Gillian was a leader, they just wouldn't accept her because they saw her as a weak person. This tribe is doomed.

She wasn't an effective leader, though.

You know...if Fang would get together an combine their brains, they MIGHT have enough gray matter for one complete one to help them....Okay, that's not fair. It's common sense that is lacking here. Were they told not to use glasses to start a fire? It's not THAT difficult with direct sunlight, but they may have been told not to. Good idea making a fish hook though!

No, she wasn't that kind of leader but she knew about living in the environment and you need that. They could rid themselves of her later instead they are still leaderless.

I'm so happy Survivor's back...what a dysfunctional tribe Fang is...I missed it so much, I was wiping away tears at the absurdity of it all. It's truly wonderful.

When Jeff first said Fang I thought he said thong.

Really not digging on Randy at all.... How funny he would talk about being Gillian being an old person who needed to get out. FYI dude, you're old too. You will soon be going too unless you throw in some charisma which I don't think he has. Not likeable at all IMO. Loving me some Bob though!

Sea, that's how the rest of the world pronounce those words, Fang, Yang or Wang ....(One of those words is my maiden name, ). I had no trouble getting around Germany, England, Switzerland .... until I came here. It's a daily chore for me to correct that pronunciation. Grrr....

I enjoyed the show and I love Survivor. I was mildly disappointed though that they didn't seem to do anything to create a true two-hour show. I thought that they would use the extra time to show more of each character, the developing relationships and the background that we don't normally get to see in any great detail. Instead we basically got two shows glued together.

Jimmer, I think it was indeed two separate shows shown on the same night, minus the usual leak-in recap.

Wasn't it Survivor Somewhere that the tribe that went to Tribal council did not get fire until they earned it? So they were not given a flint, and they were told to snuff out their torches before heading back to camp... These guys were lucky!

Did Michelle make a final statement as she was leaving? Talk about mean and gripey, she was awful. Gillian was courteous and a good sport about leaving, but she really was pretty slow in the running and strength.

Michelle was classic "dog in the manger." You can look it up and learn some stuff. I believe it is an Aesop's Fable.

Chy, yes on the pronumciation.. with names I always listen to how the person with the name pronounces it and am careful to pronounce it the same. But Fang, as in fangs on a vampire, or snake or dog..that is what I see/hear when I see the tribe name. I agree, Jimmer, just two shows jammed together. As for getting fire, I suspect that given all the large animals around, they wanted them all to have fire sooner than later. Remember that we don't see everything.. in one of Jeff's pre-season interviews he said of Gillian that she's nice but she talked a bunch and apparently reminded them OFTEN that she had lived in South Africa.. he said so often that maybe people would want to say "well go back there". So I gather he was also frustrated with her.

I wish they had voted out Gillian at the first TC, so it would have spared me having to listen to her for the second hour. I do think it is kind of cute that Charlie has a "man crush" on Marcus, and it doesn't seem to really bother Marcus.

Hey Mods, can we get a separate thread for last nights show similar to other major shows? I ask because someone had a general survivor question and had not seen the show yet, so she posted on the other side of the board. Oh and they flashed on the screen to go to CBS.com to hear Michelle's final remarks ...

How about that High Def! I loved it!!! I must say that FANG is pretty sad and Jeff seems to be in amazement at all of them... You would think that maybe some of them would have seen the show before and realize that it is not a cake walk. Michelle was just a bummer to be around.

The only person I like on Fang is Dan. Ok, so he's some "eye candy" and he reminds me of the guy who was on Alias, whose name I can't think of at the moment. What in the world were they thinking when they chose that tribe? Certainly not on winning. They were pretty much a disaster. My least favorite now that the two women are gone is Randy. Didn't he learn anything about Survivor before he went on the show? Being social is part of the game!! I probably wouldn't have voted Michelle off first, but I was worried when I saw how thin she was to start. Yikes! Maybe she's a person who just can't gain weight, but I think her health could have been in danger had she stayed long. I love Bob, Charlie and Marcus on Kota and a couple of the girls - I think the ones they decided to work with on Kota. Bob rocks! He does look far past his age. I couldn't believe when they said he was 57. Jessica "Sugar" I think could get on my last nerve. I'll have to wait and see.

This is gonna be really cool...Jeff Probst is doing a show blog for ew.com, and he pulls absolutely no punches...here's his take on the first 2 eps... http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2008/09/jeff-probst-blo.html loved this line: "Question: Is Corinne more or less hot now that you know she'd burn your house down if she got mad at you? Corinne, I hope you're laughing. You know I'm joking. If not, I sure hope you don't know where I live."

Bob was on the local news last night talking about the show,of course he didn't really say much,just that there were a lot of animals and you could here them breathing at night.That's pretty much all he said. Would it be against the law to go to his house and stalk him until he tells me who wins LOL!!!!!!!!! He doesn't live to far from me!
