I felt sorry for Wanda having to stand there in her old-lady slip and black underpants, and then not being chosen.

Just didn't see the point of kicking two off so soon.

I'm not sure why they'd want to boot someone less annoying just to keep Wanda, who WAS annoying. She needed to stay under the radar until she could prove her worth in some way.. too early to be cooking anything, without fire and food to cook. Instead she was blatantly annoying, and the fact that she must not have thought this was the case means she would continue in that direction.

Two people were going to go to sequester; it wasn't nice but it was going to happen. They had to send two people and she happened to be one of them.

i just don't like the way they were eliminated. it was so sophomoric and not at all what was expected given the comments of 'two don't even make it to the challenge'. i sure thought they meant they couldn't find their WAY to the challenge, not that they never got there because they were chosen last by other survivors.
liking katie and the gray haired guy (Tom?) and the gal who climbed the tree.

Actually, the two not chosen were there for longer than a couple of minutes - they spent 1 night!

Awareinva, your comment about Jeff saying that once the torch was snuffed, players should be out made me think.

The two not chosen never had their torches snuffed . . .

After listening to the three of them on the Survivor Live internet show, I'm really sorry that Jo and Wanda didn't get to stay longer. They both seem like very interesting people. It seems that they became true friends during their month together after getting the boot.

They never had their torches LIT.. and as Jeffy said.. "in this game fire represents life and as long as you have fire, you're still in the game and when your fire's gone, so are you."

The two never made it to a tribe, never HAD a torch, never had fire. So they don't live in the game, I think.

I thought Tom the fireman from New York was really impressive. It looked to me like on the very physical challenge he was ahead of many of the younger folks. And, I love that on his bio, he lists his favorite scent as "my wife's neck" and his hero as his little girl.

As some mentioned above, there should be appropriate clothing issued to these people instead of tricking into their best high heels and dressess so they can be exposed as they play the game.
I went to the cbs site and realized--I'm probably the last to know this--they aren't having the show with Richard Hatch and evictees this time around. I liked watching it, and the one they had for Big Brother.

Cable, there still is a show on the CBS site, but only on Fridays. Jenna Morasca is one of the hosts.

Somebody mentioned above about the sunscreen factor. As someone who recently had a small melanoma removed from my arm, I'm extremely aware of the need for sunscreen--especially in the latitudes where these guys are. The sun is intense in the tropics! I think I read somewhere that the producers do provide them with sunscreen. It would be almost as much a necessity as drinking water, since you can get really, really sick from overexposure to the sun. Anybody else know about this? I, too, always worry about everybody getting sunburned!

Babyjaxmom - in the past the production staff has always provided sunscreen, so I'm pretty sure they will this time as well. Still, as a pale skinned person, there is NO substitute to clothing with sun exposure. I can slather on the 40 block every 30 minutes and I still get burned. There is also still debate the the medical community as to how much sunblock really helps in preventing skin cancer down the line since some rays still get through. I'd go nuts if my shoulders couldn't be covered. I'd also want a broad hat if my hair was still short. Right now it is long so I can style it to protect my scalp, ears and neck.

Anyone every burn their scalp? I did a few times when I was younger and wore a distinct part. It was awful and I got blisters.

Anyways - I don't see the point of of not giving them protection from the sun and its potential for causing skin cancer. It doesn't add anything to the show and may harm the contestants.

Anyone notice how Tom's (? - the white haired firefirghter) shoulders were pealing? Ouch!!! He looks irish and irish are notoriously fair skinned - even the dark haired ones...

Yup, that's me. Irish girl. We all freckle, burn and peel in my family. And yes, Gina, I have burned the part in my hair in my younger days. Ouch! It's really nasty when it starts to peel and looks like dandruff. Painful, too!

OT: when I was about 13, I went out to the lake with a neighbor family with nothing but baby oil and a bikini all day (we didn't have SPF in those days!). I had terrible blisters on my shoulders, and there was absolutely no comfortable position in which to sleep--everything hurt! I long ago gave up trying to tan. Thank goodness people like Nicole Kidman have made pale skin acceptable once again, so we can all be comfortable with the skin we were born with (light OR dark!).

I wonder why it didn't dawn on the 2 that swam that swimming in jeans would be waay more difficult than if they had just taken them off. I would think the jeans would weigh you down

I'm rewatching it tonite and Coby is even more irritating!! Watching him in confessional makes me think he is trying to be like Hatch.

Saw it tonight for the first time. I like the majority of people so far. I want to root for Angie simply because of the way others formed an opinion of her so immediately based only on her looks. As someone else said above, the selection process itself was just like being back in junior high school picking PE teams. That was the only thing I didn't like about the first episode.

I felt for Jonathan because of the reasoning to vote him off because he jumped off the boat instead of rowing. What about Stephanie? Did no one remember her climbing over them to get to the back and then being the first to jump off? And while she blamed Jolanda for their team being so slow, the reason they didn't take fire is because they decided to leave before getting to it. And why? Because Stephanie, who didn't appear to be helping in any way, was yelling at them to leave. She is going to be another Jerry M. - the one who does the least work but puts the most blame on others. Yuck - did we really need to see another Jerry? Otherwise, I really like the rest of the group so far.

I was struck by the fact that Stephanie actually LOOKS a little like Jerri!

I think if they took off their jeans, that might have been the last they saw of them. I wouldn't want to compete on Survivor for 40 days with no pants.

I thought the same thing about their shoes. The first thing you are supposed to do when you jump in the water full dressed is kick off your shoes - but these people needed their shoes - or thought they did.

The whole clothing thing is just too much of a set up to me and doesn't seem to accomplish anything.

Re Stephanie. I think Stephanie has better social skills than Jerri. I liked Jerri, but she really could rub people the wrong way. Steph just sorta breezed by being targeted this week. She probably dealt with it well when she reached the shore. She joked to the camera about the boat going faster than she could swim. If she was that charming to her fellow castaways, they probably just looked past her. Social skills are everything in this game. Besides, they all had the ken doll look-a-like to focus on and he lost out.

I watched again to see the catamaran overturn. The tribe said a wave came up, but I didn't see any wave. It seemed that they simply had too much weight on one side.

I haven't read thru this entire thread yet, but here are some misc ramblings...

I cannot BELIEVE that Koror didn't dump out the weights in the box before they left the island. All that weight just weighted down their outrigger anyways. That was pretty dumb, in my opinion.

I am really glad Wanda didn't make it past the first 10 minutes. I would've probably strangled her by the third day had I had to listen to that (it wasn't even GOOD singing!). She just drew herself a big giant target on her back.

I'm not surprised Jolanda went either. At some point you need to think of strength, but you also need to think of your living conditions. And if someone is just so obnoxious that it'll cause tensions with all the others, well, it's like a piece of dead skin... pick it off. Yeah, she was strong, but there are plenty of other strong players to cover. And she did make a fatal mistake by insisting they try and get all of the reward items.

I'm not sure why Koror wanted to go start anew. If they'd already had 20 people working on a shelter, that would make it better than, oh, say nothing!

WRT the clothes. Or lack thereof. The producers provide the survivors with sunscreen. Pay attention... you rarely see anyone totally fried by being out in the sun. That said, however, I thought some of 'em were a bit too quick to lop off their clothes.

I'm still not sure if I liked the pick me pick me thing at the beginning. I sorta think it was kinda cruel to do that on national TV, too.

And oh yeah... I really REALLY don't like being deceived. And those were some serious deceptions... the promos before the show. Yeah, I thought that two of 'em would be lost or couldn't make it thru the first challeng (physically) or something. And the "dropped off with nothing" was plain BS. They got machetes and water, which is pretty much what all tribes have gotten in the past years, isn't it? (If not all, then there was a season where that was all they got.)

I'd sure like to know why it's always "young vs old" or "cute vs not so much." Do the pretty girls always have to have their own cliques? Seems to me some of the others have more brains than, (whoops... better self mod myself!).

Right on! It reminds me of high school.
