Survivor S48

First episode was last night. I'll watch it tonight (I bowl on Wednesdays).

The one player that I instantly disliked got voted off first.

The one player that I instantly disliked got voted off first.

She's not my cup of tea, but if it were me, I'd be more inclined to take out Sai, who strikes me as much more of a tribe problem.

 

[BaileyCatts]

I don't even remember her enough to care if she's gone or not, so no loss I guess. I do like Fireman Joe though, so right now I'll be rooting for him.

I really hate watching those challenges where they have to crawl thru that mud and then get all that sand on you. Yuck! Makes my skin crawl from watching them dive into that mud then get that sand coated all over them. Yet don't people pay hundreds of dollars to essentially do the same thing getting like 'mud baths'?

 

[Kasey]

I would have taken out Sai as well, as she seems to be more likely to cause camp chaos than whats-her-name. Still too early to tell who I really like, although Fireman Joe seems like a sweetheart. And I like how Kyle helped Kevin finish his challenge after he broke his and knew he was out of it, that was a classy move. Maybe the two of them will align later on in the game. Looking forward to more twists and turns as the game goes on!

 

[jkl]

Don’t you just love a good blindside?

 

[Kasey]

I like Cedrek, but I wish he hadn’t warned Sai because she’s annoying. But Kevin thinking he was Survivor God, I knew he was going to go. I wonder if their team will actually win any challenges, or just be decimated?

 

[Prancer]

Sai must have charm we don't see, or at least that I don't appreciate. I can see that she is young and that the older people on the tribe are tolerant of her because she reminds them of their own kids; I get that. But in terms of game play, I see her as the type who will blow up plots and schemes if someone makes her mad.

 

[jkl]

Really Cedrick?

 

[Kasey]

I suppose Justin not sharing with Cedrek that he had lost his vote sealed his fate. But still, keeping Sai, who I find extremely annoying, although astute, is a pain. I guess next week it won't matter anyway, as things are looking to get shaken up.

 

[purple skates]

Got to watch last night. That was quite a tribunal with all the "firsts" and a shot in the dark actually working.

A theory I have is that some of the people cast may seem a bit like someone previously on that was good casting.
to me Sai - at first reminded me of Marianne. Young, outgoing, but then saw more - and just want her gone.
I do appreciate that Cedrick called her out with the issues with Mary (that to me are all Sai).

 

[Kasey]

Yeah, but Cedrek calling out the issues between Mary and Sai is moot, since they were most likely going to be reshuffled as tribes anyway (I don't think they let tribes get wiped out anymore). So who's to say what tribes they'll each be on next week?

 

[Prancer]

to me Sai - at first reminded me of Marianne.

She reminds me a little of Michaela (those eyerolls and direct honesty) but without the challenge beast skills and charm.

I think Mary is kind of weird and I think she would bug me...just not as much as Sai.

 

[Kasey]

Interesting tribal shakeup. Potential new alliances. And a satisfactory tribal council for me anyway.

Yes, Kane and Camilla really pulled their plan off well. I don't know how Camilla sat there while Shaheen went through Kane's bag, but she held it together.

Previews: I see Sai is causing trouble in her new tribe, which means someone else will be voted out--probably Camilla, since she was saying she and Kane are now running the game.

Interesting concept for Survivor 50, where fans get to vote on certain features of the game.

I voted switch, strategic power, and the option C for the final four. I love that one.

 

[BaileyCatts]

If I was sitting there watching them search thru that bag, I totally would have given it away just by my anxious body language. Or tried to jump in like 'let me do it!' so they wouldn't find anything. She was so smooth and didn't even flinch one little bit.

Once again I've lost track of the 'who has what' in regards to Idols and other stuff. Does anyone have a rundown of what's still in the game?

 

[Kasey]

The Joe/Eva friendship is something special.

 

[purple skates]

Agree.

 

[Prancer]

Joe seems like such a good guy. I think he will at some point pay for this. Survivor is a cruel game.

 

[purple skates]

Agree with that too, unfortunately.

ITA. I love it when a player shows real sportsmanship and kindness to another player, in spite of being in a game like this.

Sai must have charm we don't see, or at least that I don't appreciate. I can see that she is young and that the older people on the tribe are tolerant of her because she reminds them of their own kids; I get that. But in terms of game play, I see her as the type who will blow up plots and schemes if someone makes her mad.

I cannot stand Sai. Part of it is the way she talks in her confessionals and I know the players don’t see those. But she is so obnoxious to her tribe mates, and the facial expressions and things she says in tribal council —BLECH.

Previews: I see Sai is causing trouble in her new tribe, which means someone else will be voted out--probably Camilla, since she was saying she and Kane are now running the game.

Yeah, almost every time someone says they are running the game —boom, they’re out. If only that would come true with Sai.

The Joe/Eva friendship is something special.

It really is. I felt quite emotional watching, too, and was surprised to see Jeff’s reaction. It will come back to bite them at some point but I think it won’t matter to them by then. And I was very impressed with how Eva held onto her, I don’t know if composure is really the right word, but she hung on and completed the task so her team won immunity. It was awesome, even without the hug between Joe and Eva.

 

[BaileyCatts]

Why do I never understand the vote outs. Why Bianca? Was it because once she told she didn't have a vote they got rid of her because .... she didn't have a vote for later? So why did Sai still get one vote if that was the plan? Or maybe it's just because I am they didn't vote out Sai.

Wow. After spending the last 4 nights pretty much in tears watching skating, tonight was not the night to catch up. I love Fireman Joe even more now (although he would not like me in real life if you read his profile). I hope this doesn't doom him and Eva to busting up their alliance.

 

[Kasey]

Please tell me that Sai is on borrowed time! She’s so obnoxious!

 

[BaileyCatts]

OMG that crawling thru the mud and then what was that other crap?! Yyyyyuuuuucccckkkkk!!! All that mud getting in your eyes and your ears and your nose and your mouth and uh ... others areas! I hate those games. Makes my skin crawl.

Geez really? Get Sai this time and Charity the next time! Ugh. At this point they will never get her out.

The "other crap" was wood chips

 

[jkl]

Finally!

 

[BaileyCatts]

First round: HA HA!

Second round: whut? I need to pay more attention to the gibber-gabber because I thought it was supposed to be the other guy.

 

[purple skates]

Haven't watched the episode yet. Got spoiled on Facebook. I’m ok with that result.
