Thanks Bonbon...........I was viewing it from a link from another place, so I guess it wasn't a direct link that would work. I'll get the hang of it one day............

When Jeff said this season has the meanest (or whatever he called it) survivor yet, was he talking about Russell or Ben? So far, nasty as he is, Russell comes across as an egotistical clown while Ben seems to be just plain mean.

Russell is the biggest villain. Ben is the one who's gonna blow like a rocket and not in a good way.

WASHINGTON - A powerful 8.0 magnitude earthquake generated a Pacific tsunami on Wednesday, killing dozens of people in the Samoa islands and sending others fleeing for higher ground, officials said. An official in American Samoa said there had been at least 14 deaths there. In Samoa, a reporter for the Associated Press said tsunami victims "are everywhere" in a hospital near a hard-hit area and the dead could number up to 20. The reporter said three or four villages on the popular tourist coast near the southern town of Lalomanu on Samoa's main island of Upolu had been "wiped out" by waves that roared ashore early Wednesday.

Thanks Sherbabe for posting this. I have been monitoring all evening, and don't want to discuss the whole thing because it is on the news. Just wanted to post that the S20 cast and Crew are all reported to be safe. I believe it said that the cast had all come home about 16 days ago, and what was left of the crew there are safe as of the last report I saw from over at Survivor Blows.

Quake triggers tsunami in the Samoas, killing 39 By FILI SAGAPOLUTELE (For The Associated Press) From Associated Press September 29, 2009 10:00 PM EDT PAGO PAGO, American Samoa - A powerful Pacific Ocean earthquake spawned towering tsunami waves that swept ashore on Samoa and American Samoa early Tuesday, flattening villages, killing at least 39 people and leaving dozens of workers missing at devastated National Park Service facilities. Cars and people were swept out to sea by the fast-churning water as survivors fled to high ground, where they remained huddled hours later. Signs of devastation were everywhere, with a giant boat getting washed ashore and coming to rest on the edge of a highway and floodwaters swallowing up cars and homes. <snipped>

I thought Survivor Samoa would be over by now and all players are back home and the winner announced at the end of the tv season. If they're still there we could see their reactions to the tsunami on the tv show.. I'm surprised the show is happening live, I thought it was pre-taped, and wasn't the host at the Emmies Awards? I'm out of the loop on this one..

Spunky, what are you talking about? Samoa finished taping months ago and they just finished Survivor All-Stars 2.

Survivor 19 and Survivor 20 taped back to back in Samoa. The Cast and most of the Crew of Survivor 20 were back home 16 days before the earthquake. There will be a live show reunion after Survivor 19 to announce the $1 million winner, but it will not be in Samoa. It will be in the United States as it always is.

Not only are the Somoa players home, the cast from Survivor 20 All Stars has been home. Spunky, you had some of us (well, actually me) way confused with your post.

Mama, I agree with u too, ben was mean. Russell H. isn't going to last much longer either, the power dynamic shifted when Jaison took over that conversation from R when he asked 'what did ben do in the challenges?', and russell just had a blank look. Russ just assumed Jaison was gonna fold like the rest, but once he showed how bankrupt Russ' logic was, the game was over. People noticed that, and the spell has been snapped, hopefully. Russell backed down real quick, he might lurk, but he'll be ferreted out pre-merge. Watch, next time he starts a whisper campaign, they'll brush him off like Jaison did. They won't take his word as gospel, because they saw how he talked them up, but what he said didn't end up happening, and they almost ended up keeping that dead weight ben because of him. That mass hypnosis trick only works once, and at the start of things when people are still trying to get a handle of the game and see which way the wind blows. Showing that immunity idol to more than one person may be his downfall, too.

if they were smart they would vote him out before he thinks he is threatened. I would love to see him take his idol and go home

The problem with your thinking Tc, is that Russell is sabotaging his own team. He may back down and let Jaison take over, but he (Russell) will do his best to undermine him every chance he can. The stoopid things he did like emptying the water canteens and burning Jaison's sox? I think that was just the tip of the iceberg. So yes, I hope he gets voted out the next time his tribe is at TC.

Costacat, very good point, but he isn't being as low profile lately as he should, imho, he is slipping up. I still think showing the immunity idol to two very strong players each individually to get them to trust him may be his downfall. They ended up turning against his will later in the episode to vote Ben out. But I agree with your point that he'll just switch into that background stealth mode with sabotaging and pretending to be a team player, but the last two episodes, he has been a vocal swayer and has campaigned single handedly to get targets out of the game, and the rest have just taken what he said and went with it, as if he held some power of persuasion over them. I think those days are over, whether it is because he has less clout because of jaison's move or because he wants to go covert and do more sabotegery, or maybe we're in a different phase of the game where the group think has run it's course and alliances start to get testy. Surprisingly, I'm not as disgusted or taken aback by his scheming lately, its probably because ben had overshadowed him for rude behavior towards women, but russ saves it all for the camera behind their backs whereas ben was just flipping out all over the place. He probably put too much credit into getting that idol and is like gollum in Lord of the Rings, just marvelling at his sabertooth and thinks no matter what, he's made his mark. Worst thing he coulda done is find that idol. Too much power too soon, and the paranoia will set in soon after the hubris and secret gloating subsides.
