Haha! Lisi's face-plant was awesome. What made it even funnier was that she fell because she tried to run. Why even run? It's not a race, dumbass.

The Lisi face plant was the best thing to happen this season!!! This is really the end of a great show. Last year the mutiny scared us and made us really want the underdogs to win and they did! Now even the underdogs suck. With the exceptions of Yau, Earl and maybe Michelle and Cassandra. RIP Survivor.

aw- Alex captioned himself!

Very funny recap Schoonie!

Only 9 pages? Come on!

The Lisi fall was great. The fact that Yau did not find the idol was not. Dig man- DIG!

AND a Veronica Mars reference!

You did that for me didn't you Schoonie? Love ya! :)

When Lisi fell, I said, "OMG! Schoonie's going crazy right now!"

Great recap - even if you DID forget your jampony shout out!

I was disappointed in Probst - he missed a great mocking moment. When Boo arrived at the reward challenge eating a mango, Probst made sure that Ravu knew it was a burn on them. He made sure to rile Rocky up with how Boo was eating in front of the starving losers.

When Earl returned from Exile he was chomping away on a mango. I thought he was doing it to show off back at Boo (and Probst) but it went without mention.

The ONLY way that Lisi face plant could have been any better is if Rocky was underneath her and had been flattened like a cartoon character.

I actually included it, but it disappeared from the final draft because I thought it might be inappropriate for a male to be all, "I want to slap her!" even though I do. No offense to jamp!

Since I have class on Thursdays at 8 and can't watch Survivor, I am always anxious to read your recaps. You always do such a good job of pointing out all of the funny things but still explaining the gist of the episode. My roommate always looks at me like I'm crazy when I laugh out loud reading your recaps. Keep up the good work, Schoonie!

::Clapping::

Thanks Schoonie. I've been bustin you the past few weeks for the long recaps. This was perfect length. It really does make for an easier read. I actually got to finish this one - Good Work!!

I actually wasn't making a concerted effort to make it shorter this week, I think there was just less to touch on. The next one could be epic. But maybe I'm just getting better at this or something. Thanks for the compliment!

Schoonie, your recaps are getting better and better each week, and they were pretty good to begin with.

As soon as Lisi hit the deck I was thinking about how somewhere out there you were also thanking the Survivor gods for this wonderful gift.

In every group of guy friends, there is a guy like Rocky. Inevitably the scrawniest guy, he is quick to run his mouth and start some fight he has no hope of winning without everyone coming to his recscue.

I used to feel bad for Ravu, but after that reward challenge, no more. Their brains are either turned to mush from hunger or they are just retarded. How could NO ONE even try to just sidestep when a Moto member came barrelling across the platform and do an "Ole!" and let them go flying into the water by their own momentum?

P.S. loved the gratuitious "Friday Night Lights" reference. Since there are only about 100 of us nationwide watching that show, that was a serious in-joke.

I absolutely LOVE Friday Night Lights. Now that The Wire is gone for a while, that show is seriously the best thing on television right now, and it's such a pity that more people don't watch things like that and Veronica Mars instead of shitty American Idol. Gross.

I really didn't care one way or another about Lisi until I started reading your recaps - then my loathing started to grow. I think it's too bad that Ravu couldn't put in a gratuitous cross-camp vote for Lisi as she was being the epitome of a complete tard - I hope there are more pratfalls in our future.

I'm gonna go with the prediction that a certain little Asian man has indeed found the immunity idol and he's just not letting anyone know. With all of the riveting drahmah going on (/sarcasm) I think that him pulling the idol out at the opportune moment will be beautiful, so the producers are going along with his schemes. He's too smart to not have figured out how to get in the ground - after all he is of the "breaking open the box by cracking it in the corner" physics genius.

HILARIOUS. schoonie, i feel the same way about 'cheaters.'

this recap was a nice antidote to the episode itself, which i find unbearably painful to watch. yes, we had lisi's absurdly ridiculous faceplant to enjoy, but, at the end of the day, the bitch got a free pass once again, and got to sit around being a smug cunt towards Dreamz, who, whatever else you want to say about him, has been strong in the challenges (which, i think, is why they didn't cut him instead of lilliana).

stacy and lisi's treatment of dreamz and cassandra was NAUSEATING. i don't think i've been so disgusted with a pair of survivors since jenna, heidi, alex, and rob c. sunbathed while butch, christie, and michael hauled the firewood and water. of course, three out of those four eventually got their just desserts, so hopefully the same will happen to stacy and lisi--SOON.

kudos to alex for being the only person on his team to show a shred of sense or decency.

this is the silver lining: whenever a team is just getting creamed, and there seems to be no hope in sight, burnett comes up with a way to enable them to flip the tables. we saw it last season, and, judging from the previews, it's going to happen again, at least to some small extent.

i'm really praying that the earl/yau-man alliance endures. they are patient, decent, and good-natured even when they're getting their noses literally rubbed in the mud.

as i've said before, the 'luxury' concept sucks, because, aside from a single, closely contested challenge, the moto tribe has done nothing to earn their advantage.

at any rate, i am glad to have had a few laughs with this re-cap, because the show was torture for me. me and mrs. jack watch every week with our hardcore survivor-nut friends; usually we're all laughing and cracking up, but this week, it was like watching the funeral of a five-year old cancer patient--twice. thanks, schoonie, for the much-needed comic relief.

Schoonie, AWESOME recap! Enjoyed it very much, thank you!

"Take the points where you can get them, Chivalry McOldman."

This made me laugh so hard, I almost peed a little.

Best recap this season so far.
