Survivor: Palau...official Thread

[aengus]

I have seen some creative suggestions as to why Stephanie would keep her word and vote for both of them, but I dont think I would buy that so I dont think her teammates are going to either. She is the strongest physical player but I think she is showing a mental weakness there. After such a long speech about being trustworthy and then to pull a 'john kerry' like that in front of everyone? She is going to have to single handedly win immunity (because those guys sure cant) to redeem herself over the next couple of challenges, or her torch will be the next one snuffed out.

 

[Gymbomom]

I think Steph had TOLD Bobby John she was voting first for hima nd then for James. I think it was edited out. If there is no interaction of him getting upset with her next week, we will know this to be true.
There was NO hesitation in her voting the second time, made me think it was planned.

I need to make another comment on Bengalbelle's spoiler. If you DID NOT read the spoiler, DO NOT HIGHLIGHT my text.

ok highlight here so I can comment on that... you said :

The spoiler said there will be no merge this season. My theory was that Ulong must continue to lose consecutevely. I have since discovered a problem with my theory. Say next week, Ulong loses, and Bobby Jon and Steph vote off Ibraham. OK, now it is down to the final two of the tribe. Next TC, their votes would cancel each other out. At that point, they would have to merge, wouldn't you think? Unless they have Koror act as a jury again, and they vote.

I'd like to say...

DAMN GOOD POINT!!! Maybe they'll go into a "final immunity" challenge between the 2 of them...whoever wins...goes to the other tribe, loser gets their torch snuffed

 

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

Disney1fan... in response to your comment about the spoiler....

Scroll here: Maybe when they get down to two they will have an immunity challenge just between the two of them to see which one gets kicked off?

 

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

Stinkerbelle.. great minds think alike.. and post at the same time!

 

[dbogen]

Here is my thery on Ulong loosing all the time. The can win the reward chalanges because Koror sites out the strong players for the reward. That way when it is time for ammunity the strong rested players are the ones who compete. I don't know what they are going to do next week as there will be someone who doesn't compete at all, the numbers don't work.

DH and I thought about that also...they'd be breaking their own rules of sitting the same player out in back to back challenges. I agree....I think there will be a final immunity, and then the last Ulong will go live with Koror and THEN it will be a free for all! .....Giving Steph her chance at immunity and giving Koror the chance to finally vote off some of the people that bug them......(since they have little groups of "clicks" they are making)...and to me, that puts a huge bullseye on Ian and Tom.

IF the spoiler is true, they must have a plan for this considering Ulong may never win immunity. At this point Koror can pick and choose who they want to compete against Ulong and it may get even tougher for them to win. If there is no merge and it comes down to a tie between Steph and BJ, I hope they do an immunity challenge like Obi Wan and Stinkerbelle suggested and NOT a stupid rock thing like they did in a past Survivor.

What will come next week? Merge? Jonathan and Wanda back? What do you think?

SURVIVOR: PALAU - Thursday, March 31, 8PM ET/PT.

Two Survivors battle to provide for their tribe. One brings home a clam; one brings home a shark.

Well thanks to the commercials, we know that Ian and Tom on Koror bring home the shark. But I don't remeber a clam, what I remeber from the previews is Bobby Jon (Ulong) catching A fish. But it was bigger than some of the others he has catched so far.

Sitting out a Challenge, one Survivor finds it hard to watch from the sidelines and doubts the tribe's ability to win.

This has to Koror, I wonder if its Tom. You know it has got to be hard for him to have to sit out the challanges.

A tribe member is suspicious of a potential alliance forming between two very friendly tribemates that could spoil a game plan.

I think some one (Tom?) finally catches on to Greg and Jenn, and their little romace, that they say they don't have.

During a crucial Immunity challenge, one Survivor takes over for a struggling tribemate. Will it be enough to win?

This must be on Ulong. Either Steph or Bobby Jon take over for Ib. It's probley another water challange.

I really do hope that Ulong is able to save themselves and not got to another TC.

Here is James's interview from tvguide.com. Too funny!


Ulong lost immunity again on last week's Survivor: Palau, spelling the end for yet another tribe member. This time it was mumbling James Miller, the 33-year-old Alabaman who insisted they'd win the rope-knotting challenge thanks to his Navy background. When TVGuide.com met him in New York City to ask what went wrong, we got quite a bit more than we bargained for. Despite weather in the mid-30s, James arrived wearing only ripped jeans and a T-shirt. The self-proclaimed "redneck" also brought along a charming accessory — his tough-talking stripper wife, Brandi, whose skimpy attire was also seasonally inappropriate and who sat in his lap during the entire interview.



TVGuide.com: You seem underprepared for today's frosty temperature.
James Miller: I know it. I'm a redneck and we come out of 61 degrees [back home], and I'm thinking we'll be all right. Uh-uh. I froze my *** off.

TVG: Don't you have a jacket?
James: Uh-uh. I ain't never owned a coat. Ain't never needed one.

TVG: OK, then. What would you have done differently on Survivor?
James: I would have not voted Angie off. I would have got rid of Bobby Jon. I knew I had Stephanie on my side, and I knew I had Angie on my side. Bobby Jon makes his own decisions when he gets to tribal council. If I had got rid of him, then on the next one, Ibrehemwould have went. No doubt.

TVG: You, Bobby Jon and Ibrehem are all Alabama boys. Why didn't you get along?
James: Ibrehem is from Birmingham, but he's been raised in the city somewhere. If he's from the South, he don't know how to work a hammer, a nail or a shovel. It's like he ain't never done no work in his life, like his parents catered to him. He was just getting in the way.

TVG: I thought you and Bobby Jon were tight?
James: I thought so too, but he assumed that I voted for him. I didn't; it was Stephanie. I hope he feels like s--t. I hope Stephanie feels like crap.

TVG: So you didn't know Stephanie lied until you saw the episode?
James: Exactly. I couldn't believe that. But it's all right because my lovely wife here, you know what she's going to do when we get to the finale? They're going to tango. It's going to be a cage match. [Brandi nods enthusiastically.]

TVG: Some of your comments about religion and sexuality were very un-PC. Anything you regret saying?
James: No. You are a human being; you've got a right to say what you want, right? If it offends somebody, they've got the right to be offended. As long as there ain't no physical violence. I can't come over there and slap the hell out of you for calling me a redneck. But you have the right to say, "You are just a stupid redneck."

TVG: [Uncomfortably] I wouldn't say that.
James: Of course, because you are polite person. But even if you thought that, you've got a right to say that. But I wouldn't get on your ***. That ain't fair. I've got a right to say what I think.

TVG: So there's nothing you saw of yourself on TV that you wanted to take back?
James: No. But I was funny at it... right? If I want to get to the point and tell people what I think, sometimes I can be not too nice about it. But, most of the time, I try to be funny about it and they understand.


TVG: With your Navy know-how, you claimed to be excellent at tying knots. But the other tribe untied them so quickly. Do your Navy pals give you a hard time about that?
James: No. I've been in hiding, and I ain't talked to nobody. I don't go out much. I'm a homeboy; I take care of the kids and [Brandi] takes her clothes off for money. I'm tellin' you, I need a job. The knot was tight, you just didn't see it. It took them a long time to untie it. What you saw was just the after-effects of it. That's just good TV.

TVG: Your team just kept losing and getting beaten...
James: That was our strategy.

TVG: To just completely lose?
James: [Jokingly] Yeah. We figured if we ain't going to win the $1 million, we'll just get in the Guinness Book of World Records.

TVG: Maybe you'll get your own Pringle chip.
James: It's gonna be "Who is the only tribe in Survivor history to never win an immunity challenge?" And it's gonna say, "Ulong"! [The producers] didn't put in one of the things I said. They asked, "If you could give your tribe a different name, what would you call it?" I said, "I'd call it, You Ain't Got Long."

TVG: How much weight did you lose? You were looking really skinny out there.
James: I looked like death warmed over, didn't I? I lost a lot of weight, I think 22 lbs.

TVG: Would you ever do anything like this again?
James: Oh, hell yeah. I'll know next time to eat as much coconut as I can, even if it is a laxative.

TVG: Wow. Camp must have been fun.
James: It was stanky. I'm telling you, don't eat coconut! Stay away from the milk!

TVG: Any other reality shows you'd like to do?
James: I wanted to go on The Amazing Race. But we can't do it because Boston Rob already beat me to it, the little son of a beeyatch.

TVG: Even though you lost, was Survivor a good experience?
James: It was the best experience I ever had. It was life changing. Me and [my wife] used to not get along too well. We argued a lot because we didn't see things eye to eye. And the kids got on my nerves sometimes, because that is just what they do. I went there and come back, and I thank God. I took my wife and kids for granted. You've got one life to live — I need to get on that soap opera, too! — but it is about her and the kids.

TVG: Do you think you were the most deserving person to win?
James: I was the most broke person out there. I deserved $1 million in that aspect. Did I earn it more than anybody? No.

TVG: What's next?
James: [Rambling] What am I going to do now? Probably [be] a talk-show host somewhere; it's gonna be funny. It ain't gonna be silly like some of these folks. Soap-opera star, movie star, commercials — but a million-dollar commercial, I won't go for less than that. You've got all these movie stars out there who get $20 million a movie and they want more, more and more. On $1 million, I can live the rest of my life in a motor home somewhere and nobody's got to worry.
Brandi: On 8 Mile.
James: 9 Mile. Right now we are living at 7 Mile and it is rough.

TVG: So back to your plan for the finale...
James: Brandi's going to stomp some ***. She won't get physical, but she'll give [Stephanie] a piece of her mind.
Brandi: I was really, really disappointed in [Stephanie]. I was all talking about how pretty she was and how good she was, and then I couldn't believe it. She just ruined it.

TVG: Weren't you prepared for the lying and backstabbing?
James: Uh-uh. I didn't think that was going to happen until later on.

TVG: So you never watched Boston Rob in action?
James: Yeah, but Boston Rob? He's an [expletive]. You know, none of us were [like that in Palau]. There really weren't any buttholes; they were just lazy.

 

[bubba's mom]

TVG: So you didn't know Stephanie lied until you saw the episode?
James: Exactly. I couldn't believe that. But it's all right because my lovely wife here, you know what she's going to do when we get to the finale? They're going to tango. It's going to be a cage match. [Brandi nods enthusiastically.]

hhhhmmm..wonder if she'll have some time to cool off?? we all know Steph ain't gonna put up w/ her..should be a good match...
GO STEPH!

..... They asked, "If you could give your tribe a different name, what would you call it?" I said, "I'd call it, You Ain't Got Long."

 

[Liz]

I have been enjoying this season of Survivor so much . . . . until now. Its not fun anymore! Ulong gets a tiny fish and Koror gets a shark, Ulong loses and oh yeah Ulong loses again, etc. Enough already, been there done that. Its like ho hum now. I hated to see any of Ulong go home but I'm happy it wasn't Steph because I like her best.

I hope there's some shake up or merge next week before I die of boredom!

 

[geetey]

I am with you, Liz! How much more can we take of this? I am glad Steph and Bobby Jon are still around. I would like to see them get through a merge (PLEASE let there be one!) so the real playing can begin and Koror members have to start really stepping up and playing consistently. I am rooting for Steph!
