Oh! If they trade members I hope Ethan doesn't get stuck with Silas or Lindsey! I really like him (can you tell?? :tounge2: )That would make sense though, to keep things interesting. Otherwise, like airprincess said, Frank and Theresa don't stand a chance.ooo hurry up Thursday! I can't wait! I'd like to see Silas in a group with Tom, he'd get an attitude adjustment real quick. I can't see Tom putting up with his 'Strength and Honor" fake crap.

i have a hiding place
i've been watching this since it started, and i have to say, i am with the Boran tribe,
as opposed to the Sambura tribe, those guys are creepy.

they are prejudicial, ageist freaks - they cant get their act together and they seem to have no understanding of 'unity' -
perhaps too big a word for them.

i like the Boran tribe, especially Ethan, i'm with you, Melissa

They are in Africa for pete's sake and all they complain about is no food. They could be digging for grubs and laying snare traps for rodents but instead they sleep till noon??? Makes no sense to me

They aren't allowed to even trap rodents as they are on a game preserve. They only food they are allowed is what they orriginall got or what the win in challenges. Appartently Date palm fruit too.

I so agree with you AP!

I would like to kick Brandon in the teeth

And I also agree with you on this...

You are SOOOOOOOOOO right!!!!!!!

That little snipe Lyndsey will get what is coming to her, sooner or later....

This show has gotten me so P.O.'d lately!

And Melissa....

Your comment about fillet of Silas with Lyndsey sauce was great! :LOL:

Ok - here's the skinny from the Canadian newspaper "the Toronto Sun"

Survivor is just trying to survive

Show in ratings trouble
By BILL BRIOUX, TORONTO SUN

WARNING: The following Survivor column may contain spoilers. In fact, prolonged exposure to Survivor itself may cause dizzy spells, nausea, double vision, hives, loss of memory, internal bleeding, dry, itchy scalp and vomiting.

If you tuned in to Survivor: Africa last week, here's what you were promised about this week's fifth instalment:
"A Survivor first! Every friendship and every alliance will be shattered. The Survivors thought they knew the game, but the game is about to change ... forever! Don't miss the first 15 minutes of the all-new Survivor: Africa! (tonight at 8 p.m. on Global and CBS).
Here's the other Survivor first: For the first time since this reality show launched, last week's episode fell out of the U.S. Top 10 in the ratings. It landed in a tie for 17th spot, behind all those World Series games and the Emmy awards.
Is executive producer Mark Burnett and CBS about to change the rules in mid-show just to hype the ratings? Well, no, impossible. Burnett shot this last July and August, so he couldn't have known that the intense level of curiosity about a lot of these reality shows would have dropped significantly in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.
And nobody could have predicted that, for some inexplicable reason, there would be a resurgence in interest in NBC's Friends. That's sure to grow in a couple of weeks with the not-so-surprise appearance of Jennifer Aniston's movie star hubby, Brad Pitt.
However, TV is all about diminishing returns. Attacks aside, CBS probably guessed that a new twist was needed, right around sweeps, to keep this franchise at least competitive.
So what is that twist? The New York Post reports that the show will break apart the two existing tribes -- Samburu and Boran -- and, for the first time, create a third team to spice up the competition. With 12 players remaining, that would leave three four-member teams.
SLEEPY-HEADED SLACKERS
That would throw those sleepy-headed slackers from the Ritchie Samburu tribe a cruel curve. Silas, the twentysomethings' evil ring leader, was already counting that million bucks after tossing two moms and dads from his tribe so far. Busting up his cozy little alliance would be a godsend to hard worker Frank, Silas' tribal elder who cursed out his departed teammate Carl for "leaving me with a bunch of misfits."
Not busting up the tribes means viewers can pretty much predict exactly who gets canned each week through the middle rounds, despite Burnett's best efforts to create drama in the editing. Take out the element of surprise and this series is toast.
There could be other scenarios for tonight's big tease. According to the experts at Survivor-Central.com, the original Swiss model for this show, Operation Robinson, plucked one member from each opposing team and traded them. So who would you trade? Silas for Lex and a jug of water? Tom for Brandon and a bag of Doritos? There's also the possibility that the tribes could be scrambled completely, thus disrupting all alliances and friendships as promised in the preview.
Whatever the outcome, somebody will get tossed tonight. My guess: Either Silas or that drippy crybaby Lindsey. Why else would Burnett go
to this much trouble?

This gives some interesting food for thought before the show tonight!

My cable has been out all day!!!
What a terrible thing to have happen on a Thursday!!
Unlike those of you with "real" computers; when my TV is out so is my internet with Web-TV!!
I have had no outlet all day!!! I actually had to do Housework!
I called the cable company every hour for updates . . . . . . .I told them it had better be BACK ON IN TIME FOR SURVIVOR!! How sick/sad is that? A 53 yr. old woman whining to a cable company about a reality show. . . . . . . (Chill Out, TLK; it is back on now)

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was AWESOME!!!! :laughing:
I really wasn't sure at first who would go, Clarence (I think that is is name) or Silas....and poor Lyndsey.....
NOT!!!!!!!
She is the next one to go if Sambora loses the tribal council contest.

But they have me wondering now, what is going on, because of the last statement, something along the lines of..." You all assume that in 3 days, the tribes will merge, but you may be assuming wrong" or something like that.

I don't trust Clarence. (or whatever his name is)
I hope the 3 good people from the original Boran kick some @ss over there in Samburo (sp?) I didn't care for Kim in the first episode, but now, I have gained a whole new respect for her.....especially when she is sticking up and sideing with her original tribe members from Boran.

I hope Lyndsey is the next out.....just looking at her makes me want to puke. Because she is so 2 faced, and self rightious!!!

Darlene, I am glad you got your cable working before the show!!!!!!!!!
When I watch it, I think, "Oh my God, I wonder what Colby and Darlene are thinking about this!!!"

Yay! I am so glad Silas got the boot!
That was absolutely hilarious of what Clarence said! I like Clarence.
Talk about a way to begin the show with their first "challenge!" I never would've expected them to take 3 from each side & swap! Now, I don't know who to route for. I don't like the original people from Samburu.....It really should be interesting when they merge as 1!
