I knew this week was gonna gross me out, Gasmi. But honestly? I’d much rather be grossed out by food than by never-ending time spent with Hantzypantsy. So really, this week felt like a win!
We start out the show with Stacy’s arrival on Redemption Island. She wakes up Christine who is happy to see her, but not so happy she got voted out. Make up your mind Christine!
I’m glad because I think I can kick my friend’s ass in the challenge tomorrow.
Stacy brings Christine up to date on the tribe happenings, telling her that they are all snakes and Coach is the one running things. Is that supposed to be a big revelation? I thought it was pretty out in the open over at Loopholo. Stacy says they were all pretending like everything was hunkadury at tribal, but it’s all lies straight from hell.
LOLOLOLOL.
I have got to find a way to work some of these Stacyisms into everyday conversations. She is fucking priceless. Stacy continues on her rampage, saying that Coach acts like he is holier than thou but he’s nothing but a joke. She tells Christine she is gonna air ALL the dirty Loopholu laundry, tell all the really truth about Coach at the Redemption challenge.
After the credits (super short again which I’ve now decided is not a portent of awesome things happening but instead a necessity because of Redemption Island bloat) and a quick break, we join Loopholu where Hantzypantsy is crying AGAIN.
Tear Jerk. Errrrrrrr.
Poor little Hantzypantsy is upset because Mikayla said the most annoying thing about him is the fact that he’s a Hantz. He’s a real person, y’all! It’s so prejudiced to dislike him just because of his name!! He thinks the way she handled it shows that she had very little class at that time. HA!!!!!!! Because CLEARLY His Hantzness is someone that should be educating ALL of us about not being judgmental.
I’m no Jezebel
He’s a good person, Gasmi; he has feelings and he doesn’t care what people think about him. Except for that he really does care. A lot.
He reads their treemail and it’s the standard “pick two people to watch” note. Coach is worried about Stacy and Christine flapping their gums. He doesn’t want the other tribe to get any intel from them; that’s what he’s most afraid of today. Well, get ready to face those fears once again Coach!
Albert and Mikayla, and Dawn and Whitney settle in to watch the duel and then Jeff calls in Christine and Stacy. Obviously he’s been clued in to Stacy’s plan so he asks how she feels seeing Mikayla and Albert so soon after they voted her out.
If only I could perform a live embalming.
She says they are liars and warns Dawn and Whitney that they need to watch out for them. But she is not done yet. She says it is Benjamin, Albert and Sophie. Benjamin is running things and Albert is his right hand man.
Benjamin? Who is this Benjamin you speak of?
When Jeff asks does she mean Coach, Stacy says she means Benjamin; she ain’t calling him Coach no how, no way. Benjamin is the name his momma gave him and that’s the names adults should call him. Christine joins in saying Benjamin makes the decisions.
Stacy then says they’re all kids over on that tribe, they’re twenty six, twenty two, and they’re over there listening to all of Coach’s Halloween jokes, Chucky the Cheese jokes……..huh? What the fuck is she talking about?!?!?
What does a ghost eat for breakfast?
BOOberry pancakes. Get it???
Oh that Coach and his Halloween jokes.
Stacy has lost me and has me rolling on the floor as well. She ends her diatribe with a little “Boop” while Albert mumbles about sour grapes.
WTF? He’s wearing a fucking sweater?!? Unacceptable.
Now that Jeff has gotten in a few giggles for the day, he’s ready to explain today’s duel to them. It will all come down to how well they handle balls. A ball will be dropped into the chute where it will then spiral downward until they catch it in their hand. Every few minutes a new ball will be added with the balls alternating left and right until one of them drops a ball. That person will be out.
Stacy and Christine have no trouble handling the first ball, and the second ball doesn’t seem to shake them up too much either. The third ball is a tricky one and Christine bobbles her balls a bit before saving them and herself. Ultimately Stacy’s lack of ball spacing proves to be her downfall as one of her balls falls to the ground, eliminating her from the game.
Balls.
Jeff asks what this challenge meant to her. She tells him she challenged herself; she’s a diva in real life. Hell! She’s a mortician! This is something she never would have done. In spite of everything she had fun and is proud of herself.
Bye Stacy! I will miss your crazy ass sayings!
Albert may be happy to see her go but he is NOT happy about everything she said and he thinks Coach is going to be even more pissed than he is. Yup, probably.
Back at camp, Albert gets to break the bean spilling news to the rest of the tribe. Coach isn’t happy about the outing of his alliance with Albert and Sophie and is PISSED that they were calling him Benjamin. Shit! Even his parents call him Coach for cryin out loud!
Only those ass eating pygmies had the nerve to call me Benjamin!
He promises to go apeshit on anyone that calls him Benjamin so now I’m totally hoping that someone does it. He tells us this has just ruined his day. It sucks. He wonders of his day could get any worse. Oh Lord, looks like crybabyitis is spreading like wildfire over at Loopholu.
Have you been wondering what Savaii is up to? Well, Ozzy and Elyse are still working on their little showmance, hanging out together in the shelter. Elyse is feeling really good about things because she has figured out now that she’s latched on to Ozzy that she is sitting pretty AND doesn’t have to really do anything. She tells us she’s just following Ozzy’s lead, she thinks he can take her far in this game.
If I jiggle his balls every now and then he may take me all the way to final two!
CockRing carries a large pile of wood into camp while Ozzy and Elyse compliment him on his work as condescendingly as they possibly can, comparing him to the little engine that could. Ozzy then quizzes him about how to spell his name and CockRing tells him to banish the thought: he doesn’t want his name anywhere on Ozzy’s lips.
I’m saving myself for Probst.
CockRing tells us he’s working his ass off around camp. He may not be a big provider like Ozzy, but he IS working hard. Seeing Ozzy and Elyse lay around camp all fucking day is really annoying him. Right now he is finding everything about them to be irritating.
Dawn and Whitney get back from Redemption Island and are itching to share the scoop they learned. They tell everyone about Stacy being voted out and that she told them how Coach is in charge and Albert is his lieutenant and Sophie as the third. Ozzy tells them that he thinks if Coach is smart, that he’ll get rid of Albert soon, before the merge.
Why does this food I’m eating taste like foot?
Jim wonders why Coach would want to get rid of one of his allies. Because he’s strong, Ozzy tells them. Jim may be a lot of things, but I don’t think idiot is one of them. He latches on to what Ozzy has said and tells us that he’s pretty sure if Ozzy thinks that Coach should get rid of the strong member of his alliance before the merge, that he might be thinking about doing the same thing to him or Keith. He’s going to file that nugget away and use it to stir up some fear in Keith and possibly get him to vote for Elyse.
I ain’t going down without a fight!
Ozzy tells his tribemates that they just need to focus and stay humble and unified. Silent, Ozzy. You should also stay silent. What a dope.
We head back over to Loopholu where Albert has realized that Stacy’s loose lips could sink HIS ship if he’s not careful. He has decided to focus on finding the immunity idol. In his underwear.
I hope it takes him HOURS
Let me just take a moment for reflection here. What? I just need a little rest. It has NOTHING to do with the picture. REALLY.
He finds the clue! And then he is off to search for the idol itself after spontaneously changing from his underwear into a bathing suit. Hrmph. At least he’s still shirtless.
After climbing a bunch of trees, Albert is starting to get frustrated and flustered. He decides to get a little help and goes off to find Coach and Sophie, hoping to also win some trust points for sharing the clue with them.
Coach tells us that if you want a job done right you do it yourself, and he sets off to find the idol. He searches from tree to tree with no luck so he decides to take a prayer break.
Either that, or he needs to take a dump.
God or empty bowels, whatever it was works because shortly after his prayer dump, Coach finds the idol. He tells Sophie and Albert about his success and he is practically beaming, he is so happy. He tells us this is the most exciting moment in the sixty seven days he’s played in this game so far. He admits he’s not running the show, but at the moment? He thinks he’s coming pretty close.
I will now talk about myself in the third person while patting myself on the back and jerking myself off.
You know, Coach is a pain in the ass at the best of times, but a full of himself and his awesomeness Coach is insufferable. Shit. The clue all but said it was in a tree! It’s not like you had to be a mensa candidate to find it.
What exactly are you trying to say?
Oh Albert. You’re so cute.
Back at Savaii, CockRing has decided to join Ozzy on a fishing trip. He admits he doesn’t have any outdoorsy skills, but he wants to step up. He’s hoping that it will be a bonding experience and help change the opinion of him that his tribemates have. He really wants to fit in as one of the guys.
Someday you will be posting a picture of ME in my underwear!
While Ozzy fishes he tells us that he may make fishing look easy to those of us at home, but it’s really super hard and takes a lot out of him. He tells us it’s like underwater yoga. I guess alignment is much more important than I realized!
Of course, he doesn’t mind being viewed as the provider of his tribe. He tells us that he thinks it puts him in a stronger position than anyone else and he really feels like they are becoming HIS tribe. That seems like it could be the case as he is greeted by his tribe with cheers for all the fish he has caught.
CockRing is not an adoring fan. He’s grateful for the fish, but he thinks Ozzy is getting more credit than he deserves. He remembers watching Ozzy on his previous seasons and being impressed by his Mowgliesque-ness. Funny. I don’t recall Ozzy having a talking bear or panther as his sidekicks last time around.
CockRing thinks that Ozzy has faded into a sort of middle aged Ozzy. He has a few moments of glory each day when he runs around and gets some fish. Other than that, he’s a bit of a lazy ass. “He’s becoming the arrogant fisher boy, jungle boy who feels like he can do no wrong and he’s entitled to our deference.” Tell us how you really feel, CockRing!
I am SICK of seeing this…….
I have to say, I don’t remember Ozzy sleeping this much the last two times he played, do you Gasmi?
It’s time for the combo challenge! That’s right; we’ve got yet another combo immunity/reward challenge. Have I mentioned lately that I hate these? UGH. I miss separate challenges.
Enough of my futile complaining. Time to get to the challenge.
Vegans may want to leave the room
After getting the immunity idol back from Dawn, Jeff is ready to explain the challenge to them. Each tribe has a roast pig. (Evilly I was sad to see that the head wasn’t left on). They will all have their hands tied behind their backs, and they will have to bite off hunks of the meat and spit it into their team basket. The tribe with the most meat in their basket after ten minutes will win.
In addition to immunity, they will win the reward of veggies, bread, and spices, and another clue to the hidden immunity idol. Jeff’s gotta make them say it’s worth playing for before he starts the challenge, so they humor him and give him the affirmation that he so desperately needs.
This is my c’est la vie pose. Worth the eight hours of practice? Hello? Is it worth it?!?!?
I have to include this picture because Hantzypantsy looks so goofy in it.
The challenge starts and both tribes are really going at it, biting chunks off their pigs and soon their faces are slathered with sauce. (Evil thought number two: I wish they had slathered the pigs with hot sauce). What follows next is shot after gross shot of pig chunks flying out of everyone’s mouths, along with copious amounts of spit (and in some cases what looks like phlegm and possibly a little puke).
I’m not gonna lie, Gasmi; there were a couple of times watching this that I dry heaved a little. The food stuff is always what gets to me.
SO NASTY. Keith gets held up when a piece of meat gets stuck in his teeth. He can’t get it out since his hands are tied behind his back, so Dawn helps out by picking the stuck meat chunk out of his mouth with her teeth. EWWWWWW. Jeff admires their teamwork.
Before long, Coach is biting meat out of Edna’s mouth, Rick is getting all up in Hantzy’s grill, and Mikayla is biting up meat right off the ground. Jeff’s comment that the challenge is disgusting is an understatement. I don’t know how he not only watched but maintained a running commentary throughout that.
As Jeff calls time, Ozzy has picked up the entire remaining pig in his teeth. He totally plans on carrying that over to the basket, but Jeff tells him to drop it.
You gotta give him an A for effort
Jeff weighs the meat. Savaii is first, and has harvested 22 pounds, 12 ounces of meat into their basket. Impressive. Loopholu’s meat is weighed next and they have 22 pounds, 14 ounces. Wait, what?!? Holy crap, Gasmi! That’s super close! So Loopholu wins the challenge by a margin of 2 ounces.
Ozzy is a great sport, repeating “No fucking way” over and over and over.
This is YOUR fault, Probst!
Jeff tells Loopholu that they not only win the veggies, bread, and spices. They also get to take back all their chewed and spit out meat!! Double Ewwwwwwwwww. You know those fuckers are gonna eat that half chewed meat! SO FUCKING GROSS. “Spit and all!” cheers Coach. Blarf.
Savaii is left with nothing but the taste of bitterness, defeat, and their tribemates in their mouths. I bet that had that ash toothpaste from Semhar now!
Once back at Loopholu, Hantzypantsy takes on the cooking duties as he comes from a long line of Cajuns. As much as I think he’s an ass, he does make it look pretty good, and everyone chows down on their spit marinated pork fest. Hanzty tells us today was more positive energy and he believes they’re a team and a family.
Until Mikayla flaunts herself again. Then we’ll stone her.
At Savaii, they are reflecting on the challenge with disgust. Elyse thinks they’re all going to get pig gut break outs, while CockRing adds that they could have all contracted oral herpes. No one finds him amusing, so he asks if anyone wants him to open a coconut. Well, it’s an established fact that freshly opened coconut is a surefire cure for oral herpes. Or is that gential herpes?
Here, try rubbing this on your vag.
So helpful, that CockRing. That has not gone unnoticed by Ozzy, but he tells us it’s too little too late. Ozzy confirms with his other tribemates that it’s going to be CockRing, but Dawn tells us that she is ready to break up Ozzy and Elyse. Once CockRing confirms that she is going to vote for Elyse, he runs over to Jim to break the good news.
Jim can do math, so he knows they need one more vote to get Elyse out. Activate Operation Get in Keith’s Head. Jim reminds Keith about Ozzy’s comment that Coach should get rid of Albert, and says if they take Elyse away from him, he won’t be able to make any moves without them.
And by “Us”, I mean ME.
Keith’s not thrilled that they won’t be telling Ozzy because he has such a strong bond with him. He’s worried that Ozzy won’t trust him later. He discusses the situation with Whitney and she says they’re trying to figure out a way to weasel around this and still keep their alliance strong. She’s wishing they could vote for someone other than Elyse and just let the other three vote out Elyse. Either way, then she’s going and they had a hand in it; there’s no way to keep their hands clean in this one.
Jim gives CockRing the good news and he is SO HAPPY. He knows Ozzy is not going to be happy about Elyse going, but he doesn’t much care.
Time for tribal council!
Jeff starts by asking Ozzy to impart some wisdom on where they are at right now. Ozzy says that at this point it’s too early to think about the merge and they are concentrating on keeping the tribe as strong as possible.
Jeff wonders how Elyse would describe a strong tribe member. Well, she wouldn’t just use physical strength to define it (DUH), but also would consider contribution to camp life, and social skills and graces.
That is INCORRECT
We all know Jeff wanted to yell that out at that moment. To him the physical strength has ALWAYS been the most important. He wonders how CockRing feels about Elyse’s definition of strength. CockRing takes a loooooooooong time answering, but yeah, he’s a bit worried.
He does make sure to point out that it was really close and they all put in their best effort in this challenge. Jim says this is the least of the finger pointing challenges, and in fact, they all have some sort of injury related to the challenge.
Jeff polls the tribe, seeing who has what injury, and it seems like most of them consist of scraped gums and lips. Dawn has a chipped tooth, and not to be outdone, Ozzy may have slightly dislocated his jaw. Um, sure. Okay.
Ouch.
CockRing is shockingly the most descriptive of the bunch, and Jeff gets his “here we go again” face on, and asks how annoying it is to the rest of the tribe. Dawn thinks he’s a bit of a character, but also endearing. She does point out that not everyone appreciated his herpes humor, but he’s teaching her to be more tolerant.
Keith is not amused. He thinks it’s gross and he doesn’t want any sort of disease from someone else’s mouth. He concedes that the intention may have been to make everyone laugh, but he only succeeded in grossing everyone out.
Of course CockRing does not feel good about these comments, and says these comments hurt and he’ll probably obsess about them later, if there is one. Elyse can really feel for him and says they’ve all been in that position, everyone has been picked last for soccer at some point.
Uhhhhh……nope.
CockRing doesn’t play soccer. He says everything aside, he may have some quirks that people find annoying, but he thinks that people DO take to him. And with that, it’s time to vote. We see Jim vote for Elyse, Ozzy for CockRing (or Coch-Train, as he likes to call him), and the rest are left a mystery.
When Jeff reads the votes we get CockRing, Elyse, CockRing, Elyse, Dawn (WTF?!?!), and Dawn. So Keith and Whitney pussied out on the Elyse vote. So we’re down to a three way tie. The person going home tonight is…….
Looks like the blow job shoppe is closed
Ozzy looks PISSED. I love it! Hey, you gotta love a good blindside!
Elyse admits she didn’t see it coming. The circle of trust is broken! FOREVER.
Next time, Coach sees Russell when he looks at Hantzy, Ozzy has a temper tantrum and declares himself a free agent, and Savaii struggles with a wheelbarrow of coconuts while Albert runs around shirtless. Fun!
What did you think of this week’s episode, Gasmi? Were you cracking up at Stacy and Christine calling Coach “Benjamin”? What about his reaction to his NAME? Would you eat spit covered pork? And did you enjoy the blindside as much as I did? Can’t wait to hear what you guys think!!!
SWAK, PottyMouth

Most. Disgusting. Challenge. EVAH! OMG…I can’t even think about it without gagging! Glad to see the great and powerful Oz taken down a notch! Great recap as usual, PottyMouth! *MWAH*
Shouldn’t the caption for Albert’s first photo be “WTF? He’s wearing clothing? Unacceptable.”
I am not an Ozzy fan this season (I don’t remember his previous seasons). He is bringing nothing to the tribe but his ego is huge. I agreed with all cockRing said about him. Why is cockRing still so pale? On that same note, are they supplied with sun screen. They never address the issue of super sunburn which can be super painful and dangerous.
The highlight of this episode was Hottie McFineAss looking for the HII. You could bounce a quarter off those buns.
Okay..Survivor newbie. And forgive me if certain things never crossed my mind. Yes, I wondered about how the ladies remained hairless on the island (waxing only lasts a few weeks) and how the tribes brushed their teeth, but it never occurred to me to wonder how they were able to poo in private. Do you think a camera follows them around, thinking they are searching for the Hidden Immunity Idol, only to find out they just want to shit in the woods? Is it taped and then discarded when it doesn’t pertain to the story line? Or can a tribe member yell “Diarrhea!” and be guaranteed ten minutes camera-free?
I suspect everyone has been caught on camera taking a mighty dump, so my next question is..toilet paper or leaves?
LilHantz says he comes from a long line of Cajuns. I can’t help but recall the Cajun firefly in The Princess and The Frog, slapping his ass. “Women like a man with a big back porch!”
Are all Cajuns the same height?
In the old days, the Survivors were so hungry, most of them didn’t need to shit. But just in case, behind the wall of palm fronds is a port-a-potty. Behind that is the four-star hotel where the rest of the crew lived during filming.
Also, Stacey threw the challenge. Idiot. Why bother coming on Survivor if you’re going to give up so easily? It was pretty clear she’d have beaten ol’ shakyhands Christine.
I’m kind of pissed Elyse was voted out (Ye Olde Blowjob Shoppe! Hooray for Pottymouth!), but only for the eye candy. I have developed a penchant for Southern Accent Blonde Gal, whom I forgive for wearing a cross dangling between her tits simply because it’s…well…it’s dangling between her tits.
I’m really hoping they’ll vote off both Coach and Ozzy. Both of them suck. I kind of like watching Hantzypantzy digging his hole a little bit deeper every week.
FYI – they are supplied with sun screen and (I think) some anti-bug stuff because of previous seasons when contestants had long-lasting effects and some scarring from sun and bug damage.
Can’t read the recap until later, but it will be the highlight of my afternoon
I read an interview where Jeff said that originally it was a full pig with snout and tail, but that HE was grossed out by it and asked that it be made less recognizable. The glaze/sauce was added to compensate for that. I was able to watch…once I took my glasses off. I’m looking forward to Ozzy’s hissy fit this week.
Who is that guy with the handlebar moustache and cowboy hat that only shows up for tribal counsels. Is he Mister McStealthy? I never see him doing anything. You can call Coach Benjamin if you like but I think he’s a Dick. As for Ozzy Bear, give me a break. Ohh, and I hate HantzinthePantz and despise that HArvard lawyer, Johnny Cockring .
In the early seasons, I think each person was allowed one “luxury item” like a hygiene item–i.e. toothbrush, razor, etc. Sometimes items would be shared–gross! The women tended to get rather hairy over the course of the seasons.
Yes Albert wore the sweater to the RI challenge, but did you notice how hit brought out the color of his eyes? Yeah, me either. If only that challenge was Albert on a spit, I’d have no problem taking a bite outta him.
Great recap Potty and thanks for the pics!
Something tells me your sudden infatuation with Mr. McFineass has not much to do with his intelligence and quick grasp of strategy.
Speaking of which, Mikayla should have been given MVP for that competition, since picking the piece off the floor is what won it for them. Harrumph.
Nothing sudden about it, just haven’t over-commented on it. Intelligence and strategy is not a requirement for eye candy. Heck, I picked Cockring for MVP for crying out loud.
If you will eat pork, then pork with cooked with a little human spit can’t be any worse can it? A pig is a filthy, filthy animal which any good Bible thumper like Li’l Hantz should know that Leviticus forbids God’s children to eat. It’s the blood, fat, muscle and other bodily fluids from the INSIDES of a dead shit-eating scavenger. So, the most disgusting thing about the pork is that it has spit on it? Gimme an eff’n break.
@crankyguy – are you being serious? Pigs don’t go to the bathroom where they sleep, the roll in mud to cool down because they don’t have a lot of sweat glands and it helps prevent sunburn. They keep their homes (where they sleep) clean and dry, they don’t like to live in mud.
This challenge was still gross but it would have been gross no matter the type of meat. I’m guessing it was a pig because it was readily available. What made it worse was all the hidden cameras – in the basket, on the pig stick, etc. I wonder if they had to put it down a little lower so Hantz could reach it??
Yeah, carol. I’m serious. They are scavengers whether or not they shit in their bed, which I never accused them. I’m saying that human spit on clean meat, say goat, which is rinsed off before cooking is less gross than eating pork which never had any spit on it. It sounds like you might be one of those people who keep a pig as a pet, and are therefore quick to defend how smart and clean they are. OK, but if you look at how the vast majority of pigs that go to slaughter are raised, it ain’t clean, and it ain’t pretty. It’s a lot more disgusting than some spit.
If you like, I can tell you about my aggie former roommate’s masters thesis on minimizing the cost of raising hogs up to market weight.
I’m also eagerly awaiting Ozzy’s hissy fit. I hope there is a close up of Ozzy’s face, with one tear rolling down his cheek, after he declares he’s a free agent. That will make me slap my leg and laugh.
I couldn’t understand half of what Stacy said at the ball competition. She always sounds like she’s speaking in code or in a foreign language to me. She needs subtitles.
I’m glad BEEFY Jim is on Cockring’s team because we wouldn’t have had the outcome we had (at Tribal Council) if it wasn’t for Jim.
Loved loved, loved this episode. Tribal council and resulting votes reminded me of Survivor of yesteryear, where who’s voted off is not a foregone conclusion and there was still some suprise element. That’s why I stopped watching Survivor for a few years. It just seemed like people without any strength or beauty just allowed themselves to be picked off every week. I am impressed that Cochran has managed to survive this long when it was obvious he was gonna be an easy target from the beginning.
The pigs I eat don’t roll around in mud (most of the time). They’re happy pigs grazing (!) in grass and rooting around for roots and grubs and other goodies in the woods. They’re also quite intelligent and very clean. Don’t blame the pigs for the horrible treatment given to them by humans. And the old food taboos against pork had more to do with a poor understandind of HUMAN hygiene, as well as a lack of refrigeration. Again, don’t blame the pig because people are idiots!
And no, I don’t keep a pet pig. But I agree, stay away from the pork you find in most stores, and even most butcher shops (if those still exist?). That stuff is nasty, nasty shit. I hate to eat the meat of tortured animals.
Also, Hantzypantzy’s a born again. They don’t think the old rules apply. In fact, they don’t think any rules apply to them, well, not really. When push comes to shove, all they need do is reinterpret a line from their handbook, and they’re good to go.
Itchy, I don’t blame the pigs. Not even the shit-eating ones. We have several St. Bernards, one of which eats shit. We love her anyway.
And yeah, Born Agains like Li’l Hantz don’t think much of anything in the Old Testament applies to them.
I had a dog like that. Used to lick his balls. THEN he’d want to snuggle. Thanks, buddy!
If a man (or dog) loves you as much as he does his balls then you are treasured indeed!
crankyguy – I don’t have pigs as pets but I used to have neighbors that did raise pigs that used to be in the movie industry (retired to the farm instead of slaughtered). They were scary smart. The meat/poultry industry in this country can be awful. If people knew how most chickens were raised before being killed/plucked/clean and then sold, not many people would eat chicken. I went on a tour of one in Maryland and I did not eat chicken for a year. The same can be said for most animals that are consumed – cows, calf, pigs, duck, rabbit, frogs, buffalo, lamb, etc. And no, I am not a member of PETA or a vegetarian. And yes, not all animals are raised this way but a majority are to keep the costs down. If you don’t want to eat pig, you might want to start reading the ingredients on products, a lot of commercial gelatine comes from pigs & cow hooves.
Okay. I feel really selfish for having kept this to myself all this time. But I suppose the best thing to do is just tell you and get it over with. Go back and watch Albert pumping the crank in that one crank turning challenge earlier in the season…you know, that one. I think they must have been on the fence as to whether or not to blur, and went with not. Your welcome.
Thanks so much for the Albert photos. I had to miss the episode and wasn’t planning to watch it; especially because of the gross-sounding challenge. Now I think I’ll have to at least fast forward to a few choice spots.
Muchas gracias!
Redemption Island is dumb enough, but allowing bitter inferior players to shoot their mouths off in an attempt to screw up the games of better players is ridiculous. There should be a rule that the RI challenge players are to be seen and not heard.
@JasonR, if they were better players, they wouldn’t have alienated Stacey to the point of her wanting to “ruin their games.” After being voted out, I don’t see where Stacey owes the tribe any loyalty not to spill tribal secrets and expose any alliances that she perceives to be the case. Your thesis has a fault in it: you’re assuming the other members of the other tribe actually will pay attention to what Stacey said and that her comments will have relevance come the merge.
Derek one of the things that was great about pre-Redemption Island Survivor was that you could blindside and doublecross a tribemate and one the person was gone, you just had to make sure you could make a case for yourself with the remaining people. Letting the bitter vanquished actively sabotage people is only going to give incentive for people to be more timid and not make big moves/blindside people. I’d like to see Survivor get back to its roots (no returning players, no “hidden” immunity idols, no redemption island, and actual physical survival being a factor. For the last few years it seems like the cast are really coddled, not like the good old days when Elizabeth Hasselbeck’s hair was falling out in clumps and people were passing out in the campfires.
“. I’d like to see Survivor get back to its roots (no returning players, no “hidden” immunity idols, no redemption island, and actual physical survival being a factor”. I had read so much about the horror of being on Survivor I had to check out the show…by the time I started watching all of the above minus RI was in play. I tried to understand how much ‘surviving’ they were doing with a supply of rice,store bought fishing equipment access to flint etc. I was floored when i saw pillows and chairs in the mix. All and all I still love the show(even though the love would be deeper if they freaking go back to Thursdays), but I think it should be harder…Survivor: Back to Basics…….Survivor: Sole Survivor Returns…..Survivor: Actually Surviving
I think Rob Mariano killed the idea of actually having survival skills being necessary in his first season where he sat on his ass all day whining about the ex-Air Force guy wanting them to do such stupid things like build a shelter and gather food and all he wanted to do was lie around and play with Sarah’s fake boobs. So they voted Hunter off because he was a downer and their team was like a bunch of baby birds who needed saving.
So they staged a “tribal swap” (it might have been planned ahead of time, though) where he went from being certain fodder to being on the stronger team. Still lost, though, because he was a buffoon.
So many things that went wrong can be traced back to Boston Rob.
6 degrees of Boston Rob?
“prayer dump” Hee!!!
Great recap. Thanks for the shirtless pics!!
How did they manage to split Evan’s (from RW/RR Challenge)ass and put each cheek on a spit? Some people will do anything to be on TV!
Marlboro Man FTW
Thanks Pottymouth.
How was it that Ozzy could take the entire portion of meat, spit and all off the rotisserie? You would think that it would be locked down pretty good while the challenge was going on so that it wouldn’t fall off. There were 7 people gnawing away..up, down, side to side after all. It never slipped, never fell off for either team..but he was able to pick it up by himself when the challenge was over?
Just something that I questioned. Not a game changer, but it looked like editing was in play.
I also think that a show that is giving away a million dollars should be able to provide a more acurate scale then a spring loaded veggie scale. How the hell can they get an accurate measure from a spring loaded scale when the weight was over the capability of the scale? That could be a game changer. Especially when you are dealing with ounces as a final determiner.
The only good thing about this episode was that somebody got blindsided, finally. The bad part was that they did it cowardly.
It doesn’t matter if the scale is accurate in a real world sense, only that it performs equally for both buckets, i.e., the comparison is accurate. And I just have to assume it did. I don’t believe the producers would willingly fuck around with golden-boy Ozzy’s strategy. And they certainly wouldn’t deliberately allow the nicest (female) eye-candy of the season to be voted out that quickly.
@Tadow, please post a link. I already erased it from my DVR
I watched my first episode of Survivor last week and I was kinda disappointed. I expected to see more “surviving” and not so much seeing people kinda hanging out in hammocks. And the pork challenge thingee just grossed me out. I did like the part where they voted Elyse off the island…..but I don’t get the concept of redemption island. I’ll watch again this week to see if it gets any clearer.
@lindaw205-Redemption Island was started last year because in some of the past seasons they had people just up and quit. I believe it was two seasons ago that Naoinka and some blonde chick both quit the same day and it was late in the season, maybe day 30 or something, but anyway when people quit they don’t have enough people for the eliminations to last the season. Sorry to ramble, but any how they started redemption island so that they would always have an extra player in their pocket. Like I said before it started last season and this poor guy Matt spent 90% of his time there. He won all the challenges, but because he was alienated from the other players he had a hard time having knowing what was really going on back at camp. Eventually the player at RI gets to come back into the game, usually when the tribes merge. I hope I cleared it up some what.
Matt was also an idiot, which didn’t help his cause much.
@itchy – True dat! Matt was a total idiot and didn’t help himself at all. I’m still chuckling over Matt telling Boston Rob his plan to blindside him, but don’t worry I’m on your side now.
@featherhead – thank you, that helped quite a bit!
