SURVIVOR NICARAGUA Running thread, commentary, etc. (Spoilers)

[Trekker4747]

Isn't calling surfer dude "Fabio" being a bit generous to his looks? Other than being, slightly, good-looking and having long(ish) blond hair he looks about as much like Fabio as I do. Certainly there's another "dumb blond guy" term that can be used.

And, man, it's too early to see scrawny guys walk around with blurry boxer-briefs on. Ugh. Why don't they tell these people to bring boxers, swim trunks, and such? Why do we have to see these guys strutting around in their underwear?

For some of us that's the best part of the show. I know I'm looking forward to lots of Fabio-sans-pants. I don't understand why they're blurring the front this season though - they never have before. Trying to avoid another Marcus incident like in Gabon I guess?

Don't really like much of the older tribe yet. A lot of creepy hotheaded guys and annoying women. I've never heard of Jimmy Johnson before, but I hope he does fairly well.

Don't have much of a handle on the younger tribe yet, except that Shannon disgusts me, Benry has a stupid name, fake-leg Kelly will probably be one of the first ones gone, and Fabio and Naonka make for good eye candy.

That was an awesome tribal council - who goes off on gay people when their ass is on the line? Shannon was getting a bad rap in that he had kept true to his word and not lied like Chase, but he sealed his own fate when he went off on teh gayz. They should have voted off the black girl, she strikes me as a bit useless.

That Holly chick is CRAZY, but even more crazy is bringing $1600 alligator shoes to Survivor.

That Brenda girl really caused some damage, I think she's by far the biggest threat in the young tribe - it's always the cute ones. They should have Survivor: Ugly People and see how that goes.

 

[Greg Cox]

Glad to see Shannon gone. He obviously had a chip on his shoulder about women, and gays, and New Yorkers . . . .

What a jerk.

But, boy, did the Youngsters implode fast! They were going out of their way to attack each other!

 

[Skywalker]

I totally forgot to watch. So Shannon got voted off, huh? No loss there.

 

[Trekker4747]

Shannon went complete douche-nozzle on us there. WOW!

And, yeah, who brings $1600 shoes on to this show?! No matter what they're going to be trash by the end of the month! And, god, I hope they get rid of Standard Sassy Black Chick real quick, her venom against Kely (Spelled with on "L" to differentiate between her and the other Kelly and, well, because...) is just vile. I was cheering when Kely kicked ass during the IC, hell she did as well as or better than what's her bitch ass.

Welcome to Survivor: Year of the Crazies Who Don't Know When to Shut the F*ck Up.

 

[Pegaritaville]

They sure cast a bunch of idiots this season. Why so many of them are going out of their way to makes waves is beyond me.

So Jimmy Johnson can win.

You could hear my eye-rolling from miles away when she said "I'm proud of Kelly" for how she did in the challenge. I'm sure Kelly was just aching for your validation.

The young tribe is completely self destructive, should be fun to watch! I don't really care for any of them to continue on past the merge. Of course there are some people on the older tribe that I'm not too fond of either.

 

[Trekker4747]

Yeah, she's proud of the one-legged triathelete who did well in a physical challenge. It's also worthy of note that it looks like Kely's prosthetic is pretty high-end/high performance, the kind people who're very physically active use, and not the "off-the-shelf" peg-leg most amputees likely use. Oh, and the woman has used a prosthetic leg for her entire life considering her missing leg is the result of a birth defect and not of an amputation she needed later in life requiring years of rehabilitation to get back to 100% mobility.

So SHUT UP! Token Sassy Black Chick!

Welcome to Survivor: Year of the Crazies Who Don't Know When to Shut the F*ck Up.

Watching the trainwreck in progress sure is entertaining, though. I've never seen people who so go out of their way to sabotage themselves at tribal council.

 

[AJBryant]

Man, but I hate the token sassy black chick. Attitude, stealin' and copping a 'tude when called on it, the head wobble, the pursed lips, the whole "Oh no you din't" thing.

Hate her, hate her, hate her. Want to see her go DOWN.

 

[Trekker4747]

Agreed. I hate the Sassy Black Woman as much as I hate the Lazy Black Guy or the Token, Flaming, Gay Guy. Certain groups just don't get cast/edited very well on these shows.

But I don't get Ms. Sass' venom she's spewing at Kely.

And she stole the dude socks?! WTF?!

But, again, WHO BRINGS $1300 SHOES ONTO SURVIVOR?!?!?

And then he laments their loss, as if those shoes were ever going home with him in any wearable condition.

 

[Danny99]

Agreed. I hate the Sassy Black Woman as much as I hate the Lazy Black Guy or the Token, Flaming, Gay Guy. Certain groups just don't get cast/edited very well on these shows.

I got flamed for saying the same thing in the Big Brother thread.

Wouldn't it be fun if they look for a gay man who simply says "I'm gay" and doesn't fall into the stereotype. Or a jock looking guy who isn't a meathead. Or any ethnic group acting within their stereotypes.

 

[Trekker4747]

How is it possible "Fabio" hasn't somehow strangled himself with his own shoelaces? I'm surprised he's not wearing headphones plugged into a device playing over and over again instructions on how to breathe.

(And I say, again, calling him "Fabio" is an insult to the real Fabio in more ways than one.)

He might have had a good chance had he not got paired with a couple of guys that are SO JEALOUS of his fame that they literally can't stand having him around.

It wouldn't shock me if he goes home tonight.

Loved his crack about Bradshaw and the monkeys.

Jesus, could she be any more of a bitch? Good grief.

 

[Trekker4747]

Naonka needs to go. NOW.



Thought it was funny during the IC/RC that Jimmy Johnson was "coaching" the other players, esp. in the way he sent in the "relief" with The Dude. Who should've gone in after about the umpteenth time One Dude missed the barrel.

I have to say I would find it highly amusing if the older tribe lost every challenge from now on, especially if it was because of a lack of leadership.
