Survivor Thailand!

I can't wait!!!! They are on back to back here, 7 pm and 8 pm!!!! Yaaaaayyy!!!! This is going to be a great night of TV!!!

I heard one of them is a minister, and that he is trying to convert the soft porn star!

ok, so I was wrong about a few things! 1st they were on back to back so I didn't have to tape anything (I'll blame my fever I had for the past week). 2nd, while they did divide into men and women, the tribes aren't set up that way.

Anyone else agree that skateboard guy has got to go!He kept calling Shii Ann dude! They do not work well as a team and should not have won that immunity.

Oh God, I totally couldn't stand the skate board guy!! He has got to go!!

I really liked most everyone else. I didn't have an immediate favorite like last year. They all seem like decent people, I especially like the older guy, can't remember his name right now. And I liked the girl Ghandia even though she messed up the challenge. She seems like a genuine person.

Great start to a new season! Love the tribes, and the challenges so far.

Woohoo.... I won $5

Nick thought the sickly chick whould get the boot!

I called it!!

As soon as the preacher played the trick with the water, I knew
he was a gonner!

I'm going to Taco Bell!

I missed the first twenty minutes! So I missed the introductions. When I started watching, the girl of Asian descent was getting a really hard time from one of the guys. I was surprised that people were getting crabby that soon. The others seemed to agree with her.

It's a shame the team that was ahead lost, but to keep it fair for the women, the challenge couldn't be all physical. Unfortunately, Ghandia just had a terrible time with the puzzle. I'm not good at spatial tests either.

Jeanie - the Asian Girl is Shii Ann and the guy who was irritating her I call skateboard dude. That is because he calls everyone dud and was idiotic enough to bring a skateboard to an island in monsoon season.

What a crab! Hasn't he noticed that the bossy people get voted off the island the earliest? Where do you use a skateboard on a sandy island in monsoon season--up and down the waves? the trees? Maybe he's just a whole lot smarter than we are. Oh, I know! If it's wooden, they can use it on the fire! Plastic? Ohhhh....hmmmm

Ha.... I glad someone else noticed you can't use a skateboard on an ISLAND!

I only watched it during the commercials in "Friends" - I missed part of the season finale last year - and even with that small exposure, I hate the skateboard guy!! I hate pretty much that whole "strong" purple team, but I am one of those underdog fans anyway... I was pretty suprised that pastor guy was willing to risk pi**ing people off so soon with the crummy water ploy. It reminded me of junior high. I wasn't sorry to see him go. Negative vibes get you nowhere on those shows.

Regarding the skateboard dude. It is funny to see him criticizing everything going on around him. I did not notice him doing anything of substance. He could take the wheels off his skateboard and use the board to dig the latrine couldn't he?

These people totally crack me up. They are dropped in the middle of nowhere, limited food, no one is looking actively for food to stockpile up, they are slowly building a shelter and complaining about blisters! LOL The first time those rains hit, they aren't going to be able to sit in the rain, let alone stand up and look for food! No one is trying to figure out how to store water, and you have to hope that cave is above the high tide water mark. I guess they think they are club med vacation, because instead of working hard and trying to figure out the tomorrow, they go swimming and skinny dipping!

Your first line scared the crap out of me!!! I thought OH NO!!! I missed the new Friends show!!!!! But then I realized you meant it was last seasons show. I guess that means the new one is on next Thursday. I'll have to remember to tape it!

I really hate the skateboard dude too....he is such a jerk!!!!!! All he was worried about was getting on the same team as the "hot babes".

We are lucky in Canada - they play Friends 1/2 hour before the start of Survivor because they are on the same Canadian channel.

What did everyone make of the Ghandi / Ted thing last night? I think Ghandi is making a lot more out of it! He sounded very sincere when he apologized and it is very possible he is telling the truth.

That reward challenge was nast. Did you see how mean that young tribe was. The idiot skateboard player went for the older guy's throat. I mean the man was 2 times his age and 1/2 his size. The he (Robb) had the nerve to complain about the results. I really wanted him to go last night, but Jed sealed his fate by losing the fishing net.

I loved those red barret guys who helped out. They made the tribe some great things and gave them important tips on what they could and could not eat.

Looking forward to the continued trials and tribulations next week, especially in the Ghandia/Ted saga.

I thought it was comical that no one even knew how to use a fishing net. Sure you leave it out to drift with the tide and catch fish, but you tether it down! LOL The camera man found it- Mike and I were hoping that it would drift to the other tribe's camp.

That Gandi thing is way over-blown. She was the one hugging on him and stuff near the campfire, before the issue. Excuse me- but when you are married, you don't hug another guy like that, especially on when there is a camera on you! What must her husband think? And if something did happen, you keep it quiet so you don't hurt your husband's feelings when the show airs....geesh! I liked how Ted addressed the whole issue in front of everyone and cleared the air- but I bet there will be trouble down the road. Mike and I about fell off our couch when she went down the beach screaming and throwing rocks- what a loser!

Oh I know it! I couldn't believe she was throwing such a fit!!!

I actually like her up until this episode. But when she said she told them all the whole story, except the part where he apologized, I thought, well that's a pretty big part to leave out!! I thought he was sincere, too! I know if my hubby was sleeping beside another woman (which he better NOT be) I would expect him to throw his arm around them or cuddle in his sleep, thinking it was me. I truley think Ted thought it was his wife, but I could be wrong....he was asleep so I don't think anyone should judge him harshly for that!!

I'm glad Jeb went bye-bye!!! He was getting on my nerves, although not as much as Rob!!! Maybe next time it will be him getting the boot!!!!

I thought Giandi was right to confront Ted, but she either accepted the apology or she didn't. She worked herself into a frenzy over it. If she was not satisfied with what he said, she should have been up-front about it, and if it was necessary to discuss it with the group, do it! She went behind his back and never mentioned the apology. Now, if Ted was aware of what he was doing, Giandi will, nevertheless, always be the one who looked bad. I guess the cameras weren't on, or the director decided to cut that part of the tape. It probably lasted only seconds.

I agree the young group deserved to forfeit the game. They cheated! Then some of them cried about it! It's a shame skate board dude is still there, but when one of the group (Jed) decides he's above doing any work, he should expect to leave. Cooperation is key, even in TV survival!

darn, looks like I missed a good episode. One of my friends had a really bad day at work Thursday, so I took him out and got him liquored up. Were up most of the night talking. Didn't remember about Survivor until today.

I think Gandi blew the whole thing out of proportion. She really shouldn't have been hugging him to begin with. I think Ted was sincere in his appology. I guess it continues into next week, which should be interesting.

I wish the dumb bartender would get kicked off next ........ he is so air-headed!

Well, I can't say that I am sorry to see Ghandi go. She was really tempermental. When Jan was picking the teams, she really should have picked more fit people. They are getting their butts kicked in almost all of the challenges. I hope things get better for them. Even if the other team loses, they won't get rid of irritating Rob - Stephanie the firefighter will go. I can't believe she doesn't even sleep in the shelter with them. I wonder what the big suprise will be next week?

I was surprised that the swim instructor (Helen?) voted to oust Ghandi. (Yes, Ghandi made a fool of herself last week.) She believed her, and not Ted. She said she thought it was a strategically good move. I wonder what she meant. The women are outnumbered now, and this group of men wants to lie back and let the women work. They're like a group of male lions that lie around in the sun while the females work, and then expect to eat first! I like men, but this group? As long as there's one woman to do the work, I think they'll vote the others off the island.
I agree, Adrienne. I think Stephanie will be the next to go. I wonder what set her off? It's a shame, because Rob is a complete jerk!

I guess it was not much of a surprise that Stephanie was voted off, although Surfboard Dude was certainly disappointed! He certainly annoys me more that Shii Ann does. What is the name of the more mature man in that group? Darn, can't think of it. Anyway, he said she really carries her weight. I like him. I'm terrible with names, but he is rapidly becoming one of my favorites. The food auction was fun. In my opinion, the spagetti was the best buy. Hot fudge sundaes are heavenly, but spagetti is delicious and nourishing.
