It would be interesting for them to have at least one decent, usable set of clothes and then have the Survivor staffies pick through their suitcases and give them each 3 or 4 things to either use or barter. Heck, you could even let them pick their own stuff as some folks in the past have brought some strange luxury items. Or maybe give them each 3 or 4 things that belong to others and have them grovel for their stuff. Hmmmmm.

Maybe Sherea should let Jean-Robert snuggle her for one night and she could suffocate the <77> in his sleep with those guzungas.

I ditto the "give them some clothes!" I said that to my DH while watching the show! This is the worst yet. Robert took a major step down for me and no more favorite in my book. Courtney looks like she's about to keel over. I do agree, healthwise, she doesn't appear like she should be there. Leslie did ruin it with her mouth. I was starting to like her. And didn't Dave HAVE shorts or at least shorts he made out of his clothes? What was the point of him going naked in the challenge? Yuck! Have they shown the lady with the mullet even SPEAK yet? My DH was cringing at her lack of clothing, among others, in the challenge.

Dave did have shorts, but chose to take them off for the challenge---I think he did that so that the others wouldn't have anything to grab onto for extra leverage. The shock effect and the "eww" factor probably played into it as well--.

Then, too, if you only have one pair of pants, do you want to have to wear them until they dry on your body?

I like them not having clothes! I think it is funny!

I think Dave was trying to channel Richard Hatch by ditching his shorts.

I don't really have a favorite yet.

It was time for Leslie to go. I had no use for her right from the start. She seemed to accept her ouster because god was ready to send her home...oy.

The show was touted to have some of the most interesting contestants, well I haven't seen that yet.

And please NO MORE rough housing comps.

Yes, James is fine unless he is into the guy talk. Hard to believe they were concerned for Courtney's health, but still hoped to have some action with her.

when asjed about the clothes, Ashley says that they supplied the clothes for them...

What about your clothes – how did you end up in fishnets and boots? Why weren’t you wearing those zip-off cargo pants and rain gear all the time just in case?




Oh my gosh. Of course! They give you an outfit and you have to wear it. Everybody’s screwed. Stillettos – I would never wear that outside. (laughing) I would never wear a pair of bra and panties that don’t match! (mock outrage) “What? Who gave me these? These are awful.” But no, I think maybe they looked at my character on WWE and thought, she’s always wearing fishnets, let’s put her in them. I’m like, nuh-uh. (laughing) There were other girls worse off than me. Jaime didn’t have a bra on. She didn’t even get a bra. That’s kind of crazy.

One season if I remember, they were told they were going for a photo shoot and some of them dressed up for pictures and that was when they took them off a had them jump off the boat in what they had on. I remeber one guy had a suit jacket on. I think it came in real handy.

I also seem to remember that one girl had on heels and one of the guys broke the heels off for her, so she could walk in them. Anyone else remember that?

If they really do tell them what to wear and then they are dumped like that, that is very unfair. Some of them had on much more practical things than others.

Actually, I think they have gotten a little ridiculous with the clothes thing. It is just silly now. Certainly not sexy if that is what they are aiming at. 39 days in the same set of clothes is stupid.

Yep I do Allie, that's when they had the scout leader on and she had her scout uniform on.

Courtney makes us cringe - she has no muscle or fat reserves. In a starvation situation (of which they are in) her body will start to catabolize her organs. Not healthy.

I agree that Courtney doesn't look particularly healthy at the moment, but I find myself liking her personality more and more.

I wish they'd show more of Denise's personality. She either goes a long way and we get to know her later, or she's extremely boring.

If any of the women are going to be labeled "America's Sweetheart" this season, it'll probably be Amanda. I can't find one thing to dislike about her.

Dave is too much of an amateur in terms of strategy to go too much farther. We've seen a lot of him, so he's either in the top 3 or 4 or he's out fairly soon. He'd have to get real lucky to make it past the next few TC's.

I was rooting for James after the first few shows, but now I'm rooting for Amanda, Courtney, or Jaime.

I like Courtney much more now. I couldn't stand her before. I do think she came on the show looking like she'd already been on survivor for 39 days of practically no food.

I like this season, I can remember their names more than other season, but I get Dave and Aaron mixed up and that keeps my brain mixed up about who is on what tribe for all the surviors, not just A and D. Oh well...I'm still enjoying it.

I wish they had clothes too.

I am not surprised Todd voted Leslie out. That protects his secret about knowing the Hidden Im. Idol clue.

I wondered why Jeff isn't mentioning it at TC too, but then remembered that the kidnapped person gets something to open in private. Most don't know that the "open in private" tube has a clue to the hidden im. idol.

Why oh why oh why did they let Courtney do the rope cutting instead of the puzzle?? At TC the whole tribe was going on about how they had to make sure they matched everyone's ability to the challenges... so why would they pick the smallest, weakest girl to do the hack-n-slashing, while big, dumb John-Robert does the puzzle?? Made absolutely no sense to me last night.

About the hidden idol, if these people have ever watched Survivor in the past, they must have a hunch that a player that gets an "open in private" tube is getting a clue to the idol. You'd have to live under a rock not to even think maybe that's what it is.

maybe they let JR stay b/c then the puzzle makers had to drag that thing over the finish line and that looked heavy!
Courtney was pretty pathetic in her attempts!!!!

I agree with you, Karen-they must know it's a clue for the idol!! lol

That pole the puzzle went on was in a huge cement block. I'm guessing it probably weighed 75 - 100 lbs. If Courtney can barely swing an axe, she sure as hell can't drag 75 lbs.

I forgot about the whole 'drag it across the line' bit. Suppose that makes sense to leave Courtney out of it.

Being thin doesn't not always equate to being weak. Many of my Asian exchange students were thin but quite strong when it came to sports and such. Unfortunately in Courtney's case the two do seem to go hand in hand. She makes Dani (from BB) look positively portly!

Lycan..., Denise said this as she voted Leslie off(Alaginger has them in the spoiler area):
Denise (Leslie): I hate to see you go, you did a good job around camp, but I don't need preaching to, I already got a mother. Thank you.

That tells me a little fun bit about her! I think we may be able to see more of her later. I'm sure SEG will give her a turn. Jeff talked about her in previews, the little confession about hoe thrilled she was in China could not be all that she could be! :-)

Finally watched this episode on demand. I wish Courtney would have been evicted. Watching her swing that machete with less energy than most people put into a flyswatter really irritated me.

GAL, I totally agree.

That monk or nun should have really smacked her down from the begining of the show.

The girl doesn't have a clue, she is looking for the subway under every leaf.

I think that's what bugged me about Courtney the other night. She was TERRIBLE at that challenge, and I think she wanted to just give up. I can't stand to see someone like that. And then she had the nerve to complain about her team wanting her to sit out and how they wanted to put her where she could do the least damage. I can forgive a player for being weak or screwing up if they at least seen to put some heart into what they are doing, but she displayed neither strength nor heart. I just can't root for a player like that.

What Nero said!

After reading Leslie's after-boot interview, I start to feel bad for her and wish Courtney would have been out.
