Survivor Fiji!!

“Starts tonight!

One tribe gets all sorts of "luxury" items, the other gets nothing. 19 Players.”

“You guys are really tired of Survivor eh?”

“Its already programmed into the TV. I will be there!!”

“My wife and I have been devoted fans since the first season. Last season was the first one where we didn't keep up - we barely watched it in fact. We've already decided we're not even going to try for this one.

They've done the same thing to Survivor that they've done to other shows like Who Wants to be a Millionare, etc. etc. Suck it dry for all its worth by putting it on as much as possible. Millionaire went from occasional, to weekly, to several times weekly and then tanked because people got bored. Survior has been on so much its getting to the same brick wall. I think if they had stretched it out to fill a full TV year, maybe throwing in bonus episodes here and there, they could have kept it going for a very long time. This may be the last one - at most one more.”

“Jeff Probst was on one of the morning shows in the 7 am hour. I usually watch the start of these, and then stop after 4 episodes or so. One of the participants for Fiji grew up onthe beaches of Bali (I think) so he'll have an easier time regardless of which side he's on.”

“I watched the preview show on the TV Guide channel and it was interesting. One of the ladies quit the night before the game started.

I have the Tivo programmed !!

Also, I tried to get a Survivor game going here at work that plays along with the TV show. I couldn't get anyone interested...blah.”

“Watched every season except the last half of Australia--Jeri was just too annoying.

The survival skills I find amusing, but the deceit is the turn-on because that's one "skill" I think I'd find difficult to master.”

“MDS, do it for us! I'll play.”

“I can't believe after all these seasons that the players don't go right out the day they get their acceptance letter and check out a book on wilderness survival. And then practice it. Its amazing how almost every one of them over the years hasn't even been able to start a fire with local materials, or build a survival shelter. Not saying I've ever done it, but c'mon, when you know you'll need to do it - and do it on national TV - learn it.”

“One season the winners of a reward challenge had a "local" show them all the different edible plants they could eat and how to cook them. As hungry as the players must have been, I was amazed when I never saw any of them put that knowldge to use. But then, maybe the producers simply chose not to show us that part.”

“Welcome to Fiji....have some kava root! Let the games begin!”

“I'll have to dust off my TV.”

“[b][i] I gotta say I don't buy into all the hype like most do. Way too much tv-ism and not enough reality. I think it should be reality from start to finish and people should see it all without editing. Anyone know where you can find all the edited out material from seasons gone by? That would interest me.”

“crap!! No one at home will be recording this for me.

I did watch german 'american idol' though. It's called different, but has the same music, same simon like person, etc. funny to watch.”

“how was the first show”

“It was okay. There are some interesting people on. My fav so far is the little asian man who grew up in Borneo. He's cooler than cool.

The premise is one tribe gets everything they could ever want and the other gets nadda.”

“That's Yaoman. My fav, too. Loved how he broke open the crate Jeff parachuted in.”

“that Dreamz guy is too awful to keep around! Interesting that they found lots of different races this time.

I dig Yao man too. It was funny to watch all those buff guys trying to break up the box then he just goes - bing - and it opens.

Gem - I have it on tape. Stop by Cali on your way home from Germany!”

“Can you watch the show for the following week online? Like we could with Lost last season?”

“Yeah you can! CBS.com and click survivor, then watch episode 1 right now. Enjoy Gemmy.”

“ok I just watched the new Survivor.
Anyone else find it boring”

“Yes. I hope you didn't miss The Office to watch it because that almost made me wet my pants it was so funny.

“what is the office”

“Yes”

“OMG, Ewker you must check it out next week, it's hillarious! It makes me laugh out loud every week. NBC airs it I think. Channel 4 up here.”

“Sass, I will check it out..thanks”

“I had Tivo recording "The Office" while I was watching Survivor.

Yeah, kind of boring this week. Those early votes can be so brutal because they are not as political as the ones later in the season. Early on, if you screw up they'll jump on you and vote your tail off the island!”

“What a bunch of losers.”

“Yeah, they sorta forgot about all that pineapple Erica found didn't they?”

“Last night was lame. I think I can't stop watching though. I've formed a bad Survivor habit I guess.

Ewker, did you watch the Office last night?”

“I didn't watch any TV last night.”

“Dang it. You missed another good one.”

“I was busy trying to sew a straight seam...lol. It is hard to do when your machine doesn't have the removable arm so the material can go under it when you need to sew a seam in a circular pattern. Next time that seam gets sewn first”

“Whatcha make Ewk? Stuff sack?”

“yep, that is suppose to be easy..lol

actually it will be a dry bag. I found some material that is waterproof

“Kewl. Let me know when you're ready to make me a silnylon poncho. You can pick the color. ;)”

“sure Joy, no problem...lol”

“To see the difference between the haves and have nots this time- there are some of the healthiest looking contestants this far into the game. And some of the most pitiful. It was good that Sylvia got voted out because she really knocked herself silly when she fell back and hit her head on the "slide" challenge. Poor "Papa Smurf" hurt himself too, but the docs couldn't find anything wrong. Normally a guy his size would have lost 10-15 lbs in the first couple of weeks- he's plump as ever!”

“Am I the only one willing to admit that I am still watching this?

I think the dopiest thing is when they finish something then go back and someone explains what just happened "we were given the choice of moving to the other camp or going to tribal council...." yeah, we know that - we are watching the show, remember???

Are the losers losing because they are starving and living in the pits or because they are incompetent? Obviously the other tribe thinks that the nicer camp gives them enough of an advantage to be willing to stab someone in the back to keep it....”

“No, I'm still watching too. Cracked me up that all that tribe was pretty much willing to risk their necks for rice. Do you want to stay on Survivor or eat? They never stopped to think that it might be themselves going home. It was a bad choice to vote off another physically strong tribe member. I bet next week's challenges are even closer and the weaker team just might beat the cozy team.”

“It was interesting that the 2 women in the "tight group of 5" were able to get rid of one of the strongest women because they saw her as a bit of a slut....and that the 3 men went along with them...”

“I watched it and it is still boring. Not sure what they are looking for in contestants but these guys are weak so far.

sass, I did flip and watch some of the office..it was ok nothing great...maybe I just caught it at the wrong time.”

“haha, I'm really digging The Office.

Dwight,

Don't drink the coffee this morning. It's been poisoned.

Signed,
Future Dwight”

“You gotta give it a few weeks Eddy. Get to know the characters and it's just the funniest show. You can rent the seasons at blockbuster.”

“This season is a real snoozer. Even the chicks are dull. And that is my wife's observation.”

“Here we go again - anyone awake still???

Let's see what happens when one group who has been starving for 2 weeks trys to push a well-fed group off a slippery board. What a surprise that was!”

“lol, no kidding!
But wasn't the memory game good?! Alittle bit better choice for who went home last night.”

“it still sucked..this has got to be the worst Survivor EVER”

“I concur with Ewker.

What a lazy bunch of #&%!$ers. I haven't seen a single thing out of any of them. Bygod, if I was starving to death, I would be figuring a way to rustle up some grub.”

“Yeah, I was totally bored with last nights episode. But, next week they shake things up and switch tribe members around...and camps ???”
