A recap trilogy? What an innovation :-D Can't wait for parts 2 and 3.

"I would perhaps check myself, because (and this is purely speculation) I could later be in danger of potentially wrecking myself."

hahahahahha...whoo... ok back to reading.

First of all Schoonie,

Your recap is perhaps the funniest thing I have read in awhile. I swear everything I thought about this episode you said.. thanks for the recap, absolutely hilarious.

Oh and, Lisi falling "priceless". Every time Dreamz opens his mouth I just shake my head in disbelief.

Great job on part I Schoonie. I can't wait for Episode II, where the dark side makes a comeback against our Jedi hero Yau-Man.

I must say, I started loving Boo these past few weeks. He's a hottie. But yeah, he kinda ended up seeming like a bit of wacko. And he owns a bar? Seems contradictory...

Schoonie - I am going to miss these recaps so much. I am sad. Love you long time.

Dear Schoonie,
I heart you.
Peace out,
Fycin

Supposedly according to some post game interviews, besides harping on his past homelessness, Dreamz was the one who brought up every five minutes how into Jesus he is (or should it be Jesuz?). The editors played it down in the televised cut, so Boo isn't completely loony for calling him out on it during the final Tribal Council. It was just taken out of context.

Dude, you are so right about Mohinder. He's TERRIBLE.

Kinda disagree about your assessment that Dreamz should have waited to tell everybody he was homeless. Moto would have pulled an Ozzie and lost on purpose just to get rid of him (maybe he would have made a TC confession of the deep, abiding love he'd felt the time Rita said 'hi, my name's Rita' to him).

Whether he wanted it or not, Dreamz' homeless story earned him a measure of tolerance from some of his teammates. Of course, they really kept him around because he's a strong athlete and appeared to be stupid and easy to manipulate. He turned out to be a lot more clever than anyone expected--he simply functioned according to a bizarre, gap-ridden logic of his own.

Yes indeed, Schoonie, I too leapt for joy with the appearance of Lisi's faceplant. I have already begun to use the memory of said faceplant as a coping ritual when shit doesn't go my way in life: I just take a deep breath, imagine Lisi's 'ya gotta get up pretty early in the morning' line voiced over the image of her buttah face under that stupid, stupid, stupid hat (memo to Probst: that look is OVER) seconds before making a direct hit on Fijian soil. All better!!

I also liked Boo more and more as the season progressed. Mrs. Jack went to college in Louisiana and had a Cajun roommate from Cutoff, which is not far from Boo's hometown (the same town which gave us 'Real World' uber-tramp Trishelle Canatella). Mrs. J. has been to the fishin' camps down dere on de bayou, and she says Boo is the classic Cajun male: good-natured but overly chatty, up for mass on Sunday morning regardless of how drunk they were on Saturday night, tough as shit, dark and swarthy but usually blue-eyed and un-erringly friendly, and, of course, possessing that bizarre accent, which makes them sound like drunk New Yorkers.

I think Boo got a bit of a misleading edit. His reasoning towards the end appeared to be sharper than we were led to believe he was capable of, and he has said in his post-game interviews that some of his antics--building his nest in the thicket, for instance--were put on for the camera as a means of combating boredom and anxiety (he said he knew he was # 1 on the hit-list at that point and had no need to eavesdrop).

In any case, Boo could have been a much bigger fan favorite in any season w/o Yau-Man, who pretty much stole the show. And I will never forget the sound of Boo re-aligning his knee in the mud field. Turns out he tore his ACL but is just getting cortisone shots and living with it 'cause he doesn't want to have to give up ultimate fighting for the 8 months it would take to rehab the knee. Tough SOB!

Fycin (#6), I second that! I'm going to miss you so much, Schoonie. Excellent recap so far. Can't wait to read the rest.

I. LOVE. SCHOONIE.

Strawberry pancakes?

Hiding behind a row of seats in the IMAX theater to escape the terrible specter of Dreamz?

OMG I laughed so loud at my desk just now I had to pretend to be on the phone when my boss walked by to investigage.

Can't wait for parts II and III.

Schoonie, I joined TVgasm just so I could leave you a comment - you literally had me laughing out loud for a full 5 minutes! The part about Cassandra asking bugs for money was hilarious! Cant wait for parts 2 and 3.

LonnaSaur, I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one toggling between QuickBooks and Schoonie's recap in order to not get caught by my boss for laughing my ass off!

Schoonie, you are the best of the rookies, I can only hope that they will give you more shows to recap...

Jack, I thought you made some really good points.

I know this may be a little early to ask this question since the other part of the recaps are not up yet, but am I the only one aggravated at CBS for not giving Yau-Man a car?

Post Tribal Council Night Vision! I will miss you over the summer

Ha Big Brother will ahve a night vision... you will like it to baby.....

or from Dreamz, because he wants to stay in the game, although he might vote for himself if you convince him that it is his new one track programming zombie robot goal

I do think this qould have happen given a few more days on the island... there is no doubt in my mind

The next vote is for Boo, and it is all in block letters and 3-d, which makes me really want to see Survivor in IMAX.

Earl did all of his eliminations in bubble letters... just like when he named Earl Island...... (the artist in the advertising executive)... UNTIL Yauman... that must have tore his heart out!
And Schoonie, can you IMAGINE IMAZ STYLE lisi falling... over and over.. in slow mo... 100 foot high?

I thought it was a freaking riot that they showed all of the past players at their WORST moment falling & stuff...couldn't get enough of Lisi - watched it over and over again.

I, too, became a Boo fan near the end...I wondered where all the Jesus talk came from in TC (thanks Jack for some clarification on this)...I believe deep down he is a nice guy and meant well. BTW, nice bod Boo - just gotta get rid of the stupid nickname.

LOVE the idea of the 3 segment finale recaps - what will I do after the third one posts and there is no more Schoonie to read????

I HEART SCHOONIE.

Schoonie, are you Dalton Ross, because you seem to love the same seasons as him (read EW.com if you don't believe me) and you two seem to have the same concerns regarding Dreamz?.... my theory is that you actually are!

Can't wait for the second and third parts.... thx.

Absolutely one of the best recaps EVER. You are incisive, clever and extremely observant. But...a little slow. Here it is the 21st of May and we're still waiting for more Schonie snark. Come on, I want to read and delight in Dreamz's performance and ramblings at TC when EVERYONE rags on integrity. Please hurry, I need my dose of schadenfreude!

For that, you can blame CBS; they put full episodes on their website (which is what I use to recap), but they neglect to include the middle twenty minutes. That's...not a full episode. So, after acquiring one by some, um...alternate means, the next part should be ready shortly.

schoonie,

*waiting patiently*

sigh.

where is episode 2 and 3... i think this is taking entirely too long...... wah wah wah wah... i mean... who is going to point out that Dreamz wore the damn individual immunity necklace backwards!!!!!! when i ask you .... WHEN!!!! this is day 9.... I cannot wait to read the recap of THE EPISODE OF THE CENTURY!!!!!

Schoonie death recap wait day 7: Still no sign of the remainder of the ep. Those were the best parts! OK, OK, take a chill pill and wait for the Pirate show. Doesn't look very promising, does it? Oh, oh, oh! And Trump bailed out!

It'll be up this evening, [Dreamz]I promise to God[/Dreamz]. Oh, and it's only day 6.
