These stunning cities of the past stand as clues to a mystery thousands of years old. While Europe was in the dark ages, it was the Maya who harnessed the knowledge of the stars, and the celestial movements, to create a mystical union of man, nature and the gods. It was a world of great kings, elaborate ceremonies, fierce battles, and even human sacrifice.
18 Survivors will be marooned within this mysterious and rugged terrain.
For the first time, the castaways will actually live within the ruins of a vanished civilization, and they will be forced to embrace the ancient Maya lifestyle.
Join us as the adventure continues with:

I don't know ... the ladies of this Survivor don't seem to have that "Ya-Ya Sisterhood" thing between them. They don't trust each other.
Or, more likely..the editors have carefully concealed it from us..
Unfortunately, StepheME doesn't want any alliance with Danni and Cindy doesn't see the writing on the wall. If Cindy were smart, she would align herself with Gary and Danni and work to swing Rafe away from the "Axis of Evil" alliance. But I'm afraid the next boots will be Gary, Danni and then Cindy. Unless of course someone stops Rafe from pulling an Immunity sweep.
Or Rafe joins the "XX chromosome " alliance
Hate Lydia, hate Lydia, hate Lydia.
Thats a bit harsh isn't it? After all she is vertically challenged.
She is a leech, does nothing, drags everyone down, and when she has to show some ethics she sells her friend down the river.
She is Lil part 2.
Hate Lydia
Wishing you all a filling and happy Thanksgiving.
Psst! Don’t forget Survivor is on tonight! So make sure you tune in or set your TiVos or VCRs.

Happy Thanksgiving Cuz, and thanks for this thread.

Most appreciated ping, cuz
Did I hear Rafe say he was a Gay Mormon?????
Yep, you heard him say it. I was sorry to see my favorite player get voted off tonite.
are we the only ones watching tonight? I am so sorry that Gary was voted off tonight. Stephanie needs to go and quick for anyone else to have a chance.
I like Rafe. It is just unsettling to hear gay Mormon. I wonder how he reconciles that within his heart and church. Not that there is anything wrong with being gay...
I watched, but on the Left Coast.
I think Rafe is going to win. He hasn't really made anyone mad, and he has won quite a few challenges.
Good morning all! Its time for your:
The Xhakum Tribe: (Red buffs)
Cindy, Danni, Judd, Lydia, Rafe, StepheME
The Jury:
Bobby Jon, Jamie, Gary
The Losers:
Jim, Morgan, Brianna, Brooke, Blake, Margaret, Brian, Amy, Brandon
The show opens with the tribe returning from “blindsiding” Jamie. Judd is still shell shocked about the Jamie boot and nothing the tribe can say or do seems to pacify him. He confesses “I’m pi$$ed off man. It makes me wonder what’s going on.” Meanwhile Gary admits, "There is no doubt I dodged a bullet tonight." While Rafe gloats, "It just feels like all is right in SURVIVOR world."
The next morning, Gary starts right in on Lydia, trying to sway her to his and Danni’s side. However, Judd overhears them talking and right away finks Lydia out to StepheME, Rafe and Cindy. Since Gary had earlier discussed with Judd and StepheME his desire to “take the strongest 4 to final 4”, Judd now thinks that Gary can not be trusted, declaring to the camera, "The least person you would expect to lie is basically the biggest liar." No Judd, you are still the biggest liar.
Lydia, meanwhile comments to the camera "If somebody approaches me with a better deal, I'm going with it."
The tribe is then called to the Reward Challenge. Jeff explains the rules: “Each Survivor has three hanging pots filled with corn. Each Survivor who correctly answers a question about Maya culture and Guatemala can smash a tribemate's pot. The last person with a pot left hanging wins. The reward: a natural hot-water waterfall retreat with a tropical feast and a full body massage.”
Lydia, is first to eliminate a player and picks StepheME, commenting that StepheME has had more than her share of food rewards. Well this just doesn’t sit well with little Miss “Queen of the tribe” and she voices her displeasure with a catty "Jealousy gets you nowhere!" After more shattered pots, Cindy wins the Reward and chooses to take Rafe with her on reward, leaving Lydia to contend with StepheME’s wrath back at camp.
And what a wrath it is. Between wolfing down mouthfuls of corn to emphasis her point, StepheME cuts loose with such venom that if the camera had cut to a snake slithering through the forest, I wouldn’t have been surprised. She concludes with a snippy "Oh Boo hoo for Lydia…. You're lucky you're still in the game." Followed with an even more telling "If you think a Challenge like this is not going to show me where your loyalties lie, you are sadly mistaken." Will someone please boot this witch before she gets any further in the game! PLEASE! Gary meanwhile confirms Lydia’s contention about StepheME’s obsession with food, with a simple "She eats so much corn and nuts, it is amazing."
The camera then cuts to Cindy and Rafe enjoying the Reward. Stuffing their faces with shish kabobs and tropical drinks, swimming and showering under the hot waterfall and then relaxing with a full body massage. Rafe comments that "It was such an amazing experience!" I got news for you bucko! You would have enjoyed it more if you weren’t gay.
Later that day, when Rafe and Cindy return to camp, they can see that the tensions hadn’t let up. Lydia is feeling more and more like an outsider and StepheME is treating her like one of her lowly subjects, parking her butt on a pyramid and ordering her lowly subject to bring her water. I half expected Lydia to spit into the cup ala “Roots” but I guess that was too much to ask. Rafe comments about Lydia’s ouster from the alliance with "The next few days are crucial for Lydia, because it means she could go really far or is one of the next people to go."
The tribe is then called to the Immunity Challenge. Jeff spins a tale about Maya folklore and instructs the players to proceed to huts scattered about. Inside each hut is a puzzle which when put together reveals a question about the story. Choose the right answer and reveal a flag to be hung on the starting platform. Choose the wrong answer and reveal a stick that must be placed into a fire. The first person to hang all seven flags wins immunity.
Jeff tells his tale of woe and starts the players on their way. Rafe and Gary seem to be neck and neck throughout the challenge while the rest struggle to answer the questions correctly. In the end, Rafe pulls out yet another win to claim the ugly necklace. While it seemed to be a race to the finish, Gary reveals in one of his post game interviews that he was hung up at the last hut he needed by another player, whereas Rafe didn’t have to wait.
I won’t even get into Rafe’s comments about being a gay Mormon and winning his third Immunity Challenge.
We next see the typical “testing of the Alliances” just before Tribal Council. Gary tries to swing Rafe away from the dominate alliance. Lydia worries that she is in fact the next boot. Danni worries that she is the next to go. And Queen StephME smugly quips about her power in the tribe, "It's like a dream almost come true, but it almost seems too good to be true."
At Tribal Council, Lydia tries to state her case against StepheME, while Gary supports her with a comment about everybody making sure they get StepheME’s autograph. Before success goes to her head! Judd accuses Gary of lying to the tribe, and Gary in turn exposes Judd for the lying snake he really is with “You want to know what a lie is? Hey guys, the mini idol is on the ground. When in fact I found it up in a tree. That’s what a lie is!” Everyone looked shocked at this revelation. Everyone except StepheME that is! But in the end, it couldn’t save Gary from being sacked on Thanksgiving night.
This is the point where I usually would list the comments made during voting and Gary’s final comments but is seems the SeeBS webmaster has had a little too much cheer last Thursday and the videos don’t work. If they get fixed, by Thursday, I’ll post them with my Weekly Picks.
Until then, Take care,
FReepmail me if you want added to, or removed from the one, the only, Official Survivor Ping List.
Stuffame is nice to look at, but she really does feel superior to everyone. She needs to go. I wanted Gary to win
Question: are all gay Mormons polygamous?
polyorifice LOL
