Survivor thread; Repeats to OLN July 24th(See Page 14)

[Brent]

Mary... put that tape in ASAP!!!

Don't read anymore either




























Ulong I believe will be the next "Pagonged" tribe(anyone who watched the first Survivor knows what I'm talking about). The opposing tribe, Tagi, stuck together with a voting alliance of Richard Hatch, Sue Hawk, Rudy, and Kelly. After the merge they picked off all the Pagong members one by one and were the final four.

One last question... how can Ulong kick Koror's tail at the reward challenge and then lose immunity?

[Miss Mary]

Eric - LOL!!! Thursday nights just always seem to have tons of homework. And our rule is do it first, then watch TV. Laura wanted us to wait and watch with her. Don't blame her, it is fun to watch it with other fans. We started it by 9:30......we were watching Austin Powers on TBS before she finally finished up....LOL Talk about another time warp....

Anyways, we still have to put with Kim.....oops I mean Lynnette from Desperate Housewives....a TV critic over at TV Guide asked if he was the only one that thought Kim looked just like Lynnette! She does, that's all I can think of.....if Felicity Huffman ever needs a lil sister......next I don't buy her saying there's not much she can do, oh give me a break. Go collect firewood, cook, clean up, something! Don't whine about it.

Sorry to see Jeff go...I've sprained my ankles plenty and that had to hurt.

Tonight's challenges were brutal to watch, especially that last one. Exhausting!

One final comment - we are sick to death of seeing people in their underwear!!! Note to self......if I ever get on Survivor, buy new undies.....just kidding.....I would never even dream of competing! But it is fun to watch. I'm just sick of speedo's, dinky bra's, boobs hanging out.....I'm glad my kids aren't little, otherwise I may have to not let them watch!

Study hard, Nina and Laura and keep up the GREAT work on those A's!!
VERY proud of you gals!!!

What ever will poor Kim do now without her snugglebear to help keep her warm at night?! Guess no Kiff like a Romber in this series!

At least Ulong won the sewing kit to help with patching up loose ends!

Eric

[Miss Mary]

Yeah, now hopefully they'll sew some new duds....bigger than the size of a potholder!!!

Kim's on the chopping block next week. Unless they win immunity.

A thought crossed my mind.....Jeff's ankle didn't look swollen to me. Based upon how my ankles have swollen after sprains and twists. Then again he is young and this could be his first sprain. But I have a nagging feeling he was either putting on more pain than he had or he didn't sprain it at all, or it really is sprained. Remember Johnny Fairplay? I didn't watched that series but I've heard ALL about him from my family. How he made everyone believe him.

Poor Jeff....I do want to believe him.

Mary

[Brent]

Oh Johnny Fairplay... the greatest lie ever told, complete with tears.

But seriously, Jeff was defintely not exaggerating. The reason Fairplay did it was to get sympathy and try to get further in the game. Jeff was being honest with the tribe that he can't put all his strength into a physical challenge like he had before.

Next week: One member from each tribe goes to the other tribe's camp, no other info, but it looks like the teams will be mixed up a bit. Koror will be up by 3 next week. It looks like no one from either tribe wants to go.

[Miss Mary]

Brent - since you've watched every Survivor, I'll trust he's telling the truth!

As Jeff hobbled off I said he's going to get an x-ray now....my family said - what? How do you know that? I said go the Survivor website.....they have docs, nurses, medical equipment on the island!!! Tent 'cities' for the crew I've read. LOL My family wants to pretend they're all roughing it, with no help for miles around. Okay, then!

Since I'm the newcomer to Survivor in the family, I'm usually teased for wanting to know more than they do.

They all said - he's going to a hotel Mom.....geez! Again, I said well, I imagine somewhere along the line he'll get that ankle looked at? Sure they said.....had the impression they thought a hot shower, good food and a decent bed were more important than ruling out a fx is!!! LOL

I don't think they wanted that bubble popped last night!

Mary

[Miss Mary]

Hey all - since we're discussing Jeff's injury and departure, thought you be interested in a write up about last night's episode:



From TV Guide's daily Watercooler column.....

For Thursday, March 3, 2005 shows....


Survivor

I was really hoping that Koror would win the reward challenge so they'd get material and a sewing kit 'cause Coby's starting to share on a Richard Hatch kind of level in his too small briefs. Speaking of the nudist former winner, there hasn't been a great crazy shark-hunting episode since All-Stars when that bitty baby shark took a hunk out of the great white male. Gotta love Tom and Ian and their complete willingness to just try anything. Attack deadly venomous snakes? Sure. Try and kill fairly large sharks with only slightly sharpened sticks as weapons? Why not? Kick the butts of the Ulong tribe when it really matters for immunity? Not a problem. I knew that Tom's firefighting skills would make him a force to be reckoned with, but who knew that dolphin training bred such strong and well-rounded individuals? Makes me want to visit Sea World.

Meanwhile, I hope that Jeff decided to pay a visit to the infirmary to get that nasty ankle wound checked out right after Ulong bid him adieu. I would have rather seen him stick around for a bit longer instead of his bed buddy Kim, but the tribe has spoken. Maybe his injury will earn him a question on one of the new Pringles that have Survivor trivia printed on them. Yeah, I'm serious. I had to rewind and watch that commercial three times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating, and I'm still pretty sure I don't want my potato chips to talk back to me. Especially when they are asking questions about people who starved themselves for 30 days. I'm already guilty enough when I crack open a snack. I don't need more issues. — Angel Cohn

ruling out a fx is!!

Had to giggle to myself when I saw this...I'm not used to seeing medical abbreviations like this on S2K.

Goes back to my days of working in a med office. he he Could have also written R/O fx.....

My mom had me list her 7 daily - yes seven - meds for an Ortho appt. for her arm fx (there it is again!).......then we got down to her as needed meds (albuterol inhaler, etc.). I wrote PRN. She said - what's that? LOL

But I also figured I could slip that in here, afterall we abbreviate weather with an x!

Mary

[GalvestonDuck]

That's true.

It was just cute...I wasn't laughing AT you, of course.

[Miss Mary]

I knew you weren't Shawn....sometimes I miss my days around the medical world (spoken from the non-patient point of view ya know)!

Mary

[Pburgh]

Johnny Fairplay, lol. Remember when he pretended that his Grandmother had died!!!!!!!!! What a jerk he was.

Ian the dolphin boy is from Pittsburgh originally. They always say we are tough around here cause we have graphite in our blood from the steelmills.

Kim definitely should go. She is sooooooooooooooo lazy.
Who is the guy in Ulong with the dark hair and heavy southern accent??? He's a workaholic???? I think he's terrific.

That's James from Mobile

[Miss Mary]

James is growing on me.....I've dubbed him Gomer.....for the accent, not his IQ......he does seem like a hard worker. And could surprise everyone. Did you all catch his double take when his name came up at tribal council? I knew it was Jeff who voted him out. Rob, I mean Jeff, couldn't vote out Amber, I mean Kim......Kiff - like that nic Eric.

Mary

[Pburgh]

Mary, I don't think that's the one I mean. The one I like is the cute dark, curly haired guy. He was the one knocking the coconuts out of the tree.

Bobby Jon?

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor10 ... _jon.shtml

That's the guy that Kim Dontliftafinger watched knocking the coconuts from the tree.

[Miss Mary]

She means Bobby Jon!!! He's a cutie....while, well James is not quite the cutie, but not ugly either.....see why I call him Gomer? LOL

I like Tom....everytime he talks, he sounds like Boston Rob.

And my fave still remains Ian. He just seems to have the right attitude.

Didn't care for Coby's speedo's......we're all very tired of seeing their underwear. Even Jeff P. made mention of it. The reason we're seeing these things is b/c they weren't allowed to bring more than the clothes on their backs? Past Survivors were allowed to bring swimsuits weren't they?

I was thinking that Tom would have had Jeff beat in trying to get that inner tube from him...after all Tom had it around his waist in the very beginning of that challenge! LOL

[Miss Mary]

What a team player! TV Guide interviews Jeff.....turns out the ankle injury was legit and on top of an old injury. Poor guy!

Survivor Stud: He's Twisted
by Angel Cohn

http://www.tvguide.com/news/insider/

Before Survivor: Palau's Jeff Wilson twisted his ankle — by tripping over a coconut during a late-night bathroom break — he was one of the Ulong tribe's strongest members. But after that new injury flared up an old wound, the 21-year-old California boy asked his tribe mates to send him home. Not everyone agreed with his selfless decision — some even regarded it with suspicion — although Jeff insisted it would take his ankle weeks to heal. Here, TVGuide.com gets face time with the studly personal trainer to ask why he threw in the towel.

TVGuide.com: Have you fully recovered from your ankle injury?
Jeff Wilson: I'm better than I was. Painwise, I'd say about 95 percent.

TVG: How'd you injure your ankle the first time?
Jeff: I got run over by a truck. I broke my back and my pelvis and my ankle. I had stretched-out ligaments and tendons.

TVG: Ouch! You said you knew it would take weeks to heal. Did it take that long?
Jeff: It did.

TVG: No regrets about asking to be voted off?
Jeff: It was the right decision. Had I stayed in and tried to muscle it out and people were going home [in my stead], how great would that have been?

TVG: That's such a team attitude. Most Survivor players are more selfish.
Jeff: I've always been in athletics, so I'm competitive, but I do know how to work with a team. I know this game isn't about that, but at the beginning, it is about that. In my head, I knew that I wasn't going to be good, and I knew we'd probably go to tribal council again because I wouldn't be able to pull my weight. I saw the inevitable.

TVG: How'd you feel when some resisted going along with your plan?
Jeff: I don't take offense to it; it is actually nice that they [felt] compelled to keep me there. It is their opinion and everyone is entitled to their own. If people wanted Kim off, that's fine with me, too.

TVG: Really? Even though Kim was your cuddle buddy?
Jeff: Fine with me. It is a game. I wasn't going to be heartbroken if she went home, and I told her not to be if I did. It's a game, and the longest it lasts is 40 days.

TVG: Are you still friendly with her?
Jeff: Yeah. [Grins]

TVG: Is there something more between you?
Jeff: At this point, she still lives in Ohio, so...

TVG: So maybe you'd date in the future?
Jeff: [Smiles again] I don't see why not.

TVG: Will you ever eat coconuts again?
Jeff: Probably not for a while. I should have saved it as a souvenir, walking around with a big old coconut on the plane like Flavor Flav [with his clocks] on The Surreal Life. Plus, those things are brutal to eat. [Coconut] is a natural laxative. You eat no food, and the only thing you drink and eat is that. It's like, "Oh, food, good, um... I'll be right back."

TVG: Think you would've won if you hadn't been injured?
Jeff: I don't want to say that I would make it to the end, because that makes me sound arrogant, but I do think I probably would have gone pretty far.

TVG: Was there anything in nature that you could use to help your ankle?
Jeff: In the [reward] challenge last week, we won the cloth. And in that [sewing kit] was a band of elastic. I basically used that as an Ace bandage. You don't see me wearing it because when I went to tribal council, I thought I was going home and I didn't want to take it from them.

TVG: There's that team spirit again.
Jeff: Well... if there was anything they would have needed, it was probably going to be that.

TVG: You seem so personable... was there anyone you didn't get along with?
Jeff: No. I think because they are such extreme personalities, you kind of have to take yourself out of your normal realm and make your tolerance level a little bit higher. Everybody's got an attitude. Tom's from New York and I've never really hung out with someone from New York before, but I've heard stories.

TVG: Stories?
Jeff: They are all true! They are all p----d-off people.

TVG: I'm a New Yorker. I'm not angry.
Jeff: I've seen this 10 times today. You all smile while you are inside, but look at anybody outside [in the streets] and they are all ticked off.

TVG: You're a personal trainer. Did anyone ask you for tips?
Jeff: Yeah, they all did. Someone would do something and they'd be like, "Oh, I hurt my back." I'd be like, "You need to do this." I think everybody's career came into play a little bit.

TVG: You're a good-looking guy. Hoping to get any modeling gigs?
Jeff: Yeah, I'd love it, but I don't count my chickens before they hatch. I'd like it to happen, but if it doesn't, I'm not going to take my own life because of it.
