Fruitbat | Saturday, November 30, 2002 - 10:16 am     Never thought of that but I can see it. I am not expecting to see the gross eating challenge this time. Jeff said that the challenges are all new. Some have been familiar but to claim no repeats, the gross eating would have to go. There could be a fear factor type deal where you have to stay in a vat of creatures for a time limit. |
Magikearth | Saturday, November 30, 2002 - 07:33 pm     Sometimes I lurk at SurvivorSucks(scary place over there!)and quite a few members suggested that the food challenge could involve eating *very hot* Thai peppers.. <The winner will have "tears of joy,while the losers will have tears of pain"> Could be! I really think that if this was the food challenge,they would all do quite well! |
Twinkie | Sunday, December 01, 2002 - 04:20 pm     JP clearly says in the latest promo " did you guys bring an appetite?" This has to be a gross food challenge but I think it might also be a relative visit as well. ie= A Big Surprise-and Another |
Webkitty | Monday, December 02, 2002 - 12:46 pm     With the title of this week's episode, I am thinking that the relatives show up for the RC, and STAY for the IC. ~A big surpise and ANOTHER~ There is a spoiler that Ted's brother shows up and helps him win a challenge. I am going to say that Helen wins the RC and gets to go away somewhere with her relaive, and Ted and his brother win the IC. I'm not sure which challenge involves the spiders and scorpions, but I'm pretty sure Jake gets voted off this week. |
Hermione69 | Monday, December 02, 2002 - 12:49 pm     There has been some speculation that the family members may actually be the ones who have to do the gross food challenge. That could be the "another" surprise as well. |
Tabbyking | Monday, December 02, 2002 - 01:54 pm     webkitty, my daughter also thinks family members have to let scorpions and or spiders crawl on them. not sure where she got that from, but she mentioned it last night. did you see the 'fear factor' episode where they had to put their heads inside a glass case and let 50 (or, was it 100?) tarantulas crawl over them? i am terrified of all but daddy longlegs--which i have heard are terribly poisonous, but their mouths are too small to bite us-- i can spot a spider the size of a toast crumb from 50 feet! shudder..... |
Brenda1966 | Monday, December 02, 2002 - 02:13 pm     LOL Tabby! That's a myth about Daddy Longlegs. But I agree about spiders. I can spot one a mile away scurring around. ICK! Last year I had an infestation of these tiny white spiders, the size of a pin head. They would bite me when they got on me. I was up until midnight cleaning my dining room trying to find where they were coming from. I was so grossed out. There's no way I could let anything creepy crawly on me. I'll probably have to close my eyes if that's what the reward challenge is. |
Tabbyking | Monday, December 02, 2002 - 02:52 pm     shhh, brenda! it makes me feel brave to think i can actually stay in the same room with a 'ferociously venomous spider'. telling everyone i have nothing to be afraid of makes my bravery laughable ;>) LOL also, technically, i guess daddy longlegs aren't even in the arachnid family, but to tabby--if it looks like a spider, has a big round center, and has 8 legs---well it's either "goddessatlaw on a lazy susan with male triplets, or it's a spider!" hee hee |
Webkitty | Monday, December 02, 2002 - 03:23 pm     Daddy Longlegs are the only spiders that creep me out! lol! I would take a spider over a snake any day. Even a scorpian. When my husband was in the ARmy, he was stationed in Panama, and they had to go out into the jungle and crawl around on their stomachs. He said some of the guys freaked out at the huge spiders and snakes, but he didn't mind it, right. Yick. Tabby, your daughter may be right about them having to let the spiders crawl on them. I'm just wondering what Jeff meant when he asked if they brought their appetites with them. Maybe he meant if they win, they get a big feast, that would make sense. Right? I had to stop watching Fear Factor. The gross food eating was just too much and forget the snakes! |
Tabbyking | Monday, December 02, 2002 - 03:47 pm     well, i certainly hope they don't have to EAT spiders or scorpions! now, i could 'drink a scorpion', if only i could remember what went in that beverage! |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 04:17 am     I agree about the Fear Factor style of challenge. I dislike bus in general, especially chunky ones. My son lives in New Mexico and he has spiders the size of meatballs. |
Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 06:29 am     Thanks you guys! I have MAJOR arachnophobia, and for some reason decided to read all the way through this topic and now have the chilly-willies running all up and down my spine... It's actually not that bad, but I'm a HUGE baby when it comes to spiders... Eick!!! |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 06:53 am     Thats my girl! Very sensible from where I sit. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 07:33 am     Bat.. I like that description.. "chunky ones". I think of "spiders with bones" and those definitely freak me out. But I do enjoy watching an orb spider spin a huge web as long as said web is not in my path and not inside. I kind of enjoy watching the daddy longlegs in my kitchen.. down by the baseboards. I like to take ants and drop them into the webs and watch the daddies get all excited. One day I was "feeding" a spider and my cat walked up and went "chomp" and that was the end of the spider I certainly hope they don't have to eat anything living and it doesn't seem fair to make the family members do something creepy like that. Not that life is fair. |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 07:53 am     I think that the castaways will do the challenge. They signed up for this. The family memembers only offer insentive. That is my guess. If I cannot hear an audible crunch when I step on a bug I am OK. Squishing sounds are not even something I would want to consider. There are spiders with bones?????  |
Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 08:05 am     EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW DjGirl goes screaming from the room |
Tabbyking | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 08:16 am     we had spiders in the santa cruz mountains that were a huge type of wolf spider. they weren't hairy like the tarantula, but they were big and dark shiny brown. you would go to hit one and it would be 18 inches away. they 'jumped'. one was so big that when i stepped on it, legs stuck out on both sides of my shoe. gross. i sleep on my side with my mouth closed. i think i read somewhere that the average person eats 8 spiders in their lifetime. Dj? get up off the floor now, girl! do you know that i laughed all the way through 'arachnaphobia' looking at my family's and friends' faces and shudders and squeals, because i think life is really like that! i always check my shoes, look under a lamp before i reach in to turn it on, etc., so it didn't scare me at all. LOL |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 08:36 am     ..........bat scratchs the Santa Cruz Mountains from her vacation list.......... |
Catfat | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 09:24 am     "There have been no dragons in my life, only small spiders and stepping in gum. I could have coped with the dragons." Don't know where I heard this, but thought I'd throw it in. |
Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 10:25 am     YYYYUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!! Thankfully, we only have the generic daddy longlegs, and these really creepy white, almost translucent fat spiders that are about the size of a quarter including the legs... those are the ones that stick out in my brain... <chilly-willies going insane up my spine> I was fine with spiders until I was about 10 and I fell asleep on my dock at the cottage and woke up to find a HUMONGOUS dock spider (looks like a tarantula, but not as hairy) crawling up my leg... I don't know how I didn't have a heart attack, but now.... EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! BTW mom, I'm with you... Santa Cruz Mountains - NOT IN MY LIFETIME!!!! |
Whoami | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 10:47 am     Ok, eating lunch here.....I think I better come back to this thread later. spiders.....eewwwwww! |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 12:48 pm     Not really bones, bat, but big enough that their legs look like they have bones.. I think you should also scratch parts of Australia.. they have some gigantic wolf spiders there. Tabby.. different thread but I'm a big Tabitha King fan!! Love her books and that she put her foot down with Stephen re his drugs (according to him) |
Tabbyking | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 01:04 pm     yeah, tabitha king rocks!! |
Brenda1966 | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 01:32 pm     My DD's name is Tabitha, but not after King, after Bewitched. I don't think I could live anywhere that the spiders regularly get bigger than a quarter. I won't camp unless it's in a camper. Did anyone see Harry Potter yet? The spider scene had me itching and creeped out for a long time. I wouldn't survive a day on Survivor. Sleep on the ground with the bugs?! Never! |
Twinkie | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 04:44 pm     Brenda, I'm with you! My idea of roughing it is a Holiday Inn! LOL |
