My mother lead my brother's scout troop and that was in the 50's. Maybe that was before men started caring...

Actually she isn't supposed to be wearing that uniform at all because it implies that she is representing the BSA in an official fashion and she most definately is not. Only professional scouters and not volunteers are supposed to act in that fashion.

From the posts here she sounds like a kook to me. I sure as hell wouldn't wear my scout uniform on that show for a variety of reasons. Mostly because it isn't appropriate.

Maybe the BSA should send in a squad of Special Forces and strip her of her uniform...

...nah, I bet she doesn't look that great nekkid...

It comes on again Sunday, Free24.

I like Survivor. The hippie guy cracks me up. Yeah, the Scout leader is a real weirdo. But remember, the people who are not in the "Alliance" are used as pawns. Pawns can win the game sometimes!

please post tonight's events 9/25
I have to work from 5-9pm and my old VCR does not like to record when I set it. Just the highlights. I was glad to catch the first one when it reran on Sunday . I wish they would do that every week until I get a F/T Mon-Fri job again. I gather we will see many strange things come of this group. I can't imagine wearing a Scout Class A shirt the entire time in camp, but I can understand from being a former den leader you can get attached to the uniform..

LOL!
Did anybody else catch the Strong Bad reference? Ryan said "the tree-mail, the tree-mail. What? What? the tree-mail" in a Strong Bad voice when getting the reward challenge. Less than 1 percent of viewers will get that, but, hey we're the elite.

Ha ha! Yeah, that was killer! Too bad he got voted out.

Hey rocksee - Drake tribe kicked butt and won the reward and immunity challenge again. As part of the reward challenge, Drake looted the tarp that made up the roof of Morgan's shelter. Huge morale defeat for them. The black guy on the Morgan tribe wanted everyone to vote him out, but they decided to boot Skinny Ryan instead. Good episode.

Rupert continues to be my favorite.

There is a girl on one of the tribes that is so far under the radar they never show her...

























Or is it tricly editing???

I can't believe that black guy was such a whinny sissy!! What the heII??
I guy with the strongest body on their team and he is letting them down. Really sucks!! I think they would've been better of letting him go because he is not even going to try. Ha, would be funny if he's the won that will survive.

I'm disappointed in this "scout leader" also. When the host ask her about their tribe, and what needs to be done, she gets this dazed look...and says..."i give us an A for spirit, and i really think we need to fish more"...huh?..the host was like Wha?..i think he almost called for a med team to check her out right then.

Yep, the Morgan tribe will self destruct. I predict Lil goes next week. They're killing temselves. I think Andrew is a crappy leader.

I don't think I've ever seen a team work as well together as Drake.

Taking the tarp was cold blooded. What a kick in the groin.

I wonder if it is within the rules to take a tribe member? You know someone to do all the work and then get voted out

yeah, the scoutlady...let's not talk about her. she's retarted. I know she's missing some screws somewhere...but oh well...

I totally forgot about that nut.

I missed the part with the tarp, (kids), so I don't know what was up with that. I know they was ludering the other tribe. Not sure why though...
Gemini

That was part of their prize from the reward challenge. Each time a tribe wins a reward challenge they get to steal an item from the other tribe.

I don't think Lil is stupid, but she's holding back a lot. She could probably get things in line at that tribe, but is fearful of stepping out.

thanks for the update y'all!
Is there anyone in the Nashville area who is taping this show for posterity? If so, send me an e-mail (dtc1875@earthlink.net) and I promise to return the tape before the next episode! It's killin' me that you seem to know the names of the players already!!
The StrongBad reference will become Survivor Cult trivia. I have the DVD of the first show, too bad they didn't continue doing that for each game.

Rupert's the bomb! No one else could make the skirt thing work like he does. Uh, did that sound too gay? Anyhow, he's got a great attitude. I liked it when he said they were out in paradise, he was surounded by beautiful souls and they had food to eat...what is there to complain about?

I was glad to see that one kid get the boot. Jeebus he looked he just got out of a concentration camp and it wasn't even the first week.

I love Rupert too...
I like when the idiot dude told him he lost his spear tip.
Rupert was standing by the dead fallen tree and started to break the branches off!
I thought he was going to go ballistic and kick the crap out of the other dude right then!
He definatlty restrained himself. So what does Rupert do he goes out swimming in the lagoon and finds the spear head....Whoa!
Rupert has skills!
I also love that stole the other teams #&%!$ too in the first episode! He is a true Pirate!

I was pissed they Booted "Skinny Ryan" The kid at least had the will power.
They should of flushed that lazyass, heartless, muscleheaded Homie.
Pisses me off too that they called him "skinny ryan" all the time.
If I was him I would made a few select names for the other dudes too, Like #&%!$ ANDREW & WUSSY OSTEN...

Did anyone notice:
When Lil was swimming in the reward challenge, the underwater camera's would cut away from her tighty whitey shot under water.
Maybe they where see thru tighy whitey's and there was a BIG HAIRY SeaMonster in them...haha
The Beav!

I live for Thursdays.
Never miss an episode!

I miss the show so many times. sucks!! always something.

Do love Rupert too though. I hope he wins this one, but I think it wont' happen. THey know he is strong, and will dump him as soon as they don't need this strengh anymore. Or if he becomes a thread. (sp??)

Taking the tarp was a little cold-blooded but what else could she possibly have wanted? Taking their cook pot would have been worse.

AAHHHH, i missed it? i totally forgot it was on last night. i wish they'd show a repeat some time during the week! as long as Rupert didn't get voted off, it's all good.

the tarp: Hey, I think payback will be a bi t c h, and I hope they are prepared for it.

I still can't get over this Osten guy. I listend to his audition tape, and just want to smack this tape in his face!!

Well, I didn't wanted him to win anyway. He was too full of himself.

You go Rupert!!!

Taking that tarp was just flat out awesome. I hope the Morgan tribe continues to die a slow, painful death. I don't like one person on their team so far.

How'd everybody like the nasty words sent xxx's way when she was taking the tarp? What the heck else was there to take? These fools didn't have anything worth taking. So they start calling her a bi___, etc. What a bunch of losers. Especially Osten. What a crybaby. What did that guy expect? That he'd be laying around a pool drinking margaritas?! Has he never watched the show?! This is not a vacation! Regardless of the fact that the show's editors make it look more dangerous, etc. than it really is, it's pretty hard work, and a lot of it wouldn't be fun. Get a clue, dude!

yea..the only thing else i saw she might could have taken was netting. She couldn't find the water container, and that would have been worse. The palm fronds, if done correctly will provide a good roof..and what the hell is up with the bamboo/stick floor?..are they idiots? (i missed the first episode).

i got a friend from clarksville, he knows that ryan dude- hung out with my friend and a few other folks last night, first time ive ever watched the show.just seems like they concentrate too much on the contestants whining and not enough on what they're actually doing to survive- eco-challenge is just so much cooler, and dosent seem so fake.

and about the osten dude- how many stocky outdoors people do you actually know? i cant think of many at all, all the outdoorsy people i know are lean weather-beaten folks

You have to pile natural stuff (palm fronds, pine boughs, etc...) 2-3 feet deep to get a water proof roof. I bet Morgan stops at 3 inches.

i guess i might have to watch another season now

it'd be great if they actually chose contestants that fit their racial stereotype.

lazy hispanics sit around starving; the blacks all steal from each other.
the whites should be just given all their food so they can sit around getting fat and giving advice to the other tribes on how to pull themselves up by their bootstraps

How is it different than separating by gender or age as they have in the past? Of course it is a cheezy gimmic. This is TV, remember?

Sacco, you missed the Asian sterotype, but that could depend on whether the asians are Chinese or Pakistani, or are they all the same sterotype ??

What I love is that 13 of the 20 "participants" in this show are from California. Real representative.

And one of the white women has the last name "Shallow." Another has the last name "Woodcock."

But I think that this COULD get really interesting. I know that here in Michigan, we just ignore the fact that our major city is 95% black right next to the whitest city in the country, Livonia at 95% white. Oooops. It just happened.

And we've got a lot of well-spoken people who would never make an insensitive comment going into ballot booths and voting for a white candidate because they're white. Or a black candidate because they're black.

I kind of like how up front this show is being about all of this.
