Bad news. The official TVgasm Tivo didn't record the first half of Survivor tonight. Yeah, I know. We're getting a hard copy tomorrow. Look for the recap on Monday, if not sooner...

Tony:

If B-Side is be recapping, I'm in heaven.

TV-Eyes:

Ahhhh...something to look forward to...

America's Next Top Fan:

I'm having TVGasm withdrawls

Papercuts!:

You guys MUST include a side-by-side comparison of Jim and that creepy "God is in his holy temple" dude from Poltergeist 2. Jim was the spitting image of that guy!

Lyndsay:

Noooo!! I missed the premier last night, and I was hoping you guys could fill me in!!! Now I have to wait until Monday... Stupid technology.

Todd:

Having Bobby John and Stephanie back is just annoying. I think I was one of the few that just couldn't stand Stephanie. I guess she has taken over as Burnett's favorite from Rupert. Which is only a slight improvement.

Bobby John doesn't bother me as much, but I still don't see the point.

They had to bring back Stephanie, they needed a black girl...

Andra:

That's bullshit!

How can you do this to me? How will I live till Monday? Next you'll tell me you are not recording BB tonight. Fuckers.

Lady J:

It was intense. I was sure somebody was gonna die or freak out and quit.

is:

I can't waith for your recap.
My stupid little town's cable was down for two hours during Survivor and Apprentice.

America's Next Top Fan:

Was the Apprentice on last night? Now I'm pissed.

The Apprentice doesn't start until NEXT thursday, Sept. 22 at 9PM. The Apprentice: Martha Stewart starts on Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 8PM.

Matt:

What's to recap? It was the puke episode. It was a cacophony of vomiting. They should have set it to music. I've never seen so much barfing. Remember they used to just allude to it, "oh, she's sick" now, full on money shot. I can't remember anything else that happened, because I was so stunned from all the puking. But I'll tell you this much. Jeff Probst is awesome.

shelley:

i was so shocked they actually SHOWED the puking!

"full on money shot" is right. it almost had me puking too. I had to mute it and turn away until my son told me the puking montage was over. blaa!

Agree. Vomiting is bad enough when it's happening to you, but watching somebody else...ick, why torture yourself?

callygirl:

Interest in Survivor was dropping off a bit until last season when the accident of one team being completely unable to win a challenge got some viewers to tune in again. I guess this time around, the producers are going to make sure we have drama unlike what we've had before by driving people past the point of losing weight and getting whiny or bitchy and straight to the point of near-death experiences, complete with multiple vomit-cam shots.

tv freak:

Jim is so stupid. For those of you who didn't catch the votes during Jim's final words, who does he vote for? Blake, who was weak? no. Judd? no. Bobby Jon? no. Magaret the nurse who helped everyone and wouldn't be voted off? yes. When he said he tore a bicep, I didn't realize that a bicep is the same thing as a brain cell.

The Dogg Pound:

TV Freak, I think the only reason Jim voted for Margaret is because he knew no one else would vote against her. In case, the vote was surpisingly close, he didn't want to somehow end up being the deciding vote.

And may I just say that last night's Survivor was absolutely disgusting? I was watching with my eyes closed for most of the episode.

Helenann:

Barfcam....I must admit, it was starting to sound like: Survivor:Vomitorium. I was very surprised Probst didn't talk about it..."Bobby Jon, are you ashamed of cramping up, whining, passing out, being a burden to your team and barfing like a wussy boy?"
I think the Vomitmontage would do best to the tune of The Blue Danube... :)

Victoria:

Bobby Jon is back and I'm in heaven!! I love him so much, I don't even care about the vomiting, although it was terribly disgusting. I was afraid for his life, because CBS would totally let him die for the ratings.

Alon:

Ah, seriously guys -- have you not heard about the magic of Bittorrent? You can have full, HD-quality copies of just about every show on your computer just a couple of hours after it aired. If you're not familiar with it, TV freaks like yourself should check it out immediately. I have a feeling you won't rely as heavily on the Tivo after that.

You should start by downloading Azureus from http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

Next, you go to www.mininova.org and do a search for 'survivor' (I'll save you some time -- just go directly to http://www.mininova.org/tor/111026). Download the tiny .torrent file, open it in Azureus, go for dinner, and two hours later the show will be ready to go.

Don't worry about legality -- you're not doing anything worse than you already do with your Tivo.

YOU'RE WELCOME!!!

tv freak:

Ok. I apologize to Jim. I read at Survivor Sucks that everyone knew he was going so they drew sticks or corn or something. He's not that dumb I guess. Also they say that Judd gave Jim unpurified water which made him much sicker.

Lastly, in a recent interview I read, Jim's bicep hasn't healed much. Let's hope it gets better.

NB:

Frankly, after watching so many people puke I was expecting diarrhea-cam.

Amber:

that's cool. I like your style

tempest:

Truly magnificent montage of sickness. I think Burnett is really trying to have someone die this season for "impact"

Bobby Jon is just a waste of oxygen.
Steph aint much better. God love her when she actually won something. I wonder if she has been *ahem* attending to Burnetts "needs" in the offseason?

bigdog:

I'm sorry, I can't seem to find the recap. Could someone point me to the link?

Victoria:

bigdog--assuming your commmeny is sarcastic-i agree. i came on here specifically to ask--where's the recap?

bside_fanatic:

I'm right here. Still waiting.
