Survivor Cook Islands

“Wow, can't believe no one has started a thread for this yet!

[Right about now, bitpusher posts that, duh, there actually is already a thread, you idiot!]

I got a kick out of how each tribe was comfortable making self deprecating jokes about their own race.

Any favorites yet?

I like the Vietnamese dude, Cau Boi ("Cowboy").”

“I'm not watching this show.

“Hey BowlderMan,

I think you and I are the only people left on TT who will admit to watching.

I like Cau Boi too. I see from his profile that he hiked the AT in 2003. I have a feeling that he might get a bit tiresome before long.”

“Pepperdog, Sass and I still watch. the jury is still out for me.”

“I only watched a few episodes of Palau, and that was mostly to see the tattooed chick. She whined a lot and then got the boot. I lost interest. Their free dive on the sunken sub was cool though.”

“I love how they all say they want to get rid of the "weakest" tribe member then promptly boot the strongest. I guess "weakest" could also relate to the connection a tribe member has with the other. The remaining black guy better make sure they win every immunity challange or he is toast!”

“I like Cao Boi precisely because he will get tiresome before long!!”

“I like the hispanic waiter who climbs coconut trees, .. and knows how to build a bamboo hut, .. and know not to be seen as a leader.

The Caucasions are already trash talking the other members of their own team, and barely beat the African Americans in the challenge.

They had better re-arrange the tribes quickly or only the Hispanics and Asians will be left.

Interesting that the Chinese are the most populous race on earth, followed by the Indians, but the "Asians" are 2 Koreans, 1 Vietnamese, and 2 Phillipines (1 Phillipina and 1 partial) no Chinese and no Indians.”

“That's exactly what I said (re: the Chinese) when they were first introducing everyone, manuka!”

“Once, just once, would one of these people just say....

hey look, we need to concentrate on food water and shelter so we can stay strong and kick ass.

After we thin the other herd, then...we can turn on each other.”

“I liked the treatment for the bad wind. I have had bad wind, but it wasn't my nose that got red.

Maybe other people's noses, but not mind.”

“I watch it...and I also noted the lack of Chinese...I also noted the "caucasian" named Parvati...a typical Indian name...I also like Cowboy...a very talented man who, unless he shuts up, will get booted early...I also like the Hispanic waiter...

But the dude who kept saying he knew how to build a toilet and make fire who couldn't do either should have been booted out...you couldn't count on him for anything but adding bulk...”

“Isnt he the one who got nixed?

I hope the chick who let the chickens go is next....what was she thinking???”

“Did you notice the chickens were hens?
At some point while they were chasing
the hens, there was the sound effect of
roosters crowing. It is a very rare for
a hen (female) to crow. A rooster (male)
crows. Usually a rooster will not crow while it is being chased. I think someone just
screwed up their sound effects.”

“yep, joe pie, I noticed that about the chickens because when I first saw them I thought "eggs"...”

“me too. One egg a day would be good soup thickener. You know the tribes will eat the entire bird before it ever has a chance to lay.

I like the hispanic team thus far.

Cowboy's method of removing bad wind is sound.....except it just eases sinus pressure greatly. Ancient medicine (that works).

“honestly, I feel survivor made sure you pick stero stype races.

the whites: backstabbing idiots, and what some would consider a hippy.
the blacks: lots of getto talk, typical to make fun of their own race
the asians: knows for their healing secrets
the hispanics: I really don't know much about hispanics, but I am sure they picked at least one stereo type.

I find that rather racist, and not at all a SOCIAL EXPERIEMENT.

“anytime you put human beings together they are a social experiment, Gem...LOL....”

“I'm boycotting because the Inuit people are not being represented.”

“true matahari, but they DID stress the Social experiment more then usual on this show. and honestly, I have never really looked at survivor as a social experiment.

hahaha, nigal.

next survivor they are going to seperate them by religion. ohhh, i got it...blondes and brunettes!!”

“Team Cracker/Honkey wont show. They will be too focused on themselves to be able to be cohesive. They will implode. Whitey is too individualistic, cant see the big picture.

Team ghetto , they will be fairly tight but they wont put up when the time comes, all talk no action.

Team burrito, they will be hard to beat (but it'll happen). They are fiesty and motivated but will lose focus. Too impassioned (the chicas will show this)

Team rice rocket is the winner. Strong focus on the the group, each individual sees their place in the machine, they will over look "cowboy" as long as it benefits em all.

....or I could be full of crap ( which is known to happen), man I love this race baiting all wrapped up in a slick TV package, Mark Burnett is a sheer genius (who'll make gazillions on this).”

“Birch nailed it...but we all know they won't leave the groups like this long enough for it to really matter - except for the alliances that follow(where racism can be smoothly converted to discrimination). High quality television!”

“Read the biograhical info on the survivors.
Interesting!
Ozzy the waiter has a dog named Buddha.”

“Almost didn't watch it, except there wasn't anything else on at the time. So far not impressed. I expect this to be the 2nd to last season.”

“Started kinda blah didn't it?”

“I thought it was chicken#&%!$ for them to throw the challenge. Billy is quite the pathetic soul but they might miss the extra body at some point. I loved Jeff's face when Billy said he found true love. I can't wait to see the object of his affection's face when she hears about it! The idea of a "Metal Team" is intriguing - what stereotypes can we make about that?”

“I'm trying to remember what they showed of the "I love you"'s. I think he made some remark about not fitting in, and the woman (whatever her name is) said something like, "Well, we love you." (Is that right? Or am I misremembering it?) I think Billy mistakenly thought she said "I" - oops!”

“Yeah - I tape it so I went back to see the love. The guy is crazy - you remembered the interchange correctly.”

“The lool on Jeff's face when Billy said that was priceless!!”

“Can't wait to see when Jeff brings it up to what's-her-face. That should make for some interesting TV. For a minute.

Mr. Metalhead is definitely going to go down as the "dumbest and laziest Survivor" in the show's run.

Jeff's face was classic. I think I heard his jaw hit the ground. And bounce.”

“Anyone still watching?

Do you think Nate is sorry about selling out Brad? He must be feeling mighty non-white right about now.....”

“I like Nate!”

“I've watched off and on...last week was a bit weird...they were crazy not to vote Jonathan off!”

“I can't believe he is still there. Sooner or later he will work himself up to a position to start #&%!$ing over the others.”

“The good news for Jonathon is that there aren't very many smart survivors this season. Yule and Ozzy and smart and playing a great game. Nate and most of the other young players have been "out smarted" for the most part. Unless the young folks gang up on Yule, Ozzy, and Jonathon, then they'll all be going home one at a time. If Jonathon is careful not to make "everyone" mad then he is screwed. The previews for next week show everyone ticked at Jonathon, but like everything else in life, it's not over until it's over.”

“well, I did enjoy Yul telling Jonathon that he'd like him to be with him in the final two as he's pissed everyone off at least once...Jonathon is playing the game for all it's worth and Yul's not doing so badly, either...boy, was Nate ever pissed off...it's been awhile since I've heard anyone voted off sound off like that...it's Ozzie I'd like to see win...”

“Yeah, Ozzie is my favorite, Yul is obviously the smartest and Johnathan is definitely the one to carry to the final two as he has just about screwed everyone.”

“Nate was a little bitter after getting ousted. Yikes.

Yul is making news as the Asian Hunk, but Ozzie looks unstoppable.”

“I love it when someone says "yeah - we have it locked up" and then get voted off. I don't remember anyone in previous years pissing off so many people as Jonathon has this year. It gives him great position to be number 2 but no chance of winning. But I guess 100,000 is better than nothing but good memories.”

“Candice is gone! Johnathan is the "rat" that would be the natural choice to carry to the final two. Everyone hates him.”

“LOL

Dang...that was some interesting smooching going on there when Candice left !”

“I just want the idiot go. I can't believe he's still in the game. second place get's money too right? crap. hope someone will drown him before the game is over.”

“I don't much like him either, but I have to admit, I don't think anyone has played the game any harder than he has. He caught a lucky break or two, but overall, he has worked his ass off.”

“I think he's brilliant (except for his choice to go to the other tribe). He's constantly on the brink of being voted off but always survives.

I can't wait for that arrogant lazy Adam to go.

Last nights episode was one of my favorites.”

“It was starting to look like they were going to get some kind of threesome going there, with Adam, Candice, and Parvati. Whoa!”

“The auction was a joke. What were all those people hanging out waiting for? Johnathon shouldn't have rubbed it in everyone's face but he really deserved all that food if only because noone else spoke up. I don't know about the rest of you but Pavarti really bugs the #&%!$ out of me. The Jury was most expressive. I wouldn't be surprised if Johnaton was the next to go. Yul and company have all the power they need and he is about as irritating as a person can be. Yul's teammates are really hanging him out to dry, letting him look like the puppetmaster while Becky convinced him to go for Candace.”

“I would keep Jonathon around. He's been doing all of the fishing.

That was great when they ate without the lazy arses. It showed Jonathon multiple times trying to get someone else to get the fire going so they could all eat.

I love how Candace is calling Jonathon a rat when she's just as bad. The only reason he jumped tribes the first time was because she told him she was going to stick with him. Then she didn't so I don't see where she gets off acting like she's so much better than him. Plus, it's not like anyone else would have told Yul no to his offer. It would have meant the end of the game for him.”

“The fact is this version of "Survivor" would be a real snoozer without Johnathan. And he does work hard and play harder. My fav is still Ozzie. He seldom is heard speaking and just sorta floats around. I think the producers of the show should draw from us trailtalkers for the next season. It would make "Lord of the Flies" look like a Sunday-school picnic!”

“LOL...i always wanted to see them looking for one of the participants....then they come around the corner and have a couple of the participants sitting there with what looks like "cannibal flambe".....”

“Johnathan is out! I would have booted Adam. Oh well.”
