Who on EARTH hears the mod say "The weather is going to get BAD!! Get your shelter built ASAP" and instead has a beach party????
The only one with any sense on the Millennial team is the one who claims he's an 80 year old in a 20 year old body-- so he's not a Millennial at heart.
Can I ask a question of all Survivor fans, since I'm a relatively recent convert? If you KNOW you're going on the show, why on earth don't you google how to build a shelter, how to make fire with bamboo??? Why are the players always so stumped with this most basic aspect of the show? It's no shock that those will be the first two jobs-- why do the players always seem so surprised that they'll need to know how to do them?
If it were me-- and that will never happen-- I would spend every minute I had between applying and boarding that plane learning how to do both things.
This is one of the great Mysteries of Survivor. I swear, people are idiots! I would never go on Survivor--I would be a quivering mass of neuroses by the end of Day One. But, I could see DH (former Eagle Scout) doing it. Why, why, why would you not practice your survival skills ahead of time? Read about the area, learn indigenous food sources, practice spearfishing, make fire, make fire, make fire?
The ones that really crack me up are the ones who get close to the end, and then they have a tie vote. In case you've never seen it (since you're new to Survivor), they break a tie vote by making the tie-ers make fire. There have been people who MAKE IT TO DAY 32, who have never made fire in camp. Ever. So, there they are at the tie-breaking fire-starting challenge, and they have no clue. I don't get it--even if "Joe" is really good at making fire in your tribe--well, don't you want to one day vote Joe out? You know, so you can be sole survivor?
And I have to say, I would have taken fishing gear over chickens, any day of the week. 4 chickens means 4 eggs a day, plus a couple chicken meals, for 10 people. Fishing gear means fish all 39 days.
