Survivor 17 - Gabon

[Sean]

How the hell is there not a thread on this yet?

Awesome two hour first episode - the Fang team got totally dominated by Kota.

Man, that wimpy little gamer dude is pretty lol though. =(

[MorinkhanMT]

Yeah, I was rofl'n when he was fallin in love with the negative chick. "It'd be so hot if you ate that termite queen, hurr hurr".

Boggled my mind when they were picking teams. Has there ever been a worst team picking? Old chick picks strong black chick, who picks other old chick... great start to your tribe, morons. Pass over all the young and strong. =)

I also lol'd at all the suspicion when Dan came back from Exile. "He's acting really weird, he must have the HII, so let's Mr. Strong Guy off our already pathetically weak tribe!"

Probst constantly making fun of the shit tribe was hilarious.

Although I think the two-guy, two-girl alliance on the good tribe will be a strong one... DAMN, was that gay guy mooning over the doctor ever annoying. Wear your heart on your sleeve much? heh

I don't see how this isn't going to be a one-tribe steamroller season at this point unless they start swapping members or re-pick the tribes.

Yeah, it blows me away how terrible some people are right from the get go.

OMG LETS MAKE THE OLD MOMS TEAM!!1

Good luck with that strategy. And voting off the chick who was bitching was stupid. Just deal with her whiny ass until you can win some shit. She was heads above the two old chicks(and almost everyone else) in the first physical event.

I'm really annoyed with Randy (is it Randy?) the photographer. Oh my God, he is SO negative and he does NOTHING.


edit: What kind of a fool wears a dress to Survivor? Especially an Olympic track gold winner...lol wtf?

edit 2: I'm so embarrassed with the gay guy. Oh God, I wish he would stop trying to get into the straight guy's pants, lol. At least Marcus is very open.

I kind of agreed with you at first, he was doing nothing but talking negative shit, but he changed my opinion somewhat later in the show by recognizing his own negativity and actively toning it down in front of the others. He's still that way when he's one-on-one with the cameras, but he's smart enough to see what a problem it would be if he acted that way publicly. Just look at what happened to Michelle, who was even more negative than him... she got voted out before even Gillian, the 60-yr old grandmother.

could be a good show. Physics teacher is my favorite guy. Fucker can build some tents.

[Kuriin]

I don't know why everyone's making fun of the gaming geek, either. He was the first one to think about eating termites for protein and that was a really smart idea. Same goes with Gillian on the elephant poop.

It's a good show so far. I honestly hope Kato (or whatever the name is) keeps owning the other team.

[Kiroy]

That black dude is ignint as hell; actually the stupidity level on fang is in epic purportions.

That dude that went to exile couldn't even get past that first clue - my god with the things he says he reminds me so much of a real life michael scott from the office.

The only people who have half a brain on Fang is the old negative guy and the gamer. I hope they make it to and do well after the merge.

The really weird thing is it's like no one on that show except the four has seen any previous seasons of servivor. Fang people haven't even figured out what the word alliance means yet. Last season they were making alliences in the first 2 hours. This season reminds me of season 1 in the way their acting, but at least it's damn entertaining.

Oh and did anyone notice the cut scenes they did after some commercials where they went from one gorilla, to another gorilla, to the black guy? Subliminal racist message IMO.

He not only looks like this dude, but acts like his character on Rescue Me.

[Spork]

I was pissed that we finally get a season of Survivor in HDTV and the first thing they do is vote off one of the few chicks with a decent body. What good is HDTV if they get rid of all the eye candy early and we're left with old fat soccer moms.

[bouhhan]

hd + africa = win

this cast = lose

honestly, how do they pick these idiots?

this might be the worst cast ever.

what the hell was with the idiots doing yoga in their underwear?

ok, one stupid bald prick doing yoga is one guy, but for him to get like 3 others to do it with him?

it seems like none of these people know who they are.

bob may be the next yao man, we'll have to see.

anyway, i'm glad it's hd, and in a really cool place.

i like the idea of letting them choose clue or comfort on exile; that may get more interesting as time passes.

oh, and i love how they're editing in all the animal shots so it looks like there's dangerous wildlife everywhere...

[Sean]

Actually it was *five* other people doing it with him. Everyone except like Bob, that snickering chick, and someone else.

And really, it hardly makes them stupid or idiots. Stretching and loosening up your body like that before a challenge = pretty fucking good idea.

[bouhhan]

in your underwear? he was like talking about vibes or something too. whatever. just seemed like they were mostly tools...

Actually thats a fairly good strategy. You get the old people who cant do jack will make them get voted off earlier over the younger stronger ones. If they do well they dont have anything to fear, they get chosen to vote someone out well then you vote off one of the disposable old people. Build a partnership with the other strong person in your group who stands by you then stab them in the back later on.
