Survivor 32: Kaoh Rong

[Patricia A]

I don't like Joe or Scott's game so far, they're both too bossy, or pushy or something. Debby is irritating but amusing at the same time. I'm on the fence with her. The others... meh.

Pretty sure they do boil it. And I agree that the show ought to have backup water. The collapse of three contestants after that one challenge should tell them that they need to allow for water breaks within reason. Also, Julia shouldn't have been left on that island without water. We can live for days without food, but only hours without water. And, while the contestants do accept that they will face hardship, the show has to balance that with letting someone die. I think after that challenge where they had to evac Caleb, they might reassess the intensity of those things. That one was just insane.

Totally for sure! I like dystopian fiction but irl, make clean water available! Survivor is becoming too similar to SK's Running Man and that Doctor Who episode where The Doctor and Rose visit Satellite 5 the second time.

Egg salad tonight. I did it again, two sandwiches. Mashed potatoes and two glasses of iced tea.
Tery's right about about the water. My knee jerk reaction was to balk at the idea. But really, dehydration is too dangerous to play with like that. Someone could actually die. And for what?

Spoiler

It looks like Dr. Smartypants, Peter outsmarted himself. I wasn't sorry to see him go.

I'm starting to really like Kyle and Tai.

I didn't like Scott or Kyle at first but I'm liking them much better now. Scott and Tai are such a cute pair

You're right about Debbie. Like her or hate her, she adds the necessary amount of quirkiness to the show.

I do not like Joe at all. His ego is as big as he is small. He sorta kinda reminds me of a player in a past season who was (or said he was) an FBI agent. I think his name was Phillip. "Vote out Phillip already!" had become my mantra that year

My favorite is Neal. I think just cause he looks a bit like Reverend Jim. He also looks like how I imagined Brady (in Mr Mercedes) to look... which makes me like him and hate him at the same time lol. Neal doesn't seem to do much on the show - he might make it to the final three just because other players forget he's even there. Is that a strategy?

 

[Patricia A]

Here we go. Only 11 left.

I hate satellite tv. It goes out every time it storms. And it stormed last night We lost transmission during the individual immunity challenge while Scott seemed to be losing his balance. Did he lose his balance? Who won immunity? Transmission returned during those gross scenes and then went out again It came back at the very end and I saw

Neal waving good-bye

No tribal last night, no bounce. What you saw was Neal being forced to leave on a medical. One of those infections was close to a joint so the doctor told him he was done. Too bad..he was okay. My daughter liked his pants....LOL. Oh and Nick won that challenge..........

Don't forget to check out the Ponderosa videos at cbs.com, now that the jury has started.

I'm sad to see

Neal go. I think he would have gotten far. I liked him as a player. I'm surprised he didn't give his idol to Aubry, that would have been cool! But, I guess Aubry dodged a bullet there, she might have been voted out if they did have tribal.

Debbie is quirky for sure, and makes good TV, but I'm not sure if I like how she's playing yet. I think just going up to Tai and saying "I like you. I want you in my alliance," was totally up front and way too forward. I wouldn't have done it like that, but that's just me, LOL. Tai was like, "Oh............okaaaaaay." I felt bad for him!

Scot is growing on me. I think I would like him better if he wasn't with Jason. Those two together are bossy and over-confident. Nick is being over-confident, too.

Halfway through the season, and what is everyone's thoughts on it so far?

It's always... usually the cocky ones that go down in blindsided flames. Then I remember Boston Rob (who I actually liked). But it seems that way anyhow.

Spoiler

Yeah, Deb flipped her wig, she kind of needs to step back and play the low profile game she said she was going to play. She's going to flame out if she doesn't chill.
I was sad for Neal, the dude was gutted. My heart goes out to him, but I think he'll be back in a later season. I'm hoping he gets another chance anyhow. I didn't know I liked him until he left.... my life story LOL.
Aubry totally dodged a bullet. I wonder if Neal forgot the idol, or didn't give it to her on purpose so she'd go ahead and get voted out. He was going to vote for her... wasn't he?

Does anyone here watch Naked and Afraid? Man that's some real deal there, those folks don't even win money. They just get to not die. Sometimes I feel like maybe... just maybe I could play Survivor. Then I wake up. But never in any of my wildest dreams would I ever think I could do the Naked and Afraid thing. Shoot, to me naked is afraid. So I'm out before I start.

I have watched a few times. I call it Survivor: Extreme Edition. I swear, they won't be happy until they get someone killed.

I am really surprised nobody has died on N&A. Some of those folks walk away from that mess shattered. I wonder how many of them have suffered long term damage to their health. I've watched it maybe a half dozen times, but it really gets too harsh for me to enjoy. Watching people who want to challenge their ability in extreme situations is one thing. Watching people try to kill themselves is another. I know it's supposed to be all in good fun, I just don't have the stomach for it.

 

[Tery]

Yeah. I'll stick with Survivor, too.

Naked is afraid I agree with you there lol. I've watched Naked and Afraid a couple times but never got caught up in it.

Spoiler

I don't think Neal was thinking straight, he was pretty disappointed he couldn't continue the game. Otherwise, he probably would have given his idol to someone. I was disappointed too - he's the one I had finally decided I wanted to win

My thoughts so far... I want ALL of them voted off lol.

 

[Patricia A]

I'm eating a huge bowl of spaghetti with a mound of parmesan cheese on it tonight LOL! I'd have some ice cream for desert if I could. I do have some nice peach yogurt. Damn survivors. Damn empathetic impulses.

 

[Patricia A]

Tai, and Cydney are my favorites of the moment. What will they both have. Tai is pure determination and his sweetness has gotten to me.
Cydney is buff as a mother shut your mouth. Seeing her during the last challenge, she looked like a big hunk of woman muscle standing on a stick. But that's not why I like her, I like her spirit. She's cagy but not sneaky.

Spoiler

Aubrey was crapping a brick, but it looks like another overconfident blindside. Bu bye Nick.

I also like Tai because he has a Cthulhu turtle shirt.

 

[Tery]

Good blindside tonight!

I didn't think that immunity challenge was fair to tall players. The distance between the foot platform and the hand bars was the same distance apart on all the poles.
