Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Recap night:

One thing my Sis (shoutout to Lupe in Phx!) has commented is that they seem to be fairly well fed this season. I found this old Youtube that helps to explain some, Mike was the Personal Chef that had to be medivaced:

In the scene where laura was sunbathing on her back next to a crying Shambo, I noticed Laura has breast implants, and bad ones at that. The one that was more exposed literally looked like an implant sitting on a table, except it was flesh toned.

They were pretty bad!

Overall, it was a good recap... but gosh was the point to show how obnoxious Shambo has been? It's no wonder people stayed away from her.

I missed a lot of the show - did they do any explaining on why Shambo hates Laura so much?

They didn't... other than Shambo feels Laura is a stupid idiot. But it looks like Shambo feels as if everyone is a stupid idiot.

We saw Laura attempt to be sympathetic to Shambo when Shambo was homesick and thinking of her deceased sisters. Shamboo didn't like that Laura would try to reach out to her...

We saw her calling Dave a moron for taking over making the fire (which he was successful at).

She didn't like the Galu boys because they said they wanted to bring her far into the game... She called Dave out for being condescending.

Shambo's game play seems to be calling people out.

Thanks, Bonbon. Sorry to hear she was such a pill, she has many qualities I like.

Shambo certainly has poor social skills, but Laura wasn't much better. As Shambo shared her pain over the losses in her life, Laura entertained her with platitudes "They're better off where they are." (They're better off dead?!) "Just be glad you're here." and the ever empathic "What happened to our sun?" as the clouds rolled over and ruined Laura's tanning moment.

Piece of work, that one.

LOL. Laura isn't my favorite, for sure. Glad she's having fun at the Ponderosa, as a matter of fact, I wouldn't want her anywhere near the million.

I enjoyed the show. (except for Laura's comment that Kar mentioned...that is not the right thing to say to someone for sure). Survivor's recaps are much better than they used to be.

I can see why they find Shambo annoying. I like her though. She is different. I am surprised she is still there. I get a kick out of her. I think she is playing a different game than the others. I think she is lucky to be there still.

Russell is so smart and really playing the game well. I still don't like him personally, but like him as a player more than any other ever maybe. So few play it like this and I think they all should. Richard Hatch and Yul and Yaoman were similar in the smart strategy dept.

I don't like that he poured the water out or burned the socks at all. But all the rest, including the new footage last night, give me hope that they will cast more people willing to play like Russell is playing.

Wow is all I can say and keep it up Russell!

I wish Erik had stayed. I think he may also be a very smart player.

I sort of felt where Shambo was coming from when she was insulted that Dave said they would bring her along.

#1. It let her know she was at the bottom of their totem pole.

#2. The comment sounded more like "Even though we think you are loser, we will bring you with us for an extra number."

I would have a hard time faking a smile from that, and Shambo can be called anything, but she can't be called a phony.

Naja, I agree. It was very condescending.

And hey, what happened with the chickens? I thought Russell had propped the cage open so they could flee, but later they were still there?

Jaison's story about his father was very powerful.

It was the best recap episode Survivor has done IMO

I agree that Laura's comments were awkward at best... but that was one of those situations where the right words hardly ever can be found. Sometimes just letting the person know you are there for them is all that is needed... But at least Laura tried. I thought Shambo's confessional saying something to the effect of 'how dare Laura reach out and touch her at such a moment' was much worse.

Dave's comment was very condescending... Hey, we're throwing you a bone. Yes, it would be hard to smile... but welcome to Survivor where the social game is key!!

I liked Shambo at the beginning but now she just wears on me. Will be happy when she gets the boot. One thing about her tho, she has BEAUTIFUL hair. If it's not a wig!!!!

I am thinking a wig would be hard to maintain in Survivor conditions, so we can probably rule that out. I am surprised Shambo wears her hair as long as she does - maybe she thinks it is beautiful too although it has been my experience that folks with naturally curly hair would rather have straight. Of course, I think that after about a year of having straight hair, they would want the curly mop back!

what was it that the mullet-sporting lunchlady of a few seasons back said about her hair? "Practical in the front, feminine in the back" LOL

Kar, I guess either the chickens didn't leave (and maybe someone noticed the cage door not secure and fixed it) or Russ left it where they couldn't because Dave got up.

Bon, lol!

Shambo is no phoney...but the hair looks like Rambo...so I guess that is where her name comes from.

A mullet cut with naturally curly hair is a hard thing to do and maintain. And while I'd love to have straight hair, I think my long curls form my identity (look for the tall chick with the long curly hair... hard to miss me!).

Personally I think Shambo is getting prettier as the season wears on...her hair isn't nearly as distracting and her face has really slimmed down.

I think Shambo could get a high dollar endorsement from a hair conditioner company. "Here is how I looked on Survivor without any product....this is how I look with __X__ conditioner."

I've always heard mullet wearing people say it's all business in front and party in back.

Her hair is severely damaged. I'm curious to learn how much weight she's lost. I bet it's 20 lbs or more.

Speaking of bodies.. I think Natalie has a perfect petite body. she doesn't look too skinny even though she said she's starving.
