Car54 | Sunday, October 14, 2001 - 04:56 am   I have seen on several other sites that the next immunity challenge will be the traditional "eat something creepy". The word is this week they will have to drink warm cow's blood. Ewwwwwwww!! OK who will not be able to do this? |
Tntitanfan | Sunday, October 14, 2001 - 09:48 am   I am thinking that I remember that warm cow's blood is a staple in the Masai diet. I can barely get MILK out of a cow; I know I'd run into trouble trying to bleed one!! |
Llkoolaid | Sunday, October 14, 2001 - 09:51 am   I hate that part of the show, I am gagging just thinking about it. |
Car54 | Sunday, October 14, 2001 - 10:42 am   I'm a little worried about where the blood comes from... the pig killing in S2 was bad enough, lets hope they don't show us that part. I know they aren't aloud to kill African wildlife, but what about cows? |
Amac | Sunday, October 14, 2001 - 11:41 am   In the preview for the next episode Tom is shown beginning to drink the blood. Lindsey looks stunned. Ethan is a vegetarian (surpising, since he's a professional athlete), so it will be interesting to see what he does. |
Zed | Sunday, October 14, 2001 - 12:08 pm   I have read about the Masai coming of age ceremony where the young men drink cattle blood. They cut the cow in the neck & drain some blood without killing the animal. Cattle are the most precious commodity the Masai posess. I'm guessing that Frank will not only drink it, but ask for seconds....Lindsay many have a little trouble with this one... |
Grooch | Sunday, October 14, 2001 - 12:34 pm   I wouldn't do it. I'd be afraid of contracting mad cow disease or some other horrible disease. |
Kep421 | Sunday, October 14, 2001 - 03:05 pm   No way could I do it, diseases not withstanding. Maybe they are getting some leftover blood from nearby Masi who recently had a ceremony? One could only hope.... |
Ophiliasgrandma | Sunday, October 14, 2001 - 03:21 pm   Here is a grand site to learn a little about the Masai. www.wednet.edu/curriculum/soc_studies/kenya/masai.html I must say their diet does not particularly appeal to me. I'm a veggie type of gal myself. |
Kep421 | Sunday, October 14, 2001 - 03:29 pm   Me too, Ophiliasgrandma...bring on the zuchinni and yellow squash!!! Kool site though.... |
Tntitanfan | Sunday, October 14, 2001 - 06:58 pm   The Masai link didn't work for me. And here I was all set to say ewwwwwwwww! Titans WON today so I don't have to change my name! |
Kep421 | Sunday, October 14, 2001 - 07:21 pm   Tntitanfan, try this link.http://www.kent.wednet.edu/curriculum/soc_studies/kenya/masai/masai.html |
Crazydog | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 07:39 am   Kep, nope, I read in some magazine this week (either Us or EW) that they lead in a live cow and stick it and bleed it. Does not kill the cow. Then they line up to drink. |
Ophiliasgrandma | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 09:10 am   Thanks, Kary! My webtv equipment limits my technical abilities. |
Kep421 | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 08:28 am   No prob Ophiliasgrandma, how you doin'? |
Tntitanfan | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 10:12 am   Thanks, Kep421. That was an interesting article! |
