Ready for another week, Gasmi? First of all, thanks to you guys for the warm welcome and for all your great comments. Glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks Lil Hantz is a nutbar. And I can’t wait to see what you have to say about this week’s insanity. But first, we have to get through the episode. So let’s get to it!
We start this week with Semhar and her arrival at Redemption Island.
The pain! The pain!
Ah, I see the crabs have been warned about her already.
Semhar is weepy about being voted out and says she feels abandoned by her tribe. She gave them her every last strength and they voted her out. Well, maybe if her every last strength lasted for more than one coconut toss……
She begins building her shelter, working through the tears and tells us that she is able to turn her pain into positivity through poetry. In fact, she’s composed a poem for this very occasion….
Even boobs poppin’ wasn’t stoppin’ my tribe from droppin’……..me.
Trust me, that’s better than the crap that actually came out of her mouth. She misses feeling loved. WAAAAAAH. Shut it.
Over at Savaii, CockRing thanks his tribe five thousand times for not voting him out. He’s determined to become a new man. Ozzy and Keith chat for a couple of minutes saying that maybe when there’s a puzzle CockRing will have a chance to shine. Yeah, but Jim seems like he’d be good at puzzles too, thinks Ozzy. In fact, he tells Keith it might be a good idea to bring Jim into an alliance with them. Keith is on board with this but also plans on keeping a close eye on Ozzy.
Ooooooo……it’s the shortened version of the credits tonight which means there’s probably some good stuff coming our way this episode. I’m so excited!
Let’s see what Loopholo is up to. Coach and Edna are out for a stroll and he thanks her for hanging with him after he lost the first challenge last week. He’s happy that he has a solid alliance of five but also knows you can never have too many friends in this game. He thinks Edna’s loyalty could outweigh strength in this game.
Someone likes me! Someone really, really likes me!
Careful Coach, she may just be after your ass.
Edna and Coach speculate that Christine may have found the idol. After all, she was digging around like crazy yesterday and today she doesn’t seem to be looking anymore. Also, Edna points out, Christine and Stacy are super close. She tells us she knows that she is at the bottom in her tribe and is hoping that an alliance with Coach will help her position in the game.
A different hat may help.
Coach tells her loyalty is the most important thing and also that he is stupid in this game because he is always hoping to find someone that will play honorably. They agree to work together and Coach is going to do his damndest to protect her.
Over at Savaii, CockRing is taking his promise of new manhood very seriously. In d=fact, he is ignoring his mommy’s advice and **gasp** using a machete unsupervised. Sadly no fingers or toes are lost in the process.
He does tell us that the coconut tastes even better because it is the fruit of his labors. Why am I grossed out when he says that?
I dunno, but I am right there with you
Ozzy tells his tribe he’s going to try and get some fishing done and then uses the opportunity to look for the idol. Using his past experience from the show he starts looking around for anything that seems out of place. He climbs a few trees and then notices a rock. Huh. A rock doesn’t belong in a tree, does it?
Come on!
Give me a break. The HII just happens to be up a fucking tree? GAH. I hate that thing. Why do we still have it? Wouldn’t it be a great twist to get rid of it? Think about it. Everyone expects to be able to use that damn thing now; how awesome would it be if they stopped using it? Of course this is coming from a person that has always hated the HII so take what I say with a grain of salt.
Or a few thousand.
He quickly looks for a new place to hide his idol and talks about how dumb he’s been in the past, not using the idol when he had it. He is determined not to let that happen again. He thinks it could be his ticket to the win.
We rejoin Loopholo and Coach is talking to Lil Hantz about how he tried to snuggle up to him the night before.
Dang, that was you? I thought it was that whore flaunting herself again.
Be careful Coach! You don’t want to tempt a married man; he may have to vote your ass outta there.
Lil Hantz really likes Coach, thinks he’s a good guy, and he’s feeling really guilty about not being honest with him about his identity. He decides to break down the truth for Coach and shows him his Lil Hantz tattoo. Coach is a little slow on the uptake and thinks that it can’t be Lil Hantz’ last name. Oh, it is, Lil Hantz tells him; Russell is his uncle.
Can we just take moment and discuss the disturbing blurring once again on this show?
Why the hell is Coach’s entire crotch area blurred? What on earth could be so disturbing to the viewers that it would need to be blurred? Was his little pygmy poking out to say hello? Did the Amazonian natives move on to his penis when their attempt to eat his asshole failed? I NEED TO KNOW.
Ok, sorry. It’s just this blurring and Ozzy’s waist level blurring last week have got me wondering what they’re hiding.
So Lil Hantz asks Coach to keep his revelation on the DL. Coach is speechless at first and then worried because he thinks Russell is his number one nemesis. Is he serious? Yup, He tells Lil Hantz he doesn’t want to be played a fool twice. Oh Coach, maybe stop acting like a fool. That might help.
Lil Hantz tells him he’s made a huge leap of faith here trusting Coach with his secret identity. The only reason he’s doing that is because they have an alliance.
Just don’t tell anyone else in our alliance or I will cut you
They have a little prayer circle to seal the deal because you know when you bring God into reality shows it totally means that you will always be true to your word. Coach tells us “It’s either going to be Coach Wade duped once again in Survivor or it’s going to be redemption for the Hantz family.”
Back at Savaii, Elyse is trying to channel her ancestors in order to catch fish. Her elders ignore her. Ozzy, Keith and Jim head out to fish. This gives Jim the opportunity to break out his three plus two plan which includes an alliance of him, Keith and Ozzy plus the two girls, Elyse and Whitney because eye candy is good for the soul.
I was thinking of a five minus two plan, but that would never work
Keith is happy with Jim’s plan which is surprisingly similar to his and Ozzy’s plan. The difference with this one is that it allows Jim to feel like the mastermind which he clearly needs to be. Keith may be one to watch y’all.
Jim refers to himself as the Architect and says that CockRing, Dawn and Papa Bear will be the next to go because they just don’t fit in. Just as I start to think he has an overinflated view of himself, he acknowledges that just because he’s sitting at the Cool Kids’ Table it doesn’t mean he’s the coolest. Or the second or third or fourth coolest. It’ll be interesting to see how long it is before they kick him out of the Cool Kids’ Club.
We take a quick break and then rejoin Loopholo where Lil Hantz is turning his creep factor up to eleven. The guys decide they’re going to go out fishing and Mikayla joins them. She tells us that she’s a tomboy and she knows the guys think she’s a tough chick.
Lil Hantz probably looked at this and thought “stripper”.
As they fish, Lil Hantz oogles her again and again. He tells us how he doesn’t like her. I think that’s an understatement. Seriously, I think the guy would stone her to death if he could. He is really gross. You know the guy gets a boner just looking at her.
Boners are bad.
He has now dubbed Mikayla “Parvati” because he thinks she is using her feminine wiles to pull people in and get attention. “It’s the ones that are good looking and seductive that you want to get rid of.” Poor Mikayla is completely oblivious to his disturbing attention. The poor girl is just trying to prove that she’s a strong woman and this guy is twisting that into something sinister.
Stop flaunting your boobs at me you harlot!
Lil Hantz has to stay away from this stuff because he’s married. He tells us he’s made some pretty bad decisions in his life but he swears he will get her voted out of this game. CREEP.
I wonder if I can enforce a dress code for all the womenfolk.
While Lil Hantz plots Mikayla’s demise, Christine is idol hunting. No one else is looking for it, but they are all assuming she has it which would make it a smart move for her to find the idol. She finds the clue to the idol, but not the idol itself. Oh, if only she climbed trees like Ozzy, she would be sure to find it.
While Christine is busy looking for the clue, Stacey walks up on a conversation between Coach, Lil Hantz and Sophie. Sophie is talking about the idol and says she thinks that Christine has it, but Stacey tells them Christine has not said anything to her about it.
Like you would tell us if she did
Time for the immunity challenge!
Loopholo walks in feeling super confident.
Despite some rather unfortunate fake teeth
Oh, they’re not fake teeth, it’s some sort of fruit that Coach calls pandera. Apparently it’s super tasty. Jeff wonders what message they’re trying to send to Savaii.
That they suck as much as we are sucking on this fruit.
Cocky much?
Jeff explains the rules of this challenge. Four members of each tribe will race to unwind ribbons from a May pole until they release a set of keys. They will then use those keys to release the other four tribe members, who will work together on a slide puzzle which consists of moving very heavy crates back and forth across a platform, until they can release the largest one. The first tribe to get their crate on the finish platform wins immunity and reward.
Jeff tells them that they’re also playing for reward. The winning tribe will add pillows, blankets and a hammock to immunity if they win. Jeff asks them if it’s worth playing for and I wish YET AGAIN that just one of them would say, “Nope. I think I’ll pass on this one.” Please, someone. I will pay you. Okay, it’ll only be five bucks, but it would be so worth it.
Because they have one extra player, Loopholo has to sit someone out of the challenge. Edna, it’s you kid.
Take yer stupid paper hat and sit yer ass down
CockRing, Dawn, Whitney and Elyse work the pole for Savaii while Stacey, Sophie, Christine and Mikayla are on pole duty for Loopholo. Loopholo is on fire right from the beginning and unbraid their ropes quickly releasing the keys and giving the rest of their team a nice head start to the puzzle.
However, once Savaii gets unlocked and started on their puzzle, they not only catch up but quickly overtake Loopholo. After a huge comeback, Savaii wins immunity.
Suck on THAT Loopholo!
I blame Mikayla.
Wow. That was a pretty impressive comeback, doncha think?
As Loopholo leaves to prepare for the upcoming tribal council, Lil Hantz tells us he is going to make sure that Mikayla goes home tonight. Yes, the demonic vagina MUST GO!!!!!
As Loopholo returns from the immunity challenge, Coach compliments the women for their fast work on the pole. Edna tells the guys that they did well too; she thinks it was a really hard puzzle.
Christine on the other hand, wishes the men had worked a little faster on the crates, so they could have won the challenge and avoided Tribal Council. She admits, “I just hope it’s not me going home tonight.”
You might want to stop making that face then.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS THING?!?!?!?
And why is it undulating in the sand like that? Ewwwwwwwwwwwww.
Coach and his alliance meet to discuss tonight’s boot. He draws on past experience and tells them that they should split the votes between Christine and Stacey just in case they have the idol. Of course the fact that Christine called him a temporary player has nothing to do with his voting strategy, right?
Well, she’s also been eyeing my ass, so I’m a little scared
Coach tells his alliance that even though Edna is totally loyal, she is on a need to know basis only. He’s gonna tell her at the last second to vote for Stacy. Lil Hantz looks thoughtful. Or maybe he’s just constipated.
A little while later, Coach and Lil Hantz share a moment by the water’s edge. Lil Hantz decides to share his doubts with Coach and tells him that he really wants to stone vote out Mikayla. His reason? Because he is faithful to his wife. DUDE!!!!! Get over yourself! Mikayla wouldn’t touch you with a ten foot pole!
He tells Coach he is uncomfortable being around her and Coach loses whatever grudging respect I was beginning to have for him as he tells Lil Hantz he understands. Really, Coach? Lil Hantz goes on, telling Coach he just keeps thinking about Parvati and how she has screwed many a man. “That’s for sure” Coach replies and I think they may be talking about two different kinds of screwing.
Lil Hantz tells Coach he will do what the team wants, but he’ll bitch and moan the whole way. Coach knows voting Mikayla out is nonsense considering she’s the strongest girl on their tribe. Coach thinks Lil Hantz has demons we don’t know about. I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t want to ever know about Lil Hantz’ demons. I’d like to be able to still sleep at night.
When someone tattoos LOCO on their neck, they might be trying to tell you something
Now Lil Hantz is talking to Sophie and Rancher Rick, telling them they have to get rid of Mikayla. Neither of them seems to be interested in his plan either. Sophie is concerned that Lil Hantz seems to want to get rid of a strong woman since she considers herself to be a strong woman too.
Something tells me she’s not going to pop Lil Hantz’ radar.
They all think they’re going to need Mikayla for more challenges. Mikayla picks this moment to stroll over and Coach asks if she could please give them some privacy. Well, I guess that five person alliance isn’t a secret anymore, huh?
Stacey walks over next and Coach walks away. Subtle. Mikayla looks shocked and Albert tries to cover for Coach telling her he thinks Coach is just super paranoid about all the girls right now. Mikayla wonders when she became untrustable.
Are you kidding me?
Edna goes back over by Christine and Stacey to pretend she’s packing her bag and Christine immediately starts grilling her about what was said. She says she doesn’t know, and then says they were talking about booting Sophie. Christine is like Sophie was there you moron, get your story straight if you’re going to tell one.
Bitch, please
Lil Hantz STILL has not given up on the whole Mikayla thing and now goes over to Coach to tell him that Christine and Stacey are all for voting out Mikayla. He confesses, “I just walked up to Coach and I lied to him. If Christine and Stacey vote for Mikayla, it’s because I told them to.” Lil Hantz regrets the lie, but he desperately wants Mikayla and her Jezebel ways gone. Coach is upset with Lil Hantz’s bullying tactics. He is hoping and praying that the people he is aligned with have the character he thinks they do. If not, there’s going to be an ass eating whipping at tribal council tonight.
And this time, it won’t be my ass that’s eaten whipped.
They arrive at tribal council and dip their torches in the fire. Coach jumps right into it, telling Jeff that someone on his tribe told him that Christine and Stacey are voting for Mikayla tonight.
Say what??????
He tells them not to look at him like he’s crazy because Coach in tribal just lays everything out. Coach in tribal also appears to talk about himself in the third person. UGH. He himself does not want Mikayla to go. Stacey and Christine ask did he even talk to them? Nope, he did not. So how does he know who they are voting for? A little demon told him.
Jeff is so glad that Coach is back. I bet. Jeff wonders if it makes Mikayla nervous to hear her name out there. DUH.
Christine and Stacey deny again that they even said that. He didn’t say they said it. Christine wants to know who he heard it from. Albert points out by not telling them that Coach is actually showing loyalty to the person that told him. My head hurts.
Albert also brings up the immunity idol and that it has been a source of paranoia in the tribe. He says that was the raindrop that started the monsoon. Coach says he knows Christine looked for it the first day and he say her digging around again today. She says obviously Coach is threatened by her. Yep, that’s it.
Sure looks threatened to me
Jeff then wonders why Mikayla hasn’t even asked if Christine and Stacey are voting for her. He thinks if she goes tonight it will be the quietest exit he has seen in a while. Mikayla asks them, is it on their mind. Never, says Christine.
Lil Hantz then proves himself to be a bigger idiot than I originally thought and tells Jeff and the tribe that he’s the one that told Christine and Stacey to vote for Mikayla. Is he missing a few brain cells? What a dope.
Albert thinks it’s great when things come to the surface and people start to reveal themselves. A person’s personality and character will creep in no matter how hard they try to mask it. Well, Jeff can’t figure these people out, so it’s time to vote.
We don’t see any of the votes, and then it’s time for Jeff to read them. We get a vote for Sophie, then Edna, followed by Christine and then Stacey. Then Christine, Stacey, Christine, Stacey. One vote left. The second person voted out of Survivor is…….
As Christine arrives at Redemption Island, she tells us she doesn’t really know what happened at tribal. She thinks Coach had a heavy hand in it. She thinks he’s a tool.
She pokes at Semhar, trying to wake her up. “Hello? Wake up. I’m with you know”
Hello! My name is Christine from Long Island. Coach voted me off. Prepare to talk. HALLO!!!!
Don’t get too upset, Christine. She’s probably working on a welcome poem for you.
What did you think, Gasmi? Is anyone else completely creeped out by Lil Hantz? I’m finding it increasingly difficult to believe that this guy could pass a pysch test. I can’t WAIT to hear what you guys think!
SWAK, PottyMouth

OMG, lil Hantz’ is soooo gross! Because he has issues controlling himself, the beautiful woman who is the source of his discomfort has to go? That is so patriarchal and demeaning! I weep for his wife, that’s for sure…
And, I’m sorry, but he’s obviously someone who did a lot of bad things in the past, and has turned to religion to give him the self-guidance that he was not strong enough to give himself, but then to twist that religion to continue to be a creepy asshole? That’s just…crazy!
Also, yes! What the heck is up with the blurring!? I mean, I don’t necessarily WANT to see Coach’s package, but it’s not like I’ve never seen a package in a pair of boxers before…and unless he was just strutting around with one hell of a boner, there’s usually not much to be seen. And if he did have a boner, don’t you think that Lil’ Hantz would have been after him and his Jezebel ways, trying to seduce him with manmeat? I mean, he did try to cuddle with him the night before!
And I would add my $5 to your $5 to hear someone say No to the “Is it worth it?” question that Jeff ALWAYS asks. That’s $10, people! It’s almost a half tank of gas!
Man remember when 10 was a tank of gas
I predict that we’re going to hear more about Li’l Hantz sometime in future newscasts and it won’t be pretty, but it will be creepy. I never thought I’d say this but Uncle Russell seems to be less unsavory–at least he’s all upfront about what he is even when he tries not to be. This creepy kid is just a Bible banging fraud.
@ChaCha: Exactly! I was just thinking more about this (because I have no life
) and at least Russel was like “Yeah, I’m a creep and I like the hot ladies all over the place in a creepy way!” Instead of Li’l Hantz and his “THESE TEMPTRESS WOMEN MUST BE PURGED BY THE HOLY FIRE! WHAT WITH THEIR SEXY LAUNDRY HANGING AND SUCH!” It’s a very Judge Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame vibe. And it’s the whole “Did you see the way she was dressed? She was asking for it!” thing, too…JUST CREEPY AND WRONG AS ALL GET OUT!
Great recap, PM, and yes, I am completely creeped out by that little freak of nature. But I know that the show wants me to be creeped out, so I’m torn. But Bioscotto totally hit the nail on the head with the “She was asking for it” defense. If he hasn’t yet been convicted of sexual assault, I’m sure it’s in his future, and I fear for Mikalia with that complete creeper around.
So gross.
Who wants to bet that Hantzinthepants will find the immunity idol for his tribe? It’s just a feeling I have… since he’s obviously as lame a player as his uncle was (only in a much different way).
I was tempted to root for Coach after the first episode. Now I remember what an idiot he is. Worse, his tribe seems to be allowing him to lead…
Wish that Village People cowboy would speak up.
And Mikayla may have plenty of hot photographs floating around on the internet, she’s no Parvati.
As for the blurring, I can say from experience that when you have a sizeable package, the outline from it can show through tighter fitting clothing. I think that’s what was happening.
And Little Hantz is so gross man. I can’t deal with someone that crazy. It was so awkward for me to watch him that I almost stopped watching and decided that I’d just read about it in recap. He’s just way too creepy and they should really base a horror movie on him where he stalks women because he’s turned on by them. I wouldn’t watch it, but it’d be scary to me.
I think Li’l Hantz is creeping out about everybody who watches Survivor. I’m betting even Russell is a little skeeved. Mrs. crankyguy said that if she were Li’l Hantz’s wife watching him lust after that jungle temptress, then that marriage would be over on the spot.
Having anybody sass Jeff about “Worth playing for?” might be a little much to hope for, but I’m begging Li’l Hantz to wag his finger in Mikalia’s face: “I rebuke thee, Jezebel!”
Another thing: There has to be somebody on this board who can identify that disembodied, gangrenous, undulating intestine-like monster slithering across the rocks. Please let us know. It’s actually creepier than Li’l Hantz.
I’m willing to bet that the producers bent the rules and waived Lil Hantz’s psych test.
What I would really like to see on this show is Mikayla walking around topless. That would just send Brandon over the edge.
It was a good episode. I like the creepizoid element that’s been unleashed. What I also want to see is: More Cockring, more Albert and less blurring.
Your caption about that creepy slithering thing was the exact same thing going through my mind when it was shown. WTF was that??
Lil Hantz is scary. Doesn’t CBS realize that he is not making good tv. Yes, Russel was odd but he was never this level of creepy, he was just good tv. Same with Coach, he makes for good tv but doesn’t actually scare the viewers. I don’t want to know what happens if a Victoria Secrets catalog shows up at his house.
Excellent recap Potty – only one request; can we have a mandatory Albert pic every week whether he is part of the storyline or not? Thank you.
Ah, Mr. D. From your lips to the producers’ ears.
Oh PottyMouth, how I love your Survivor recaps! Hantzie is a few bricks shy of a load and scary to boot! I am sure that the producers ignored the psych eval – how could they pass up this level of crazy? It makes for great tv. Very scary tv but great. Ozzy is getting a little too big for his britches so I would love to see him smacked down. He was my favourite on his two seasons but seems to be reading his press clipppings. Can’t wait for this weeks show…
I think that gross thing is called a sea slug. I took my kids to see Dolphin Tale on Friday and they showed one and called it that. I was excited b/c as I was watching I was like “so that’s what that was on Survivor”.
@Sunshine: I had already looked up sea slug on Wikipedia, but their pictures of sea slugs are cute and friendly compared to that elongated, toxic blob they showed us on Survivor. In Dolphin Tale, it’s the exact same gross thing?
From what I could tell, there are lots of different sea slugs and some are pretty and some look like intestines. I saw this picture which I think is pretty close to the one on the show.
http://a-z-animals.com/animals/sea-slug/pictures/1198/
That’s damn close. It looks like an intestine alright, even laid out in ascending, transverse, and descending sections. So sea slug it is. Thanks Sunshine and Snootchy Bootches.
I had also tried to look for “sea slug survivor” on Google, and was reminded that several seasons back on one of the gross food challenges, sea slug guts shakes were served. Bleh.
Cranky, same thing happened to me.
@Bioscotto Thank god, I thought I’m not the only one who gets “Frollo” vibes from Lil Hantz. Let’s go down the checklist, shall we? 1)Religious freak- Frollo was a priest, lil Hantz is…weird 2)Hot chick who does nothing wrong to them- Esmeralda and Mikayla 3) Develop creepy obsession with said hot chick- check and check 4) Idea that if they can’t have the hot chick, she must be destroyed- Esmeralda SPOILER ALERT is hung and Mikayla? I wish her the best…
@Artemis: Let’s hope the similarities stop BEFORE your 4th point…
It’s just crazy! Blaming the woman for your own issues…figures…
@cranky guy – yes it looked just like it but about 1/4 of the size as the one on Survivor. I googled them as well and your right, they looked much cuter!
Those things wash ashore by the dozens after a storm. They are sea slugs. For some reason, I have never seen any pretty ones wash up..anyway I am sure they are good for something, but you can’t even use them as bait, they just fall apart when you try to hook them.
@crankyguy- Just for shits and giggles you should google
Survivor sea slug images..
Heh..
I get the Li’l Hantz hate because, well, he’s Li’l Hantz, but I don’t understand why people find it so nauseating that he wants to vote out Mikayla simply because he’s attracted to her. We’ve seen people voted out of Survivor for less: being old or being unathletic quickly come to mind. I’d posit the argument that Li’l Hantz’s boner is a good reason to vote out Mikayla: it would refocus his game and he could actually concentrate on winning the million dollar prize. Lying to Coach, alienating an alliance in the process, and burning the members of the tribe not in Coach’s alliance was a terribly bad choice and he has severely diminished his chances to win. However, as creepy as Li’l Hantz may be, conniving to get people out is the name of the game, no matter what shitty reason we’re led to believe.
I have to say that I think old or weak are far better reasons than “I get a boner when she is hanging the laundry.” It’s creepy, and borderline crazy. And vaguely stalkerish. And chauvinistic. And that she is completely unaware of it all from what we know only makes it worse. She’s just hanging laundry, unaware of the creepy-ass prick who is eyeing her through the bushes, all horny but loathing himself so much for his horniness that he blames her and needs her gone to assuage his own guilt. It’s psychotic thinking!
Just finished the recap. Thank You, PottyMouth. Your take on things mirror my own thought’s in many cases. Except I don’t LOL at my thoughts like I do yours.
I Love that you brought up the Edna lie. Sophia was standing there!” lol..That gal is going to have to lie better. And yes, get rid of that hat. Is it some kind of message that she reads every day and then oragami’s it to put back on her head? I am paying close attention to the hat. Asians are smart.
About Brandon. Haven’t been able to find out anything about him other than what is Survivor related. Kinda funny if you ask me. There have been folks on Survivor that have had a little background noise and it was well known. You could google and find out about it. Nothing about this guy. Not even a speeding ticket. Nobody has been able to come up with anything? I am wondering if his last name is really Hantz. It may be his Moms maiden name and he plastered Hantz all over his body as a nod to that side of the family.. Maybe Russell is his Moms Bro.
He didn’t creep me out at first. I thought he had a crush on her or something. But then, when he said something like “She likes everyone but me?”, UH OH.
Coach and his “Ah, I knew it after all” look when he doesn’t have a clue about anything is already annoying me.
As a matter of fact, the only person that really HAD a fucken clue in their tribe was sent to Redemption Island!
TC, Robin
About Edna’s “hat”…my guess was this was an idea from Semhar: they showed the sequence where she’d made toothbrushes for everyone and was trying to convince them to use ashes as toothpaste. It would make sense for her to fashion hats too (this one looks like it was part of the directions to camp?).
Anyway, Edna wearing the hat is good clue to how unaware she is. Around here, a couple days before hunting season starts, the hunters release tons of pheasants. Except the pheasants have lived all their lives around people and just kind of hang out alongside the roads, wandering around wondering how come no one’s putting out feed for them anymore.
Edna reminds me of one of them.
@Bioscotto, I’m not arguing with you that I think Li’l Hantz’s reasons are bad. But, this Survivor is about eliminating perceived threats. If Li’l Hantz does perceive Mikayla as a threat, then he should do what he can do to remove her from the game. At its heart, that’s what Survivor is about. Of course Mikayla won’t perceive herself as a threat. Had Li’l Hantz continue to let the paranoia fester in the tribe, it would have been a much better move considering his move to take out Mikayla failed. I am not arguing that Li’l Hantz isn’t creepy, but I can separate the attempt to take out Mikayla from his obvious attraction to her.
Except it’s way too early in the game to take out one of the strongest players on your tribe. This is why Hantzinthepantz wasn’t being strategic, just a slimy hypocrite. I’m sure he’s also the type who believes rape victims ask for it somehow.
@Derek: It’s not about gameplay, though. If he wanted to get rid of her to get closer to the $1 million, fine. But he wants to get rid of her for f’d up personal reasons. I think that’s where the difference lies.
Unless you are a chimp, orangutan or Ozzy there was no way you were finding that Hidden Immunity Idol. Ozzy did it without clues and just by climbing up a tree that the camera crew was hanging out at. Whew I bet Probst and Burnett can sleep better knowing that the great and powerful Oz has a leg up in the game and that he advanced all through his own efforts.
Mikayla is the alter-boy in the un-holy church of Hantz! I need a Silkwood shower every time I see/hear him.
Ah, Russell Jr. He sparked an interesting theological discussion in my household. I said I thought he was a total creepozoid for wanting to get rid of Mikayla because he wants to bone her. DH said it’s admirable that he recognizes his inability to deal with temptation and so wants to remove that temptation.
Um, so if he finds the chick at the grocery cute he tries to get her fired because, well, he finds her cute? If he has these types of issues, he should remove HIMSELF from the game, not her. But he won’t ’cause he’s a Hantz. Guess that’s my new bestest term for a dickhead. “Hey, look at that guy, what a Hantz!”
Disliking Coach as much as always, finding Ozzy a bit too dumb to be a real contender. I suspect all the real gameplayers are still flying under the radar.
Well, timssister, if you suddenly notice a lot of hot young women disappearing from your neighbor, you’ll know who’s to blame.
“from your neighborhood”
Der.
Indeed. Recognizing your weaknesses, fine. Deciding that the other person has to go and not you due to the weaknesses, not fine. Also, assuming that said other person will EVER be interested in you, or has even noticed you, for that matter, not fine. I think, perhaps, that’s the creepiest thing…the assumption that he could just have his way with her whenever he wanted and therefore needs to get rid of her.
Was Sophia on the show last week? I didn’t remember her at all. Albert either though I’ll remember him now as he’s nice eye candy.
Lil Hantz is a whackjob. I feel so back for Mikayla because she has no clue. I don’t think the Pavarti comparison is fair – at least not yet. I haven’t seen her being anything other than a hard worker and doesn’t seem to be flaunting anything.
I’m not a fan of Ozzy. At least Coach is entertaining to have around even if he has a douche.
Robinez, nobody enjoys a good shit or a good giggle more than I, so I did as you suggested. I was somewhat surprised to find my TVgasm avatar image, but nothing that resembled the creature in question, although I didn’t look at every photo. I take it that you have actually handled these things? If you have, then you are more brave than me.
Your poetry, PM? Far superior to SomeChick’s.
How are we supposed to believe (every year) that with thousands of places to hide the idol, someone finds it without a clue. Look how many trees surround Ozzy’s camp, and he just happened to climb the right one? What a bunch of crap. And I agree…the HII should be terminated.
Lil’ Hantz thinks he has a “secret identity.” Just Like DC Comics’ Byran Brilyant and the Blue Snowman. And LH also mispronounced Parvati’s name as “Poverty.” Right now Pavarti (previous WINNER) is laughing at LH…while Mikayla, seeing this footage for the first time, is preparing to take a three hour shower to try to wash away the skeevy feeling LH gives her.
“Coach compliments the women for their fast work on the pole.” Is it me, or does that sound a little dirty? I’m sure LH would not approve.
Can we start a pool betting on which of Little Russell’s relatives Survivor will next cast? I think they will bring The Troll himself back, but call him the twin brother Darryl.
Thanks for the margarita. My favorite
Who was the guy a few years back who Schoonie quoted as always starting out his comments with, “JEEPERS”?
my guess is he’s cheated on the wifey and is on his last chance with her. she probably warned him that she’d be watching him, so I hope she never sees the footage of him behind the bush pleasuring himself while he prays to god for strength. Honestly, dude, you’ve revealed waaay too much already.
He’s dangerous if you ask me. I agree with the rapist who blames the victim for asking for it. Has even one of us seen one moment when Mikala was asking for it with him, or trying to get his attention in anyway. I would suggest he speak to her, and try to see her as the human being she is and not the sex object. He may still want her, but at least she’ll have a chance to speak. I really, really, really hope someone calls him on this mistaken, misogynist assumption, even Jeff doing so would be fun!
I do think the producers knew how LOCO this kid is . . . . and look, here we are talking about it!
Albert is sooo crush worthy . . . I say please those begging for his pics, Potty-he is not getting enough love from the editors. The single lift he did in the challenge should have been flash backed in slo mo!
I do find the blurring annoying . . . and heavy handed on the men . . . it’s only on a girl if something pops out.
thanks Potty!!!
Oh, and go Christine, whop that Zamfir and her magical flutes!
@crankyguy
I was suprised to see your avitar, too. That’s why I pointed you in that direction.
About touching a slug. Well, after fishing and suds all day, when ya run out of bait you’ll try to put alot of weird stuff on a hook..
@juddfan
I am not trying to put words in your mouth, but after spending time on the bb forum and reading your posts, I think that you made a mistake in your wording when you wrote the second sentance in your second paragraph. It just doesn’t sound like something you would write..
Hugs, Robin
Not to worry, Robin, he just fell into TVGasm’s diabolical no-comment-editing-function trap. Now for the rest of internet eternity, he’ll be forever haunted by the statement: “I agree with the rapist who blames the victim for asking for it.” Poor Judd!
oh jeeze! Thanks guys for pointing that out! hee . . . I keep trying to re-phrase that and failing, but I meant I agree with the others who think that’s the case with LH.
I appreciate that you knew it was a mistake and didn’t just blast me! xoxo Robin and Itchy!
I wish they had an edit button like they did on the forums! At least the rest of the statement is arguing the point . . .
hee… Well, I was just trying to head off at the pass those lovely “Longtime Lurker, first time poster” people who love to jump on honest mistakes like that..
Even creepier is that Mikaila is kind of a tomboy in my opinion…It seems like she’s just unaware of her good body because she is used to hanging out with her brothers who I am sure have always treated like part of their gang….I think LH is both arroused and threatened, and that gives me all kinds of shudders.
Oh, she is certainly aware of her body. If she wasn’t aware before, I’m sure after she did the Playboy pics, she became aware.
I still agree with your take on her though. I don’t think she is using her sexuality. It looks to me, like she is sincerely trying to become a productive member of the tribe. We have seen slutty little wenches on this show before and so far she doesn’t resemble them.
Branded gives me all kinds of shudders, too. And, I have to wonder what the hell is going through TPTB’s mind. Will this play out? And, if it doesn’t, is Branded just going to walk into the sunset in the next couple weeks leaving people with the awful taste in their mouth that they just let a weirdo back into society where there are no camera’s to watch his every move? I mean, TPTB did this whole storyline about him.
Well, thankfully, unlike his Uncle, he kept his yap shut at tribal after he was outed. I just keep picturing the finale, and a recap of his leering creepiness and his having to explain it . . . ew! I certainly don’t want to bash anyone’s religion, who am I, but he seem very insincere in his love of God . . .
@Juddfan – He loves God in that God gives him the ability to be creepy and couch his creepiness in religion…
I know this is a little late to the party, but I forgot to mention our nickname for Samhar… SumHor. I hope she sticks around so that it can get some use. But she’ll probably go down on this weeks episode. Hmm… that sounded dirty. You know what I meant!
oh Snootchy, I bet Christine would be happy to hear SumHor was going to go down!!! Agreed, she’s toast . . . . I’ll be picking her for my next to go.
Okay, seriously… i’m halfway through the third episode, and if Brandon isn’t voted off soon, i may have to stop watching this season. He is absolutely nuts, and not in an entertaining way. Casting him was a huge mistake.
