Ozzy goes to bat for Semhar and Jim finds it odd why he’s doing that so early in the game. He is suspicious that Ozzy wants to work an alliance with the girls. Well, Jim, you’ve seen those three in their underwear, tell me you wouldn’t want to “work” them over on their…er, I mean your, side!! Of course Ozzy wants to work them, but this was his fatal mistake last time out, so hopefully he isn’t trying to fall back into the same pitfalls that got him evicted the last time. Don’t trust the girls, Ozzy. Yes, work with them, but make sure you have a strong alliance with other guys, as well.
At Tribal Council, it becomes obvious to Probst that it’s between Semhar and Cochran to go home. I think Probst should have made a comment on how Cochran wanted to be called by his last name because of how great he was hoping to be at this game and yet here he is about ready to be voted out first. Come on, Probst, you’re better than that. Get on these b*tches!!
It was at Tribal Council where I learned the names of the two pretty girls. First up is my “new Cassi,” Elyse. For all those that didn’t watch Big Brother and read my recaps, you’ll need to go back and read about my fascination with this girl. Although, I have a feeling Elyse may make me forget about her. In due time. Big Brother just ended, so I won’t do Cassi like that just yet! Anyways, we also find out that the cute country singer’s name is Whitney. I’m not a blonde hair kind of guy, but she’s definitely not bad to look at. Yes, Jim, Ozzy should want to work with these girls.
But, alas, Ozzy and the rest of the tribe prove that they do not want to work with Semhar and her “mesmerizing body” (as Jim put it) and vote her off to Redemption Island, where she’ll have a chance to earn her way back into the game. I find that highly unlikely, but you never do know what the challenges will be. But, we are talking about the girl who couldn’t even pick up a coconut, so I’m guessing she’s losing that very first duel.
One thing I will mention is that I LOVE the misspelling of the names at Tribal Council. Obviously, Semhar won’t be going to Harvard with “Coachran” anytime soon. I know that names are hard to spell sometimes (hell, EVERYONE spells my last name wrong and it’s not even that hard), but where do you hear an “A” in “Cochran?” If anything, I could have seen her put a “K” instead of the “H,” but where does that silent A come from?!? Have fun building that fire at Redemption Island.
Ok, there you have it. First Survivor blog in the books. I’m looking forward to only have one recap to do each week, unlike the three episodes of Big Brother I had to follow each week. Please, please, please feel free to leave comments, send me email, whatever. I enjoy discussions and will have them with anyone, even if you hate my guts and think I’m the sickest person you’ve ever “met.” Let’s have some fun this season. Follow me on Twitter, too, where I probably won’t reveal too much, but may put up a funny quip about my life here and there.
Thanks and until next week,
Scott
Really enjoyed your Big Brother blog even though it was a season of boring hell, and am glad to see you will be recapping Survivor. The new Survivor season might be just good enough to wash the horrible taste of Big Brother out of my mouth. And, unlike BB, let’s hope they don’t vote out the Hotties at the BEGINNING of the season. BTW, you must still have BB on the brain because I noticed you used the term “evicted” when speaking of ousting someone, lol.
Love you from BB. This is the first season of Survivor I’ve watched. I wish you had commented on when Cochran (I think it was him) and a female were trying to open the coconut and Cochran said “I think it’s coming … I see some white stuff.” And then later during the tribal meeting he said “you don’t even have to rub me for me to come out” or something like that. I know those were easy ones and some people say it’s gross but I find it amusing when people like him don’t know how the things they say can be misconstrued.
hey there Scott, this is the first post I’ve had the pleasure of reading from you since I do not follow BB at all. I was wondering if you are going to be giving us some ‘spoilers’ much like Steve does?
I am going to admit that this will be my worst recap. I had to do this and the big brother finale at the same time, so I was flustered. As for missing things, I will blame that on it being the first episode and already having so much information to cover, I simply couldn’t get it all in. And, I noticed I used the term evicted when I reread it! Whoops.
As for spoilers, I will do my best to try and figure some out, but I just don’t see it happening. The finale is taped live so there is no way I can tell you the winner but maybe I can scrounge something up.
I am SO happy to see a Survivor recap on this site. I’ve watched since the very beginning and excited about reading this recap every week (one more thing to keep me entertained while at work). I think this cast is pretty interesting and one of the better first episodes this show has done. Makes me excited for the season. What do you think about the Redemption Island twist… I hope it works better than last season.
Finally… I hope that you don’t post any spoilers… This is one show I don’t want to know what happens, I love the suspense and excitment each episode.
Keep up the good work!
Chances are I won’t even come close to finding any spoilers so don’t worry.
As for Redemption Island, I like the idea but think they shouldn’t wait so long to have the person reenter.
Scott, thanks for the recap. I am so happy for a survivor recap. I totally love Jeff also. I have not watched Ozzy on suvivor and was pleasantly surprised at how Hot he is. Eye candy is always good. I thought Ozzy would vote out cochrane was glad to see he voted for Semhar. Fans of reality tv usually do a good job at predicting who will win survivor, if your looking for info. Lastly you did’nt make laugh, whats up with that??? lol
Good Job on the Recap.
I have been wondering this for awhile about Survivor maybe other people are in the know..
It’s about the clothes they wear. If they are chosing the clothes they are going to wear for the show (Scott mentioned the girl in the suit and the layering aspect) why wouldn’t they choose bathing suits/active wear? It seems like they are always wearing normal bras and underwear and not bathing suits which I would think would be more comfortable. Also, cargo pants or somethng like that would be better than jeans and suit pants I would think. Maybe they surprise them and say you have to wear that! no time to change before!
I’m not sure who I like on this new season yet. I didn’t get a great vibe from anyone yet….
I wish they would have brought back Philip. He was hilarious to watch!!
Hi Scott: Funniest part of the blog:
“Stacey the mortician completely botches her search when she searches inside a tree where the clue is and doesn’t find it. Well, we all weren’t born to be winners, Stacey, don’t worry about it. Thanks for playing. Maybe instead of using that stick, you should try and touch something here and there. You’re used to touching DEAD PEOPLE’S FACES and you’re telling me that you didn’t want to stick your hand in that tree to look for something that might get you further in the game where you could win $1 million.”
Ha! Good job!
