I can't remember exactly what was said at tribal council, but I got the distinct feeling they were eyeballing each other to see which one would be the tastiest. What ARE they eating, anyway? Except for that little bitty fish, have they found anything at all? How can people go into this situation without even a smattering of ability of finding food in the wilderness?
Like Robb said, "I thought they would bring us a big ol' turkey." Are we going to see our first ever death by starvation on Survivor? At least they are not just laying around in the dirt like they did in Africa; they are laying around on the beach. Harharhar.

LOL When our family watched tonight and Jed said they would eat shellfish for a few weeks and then said it was every man for himself - somebody made a canabalism joke too.

Catfat, I've screamed the same thing at my TV every season in the early episodes: "Don't you people check out a few library books on basic survival skills when you find out you're going to be on "Survivor?"

I thought all Survivors were given a crash course in survival skills before starting the competition. If that didn't happen this time, it should have. Those Sook Jai Survivors are pathetic!

Sia,
I'm concentrating really hard right now, and I just can not envision Robb walking up the stairs on the front steps on any library on any day to look for a book of any kind. lol

I can envision Robb skateboarding past the front of the library building (in traffic in the middle of the street.)

These folks take the take to make a creative video which gets them picked for Survivor, but they do not take the time to read a few pages. Not even the entire book, just a page or two. Just look at the pictures in the margins even for crying out loud. Just ask a friend. Something.

I'm sure he would be distasteful, but I would like them to friassee Rob first please...

Would it not have been at least worth the effort for a couple of them - after learning that the fishing net was missing - to hop in the canoe and at least try and look for it. Unless they were using a telephoto lense, it didn't appear that the thing was that far out? - or are they so weakened at this point that they don't have the physical energy to do it? And speaking of that, why not use the canoe to go out a little farther and fish.
If I were a fish (and have been called worse, by the way), I don't think I would be swimming in the surf -where these people are casting their net,- with the danger of being beached by the surf -I'd spend my time a little further out. These people don't even seem to take the time to try and reason these things out.

They have no leadership on their team. They need Michael from Survivor II, they need Hunter, they need Lex, somebody who can take control. No, they've got idiot Robb and Jake who doesn't seem to be a great leader. I'm just as happy to see them picked off one by one.

Jake is laying low -- he figured out when they were building the shelter - that if he was in charge - he was gone -- Let someone else be the bad guy (Robb!)

LOL Sia. My husband and I were talking about the same thing during the show last night. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE ON SURVIVOR, FOR GOD'S SAKE, BRUSH UP ON YOUR SURVIVAL SKILLS BEFORE YOU GO!!!

If the fishing net is gone, can't they rig up a line and a pole? Even Opie can do that.

I was waiting (and hoping) for the fishing net to wash up on the beach at the other camp. Wouldn't that be a kick?

Robb-filet? Robb-on-a-stick? Robb-fricasee? He definitely would feed them for a while...and he SAID he was trying to make himself useful any way he could!

I think Jake is just enjoying living with all the young hardbodies. He is a big disappointment.

I will laugh when they send Rob to the other tribe...he didn't like the old folks tribe..

You have all said the other things I was shouting at my husband during Survivor on Thursday: I wanted to see those lazy-bones get into their canoe and LOOK for their net. (Isn't it deliciously EVIL of the camera crew to NOT tell them where the net was? ROTFL!!) And then I wanted to see the other tribe find the net and very happily put it to use!

Realtvfan, you gave me the best laugh with the image you gave me of Robb skateboarding past the library. He's got to go, uh-huh.

You might want to refer to an archived thread in which we discussed the Donner Party. There are instances of people having to eat human flesh in order to stay alive, but it ain't pretty when it happens!

My favorite scene was seeing the old tribe munching on every leaf and plant in sight after the red berets showed them, then the shot moves over to Sook Jai and they are starving surrounded by the same plants! Eating a big old salad every day would do them wonders. They are going hungry in the middle of a feast.

Without food the brain cells go dead and that tribe didn't have many to begin with.

So, Robb was starving when he got to the island? Just one question....have they tried to find any food other than playing with the net and walking the beach?

Could MB possibly have asked Jeff to sway the game to favor the older-members' tribe? They really needed to win the help of the Red Berets in order to improve their chances of survival on the island. I was afraid that young brat-pack would pick them off one by one.

If MB did anything to sway the win in favour of the older team, then kudos to him. Not sure if it was needed, though. The red team won handily at both competitions, especially with Ted's strength and with the combined puzzle solving ability of the rest of the team together.

Catfat, I loved it that Probst seemed to be going hard on the "younger" tribe! They seemed to get penalized for every move they made, though--and rightly so. They were rather aggressive and tossed the other folks into the water without checking their footing first. I think Jed mentioned that the attack zone would have been more clearly defined if it had been raised up a step or something, but that might have proven dangerous if the step had sharp edges. I'm quite happy with the Immunity Challenge win/loss, but wish Robb had been booted instead of sweet little Jed. *Sigh*, he could be my dentist if he would like. . .

In the big food chain of life, Sook Jai is small potatoes (errr, tiny fish). Jed obviously had to go since he's been lazy and lost the big net, not that they knew how to use it anyway! They did win fishing line & hooks and have a small net but I guess they'd rather live with mouthy Robb and let lazy Jed go now, the net loss was as good an excuse as any. That team is so clueless about finding food and obsessed with playing hardbody. Did they think Survivor would be like Club Med? I can only think Robb's luxury item skateboard could be useful to thump a small animal or a team mate over the head with when things get dire!
