Survivor Panama--Exile Island

“LMAO!!!
Bravo”

“I missed the boat on this one!

Seems like I just heard about Tina Scheer being on the show, then talking about it with some co workers yesterday, found out she was the first one voted off! She has a Lumberjack show on the way to Acadia and I stopped to see it once. Excellent show! She's no wimp by any means.”

“It seems like they're following the tradition of voting the oldest white woman off first, and this time, probably also the person most likely to be able to survive.

They oughta give immunity for actually contributing to the survival of the group, not for their stupid contests. They should change the name of the program to "High school cliques get transplanted into the wild".”

“that one guy Shane I think is a freakin head case. They should have voted him off last night after he asked everyone to do it. Then to out right let people know you have an alliance set-up already and the rest of you are gone.
I feel for the one guy who is joining the group. He is probably thinking WTF is going on with that head case...lol”

“That guy joining the group will change the dynamics. I don't think the alliance will hold because you're right, Shane's a headcase.”

“i hope they never vote that chick (is it misty or danielle?) with the excellent hooters off.”

“i didn't understand why the women didn't get together and pull over the black guy and vote shane or the other guy off. what a bunch of boneheads!”

“Sheet, I forgot about it!”

“Recommended strategy for the three not in the alliance:

1 - Don't do anything around camp but nap, eat, and drink.
2 - When the time comes to compete for the next reward, simply sit down when Jeff says "Go!"
3 - Compete like crazy for immunity; win it; then repeat from Step 1.”

“I'm with Cydeee - last time Cerie was brilliant in getting rid of Tina (very stupid move but done so well) and then when she had the slightest threat from the guys she folded. I think she and Melinda (?) could have easily turned two others to unload the head case (although he is a kick to watch).

As far as Danielle's hooters - do you guys really find that attractive???? I have never understood that. They look like they would leave a dent in you if you got too close, if you know what I mean....”

“We're just admiring the surgeon's skill....”

“As far as Danielle's hooters - do you guys really find that attractive????

ummmm, yes!

They look like they would leave a dent in you if you got too close, if you know what I mean....

well, i'd sure like to at least try that experiment!”

“i'm watching now and shane needs to go! what a jerk!”

“he needs shrink”

“that immunity challenge was a good one and yes Shane is a freakin nut case”

“I'm thinkin this boy is Jonsing for more than a cigarette!”

“So who here filters water through their t-shirt? What the hell? Then again, hiker funk could just about kill anything, so this just might be the next best lightweight filtering system. Maybe they ought to try their using their socks next time. Sheesh.

Misty never saw it coming. I think that naval aviator guy is kinda cute. The black guy is not bad either.”

“Ok, you could filter your water through a shirt, but not purify it.”

“CD - dani asked me that question. i wasn't watching. I think the dude said if you filter it through three t-shirts together than its "clean".

F*in moron. Hope they all get violently ill and kill him. LOL!

Any pictures of the hooter chick?

Is she worth watching the show?”

“Misty = dumber than dirt”

“

Those aren't huge. She's got my vote anyway!”

“

Or are we talking about these? She's not very attractive.”

“Yeah, the guy said he has been "teaching" backpacking for 19 years. I wonder if any of his students are still alive today. If they all get sick, he is definately getting voted off.

I did feel sorry for him trying to sleep on Exile Island in the rain storm without any shelter. That would suck. It didn't look like there was much to build a shelter with either.”

“WWLSD?

What would Les Stroud do?”

“Somebody showed up on the Les Stroud forum and asked if filtering water through a tee shirt would remove 90 percent of the germs.”

“I lived in American Samoa when I was a kid about 100 years ago. Back then we had to boil our water and wash our fruits and vegtables in iodine. The parasites you can pick up in the tropics are wicked! I seriously doubt that a t-shirt, no matter how rank, would remove much of anything, except maybe debris.”

“The Tee shirt thing does work, but you have to make sure you pee on the shirt first. ;-)”

“LOL @ zac! Memo to brain: don't let zac filter your water.”

“Apparently filtering through a saree can reduce many microbes. The weave is intense. But we're talking about very poor Indians here with very few options.”

“i think it's spelled "Sari"

Sorree.”

...It is common practice in villages in Bangladesh to use cloth, frequently a flat, unfolded piece of an old sari, to filter home-prepared drinks. In laboratory experiments employing electron microscopy, we found that inexpensive sari cloth, folded four to eight times, provides a filter of 20-µm mesh size, small enough to remove all zooplankton, most phytoplankton, and all V. cholerae attached to plankton and particulates >20 µm. Laboratory studies showed that sari cloth folded at least four times retained the V. cholerae cells attached to plankton, effectively removing >99% (>2 logs) of V. cholerae (30). Nylon net with a mesh size of 150 µm was also successfully used in this study to compare its effectiveness in preventing cholera because it has been used to remove cyclops from drinking water. Cyclops is a crustacean copepod common in Africa and carrier of the guinea worm larvae that causes dracunculiasis (31, 32)...

Anyone know how big Giardia is? how about Crypto-whatever & Clostri-doohickey's?”

“Giardia is 13-15 um

Crypto is 3-5 um

Can't find a size, but here's a pic of Clostridium!”

“I didn't know paris hilton was on that show!! Dang, always thought she was skinnier though. Too bad she got voted off the island on the last show.

hahahaha, my kid said Melinda looked just like Paris Hilton, and she does!!!

“Thanks, bit!

looks like the Clostridium spores are easily between 1-3um.

Oh well”

“Please--anyone know the name of the Island
they (the survivors) are staying on?
(It is not "exile") OR the name of the Island that was used before, in a previous season of "Survivor" ? Thanks.”

“palau?”

“Tonight, tonight, won't be just any night
Tonight there will be one sorry exile”

“what happened last week. I missed it”

“Hated to see Dan go, but the reality was that he has cost the team several times.”

“at least he knew it was coming. Is that the first time a group actually sat around and discussed it with the guy who was being voted off?”

“I think Lex told at least one person that he/she was being voted off.”

“that was a great move by the other team. I think they saw that the guys were banding together and this was how to break it up.

“In the long run, that decision may have strengthened the team.”

“gawd I dislike Shane so much!!”

“I dunno Gem, I could see you and him together ;)”

“Only if Gem was choking the ever-lovin' life out of Shane!”

“I agree with Geo!!

But, I'd feel sorry for Shane by the time Gem got done with him!!”

“I will be so glad when Shane is voted off the game. What a jerk!”

“ewwww!!! I...I...I....I...don't know what to say... Ewker you're so not nice right now. :(

Glad everyone else can see that I def. would knock the living daylights of of that jerk [shane]

my kids are laughing at me because everytime I see him I wish death on him [yeah...I know..not in front of the kids].”
