4. "RE: Survivor: Nicaragua (Season 21)" In response to Reply # 0
Man I love this show. I can see the nascar kid or Shannon the salesrep going far in the game. Darkhorse pick would be the brotha on the old team. Definitely got it right on the first vote and I can't see Jimmie Johnson going far in this game. I can see him leaving the game if he isn't voted. He lives way to good a life to put up with any discomfort.

12. "That guy killed it at tribal counsel!" In response to Reply # 5
The Jim Halpert facial expressions, the sarcastic "You look so young"
So good.
A few other thoughts: -I'm conflicted, because Jimmy Johnson annoyed me, but I don't think I've ever seen somebody so happy to be there. I wish they would spend a little less time focusing on him though.
-I hate Shannon and his small face. That guy is sporting some serious D cups with those pecs.
-Man, could that under 30 team have earned any more checks in the 'annoying traits of your typical 20-someting checklist'? C'mon did you really need to have a cheer as you entered the challenge? I am firmly on the side of the oldies at this point.
8. "yall rollin with the brother, huh?" In response to Reply # 0
i'm a little worried with all the eye rolling he did at tribal council. doesn't seem like the most patient person on that tribe. he'll be fun to watch though.
based on the first episode my pick is Marty. got a lot of camera time in ths episode, and i'm getting a good vibe from him. seems really level headed.
that winnie cooper looking girl on the older tribe can get it. so can the cheerleader who got the medallion of power. the fact that she knows and said that guys always want to do shit for her, makes her hotter in my book.
16. "Nicole doesn't have much purpose" In response to Reply # 15
i honestly don't know why she's even on there...I know they're married now but wtf, do your own thing lady. I haven't heard a single insightful comment out of her mouth yet.
as much of an asshole Shannon was, dude would have made for GREAT tv, so i'm sorry to see him go. on the other hand, i didn't want brenda to go either. she has that dude WHIPPED. Can't blame him though, because if I was out there, I would be washing the sand from between her toes.
sista girl...I can't even say anything, because there's no way she's gonna change her attitude. just gotta step back and watch her self destruct.
I was lot more impressed with Coach Jimmy this episode. First ep, dude was trying too hard to push the "i'm here for you guys" flex. Seemed more like a natural leader this week. I like what he had to say about the crazy woman after the challenge. Some foreshadowing right there.
While speaking about Boston Rob, Lex made some interesting comments on his performance the 3 times he played Survivor.
Boston Rob 1.0: goofball
Boston Rob 3.0: powerful, but very little motivation.
Now, Boston Rob 2.0 from Survivor All Stars, he was at the top of his game. Lex thought his love for Amber put him in a place to physically and mentally dominate that season.
Is it possible we'll see the same White Knight effect with Chase?
He doesn't seem as calculating or cut throat as Rob, and Brenda might end up slitting his throat at some point, but it'll be interesting to see how that shit plays out.
23. "Shannon interview with Rob" In response to Reply # 0
Funny how Nicole talked so much shit about him, but not a peep out of her in this episode. You can tell she was shook, and Rob even called her out on it when they were done with Shannon.
Brenda said something really interesting during her interview in the episode. She was happy that Sista Attitude shared the clue with her because she perceives her as someone having power in their tribe.
I thought about it a bit, and you know what? As much as she's annoyed most of the viewers with her ugly personality, I don't think she's done much harm to herself within her tribe. Fabio and the two girls on the outs hate her, but the 4 in her alliance don't seem particularily bothered by her behavior. Kelly shoving, and banana smushing may change this, but there doesn't seem to be anyone in the tribe willing to call her out on it. She may go far in the game.
Marty was an early pick for me, but i'm not so sure anymore. Being jealous (visibly) about Jimmy Johnson? Really? I think he played the scheming hand way too early, and it wasn't even worth it. You can see some frustration on Jill's part, and I believe that Tyronne is on to him already. If they were really concerned with keeping the tribe strong, they would have sent Dan home. With that leg, dude appears to be useless. Even Jeff called him out during the immunity challenge.
38. "Brenda brought out the guns at tribal council" In response to Reply # 37
and was firing some shots.
glad marty survived it. will make for an interesting dynamic back at camp.
As much as I enjoy watching Brenda, I'm rooting for Marty to come back strong. As you said, if he can get out of this mess -- that's one heck of a feat.
The second tribal council might have been the WORST i have ever seen. Dan and Yve are arguing, but with absolutely no weight behind anything they said. It was pathetic.

That was the most piss poor job of "exposing the idol" I have ever seen.
What was the purpose of having Marty and Kelly B tie?
Why not just put more votes towards Marty than Kelly B?
Marty doesn't play the idol and he goes home...NO MORE IDOL!
Marty plays it and Brenda and Kelly B. Tie...Brenda's alliance still has a 4-2 advantage.
Even if you play extra safe and go the 3-3 tie route, why vote off Kelly B. in the tie breaker? Now you've pissed Marty off, and let him stay in play with the idol.
>Even if you play extra safe and go the 3-3 tie route, why vote >off Kelly B. in the tie breaker? Now you've pissed Marty off, >and let him stay in play with the idol. > >Is a fake leg really that threatening?
42. "she did seem kind of naive" In response to Reply # 41
fake leg and too nice for you own good ... aka there's no reason for a manipulative, competitive player to keep her.
But the timing was horrendous. Keeping Marty around is gonna bite the youth.
And to revisit the tribe reorganization: the older players were completely fucked by that decision. It created two tribes, both made up of majority young-tribe members. I'd be pissed. It's not Big Brother ... they shit on their own rulebook by doing that.
54. "Just when you thought the season couldn't get any worse...." In response to Reply # 0
bwahahahahahahah.
Sash and Brenda got this shit on LOCK. I hope someone gets some fucking balls and stands up to them though. I thought Benry was a douche, but he seems pretty legit after this ep. Only problem is he's on the outs.
naah, but Marty lost a LOT of points with me when he started coming off intellectually superior on Na.
Not saying he was wrong, or that she hasn't done her dirt so far, but Marty's arrogance was just irritating; especially when he was doing the Rick Flair strut at Tribal Council. Fabio was battling Na too, but he kept it classy.
So many unlikeable people this season. Gonna stay with my original strategy...cheer for the hottest woman.
58. "Granted, he's a dick but..." In response to Reply # 56
his strut was in response to her dig on his walk. And hair, no less. 'Cism? Hard to say, they both might be guilty of some of that. Neither one has much class or a filter.
To be fair, he acts intellectually superior to everyone and she acts like a fucking idiot with no game whatsoever. She seems to be there just to provide ratings fodder in the villain role.
Agree that everyone is unlikable this season. I'm just watching out of habit at this point.
59. "good call on the walk thing" In response to Reply # 58
I forgot that was in her list of grievances.
he was probably being a dick to push her buttons, have her fly off the hook, and then have her think that maybe she just opened herself to some votes -- "better play that idol".
Smart move by Marty, but Na didn't bite at all. Gotta give her props for not backing down, or falling for the okie doke.

61. "hey, this cast actually impressed me tonight" In response to Reply # 0
luckily there are people who DO want to win the game and not just follow along. Props to Sash for not going out of his way to save Brenda too....no reason why he can't just substitute Naonka for her. I suppose Sash is the favorite to win at this point, but it's not very clear.
pardon my language, but he's a pussy whipped bitch if i've ever seen one. except he aint gettin none from her. it was really difficult for me to watch.
is jeff getting frustrated by this cast? he was dissing the losing team in the reward challenge hard. then he kinda went after purple kelly during tribal council. LOL at her voting for Benry. Girl is totally clueless.
Jane hanging in there (with a push from Jeff) was kinda G. Props to her for that. She's becoming a little less obnoxious as the game goes further (no stupid white girl dances).
69. "if you quit you should not be able to vote for the winner" In response to Reply # 0
you should have to just sit there in the background and not get the opportunity to talk either. I mean there are thousands of people that would trade places with you.
73. "Nice job by the final 3" In response to Reply # 0
Holly never had a chance to win this game anyway, so she's obviously tryna get to the final 3 no matter what, and she should.
Can't see Dan winning a damn thing, he'll be voted out in 4th place after Fabs.
It'll be between Sash and Chase, Sash will win. Peeps like Marty and Brenda will realize he was the most strategic. Chase just floated on charm and some immunity idols.
75. "has to be one of the most" In response to Reply # 73 Thu Dec-16-10 01:44 AM by Mageddon
unintelligent group of players assembled
it's so bad that Jeff is blatantly telling them what to do.
the advice he gave them made sense, but I guess Fabio and Dan are really afraid of Jane making the finals, and decided to play the role of ducks lined up for the next episode.
I thought they should have at least tried to make a play for a tie. If Jane made it to the next week, I don't think she's much of a threat to win challenges. Clearly all of that gusto from earlier in the season is gone.
Her bitching after receiving the bad news was understandable, but still a bad look. That's the way the game's played lady. Instead of throwing hissy fits, focus on talking up Dan and Fabio.
they vote and there is a tie the two people that are tied are removed from the vote and they vote again if they tie what happens? I was under the impression then it comes down to drawing a rock from a bag. If thats the case holly and jane would be safe, sash chase and fabio all had immunity so therefore Dan would be sent home. So why would he go for a tie. I could be wrong though
80. "Why Jane voted for Sash (rumors)" In response to Reply # 0 Fri Dec-17-10 01:40 AM by Mageddon
In her exit interview with Rob Cesternino, she was asked why she voted for Sash. She replied that Sash had done something to her which she refused to mention. She knew she was going home, and her vote for Sash was not at all strategic, but basically a middle finger to him.
Now someone in the comments section on EW, shared this bit of information:
Jeff. Since no one else has asked, could you please explain to the fans why during tribal counsel you stoped filming when Jane accused Sash of offering her a bribe by offering to pay off her mortgage on her home and business? Everyone knows that the editors and producers try to present a storyline, and there is nothing wrong with that. But trying to hide an event such as a contestant saying that they were offered a bribe is not the way to build an honest relationship with the fans. I believe the fans deserve better than they are receiving from you and the rest of the Survivor production staff?
*another person in the comment section asked this person to expound, and this was the reply
I have no first hand information, but the person who supplied the information has a past history of being correct. If it lends to his credibility, he is now being sued by SEG and Mark Burnett productions. Before the counsel was to vote out Jane, she said that Sash had offered to pay off her mortgage. This is in direct violation of the written Survivor rules about Quid Pro Quo. Jeff stoped filming and went to conference with another producer of the show. He then before beginning filming, told every one present, (cast members and staff members) to not bring it up or speak of it at the final tribal counsel. I do not know what if anything she said about the rest of the contestants. My problem with this is that there should be a certain level of trust between the fans and the production staff of Survivor.
91. "Hey, I thought it was rather enjoyable." In response to Reply # 86
I absolutely hated this season very early on but as I got to know and understand the players it became relatively interesting toward the end. I think the season would have been a complete fail if Fabio didn't end up making it to the final 3 though.
89. "mixed feelings.....also, I might be dumb, but I still didn't understand" In response to Reply # 88
the entire rule.
So only one person...whoever "wins" redemption island, gets to go baack in the game? That's how I interpreted it last night.
Mixed feelings because there are some people I never WANT to see again in Survivor...alot of ppl won't deserve another chance to go back in the game. That part of it is kinda wack.
And it's just gonna take camera time away from the real players, right?
Now that I think of it, my feelings aren't mixed, I really don't like it, haha.
95. "i like what Sash had to say about Jane" In response to Reply # 94
The fact she ran away with the people's choice money was sad (but not surprising). I don't know why Jeff was so in love with her. Her childish back and forth with Marty, insulting peoples family, being hypocritical and a REALLY sore loser when being voted out (uh...didn't you guys blindside Brenda?), fish hording, grandstanding during challenges earlier in the game (by the end she fell the fuck off)...
97. "Not very predictable to me..." In response to Reply # 96
I thought for SURE Sash would get Marty + Brenda.
Marty says Sash is a weasel while he votes, but wtf? Those two were the most strategic and they both knew it...I thought there'd be some mutual respect.
Same with Brenda, plus Brenda and Sash were allies before she got booted, plus Brenda doesn't take shit personally.
99. "Predictable if you believe the Sash rumor is true." In response to Reply # 97
Which I do.
Unlike Fabio, Chase made personal and genuine relationships with people (Brenda, Jane). Holly wasn't going to vote for Fabio, especially after Fabio didn't take her to the final 3.
Dan and Marty both hate Chase and like Fabio. Purple Kelly and Fabio were tight. Only surprised that NaOnka didn't vote for Chase after everything Chase did to comfort her when she wanted to quit. She essentially took 1,000,000 away from Chase.
