Jane Boursaw: Hey, guys! Any Survivor fans on-board? |
|
7:59
|
Jane Boursaw: I seriously hope someone comes by who watched last week. it’s still on my DVR, but I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet! But I DID read Jason’s awesome review. Check it out here. |
|
8:02
|
[Comment From Kris] I missed last week, too which is unheard of for me. I never miss Survivor |
|
8:02
|
Kris: OH darn on Gillian being voted out last week. She seemed like she would be a cool player to watch |
|
8:05
|
Jane Boursaw: Hey, Kris! Yeah, I hear ya. I was really hoping Gillian would go the distance. |
|
8:07
|
Kris: This seems fast moving. Episode 2 and it’s already day 7? |
|
8:08
|
Jane Boursaw: I know it! |
|
8:10
|
Kris: That tribe is complete idiots IMO if they thought they should eat their rice that quickly. Three meals a day? That’s unheard of on this show |
|
8:10
|
Jane Boursaw: So, to familiarize myself here – We’ve got the Fang Tribe and the Kota Tribe…
Yeah on the rice – span it out, guys. |
|
8:12
|
Kris: Ok, I hate these challenges that are specifically designed for the bumps, bangs and bruises effect. |
|
8:13
|
Jane Boursaw: I was just going to say! You’ve been watching the series since the beginning – do they have a lot of these bodily-harm challenges? |
|
8:13
|
Kris: yeah it seems like every season they get worse. They’re not happy unless someone’s med-vac’d out :) |
|
8:13
|
Jane Boursaw: Geez… Then again, they do call it “Survivor”… |
|
8:14
|
Kris: So, wait. Are they trying to get the person off the pole and carry them over the line? Is that it? |
|
8:14
|
Kris: oh Bob already looks like he’s been on the Survivor diet for too long |
|
8:14
|
Jane Boursaw: I think so. Do they get any Tylenol or anything? |
|
8:15
|
Jane Boursaw: Talk about your piece ‘o meat… |
|
8:15
|
Kris: This is a dumb challenge. I’m sorry but it’s all for the injury potential, I swear |
|
8:15
|
Jane Boursaw: Hear ya. And yes on Skinny Bob. Yipes, he’ll never make it. |
|
8:16
|
Jane Boursaw: I feel like I’m watching a cage match between gorillas or something |
|
8:17
|
Jane Boursaw: And is it just me, or does Jeff Probst seem gleeful at the possibility of injuries? |
|
8:17
|
Kris: I like the pin-up model girl |
|
8:17
|
Kris: Yeah I think Probst lives for the injuries |
|
8:17
|
Jane Boursaw: Sugar – She’s cute. |
|
8:19
|
Jane Boursaw: I can see how a person could get hooked on this show. I can’t believe this is the 17th season! What’s kept you watching all these years? |
|
8:22
|
Jane Boursaw: Ok, so I’m geographically challenged. I looked up Gabon, and according to Wiki, it’s a country in west central Africa that shares borders wtih Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, and the Republic of Congo. Pop quiz later. |
|
8:23
|
Jane Boursaw: Paloma…the beginning of the end…? |
|
8:25
|
Jane Boursaw: I so would not do well on these challenges. I’d be cowering in the hut. |
|
8:25
|
Kris: I think I keep watching because I would LOVE to do this but imagine I’d last about 16 minutes out there :) |
|
8:25
|
Jane Boursaw: Well, hey, isn’t Probst’s contract up soon? That’s your job, Kris. Claim it. |
|
8:25
|
Kris: I hope she finds the idol. I always like it when the guys send the person they think is weak and then they come back and kick their butt |
|
8:26
|
Jane Boursaw: So Sugar lost her brother…? That’s sad… |
|
8:27
|
Kris: yeah hat is sad. But yeah, shes’ doing good |
|
8:27
|
Jane Boursaw: Go, Sugar! |
|
8:27
|
Kris: oh until she gets eaten by an alligator |
|
8:28
|
Kris: yeah that is so cool |
|
8:28
|
Jane Boursaw: Pin-up girls rule. |
|
8:31
|
Kris: So I’m confused. I thought Sugar said brother too but then in that last clip I thought she said father |
|
8:32
|
Kris: Is bob the psychics teacher wearing a tie? |
|
8:32
|
Kris: in that “confessional” it looked like he had a tie on but I guess it’s his buff |
|
8:33
|
Jane Boursaw: Bob needs a sandwich. |
|
8:34
|
Kris: Oh I don’t think they’ll ever guess that Sugar found it. Based on her tears right now they’ll probably think she cried the whole time she was there |
|
8:34
|
Jane Boursaw: No doubt. |
|
8:35
|
Kris: slip and slide? Oy. haven’t they seen those 20/20 specials about adults breaking their necks on slip-n-slides? (something about the weight of their bodies stops them from just sliding) |
|
8:35
|
Jane Boursaw: Probst will have fun with it. |
|
8:35
|
Kris: Crystal is the Olympic medalist. What sport, though, I can’t remember |
|
8:36
|
Kris: ‘s obviously in good shape though |
|
8:36
|
Kris: Number one question I have for female contestants: What would ever make you think that wearing a bikini on Survivor would ever be flattering? |
|
8:37
|
Jane Boursaw: Seriously. And not exactly slip-free either. Some of these challenges get pretty physical. |
|
8:37
|
Jane Boursaw: Do they get to take one thing or something? How about double-sided tape? |
|
8:38
|
Jane Boursaw: No “Beautiful Mind” for Bob. |
|
8:39
|
Kris: doing these math puzzles when you haven’t eaten and are dehydrated can’t be easy |
|
8:39
|
Kris: s got it |
|
8:39
|
Kris: oops my first letters keep cutting off |
|
8:39
|
Kris: You can always tell by the build-up of music that the person is going to win. |
|
8:40
|
Jane Boursaw: Ok, why the heck is he pronouncing it “Fong.” It’s “Fang”! |
|
8:40
|
Kris: must be a Gabon thing |
|
8:41
|
Jane Boursaw: Did you watch when Elizabeth Hasselbeck was on? I think she was on, wasn’t she? |
|
8:42
|
Kris: yeah she was on the second season |
|
8:43
|
Jane Boursaw: She didn’t win, though, right? |
|
8:43
|
Kris: No, she made it to the final four…I think |
|
8:44
|
Jane Boursaw: The Ex List looks pretty cute. |
|
8:45
|
Kris: Do we trust Ace? |
|
8:45
|
Kris: She seems so trusting and he seems like he could turn on her |
|
8:45
|
Jane Boursaw: Hmmm… not sure about him. So Sugar and Ace are sort of like partners or something? |
|
8:46
|
Jane Boursaw: Oh God, I’ll be dreamin’ about that spider tonight… |
|
8:47
|
Jane Boursaw: What’s up with the girls wearing earrings? That’d probably be the last thing on my mind. I’m such a style icon. |
|
8:48
|
Kris: yeah I would definitely skip the jewelry. especially in those physical challenges. You’re just asking to have an earring torn out |
|
8:49
|
Jane Boursaw: Yeah, I checked Sugar’s profile – she lost her dad. |
|
8:50
|
Kris: She’s playing the game smart. They don’t know she has it. But I still don’t know if I would have told Ace yet |
|
8:51
|
Jane Boursaw: What’s the big deal with the idol? Do you know why it’s so important? |
|
8:52
|
Kris: The idol? IF they have the idol, they can’t be voted out |
|
8:52
|
Jane Boursaw: Ah, got it. |
|
8:53
|
Kris: So, you can either hold onto the idol yourself or you can give it to someone else (which is a dumb thing to do. One guy did it last year and completely got duped. It will go down as the dumbest move in Survivor history) |
|
8:54
|
Kris: Ok, I don’t think I like Ace. I’m wishing she hadn’t told him she had it |
|
8:54
|
Jane Boursaw: Paloma gets the boot. I guess that’s not too surprising. I don’t like Ace either. |
|
8:55
|
Jane Boursaw: So Sugar will hang onto that idol until it seems like she *might be voted off – and then produce it? |
|
8:56
|
Kris: Yeah presumably she’ll keep it. The problem is you have to produce it before they count the votes |
|
8:56
|
Kris: so it’s a gamble. You have to be pretty sure you’re being voted off, otherwise you play it needlessly |
|
8:57
|
Jane Boursaw: Sugar seems pretty smart – though maybe not with Ace… |
|
8:57
|
Kris: plus, there’s always the chance they switch up the tribes before she uses it. So, if she and Ace got separated it could be dangerous for her because he would be on the other tribe and know she had it |
|
8:57
|
Jane Boursaw: Definitely not good to tell anyone you’ve got it then. |
|
8:57
|
Kris: Yeah I wouldn’t tell someone that early in the game |
|
8:58
|
Kris: oh see, that suggests they’re switching next week |
|
8:58
|
Jane Boursaw: Ha! Paloma’s comment about Ace winning. |
|
8:59
|
Jane Boursaw: That’ll get pretty dicey if Sugar and Ace end up on separate tribes. Should be interesting! |
|
8:59
|
Kris: Yes, definitely worth tuning in for! Of course…I’d be there either way :) |
|
9:00
|
Jane Boursaw: Thanks for stopping by, Kris! It’s really helpful to have someone here who knows the show and has a history with it. Fun for me to watch it as a newbie, too.  |
|
9:00
|
Kris: See you next week!! I’ll be back |
|
9:00
|
Jane Boursaw: Cool! |
|
9:01
|
Jane Boursaw: Closing down the live-blog… |
