What has happened to all the lively posting from last season? There are still lots of nice people here but it seems lots more have been lost. Does anyone know what has happened? Where has everyone gone to, and can I join in? I'm willing to emmigrate.

I think the posters are all waiting for something out of the ordinary to happen. It seems like no one person is standing out as the favorite or most hated character. Nothing too contraversal has happened to date.

For me, I learned before Survivor: Pearl Islands that the show is soooooooo much more fun to just enjoy rather than dissect everything and know what happens in advance. That is certainly wonderful for those who like that, but I don't. Someone last night commented that they knew Rob C went before the show aired so the whole episode was just kinda boring to watch. That is exactly why I avoid knowing anything beforehand, and now I can't relate to that sentiment. I had absolutely NO CLUE if it would be Rob C or Alicia. I am enjoying Survivor more now than before! Anyway, I suspect there are many others who are doing the same thing, which means there is just less quantity of posting from us. The posts will come in the days after about the episode. And as Jagger said...what exciting thing has happened? Not much, really. Just my two cents.

I'm still looking for the magic balance for me, and I think I am getting close. After going off the deep end for a few survivors I've gone completely the other way for the last few seasons. I try not to think about it too much, and definitely don't want any spoilage. Last year, I might have posted in this section about three times, but that was too little. I like the TVCH aspect as well, so this year, I am limiting myself to the nightly threads, and so far they give just the right amount of discussion for me. Ideally, I'd like to spend the show in chat, everyone is so wonderful in there, but then I find I get so distracted that I'm not really enjoying either the show or the chat. So far, I find watching the show without distractions, then following the show night thread for a few days is a good mix.

Spygirl - That's exactly what happened for me last night! I knew going into last night's ep that RobC was leaving, so I was actually looking at the clock wondering if the show was going to be over soon... After last night, however, I don't know the rest, so I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season!!! I'm avoiding spoilers like the plague!

I'm so glad you're posting discussions and questions so I have something to respond to- there's so little going on today and the weather is crappy out and I'm bored.

That was me who knew ahead of time. Yeah, it can spoil the show - but I get sooo much out of reading sucks and wondering about all that stuff that it is definately worth it. For me, enjoying Survivor is much more about enjoying the web than just the 40+ minutes that get aired week. Reading sucks is definately worth it, even when the bootee is well spoiled. I guess everyone needs to decide for themselves. However, if you go to sucks, expect to be spoiled, even in their 'no spoiling' areas.

I agree with Gina. I like the added tidbits I get from other postings, and sometimes knowing certain things ahead of time, I see subtle things during the show I wouldn't have otherwise. I like knowing some...but I would stay away from a thread that indicated it knew the winners. That I would want to wait for. But that's just my personal choice, and while I miss my fellow posters, I certainly can understand their staying away.

It's still too early in the season and there isn't enough game talk going on, strategy etc. The Apprentice thread is lively! Also, the Bachelorette and Obnoxious Finance are close to the end, Avg. Joe is also. Celebrity Mole just ended. Survivor discussion will pick up.

I think one of the reasons it is hard to get any real conversations going is because there are three teams. With a one hour show and two challenges per show, it is virtually impossible to show any of the backstabbing or maneouvering going on. I think once there is a merge, things will pick up. I will add though that Rupert once again is claiming that he is the only one doing the work, providing the food ya de ya de ya da. I think he is playing the game very badly this time around and it is another case of someone believing his own press. The producers of the last show loved him, told him how popular he was and I think his head got a little full.

While reading the last night's show thread, the same thing occurred to me about the 3 teams. I think things will pick up later too.

Happymom and Jagger I agree with you both. It is too early in the season. The gauntlet hasn't been thrown down between two really strong competitors. We're still at the trash talking stage. Of course there's all kinds of speculation as to what type of twist next week is going to bring. A lot of people are hoping for the return of Johnny Fairplay.

I think alot of us aren't posting because we come out here & see someone else has already posted what we think. So far, there are not alot of differences of opinions. The contestants aren't scheming to the level I would expect (at least from what they're showing). I want more action!
