Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine Survivor: FANS v FAVES 2

I don't think I will ever be able to go without high-speed 'net again now that I have it. I spent 10 years... yep, a decade-- with Web TV... high-speed 'net was like the 30th century!

Show is pathetic
15 minutes of discussing bs and the 15 minutes of a challenge and then a half hour of deciding who should go. I got better shows to watch than this , I might as well be watching the view.

I found last night's episode pretty boring... I hate combined reward/immunity challenges ...

Jud is kind of amusing, but Nay just sucks the life out of the younger tribe ... any time she comes on, it turns into the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' ...

and they have to mix up the tribes stat... the older tribe is way too unappealing to watch...

On the plus side, I was happy with last night's vote... that player was getting too much airtime... it should shake up that tribe a bit too which'll be good...

I'm watching this season as I have almost every one before it, but no one's really emerged as a favorite at this point. So far none of the bad guys are as fun as Russell was last year, and no one's really got an abundance of likeability either.

I was rooting for the older tribe until the wheels really came off. I mean, come on, is anyone really afraid that a jury would award Jimmy Johnson the million? Really?!?! Strategically and for tribe cohesiveness it made a hell of a lot more sense to keep him around. Ugh. Age should bring wisom with it, man!

Naonka....part of me wanted to like her in a Russell kind of way, but she's just too much of a blunt knife. Hard to root for her after what she said about that girl's prosthesis.

Fabio's fun, at least.

Oh yeah...not crazy about the combined reward/immunity challenges, either.

^ I'm preferring the combined immunity/reward challenges. But then, I watch Survivor more for the 'social interaction' -ness than the 'who can stand on a pole the longest' -ness.

Blacula, the inner workings are more interesting to me as well, but if they're not holding up well on a given week, then the challenges provide a bit of a break. Also, a lot of the more interesting social stuff arises from what happens during the challenges, so they're good dramatic fodder. It would also be interesting to see if the "medallion of power" would be utilized for a reward instead of an immunity and what the consequences might be.

Odd... Jud/Fabio's name was missing from his picture in the opening credits

OK... after tonight's ep, I am very very happy about what looks to be happening next week in the previews.

I wasn't bothered by who went home. The only ones I would have been bothered about really are Tyrone and Jan.

So glad to see that person gone... don't think I could have dealt with another one of those speeches... still a pretty boring season... next week's preview looks promising though...

Also happy to see that blowhard gone.

Meanwhile Naonka continues to be one of the most unpleasant people I've ever see on TV. Survivor sure does attract them. Often I feel they're hamming it up for their 'role' on the show but not with this girl. She really does just seem to be a total bitch.

K then!

Those who were growing a bit bored by this season surely took notice with this episode that things are back on track!

No more young VS. old... kudos to Survivor for ending that failed expirement, along with the lame Medallion of Power.

Seperate reward/immunity was back!

Am I evil for taking utter delight in seeing both Marty and Naonka's comfort go completely tits-up with the tribe-switches? LOVED that.

That water-spitting challenge-- WTF! That was great!

My baby Jud ("Fabio" if you must) got to make the winning play!

I had a feeling Tyrone was making a mistake with the chicken...

I concur... loved seeing Marty and Nay sweat it out... and no more ridonkulous medallion of power...

The water-spitting challenge was one of the craziest things I've ever seen, including what looked like the near drowning of Brenda at the end of it...

The last couple of episodes haven't been as good as the opening few IMO but there's still been nuggets to enjoy about them. I think I would've rathered we had a few more episodes with the old tribes before the mix-up but c'est la vie.

I was happy to see Jimmy T go last week and less than happy to see the person who went this one - but I can see how his demeanour would have been annoying to the youngies, and his physicality probably posed a threat. How Dan has survived this long amazes me though.

I cannot wait for Marty's exit. I hope it is the result of a particularly devastating and upsetting blind-side too. Like he gets turned on by Jill or orchestrated by Holly or something. His smugness is unbearbale for me to watch.

Me too. He's going to go... I think Brenda will see to it and I look forward to it very much!

I'm liking Brenda (I'm glad she didn't drown at the end of that challenge this week - that was scary) and will like her even more if she organises Marty's exit. I like that she's playing the game but not in an overt, arrogant sort of way (like Marty).

Yes, she's VERY likable to me. I hope they totally blindside Marty and he leaves with the immunity idol in his pocket.

So my new faves consist of Jud (Fabio), Jane, Brenda and I've totes warmed to nutty Holly.

I like that same 4 plus Jill (even though she's siding with the snake) and Kelly B (is that the one with the artifical leg?) seems pretty likeable too.

I'm on a Survivor kick at the moment. It's amazing that the show can still be going strong so many years later with so little changes to the process - throw a bunch of people together in a remote location and watch them connive and scheme and outmuscle each other until there's only one person left. It really is a winning formula.

Does anyone know of any good download sites where I might find older episodes from seasons I've missed?

Hulu only has the current season thus far and 2 eps from Season 6. I'd be intersted to find a site too!

Hulu only works in America so I couldn't use that site anyway.

Here's where I catch up on most shows that I've missed -

Dumbest. Votes. Ever.

^ Totally agree. I was all excited to see the dead-weight and the snake get voted off and then... they didn't. La Flor were crazy for not using that *perfect* opportunity to get rid of Marty. It will come back to bite them I think. Particularly Brenda. He will be gunning for her.

I'm not sure why La Flor didn't vote Marty out in the second chance vote. Jeff didn't ask for the idol during the second vote. I can only guess that they never intended to and only wanted to flush out the idol. Maybe they feared not having him for the challenges?

And over at the other tribe...Yve was playing the game too hard? Really? Granted, she made a misstep when she brought up her connection to the other older La Flor members, but still. And Dan wouldn't even admit he's contemplated quitting several times. Oh well....

I liked Marty's "grand master of chess" story with Fabio and how Fabio was impressed, though. If Marty can entertain me that way again, I'll be okay with him sticking around another week.

We'll see how Brenda stacks up in the long run. I'm not sure it was wise playing her cards at tribal like that.

ARRGH... stupid CBS.com quit working before the tribals, and for some reason this ep isn't ON DEMAND yet-- WTF is with this ep??? I'll go read the recap on EW.com, but I can tell right away I'm upset Marty isn't gone...

^ Despite its unfortunate outcome that Tribal is worth a watch if you can, if only to see Brenda make Marty sweat.

I really like Brenda and love that she seems to be playing this game hard (especially its 'strategy' part) and isn't being too arrogant about it (this is Survivor though so of course they're all a little bit arrogant). I fear she's revealed herself a bit too soon now though. I will be very surprised if she makes it to the end.
