Survivor Samoa

soloturtle
soloturtle: The new season has begun. I hate reality shows, but this one has always kept me enthralled. I felt bad this time for the first girl to go, Marrisa. Usually I don't care much about the first few because we haven't gotten to know them yet. In this case, however, I quickly learned what a waste of flesh and bones Russell was and it saddened me to see Marrisa - who seemed like a sweet kid - not even get a chance. Such is the game. I feel this season's game will become known as the "I Hate Russell Show".

soloturtle: I agree Lois. The guy is a tool, especially with the Katrina story. It was hard enough putting up with Coach last season, I pray Russell doesn't last very long. I'd rather spend the time getting to know people instead of the attention being focused on a jack-ass who likes to make others miserable.

soloturtle: That Russell dude owns an oil company.... he doesn't need the money. He's just one of those people who likes to stir up trouble and watch people suffer. Kind of shows everyone what big oil is all about.

soloturtle: There are a multitude of reality shows out there that cater to one person or another. Survivor is the one and only program like this that I watch. I'm not putting down shows like The Amazing Race, Big Brother or American Idol...I simply choose to watch Survivor because that is the one I enjoy.
I created this forum for fans of Survivor (and myself) to discuss the show and the participants of the game.
If you are not a fan of the show, please pass through to another forum that does interest you. So many of these forums get bogged down in unnecessary comments, off-topic conversations or immature people just spouting off. If that is your intention then please create your own forum to do so.
This forum is for fans of Survivor.

soloturtle: It's sad when it happens, and it seems to happen more each season: because of medical concerns Mike was sent home. I feel bad for him because it's an unfortunate way to get sent off of the show. And, considering that Bob won last season (he was close to 60 years old) we shouldn't rule out the older folks on Survivor as being weak or not up to the challenge.
Let's talk Yasmin. The show begins with her complaining about how horrible it is to be out in the jungle. I've never understood some of the people who go on Survivor and expect some kind of four-star treatment. What do they expect when they sign up for the show? Maid service, clean sheets and room service?
Yasmin also lost any respect I may have given her with her confrontational, dramaqueen rudeness directed at the team she was sent to observe. She could have simply mentioned her problem with Ben tackling her during the Immunity Challenge - even made a joke about it and left it at that - but instead she attacked him and made a bad situation worse.
Ben, for his part could have apologized for being to aggressive and getting kicked out of the challenge for unnecessary roughness. Instead, he let his true racist colors show and then spent the night chopping wood and preventing everyone from getting any sleep.
It's easy to make judgements when you're simply a viewer of the program and not actually there in the thick of it. However, the two blond girls and Liz could have joined with Betsy and voted Ben out. Instead, they followed Russell the Terrible's lead and gave Betsy the boot. As much as I dislike Russell, he may have been right when he refered to them as "The dumb-ass girls" because they kicked a police officer out over a racist, semi-psychotic, poor sport.
As usual, the plot thickens and I'm left counting the days until next Thursday.
Oh, and incidentally, I had a feeling, as soon as he started looking for it, that Russell was going to find the immunity idol. It seems that jerks always have the best luck. Hopefully, it won't last.

Keas: As I understand it, the forums are where anyone can say what they want about things being discussed. If you want to talk about the show in only a positive light, then you are free to create a club based on it. Otherwise, you will sooner or later get criticism from one person or another.
If your post was directed at me, I merely said what I thought. It did not mean I did not like the show.

soloturtle: No, I was not directing my comments at you or anyone else. I was merely pointing out that many forum topics spiral off topic and descend into name calling, disagreement and arguements.
My only desire in creating this forum was to clear a spot for fans of the show Survivor to discuss the show as the new season unfolds. Both positive and negative comments are welcome as long as they pertain to the content of the program and not simply as a criticism of the show existing in the first place.
I would assume that people who are not fans of Survivor would simply not come here to voice their opinions but would, for their own pleasure and purposes, create a forum along the lines of Survivor Sucks or something like that.
My intention was to discuss the show, not defend its existence to people who don't like it. That's all.

soloturtle: That was Shambo (Shannon and Rambo). What I don't get is how someone can lose one of the only items the tribe owns and especially something used to obtain food. (The mouth-piece for the snorkle). How careless and/or stupid do you have to be to let something like that simply float away?
I know I'm not there, so I don't know everything tha's going on, but why did everyone just stand around complaining about how Shambo not only didn't catch any fish, but also lost the mouth-piece?
Why didn't someone take the spear and the mask and go down to the reef and try to catch some fish?
It seems like the survivors place all their hope in one person getting food for them and when that one person fails, no one ever thinks of trying it themselves.
I don't rule out the older folks either, remember Tina and Bob? They both won.
Thursday always seems so far away.

soloturtle: Well, looks like I missed a week. Ben got the boot and good riddance to him. Not much to say but I'm glad to see him go.

I did, however, want to comment on the fact that the Survivor producers decided to provide bikinis for all the girls. How cheesy was that? Being a male, I admit that there are worse things in life to look at than pretty girls in bikinis, but I am dissapointed in what appears to be an ever-growing (or continuing) theme on Survivor.
From its inception I always regarded Survivor as a show for ordinary, normal people. A place where any man or woman off of the street could compete. It stands to reason that active, physically fit people would try-out for the show and a certain amount of physical strength and endurance is obviously helpful in surviving Survivor. But, what I don't like is how the producers populate the show more and more with hot looking, skinny girls, usually with big boobs and usually about 23 years old. I find it hard to believe that these are the only kinds of women trying out for the show.
I'd like to see more of a variety of people on the show. If I wanted to watch hot girls in bikinis I'd tune-in to 90210, The Hills or any of the other crap they show on the CW Network.
Providing the girls with bikinis was a seriously cheesy move on the part of Survivor. I thought the whole idead was that the contestants would get by with what they brought with them. Survivor has never suffered from low ratings or lack of an audience.
That whole experience has left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

soloturtle: Last night Yasmine got the axe and left the show. I was surprised to see Russell (the chief) voted for her. She was good in the challenges but appeared quite lazy around camp.
While I like Shambo's personality, I can't understand someone who first loses the mouth-piece to the snorkle AND then allows a chicken to escape. And what's even worse is that no one gets up off of their lazy butt long enough to recapture the chicken or at least knock it out of a tree with a rock so the tribe can eat.
I realize that I'm not there and I probably don't know all of the hardships the contestants' face from day to day, but I don't ever see any of them working too hard to provide food. We're not talking about a wild pig or a big fish either. We're talking about a chicken !! No one can pick up a rock and kill it for a roasted chicken? What's wrong with these people? Two eggs a day from the remaining chickens isn't going to provide much by way of food either.
Of course, I'll be right here next Thursday waiting to see what happens.

soloturtle: It was indeed sad to see Ashley go if only because Russell still remains. It's funny that Ashley listed Russell as one of the people that she trusted. I noticed her blond friend (can't remember her name) also voted against her. If the 3 women had gotten together with Jaison they could have voted out Russell. Of course, as viewers, we are not there in the thick of things and we generally have more information that is not available at the time to the contestants.
It's entertaining to watch the people break down and become increasingly petty and childish as that guy Dave (?) did concerning building the fire. Once there is a minor blaze it doesn't take a rocket scientist to slowly pile on more wood and build the fire up.
I don't understand the survivor's willingness to stand around and do nothing to lessen their own suffering and misery. Then again, I can say this from the comfort of my recliner as I munch on pizza and snuggle with my cat.
If there is a God and justice in the Universe, Russell H. will not even make it to the jury. What a smarmy, loathsome turd.

soloturtle: Leaving the show for medical reasons is always sad to see. Russell The Good (as I've come to call him, as opposed to Russell the ass) was taken out of the game due to his elevated heart-rate and roller coaster blood pressure. I feel bad for him because that kind of exit has to be so personally disappointing.
Other than that, not much happened. The dual Tribal Councils didn't result in anyone getting voted out. We'll have to see what happens tonight. I have to say that I was doing other things when this episode was on so I didn't pay the usual edge-of-my-seat, eyes-glued-to-the-screen enthusiasm that I tend to enjoy.
