It looks like it is going to be the BRussell show again. I hope I’m wrong.

http://survivorfandom.com Ashley

ok so I was wrong about there being 2 challenges.

sparkle

blackgirl

sparkle

sparkle

http://survivorfandom.com Ashley

I don’t want Ashley to leave. I hope they vote out Ben.

http://survivorfandom.com Ashley

blackgirl, at least you got to see a little more of Eric.

A.J.

Seriously ? Can BRussels head get any bigger, Wow he’s nerve-racking ~

http://survivorfandom.com Ashley

My opinion of Shambo has changed. She has helped Foa Foa. I think they should let her change tribes.

http://survivorfandom.com Ashley

A.J., he does have a big head but he is playing the game. like him or hate him, I think he is a good player.

A.J.

Grrr Ben has to go !

http://survivorfandom.com Ashley

I like Jaison. He is so well spoken and level headed. He will make a good lawyer.

A.J.

@ Ashley, that is true an I agree he is playing, it’s the gloating that gets to me….

http://survivorfandom.com Ashley

A.J., I do not like the arrogance either. I hope they vote out Ben.

A.J.

Oh thank goodness, Ashley was saved !!!!

blackgirl

GOODBYE JERK

http://survivorfandom.com Ashley

Yes! Bye Bye Ben! Jeff, you were absolutely correct today!

Carol Curry

I’ve been a Survivor fan since day one. However, I find it annoying and tedious that the focus of this edition is about bad old Russell. We hardly know the other players.

http://survivorfandom.com Ashley

I agree Carol. I don’t know anything about the other tribe except Shambo and Yasmine because they were at Foa Foa as a guest.

http://survivorfandom.com fedup

I don’t like having both the reward and immunity challenge combined every week…At this rate, Galu will have to lose a challenge before we can get better acquainted with them.

blackgirl

Ashley, yeah I got to see a little of Erik, what happen to his eye?
I love Shambo, she went to Foa Foa and did her thing unlike blabber mouth Yasmin last week.

blackgirl

I am very proud of Jaison for telling Ben off. He is an a##hole and deserve to get the boot.

Summer

No big surprise about Ben, but a lot of the things he said about Yasmin were right on. She is a know it all. Opinion of Shambo has gone way off the charts. She should show Yasmin how to get along with the other tribe, instead of ridiculing them. Hey, looks like there is going to be a power struggle between Brussell and Jaison. I like Jaison a lot, but he needs to be careful, because I don’t think Brussell will allow anybody to push him around. If that team doesn’t start pulling together, there will be an early merger. My favorite is still Grussell, and I liked his speech about taking care of the women, but I don’t think that it set too well with the men on the team. Anyway, good job Shambo. Your stock with me has gone up. Kind of looks like Mick is making a move at being the team leader, but Brussell is not going to let him become too powerful. I do like Mick a lot. He seems to be a real gentleman, and don’t get me wrong, I don’t like Brussell, but he does know how to play the game.

Q

Bye, bye Ben. He made a lot of enemies in Foa Foa with his loud mouth and negative comments.
Jaison played it well; BRussell had to throw Ben under the bus. But, Jaison better watch his back, as the Worminator will be gunning for him. Sweet that the only vote for Ashley was Ben.

Shambo played it smart by trying to make friends at Foa Foa. If she makes it to the merge, she has layed the groundwork for a smooth transition. Not sure about putting down her own tribe, about yoga and such. She might have done better keeping her mouth shut on that one.

BRussell-Worminator is still the focus of the show; just hope his arrogance and sneaky shady deals get exposed. Now at least two of his tribe know he has an immunity idol, so it might be hard to boot him, at least for a while.

GRussell should have gone for the camping gear instead of the comfort -pillows, two mats & a few towels. It lookled like there was a tarp, lantern(?), some fishing gear? If/when it rains, they may wish he chose differently.

blackgirl

I am starting to like Brussell even more because he is a good player, he realised that everyone is against Ben therefore he went with the group so that they continue to trust him.

hateRussel

Oh so happy Ben is gone. It is disappointing during the challenge when I see the other team I have no idea who they are because everything is focused on Napeleon Eric.

Summer

Q, you are absolutely right. All of that comfort stuff isn’t going to be worth anything after it gets wet. It will just smell up the camp, but I think Grussell was thinking of other people, and not himself. Yes, Blackgirl, it was a smart move for Brussell to go along with the group. Everybody might hate the guy, but he playing this game, very, very well.

blackgirl

I agree that Grussell made the wrong decision, he should have choose the tarp. Erik and the other guys at Galu were not happy about that at all so Grussell better watch out.

Can someone tell me how Erik got a black eye”?

blackgirl

I think Shambo and Erik will team up next week, to look for the Idol.

Summer

I don’t know why my post didn’t go through, so I will try again. Blackgirl, you do notice everything, cause I didn’t even see the black eye. Was probably looking at other parts of his physique. It was probably accidential, cause I don’t think that he would be getting punched by anyone. The challenges look like they have been very physical.

blackgirl

Summer where is your boyfriend Jeff tonight. I think he might be cheating on you.LOL

Jeff

@blackgirl- I hate to agree with you on this one but Brussell made his best move of the game by listening to Jaison.He gained the trust of his tribe by dropping his plan to vote off Ashley and guiding his alliance to vote off Ben.
Shambo is in good shape if (BIG IF!)she makes it to the merge. She handled her visit like a pro. Her visit to Foo Foo was completely the opposite of Yasmin’s-the right way vs.the wrong way. Yasmin did however give Ben the rope to hang himself but she didn’t have a clue that she was doing it.

Jeff

Monica was happy with Grussells choice and if Monica is happy. I am happy.

http://survivorfandom.com Ashley

Jeff, I agree BRuss made a good decision and strategic move by listening to Jaison. Now everyone trusts him even more then they did.

I think Yasmin is in good shape with her tribe. They didn’t see her actions at Foa Foa so they don’t know how she is.

http://survivorfandom.com fedup

While I agree that Ben is an a@@, I’m on the fence about the timing of his departure. I like Jaison, but I think it is a mistake to make decisions on a personal level vs. a strategic level. Instead of advancing himself in the game, the playing field is now even on a tribe that has proven to be weaker and he’s the catalyst to the possible demise of the stronger players on his team. Mick and Russell made valid points re the ladies being put in a better position to pick them off one by one. IMO, the fact that Yasmin is a woman who used less offensive verbiage does not lessen her level of responsibility for the confrontation and acting like a B@#*@…She started it and Ben was not accommodating. So What! They were equally obnoxious, and none of it had anything to do with Jaison. This is not a game of chivalry…it’s Survivor.

Re BRussel…he is still playing a smart game. We see the obnoxious side of him, but he, unlike Ben, never lets his tribe see that side of him. I predict that he will be around for awhile and will probably make the merge.

Susan

I’am glad ben is gone–he was to full of himself–I ‘am liking shambo–i liked how she handled herself with the other tribe. I’am glad Jaison stood up to ben–and hes right no amount of money is worth putting up with that crap. I’am glad the rest of the tribe saw that too. And how about them all getting new swim suits taht was cool –never seen them do that before.

Lav

Foa Foa Russel has shown that he can be persuaded with the right argument. He realized that Ben was getting out of control by speaking before thinking. He may had been right about Yasmin, but that gave him no right to use the insulting tone he opted for. Whatever happened to being a gentleman? Jaison argued good points with him, and did not use degrading words. Ben thought he was safe and continued to use insulting words, but when the votes were read, he glanced at Russel like saying what’s going on here? Great!.

Jeff

Lav- I couldn’t agree more. The fact that Ben thought he was invincible and was still talking like he was the big dog (I think he learned that from BRussell) during tribal council made him getting evicted unanimously a sweet thing to watch. He was totally shocked. The only thing that would have made for better TV would have been for Jeff P. to have tripped him from behind as he walked away after being evicted.

Jeff

Thumma-Thinth you wooden tay my thwisty ta wing. Ah haa pisted ma tung an am wearwieen de wing inith to thow ma lub po yoo.

Jeff

Fedup- I knew it was just a matter of time but I disagree with you. I agree that the timing of Ben leaving was bad. It should have been last week. Ben was a pitiful piece of crap. He contributed nothing in the competitions, even costing them the one last week. He contributed nothing socially and was lazy. He was actually a detriment to their tribe by keeping them awake at night and belittling them. He had a much bigger opinion of himself than anyone else did, reflected by his exit statement that they would not be able to function without him. A real man would walk away when Yasmine became confrontational with him. A simple I’m sorry, I was in the heat of battle,I thought you were a man, anything… would have been better, whether sincere or not, than calling her ghetto trash.
I agree that Jaison is no Denzel Washington and I would not want him as a lawyer defending me. However by defending the women he is building himself up in their eyes and can align himself with them. He will then be safe over Brussell and Mick. By being chivalrous maybe he is outwitting the other males and looking like less of a threat to the women.
If Foo Foo doesn’t win something soon it won’t matter because Galu will pick them off one by one after the merge, which will be in three weeks if they don’t win.

Jeff

Susan- I really love the new threads also, especially the bikinis. I guess they tore their clothing up during Schmergenbrawl last week. I read that it was a game made up by the film crew to kill time when they weren’t shooting and adapted it into a challenge.
Sparkle- You are so funny after a couple of cold ones. Are you the same Sparkle that is first to post a lot of times in the morning. I like both of you.
Cat-We miss you!
Ashley- I heard Tebow is not playing against LSU because of his concussion he got last week. ROLL TIDE!!!

sparkle

why did they make brussell sit out of the comp.

Summer

Jeff – ok, I guess you don’t want to talk with me anymore. MIss your comments, but I have been so sick that I haven’t noticed until now that you are ignoring me. Shame on you, considering how I was begining to agree with you on lots of stuff. Where is Cat and when is she coming back? Still would like to know about X-rev; both Dianas and Midwest Fan.

blackgirl

After last nights episode I have concluded that we will not get to know Galu unil the merge. Survivor is too focus on the drama tribe Foa Foa. I am starting to not like Foa Foa, maybe I am bias because my fav is on Galu.
@Jeff # 41. Huh
@June where are you girl, worm watching

http://survivorfandom.com fedup

!!!Good Morning Jeff!!! Got a minute or two or three…lol! Here goes my response to #42…

I’ve said more than once that I do not condone Ben’s choice of words, and I don’t care if you are a man or a woman, I’m not open to an insincere and empty apology…Save it…That’s patronizing and worse than no apology at all. A male is not less of a man if he stands up to a woman, and if he chooses to do so, his character is more defined by the manner in which he processes and handles the situation. If they’re lucky, they both may learn something. Yasmin approached Ben because, according to her, he attacked her like a “dude”, and although he didn’t outright apologize, he immediately and calmy said what you suggested…I believe his exact words were, “Well, that’s just the way the game is played. It wasn’t anything personal. You were going after one of my teammates and…(she interrupted)…do you understand…” She interrupted again, was 1st to frown up, became frustrated with her football analogy, and was the 1st to raise her voice while stating, “I understand, but you’re not giving me any sympathy…” They talked over one another and the convo escalated, resulting in him 1st calling her “grammar school” and followed by her calling him “ignorant”…All of which occurred after Jaison, albeit to the cameras, said, “Screw you” when he spoke of her. I wouldn’t care for the company of either one of them. The bottom line is that Yasmin doesn’t need sympathy, she needs to develop her communication skills, and Ben needs diversity training.

Since we are not privy to an abundance of Galu scenes, my comments are purely based on what we are shown on TV, and from where I sit, Jaison is more upset than Yasmin. The point I was making is that women are perfectly capable of standing up for themselves, and when WE decide to participate in a game like Survivor, we must keep in mind that it is bound to become both physically and mentally challenging. Respectful treatment doesn’t have a gender. I read between the lines of Jaison’s statements, particularly his use of the word historically, and personal knowledge tells me that what occurred last night between Jaison and Ben was less about building an alliance with the women and the actual Y/B conflict and more about his personal demons/ experiences and a broader scope of bigotry…I just wish he hadn’t allowed Ben’s actions to get into his head, thus enabling personal feelings to drive his decisions. Sadly this occurs daily in the real world, and ALL THREE should have risen above it. Sticks and stones…Call me what you want…I’ll flash you a smile because, I know exactly who I am.

Smooches!!

@Jeff – And another thing…just kidding

I have a blog for today, but after posting that response, I’m tired of myself…lol!

Summer
