Survivor - Guatemala

[skiwee1]

Well I think Bobby Jon was rolling his eyes on purpose. I don't think he couldn't control it. He was actually speaking when his eyes rolled all the way back the one time, I don't believe it for a minute. Then later he said he thought he was going to have a seizure. Yea, sure. He has always been a weakling. I hope they ditch him next round.

I thought it was Margaret who said that about the siezure and I would think too she would know if he was faking. Besides, what would he gain? That would put him more at risk for getting voted off if they thought he was so sick.

I didn't catch Margeret saying it but I did hear Bobby Jon say he thought he might have almost has a seizure. I think if everyone thought he might be that bad off to have a seizure then it would be more of an excuse then just whimping out. The guy couldn't handle the last show. Between puking, seizing, and leg cramps, he has to go soon! LOL!

Bobby Jon's a weakling?????? He busted his butt last season! He might be weak in the brain department, but definitely not in the brawn department.

Does anyone have a website for the rules of Survivor? I tried to search, but couldn't find it. I would think that since this show falls under a "game show" heading though, that the producers would not be able to help out or bring in IV's for one team unless they offered them to the other. That would be an unfair advantage. Like a previous poster said, the other team may have paced themselves better to prevent that from happening.

I am almost positive that they have never had medics on the show except when Michael fell in the fire and he had to leave the show. I don't remember EVER seeing them, and there have been lots of injuries from cuts, twisted ankles, pulled muscles, stings, stepping on things, etc. Everyone has had to tough it out.

I think he's a weakling. He and Steph tended to blame their whole team last season yet took no responsiblity for themselves. Woe is me. I don't think he has brains nor brawn. No looks either if you ask me! LOL~ He fell rather quickly last night. I don't think he'll last. Hopefully I'm right.

I disagree on the medic thing--in the past, people have had bandages and stuff for rashes, things like that. They just don't show the medics on TV, except when Mike was arilifted out. But I doubt they would give one team IVs for fluids and not the other team. They only showed a few minutes, really, between them throwing up and the challenge--it may have been longer, and they may have gotten enough water on board to recover.

I'm surprised that so many of you liked Bobby Jon. I think he was pathetic. My wife and I both HATED him last season. He screwed up in pretty much every immunity challenge and his stupidity was one of the main reasons his team kept losing. Stephanie, on the other hand, was really good in most of the challenges and was just unlucky to be on that team. Maybe she did blame her team too much, but IMO, she had good reason. We were rooting really hard for Steph last season and were really glad to see her back. I don't know how long she'll last though since she's a big threat to everyone.

We don't watch much TV in general, but we've had so much fun watching Survivor as a family the last couple of seasons. Every thursday, we let the kids stay up and we all watch it together and root for our favorite team.

Anyone notice Jamie on Yaxha (Stephs ) tribe held back when they won immunity? I was surprised. I went onto CBS, and they have a photo of it.

He is one of the twins. Keep wondering if the twin thing is anything.

Why on earth would he do that? Last season Bobby Jon was by far the hardest worker on either tribe and as Jeff said, one of the hardest workers ever to play the game. Just because his and Steph's team had bad luck doesn't mean they didn't each give 110% on each challenge. And I agree with the other poster who said what would he gain by faking it? He wouldn't have agreed to go back on again if he wasn't going to play the game.

I agree- that was not a fake eye roll-I've seen people about to code and he was definately about to lose it-I too feel that medical help was provided-I think they had to, and in many other season they just never show the assistance provided during the show-but those guys looked really bad, and really needed help!!!!

I thought last nights show was well done. I like Bobbi John and Steph and I am very interested in seeing this show through.

Personally, I could never go to Guatemala - too many crocs and leopards.

I too am surprised so many go crazy over Bobby Jon. We couldn't stand him and thought he was such a baby on last season. Pathetic is putting it nicely! LOL! We didn't like Steph either and were really disappointed they are both back again. Both just grated on our every last nerve! LOL!

To each his/her own, I guess.

I suspect you are correct. This was a summary of Survivor Live:

"I wanted to know if the doctor gave the men of Nakum IV fluids to help them over their dehydration as they did for players in Africa. Jenna said they aren't allowed to talk about that on the show but inferred that it happened. Later, Jim mentioned something about IV's in a joke but they moved on quickly.

Jim said that he knew he was going. Margaret told the others that his arm wouldn't heal and he wouldn't be able to handle the challenges. That sealed his fate. He said, "I knew I was toast." Margaret said, "He cost us this challenge." They all agreed to vote for him. Since he couldn't vote for himself or abstain, they drew corn (7 light, one dark) to see who Jim would vote for. Margaret drew the dark corn, so she got his vote. It wasn't personal.

Jim said there was not really any strategizing. They spent their time trying to survive. He said Bobby Jon was very helpful making their shelter and worked hard.

He said Judd gave him unboiled/unfiltered water that Jim sucked down, then Judd said, "Uh oh, I think I messed up giving you that." This contributed to Jim's vomiting and feeling sick.

Jim said he didn't want to injure himself further. He didn't want to be a detriment to the tribe. It sounds like he was ready to go. His arm is still bad, even with therapy. A ligament was torn."

eidted to add: The "I" in the post was not me. I copied it from another site.

Which picture are you talking about? What number is it?

After that (I almost missed it) they did a family thing. It was a little video message from a family member of one of the cast members, but only we saw it, not the Survivors. It was Jim's wife wishing him luck and saying she couldn't wait to hug him again or something. I wonder if they will do that every week for the person who is voted out?

It is a nice addition to see family members and their messages about their "survivor". Many of the "survivors" share stories about their love ones at home. Now we will be able to match a face to a name.

16, it was a lot clearer on my Tivo, but it shows how he is just not enthused

 

[Teay]

After watching last night, I think all the hype will be right on the money: this will be the most difficult Survivor yet!

 

[Laurajean1014]

Jaime was not impressed that Steph was on his tribe. He took her presence as a threat to winning the $$$$. He may have a strategic dark side.
