Does anyone feel the way I do??
Nessietessie | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 09:26 am     I love survivor, as always. However, this go around of contestants, to me, do not seem to be very entertaining or interesting. With the exception of Rob, none have that special personality, whether you like them or not. Remember Rudy, Susan Hawke, and Gervase from Survivor I? How about on II, there were outstanding personalities such as Geri, and Alecia. On III, we had Lex, Brandon, and Tom. This go around, we have Rob, who is mildly entertaining, but everyone else seems bland. Does anyone agree or disagree? |
Micknrc | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 10:19 am     I don't know Nessie, I think something like that everytime and then by halfway into the season they grow on me. Then when the next season starts, I look over at DH and say "Gee, I really miss the guys from last time." It's been very rare that anyone's grabbed me right away. (Greg, Jeff, and Lex are the exceptions...) Also, I think we have to wait another episode or two to get more of Rotu's personality--screentime is so limited that we really don't get very much on any one person until several episodes have elapsed. I believe Rotu is the tribe to watch and they just haven't had as much facetime since the last quarter of the show always revolves around the tribe headed to TC. |
Crazydog | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 10:26 am     I disagree Nessie. I was thoroughly bored by S3 as a whole. Although I found Brandon entertaining, and Lex's antics mildly so, I was put off by Tom. I think this is the best Survivor in a while. Nothing will ever top the first one. I was still really into the second one. But I found Africa's contestants as dreary as the landscape. This Survivor has rekindled the interest in me and I am happy to be seeing the island and water setting again. The Rotu tribe so far is a snoozefest, but part of the problem is that we don't get to see as much of them since they haven't gone to Tribal Council. Once they do, inevitably Kathy will be getting the boot and as she tries deseperately to avoid elimination I anticipte a veritable buffet of crying histrionics. After she is gone, with their next Tribal Council, let the infighting begin! "I'd like to say a word on their behalf." "Go on, Brother Crazydog." "Marammuu. Makes. Me Laugh!" How can you not find Marammuu entertaining? We have Hunter the alpha leader, his sidekick Gina the condescending snob, the angry black male Sean, the bemused Vecepia, the clueless and over-the-top (pun intended) Sarah, and Rob. This is the most entertaining tribe since S1's Pagong. It's got conflict, romance and fun all in one. S3's divided tribe just annoyed me. |
Hippyt | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 03:29 pm     I'm with Crazydog here. I think this show is the best since the first! Marammuu is funny,with a great "cast" of characters! And Rotu,while not as entertaining,have there moments too. I look forward to the "injury-fest" this week. And what's with old Paschal smoochin on everyone? I swear I saw him kiss Gabe on top of the head in the preview for this week! Unless something goes terribly wrong with this show,I don't see how MB can ever top this one. |
Fruitbat | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 03:39 pm     I'm with Crazydog and Hippyt too. |
Car54 | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 03:46 pm     Nessie, I am sort of with you.... but then I usually don't get engaged until a few people get booted... so I have hopes that about episode 5 it will grab me. |
Awareinva | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 04:32 pm     CAR!!! Glad to see ya posting!! I've missed you around here! I also haven't warmed up to any cast until later in the show- I can hardly remember anyone on S1 booted before the 5th or 6th show. Same with S2- post merge was when things really got going. The one exception is Big Tom from last time- he was my fav. from day 1!!! |
Firebird05 | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 05:05 pm     I can't decide yet. Some of the characters on S3 did jump out at you sooner. Frank and his antlers, Clarence and his beans and then there were the mallbrats. I find the Marammuu team more interesting so far. Neleh however is the onle one I have changed my initial impression about. She's alot stronger than I gave her credit for. I do think Rotu will be more interesting once they have to start voting people out. As of now they have a common enemy, Kathy. I wonder what will happen after she's gone. |
Pamy | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 06:43 pm     Car!!!!! I just posted a note for you in the car54 where are u folder.......when i saw your name it was like hearing from a long lost friend!! Welcome home!

Sabbatia | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 08:19 pm     I guess I'm different. I liked this one from the very first. The first one I didn't really get into until I was home for surgery and became a TV junkie. The second one had some interesting people, and the third one was sort of a let down for me. The Deadpool and this group were all that kept me watching that one. This one reminds me of what it was that I loved about survivor to begin with. |
Julieboo | Tuesday, March 12, 2002 - 10:23 am     I think, as with all reality shows, ya gotta give them a few weeks before you get attached or ticked or whatever... I remember with BB2, I didn't give a care until the 3rd or 4th show, and by the end of it, I couldn't miss an episode. |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, March 12, 2002 - 10:27 am     It takes me a while to get to know them. Each time, I always think the last one was better. (thinking of Ethan) |
