So many things to say tonight. Forgive me if I'm too negative. 1) I was so grossed out by the snake I couldn't look! 2) I am so grossed out & annoyed by James(Rocky). Hope I don't have to listen to his loud mouth much longer. ARGH! 3) I'm so confused. How did those 2 <100> girls manage to talk 4 (or 5) guys into voting out someone they all (guys) agreed was an asset to the tribe??? 4) I still don't understand the logic in voluntarily voting out a (strong) tribe mate over switching camps. 5) I think this whole "luxury" theme is silly. This is Survivor! Getting beds, sheets & pillows, sofas, etc defeats the point to me. I hope they don't do the luxury idea anymore. 6) Poor Gary. I feel sorry for him. 7) I can't stand James (Rocky). Ooops, I already said that. Oh well, it bears repeating.

Rocky is in for a rude awakening when he get sprung. He'll be looking for fans and there won't be any.....teehee I'll chime in by saying so far this isn't working for me. Still shaking my head by Moto taking losing a tribemate for the comforts at camp. Silly if I'm asked.

The Survivor aspect of the game is lost on the Moto Tribe. If one of the Moto Members wins...and it's looking like they might...how can they be considered the ultimate Survivor when being pampered the whole time? So what...they beat a half-starved, dehydrated team. rahrahrah. ::yawn::

I don't usually chat about not wanting to watch a show any longer. But this season truely hasn't spark any interest in me. I already can't watch it on time, this season I'm getting to be like Costa- satisfied just by reading Raen's play by play and TVCHers opinions... Yeah, I kinda like to hate Rocky. But after listening to a bunch of his silly statement, I don't even think he is worthy of my thoughts any more. I also think it's that have, have not crap that bothers me. I already gave up DT's show for the same brilliant idea. Get it together, MB. Those kids should all "have", and these Survivors should all not have, just like the way it used to be!

Spitfire, I didn't even think of it as shedding. I know that rattlesnakes give birth to live young and I just assumed it was like that and giving birth. Of course that doesn't explain how it came out of the mouth, but whatever.... We had an earthquake right at 8:40 during the show so I wasn't thinking straight. I will blame it on that. haha

I don't think the snake was shedding it's skin. I believe when a snake sheds the skin starts coming lose at the head first and then it gradually wriggles/scrapes its way out of it. Besides, the sea snake was striped and what came out of it had dots on it. I'm gonna have to look that up. I really, really want Rocky, Dre and Lisi gone. IMO what happened to Lilliana is Lisi saw that the boys were liking her and getting along with her pretty good. Lilliana has a great body and is tough, strong and beautiful. Lisi is none of those things and was jealous because there is no way she can hold a candle to her so she schemed against her and won. I wanted Lisi out in the first show. Between her and Dre neither of them shut up.

Marine fouling and shedding of skin All snakes shed their skins. Sea snakes shed every two to six weeks, which is more frequently than land snakes and more often than needed for growth alone. The process involves rubbing the lips against coral or other hard substrate to loosen the skin. The snake then catches the skin against something to anchor it and crawls forward leaving the skin turned inside out behind it. Skin shedding allows sea snakes to rid themselves of fouling marine organisms such as algae, barnacles and bryozoans. Otherwise they would be covered with fouling organsims like the hull of a boat that needs to be cleaned and this would interfere with the snakes ability to swim efficiently and may also cause disease. Link This is an olive sea snake but the coral sea snake has the same habits/characteristics.

Oh, My! Each snake has two penises, each of which is an independent fully functioning unit.

Ok - Forgive me if this has already been posted - I haven't read everything yet! I, for the life of me, cannot understand the reasoning behind getting rid of Lilianna! I think this tribe is going to regret that decision down the road. Personally, I don't care for Lisi but it could be a case that her words / statements have been taken out of context. Rocky/James is making me go insane! I thought he was horrible back at camp following last weeks TC!! That poor guy (sorry - not so good with the names...none of these people are real standouts for me). I was hoping they would go to TC and vote out Rocky. Seems like he's trying to be Rob and that ain't happenin'!! Poor Papa Smurf! I hope everything works out health wise for him. What on earth was up with that snake?! Very disgusting. Don't think I'm going to be purchasing any little snakes for quite some time!!

Lisi reminds me of a bully. She's the type of woman whom I've never liked... she gets threatened by another woman and does all she can to "take her out." I don't like bullies, and that was a really stupid decision to vote Liliana (one of their stronger members) out. I hope it comes back to bite Moto in the butt. Poor Gary. He really did look miserable and sick. I hope he's OK. Something I was thinking... do you think maybe he had some kind of poisoning? All those bug bites!!! Rocky has serious anger management issues. I really don't like him at all. Roto barely lost the immunity challenge. And I was laughing because Rocky is all blaming everyone else for their failures to win, yet he really didn't help them much during the immunity. This is a really weird season... there's no one who I really like yet. Of course, we've not seen much of Moto, but still. That snake was gross. I don't know what sea snakes look like when they shed, and if that really was a shedding, it was disgusting. Thanks for showing that to us, Survivor editors! Finally, I'm really sick of the haves vs have nots concept. When you look at the two tribes, side by side, it's obvious... Roto has lost a ton of weight. There's no way they can compete EVENLY against Moto, who look like some of them have gained weight! I hope Moto gets their comeuppance for voting off Liliana soon, and they get sent to Ravu's camp. And I hope Yau-Man finds the HII!!!

I hope that after the merge they move everyone to the Ravu camp.Moto members will not know how to cut it and they will be dropping like flies.

Phew! I was so worried that my post last night was too negative I almost deleted it! LOL! Apparently, I'm not in the minority, though. Normally I try not to say much negative, and focus more on the positive aspects. Unfortunately, last night I couldn't find much positive. Nick, my thoughts exactly. Survivor is all about "roughing" it, struggling to Survive. I thought the same thing last night, at this point, if a Moto member does win they hardly deserve the title. Although, I keep hoping things will change. It is still pretty early. So maybe, sooner rather than later, the luxury camp & items will be removed & the playing field leveled. However, I am a bit annoyed w/ the R tribe, too. Maybe the editing just isn't showing it, but I don't see the R tribe doing much to improve their situation, ie trying to capture fish, or hunting & gathering, or improving their shelter. I just think that despite their circumstances I'd have more sympathy if I could see them trying a little harder.

It's much too lopsided this season. They should have introduced the bottle offer two weeks ago, or just made them switch up some other way (1/2 tribe for 1/2 tribe). I don't enjoy watching people starve and dehydrate, which is why I didn't enjoy Survivor Africa very much.

I hate this season, worst season yet, imho. The have/have nots concept - totally ridiculous and goes against the whole idea of "Survivor". I actually flip channels during the commericals on AI; I don't bother taping Survivor. I come here afterwards and read Raen's play by play commentary (Thanks Raen!!).

I agree, this is a hard season to get involved with. I hope when they get down to fewer players it will get better.

So, I take it no one knows what was up with the snake. I thought something was coming out it instead of the other way around.

That's it, "hard to get involved in". That seems to be the sentiment many of us share around her. I just thought about a twist tptb could do though. They could offer the chance of mutiny again. But Moto along with all new joiners gets to stay in the lux camp. Hopefully then, the Five would have to show some true colors and some real surviving skills.

Well, upthread someone said it was shedding it's skin. But generally when snakes shed their skins, they come out with the same pattern. That snake looked like it had another snake coming out of it's mouth (there was even a dingleberry thingie hanging off it's upper jaw). Of course, I only know from desert snakes. What the heck do I know about sea snakes? Either way, it was disgustingly GROSS!

Costa, I agree that it looked like something - well, it looked like a white snake - coming out of the snake's mouth because the eyes were still in the head of the dark snake.

The snake was not shedding it's skin. Snakes shed their skin by rubbing their 'chin' on something to tear it lose and start the process, then they slither/rub/scrape the rest of it off as they slither away. The skin comes off from the head back and turns inside out as it comes off. That snake was striped and what was coming out was not only white with dots, it was close to the same size apparently as the snake itself. Since sea snakes hunt and eat eels, I'm guessing that snake caught an eel and was trying to consume it but the eel was escaping. There are eels that are white with dots. This is an olive sea snake shedding it's skin. Olive sea snakes are very similar to coral sea snakes.

That definitely wasn't a snake shedding its skin. I remember an episode of Dirty Jobs where Mike Rowe was working with a lady who did research on a particular snake in her area. At the lab, they had to make the snake vomit to examine what it ate. That is exactly what it looked like to me. I Googled "snake vomit" and came up with some interesting hits. Among them was THIS site, saying "Snakes often vomit if disturbed too soon after eating."

Right, it was probably regurgitating an eel. Here is a clip of a snake regurgitating something much larger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAo5yT4ijdc
