Official Survivor Gabon thread

[Kycha]

Do they have something like this? Like on Big Brother when they get to the Jury House? I would love to see the jury and how they interact with each other.

Yes! The Ponderosa is like a jury house. Here is a link to some of the videos. Marcus and Charlie are hilarious together.

ETA: I just watched the latest video of Corinne going to Ponderosa. Wow! If she is as smart as she thinks she is, she wouldn't have gotten voted out. I agree with the pp who called her elitist. She really thinks she is the most intelligent person around doesn't she.

I agree with pretty much everything you said. Kenny and Crystal are beyond annoying. I liked Sugar at first but now I can't stand her. I thought it was sort of funny how Bob got mad at her after tribal council when they couldn't stop laughing. Susie...UGH. Can't stand her either.

I used to like Kenny, but he' getting all cocky because his plans are working to get rid of people. If there's one thing to remember about Survivor, don't get too confident because there just might be a blindside coming.

I have never liked Crystal, and as much as I keep watching, she has done nothing to change my opinion. Some Olympic athlete!

I kind of liked Sugar, but the way she was so mean to Randy, she really went down in my estimation. I know there are people you don't like, but you should at least keep your opinions to yourself and not embarass them on national tv. Yes, it was a great blindside to get rid of Randy, but the way Sugar and Crystal were laughing and carrying on made me sick. Like someone else posted, I'm glad Bob told her he didn't like it.

Corinne hates Sugar for whatever reason, but she's only made her nasty comments to the camera, not in front of everyone. (I do recall Corinne telling Randy how much she hated Sugar, but I don't think Corinne did it in front of anyone else.) Of course, now that the show is airing, everyone will know exactly what Corinne thought of Sugar. BUT Corinne tried to keep it bottled up during the game in front of the other Survivors. Of course, Corinne knew that this is national tv, so why she was so hateful and mean is beyond me.....

It really annoys me how basically all of the people left are from the original Fang tribe that couldn't do ANYTHING and one of them is (probably) going to win. GO BOB!!!

I so agree with you.....the only person from original Fang that I'd like to see win is maybe Sugar. She kept getting sent to Exile Island and yet she's made it pretty far. Susie, Crystal and Kenny are pretty much worthless. I'd like to see either Bob or Matty win it all, but I have a feeling they'll be the next 2 voted out.

Where is Bob getting all the stuff to make the idols? I can't imagine there are beads and stuff just hanging around.

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I saw that idol last night - where did he get the beads??

Here's what I think (hope) will happen next week:
No one will blame Bob for making a fake idol. He is doing what he needs to do to stay in the game. BUT...everyone will be po'ed at Kenny. He jumped sides! And not to save his rear, but to off Matty who he sees as a threat.
In other words, Bob acted out of necessity but Kenny acted like a traitor.

Good analysis!

I'm rooting for either Bob or Sugar. I'm also wondering where Bob is getting all the beads - I wonder if the show provides them to him?

Also, did Bob's wife tell him he smelled good?

 

[Stacerita]

Kenny should have voted for Corrine, it accomplished nothing voting for Matty. He still would have flushed out the idol.

So glad Bob won reward!

Thats what I was thinking. He could have told Corrine he was voting for Matty, but still voted for Corrine. It would have flushed out the idol if there was an idol. Kenny was showing that his gameplan isn't that solid and he doesn't really get it. Now his alliance will have doubts. And I had to laugh that he blamed Bob. Sorry, he just Outwitted you Kenny. Kenny has also gotten a bit cocky with his attitude. I don't like that.

I am so glad Corrine got hers. She was a mean and nasty lady. And she thinks she is truly better and smarter than everyone else. If that was true, she would still be there. I am so glad she is gone.

From what I read on the TWOP forums, they suspect the beads and things came from flag making materials.

And yes his wife did. lol. That's love!

Here is a current article on Bob from our local (Maine) paper.

If you get a chance check out the video link I posted earlier. It is of Bob doing "stuff" on Survivor to the tune from the show Bob the Builder. They even have a clip of Obama in there. It is short and funny.

Go Bob!!

 

[tinatark]

Susie is a skater - I can't believe she has gotten this far.

Crystal - what a joke - Olympic gold medalist?! She gives them all a bad name

Kenny - he's a worm... a video gamer - so I guess his strategy is to play this like a video game.

Sugar - I liked her at the beginning, but she really bugs me.

Matty - not sure why he is not liked, but I'm okay with him

Bob - I like him

So... of the evils... I would prefer to see Sugar, Matty and Bob in the final three.

If the three of them would work together, they could so easily get the others out of the game.

Thanks for the links!

I just watched the updated Ponderosa videos for Episode 12--Corinne's departure. She is one witchy woman--if she were my daughter, I would be thoroughly embarrassed by her behavior. She really needs to grow up.

Frankly, I do not understand how Marcus and Charlie can be so enamored of her, but they appear to think she is all that and a bag of chips. Randy and Corinne I can understand--two peas in a pod! I dread having to listen to her at the finale!

For all her talk about how wonderful she is (in her own view), she must be one miserable person on the inside. I pity the next person voted off--she is going to make their life a living nightmare.

 

[gometros]

I was surprised none of the families commented on how THIN everyone was....esp like Bob, oh and Matty and Kenny....HECK all of them!!!

Bob and his Fake Idols....

I will say the "Jury" cleans up nicely.

What I don't get is from where is he getting all those trinkets?

 

[gometros]

Why does she hate Sugar so bad? Man, those were some seething last words she had.

If you ask me, she just resents that she underestimated Sugar, that she created this image of her based on her looks and profession and refuses to admit to herself how wrong she was.

That is weird because I was just able to view it. It just came out today. Try searching for the Portland Press Herald Maine. It shows a picture of Bob on Survivor and then now with one of his students. They interviewd his co-workers etc.


This should take you to the article instead of the first page of the paper. Maybe it will work.

I can see the article but not the You Tube video.

 

[SeeDisney]

My first time chiming in this thread.

We're a big Surivor Gabon fan.

Routing for Bob, the teacher or Kenny to win. I don't want Crystal winning. My son feels sorry for Kenny for some reason and he's routing for him.

It's been a great season.

 

[amyy]

I am not sure why you can't see the video as ithe one in the link works for me.

Try going to You Tube and search for Bob the Builder Gabon. If you are a Bob fan you'll like it.

 

[Cindyluwho]

UGH!! I was just watching the Ponderosa, the last episode with Corrinne primping for Tribal council and she actually says, "Seriously, don't ever come to Africa. There is nothing redeaming about Africa." She says that because she can't get her all important blow drier to work and she wants to look good for tribal council! What a loser!

 

[just4today]

Corrine: good riddance to bad rubbish. She and Randy would be great together.

Susie: doesn't bother me or interest me. She would be great to take to the final because I don't think anybody would vote for her.

Matty: when he was proposing to his girlfriend? He's my favorite. He's played well and isn't nasty to anybody.

Bob: didn't care much for him either way until recently when he finally started playing. Now I'm rooting for him to win.

Sugar: didn't like her at first, then started to like her, now don't like her again based on how nasty she was with the Randy thing.

Crystal: ugh; please don't let her win. She's provided a few funny moments, but overall she's contributed nothing

Kenny: he doesn't think much of himself, does he? I think things may take a turn for the worse for him now

I just watched Ponderosa as well and I couldn't agree more. She really takes the cake.
