Did you read some of those comments after Jeff's blog? I wonder if she does keep her job at the Y. How would you like to have her for a personal trainer? One comment was that Russell was evil in the game, and he may be an a-hole in real life, but Naonka is just plain evil. She's like a train wreck, you just can't look away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I couldn't help it, I got spoiled. If they are true, I am left scratching my head. I don't know how to do the black-out thing so I am not posting it. I don't think I want to be spoiled for next season, but this one I don't really care too much about.

I read a couple of the comments after the blog but not many. You have me curious so now I have to go and read them!

Thanks for not posting whatever spoiler you read. I'm horribly weak. I can stay away from links but there's something about that blacked out strip of words that speaks my name. It's too dang tempting!

Lol, I know what you mean!

Thinking back, I can't quite remember if those comments were from Jeff's blog or the spoiler site.

Careful, there were some spoiler stuff in the comments that I didn't want to read. I'm going to be spoiler free again. It makes the shows more enjoyable to not know who's going to go each week.

You're right. As soon as I read one spoilerish thing, I hightailed it outta there but quick. :taz:

I'm so confused...both from this post and from online info. Is there another Survivor being filmed right now that has Russell and my Rob in it? Or are people still talking about the last one with Villains and Heroes?

I was a bit surprised Jimmy got the boot but it seems everyone voted for him to go. Thought he had more on his side. If I was on this season I would be on the Old people tribe but I can't find one person on there that I want to win.
In fact I want to see them lose every challenge cuz they are a bunch of dufuses to listen to Marty. He was so obvious in his jealousy of Jimmy J. Not that I liked Jimmy J...never even heard of him till now.

Whooo that Naonka is crude...she reminds me of some of BB's Hg's from this season. Hope she goes fast. I do like Fabio...right now I'm rooting for him but I dont see him lasting long.

I LOVE the old lady that started fire the first episode. Can't remember her name but she's great.

Lexi, upthread in post #10 I spoiled some of the next Survivor. The Feb premiere season is finished filming around the end of Sept. (Sometimes they film Nov/Dec but I think they are trying to save money by filming two seasons *nearly* back-to-back.) Usually I don't spoil, but this is gonna be marketed bigtime so it's not a spoiler issue, imo.

kminfinty thanks for clearing it up....when I came in to post about this current survivor I did see some mention of rob and russell and just skimming the posts to get to this years I thought it was the old survivor. I don't mind spoilers so I'm glad u mentioned it ;)

Buh-bye, Jimmy T. We're gonna miss ya. NOT!!! :butkick:

Thank GOD they got rid of that annoying blowhard. The man was simply delusional if he thinks he's a leader.

My faves at the moment are Jane, Tyrone, and Brenda. I'm soooo glad that Brenda told Chase(?) they already found the idol. I would love her to get out of the Naonka alliance and get in with someone a little more likable. Naonka's just downright mean!

I hate when they start with 20 (unless it's all-stars). It's so darn hard to get to know people. Since I've been avoiding spoilers I was actually confusing Jimmy T and Dan for an episode.

I can't even remember who Brenda and Jane are. Only fave so far is Tyrone.

Brenda is the pretty young half-Asian chick from the younger tribe who found the idol with Naonka. Jane is the older, white-haired VERY countrified lady on the older team who started the first fire, seems to have a really great attitude, and is very thin yet tough.

I can see you getting Dan and Jimmy T. mixed up. They're both old farts who are rather useless. Although Jimmy T. seems WAY more annoying. :P

The tribe switch up was a nice change. Fun to watch the laid back younger tribe members mixing with the more routined older members. Jane cracked me up with her comments about liking the younger members, and that Jill and Marty always chatterboxing. Cool that Holly bonded with her younger members. Everytime I see Holly I think of the shoe incident and can't believe she's still there.

As much as I hate to admit it, Naonka's breakdown did soften me to her a little. And I'm glad she didn't decide to leave. I hate it when they opt out of the game.

I was hoping Marty's tribe wouldn't win immunity to see if they would try to blindside him, or at least flush out that idol he so proudly displayed.

Bendry is a guy I hardly took any notice of before tonight... sometimes it feels like they sneak players in midway just to see how well we're paying attention...

Fun challenges tonight. Giant pachinko and then dunk-them-and-make-them-aim-and-spit-into-a-tube-while-spinning-around-fast.

I hate Naonka.

It was nice to see such a different type of challenge...I was wondering though why the team wasn't getting those girls off the wheel when that part was done.

I double hate Naonka and wish she would have quit. Can't imagine her as a teacher. Glad that other medal...what was it called that gave the team who had it an edge in challenges, is gone. Just didn't care for that new edition.

And wtf??? was wrong with James? Where did all this bossiness come from? I don't think Marty is going to be in very long..not that I've read any spoilers...he's another I'd like to see go.

It was a good thing they changed the groups up because we would have probably had week after week of seeing the oldsters lose.

How cool was that windmill challenge? OMG. Brutal! Loved it.

Marty needs to go and soon.

Dax--I never noticed that one dude until last night either. I thought his name was Benry. The hubby and I were joking that he got his name from Lost. :P

Bilki--the shoe incident seems a long way off, doesn't it? I'm glad that Holly got over that crazy, psycho phase fairly quickly as I like her.

Who is James? LOL. (But seriously, who is that???) KMI is right.....too dang many people to remember. Fabio has the whitest teeth.....what a cutie!

What made me soften towards Naonka even more was that she and Alina seem to be bonding now that they're in the new tribe. Hopefully they can let bygones be bygones. Not that I'm a Naonka fan or anything! :no:

Could be wrong but I thought I heard in the beginning that his name is Ben Henry. Don't know if the tribe gave him the nickname like they did Fabio or if it was the name he already used but I wonder how the other guy feels about being called Fabio. He seems like such a laid back guy that it wouldn't matter.

Jud definitely embraced the 'Fabio' thing. It's really funny that it's now how he's identified on-screen and in the opening...

I would have died if I had to do that windmill challenge. I was also screaming at the TV when they stopped the windmills and had them underwater. Idiots!

I can't stand Naonka. OMG that woman is terrible. She needs to go. I also can't stand Marty. Ugh!

I'm not sure what happened to Tyrone. I got the feeling that he was just a laid back good guy and them WHAM they make him out to be the big bad. Oh well. Nice editing CBS.

"Benry's here baby" - best line of the night! I liked Tyrone before, but I don't know what happened cause he was a grouchy old fart after the merge. Not sorry to see him go if that is they way he was going to be. Naonka - big eye roll, give me a break. I do not feel sorry for her at all.

Gotta say...loys of old school survivor players have a strong work ethic. Go back to good ole Rudy. Tyrone would fit in well with some of the winners. He's a fire chief CAPTAIN for goodness sakes, of course he's goal oriented and work focused. So CBS sometimes shows that attitude in a positive light and sometimes not. It isn't always what we see, unfortunately, as gate said abt the editing!

The players that *go with the flow* are often playing strong social games though.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I can't believe they went through all that to flush out Marty's idol and kept that idiot around. UGH! What kind of threat is Kelly B at this point of the game? Those people gave me a headache!

Jane cracks me up! Naonka can be funny, too. She's growing me.....

I know...me and hubby were sitting there saying wtf??? Is it that hard to think reasonably out there? I sometimes wonder if I would think differently if I weren't sitting all cozy in my living room. Cuz I just can't think of any other reason that some of these people make such bonehead moves.

Do they not think Marty is going to be a bit pissed? and they were more afraid of Kelly getting sympathy votes at this stage than Marty gunning for them?

I wonder if Naonka getting less face time to spout her nastiness is why she doesn't "seem" as crude as prior episodes.

Can I just add OT....that I'm sick of sports taking the place of some of my shows....wish they were all on just a sports channel :(

Big agree. I used to get so mad when they would pre-empt GL for a week for tennis. Seriously, who is home during the day? Women. How many women want to watch tennis instead of their story?

Naonka has seemed a little nicer lately.

Crud board ate my post. My mom likes watching tennis and doesn't mind that pre-emption, of course she hasn't watched soaps in about 30 years. The CBS tennis event airings are on Labor Day and the Friday of that week, considering how many people are away on Labor Day not having an episode makes sense.

With Survivor this year, I wonder how they will handle Thanksgiving week, will we get a recap show?

Lexilani the pre-emptions this year on FOX for baseball (if that is what you are talking about) aren't so bad as the wild card games and the American league games have been on TBS. FOX only has the National League games and the World Series. I think the worst with that and soaps was back in 1990, CBS had the playoffs and World Series, they pre-empted GL for some of the playoff games. Even though I didn't watch GL then, I remember the ads about how don't worry GL will be back once the games are over, and from looking at a baseball statistics site, there were four day games in a row Friday, and then M-W that year. UGH!

BL (who admits that pre-emptions can be annoying especially the ones for non-news like bad weather, but ones that are scheduled I prepare for ahead of time.)

Okay, I like Marty. Also liking Fabio, and Chase, and Holly.

Not liking Jill or Brenda. Really really not liking Brenda.

Haha......she's growing on me, too. Something she said had us cracking up. She has a delivery that is hysterical when it's not mean spirited. And Jane is just so cool and good natured, what's not to like? Don't let that Southern, countrified way fool you though.....I think Jane is much smarter than she is given credit for!

Lexilani--I think it's a safe bet to say that yeah, you would think differently if you were out there 24/7 rather than at home all snuggly on the couch watching. You couldn't pay me to go on Survivor. I wouldn't last a day! :P

How funny was Fabio getting all caught up in Marty's rhetoric? Loved that! He is too cute.
