Season Long Survivor Thread **NO SPOILERS**

Is it done on the west yet??? Because I have LOTS to say!! Like WTH would you go on survivor??

Only half an hour in here. Really don't like Emily.

Is Emily the negative one? Can't stand her. They should have voted her out and told the quitter to suck it up.

I wonder if the nicotine withdrawal is what really did Hannah in. If that was the case, why didn't she get a prescription for a nicotine patch before she came on the show? I believe players are allowed to take prescription medications, so that could have helped take the edge off for her.

I also think she had made her mind up, and would have quit regardless of any vote, so if her tribe had voted Emily out, they would have been down to 4 players, including the dead weight of Brandon.

Speaking of Brandon, I know they said he had a panic attack on the ladder, but he seems to be in terrible physical shape. If you'd been applying to Survivor since you were 11 years old, wouldn't you have worked on getting in shape over the years? It's not like they make it a secret how physical the game is.

I was so irritated with that girl that went home... what a waste of time, money and energy on her. To bad they can't have a couple of backups for the first couple of episodes for this reason. Still early enough to swap someone out. Then Brandon.. seriously? Uggg..

Anyone watch Amazing Race? I have to admit I do love it a tiny bit more than Survivor.. I am loving most of the teams so far.

I agree with all of what you all said. As for the one who returned, Jeff is the one who put the target on his back by pointing out that he was returning. Should be an interesting season...

Yes, you're right, Jeff mentioned it first. But then I think he -- what the heck is the guy's name? lol -- continued expanding that target by being annoying. lol. He said "oh I don't want to be in charge" then proceeded to try to tell everyone what to do. And that's another thing to add to the list of "why don't these players do such-and-such?"... everyone knows that you don't try to boss everyone else around at the very beginning. That doesn't usually end well. 

Yea, I think there are 3 lawyers on the show, and 2 are hiding it, and the one isn't. Who cares?!! Like they are so much more sneaky or something? or better? IDK!

In past years when players quit, Jeff doesn't take kindly to it and has said "get out, or get lost" or something like that as he snuffed out their torch. Last night he didn't, probably because its a because some of these players are part of the participation trophies era, so have to handle them all with kiddie gloves - OVER IT! Casting needs to do a better job of screening these people. As soon as the girl said "i have dirt in my shoe"...I just knew it - she's out.

and yes, it isn't fair to the THOUSANDS of people that would have gladly taken her place, but no, they went for the whiney girl that can't handle dirt in her shoe (on an island, in the rain and mud).

Yes, Jeff has called out people in the past who have quit- and isn’t Hannah a psychologist? It made me stabby to think of all of the people who didn’t get make the show who wanted it and were prepared

I’ve been watching this show since the first season ( as have most of us, I think) and I do not think I have ever seen as many whiners as are on the yellow tribe. Their tribe name should be “Bebe”.

Finally got a chance to watch the first episode last night. All I can say is ... WOW. On the yellow tribe ... What a bunch of WHINERS! I am not empathetic for them at all! (I kind of feel badly that I'm not). A previous poster called them "participation trophy era" This is so dang true!

I'm glad the two whiniest ones were able to comfort each other.


I didn't pick up racism on this. I just think she's super paranoid and super b*itchy! LOL
I wasn't 100% paying attention but it seems to me that the two folks she thought were aligned already were the most normal folks on the tribe! At least to me they were. They didn't cry, have meltdowns or anxiety attacks. And they are physically strong too. I'm gonna rewatch today and pay closer attention to see if I missed something.

She may not be overtly racist or think she is a racist, but wow, throw shade and suspicion on only the black players. Seems pretty racist to me.

This is silly, but I actually took notes on my phone while I was watching. LOLOL! That way, I wouldn't forget to discuss things here with my Pea Buddies!

First thing was that the yellow team was complaining that they didn't have flint and fire is life on the island. BUT, didn't they get to bring fire back with their torches from tribal? At least they used to ...

Second was when Sabiyah and Emily were having their discussion about the first tribal council ... I loved how Sabiyah told Emily "I can't help how I feel, like you can't help how you say things" OMG! This was awesome!

I was glad that the tribe gave her feedback on her game play AND that she took it to heart to help her game.

Poor Brandon ... I was surprised he went on the boat by himself to the challenge. It was funny how he spilled all the beans about his tribe and Bruce gave up nothing. And the kid in the middle from Reba caught on to both of these things.

It was cute how his tribe surprised him when he came back to camp.

It was cracking me up at the little gal on Bruce's team that can see right through him and his Fun Uncle Bruce antics. She said he's UNCLE but acts like DAD. LOL So far, I like her!

Lordy, I feel bad for the yellow tribe. They are a mess. I do think they will be stronger for getting rid on Brandon. I love his enthusiasm for being there and being even being excited for the torch snuff. SO unlike the first gal that basically gave up!

That tribe really has no secrets from each other. They just put it ALL out there. Everyone knows where everyone stands and what their game play and plans are. No blindsides coming from this tribe. LOL!

I really liked Sabiyah finding the immunity idol. That was COOL in the tree and you chop the vine to get it down! And what a neat twist that you have to MELT the wax to get the idol. AND it worked out the tribe has NO fire. Hahaa!
