What's wrong about being snarky, nerovh? Gc quit last night, quit digging on another challenge and quit being the leader. He's a quitter all the way. Sugar seems very sweet but maybe to dependent on ace.

So as I watched the show I noticed Paloma having full coverage underwear... somewhat similar to the boxer briefs that Marcus was wearing last week... and as I re-wached I noticed that as Sugar was hunting around exile she too was wearing the boxer briefs... not the lacy g-string I would have thought she would have been wearing... Do you think they were told to wear appropriate or Survivor issued undergarments??? [Yah I know Ace's bright orange probably were not issued by Mark Burnette]

Probably Bonbon. I read somewhere last season that CBS spent $1 million to "pixillate" (spelling?) Amanda's butt for both seasons.

Yep, undies will constitute a considerable savings, although they may not provide as much distraction for the other players! As a footnote: In the South, "pixillated" means a trifle nuts!

Well wouldn't you think that if they were told, "you are going to a party tonight, please wear these grey boxers" that the would-be castaways would get a clue that clue that their adventure was about to begin and they would not wear their strapless dresses and high heals??? Just a thought???

They could've been given the boy shorts after they were already en route to Gabon. And I thought Jeff said "street clothes" at the beginning of the season (not party clothes).

I thought Sugar was just wearing somebody else's manties.

I thought we heard a few seasons ago (the season that there was the lady wrestler), that they were TOLD what they had to wear to the island. I seem to recall her telling a story that they wanted her to wear some crazy boots and wrestling getup to go with her "character".

Eeyore... I also remember that. But there was also a season where they were told that they were going to a pre-show photo shoot and when they arrived, they were whisked off to the island. On yet another season they were to arrive at a "cocktail party" and again were brought immediately to their destination... So yah if they were told to wear a certain dress or suit then there is nothing they could do... but if I were told simply to show up somewhere and "by the way wear your boxer/briefs" I would get in survivor mode!! Doesn't matter if it was a party, photo shoot or medical check-up!!

Yup. If I were going to be on survivor, I've be wearing "adventure gear" to every single thing. The moment I leave my house, I'd be in adventure gear to the moment I left the island. I wouldn't fall for that "wear your stethoscope" crap. Sure, I'll wear it with my backwoods survival outfit!

Heck are you kidding? I'd be wearing about 15 layers of clothes, including 4 pairs of shoes, 10 pairs of undies, 14 cross my heart bras (so they'd never have to blur my boobs), 12 sweat shirts, 3 sweat pants, 5 tank tops, and 7 shorts!!!!

ROFLMBO Costa... Me too! And I would be practicing eating some majorly disgusting stuff so as not to be thrown by the eating weird shite challenge. (Actually that's always the main thing I cannot stomach to watch each season, that goes for BB too.) And how to make a fire... and how to fish, and trap small animals like rabbits, or whatever. I mean what's the point going unprepared? If you want to win, you have to be healthy & capable to survive it.

I seem to recall hearing (from an earlier season) that the contestants are giving training on how to survive, including information on what they can and cannot eat wherever they land. I can't recall if the fire starting thing was one of them, but I do remember hearing about quite a bit of info they are given before they even begin filming.

I heard about it too, Costa, but yet so many contestants seem so unprepared and out of their depth each season.

I remember immunity tie breakers or something, based on the "handbooks" that they were given at the start of the game. Stuff about the local flora and fauna. For some reason, I remember a tribal council where several contestants had to write their answers on notepads. Does anyone else remember that? It was one of the earlier seasons (3-7ish).

Yeah, I kinda do Eeyores. I vaguely remember a challenge when Jeff casually mentioned that they were given information on the island/area before they were sent there and the challenge would have to do with what they were given to read before the show started - but I can't remember what season it was.

There was an article in our paper about Ken, who is a local guy and he said that even before he was officially told he was going to be ON the show.. he had auditioned and been told probably not, but then he had to send his clothing ahead and called to ask a question about the clothing and was told he was "ON". So if they send clothing ahead and that is given back to them at the discretion of Survivor, perhaps they really don't have the choice to attend anything in survivor gear or fifteen layers. I know that has occred to me as well, that I'd be dressed in some practical way, like Sandra's scrubs which weren't heavy like jean material but covered well. Still hard to imagine not bringing underwear that covered well and certainly not doing what apparently happened more than once, going to the "party" commando with a skirt on..

Yeah! Who are these women who think going commando to a Survivor related event is smart?!!? LOL I do also recall that Survivor DOES give them their runners and stuff after they find their beach. Or maybe that was just one or two specific seasons.

Cool tidbit of info Sea... thanks! But again, if they asked me to send in some clothing, I would send in my athletic wear... {well I guess that is why I wouldn't be chosen and those girls who send in their g-strings are}

Part of the reason they send clothing in in advance is so that the producers can remove any logo wear. They also probably inspect the clothing to be sure nothing (matches, for example) are being smuggled in. Heck, it's not been beyond me to think about sewing matches into the hem of a skirt! <wink> I'm sure they are examined before the first filming begins, and inappropriate or excessive clothing is taken away from them then, too. Which of course negates the possibility to wear 15 layers but heck, you can't blame a girl for trying!

Here's the interview with Ashley (the wrestler from China): LINK
quote: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.

Yikes that is even worse. Hmm that is how Sandra lucked out and got to wear scrubs, maybe? Of course the best would be the cargo pants with pockets and the zip off legs.
