Once again, nothing significant occurred when the tribe returned after Tribal, so we open on the morning of Day 25. What could have happened, considering the numbers being so uneven? And just when you’d think the players could take a moment to breathe over last night’s vote, Rodney is holding court with the S4 alliance and discussing what to do next. And that is to take out Mike. The trouble with this plan is that Mike is overhearing the whole conversation from his own version of the Spy Shack…in the broad daylight on the other side of a bush. I guess players are getting a little too comfortable in their “private seaside conference rooms” to bother with making sure they’re not being spied upon. With this revelation, Mike now realizes Rodney has flipped on his Blue Collar roots and is now persona non grata in the M7, or at least, the Blue Collar Triad.
IMHO, since the Triad is down a player, I think this would be the perfect time to enlist 2 other players (IDK, Jenn and Shirin seem available?) because then they could keep the numbers advantage (5 to 4), and still maintain the voting edge over Jenn/Shirin (3 to 2) if they can run the table and wipe out the S4. A lot needs to happen for that to occur, but let’s see if this is as clear to Mike as it is to me right now.
But before we can get into any real confrontations or situations, let’s head on over to “Trader Jeff’s” for some grocery shopping! You brought your coupons, right? Standard Survivor auction rules apply – no need to mention them again – so let the bidding begin!
Jeff pulls out the first item (stop it, ladies, I know what you’re thinking…) which has a cover on it (stop it, queens, I know what YOU’RE thinking too!) and opens the bidding. Immediately, Jenn, Shirin, and Will all begin calling out amounts, which immediately tells us they have no idea how to play this game. All of YOU know (and I’m so proud of you!) that you never bid on the early items because you want to save your money for the “mystery advantage” item, of which there’s always one. And sure, you could be smart like Spencer and hold out for the item and then have to draw rocks and come up empty, but you gotta play to win, not play to eat this late in the game…
But, being hungry can be a huge motivating factor too, and that seems to be speaking loudest to Will. He outbids the girls and Jeff reveals his “prize.” A scroll. Hmmm, that’s interesting, I wonder if it’s good news? Nope, Will can eat a bowl of dicks cuz he just got booted from the auction. We’ll see you back at camp, homey…
And sure enough, just as Will is almost out of earshot, Jeff reveals the next item is friend chicken and waffles, and you know THAT item had Will’s name written all over it. Because if you don’t what Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles is, you ain’t never been to Los Angeles. Too bad, Will, why don’t you go make your own fried chicken out of Jenn’s last “friend.”
“$300!” yells Shirin, and that’s because you know that booty has gotten the attention of many a black man in the LA area. Hell, she might even have a Roscoe’s discount card! One more Herb’s Special and she gets to twerk in the kitchen!
Since no one else cares to bid, Jeff slams down the gavel on Shirin’s $300. And as she picks up her order, she announces she “didn’t want to save all her money for an advantage,” which compels Jeff to ask if anyone else is going to forego the early bidding to wait for the advantage. Mike, Dan, Sierra, and Carolyn all raise their hands. Jeff quickly brings out the next few items, and we see:
Jenn buy a pail of alcohol…
Sierra changes her mind and buys some shish kabob…
Rodney buys a big ass steak, mashed potatoes(?), and a big glass of red…
Jeff tells them the “advantage” item is coming up, but first offers them something else: a big plate of scrolls – messages from everyone’s loved ones! Shirin instantly plays Survivor historian and informs everyone,
“In the past, once the highest bid has been established, Jeff let everyone buy theirs for the same amount,” to which Jeff seems to nod in agreement.
With the emotion evident on Dan’s face more than anyone’s, Sierra bids $20, wins it, and sits back down. Carolyn then petitions to have everyone buy their message for $20, and then all the players with $480 can then bid on the advantage and take their chances. Everyone seems to agree with this plan and makes their way up to the table, 2 things occur to me:
1. Tyler hasn’t bid on anything (we’ve seen) nor did he say he wanted the advantage.
2. Mike is curiously hesitating and allowing everyone else to go ahead of him.
And as Jeff hands over the penultimate scroll to Dan – who is incredibly emotional after revealing he loves his wife and missed his anniversary to be on the show – Mike appears to be considering blowing off the “pact” and keeping his $500 to buy the advantage outright. Clearly, Mike either doesn’t give a s**t about any jury votes he may be canceling, or he has nobody back home he gives a s**t to hear from. Maybe he thinks it’s from his student loan officer, or the good folks at Capital One who never seem to get the picture… But I digress…
As Dan grabs his scroll and blows his nose in Jeff’s shirt, both he and Mike move to sit down, as if nobody was going to notice Mike’s betrayal. Immediately, the game is afoot as everyone now realizes Mike is a liar…or just another contestant on Survivor!
“Wow,” Jeff remonstrates. (Hey, you’re not supposed to take sides!)
Roll the main title!
As the reality sinks in that Mike didn’t purchase his message, Carolyn and Dan mostly, speak up about how sh**ty that is. Carolyn even attempts to give her scroll back because she hasn’t opened it yet. Dan makes a comment about “trust” since Mike JUST MENTIONED “you can trust me” when he persuaded Dan to buy his first. And as Carolyn marches back up to Jeff, who must be thinking – “Oh s**t, what do I do now?” – Mike relents and pretends his conscience got the better of him and “he can’t do it.”
No, Mike, what got the better of you is realizing how pissed off everyone is – including the BC Triad – and now you’re back-peddling and making up the cockamamie excuse “that’s not who I am.” You know what, Mike, that is who you are, and if you’re going to make that ballsy a move, than own it! Because now you just seem like a pu**y who can’t stand up to the backlash. (And right there, Kinb, is why I don’t like Mike. Bite me! )
As Jeff reveals the last item – the advantage – Dan, Carolyn and Mike bid their $480. And once again, what did Tyler bid on? I think it’s kind of odd they didn’t show him bidding on anything. Is he THAT much of a bore you couldn’t show 2 seconds of him bidding? But as the three players head up to Jeff’s table, you can clearly see Shirin, Rodney and Jenn still scarfing down on their spoils, but Tyler is empty-handed. Hmmm, something’s fishy about that… I just did some research on Survivor Wiki and read that players are allowed to keep any unspent money, so I guess Tyler just wanted to forego all bidding and buy one new tire for his BMW…? Or maybe he just thought there’d be something really good at end? Whatevs…
Dan, Carolyn and Mike do in fact have to draw stones, and to my chagrin, Dan chooses the white stone and wins the advantage. And as the auction ends, Dan confesses he wanted Mike to buy his scroll first, but when he insisted Dan went first and then chose to play dirty,
“(Mike) might’ve just lost my trust.”
Back at camp, Will is about to arrive when he notices a clue that’s been left for him. It’s a scroll with a map indicating something is buried down the beach from the camp. As he attempts to locate the “X” he breathes a sigh of relief that he might have actually gotten something out of the auction and confesses,
“…it’s shocking the game can change in your favor, just like that.”
So, “Jenn’s friend” is spared, and Will is off on a treasure hunt. He nears the area the map indicates to “dig,” and thankfully the show made it easy for him and placed a stake in the ground where the treasure is. He starts digging and finds a chest buried in the ground and stocked with enough rations to keep him well fed for the rest of the game. I wonder if he’s going to keep this secret or reveal it to the tribe, or just some of the tribe? Well, there’s goes all notions of Will playing a sneaky game as he instantly chooses to bring it all back to the tribe. Nice gesture, let’s see how it’s received at Camp Dysfunction. Sorry, Camp “ysfunction”…
As the players file in (a straight line, natch. Why?) I just realized why Will is going to start a fight with Shirin,
He’s going to find out she got the fried chicken and waffles!
Ok, maybe not, but it looks like there’s a brouhaha on the horizon. First though, Will welcomes everyone back and shows them the stash of rations he found and tells everyone he’s sharing it with them. Even with Dan protesting that Will should keep them for himself, he says, no, that’s what he wants to do. He starts going around and asking the others what they bought at the auction, and while this is going on, Mike whispers to Sierra that Rodney flipped and that’s why he wanted to buy the advantage. Truth is, he realizes he screwed up big time, and this is his opportunity to make it right.
As Jeff says, “everyone’s perception is their own reality,” so Mike can justify his actions six ways to Sunday that he did the right thing. We know he didn’t, and his immediate task will be to get his alliance to believe his explanation. Since Dan appeared to be the one most upset by his chicanery, Mike knows he has to speak with him.
He pulls Dan aside and says he’s about to “turn this tribe upside down” and reveal Rodney’s flip, which is exactly what he does, setting Rodney off as we saw in last week’s tease. And with what appears to be the straight-forwardest (is that a word?) description of what he overheard behind the bush, Mike points out the four members in the S4 alliance and tells them that’s why he did what he did at the auction. Rodney is livid as he A) doesn’t like being called out, and B) is claiming he wants everyone to enjoy their letters from home and can’t believe Mike would ruin this moment. Yeah, I’m sure that’s exactly why Rodney’s upset, but let him have his moment, the poor baby…
When tensions calm a bit, they read their letters, which is always a salve the players need at this point in the game. To see the joy on everyone’s faces, Mike realizes this is another thing he’s blown with his terrible gameplay. Just because you’re a fan, and just because you’ve “seen every episode,” and just because you want to win, doesn’t mean that every choice you make is the right one. Mike eventually apologizes for ruining the moment, but the damage is done. Let’s hope he pays for his stupidity…
Rodney realizes he can take advantage of Mike’s faux pas and heads over to Dan. He’s having an emotional moment by the shore with his letter, so Rodney joins him and tries to disparage Mike’s entire day. Dan seems down with everything Rodney’s saying, but he also knows that if Mike is right, than he and Sierra may be in a world of trouble.
After Rodney leaves, Dan finally reads what the advantage is: a second vote at Tribal! And now that we know he doesn’t have to use it at the next Tribal, I want to know how long it’s good for? Until top 5? They never seem to reveal that. He likens it to “getting a golden ticket” to the Wonka factory, but to me, the golden ticket was getting on Survivor, Dan. Winning this advantage is just like pushing Augustus Gloop in the chocolate river. One less person to deal with…
And now we’ve reached the comic relief portion of the episode, and when I say “comic relief,” I really mean, let’s watch someone get verbally assaulted by a f**king piece of s**t “YouTube Sensation,” who I hope is getting dressed down by his incredibly embarrassed and disappointed wife and the thousands of “fans” who made him a YouTube Sensation. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
Backtracking a tad, Mike is lazing about with Jenn and suggests that there must have been more items that Will got in his stash. “He just brought back the items he doesn’t like” is how Jenn describes it. They share this information with Shirin, who’s obviously going to agree with them, considering they’re her only alliance. When some of the others hear their theory, they go to Will – who’s obviously angry and offended – compelling him to show Rodney and Sierra the half buried chest in the ground. So, carrying the empty chest back to camp, Will is fuming that his charitable act is being called out, and since Shirin is the only one of the three at camp, she’s going to get the brunt of it.
This is the other fight we saw last week, and believe me, it was never intimated how disrespectful and personal Will’s attack is. While the issue should be the Shirin/Mike/Jenn accusation, Will turns it into a personal attack the likes I’ve never seen on Survivor. The only thing I can recall that’s even close to this is the crap that Colton and Alicia were heaping on Christina Cha in One World, and the trash Colton gave to Bill. But this is completely different. This is outright bullying…
Talking about how everyone else “has people at home who care about them and she has nothing” has no place on this show, or on TV, or in any intelligent conversation. I don’t care if it’s a reality show or not. The fact she didn’t get up and slap him in the face is either an indication of her self restraint, fear, or just desire to make this go away. When Mike returns to camp to save her, he does what he can to let Will know how inappropriate he’s behaving, but it seems Will is dead set on how justified he is. Shirin reveals she comes from a home where domestic violence was present, so Will’s incredibly inappropriate attack strikes her even deeper.
I’m going to riff for a moment, because this is starting to get under my skin. Regardless of the accusations Mike/Jenn/Shirin made against Will – most of which originated from Mike, it seems, and is honestly part of the game – the way that Will handled it was nothing short of ghetto. Sorry to use that word – or am I sorry? – but that kind of response has no business on this show. To attack someone that personally is taking things way too far, as I mentioned earlier, it’s pure and simple bullying. And I hope Will is burning in hell for what he said. You can get pissed off at what others accuse you of, but to cut someone so deeply is a sign that you are one inconsiderate, uncouth, unaware motherf**king POS. And from this moment forward, you will always be labeled “POS” in my columns. You disgust me, you f**king untalented POS. Everyone has already been dissing you for your gameplay (it’s not just me) and you’ve just put the last nail
in your coffin. Perhaps you’ll learn from your mistake, but I am not one to forgive. I hope your life turns south from this moment on…
And despite all of POS’s ranting, the other thing that bothered me so much is not one person was standing up for Shirin – as a human being – and telling POS to shut his f**king mouth. Not Carolyn or Sierra, as women, not Dan or Tyler, as husbands, not Rodney, as a…oh f**k it, Rodney probably loved it. But as a human being, when someone is getting that besieged, how do you just sit by and watch it happen? Coincidentally, I was watching a video of Probst from 2011 where he answered a question about why there isn’t more violence on the show. His answer is what many of us already know, that if you hit someone, you go home and give up your winnings.
Now, I know everyone needs the extra cash – hell, Tyler needed the $480! – so I understand why no one hit the POS, but couldn’t anyone stand up to him and tell him to shut his f**king mouth? Here’s my point. There seems to be a lot of “big personalities” on reality shows, people willing to open their mouths to make big statements, and Survivor is no exception – hell, look at all the s**t Dan said this season – except when people see another person getting attacked and refuse to come to her defense because they think it’ll benefit them. It’s disgusting. I hate to admit it, but Mike just earned a few points with me by standing up to the POS. And a pox on the others for being afraid to speak up, or think he was right, or simply didn’t want to get involved. Man up, next time, folks…
Okay, now that that’s over, let’s get back to the show… And holy crap, I’m 6 pages in and we’re only halfway through!
Not boring, but as Fish mentioned ( I am paraphrasing) not Survivor worthy.
Just who did Shirin piss off on the Survivor production crew? Made to look bad so many weeks, but when she get a sympathetic cut, it is only by airing the family’s dirty laundry. Why didn’t Survivor go full out After School Special and post a 1-800 number to call if you are or know a domestic violence victim?
My fat fingers keep messing up, so I am going to do multiple posts, instead of one long one that disappears just before completion.
At the 27 minute mark, Jenn is wearing a gray bikini bottom. Is it the red one turned inside out? Only a front view, so not sure if dropey.
She purchased a huge glass of alcohol! Have there been any previous auctions that had that up for bid? I sort of remember a bottle of beer, but it may have been paired with some food.
Why does Jenn hate Carolyn? We are missing out on some vital information.
What the heck was the point of the map given to Will? If it is that obvious just give him the box.
Does Mike possess super powers! He is able to hear a conversation undetected from four people on the beach. How far away was he? He was able to somehow track Tyler and Joe undetected despite climbing a tree. He was able to converse with one of the worst cops in the US, about tanking a challenge, without being heard. Producer manipulation?
Why did Mike and Shirin vote for Jenn?
Why was such a big spoiler shown in the previews of next week’s episode? Well maybe it has no bearing, so just another producer fake.
I am sorry for echoing you Fish, but I want to watch Survivor, not some “Reality TV” trash. Don’t sink to the level of Road Rules, Real World, etc.
But now to call out someone myself. Has Carolyn done anything noteworthy this season? She must have done something for Jenn to hate her, but we have not been shown that.
Ugh. Will is such a disgusting human being. He went from being someone I honestly did not give two craps about to being one of my top 5 most hated played of Survivor in the span of a few minutes. That crap was low and disgusting. I get it, they questioned you, you present the box and obviously put egg on their face, going into how you feel nobody loves Shirin (admittedly someone I didn’t care one way or the other about until last night) was just disgusting.
It was heartbreaking to watch/listen to things Will was saying to Shirin. I’m not a very religious person, I go to church every time my mother-in-law is in town, but I think what really bothers me is Will using religion to justify his actions. Such as, when he said, “God don’t like ugly and I’m exposing the ugly.” Umm…I pretty sure that isn’t how it is supposed to work. Big props to Shirin for raising her hand, Will didn’t deserve anything from her, especially kindness.
Um, did I realize deserve a “bite me” shout out? Just bc I like Mike? Not sure I should be flattered or insulted Will!, I mean Bryan… I really hate “bite me.” 🙁
Moving on…. I have a question for you. If you were a “POS”(and I am a bit miffed at you right now so….), what would you have done with the food box? I almost think that now in Survivor, its better to just hide stuff and keep it to yourself bc if you share, nobody believes you are sharing it all. Of course, you risk being caught too (Julie and her boobs last season) so Its a no win. Or I guess maybe take all of them with you to see it after you open it? I’d enjoying hearing what you’d do. Hey, ask Coach that too maybe. What would he have done? 2nd question. As of right now, who would you like to win? (You have to pick from those left of course) 3)As much as I understand Shirin not wanting Will to get the letter from home, I think it was probably a bad game move. She would have looked like the bigger person that way and I think he would have looked like more of a turd getting the letter after how he acted. Have you watched any of his you-tube videos? Thats all for now. I’m going to take my hurt feelings and go pout.
doc – Love that you break up your comments! I get .17 per comments, so I’m eating out tonight! (I’m kidding, I don’t get squat).
-Agreed, this ep. was not boring, it was just unpleasant. I think I prefer boring…
-Not sure about Shirin and her cut. I’m just wondering if she decided to just lay low and let the big guns get taken out, and somehow end up in Final Tribal. It may not be a million, but it’s a big check. She HAS to realize she can’t win, right…? And it’s strange how AFTER this episode, she’s suddenly tweeting about domestic violence. TBH, I don’t know if she’s been supporting those causes previously, but let’s just say it WOULD BE crappy if she suddenly became an advocate.
-I see the gray bottoms. I guess those are just her chones…?
-And yeah, that is a PAIL of booze! I know there’s been some rewards where players won/bought a bucket a beer (don’t ask me when) but she just got shitty on that item. And this raises another point. I tweeted yesterday that Jenn’s Ponderosa video showed that she only lost .2 lbs in 25 days. That’s incredible. Plus…she’s vegetarian, so she wasn’t eating any chicken or meat at all. Even with that pail of booze filling her tummy, she must have peed that out before her weigh-in. Any possibility she’s pregnant? Let’s watch out for that. I’m sure contestants wouldn’t want to put their body through so much if they’re preggo, but how could she not lose weight in 25 days! It’s crazy…
-I’ve only seen videos where Jenn says she hates everyone, including Carolyn, for being so fake. Who knows?
-POS probably couldn’t find it so they had to put the stake in the ground…
-I think there’s a lot that goes on that are set up by production, and the players are told not to spill the beans…or else. IDK, he could have just been on the other side of a thick bush and overheard.
-I think Jenn said in her Ponderosa video she didn’t wanna go through tribal and have a 3-3-3 split (her, Shirin, Carolyn) and then have a revote and have them send Shirin home. I believe she mentioned Shirin really wanted to keep playing and she was done so she just told them to vote for her as well…
-if you’re talking about the Tyler thing than I think they just need to show him more. He does nothing! I just watched the Survivors Discuss the Auction, and there wasn’t even a Tyler video posted. I think he may bring nothing to this season…except the win…?
-It may be possible that many of the people who make this show are veterans of other reality shows — the shitty kind — and are bringing that shitty reality show mentality to Survivor. I’m not interested in researching everyone’s resume right now, but maybe that’s happening. I just hate the direction this is going. Russell was conniving, but it was still Survivor. He may have been a misogynist and a male chauvinist, but he tended to that in confessionals.
Thanks, doc!!!
thatguy- You already know I agree 100% with you! Thanks for venting.
susie- As always, I’m with you. I’m atheist, but I agree that it’s shitty when a so-called religious person uses their god for “the wrong reasons” (is religion a Mike Fleiss invention?). Seriously, when religion is used like that, I hate you even more because I know that religion should be a good thing to those who “do it right.” Thanks Susie…
kinb- I saved the best for last. You know I love you, right? “I could never quit you…” Remember, I’m just her to poke fun and have a good time. I only rip the people on the show, or the show, but never my readers. Especially you, Kate! Plus, I added the little smiley emoji, so that allows me to say whatever and pass it off as a joke (I thought you knew that…). We good now……………………?
-Good question about “the box.” I think, sitting here in my living room with a drink in my hand and the ability to consider all angles, that depending on my standing in the game, I would do 1 of 2 things.
1. If I’m in a good place, I would go find the treasure and keep it to myself or the one other person I’m most solid with… I always hate it when someone finds an idol and then instantly HAS to tell someone.
2. If I’m unsure about my standing, I would hold off on doing anything and wait for the others to return. That way, you can’t be accused of doing anything sly, and you get brownie points for sharing. Only problem with this is since you don’t know what the gift is, you don’t know what you’re sharing with everyone. Maybe you only share it will the M7 since they’re you’re alliance. Hard to say…but yes, Julie’s boobs… (thanks for that!) And yeah, I’ll ask Coach and see what he says.
-From who’s left, I guess either Tyler, Mike or Sierra. Here’s my reason for each.
Tyler – even though he’s been a total zero, I think that approach may work this season because everyone else is so disgusting. If he goes to the end, he could almost win by default since no one wants to vote for any of those others f**kers.
Mike – as much as I’ve ripped on him, he seems to be the only one “playing” the game. True, he’s also made total blunders, but that’s just a statement on his intelligence. I can at least appreciate he’s tried to play. I’m just so tired of that stupid voice…
Sierra – I mentioned a couple weeks ago she’s creeping up the ladder for me. The fact she’s able to play both sides, and be involved in many conversations (even if it’s just listening) is a great way to collect info. I’m liking her more and more every week. Plus, she’s not disliked by anyone, which is a huge plus come jury time. I think it may even come down to her and Tyler.
-Yeah, I think it was another example of why Shirin won’t win, because that was purely in response to his tirade. TBH, I have no problem with her decision, but it won’t win her any jury votes.
-Never seen any of his YouTube videos other than the gas station singing thing. I’m really not interested now. I hate the phrase “YouTube Sensation.”
-Don’t pout! XOXO
Fish
I never had gone to the CBS site to look at videos, so thanks Fish for mentioning Ponderosa so I went and gained some more perspective.
Now I just need to learn how to Tweet, my kids will not teach me!
Joe lost 17-18 lbs, so how does Jenn only lose 2! I would think that being prego would disqualify one and a pee test would happen right before the plane trip, just like women have to pee before any medical procedure.If prego she could still lose weight without proper nutrition. So here are my two hypothesis on why no weight loss.
1) Yes prego, so given extra food. She mentioned living in a cave by herself on the extra video ( Thanks survivor from hiding that fact on the regular broadcast) So production stashed food in her cave.
2) Being a vegan, perhaps she adapted to the food that is at camp. (we are not hearing the usual I am staving comments this year)
Not sure on the relationship status of everyone, could there be a menage-a-no-collar going on at the Ponderosa?
On a tangent,I am watching Fast Times at Ridgemont High on IFC ( so commercial, but no cuts) The pool scene is my all-time favorite!
I doubt (hope?) that the Survivor production crew would let a pregnant woman on the show. Seems like way too big a risk. I’d lean more towards the fact of her being a vegan means she found tons of grass/plants/fruits to eat. She seems to be very strongly committed to that lifestyle, so I wouldn’t be surprised to find out she knows all about what you can and can’t eat as far as random green plants are concerned 😛
I’m disappointed right now with what the final four is starting to look like.
Rodney, Will, Tyler and Carolyn?! Bleh.
Tyler has flown completely under the radar, doing nothing. I couldn’t vote for him if I were on the Jury (To be fair, we also don’t see EVERYTHING, we see three days condensed into ~45 minutes).
Carolyn found the hidden immunity idol, but other than that, her gameplay has mostly been “under the radar” and the occasional flip. Would that be enough to win my vote? Probably not.
Will? I could give a short novel on the reasons I wouldn’t vote for Will. What was her name from season one? The truck driver chick? Said something about not willing to pee on Richard Hatch if he were on fire or something like that? Yea, that, plus me and Will. I would bring popcorn and watch.
Which leaves me with… Rodney… Who’s admittedly tried to play the game… poorly… But if he were to surround himself with any of those other three, I’d have to pick between voting for someone who appears to be playing the game, but is a total dick, or vote for someone who rode coat tails but isn’t as big a dick.
Which is hard… (the whom to vote for, not the other, get your mind out of the gutter). I mean, I believe firmly that Russel may have not been very well liked, but he played one of the BEST games of Survivor aside from the personal feelings part. Bleh. May have to seriously consider not watching the finale if it’s between any of those people. I’d rather that idiot Dan win over them.
doc: Thanks for the comment!
The Ponderosa videos offer a lot because it gives us some insight of what players were thinking BEFORE they voted, or just other revelations about why things went down like they did. Since everyone’s out of the game, no need to lie anymore…
But you still get to see some drama, as there have been times when people come back and are shunned. That happened to Kass, and it was awesome to watch. There may have been more, but it’s getting harder and harder to remember…
Twitter is definitely not for everyone. I didn’t do it until I began recapping (cuz you HAVE to) but I’ve been on Facebook for years. TBH, that’s where I go to see stuff my friends are posting, and I think Twitter is more about posting things for yourself and then hoping someone interacts with it. It’s like walking into a giant stadium where everyone is shouting at the top of there lungs and you’re struggling to have someone hear what you have to say…
RE: Jenn, I tend to agree with “thatguy” (thanks for the comment!) and believe you’re not permitted to be on the show while pregnant. Now, I don’t know if that means Production has everyone pee on a stick and see if 2 lines show up, or maybe they just ask the ladies and if they all say “No” and then sign the contract, the show is off the hook. Who knows? I would think being vegan may help with adapting to eating certain natural foods, but I’m wondering if Jenn is just a “fat skinny” girl. Or another possibility is that she’s just a lazy person, who did nothing all day. I’m seriously stumped, and tweeting her directly didn’t help. These are the questions we want to know so where are the pointed questions from all these post show interviews. Makes me think there’s some shenanigans about and she told them not to ask. IDK…
Wouldn’t it be great to find out about some dirt at Ponderosa? That’s what Survivor needs is some sexy trysts to keep us perverts watching.
Oh yeah, Phoebe Cates! Judge Reinhold wasn’t the only one beating…his way to the the library to study…
I totally agree with your thoughts on the final four. No one is truly deserving — from a three-pronged review of each player — but as they always say, someone’s gotta win. Out of those 4, I would pick Tyler, just because I don’t hate him. However, no one this season seems to be playing a flawless game. THE BEST CAST EVER…!
Nice dick joke… 😉
And the fact that Russell played 2/3 of the best game ever, but totally blew the other 1/3 makes me not like him. To think he could win with that approach is just stupid. Which is why the whole, “I’m gonna act like a dick and people will take me to the end,” is such a travesty. That’s why there shouldn’t be any graduated payouts to players. It’s either win and get a million, or not win and get $15,000 (or whatever…) because they’re all part of the cast. Otherwise, some players (like Kass) could only be playing for 2nd place, or top 4, etc because they know they’ll take home more than if they went out 10th. So players start acting the fool knowing they’ll be dragged along. I think that’s something the show should consider…
However, I won’t hold my breath. The show doesn’t seem to do anything that comes “from the outside” other than the stupid Tyler Perry idol. Way to kiss ass, Survivor…
Keep writing in! I love it…
