I think it is the same kind I wear and for what you have to pay for the darned things it SHOULD hold up that well!

I had been using this site to watch BB8UK and I found it has episodes of this seasons Survivor. They are maybe a week behind in episodes uploaded at this writing, but it's still a good site to catch up, particularly if you have trouble with innertube like I do. Here's the link:

Current thought is that it will be a recrap episode -

Marebear, yes, it is a recap. Or let's say I am sure enough that it is a recap that I have no thoughts of taping it. TVGuideOnline says it is a recap. I think Zap2it does too.

I taped it and it actually has some scenes which were not shown on the regular shows. If you happened to record it, you might want to watch it.

I watched the show too - what else to do when you are too full of food to even move? And there were a few bits of interesting new footage as Watching said -

It was actually a much better 're-crap' than usual. Added some perspective to some of the relationships and people that I didn't have before.

That's good to hear. I have it recorded but I wasn't sure if it would be worth watching. I'll take a look at it now.

After watching that, I can understand now why they have kept Courtney around. She has much more of a personality than they have previously shown us!

Loved the segment where Courtney was mimicing the other tribemates. Entertainment is about all the work she is able to do.

I've got to agree with everyone about the recap episode. There was so much previously unseen footage, it was almost like a new show.

I agree, that was THE best recrap I've ever seen Survivor put out. Interesting to rewatch, from start to finish, the history and orderly progression as to how we got to this point.

Especially fun to remember that it was Jaimie who got to deliver the very first HII clue to Leslie - and then re-watch Jeff tossing Jaimie's faux fake HII into the flames. And the look on James' face as it went down = priceless!

Yes, getting up early to do the motherly housecleaning. Tossing out the fish heads BAIT and then 'couldn't find them' was beyond stupid! She probably tossed them into the water upstream (drawing all the potential catch to an early feast). If Leslie had merely buried them, she could have found them and rinsed them off. Crabs & shrimp just LOVE stinky fish heads, the stinkier the better - that I remember from younger days with our crabpots at the piers.

Loved all the pre-start with them shlepping all their suitcases up the long staircase. That was some major walking.

Question for the survivor watchers:-)

How is the season this year? I watched maybe the first two episodes but not since. I used to love Survivor but for whatever reason I have come to find it a bit boring. My TV time is limited now with the two kids and I decided to give it up for other shows but guess I'm wondering if it's perked up a bit.

It's okay, I just find that there is no one person that shines out. There are some that I'd rather see win over others but nothing special. I still like the show and I will probably watch it no matter what!!!

I think this seasn has been better than some of the recent ones. The players are pretty intriguing. They changed things up just enough to keep you guessing, but not to the extent that the spirit of the show is lost. I think that is the secret to why Survivor stays fresh and interesting each year. It is not completely predictable.

To me, all of the seasons have the same ups and downs. We always say we can't get attached to any character. We always say these are the worst cast ever. We always say all of those things, but it's still a really enjoyable show for the most part. Sure, some episodes might suck, and then there are some episodes that are GREAT. The one with Jamie and the HII was awesome.

I find early-season Survivor episodes more boring, because there are so many characters, and somehow production seems to gloss over everyone. It's hard to get invested in the early episodes. But later in the season, we know who we like, we have a sense of the game and its intricacies, who has the power, who has the idols, etc., and it becomes a more interesting show.

I do have to say that the latter half of this season seems SO MUCH better, because there is a lot f focus on camp life, rather than many past episodes that focus on just the challenges and rewards. It seems like more game-playing has been going on, and the cameras and production people have been letting us see more of that the past month or so.

I like every season. None of them ever reallllly excite me 100%, but they all keep me interested at about 75%. My favorite season was I think the Yul and Ozzy season. Two very deserving men, for different reasons.

Okay, I'll admit it. I watch a lot of these shows still simply so I can come here every day and debate and discuss what happened with all of you. Does that make me pathetic?

No Roxip, I confess to doing the same. In a LOT of ways, it's like an Anthropology experiment. Some things SEEM like a "given" in the community code of behavior (i.e., don't wash one's underwear in the community cookpot like BB from Survivor 1, don't eat the beans when everyone else is starving, like in Survivor Africa.)

But THEN all these years later ... everyone here is groaning and discussing "Didn't these people EVER watch past Survivors!!?! You just don't DO that!"

And then they DO!

Still, that one lady (who washed her leopard spotted bikini underpanties in the community cookpot), then went on to claim the prize. So you just never know how it will play out.

It's the dynamics between the players, and I'm thinking this is a great season. They've got us sitting on the edge of our seats. Look how many people are groaning about what may happen this week and how they left us hanging with the recap instead? James chortling over his two HII is such fun to watch, no matter how often I see that.
