You got 202 "this week" or is that your cumulative score so far?

I had a dream last night that I got picked to be on Survivor. It was "Survivor: Kentucky." I don't remember much but I do remember Probst explaining Kudzu vines to us.

BTW, I don't have anything against Kentucky (I don't think). I'll admit, it was a bit of a let down to find out that we weren't going to some exotic location (not that Kentucky isn't exotic).

I cant decide who to assign the bonus points to?


Should I take the couples? Drop One Of Them? Who to pick up? Is Johnathon a good choice?

just an opinion. Jonathon long term will start to drive people crazy, but he is good so far and dont see him leaving yet. If you think you have a good angle for some points go for it.

You can almost guarantee that ozzy and amanda will be kissing every episode. The down side is people are going to want to break them up. I bet you will see amanda be the target, because ozzy has so much benefit to the team for eating and phsyical challengea (especially swimming)

If the favorites dont win this week, I dont think I would want to be holding onto amanda. Just my opinion tho, LOL not like I am winning or anything.

Wow, Pete! Tell me, was I there too?

Grace, you don't think Parvetti will get the boot before Amanda?

Hmm... kiss or boot... this is tough!

ETA: I'm sitting here mulling over the whole couples angle.... Can someone who is familiar with the Favorites from previous seasons answer a question for me? Was there something romantic between Parvetti and Ozzy before in a prior show? (or was it Amanda and James) And if so, what happened?

I would have thought that until ozzy and amanda got caught kissing. They became a much bigger than threat than james/pavarti.

no romance between either couple prior. the favorites are from different seasons, they didnt all play together.

I can't remember if there was something romantic between Parvati and Ozzy, but frankly there was something going on between Parvati and almost ALL the males at one point or another. She was a total flirt and definitely NOT afraid to use her... errrr... womanly wiles to advance herself in the game.

There was so totally nothing between James and Amanda in their season. In fact, Amanda was the instrument of his demise... she convinced the rest of the tribe to blindside him and vote him off with both HI's in his pocket.

Interesting.... I knew I had read something about James/Amanda or Parvetti/Ozzy... just couldn't remember what it was or which pair...

James is certainly not going to want to be in alliance with Amanda... bet he still harbors great resentment towards her...

On the other hand, bravo to Amanda! Shows she has some great leadership qualities if she managed to convince her tribe to vote James off...

Thanks! Back to my thinking corner...

I think I would have remembered that. I do remember going to get a new haircut before I left. I wanted to look good on TV. It was all spikey and I thought it looked terribly cool. No one else liked it though.


Back on topic: Bonus Points this week
The fact that you can't collect the bonus points multiple times for the same player in the same episode (as Pink pointed out) changes my thinking a bit. Before, I would have tried to pick things could happen two or three times a night. Now, I'm just trying to decide if there is anything that is more likely to happen than kissing.

Catches a fish - Ozzy can do that with his bare hands but this week his tribe has fishing gear and a new boat. I think it's likely but not certain there will be fishing in the Fav camp this week.
Gets naked - If it happens I think it will be completely random. I would guess that it would be some Fav trying to make "Survivor Moment" for them to be remembered by.
Kisses another survivor - They gave so much emphasis to "Jungle Love" last week that I'm not sure it will feature prominantly again in this episode. But then again, friendly pecks on the cheek count too.
Sings a song - I think one of the fans said he was bringing a guitar as his luxury item. I don't think I've seen any luxury items but maybe he still intends to entertain the camp acapella?
Tries to open a coconut - It seems like someone is always hacking on a coconut. If I were picking fans I'd proabably put the guys on coconut duty.
Finds hidden immunity idol - I don't like this one because you would have to lose points for getting sent to exile island before you could get points for finding the idol.
Plays hidden immunity idol - Right now, there is no idol to play. If I had any idea that someone would find it this week then I think the "Finds" points would be a safer pick than the "Plays" points.

Ozzy is good for catching a fish most episodes thats where I got my BP's this week

the coconut is a good one also

Hmm... my thoughts?

Catching Fish (Favorites) and Kissing (Favorites) are the two safest bets...

Not sure about opening coconuts... I'm sure they must open a lot, but we don't get points unless they actually show that on the episode, correct? How entertaining is it to watch guys crack coconuts? Unless it was someone like me trying to get one open...

I'm still sore about that "plays hidden immunity idol" category. What's the point of choosing that option when you don't get the bonus points for it... She had the "hidden immunity idol" and she clearly played it to gain herself immunity...

Stink... if CBS tallied the points better, I'd have a 55 points closer gain on Pete

Well when I was a Sr. in HS I went on a Mission with my church youth group to Redbird KY...let me tell you we were there for 2 weeks and it was worse than survivor!
When you took a shower you came out smelling worse than when you went in! They have so much Sulfer in the water everything smelled like rotten eggs!
The area looked like something you would see on a "Feed the children" Infomercial...it was a very grimm place but we did good things there and the communtity was very thankful for our help.
The last 4 days we were there I had Strep Throat and a fever of 105...a trip to remember thats for sure!

OH BTW 202 Was my last week score only I think 255 is my Total so far

 

[LittleSkyBird]

I didn't know about assigning the bonus categories.

1st show: 33 Don't boot me out of the tribe just yet, I'll get better!!
2nd show: 268 + 30 point bonus

OT Sorry for not posting sooner, my mind has been occupied reading about canine seizures. Triggers, possible treatments etc etc..

[Mnementh]

They still haven't fixed the "wins individual immunity" awards, so my points are still "correct" thus far, though I really should have 278.
