Just found out there was a special Survivor episode aired tonight at 8, EST. And I missed it. Not sure if it's a recap up until this point, which is early on, since I'm not pulling up good info from the TV Guide website or a brand new episode.
So if you're a Survivor fan and watched tonight, please post what I missed.
Thanks a lot. If we have enough members watching Survivor this Fall, perhaps we can keep this thread going with weekly discussions.

Brent - whew! Thanks for responding. We have Joey programmed in our DVR, otherwise this would have been recorded! We usually just watch and tape Survivor on another TV/VCR, depending upon if our kids can finish up their Thursday night homework load by 8. Just glad to know I didn't miss anything....Tazzy, we can relax now!!! No one voted off since Dolly was (which BTW was a twist, but a welcome one!).

Hi MrsPackie - welcome to the boards!!!
I'm a newbie at the Survivor thing....I jumped aboard during All-Stars, the whole Rob/Amber thing had me intriqued. My husband and one daughter are such Survivor fanatics, have watched from the very first one. Now they've hooked me. So I have nothing to compare this one to, but they both say it's okay, not great. I asked if this is the first time they've divided the men from the women, they said yes. So I'm hoping they shake the tribes up. Something, anything. I've read on other message boards fans need someone like Richard to really hate to get enthused with this Survivor! I do know who Richard is....I've been hearing about HIM for a long time now. LOL
I'll stick it out though......I'm probably one of the last remaining Cincinnatian's to get hooked. This town goes nuts for Survivor and city by city ratings, we're the highest in the ratings/viewing dept. Probably didn't phrase that right.....LOL
I'd like to find someone like Rupert to admire too.

Survivor Says Goodbye, Dolly
by Ethan Alter
Don't cry for Dolly Neely, America. Truth is, the 25-year-old Pennsylvania sheep farmer (and Cindy Brady lookalike) was happy to be the second contestant voted off Survivor: Vanuatu.
"I was so relieved," she laughs. "On the way to tribal council, I was thinking, 'You know, this just isn't for me.' I didn't like everyone coming to me and saying, 'Who are you voting for?' and 'Who should I vote for?' My first thought was, 'Whoa boy, get me out of here!'"
Aside from all the backstabbing intrigue, Neely was also troubled by her tribe's generational split. Right from the start, the younger women stuck together, while the older ones formed their own group. "The first night, Julie, Mia and myself were laughing and giggling. Twila, Scout and Leanne were kind of doing their own thing, too," she recalls. "[The split] happened very, very quickly."
Unlike the other players in her age bracket, however, Neely feels she got along with both the younger and older folks. Asked if she planned to use this to her advantage, the kindly shepherdess shakes her head. "I wasn't even thinking about that," she insists. "I was just thinking 'Hey, I'm getting along with everyone. I'll probably get through this whole thing without even one vote!' But, of course, it turned out to be the total opposite."
Since leaving Vanuatu, Neely has returned to her grandfather's 90-acre sheep farm, which she's run by herself since he passed away in November 2003. "It's mostly a morning job, except when we're having lambs," she explains. "Then it's all day because you never know when they'll be popping out. In general, it's just typical maintenance work. You have to feed the sheep, shear them, clip their hooves. You have to give them medicine when they need it. If a mother doesn't make milk, you've got to feed the babies, raise 'em to about 75 or 100 lbs. and send 'em off to be eaten.
"I have around 40 to 50 sheep at any given time, and I've got one guy that helps me out with some of the tougher things," she continues. "I love every minute of it." One farming skill she hasn't mastered is harvesting poultry, as evidenced on last week's episode, when her tribe tried and failed to catch a chicken that had wandered into their camp.
"I threw a rock at it," she remembers, "but that chicken must have been immortal because it was pelted with a rock and stabbed with a machete and it still managed to escape!" Maybe she'd have had more luck if that foul fowl had been covered in wool....

Sunday Oct. 17:
Finally watched Thursday, Oct. 14th's episode. Where Bubba gets voted off. Thankfully ABC reairs Survivor on Saturday nights, otherwise we would have missed this week's episode (programming glitch).
That said, we now can't stand Ami! What is her problem? Nearly everyone wanted the tribes mixed up and didn't quite care for the all one gender tribes. We never had a problem with her before, until we watched this past episode. She came across as a complete b*tch. Oops, hope I can post that!!! LOL Twila seemed so happy to be with the guys - calling them 'dudes', it was cute. She never bothered me at all.
I still want Chad to win. Another quiet one, that doesn't get a lot of attention is Julie - she works hard, doesn't argue with others, doesn't complain. I've decided I like contestants who are like this.
But I wonder.....since this was the first time we heard Ami complaining (could have used a different word here), did she do this in the past but it was never shown on TV? I wonder if the producers intentionally choose a member they want to portray in a negative way each week.
Oh, we were discussing Survivor on Duckie's Will & Grace thread, so I thought we should swing the Survivor talk back to the Survivor thread. But if anyone wants to catch up on what we discussed on her topic, go to:
