Survivor: Nicaragua Wed, Sept 15**No Spoilers**

[Mermaid02]

I'm on a Survivor Fantasy League where you randomly get chosen who you are rooting for. Wouldn't you know it... my guy is Jimmy T!! This guy is a nut job!! Unless he's putting on an Oscar winning performance and hiding who he really is, he'll be gone shortly and my chances of winning will be done and over with. I'm really hoping someone else takes the attention off of him for a bit and he lasts a while longer.

Did anyone else wonder why the guys were already wandering around in their underwear already. Way too early for that! That and the blurring. yuck The Russell effect already.

Next week they'll probably take off their boxer briefs and start marking their territory...

I think Wendy voted for Eve The shoes must be Jimmy's, that is just wrong.

Ever since the tie dye guy, you know, what's his name?, stole the other teams shoes, there has been sneaky stuff done to whether it's been lying about family, hiding stuff, etc. I don't remember it happening before then.

Oh yeah and Wendy SHUT UP ALREADY!!!!!

I think she's STILL talking.

As soon as she started talking and the guys started rolling their eyes, I knew she was gone.

Like Tyson!

Here's Jeff's thoughts on last night's episode. It gives some insight into the immunity challenge. Also, who stands out to him.

I don't think Jimmy and Marty are "jealous" I think it's more of the "alpha male" thing than jealousy. Like Murphy Brown said, "okay fellas, whip it out and get a ruler and let's get this thing over with!"

Thanks so much for posting the actual article and not just the link! At work, we're restricted on which sites we can view, and plus it's just quicker to read Jeff's blog here in the thread.

Edited to add: I only read the DIS on break or lunch... I'm a good girl at work! LOL

 

[4greatboys]

I'm a Russell fan and Jimmy T is no Russell. The dude looks like he has a screw loose.

Two pieces of advice my dad once gave me 1) if you're pulled over by cops, don't offer any information unless asked. and 2) if you're at a tribal council on Survivor, don't offer any information unless asked. Okay, I made up the second one, but Wendy literally talked herself off the show.

Also on another point, why in God's name did Jimmy label himself as 1 of the 2 weakest players???????? LMAO are you kidding me Jimmy? There are a ton of older women on that tribe who look like the wind can blow them over. And some of those guys ain't looking real good either. Jimmy looks great for a 66? year old. C'mon Jimmy!!!!!!!

I thought that was a great strategy. He's got to know he's got a target on his back and why not try to deflect as much as possible.

I never make any judgments after the first show, so I'll give it a week, but unless they have created less challenges that are purely physical, I don't see how the older group can win many. Marty and Jimmy T and the black dude (didn't catch his name yet) look to be in pretty good shape, but you can't beat age for physical stamina.

The medallion should be kept by the older team I think. The young team had the choice to keep it or give it away. They gave it away to keep the fishing stuff. If the medallion goes back and forth, then so should the fishing stuff, right?

The best use of the medallion would be for the older team to save it for the last tribe challenge before it becomes an individual game. Then the young tribe won't get a chance..

You think Jimmy T looks in great shape? Wow I don't. I think he looks like a greased up chain smoker who sits on his couch eating pizza and drinking beer in his undies.

Martie and the black guy and Yve look pretty good shape.. they'll win some challenges.

I agree JimmyT looks like he's in worse shape than JimmyJ!

What about the hidden immunity idol? Honestly, this early in the game, I would have motored right back to that tree and taken it once the other player had left. There's no way the other person would have remembered all of the symbols. And there's the chance that they would have done the same to you. It's a different matter when alliances have been cemented, but this early in the game I wouldn't trust anyone to be looking out for my back. Just look at the lady that went home.

They didn't show who received it on the antiques team, right? Unless I missed that part too?

They didn't. Wonder why?

Jimmy T is my guy out of the hat too .

I'm not feeling warm and fuzzy about this pick either

I think the underwear guys were the ones that arrived in long pants...

it's easier than cutting pants into shorts.

I thought you could see it behind the tree mail when the whole group was reading. Don't know who ended up with it though, maybe we will find out this week.

Glad to be on this thread in the beginning, I didn't know about the H vs V until closer to the end last season.

Just some info on me, I love reading Jeff's blogs, ans well as Dalton Ross's blogs. Once the tribe become one, I get addicted tot he Ponderosa videos over on cbs.com.

I think it was smart of them not to use it, even though they lost. They barely lost. There are times when the challenge is going to be a lot more physical than directing water and it makes sense to keep their advantage until then.

The youngsters still don't have fire, right? That's going to take a toll real soon.

My kids said if those were the old guys then Bud and I would not be antiques, we would be antiquities

I think that it was smart to hang on to the medalian until next challenge. They lost this one and I think that the youngsters will think they now have it in the bag. The next challenge may be more difficult.

As soon as she started talking and the guys started rolling their eyes, I knew she was gone.

She sure was

I actually think that they are jealous. ALpha yes, but I think that they have some sour grapes about Jimmy J and if they don't get that out of their mind they are going to tear this tribe apart.

I don't like the new night for Survivor. It has caused recording conflicts on my DVR that can only tape two shows at a time. Arggg. Oh well, Survivor still gets precedence over everything else. I guess I will have to become more familiar with something like Hulu.

Do you get Time Warner? I ask, because that's what we have and can only tape 2 things at once. But Survivor is one of the ones they have On Demand, so I catch it that way sometimes.

 

[RUDisney]

The only shows I have to tape are the ones on ABC and HBO because we don't get any ABC shows on demand and HBO takes its sweet time sometimes to update an episode on demand.

I tape what I can, but Sunday night's especially are for on demand the next day.... too many good choices that night.
