Lame lame challenge! other then it was a mud fest. At first I thought it was going to be cool when Brian went after Danni and slammed her in the mud. But was not very exciting.

My DH also complained that it was a very lame competition. He said there could have been so much more to it than just slopping around in the mud. Booo!

Yeah, the tug-o-war was kind of a bore but the other thing with the spider net was good.

I was tense watching both though because I wanted Nakum to win and they did!

I agree, the mudfest was very confusing. And to add to the confusion, you couldn't tell what color was what (and who was who) cuz they were all mud covered.

Oh I loved this challenge. Was certainly something different to see finally.

The thing that I liked about the challenge was that it really came down to who wanted it more.

No real luck/skill involved, just brute determination.

I didn't understand leaving their post to go try and grab the other team/player. That made no sense. I'd have liked to roll around with Danni, also, but game-wise it was stupid. And that skinny farmer kid Brandon is pretty darn strong for his size.

I missed part of the show, but I didn't understand the mud competition at all and didn't even understand how they decided who won. That was crazy.

I think it's an excuse not to do work around the camp.

Pamy - the "i can't breathe" guy looks like he might have a pulmonary embolism ...

"The prolonged immobility of flight passengers during long-haul air travel increases the risk of developing blood clots, which could prove fatal ... A pulmonary embolism can form when the blood clot breaks into smaller pieces, floats in the blood and becomes lodged in the blood vessels supplying the lungs, which may result in sudden death."

I made this diagnosis based on seeing another reality show which had a fellow fly half way around the world to Australia to be a deckhand on a ship and have this happen. The clot will either break up & pass or not. I hope he is ok.

"He looks like he needs medical attn at camp and then becomes superman at the challenge???"
As a disabled person, I get this all the time - I look "normal" & can do some things but no one sees me shut down the next few days after over exertion.

Maybe he's having panic attacks.

I think that one chick Danni looks like a walking skeleton.

It first I thought Danni was going to be a Hotty...tell I saw her skin n bone...If any of these peeps are real survivor fans they need to know...bulk up, fatten up cuz you gonna look like a karen carpenter in the end if you last.!

Also in regards to Blakey boy....that kind of dead damn humid heat...it can effect your breathing. For instance I can't handle saunas. I can't breath

***I wrote this comment a couple hours ago but since the board was down, couldn't post it***


*new to the survivor board, so I hope I'm not stepping out of bounds with my comments*

Pamy - I think that the "i can't breath" guy is probably a pampered, babied, swooned over model that doesn't truly know the the meaning of hard-work, or struggling, is used to having everything handed to him or done for him, and has never pushed his body more than a gym work-out. I definitely think he is EXAGERRATING. Granted, I've never done survivor, I've never gone on bare minimum food or water, and I know it can wreak havoc on the body. I think it's very psycho-somatic in his case and he's over reacting. But it's kinda like hyper-ventilating, you start not being able to catch your breath and then you freak out because you seemingly can't stop - but you can, if you can get over that "anxiety". But I also think he enjoys being mothered and babied by Margaret, and getting out of physical labor.

I'm amazed at the "men" this year - so many issues!

Going just based on the pictures before the tv show started (and I haven't read any spoilers and don't care to), I picked Brandon to win or at least get pretty far. I think the women have "manned up" much more then the men have. So it'd be great to see a woman win!

I thought the competition was pretty lame as there was so little action and it did just seem as though they were laying in the mud. There was no way any guy was going to be able to drag Judd across the mud even if he wasn't struggling and holding his ground.

BTW I also thought that Danni's body was quite shocking and scary looking and this is only how many days in? If she stays for a while she might have some real issues since her body has very little fat to use.

thank you :-) seems a bit tamer over here compared to BB, or do most people hang out in the spoilers area?

Morgan did mention on Survivor Live today that some of their team members also had problems similar to Blake/Bobby Jo (heat prostration) but they never showed it. She did mention names but I didn't catch them.
