I'm watching Survivor tonight and I don't care who knows it.

1. Awesome, I love Survivor!!

I thought the premier was next week so thanks for the reminder, it is tonight! Survivor is definitely my favorite show of the past 10 years.

[rug]

2. Me too. Big Bother and the Amazing Wait don't hold a candle to it.

It's worth it just for the photography.

3. I got Jimmy Johnson in the pool

Kiss that ten bucks good-bye.

10. I would love to see Jimmy get far but there ain't no way he's winning.

He'll definitely make it interesting, but I really can't see people keeping a celebrity around there for very long.

[gratuitous]

15. He'll last as long as his winning personality does

As soon as folks get tired of him (and maybe even before then), he'll be gone. I also have I also have Brenda and NaOnka, whoever the heck they are.

4. Me too.

It's a great show and has stayed interesting over the years.

5. You realize we all know that now...

...oh, sorry, didn't see the second part of your announcement. Nevermind.

[skypilot]

6. Me too.

Although, it's too bad that I won't have the pleasure of seeing Russel Hantz lose AGAIN.

8. Boston Rob nailed him. He plays to get to the finals, not to win.

9. Aw come oh, I loved Russell!

He just has a different strategy and doesn't understand the vote thing at the end. He definitely has a gift out there though for getting people to do exactly what he wants.

11. that was all editing

he actually got very few people to do what he wanted. What he would do is scramble around, tell everybody to do something, then inevitably something would happen that he had said should happen, and he'd take credit for it. When he really needed something done, it rarely happened.

It did happen on occasion (thank, Jerri), but nowhere nearly as often as what the editors and producers wanted us to believe.

I'm just sad I won't see my girl Sandra win it for a third time. :D

[rug]

13. Yeah but Rupert blew it when Sandra gave him his chance.

[skypilot]

18. That's his default position...

...since apparently he doesn't understand the game well enough to know that no matter how brilliantly you play it, you'll lose if no one can stand you. I never had any problem whatsoever with the way Russel played. He was an aggressive player and a master at finding those idols, but from the first time I heard him speak into the camera about how he was going to use people and then "just throw them in the trash" I wanted him to lose. And he hasn't disappointed me. I just can't stand the guy.

7. Me Too!

I like it!

12. Come to the TV Chat Group, everybody

Thanks. :hi:
