Am I all by myself? I have been checking the list several times a day (well, I don't have a life) and no one is posting. Have you all left with Cmore? I feel so all alone.

I guess all the discussion has already been done and everyone feels comfortable with their picks for tonight!

I have to leave work in about 5 minutes, but I'll be back online around 6:30 or 7:00. See you soon!

I'm here! I've just been peeking in while at work and taking enough time to make my picks. Haven't had time today for much else and my computer at home crashed

Herm, I'm not too comfortable with my picks. I've been lucky so far. So much going on and so much speculation it makes my head spin!

I'm not happy with my pickd for the Realiiity game, but that's mainly cause I didn't get to see last weeks show. I taped it and ended up taping Bush's speech- didn't even get to see a few minutes! Hmph! I'm just going on what you guys said in other threads...

Plus overall there didn't seem to be a whole lot of discussion this week.

Do you think this is an indication of survivor becoming boring or does this generally happen around this time in most Survivor shows? I've watched all Survivors, but can't remember. Or maybe because we all distracted by the war stuff? Or by other reality shows (none of which can hold a candle to Survivor)? Or bacause we can't yet find anyone to root for? Maybe I just need to give it some more time.

I don't think it is boring. I think in my case,
it seems like there is a lot of re-posting of info from the spoiler sites, and I don't really have a lot of time right now to do my own research is all, so I am just not around as much.

I still really enjoy the show itself.
I never really get into it deep until the merge tho...it is all exposition til then.

I'm back... getting ready to post something in the spoiler thread though.

Catfat, I'm not sure how I am feeling about Survivor right now. Square made a comment earlier about Joanna being typecast and I'm starting to feel like that is definitely going on. The formula is getting a little tired to me. I wasn't even planning on watching this season until I heard about Christy. That said, I am nevertheless enjoying this season more than I thought I would and it is not just because of Christy. I like most of these people better than I did the cast of S5. That is important to me. There were not many people I liked on S5. I like a lot of the S6 cast right now and am even enjoying the villains more than I did the villains of S5. :)

I haven't been around for ages but didn't want to clean house (ugh) so popped in here to see what was going on. Well, I think there is so little discussion because it's just not fun playing Sherlock anymore. The first season I lived over at SS but midway through S2 it got boring (even though I was in 9th place!) because of all the filthy mouthed 14 year olds over there and MB wasn't playing fair anymore. A little fudging of the F4 or similar is fine to shake people up but MB apparently got tired of playing with the on-line folks. Then there was Africa which many would like to forget. Last year was a good season, but by then there were too many boards and not enough true spoiling. Plus, the contestants are beginning to blend into each other. This group just isn't as compelling as last year's, not to mention the Boob Alliance's mothers need to come for a family visit.

I think the problem is that Survivor is only one once a week. Even with BB we had more posts because it was on more and seemed as if more was happening ( or we just needed to "vent" more about what we saw happening).

I hate waiting a whole week each time to find out what is going on. Maybe they should consider twice a week. Hmmmm....anyone else have any thoughts on this.

Anxiously awaiting the spoilers as I am a West Coast gal. Thanks you guys for all your hard work. I'd never make it through dinner without the info. Patience has never been one of my virtues.

Well, after years of watching television....the only thing I watch now is Survivor, Big Brother, or a video I pop into the VCR (haven't bought a DVD yet). I get around friends and family, and all I talk about is Newcomer's Club and the Survivor show. I've even got family members into it now. My hubby even screens my calls on Thursday nights, "She's busy at the moment. Can I have her call you back?"......so I definitely say SURVIVOR IS NOT BORING!!!

i thought there was as much discussion as the previous weeks. i guess im wrong. i still like survivor, still watch, still read the spoiler thread. but just don't comment here too much anymore. right now dh is doing an online job app and i hope to be finished before the show. and i hope to be able to get into my mirc during the show too.

I do think Survivor has become a bit stale. I haven't bothered watching the finales of the past two editions and the only thing that coaxed me into watching the Amazon was the men vs women gimmick. But the teams have been portrayed so stereotypically that it's no longer compelling. And now that the show is no longer a novelty, it's even more important to have charismatic, interesting contestants but no one has really captured my attention. Plus I hated the IC from last week but eh, what do you expect from a vegetarian?

I also think the emphasis on spoilers has taken away some of fun.

I think, so far at least, this season has been better than the last one, possibly the last two. The men vs women idea has really made it fun for me, even though neither team has many endearing members individually. If when they merge the bigger team picks off the smaller team AGAIN I'll probably stop watching, but for now, it's been surprisingly watchable.

Roll on Amazing Race, that's what I say .

OK, I was just kidding about the show being boring. This is the only show I watch these days. Oh, and Will and Grace.
I said those mean things about Survivor because I just wanted to get some conversation going to kill the time waiting for the show.
I agree this is one of the best seasons so far. I still like #1 the best.

For me, this one comes in 3rd place after #1 & #2... This one is just as compelling as they were, although the typecasting is getting a little stale. I really like the dynamics of this show, and find it rather intriguing... I tried so hard not to look at the spoilers because I read them all last season and was completely bored because I knew what was going to happen each week. I haven't read the boards each Thursday so that I don't know who the other boards have picked as the next off, and that's made it more interesting for me...

I'm still loving it, and I think this is a pretty good season. I think discussion is highest at the start of the show when we are trying to figure out the people, who we like, etc and toward the end of the season. The middle seems to taper off a bit. As good as this season is personality wise, there hasn't been a whole lot of drama either. The biggest discussion topic so far seems to be the "pretty girls" and how obnoxious Heidi is- and before that it was how Christy will manage. I think with this weeks twist and Heidi's betrayal it may get more dramatic.

and i did like africa! i liked t-bird, and tom's feather in his crack! i loved watching simpering brandon and tattooed lex for the drama stuff, but i didn't like either of them...
i know a lot of people didn't like that series, but i enjoyed it. i think the water situation was awful, but other than that, i liked it a lot.
this series now seems to have too many 20-somethings that haven't matured yet or know what's really important in life. i absolutely roared when i saw deena roll her eyes as shawna made a miraculous full recovery upon the mere first hint of testosterone advancing toward camp!
as soon as i saw her perk up, i knew she wasn't going....even if her tribe lost immunity. too many guys liking her. and when things were said at the IC about things looking good and liking to be merged with women (or something like that, i forget exactly what it was), you could see shawna going "that's me!"
it was a stereotypical cartoon moment to watch her complete transformation from wimp to goddess. i am ready for the princess to go now!!

Tabby, I found myself smiling at work today, recalling that very moment. What a miraculous recovery, LOL!! A cartoon moment is a great description. I feel bad because I think Deena deserves to go far but am afraid the guys will vote her off first because she isn't young and cute.
