One Week To Go!

Well, I thought I better get a post in before Episode #1... I looked over the contestants tonight and I think that the Fans are going to have a tough time. Hopefully James and Yau-Man team up for an invincible team.

Looks like a good season, feel free to comment!

Episode #10, #11, & Finale

Well... I almost completed my plan of commenting on every episode individually... and I almost made it. My recent Call has taken some time. Anyway, I will jump right to tonight's finale episode.

Thoughts:

1. I didn't like Amanda choice on only taking Todd in the reward challange. I would have taken none but probably two and then voted off the one I didn't take. You knew Courtney and Denise would talk while they were gone.
2. I wondered the wisdom in telling Todd you didn't trust him.
3. Does anyone else hate that remembrence walk?
4. Can I say it: SHUT UP JEFF!
5. Who else was pulling for Denise in that final immunity challange?
6. If I'm Amanda... I vote Todd off because I can out talk Courtney and Denise.
7. Denise got herself voted off when she talked about Amanda "having her back."
8. Congrats Denise!
9. Way to freak out, Amanda, after tribal council, because you made the WRONG decision on who to keep.
10. Does anyone else HATE those stupid speeches they make.
11. I think that was the first time I heard someone apologize ahead of time in their entry speech.
12. Jean-Robert had one of the longest questions ever!
13. Was the jury drunk?
14. Did anyone get the feeling that Amanda was quickly sinking everytime she talked? She should of kept Denise!
15. That was one of the lamest question and answer sessions I have seen.
16. May be this should be a rule: Don't tell a member of the jury that someone else deserves a million dollars.
17. They need to get jury members with higher IQ's.
18. Did Denise dress down for the final jury session?
19. Do people actually go into Survivor thinking that they or other people will not lie? If so, again we need higher IQ's.
20. Before they vote: I say Todd wins.
21. AND I was right!
22. What was up with the fashion statement Courtney and Todd were trying to make
23. Congrats to Kim E. & Gail G. for winning!

Well fans! That is it. I do need to still get some $$$ from a couple of people! Then I will mail out winnings. Surivor 16: Top Secret Location has currently been filming from Oct. through mid-December. I will let everyone know about the Feb. 2008 pool.

Episode #9

"Backdoor Special"

Wow... I gotta say that that was one of the best backdoor vote-offs I have ever seen. James didn't have a CLUE! Normally someone leaks some info, but not even Denise or anyone gave him a hint. I know some people might say that he was stupid not to play one of the idols, but he (and I) woulda thunk that he would have had some idea.

Besides that... here are my thoughts.

1. Cool reward challenge. Although I wish they would have voted another person off instead.
2. Denise gets to go along and practice some kung fu... did you see that one dude bleeding from his head. Too cool for me.
3. Over/Under 75 lbs on Courtney's weight.
4. I liked how no one got out of the cave when they came home. Peih-Gee is such a needy person.
5. Enough of the Adam and Eve analogy from James already. That didn't work out well for them and it didn't for James either.
6. I liked the immunity challenge. I was surprised Courtney could even get it to the board. James was just off from hitting the 5 pointer too.
7. Does anyone else wonder why they keep blurring out Amanda's rear... is it a pull your pants up or down deal.
8. I think that if it was me I would have like to wait one more time to vote James out... although I suppose he then uses the immunity idols next time. It looks like the next episode will feature Denise as the swing vote. Could be bad for favorite Amanda, thus her downgraded status, if she chose the wrong side.
9. I know I said it before, but MAN... what a blindside.
10. I have no reason to say this, but $20 says they have a car or food challenge next time. We will see.

Top 5:
5. Courtney (only because I have to)
4. Denise (you didn't believe she was #5, but wait, she is #4)
3. Amanda
2. Erik
1. Todd

Poll

Give the group your picks. I thought this would be pretty cool to do.

Episode #8

Sorry it took me so long to post, but last Thursday I had a voter's meeting and didn't get to watch it until last night. Luckily for me they had that dumb mid-season recap show on Thursday. I did actually watch a little of it since it was on in the background, and they did save some stuff for that show. But anyway, here are some random thoughts from Episode #8.

1. Well... we now have Rule #4 of Survivor: Never get involved romantically... it never works! Frosti and Courtney were quite a strange couple. I think we had a new term coined also: "Survivor Boyfriend".
2. The reward challenge was pretty interesting. I didn't quite get why James had the big drum, you would have thought that Eric and he could have done it without Denise of Phei-Gee.
3. Phei-Gee... Please stop talking. James is getting close to that too. I think he is feeling very comfortable in his position.
4. So if it was Christmas with Jean-Robert gone, then it is soon gonna be New Year's when Courtney gets voted off.
5. Can it be that the male flight attendant is emerging as one of the strongest players? Nice plan on breaking up Frosti and Courtney.
6. The reward was pretty cool, some of them almost broke an earlier Survivor rule not to over indulge in alcohol.
7. I loved the immunity challenge. I think it is always great to call out the people who think they are safe. Seriously, James should have been the only one over there.
8. Did James really eat 7 hamburgers in 5 minutes...
9. No Comment
10. No Comment (I had to get 10 thoughts in)

Now, my top 5.
5. Denise (I have to mention her sometime)
4. Eric
3. Amanda
2. James (Two immunity idols, is he ever gonna get to play them)
1. Todd (Believe it or not)

Episode #7

"The Merge"

Some random thoughts:

1. Amazing how the gay flight attendant has become the defacto leader of the strong tribe (insert hand signal now)


2. Courtney is bugging me, she needs to gain some weight. Thank goodness she got some food and why did her voice get so high dogs could only hear it.


3. I can't believe Jamie looked in James's pants for the immunity idol.


4. Todd and Amanda have the game figured out, they do need Jean-Robert.


5. Rule #2 of Survivor: Don't DRINK ALCHOHOL! (yes, you heard that from me)


6. I want to see James twist his legs behind his head


7. Rule #3 of Survivor: No Racial jokes. Nice comment Jean-Robert.


8. Don't they usually pick a new tribe name that has some cultural significance, not Black Rhino so something.


9. I called the quiz for the immunity challenge!!!!! WOO-HOO. Go me.


10. No gloating if your person wins the immunity necklace... I'm told, you will still have to do the chilcken dance at the wedding or else Frosti's dance.


11. I sure hope Jamie plays the wrong immunity idol!!!


12. Don't do it Frosti, don't do it! Don't flip flop, that will get you voted off


13. For the record, Jaime, you are NOT Jessica Simpson, and you are as dumb as you look.


14. Why does Jean-Robert keep hammering Courtney.


15. Are they all turning in to Meerkats? At first I thought it was just Todd, then Jaime, then Courtney, now all of them.


16. She DID play the wrong immunity idol... HAH! James just about fell off his chair.


17. Can't wait until PG is voted off next week.

Top 5:
5. Amanda
4. Todd
3. James
2. Frosti
1. Eric

Episode #6

Sorry for the long delay in posting. Last week was teacher's conference so I was gone on Thursday night and didn't get a chance to watch until Saturday.

So, here is what I have:

1. I have to say the thing that surprised me the most was Todd's emergence as a leader in the game. I think Amanda could make him cry, but his plan with James was pretty brilliant. Good for James, though, that his team started to try because they are at a huge advantage when they merge.


2. Nice try by PG to tell Sherea that they were still with them. Thank goodness no one listened to them. I still dislike them.


3. What a fiasco with the immunity idol. It will be interesting to see what James does at camp when he gets back.


4. Nice challenge, wouldn't you have thought that the school lunch lady could have eaten anything. I think that those duck fetuses looked like the chicken dog nuggets we had today.


5. Memo to self: When on Survivor, don't shower in the buff.


6. Jean-Robert is growing on me, I didn't like how Sherea was acting at the end. Good riddens.

Now, my top 5
5. Amanda
4. Todd
3. James
2. Frosti
1. Eric
