Survivor: Gabon

Oh my gosh I'm so glad I'm not the only one! During almost every challenge at some point or another, my mom and I will say to everyone else, "Now, what exactly are they doing here?" :unsure: I agree, the golf game was a good one! I just couldn't get over how RUDE Randy was being. And "Brad Pitt" (can't remember his name!) was acting like a little baby as well! Here Charlie was trying to mediate and get something done, and then later on at tribal, he addressed how people need to monitor what they say more often instead of just 'getting thigns off their chests', and here HE was the one voted off! :think:

Jeff explains things so quickly for the challenges and I'm always confused. I'm pretty sure that there are more extensive directions given that they cut out and we don't see on TV because of time. Some of the challenges are so in-depth, that they'd have to explain them in more detial so that no one was confused. They just give us a shortened version.

I bet you're right, Teresa. I never thought of that.

I'm sure that's the case too, Teresa. Good thinkin'.

Definitely.

Survivor is on tonight!!! If the previews are correct, looks like an exciting episode!

That is does!!! Misti, you forgot to say, "Survivors ready?" LOL!!

Oh, that was fun! Buh-bye, Randy!

Oh my gosh you guys---that may have very well been the greatest (at least funniest) Survivor in history!!! Awesome!!! (My hubby is sorry to see the 'entertainment' value go though. Not me!!).

Hey, where is Misti these days??? We need your input Misti! We miss you!! :sad5:

I have a feeling we'll be seeing Randy again on a future Survivor All-Stars. :shifty:

Did Bob have any reason to give him the fake immunity idol, other than as a "gotcha!"? There was no real strategy in doing so, was there?

I was actually a little nervous for the other Survivors when Jeff told him it wasn't a real idol. As nasty as he was, I thought he might go out with swingin' fists.

:box:

I thought of Savannah when Sugar won her food prize at auction - a bowl of peanut butter with big chunks of chocolate sticking out of it.

My hubby said the same thing Rob. He's made a name for himself now, like Johnny Fairplay. We haven't seen the last of him, I agree.

I think Bob was just trying to score brownie points for Sugar, no real strategy there. He knew it was important to her and liked the 'gotcha' idea. But I hope it doesn't come back to bite him in the butt since 'you know who' will be on the jury. :unsure:

And I REALLY like Sugar---she is playing a good game! She is definitely no dummy! I will be happy if either Bob or Sugar win...I am just so glad Bob is still in it!

And how awesome that Bob was able to take that 'safari' adventure. Those were some amazing shots. I mean seriously, a million dollars is great, but that experience in and of itself would be pretty fulfilling, to say the least. You could tell he got a lot out of that.

And yeah, Beckie---this is the rowdiest our 'gang' has ever been over here during a Survivor I'd say! We were all rolling!!

Yeah, he is definitely the type. He should at least acknowledge that Sugar is playing a good game though. What she did was nothing he wouldn't have done. You know, what's interesting about her, is that she's somewhat 'leading', without actually be a 'leader'. Does that make sense? I don't know, it just seems like there's a fine balance there and she's been holding a lot of cards for awhile now.

As Andy might say, it looked some kinda good!

I'm here! I'm here!

I did really enjoy tonights episode but I did hold my breath when the final score was tallied. They have had a history of making you think someone is a "sure thing" and then "Bam!"

I have to say my favorite ones are Bob (he's like an older McGuyver) and (surprisingly) Sugar. I think since Ace is gone, she's really grown on me. Not the tart that I thought she was.

I think Bob did give Randy the "idol" to score points with Sugar and hopefully do something down the line, like win immunity, so he can stay in the game. I'm going to cross my fingers he get some immunity wins. I like him and wouldn't mind seeing him win.

As far as Randy...I did enjoy the plot unfold but I have to say I felt a little bit bad for him. He was sitting there gloating and the unveiling when he got duped and everyone laughed, I did feel a twinge of pity for him. But at least all Bob did was give him the fake idol, he didn't come right out and vote him off.

I did have to smile, too, when everyone is explaining their vote and Crystal is talking really, really loud!

Oh my gosh!! I did not feel one ounce of pity for poor old Randy. He got what was coming to him. He deserved all of the people laughing at him because all he does is put people down himself. That was THE best tribal EVER!! I had to rewind it and watch it again, starting with Jeff announcing that THAT was not the immunity idol. Oh, that was priceless. It wiped that nasty smirk right off of Corinne and Randy's face. Marcus and Charlie got a kick out of it too. Did you see Corinne wink at Charlie right before the votes? She was so sure that Randy was safe. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you say: SORE LOSER!! Randy is so immature.

Aw, Misti, you're such a good person. I on the other hand, am really rotten to the core because, like Teresa, I couldn't find an iota of pity for the guy. Personally I enjoyed seeing Randy get his. And I almost enjoyed watching Corrin's reaction even more! And SO funny how Sugar and Crystal were crying from the agony of keeping their laughter inside! I LOVED it! And Crystal---that was hilarious when she started yelling during her vote! That has never happened before, has it?! I agree Teresa, that has to be the best tribal ever!

By the way, Misti---nice to 'see' you again!
