivors to start fires?

They are being tough, not giving even the losers fire.

Why aren't they getting sick being w/out water for that long?

I don't know...I have a feeling if the Tribes people knew that those damn Americans were using that good luck stone (I forgot exactly what they called it) to start a fire...it might make them resort back to their cannibalistic tendencies.

I really thought they should try to use that leg in some way. You don't need flint to make fire...anything that will make a spark will do.

REmember all the trouble having both Daytime and Night time chat threads caused? People lost posts while the Mods switched it around by shutting one down and hurding us to the other.

I like to suggest for Trinity63 to erase the word "Night" in the thread title. Make it 24/7, or Any time.... Unless maybe threads of all topics spout around here soon.

Jan: Where is the trivia question from Survivor Live? I'm confused. I've registered for the fantasy league, have my players, etc and have also done the bonus questions. I watched the internet shows but haven't been able to find out more about the trivia question. Do you know more?

Thanks in advance.

what difference does daytime/nighttime make during survivor? there are no live feeds that people are watching all night and want to chat about. one thread for chatting and other topical threads should be sufficient

Sorry Giggles, I didn't join so I don't know anything about it. I just heard them mention the car on the internet show so I thought I would mention it!


Lady and others, if someone wrote the mods, they could change the title of the thread to just plain survivor chat if that's what yo'all want :-)

You don't need to have a team to play in the Fantasy League (as far as I know)...you can add yourself to a tribe if you wish - or be added to one automatically if you want.
