SURVIVOR: PALAU
premiering Thursday, February 17 at 8 pm ET/PT.

Greetings Survivor FReeks!

Its time once again for a new season of Survivor!

“Twenty Americans are stranded in Palau, the South Pacific paradise some call the 8th natural wonder of the world, where colorful wildlife, dense jungles and an underwater world beyond belief are haunted by the wreckage and remnants of World War II.
From the beginning, the game will be changed in a dramatic way: everything the Survivors have come to expect will be wiped out in the first 10 minutes.
Who will outwit, outplay, and outlast all others in Palau?”

According to the official website, there will only be one tribe (at least for starters) and three contestants will get the boot during the first show.

Should be interesting!

[mystery-ak]

LOL....who?

[junkyarddawg]

I get the feeling that bobby john changed his vote and voted for Ib the first time

[rintense]

Based on tonight's ep, it should be obvious who goes next week.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Glad to see him go.

I think that Steph made a mistake although she could redeem herself by explaining that she had given her word to James first and kept it. And then in the tie breaker she kept her word to Bobby Jon.

[mystery-ak]

I know...I was kidding....

[HighWheeler]

That would be great to know someone on Survivor. They should have picked you, but I think they pick only 4 people with a triple digit IQ for each show.

[rintense]

I didn't see it. Did he vote for Ib? If so, now it should be VERY obvious who goes next week.

[rintense]

Now what did I tell you about flattery! ;)

[mystery-ak]

Steph does have some explaining to do, unless she and Ib vote Bobby Jon off next week...Hmmm!

[junkyarddawg]

They didn't show how they voted the first time only the final. is that right or did i miss something

Reward Challenge winner – Koror ~Augh! You got one wrong! Is this a sign of the Apocalypse?

Immunity Challenge winner - Koror ~yes ok breathing returning to normal.

Bootee(s) - James? or Ibrehem? It could go either way, but I’m going with James getting the boot. ~yes. Ok everybody can relax. Not the Apocalypse. Just a little gas.

Only a 66% for tonight.

But you have a 85% overall so we are still good.

[HighWheeler]

I think you should apply again.

BTW, when are we going to have ice cream?

[rintense]

Ooooh! Ice cream! As soon as it gets over 70 here. Plan on July. ;)

[EllaMinnow]

Ha! I love how they showed us Katie doing macrame at the beginning of the episode, then didn't mention it again while she used those knot-tying skills in the immunity challenge.

[MomwithHope]

James was worthless in so many challenges. I remember he planned their bathroom and lost, couldn't win in the sumo challenge even against a gay guy, tonight said he could shoot and missed every one, said he could tie an inpenetrable knot. As soon as he said that I knew that knot would fail. What a jerk. He said he based his vote on personality not performance, stoopid! Then he was surprised and said he had done well on the show. Geez am I glad he is gone.
Just think next week Korror will only have to use 3 people for immunity challenge and 3 for reward. They will be well rested. Plus it looks like Tom got that shark he wanted. See you all next week.

Reward Challenge winner – Koror

wait Ulong won the Reward..right?

[Lee'sGhost]

"Maybe after I earn my black belt."

Not sure how that relates? I applied for Survivor about two years ago. I think the reason I didn't get picked is because I submitted my video toward the end of the application period. They don't bring in that many people to start with, so I'm sure that once they meet their quota they quit looking at videos.

Anyway, I was a brown belt when I applied (have recently earned my sho dan). I kept thinking it would be fun to practice kata in slow motion -- sort of like tai chi -- in the mornings if had made it to survivor. Taking a month off to do four or five katas every morning would not have been a bad thing for my karate.

Regardless, enjoy your journey. It is a very worthy goal that few people ever experience.

" then didn't mention it again while she used those knot-tying skills in the immunity challenge."

Good catch and very interesting. The show missed a great op with that one.

I think Steph has been the strongest woman ever to play the game. She doesn't back down from anything and has physically outperformed most of the guys on both teams. She may not be a classic beauty but her smarts and game make her a 10 in my eyes.

[cuz_it_aint_their_money]

I would like to see one tribe run into extinction for once on this show. Sheesh, these merges are a joke.

At the risk of getting everyone mad at me for spoiling the show, the spoiler websites are saying that this is exactly what happens. Ulong gets down to 2 people and loose Immunity again. Since they can’t vote for themselves, Probst has a Q&A at Tribal Council with the looser getting the boot and the winner spending the night alone back at camp. The next day, Probst moves that person over to Koror and from that point on, everyone competes for Individual Immunity.

didn't cuz say Koror won this challenge...
Yep. Cuz finally got one wrong.
cuz had Koror winning this challenge....
Yep, got it wrong this time.
Yep, he did!
wait Ulong won the Reward..right?

Yes, I, your humbly Cuz not only got this one wrong, but had the Immunity and Reward Challenges reversed as well. I know, I know, my bad! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll just go over and stand in the corner for an hour or two as my punishment. < slinks off with head hung low>

BTW rintense, I too applied for the show, three times in fact and three times never even made it to the first round interviews. What ticks me off even more is that the producers claim that they can’t find enough “good” applicants for the show, so they have to go out and “recruit” people. Like this season, for instance. According to Wanda’s post show interview on Good Morning America, 7 of the 20 folks on this show were hand picked (read recruited) by the producers. These are people who never sent in an application, and most of them had never even watched a show in their life.

Let’s face it, if you’re not one of the “beautiful people” you can forget about getting on the show.

Ok, I’ll go back to standing in the corner again.

Take care all, I’ll be back Monday with my Recap.

Cuz < off standing in the corner>

[mystery-ak]

Oh, come out of the corner...we forgive you...LOL.....how can we be mad at you, you do such a great job every week....
