Well, it’s three pretty girls who do little work against 2 guys now.

They go to TC again and it might be 3 girls to 1 guy.

Lots of guys going home early this season.

Well the testosterone in Jeremiah finally surged at the right time. Getting rid of Brice was a no brainer and the only right thinking male thing to do. And I’m sure production also approved.

It’s possible from the previews of next week that the Brawn tribe will be at TC next week and it could be Tony on the chopping block — making that 4 men voted out in 4 weeks setting the stage for an all girl final.

BTW ask your bio prof to let class out minute earlier on Wednesdays as Survivor qualifies in some academic circles for biology extra credit.

We got hit with a bunch of snow days here in Fayetteville the last two months. Hit Wednesday night classes hardest. We’re about 2 chapters behind.

“And could they have found anyone gayer than Brice?”

The TWENTY-EIGHTH SEASON???

I thought this show began more recently.

Well, I said I thought this may be the worst Survivor season ever and last night’s episode certainly didn’t give me any reason to change that opinion.

To put it bluntly, it was about as exciting as watching paint dry.

The only highlight of last night’s episode was watching Brice prancing down the walk of shame, after getting his torch snuffed.

I do have to give Jeff credit though, he is certainly earning his pay with this bunch of losers

Well...it wasn’t the ONLY highlight. Any scene with Morgan in it doing something is a highlight in my book. I admit, she pegs my “hotness” meter, but she actually has a brain working behind those beautiful eyes. I hope she stays awhile so we can see what she’s got.

I mean...

Never mind.

What you mean is that you are glad that they only got rid of the one boob on their tribe rather than the two.

I concur with that sentiment.

It started in 2000. There are two seasons each year.

Still wondering what happened to Garrett’s ii —

Has it been swooped up and rehidden or is it still in the bag and still in play.

I always thought they re-hid the idol, but I could be wrong.

In four more years, they’ll be having contestants who were born when it first aired.

The re-hide the idols that are used - sometimes. Garrett left his in his bag or somewhere at camp. Surely, someone has snooped in his stuff and found it unless he stashed it elsewhere which means it’s likely lost forever.

Jeff’s zinger this week was to The Not-So-Brainy Team, “I’ll miss you at TC.” I thought for sure they’d lose again what with J’Tia throwing the bucket sideways or upside down. Nuclear engineer, my aunt fanny. She’d have trouble finding her way out of a paper bag. Spencer lived another day.

Morgan’s been out there, what, like 10 days and she hasn’t looked again for the clue?!? But LJ wades out to snag it without any hint other than Morgan had been there Day 1.

Am I losing my mind, again? At TC, the ones who were tied in the vote didn’t get to vote on the second round which is how it should be. However, last season they got to vote, right? IIRC, last season was wrong in the runoff vote but I guess Mark wanted to save someone but can’t remember who that was.

You’d have thought someone would have checked the almanac before leaving home to see if it was monsoon season and been reinforcing the roof every day with more and more leaves. I guess because of the cameras they can’t enclose the hut but I’d still have tried to build the roof out further to fend off as much rain as possible. Heck, pile leaves around myself for insulation from the cold, wind and rain. Once you’re soaked through, the ocean would be the warmest place around but I’ve never seen anyone swim in the rain. Did I see shoes filling up with rain? What idiot leaves their shoes out like that? At least Tony realized the rain provided drinking water.

And point the hut away from the wind.

Most beach side huts survivors build tend to face the water and for the most part it is a plus. At night you get a gentle breeze to help blow away insects. Little help though when a storm rolls in from the water.

The tribes tend to favor large roomy shelters with a roof more suited for shade than repelling water.

A better method would be to build a smaller A frame shelter with raised platform. Have the open ends face the water and the jungle. Put a good roof on it. Weave a couple mats in a triangle that you can use to block the end the wind is coming from.

For shade during the day you could put a light bamboo frame up in the trees and throw shade material up on them.

But that would take work and from what we've seen for the past couple dozen seasons, work is beneath them.

Not much more work then they are doing now.

They have gathered most of the materials and put them “together” but just poorly.

Has it been swooped up and rehidden or is it still in the bag and still in play.

Seems to me that we'd have seen other contestants wearing left behind clothing before now for blindsided players. The only time I recall seeing other players wearing former contestant clothing is when someone gives it away before tribal. If nothing else, those left behind bags would have been seen while members were gathering food.

I suspect that the bag is retrieved while the camera crews are setting up for the after tribal interviews, and likely makes it back to the Ponderosa before the tribe makes it back from tribal.
