It has been said that MB allows the Survivors to make a list of 5 potential luxury items from which he will select one.

If you were on the show, what 5 items would you pick, and why?

ok, dumb question, but does anyone remember much underarm hair on ANY girls? Seems like we discuss some VERY personal stuff (remember Lindsay's digestive issues!)
And if the razor isn't their luxury item, is it provided to make them more camera palatable?

Seems like I remember Sean brought a razor, and the girls borrowed it, but it wasn't mentioned in S2 or 3 that I can recall.

anyone? anyone?

It's called waxing!!!

If you wax then the hair will grow back slower and finer/thinner

So MB gives them wax but no food?

Car!!!! If you wax on a regular basis which I would do/and already do if going on Survivor then you will have less of a need to shave.

If I could only pick one thing to take, the hair doesn't bother me... and I would take something to make ME more comfortable... if it bothered MB to see my pits, let him give me a razor LOL... if not, then it would give the spoilers something good to talk about!!!LOL

OK Moon, your 5 items please....

I noticed something about a couple of the contestants that they SHOULD have put on their list.....hair color. How come none of these folks ever have dark roots? It's obvious that at least two of them this time color their hair.

As for my list....
I can't sleep till I have on my chapstick
a toothbrush
a pillow
my blankie
Tweezers!!!

It seems like I read somewhere that they were provided with sunscreen, but if you've ever put sunscreen on your lips, you know why the chapstick is on my list. YUCK!!

Hmmmm. I'd choose things that aren't quickly consumable (toilet paper would only last so long), or be toogross to share, since you'd probably be expected to share your item with your tribe. So, I'd probably not want to bring a toothbrush. I'd research what locals do for hygeine.

I'd chose:
Nailclippers
vaseline
chapstick

(I'd list vaseline and chapstick separate. Better chance of one of them being picked)

My last two items would be entertainment items. One would be a deck of cards, the other a common/easy board game (Scrabble would be bad, knowing Tom wasn't much of a reader. He'd probably already have a bad vibe towards me if that's what I brought).

Has anyone ever had a hairbrush, or hair restraints as their official luxury item? Lots of the gals had their hair pulled back most of the time, and nobody's hair was ever really ratty. So I doubt I'd pick a hairbrush. I would go get my hair done into french braids or something before the show though (I have thick, curly Afro-American style hair--on a white girl!).

Some of the girls did have hairy pits, you could definitely tell in the challenge Theresa won. They have knives though which would enable them to do a half-assed shaving job if they were desperate and the knives were sharp enough.

My items:
1. Swiss Army knife with as many gadgets as you can possibly buy on one
2. Camping mattress, the thin kind they sell at REI that rolls up
3. Bible and Catechism simply because it is inevitable that I would start talking theology with someone out there
4. Bug repellant
5. Hair brush

I've also considered After Bite or a similar product for soothing bug bites and games. Does anyone have a list of what people CANNOT bring? I know tobacco products, alcohol, weapons and matches are off limits but obviously stuff like tents and cell phones would be forbidden too, right?

Ok Disco, we need 4 more items!!!!!


Who, good point, I think I remember that everyone shared Gretchen's toothbrush on S1, and you could make one of those twig things.
Brandon said he was pretty popular because of his chapstick.

Whoami, if you got cornrows, you'd have to worry about getting sunburned between them. Yikes!

I would want:
Babywipes (all kinds of uses for these)
vaseline (again many uses)
gameboy (with ultra longlasting batteries)
pillow
salt ( It makes almost anything palatable)

Whoami...I think Alicia brought a brush as her lux item.

I would want to bring the following:

Tweezers...in case of ticks or a splinter, or I need to spear a fish or something.

Razor...Yes, I wax, however, contrary to popular belief, It would look like a monkey waving if I my arms up after the 2nd week. I shave lifted every day and a good waxing on bikini line only lasts me approx. 3 weeks. I don't show any thinning, it's more like a progression of a jungle.. Thank god I don't have to wax my upper lip. My hair arms are nice and light as well. I am just a freak I suppose.

Gameboy...Some people read a magazine while ummm, doing their daily business. I play Pac Man on my Pink Color Gameboy. The puzzle mode. Either that or balance my checkbook. Problem with balancing checkbook is I get all situated and forget to grabe either the pen or calculator. Too much info for ya.

Oversized Sock Monkey...Yes, I said it, and I wouldn't be afraid of dragging along Mr. Monkey for the world to see my insecurities. He doubles as a snuggle buddy and/or pillow, and he could be a cheer section for the challenges. Hey, after two weeks, we may start looking alike (refer back to second luxury item request).

Wet Charmin...They now make it where it is wet. Would have to make sure it is biodegradeable so it would be okay to dispose of properly. Just envision Game Boy in one hand, Sock Monkey under other arm, and Wet Charmin up underneath Game Boy arm walking to the latrine.

Boy, am I a fashion statement or what!

Okay...It would look like a monkey waving if I lifted my arms up after two weeks. I don't know how to edit my previous post, and obviously don't know how to proofread!

Hmmmm Gameboy.... never thought of that.

2 pairs of swimwear
long pants and shorts
1 rain jacket
fleece or sweatshirt
2 hats (sun hat and beanie)
1 bra top for women
short and long sleeved shirts
