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

[AlienBrain]

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.

Oh, no, I have Knology. Thanks, though. I will see if I can get it on demand though.

 

[chabs]

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.

I don't either. I have Hell's Kitchen, Survivor and America's Next Top Model all on at 8. We have Time Warner too, so we can only watch/tape 2 at a time. You should check Youtube though-I've been watching ANTM. Somebody usually tapes and posts the shows by the next day.

OK- I Just turned on survivor and I hear the one guy saying "I want to take as many minorities to the end as I can"....ok--- so if we had a white guy on there saying "I want to take as many white guys to the end" people would be screaming racism etc.... so the guy that said that is the next guy I want to see voted out!!

I think you might have to wait for the girl he was aligning with first, I think her name is Nay. She has got to go

Isn't this the first time that someone has played the race card in Survivor? I know that they divided teams once by race but it was an experiment.

 

[PixieDust32]

OMG! No one told me that it would be a drama TC, I forgot my

What's wrong with these young people, their egos are all they have in their heads. Shannon did it to himself again! and Nay or whatever her name is, she needs to go NOW! Can't stand her and Shannon and that gay comment.... shame

 

[Robinrs]

The young crowd really showed their immaturity tonight, what a bunch of jerks.

Glad Shannon left, he's an ***.

Naonka is shooting herself in the foot with her mouth.

Brenda's the only one playing the game from what I see.

I'd rather watch the old guys, even with the crazy woman who threw away the shoes!!

The show would never air that if it happened.

 

[happygirl]

I'm glad that Shannon is gone. I hope next it will be Nanko is that her name. That girl has some anger issues

Who let all of the loonies out of the asylum?

I loved when dim bulb Fabio came off looking like Gandhi compared to all the other idiots on his tribe.

I didn't like Shannon from his first comment about women, so his homophobe attitude didn't really surprise me. Good riddance.

I didn't have a problem with the guy (Sash?) wanting to make a minority alliance. It's just like someone wanting to make an all-girl or all-boy alliance.

An all white alliance would be racist because white America is the majority race and therefore dominant culture - so it would be exclusive. While a minority alliance is more of a bonding thing. Does that make any sense? Like, you could have an Blonde Alliance of only white people and not necessarily be racist because you all have the bonding agent of being blonde, but if being white is the only criteria then it is racist.

 

[4greatboys]

Wow some of these people are really off their rockers. I never understand trying to get rid of the strongest players right away. That Nay girl is getting old quick. I would have tossed her butt down and taken my socks back.
Fabio seemed one of the only ones that head his head together in tribal.

As for Espada they need to get rid of that crazy woman first chance they get.

Nah, I just can't see having it both ways. When it comes to race, it's just not right for one kind of alliance to be okay and not the other IMO. Comparing an alliance formed by hair color versus one formed by race is like comparing apples to oranges.

Nay is totally out of line. If someone had deliberately taken her sock, we would have seen it so we know that she misplaced it somewhere. And then to try and justify her "stealing" Fabio's extra socks. She is such a drama queen and will just cause ******* in the tribe.

And to think that she is teaching America's youth.

Survivor Nicaragua "Loco edition" haha. Watching tribal council was like watching some of those crazy realities on the soup.

I totally agree!

 

[travelbug24]

One word for TC - WOW!

I am speechless regarding Shannon's remarks.

 

[Daddy_of_Princesses]

List of crazies

Holly - Have you ever heard of Escargot? Snails can be eaten. Then she steals a Dans shoes fills them with sand and sinks them in the water. Then to prove she is all out bonkers, she goes and tells the tribe what she did. This women is definitely cuckoo for coco-puffs.

Dan - Not only did he spend $1,600 on a pair of shoes which obviously makes him certifiably nuts, he brings them along to play survivor. Hello McFly!

NaOnka - Goes nuts on poor Jud/Fabio after she took his socks. Then out of nowhere blasts him at Tribal. Maybe something happened that they didn't show us, but from the evidence I have seen this ladies driveway doesn't go all the way out to the street.

Finally Shannon. Uh, hey doofus, there are gay people in New York, but not all of them are gay. Jeff asked a simple opening question, and you somehow lost your mind and went on all kinds of tangents.

 

[Daddy_of_Princesses]

Jeff Probst's blog.

I have to start by saying… “Thank You!”

You guys are the greatest and most loyal audience a show could ever hope to have on its side!

After dominating Thursday night at 8pm for nearly 10 years, Survivor moved to Wednesday night. This was a big move. What would happen? Would our audience stay with us or would this be the beginning of the end?

Well, not only was Survivor the #1 show of the night in all the key demos, holllla…!… but our ratings actually went up from a year ago. That just does-not-happen in television these days.

It’s all because of you. You stayed with us. You changed your viewing habits. Whatever you were watching on Wednesday nights, you’re not anymore.

So.. once again, we say thank you.

Okay now onto the episode.

Hellllllo crazy woman #2! You thought Wendy was a little wacky, hang on, cause here comes Holly!

It’s only day 4 or 5 and already she is losing her mind. Let me preface all of this by saying that I actually really enjoy Holly. I think she’s a good person and she just had a very rough first few days, but man she was going bonkers.

As is so often the case, we didn’t have enough time to show you all the different ways that Holly was losing her mind, but I don’t think you need to see much more than her taking somebody’s expensive dress shoes, filling them with sand and tossing them in the ocean… for what appeared to be no good reason.

On second thought – what’s crazier? Sinking a pair of $1600 alligator shoes in the ocean… or paying $1600 for a pair of shoes?! Dan… sixteen hundred dollars? Really? For a pair of shoes? Alligator, no less? All of it just feels very wrong. Maybe Holly did you a favor sinking those things. Then again you’ve probably already replaced them and plan on wearing them at the live show in December!

Note to Jimmy T: – the reason nobody is asking you what you think is because you’re always telling everybody what you think. God gave you ears for a reason – try listening for a change. Man. I have a lot of patience but I will be honest, I’d be hard pressed not to vote out Jimmy T – regardless if he was in my alliance, if he had six idols, even if his uncle was Les Moonves, my boss. Okay, maybe I’d put up with him if indeed his uncle was Les Moonves. But I’d want proof first. Otherwise – el gonzo.

Hey Marty, don’t start patting yourself on the back. You’re not out of the Probst doghouse either. Granted, you are much more controlled, much more subdued and a far better listener than Jimmy T. But your determination to get rid of Jimmy Johnson is irrational. It’s envy. Pure envy, brotha. You know I’m speaking the truth. You should rethink it… the man can lead. He’s calm.

Did you see the way he talked Holly back into the game. He was very comforting and he did it without judgment. That’s leadership. He understands that people have ups and downs. No big deal. He knows the key is to simply get your head back in the game and everything will be okay.

Marty and Jimmy T – I’m gonna say it again – ease up on Jimmy J. There’s a time and a place for everything but don’t vote him out based on spite. You two should give “The New Earth” a read.

While we’re at it – Naonka, there’s still plenty of room in this doghouse, so come on in and plop it. I’ll even give you a bone to chew on since you’ve been yapping like a dog these first two episodes.

Naonka: (On Kelly Bruno and her artificial leg)
“If we have to race and that leg falls off… she’s outta here.”

And with that line, Naonka moves to the front of the line for “America’s Favorite Survivor.” Touching.

Naonka, did you see Kelly B work her way through that mud and the hay? You may wanna think twice about challenging her to a race! Personally, that was all I needed to see. Kelly’s leg is absolutely no disadvantage. The girl can move.

Naonka: “I don’t want anybody to think that I’m a B-I-T-C-H.”

Hmm… uh.. trying to figure out how to say this without offending… well, that might be tough, so I guess I’ll just say it straight up… no beating around the bush… gonna just lay it out the way I see it.

Naonka, as far as wanting to make sure that nobody thinks you’re a *****…. Girl, it’s too late. That ship has sailed.

You might be able to turn it around, but for the time being, you are the “*****” of the show, and the little that I know about you, I’m pretty sure you’re okay with that title.

In fairness to Naonka, as lippy and sassy as she is, she did make me laugh often. She does have a good sense of humor, she just needs to think a little bit before she speaks. Maybe her and Jimmy T should sit down for a little meditation together. Go to China. Meet a Monk or something.

And I’m not even gonna get into Naonka stealing somebody’s socks. These people are out of their friggin minds! It’s only day five!

Thank God Fabio is still sane.

THE HIDDEN IMMUNITY IDOL
Marty: (to Jill) “I got the idol. I got the idol baby. I got the first idol—(realizing the error of his statement)- WE got the first idol!”
Jill: (knowingly) We got the idol.

Damn Marty. You are out of control. Jill was the one who figured out the clue. She then came and told you where to look. Then she came and inspired you to keep looking and when you finally find it, the first words out of your mouth are… “I got it!?” I? I?

Maybe I should just send you “The New Earth” and not wait for you to get it yourself.

MEN ARE FROM MARS
Chase, I know you prayed to God to bring you someone you could trust. But who are you kidding? You don’t “trust” Brenda because God sent her to you, you trust Brenda for the same reason every guy would trust Brenda – she’s hot. Just say it. Own it. It’ll feel so much better. Everybody can appreciate falling for a beautiful woman. No slight to God intended, I’m just saying that this decision didn’t need anybody’s blessing. It’s a slam dunk.

But to everyone else — if you’re in an alliance with Chase, you need to get out now! He’s crazy over Brenda and he’s going to tell her everything. Someone put a rope around his neck and drag him back into the shelter. Bring him here to the Probst doghouse. You’ve got to do something or he’ll bring you down.

TRIBAL COUNCIL
That was not editing – I asked one opening question and Shannon just started talking. Much like Wendy, he just wouldn’t shut up. The more he talked, the more he influenced the tribe to vote him out. When someone is that aggressive it’s hard not to have a reaction. Shannon was aggressive.

I think he sealed his fate when he asked Sash, out of nowhere, “Are you gay?” And then followed it up with, “New York is full of gay people.”

Too bad the finale for this season is in LA, woulda been kinda fun to get a group and take Shannon out to a couple of gay bars in Manhattan.

When I saw the message Sash had for Shannon as he voted, I laughed out loud:

Sash: “You should have known better than to mess with the biggest bachelor in NY. As they say in Nicaragua, Hasta La Vista!”

I’m not laughing with or at Sash, I’m just laughing because it’s so damn funny. It’s just funny watching Sash with that confident grin of his proclaiming to be the biggest bachelor in one of the biggest cities in the entire world. Sash, we must hang. I want to watch you work your magic, baby! Maybe you, me and Shannon should all go to the Big Apple and party! Hollllla!

PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW
Shannon – it’s with mixed emotions that we say goodbye. Your one-liners were fantastic and had you lasted longer you would have given us many more laughs. But the longer you lasted the more unlikable you would have become. It’s true. Doesn’t mean you’re a bad guy, it just means that in this environment you… were… well.. unlikable. I’m only speaking about this game. I’m sure your life is full of love and great friendships. Survivor just wasn’t your destiny.

In closing, I will say what I say to all guys who are much bigger than me. Shannon, please don’t kick my *** when you see me again. I voted for you to be on the show – you delivered a lot, you left too soon, but you weren’t long for the game. You just came on too strong.

See ya next week!

I know!

It happens every time! Have they never watched teh show? You need to make it to the merge or you are going home and these silly folks just never seem to get it. I loved that Fabio was the one who was supposed to be a dumb as dirt but talk about a tribal council! Whole bunch of lunatics there!

Nah, I just can't see having it both ways. When it comes to race, it's just not right for one kind of alliance to be okay and not the other IMO. Comparing an alliance formed by hair color versus one formed by race is like comparing apples to oranges.

ITA. I think it is not appropriate at all, not to mention a little shortsighted. The purpose of an alliance is to get you to the merge and tehn to make it to the final three. Anyone who thinks NaOnka is going to help their cause, minority alliance, female alliance, mean girl alliance...........whatever.........is going to go home early too. That woman is just plain mean and I would not trust her as far as her sock went.

Jeff asked a simple opening question, and you somehow lost your mind and went on all kinds of tangents.

That was !

 

[MIGrandma]

What is up with people having diahrea of the mouth?! First Wendy from last week, now Shannon this week at tribal council? Good grief people, SHUT UP already!!! Glad he's gone though. And Nyonka or whatever-her-name-is, PLEASE let her go next!! To steal Fabio's extra pair of socks and then yell at him when he tries to confront her? Seriously? He should have been more forceful about it, and gotten his socks back!!

And Holly? Oh. My. Gosh. What an absolute freakin' NUT CASE!! She can go soon too! If she didn't want to eat the snails, fine, don't eat them. But to take the container and dump them out so others couldn't? That's just wrong. And to take that guys shoes and do with them what she did? I have no words for that. I liked her last week, but not anymore!!

I was glad to see the older tribe use that power necklace, glad it helped them to win the challenge. And I was glad they didn't focus so much on Jimmy Johnson....I'm ready for him to go soon too.
