The premiere is tomorrow night. Also, for anyone keeping up with the Amazing Race, it is airing on Friday nights now, so that football will no longer fuck with it. So now I'll DVR it on Friday and watch it on Sunday and give football the finger.

Thanks for the heads up.

No problem. By the way, that's this Friday, 9/26 that Amazing Race starts.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #984 on:** September 23, 2014, 07:21:30 AM »

Awesome. I always remember the two shows start around the same time, so I try to look out for them both.

Killer first episode. That immunity challenge was awesome!

THat was by far the smartest first elimination I've seen in a while. That chic was going to be trouble for that tribe not only for the gameplay reasons that were brought up but for her (what seemed to me) abrasive and stereotypical exchanges with the gay dude.

Oh and, that was a smart move by the old man to grab that idol looking decoration at the well.

And something I've been curious about....there is always shots of large mammals in the editing and they even showed monkeys close to camp there as well. I'm curious as to why no one has ever hunted them and killed something to eat? Not that it's easy...but I'd bet any amount of money that given any of these locations I'd come back with at least a sloth or smaller ground dwelling mammal. Snares aren't difficult to make and you'd think going into Survivor these players would learn how to set some basic game trail snares.

There might not be as many of them around as the editing makes it appear, and also they might not be allowed to hunt certain things anyway.

Great first episode, although it sucks that Nadiya got voted off for no reason other than The Amazing Race.
There's also nobody I dislike at this stage, no clear jerks or idiots. Seems like a good group of people so far. I've never seen a season with exile island before.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #988 on:** September 25, 2014, 06:32:09 AM »

Yep, good first episode. I also agreed with the elimination.

The previews at the end seemed pretty intense.

John Rocker's girlfriend is easy on the eyes, and probably needs to stop using a strapless top, or she is going to come right out of it.

Even though he was one of the better physical players on his team, I'm glad they got rid of John. Voted out with an idol. lol.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #992 on:** October 09, 2014, 06:35:55 AM »

Oh, hell yes. I assume everyone has seen the "article" that they were all referring to last night. If not, here it is, from wiki:

Quote

For a story published in the December 27, 1999 issue of Sports Illustrated, Rocker made a number of allegations stemming from his experiences in New York City and answering a question about whether he would ever play for the New York Yankees or the New York Mets.

I'd retire first. It's the most hectic, nerve-racking city. Imagine having to take the 7 Train to the ballpark looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing... The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?

Then for maximum lols, check out his twitter page. I've linked to the version that shows his posts AND his replies to others as opposed to just his stand alone posts. It's a veritable cornucopia of fratboy douchebaggery and roid rage:

I hadn't even bothered tracking down what they were referring to, since I knew it was going to be terrible.
His Twitter comments are way worse than I'd imagined. You'd think anyone of his apparent stature would have a bit more restraint than that.

It reads like a 15 year old Youtube troll.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #994 on:** October 09, 2014, 06:43:45 AM »

Exactly. I mean it's a complete free-for-all with this guy. "15 year old YouTube troll" is a ridiculously accurate assessment.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #995 on:** October 09, 2014, 07:38:27 AM »

I remember when all that happened, and I was hoping that he had learned something from that whole ordeal, and felt a little bad for him that the other team was yelling at him because of all that old stuff.

Oh well.

At least his girlfriend is still around.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #996 on:** October 09, 2014, 07:40:46 AM »

Yuuuuuuup. Not gonna shed a tear for his exit. Natalie was a little TOO mouthy, but I loved how she was like "Go ahead and knock me out, I'm not afraid of you". I think she could take him, seriously.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #997 on:** October 09, 2014, 07:55:08 AM »

I don't, and I don't like her, either. I hope she gets ejected soon.

Of course, for that to happen, her tribe would have to lose, which doesn't look likely any time soon.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #998 on:** October 09, 2014, 08:22:36 AM »

I generally would be fine with her going, as the twins irritated the living shit out of me every time they were on the screen on TAR.

gmillerdrake · « **Reply #999 on:** October 09, 2014, 09:29:19 AM »

I thought for sure after listening to the comments during tribal that John would have played that idol.....it was essentially spelled out that his alliance was going to vote him off?? But then again, it's not surprising that he didn't gather that....doesn't appear to be the most intelligent fella.

I actually think the battles to send people to exile have been kind of lame.....as in, not difficult. Could just be me. I don't see how the 'blue' tribe loses a challenge here on out until the merge....which sucks because in my office pool I have Baylor and Jacquelyn.....

lucky7 · « **Reply #1000 on:** October 09, 2014, 05:43:47 PM »

By not playing his idol, he showed how stupid he is/was.

Glad he is gone, he was good in the challenge but ultimately his big mouth got him in trouble.

From the look of the preview for next week it looks like Drew will be the next out..

Stupid and arrogant. It looked like he was thinking it over, but I think he was too smug and stupid to realize that the rest of the tribe could play a smarter game than him.

There's a good reason why a Catcher told him which pitches to throw.

Was Drew for real this week?! You'd think he wanted to get voted out with how stupid he was playing. I liked him up until this episode too.

He wanted to throw the game to vote someone out, but if you throw the game that blatantly, then rampage around camp like that, who do you think they're going to vote out?

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1005 on:** October 15, 2014, 08:51:44 PM »

Exactly. By the end I was rooting for them to vote him out. Dumbass.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1006 on:** October 15, 2014, 08:58:45 PM »

It's not like they had anyone in their tribe so awful that everyone wanted them out either. It seemed like he decided to do it on a whim just for the hell of it, no real strategy to it at all.

Pretty much these. I really couldn't believe what was going on....it looked so staged. And his brother on the other tribe is just as big of tool.....

lucky7 · « **Reply #1012 on:** October 17, 2014, 01:58:48 AM »

I agree with you all....once again another player running off their mouth.

For a while in the episode I thought Keith was in trouble but Drew as good looking as he may be...was just plain stupid.

He reminds me of someone who has survived on their good looks their whole life and is deluded to the realities of life.....I mean he was so dismissive every time his tribe members tried to talk to him, then his pathetic attempt at the ring on the challenge then blames the swimmers!

Once he brought attention to Kelly...I actually noticed she is quite a smart player will be interesting to see how she goes going forward.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1013 on:** October 17, 2014, 06:34:11 AM »

Yeah, this guy was about as socially inept as is possible. I'm glad they saw that and cut him loose.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1014 on:** October 23, 2014, 06:37:42 AM »

Yeah, not really sure what to think about last night's vote. I'd rather have seen Baylor go. She just seemed too wishy-washy flip-floppy to me. So it seems pretty certain that if these guys lose again, Dale's out the door. And holy shit with the whole rice thing. What a bunch of losers. The mom coming in and being like "Fuck you, we're going to eat as much as we want, despite the fact that now the other tribe has next to nothing left to eat because of not properly rationing it." Her and her daughter need to GTFO.
