Now this is the thread for me, I love speculating what is going to happen and I hate the acme thread when it tells you who gets the boot. I find it much more fun to guess and argue about what is going to happen . It makes the discussion so much better when we don't know for sure and is so much more satisfying when you are right. I played media ••••• game last time but it was pointless because everyone seemed to have the answers before the questions were asked. I don't know if I will play this time, it is no fun if you get your points from acme and it is no fun to be on the bottom of the list.

Now I just need the willpower not to peak.

No bruhaha Ladytex, its all good

......SPOILER........

I read that the panther forms an alliance with a giant anaconda, and they pick off each Survivor as they make the trek to the jungle for restroom purposes. Jeff has to step in and comptete in the final immunity challenge, which is unfairly skewed toward humans. Jeff declares himself the winner, the snake and the cat are furious and cry foul, causing MB to make a mental note to include a clause in future contracts forbidding critters from sueing.
We find out on the post show that the Survivors were not harmed during the attacks, but were so frightened that they left post haste, and as a consolation prize, they are all given a chance to vie for the affections of the butler from Joe Millionaire, who turns out to be the one who is REALLY worth 50 million.

I have never played in one of those games where you predict the winner. do we have it on this clubhouse site or are you guys playing at other sites. i would like to give it a try. is it hard?

You have to sign up for Mediawhore, I hope that comes out right, they usually put red x's where the ••••• is so I am going to type it like this and Maybe you will get it. Mediaw.h.o.r.e. , remember there are no periods in it. Anyway sign up and join to play the game, you have to join a team, we always have one or two here. I joined Tvch2, someone starts it and you will need to get the password from them and then you are in. They are a lot of fun. They ask a bunch of question including who gets the boot and who wins immunity or the reward . Just realize that most people are picking their answers after they read spoilers like acme so if you go it on your own you will not be near the top but it is fun to see how well you do. I did it both ways and have to say that for me it was much more fun guessing on my own. To me I couldn't see the point of doing well if someone gave me the answers but to each his own.

How does this thread work?

I'm not going to look at the acme picks because I am going to meet up w/ Webbkitty and Bat tonight, so none of us will have no clue as to who will be the bootee.

It's a thread for general discussion of the show and players, but is not to include any advance info or guesses from any source (or any leaking thereof), other than your own uneducated pick out of thin air, if you want to guess at things.

Kind of like discussing any other TV show that doesn't have websites full of spoiler info.

We can also talk about Jeff's dimples. :)

I'm rooting for the women but they weren't making it easy for me last night. Just how dumb do you have to be to spend hours trying to start a fire when you have a supply of kerosene that could do it in a flash (literally)? It's not like they would have had to use much of it.

And while the eco-freak in me was torn over them chopping trees down to make a shelter, how could they have only FOUR logs ready by dark? A pack of Girl Scouts could do better than that.

I realize with the editing that it's impossible to tell how much time passed but...they just seemed so disorganized. Is this is the legacy of "no one wants to be seen as a leader" or just pure incompetence and/or laziness?

Women across the world and throughtout history have mastered all the survival skills needed on this show so there's no reason these contestants can't make a respectable showing.

And that immunity challenge! Maybe they just had really bad nerves but how could they screw up that coded message puzzle so badly? I'm asking that seriously because I thought maybe I had missed a trick or something. You spin the dial and fill in the blanks - not exactly a Mensa test.

I was also aggravated by how they treated Christy. Sure they're all in competition with each other but they're also teammates. And at this point they look like they need all the help they can get. Aside from all that, it was just rude.

I know first impressions are usually misleading on Survivor but my favorites so far are Jeanne and Joanne. They did the jigsaw puzzle, right? They saved the day for that team. I also like Heidi, Christy, and Deena (hope I got the names correct).

*Shrug* So I guess I'm the only non-spoiler here. Okay with me. Is TAR4 starting soon (I hope)?

I cannot believe the women still have not built their shelter. Christy's right - that should be their priority. Six days and they've barely got a narrow platform. It's embarrassing. Editing, shmediting...what the heck are they doing with their time? It doesn't take eight adults to manage the fire and water supply. I wonder if they were able to collect any of the rainwater. I'd rather drink that than from the river. (Boiling both, of course.)

They seem to be having trouble with the manioc too. They are either really confused or just not thinking. I'm sorry to sound so negative but it's plain frustrating. I'm glad Jeff flat out told them that it appeared they had no plan on how to organize their camp.

I don't mean to be ignoring the men, just not much to say about them yet.

The show has featured some gorgeous scenery this year. I like seeing all the animals.

I think it's a sad state of affairs that the women have not managed to organize themselves into building some sort of shelter, even if it were just individual teepees out of branches and palm fronds, at least it would keep them dry. Have these women never read a BOOK?!? Any sort of novel written in the wilderness should have given them some ideas. I think they spend their days sitting around whining and complaining about their sad state of affairs instead of pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and doing something about it.

It terribly grossed me out over the maggots in their food. Come on these are WOMEN, do they never COOK? Do they know nothing about food spoilage and storage? Those women make me ashamed to be a female.

I found this article on MSN's front page today:

Survivor: Sister Power Fails


One quote:

"Even though there has been an immunity idol in all five of the previous Survivors, Joanna is none to pleased about it and wants nothing to do with the symbol of their current protected state. At night, she goes on an on about how God has been sending them bad weather and other hardships because of the presence of the idol in their camp, all of which Christy misses since she can't read lips after the sun goes down."

Well even though I’m not too crazy about most of the individual contestants, this has so far been one of the more entertaining seasons of ‘Survivor’. I was already pretty bored with Marquesas and Thailand by this point and never cared for the Outback edition at all.

It was a dirty trick to stick Deena with the leadership role (as if she could refuse it) but at least the Jaburu site actually looks like a camp now and not a tropical trash dump.

The Reward Challenge was kinda fun and flirtatious but an absolute snore as an exciting competition. A (male) friend insisted the Immunity Challenge had to have been rigged for a women’s victory - something about the knots being tighter on the men’s side. I suppose that can’t be completely discounted but it looked like they had more trouble with cutting the rope than untying the knots. It may have been that the women’s smaller arms and fingers just made it easier for them to reach through the bars. Jaburu had already proven in the puzzle Reward Challenge that they can work very well together as a unit.
