Anyone have any guesses on what kinds of luxury items the Survivors will bring?

My thought is as long as it isn't .... a backgammon set! At least we wouldn't have to see them play 24/7 - although I would pay for live feeds on Survivor!!!

I'm thinking that at least:

a Bible (like Dirk and Roger);
some kind of special article of clothing (like Lis's headress);
a musical instrument (like Sonya and Jerrie);
a cooking implement (like Keith)
a razor (can't remember who but someone on I and Kel);
some kind of makeup (if I remember right there was eyeliner on I and lipstick on II)

Hmm. I have to say I'm not impressed by some of the choices they actually did make. Several of them brought jewelry. I can understand why they would (sentimental reasons), but I do have to say I think more practical things (like the toothbrush and toothpaste) were better choices.

But ah well. Better than eyeliner or something.

Here's the list: It seems like these people have learned from the past and pretty much fall into three categories (with a few exceptions) 1) the sentimental talisman; 2) boredom busters, 3) comfort items

SENTIMENTAL

Kim: string necklace
Teresa: lucky bullet necklace
Jessie: necklace from grandmother
Lex: son's baby hi-tops
Tom: lucky charm

BOREDOM BUSTERS

Lindsay: beach ball
Diane: journal/pen
Ethan: hacky sack
Kelly: crochet needles/yarn
Kim: paints/brush

COMFORT

Brandon: chapstick
Carl: toothbrush/paste (the winner in my book :))
Linda: aromatherapy ball (I guess it is for relaxation?)
Silas: pillow (again, great choice!)


I am guessing that

Frank: whitetail antlers is a tailsman (but not sure)

and I guess

Clarence: camoflage paints can either be tailsman or boredom buster- or just plain stupid!

Seems like they realized that music instruments did little to endear the person playing to the group (hehehe- Jerry and her bongos).

Kim brought paint and brushes? Where is she going to paint without a canvas or paper? That sounds like a wasted luxury item.

I would have brought a blanket, which could be used as shelter or to cover the ground. A pillow is a good choice, too.

I just want to note that Carl is a dentist. They probably all had the toothbrush & paste as a luxery item, but he probably refused to go unless he got to take that. It would be bad for business if he came back and he lectured his patints about their hygiene habits and they would answer back, "Well, you didn't brush your teeth for 3 months."

Twiggy, after what Colby pulled with his flag, they probably wouldn't let anyone bring a blanket or anything similiar.

I know last season every contestant submitted a list of things they would like to bring as their luxury item and Mark Burnett picked which one they could bring. I am sure this happened this year too. So I am sure their luxury items were all up to Mark.

Somebody is going to crochet? Cool. I've made some cool stuff, like afghans for family & friends. In a pinch, Kelly can put together some sturdy rope if she's got good yarn.

Excuse me while I go off and laugh at my own comments. . . .

yah I remember Mark saying that they submit their 3 choices and he decides if they are OK as luxury items. When he OKayed Colbys Texas Flag, Mark didn't envision it big enough to be used as shelter. (I am also guessing that is why the flag was taken away in exchange for more rice)

I keep waiting for one of the (now) 48 players to bring a big ole bottle of multi-vitamins, or protein powder. {G} Especially after the last show, that's where my head would be.

Rissa,

I have read in many places that CBS provides multivitamins to the contestants. Much was made of the fact that Colleen would not take hers and got scurvy. Remember the sores on her legs? and she has scars still.

Also, on the other survivor's, they were all provided with toothbrush/toothpaste so if the same on this one, it is not really that smart of a choice in my opinion, but I guess he is picky about how he cleans his teeth and that is his priority.
