SURVIVOR: ALL STARS

[Central Scrutiniser]

I love SurvivorSucks, got a hundred or so posts under my most recent name....

[mystery-ak]

They finally won immunity..

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

What was the reward challange?

I missed the first half.

[mystery-ak]

I hate Rob M, too bad he will not be voted off.

[NYTexan]

Thanks for the ping!

Glad to Rupert And his tribe get a break tonight.

[inflorida]

Each person had a box full of items that matched another member's item. One by one they would ask someone else if they had an item. If they did, a point for their team.
Reward was a "toilet", "shower", and toiletries such as mouthwash, shampoo, etc.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

What is with the pink skin patches? The Robs look like they have a skin condition.

[mystery-ak]

Now I remember why I hated Boston Rob so much...

[mystery-ak]

I think their skin peeled from sunburn.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

He is a twit. But it is cute the way he blushed at TC.

But still he is a twit.

I just want the Survivor Rule to hold, "No Robs may win"

[mystery-ak]

Well, he just stabbed Rob C in the back.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Thanks. Well at least one Rob won't win. Bye bye Rob C

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Par for the course. I would not want to go to merge with him at my back.

[mystery-ak]

looks like some kind of merge next week

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Two tribes out of the three?

[Central Scrutiniser]

I don't like either Rob, but would have liked to see Sue on her dumb Wisconsin ass.

I would have filleted Jerri and sautee'd her, no great loss.

Wow, ten times better than any of the previous episodes, that’s my first impression. Saboga finally got the wake up call they desperately needed, Mogo Mogo continued to play to be in the game, and Chapera finally lost a battle.

One hopes that this is a sign of editing to come; good mix of the various tribes throughout the episode. Much better than previous episodes where it was as if there were just two tribes playing.

So we open with the cousin of all storms; do I expect bigger storms? Yeah, I do. I almost wish I had tracked storms during the filming. Chapera does well enough; they certainly had enough supplies to do so. Mogo Mogo fared well enough as well. Saboga… Well, perhaps the pool might do well if they win the reward challenge. Jerri looked like for a moment there that she was about to call for the damn boat.

Hey, there’s a box at the tree.. Might it contain bugs for an eating challenge? We’re treated to that threat by Rob C, bringing immediate disgust from Sue. Ahh well, we’re back to the infamous Go-Fish challenge from the Amazon.

Reward Challenge: Match Game
Task: Match items in your box with the items in the boxes of others.
Reward: A bunch of hygiene supplies for the winner, first and second place get a clue to one of the keys to the rice box.

Winner: Chapera (making their third key and rice heaven, along with the bath)
Saboga came in second (finally) and got their second key.

Hey, there’s Chapera bathing. Wow, look, Boston Rob actually has his hands on a woman’s bare back. Thank you, Amber and Rob, for not treating us to a private bathing. After the SuperBowl, we really didn’t need that.

Immunity Challenge: Blind People Puzzle
Task: A caller directs three blindfolded tribemates in the task of gathering the puzzle pieces and putting them into the tribe’s box. Once all the pieces are gathered, assemble the pieces into a 3-d puzzle.

Winner: Saboga, Mogo Mogo came in second.

Chapera went to the tribal council. Rob C, pretty sure he had made an alliance with Rob M, happily voted for Alicia. Everyone else voted for Rob C. A backstab. Shocking.

Commentary: Rule one of Survivor: Outwit. If there are three people on your tribe who may be going home, what should you do? The only obvious thing: get together to vote against the strongest personality in the ‘A’ group. From the first game, this has been the most evident rule of the game, and from the first game, people have failed to understand this simple rule.

Perhaps this is the twist that Richard thinks he’ll use against the tribe when Mogo Mogo makes their first appearance at tribal council - a gathering of the losers to overthrow the winners. I won’t be holding my breath in the assumption that such a thing would happen.

It was rather surprising that there was really nothing made of Jenna M’s leaving; not much was said at any point during the episode about the issues. I suppose that was for the best, and it might actually indicate that See-BS actually has a heart. Either that or it indicates that the other players just felt like she wanted to go home.

I’ve also come to the conclusion that I really need to get a TIVO or a ReplayTV set up; the old VCR just isn’t cutting it anymore.

For those who have interest, a broadband inclination, and a vague amount of technical skill, alt.binaries.reality-tv on usenet has the episodes of Survivor as they come out; Season 1 was recently posted, and season 2 is being posted right now. You can also catch The Apprentice on there as well. alt.binaries.multimedia seems to be the backup group for the postings.

usenetserver.com and easynews.com are two services that offer reasonable prices for full usenet access.

Anyway, hope everyone enjoyed the show, and I’m eager to read what others thought of it.

[Lee'sGhost]

Yes, you are crazy.

[beaureguard]

That was the best Survivor AllStar by far. Glad Rupert & tribe finally won immunity.

Also glad to see that Rupert seemed to be toning himself down this week.

[SoothingDave]

Also glad to see that Rupert seemed to be toning himself down this week.

He still feels compelled to attach that maniacal cackle onto the end of everything he says.

"Today was 100 per cent better than yesterday. Hoo Hoo Hoo Haw Haw Haw"
