Nope, Johnnie "Fair Play" isn't in this one. I'm glad, that guy was a dip$hit.

okay, I guess I can watch it then.

I thought though that they said he would be in the all-stars survivor. hmm...oh well, I ain't complaining.

I so disliked this person. Glad that I dont' have to see his stupid face again.

Johnny Fairlplay was just too good not to have on their again. I suspect he'll be brought in at some point as a surprise. He was so rotten, it was hard not to appreciate him.

Johnny Fairplay would seem like a no brainer for an all star survivor.

Jenna will be back.

Rupert (Hagrid) is the favorite in pre-show polling.

I pulling for Colby!

I can't wait to see the Richard Hatch again... it seems like a long long time ago when the first one came out. Gosh how time flies.

I thought the Stupid Bowl would never end!!

I'm happy to have Survivor back. Too bad for Tina but she did have a big target on her behind. I kinda thought Rupert would agree to get rid of one of the worthless girls because he hates loosing so much.

Survivor I is the only one I missed so I had mostly just heard about Richard. What a pain in the butt. How quick before his team mates throw a challenge so they can get rid of him?

IMO I think the people who didn't win will be trying to knock the people who did win out first. The they will go after each other.

Jenna(I think)said it last night they have their Million Dollars I don't.

I always hated "Star Search", because the premise of the show was that we actually needed more "stars"...

I think Tina got a cool $100,000 for being voted off first. Don't know what the others will get, but two days in the mosquito-ridden jungle without food or water is not the worst way to earn a hundred large.

Richard or Susan - they're both worth less than nothing. Together they are worth even less. And Rudy's too old for the physical challenges. Eventually they'll have to shuck him, Rupert's alliance notwithstanding.

Survivor is not a bad show, not great, but not bad.

All stars is truely 'jumping the shark'.

Those attributes of Survivor that make the show worth watching, - seeing over a few weeks which are the real losers and which are the treacherous ones, seeing to what exteny people will debase themselves for even a chance at a million bucks (eating bugs, drinking rotten fish stew)

are completely missing from this show cos we have seen them all before.

Sh1t Ann 'nobody likes me'
Rob Moriani who would not work in an iron lung, but thinks he is a genius.
Sweet charming Jerri who thinks she is gods gift to men.

Yeecht !

I read the report at CBS web site, did not bother to watch.

I'm not a Survivor fan, that is, I don't watch it. So you fans, have they ever sited a Survivor series someplace cold?

That would likely spice things up a bit.

For those who are not watching, in the all-star version they were given only one machete per team, a well of tainted water that they must boil to drink, and no matches. They've been rubbing bamboo together until their arms got tired with no results.

So it really does have a wrinkle worthy of these alleged stars.

Also, the personality mix has providers and what Creek Dancer calls "lazy butt whiners" on each of the three teams.

So I don't see that it's jumping the shark, at least not yet. This is going to be a very interesting show.

Heh heh, Geobeet, you should have seen the Scouts the night HPM brought in his "old Fashioned" fire starting kits. It was very funny. Bunch of little pyros, and their fathers, too!

Cold weather would never work, I'm afraid. If they couldn't flash some skin every few moments, at least 1/3 of the audience would vaporize. They'd gain some, but it'd be a net loss.

I just realised --- is that one of the Survivor guys on the razor commercial? (FOUR freakin' blades, now? LOL)

And what did they pay Tina to say the thing she missed most about civilization was DORITOS?? LOL
Tilt

what do you guys think about the well water? do you think they would really leave tainted water there, and them with no fire? somebody could get mucho sick!

Do you think any of them smuggled on Flagyl?
treebait

Well, Tilt, I dunno...they leave them in the jungle with no food and no safe water...what do you think they'd strand them in Alaska without? Warm clothes, that's what. Let's face it, most women are cold-natured, and would probably bang their asses off for warm clothes if they had the opportunity.


Can you say "igloo-cam"? I knew you could...

Susan and Rudy drank the water with no apparent ill effect.

Hey, the show is called Survivor, not Tuesday Afternoon Tea. If they broke down into teams, they'd have fire by now. Instead, two or three guys work at starting fire while the others stand around and beetch!

Hey, that's what you could call the "Survivor Alaska" show: Not Tuesday Afternoon Tea!

They could have shown Survivor at half-time. I would have switched the channel anyway.

You want the brit version with Johny Rotten calling the audience FC's for not voting him off - then storming off the set for some chocolate. Fun fun fun

THAT REALLY SUCKED!!!
FRIGGIN RUDY SHOULD OF NOT BEEN VOTED OFF! THE TWO WITCHES GOT HIM!
Rupert is definitly one of my all time fav's he is awesome.
I love how they do the little interview of the person just voted off at the end and rudy knows the 2 witches voted for him and his words where "They better steer clear of me!" he was pissed and I can't blame him. The ole' fart is 75yo !!!

My revised list of fav's is now:

Colby
Rupert
Big Tom
Lex

Not being sexist picking all guys, I just don't like any of the ladies in this one.

I have to say, yeah, it sucked that Rudy got voted off. I liked Rudy.

Not sure why, but for whatever reasons Rupert is kinda getting on my nerves on this survior. I can't figure out why...

I may change my mind, not sure.
I still hate Richard. what's up with this naked thing? What is he trying to proof? I mean, god, every single time! I can't even remember when I saw the guy in pants.
Gemini

True GEM!
I think Richard is just doing it for the "shock" value.
He is a wacko, funny though.

I can't wait to see if Jerry and Colby reunite, too.

As far as Rupert, it is like the one Survivor said on the last finale, that CBS decides what they want to show, they can make someone who a nice person look like a A-hole when they only show the bad stuff.
Maybe their just showing more bad stuff about Rupert, in your opinion?.
I still like him, he was legitimatly crying about the witches wanting him to vote off Rudy, and he stayed true to his word. and voted for Ethan.
He is a man of honor, that's why I like him so much. The Same with Colby!

I hated to see Rudy go, but the simple fact was that he's lost a lot of physical ability and was a liability in the challenges.

I predicted he would go if they went to tribal council again. They did, and he did.

Apparently Rupert gets into it with the other team members in the next episode, based on the preview last night. Should be interesting. If they lose another challenge, it will be very hard on the surviving three team members. Guess they'd have to reorganize the teams at some point.

Is anyone else bored with this group of "survivors"? I can't put my finger on it. I just don't like any of them, can't keep track of the teams, don't really care about anyone wining or loosing. Maybe the 3 team thing is throwing me off - we do better with one against one.

Hey Pepp!

Maybe the problem is too much personality. It's making a situation where none of the tribes can develop their own "personality."

D'ya think they'll tell the remaining survivors about Jenna's mom?
BowlderMan

that's was pretty strange huh? I really wanted to say "oh just another excuse to get out of the game", then they had that writing about her mom at the end of the show. Glad she did go home.

Rupert: Boy...sorry, but he is really starting to get on my nervs. Mister know it all. I think since the last survivor show he really does think he is gods gift to, well...surivor.
Gemini

I totally missed the last 1/2 hour of the show last night. My mom called, even though I warned her not to call at that time! So, what happened, did they tell Jenna her mom was sick and they let her go? Did anyone else get voted off?
smiley girl
8:47:56 AM
2/13/04

Jenna left of her own accord...they didn't even have any games or get to vote anyone off, they just counted her as the one voted off.

yeah, Rupert is an a-hole now!

i really can't stand the way ol' Probst flips out whenever anyone says they can't/won't go on with the game. LOL! it's pretty funny, you can almost see steam coming out of his ears.
