SURVIVOR : Nicaragua

[popsicletrees]

I have to agree with the other comments. I can't believe that Dan is around and that neither of these tribes are concerned with keeping themselves strong. Stay strong until the merge and then start picking off your competition - simple. Dan should have been out a long time ago. He is worthless to the team, two good players - Tyrone and Yve have gone out instead of him.

I don't like Brenda either, never did. She annoys me too. Plus, not getting out Marty was really dumb on her part. She shouldn't have verbally attacked him during tribal only to vote out someone else. I liked Kelly B. She was a really strong player that the younger team needed to keep their numbers.

Well, Marty saved his butt tonite by giving Sash the idol. And Sash's little slip up may just break up the yout's alliance. Brenda's face told the whole story. Blindsides are coming.

The upcoming merge and what happened at Tribal may have just shifted things in the game.

And once they get back together, will Nay get back to having major attitude and annoying everyone? I hope so and hope that she is launched for it.

Plenty of outstanding camera work in the show. At one point, it almost looked like they were doing an ad for swimwear when the did the slow pan down.

First of all - why didn't anyone say anything to Fabio about relieving himself in the pool? Everyone just shrugged it off and continued jumping in. Totally foul. ALSO - why were people jumping in the pool with their sneakers on? Traction? Wouldn't they be soaked through for days? It wasn't everyone - just a few of them. Looks like Nay goes all psycho next week stealing fruit and stuff from the merge basket/chest thing. I love when they get to the merge - the game really heats up. Good stuff!

 

[SAV]

Bummed to see Marty go out. He was trying to things shaken up. Hard to believe the worthless 2 of Dan & Jane made it longer than Marty. I thought Dan was gonna soil himself on the zip line. Man I can't stand Nay. She is sure making herself hated so someone will take her to the finals. I do want to see a Sash and Brenda break up. That will make for some fireworks.

Also, the footage from Alina and Marty at Ponderosa is up at cbs.com. Some good stuff, for sure.

At least once a season I vow to never watch this show again. After Wednesday night I threw the same little temper tantrum again. I just despise how people like Holly, Dan, Nay and Jane get far in these games, yet those who are actually enjoyable to watch like Marty get ousted.

There isn't one person left that I want to root for or even stand to listen to anymore. Why are Brenda and Sash in charge? Why do they think they are Gods? I actually feel dumber after Jane and Nay speak.

There must be so much they do not show because I don't remember why Jane claims Marty was so mean to her in the beginning. So, because he didn't include you in he and Jill's alliance, that makes him mean? I also don't get why there was such hated for Alina. Nay STOLE food and then lied about it, yet she was more liked? I just don't get it.

I'll never stop watching though. :lol:

Thanks for the tip - I always forget about that!

Did you see the previews for next week? What do you think they discover at camp? I was thinking maybe a wild animal got into the chicken cage and mauled it - whatever it is their reactions make it seem HORIFFIC.

 

[ann0d]

I think bugs got in the food supply, maybe ants?

 

[SAV]

I am thinking that there was a fire at camp and torched everything by the reaction. Maybe it was the chicken, but they seemed over the top with the reaction. Or it was some creative editing to make it seem worse.

I enjoyed listening to Fabio talk strategy, and his need to play stupid. The role he was born to play!

Brenda's got quite the ego on her. Her interviews, while nowhere near the Russell level of smugness (he set the bar real high on that one), are pretty entertaining. I'll be glad to see her get the boot or win the whole thing.

I love the contestants that go all out to win, not the ones who either wimp out or play because of some stupid personal vendetta. I'm looking at you, Jane. Revenge is not a strategy. Continuing in an endurance challenge after you've already won immunity just to beat another contestant is not just childish, but is crappy game play. Definitely rooting against her.

I can't root against Naonka, though, because she's just too uniquely crazy not to enjoy. You never know what she's going to say or do next, but it is often surprisingly wacky. In person, I would find her baffling and off-putting, but as a viewer, hilarious.

 

[SAV]

As expected, the fire torched everything. Strange they didn't show more of a reaction from the winners when they got back to see it. I thought Jane was gonna take a Fabio-like spill and break something. Dan is just about worthless out there.

Glad to see Brenda go, but now Sash lost her vote if he gets to the finals. He could have saved her, but didn't.

I honestly didn't think she would go because they spent the whole show about her going...they usually don't do that.

Chase is starting to bug the hell out of me. Maybe with his girlfriend gone, he can get his other head in the game and start playing.

The Ponderosa footage should be good this week.

 

[Disneybird]

I certainly didn't see Brenda being voted off this soon. I really think she thought Sash was going to save her.

I think if they play it right, Benry or Jane could go to the finals.

 

[DiPSU224]

Finally got around to watching last night. Oh Chase...you are so very adorable...but you are not very smart.

I was waiting for Brenda to finally get the boot. I could not stand her! I actually kind of like Sash now, where as before I couldn't stand him either. And where did Holly come from all of a sudden, actually playing the game!? I'm rooting for her as well now.

Now, I am nowhere near an outdoors kind of girl and have zero experience making or maintaining a fire, but why was it thought to be a good idea to put wood surrounding and over top of a fire while they were gone? I would have been nervous leaving that unattended....

Hopefully next week we finally see the end of Nay. Fingers crossed!

 

[SAV]

Alright...I am just DISGUSTED by Nay and Purple Kelly quitting like that. It is an insult to the game. Yes, Nay is off of my TV screen, but I don't even get the satisfaction of seeing her voted out. And she is a complete rag(I can't use the stronger word I wanted to call her) to be so selfish to not give herself up so they could all get rice and the Tarp. She knew she was going and would get the good food in a few hours anyways.

Purple Kelly is not much better. She didn't do as much to upset me as Nay did, so I don't have the venom for her. She was pretty worthless and just riding along, so it isn't really much of a loss.

It was "just" 11 more days. I understand it was nasty out there and awful conditions, but Jane was how many years older and was still toughing it out. Dan who can barely walk...toughing it out. "Mom"...toughing it out. Fabio...toughing it out.

They both QUIT and you could see Alina, Marty and Brenda just wanting to be back in the game. I hope they give them both the cold shoulder at Ponderosa and let the quitters hang out together...alone.

 

[hcswingfield]

I guesss they could run for governor of Alaska now.

 

[DiPSU224]

Ridiculous.

Nay has completely ruined this season for me. What a waste of human space. I despised Brenda, but after tonight's worthlessness, I wish she could come back into the game. At least she wanted to be there.

 

[NYwdwfan]

What a disgusting display. I was glad that Probst gave them as much flack as he did - leaving the torches there for them to see, etc. You SIGNED UP to play a GAME. In the RAINFOREST. What did you expect? Idiots. I seriously thing Nay knew she was either going to be voted out or snubbed at the end and here wacky ego couldn't have handled the rejection so she just quit to save the embarassment. Purple Kelly is just a waste. How pathetic.

 

[GenerationX]

We were ripped off! Sure, Alina, Marty, and Brenda have many reasons to complain, but what about us viewers? The opening credits for Purple Kelly had her walking down the beach in some hot little bikini, and when did we ever see that this season? [/shallow end of pool]

Naonka left as she played, completely delusional. She had zero chance of winning.

With Brenda and Marty on the jury (the only real Machiavellian schemers in the game), we're left with Holly calling the shots? Ugh. I'm actually holding out hope that Fabio's whole dimwit persona has been a huge scam, and that he's been plotting and scheming all along.

I wouldn't hold your breath - I fear his apparent vacancy is the real deal!

 

[SAV]

I just watched the Ponderosa footage from Nay and Purple and was a little disappointed that Brenda & Marty welcomed them in with open arms. And that the 2 were so happy to be out of the game. Alina was a little bit less welcoming because she was genuinely upset about it. Then they get to go on some nice excursions while there. Kinda fitting the day after they leave it's a nice bright sunny day.

I read some of the responses by Nay in her little Chat on Comcast. :brick:

And Gx...There is some nice camera work in the Ponderosa footage you may want to take a look at. Purple, Alina & Brenda clean up nicely.

 

[SAV]

Well, Benry going home is an interesting move. Everyone is right. Jane needs to go or she will win it all. I wouldn't mind her winning because she is actually competing and isn't just coasting along.

Sash may just play himself to the end. That idol in his pocket may do the trick.

You can see Fabio was ed that his guys turned on him, which you can bet Sash is going to use to his advantage and manipulate him to do what he wants.

Not a ton to talk about overall, other than Dan is pretty useless out there. Time to watch some Ponderosa footage.
