from Costacat's quote: Poi,the Maori word for ball, is essentially a weight on the end of a string or chain. That sounds exactly like the thing Bruce was carrying when he returned at Tribal Council.

I thought poi was a sticky substance that Hawaiians ate with their fingers...

Teach, check out Raen's play-by-play posted @ 5;39pm, Feb. 9th. She didn't say who said it but I'm pretty sure it was Misty.(About making a new Fishing Spear.) I'd like to see that come Thur.! CC, have you ever seen a Dancer/Juggler on with Letterman? It was not too long ago. He used to have this girl pepper in circus-act-like dances w/wo Fire. That's what I think of when I saw "Fire Dancer" as Courtney's current job. Kateibug is probably right. They might want Shane around so he could be the first to be offered as the first Lamb when the real slaughter starts after the merge.

This is part of what HeyitsLory posted on the Contestants page: Marit is currently a performance artist, working with others to collaborate and create theatrical shows that include music, fire, trapeze, stilts and a myriad of circus arts. She is founder of Revolve Productions, a company that has brought together musicians, disc jockeys, designers and performers dedicated to creating one-of-a-kind events. She also teaches fire dancing with the intention of celebrating this ancient art form as a tool of self-expression, meditation and fun. So, Costa, she is doing it as both meditation and performance to make a living.

One more thing I need to say. Those Hot socks/stockings would be no match to any bugs. Believe me, I was born and raised on a Subtropical island. They might cover up the bites, that's about it. And some times the bites get infected worse when covered up, no air and all. The only way to get less bites would be wearing thick pants or stick with a female whom the bugs think tastier than you are. (My sister used to be mine, but I my brothers'.)

Teach - thanks for clearing that up for me ;) But that WOULD be cool to have a fire breather on the island - ha! Maybe something the casting department can keep in mind. BTW - haven't heard of Lallybroch so I must have a twin out there somewhere Good point Chy about letting the bug bites air out. I got to thinking that all kinds of bacteria could breed in those socks too... so maybe not a good idea afterall. But for my peace of mind, I'd still want something between me and the nasty bugs - but that's why I'm not on Survivor

I think the socks were a fashion statement...it's just how they came across. Pants are for preventing bug bites.

Lallybroch is just the name of another set of message boards that are a collection of "Fans" of a particular set of books (Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series). THANKS Chy for reposting the bit about the spear. I obviously wasn't paying close enough attention (probably because DH and I were both commenting on what's her name's stupidity at aiming the spear at the water in water that is 30-40 feet deep!!!!) I personally think the parachute pants of the 80s would be best at preventing bug bites...that nylon material but w/elastic ankles so no crawlies get up your legs! Actually, they now make these for boys at Land's End, but they're a regular material and are called "climber" pants! LOL

i knew the lollybrach connection but i have to admit, i am bored to tears over the second book and i don't think i'll be eating up the entire series. i read the first one pretty quick, but it's just getting tiresome now. probably just the one very long book would have done it. i raced out and bought books 2 and 3 on eBay and i'll bet i don't even finish 2 let alone start on 3. my sister has read all 6 or however many there are... the socks did look goofy, but they probably do help some with the bugs and they do hide the unshaved legs syndrome LOL

LOL @ Chy about hanging around with someone "tastier" than you are! Maybe that's why my sister used to get chewed up by fleas, and they never really bothered me? The unshaved legs bother me less than the unshaved pits. For some bizarre reason.

Tabby -- I've devoured all of the books -- but the second book was the "slowest" for me because of the French politics. The third one, however, was my absolute favorite! The first, third and sixth (most recent one) seemed to move the fastest -- but I love the detail and family things that occur in the "slower" books, too. Shoot -- I'm just hooked on Jamie! LOL Now HE'D be the ultimate SURVIVOR! LOL Hope you enjoy the books Roxip!

Those books are amazing. I have raved about them since I started them about 5 or 6 years ago. I have not, however, read the latest in the series. I'm too cheap to buy the hardbacks, but maybe I can check it out from the library.
