I know how to survive!
I figured out how to survive on the show "survivor." You are allowed to bring one luxory item, so bring a still. Supply the whole tribe with booze and they'll either be so drunk that they will eat anything and thus win the challenges, or love you so much that you will never get voted off.

RE: I know how to survive!
I am kinda curious... I have not once seen the show and I want to know how it is done. They vote you off? How does one win?

I have not watched that show, and I will not watch that show. It is trash like all of those other reality shows.

First off, if your fat or a dike, you go fast. I bet the old people go next.

My luxury item would be a ballot from Florida so nobody would be able to vote me off.

Television is to this generation as what bread and circuses were to ancient Rome.

I like the show. I think it's a welcome, entertaining break from sitcoms, which are becoming tiresome and unoriginal (at least to me they are).

I think there are limits to what your luxury items can be. I'd choose my swiss army knife, if allowed. The guy who brought the Texas state flag with him was smart, he uses it for a tarp for the shelter.

If you haven't seen it, it's worth checking out at least once!

Kill your TV and you won't be debating this silly sh!t.

As far as the "old" people?

They only have two, and I think they are both about 52.

That's means several of us here on TT would have been booted out.
That sucks.

Without us, how would you get your face on Phil's Photo Page, and who would take people on Llama hikes?

AND.....
That AIN'T old!
DEAD is OLD!.

The Hippy High Priestess was spoken, her word is golden like the roots of her hair, so bow now and ask for forgiveness you plebians.

I would bring a fat book for the boring times (maybe a survival guide) and roll of duct tape to bound and gag things and a cooking pot, well you know what that would be for. I have no need for a knife because I can knap my own blades and fashion my own spears.

Blow up your TV
(give the real name for this tune)

She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol
And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal
Well she pressed her chest against me
About the time the juke box broke
Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of the neck
And these are the words she spoke

Chorus:
Blow up your T.V. throw away your paper
Go to the country, build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try an find Jesus on your own Well, I sat there at the table and I acted real naive
For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve
Well, she danced around the bar room and she did the hoochy-coo
Yeah she sang her song all night long, tellin' me what to do

Repeat Chorus:
Well, I was young and hungry and about to leave that place
When just as I was leavin', well she looked me in the face
I said "You must know the answer."
"She said, "No but I'll give it a try."
And to this very day we've been livin' our way
And here is the reason why
We blew up our T.V. threw away our paper
Went to the country, built us a home
Had a lot of children, fed 'em on peaches
They all found Jesus on their own

RE: I know how to survive!
Anybody know where I can find a complete list of gear they are allowed to take on the island, cause they had backpacks in the beginning.

I think there are limits on what luxury items you can take, i.e. I don't think you can take anything useful like a knife or tarp, so it was pretty smart for that guy to take a flag.

I really like survivor 2 more than the first. It's more about surviving than stabbing someone in the back, and they have better challenges. But unfortunately, no one on either of the tribes knows how to survive.

RE: I know how to survive!
"As you become able to pull back out of the immersion in the TV set, you can widen your perceptual environment to again include the room you are in.

Your feelings and personal awareness are rekindled. With self-awareness emerging you can perceive the quality of sensory deadness television induces, the one-dimensionality of its narrowed information field, and arrive at an awareness of boredom.

This leads to channel switching at first and eventually turning off the set."
