*Survivor - San Juan del Sur* Thread Sept. 24th!

I'm not an Amazing Race fan, so I had no idea what the twins could be like. So it was interesting to hear the tribe discussing her and her moves on AR.

So far so good!

I'm one of the few, very few, fans of the twinnies. I really like them so I was sad to see her go. I find her completely entertaining and real. Having said that though, when I knew it was between her and Dale, I hoped it would be her. She's had her chance twice on reality TV; time to give someone else a chance. Plus, Dale seems really likable (that is his name isn't it). Who the hell voted for that girl Baylor? That was kind of strange!

Okay, so far the cast all seem pretty cool. I'm sure that will change though. I can't stand John Rocker (the guy I have in the pool) and hope he goes home soon. His girlfriend with her boobs spilling out all over the place annoyed me as well. Who has giant boobs like that and wears their buff tube top during physical challenges.I really loved Jeremy. He seems like a great guy with a big heart. I'm not so sure about his wife Val; I found her a bit annoying. I REALLY found that one long-haired brother annoying too. I can't believe how much he had to go on and on about his great shelter-building skills, what a "genius" he is, oh, and by the way, he's a "MODEL"!

I like the gay couple (although I thought that one was a goner when his eyes got all messed up); I think I like the football player/pageant girl couple too. I really loved the firefighter dad and I think I like the mom/daughter couple too.

Looks like Exile Island is set up like Tocantins (where two people from different tribes go and get to pick an urn). Of course on Tocantins they always shared the clues. Val wasn't having any part of that.

So, the previews they showed, were they from the whole season or just next week? Looks like lots of excitement coming up!

gloryjoy ~ Nadiya is gone! They don't send them to exile to stay and fight to get back into the game until later in the season.

I too am glad they didn't send Dale home. He didn't deserve to go, but honestly, I didn't think Nadiya did either. She should really watch her loose lips (and stereotyping comments) but otherwise, they sent her home because of being on a AR, not because of Survivor. I would have sent Baylor home if it were me - Young. Dumb.

I cried when Jermoe had to fight against Val and then send her to Exile. I knew he was going to send someone that he felt like could help her. He won me over right then and there. Now . . . Val needs to get a grip, or she will be gone QUICK!

Really liked the first episode!

I had to wonder what Jeremy was thinking when he put himself out there for the first challenge knowing it was blood vs water and besides that you don't risk your neck first thing because if you lose that is what the tribe will base their decision on later if they end up at tribal, oh yeah he lost a challenge for us we hardly know each other yet so yep you are the first to go ugh!

Love the firefighter dad/son Wes is my pick in the pool. I don't know if I would have confronted John right away about his identity obviously he wanted to be under radar, why he thought he could be is anyone's guess, ugh moron.

After Val heard that Keith was a firefighter I thought she stupidly might share the clue with Keith.

Never watched AR with the twinnies but not sad to see one of them go.

I think all the scenes they showed were from the season not next week's episode per say.

Glad one Twinie is gone. Their past behavior was an indicator of how they'd behave.

I posted a bit on the first thread but we get to put spoilers in here so can I just say I am soooo happy one of the Twinnies got voted out last night?!!  I'm sorry former Ginger64 (can't tell your new name on this cause it shrinks the board when you answer), I know you like them, but I couldn't stand them on The Amazing Race and I am soooo happy at least one of them got voted out last night!  I didn't like the way she was treating Josh, her mouth was going on and on and on like it usually does and even though she didn't see the problem with it, he obviously was hurt by what she was saying.

I was SO glad Dale (that's the name of the oldest guy on their tribe-he's 55) didn't get voted out!  He didn't deserve to go home one bit. He used his reading glasses to make fire for his tribe on day one (smart thinking, by the way) and proved his value to the tribe even if he is 20 years older than the rest of them. Age = wisdom. I hope some of them will realize this before they go make anymore stupid, rash decisions.

I agree with the Pea about Drew-my initial pick to win it all. What a jerk! Oh well, I said it all in the other thread which is linked to this thread.

I think this is going to be a GREAT season! I can't wait until next week.

I couldn't stand the screaming twinnies on AR, but found them to be much more down to earth and smart last night on Survivor. I was sad to see her go, and my SIL lost her girl in the pool, lol! 

Aw Debbie, you can still call me Ginger64 (It's Jackie by the way but I'll answer to either!). I know I'm alone in liking the twinnies too, so that's okay. And I realize they are obnoxious and they have no filter, but I still enjoy them; I can't help it.

I noticed on the other Survivor thread people were surprised so many didn't know who John Rocker was. I didn't know either. I only found out because I googled him when I saw he was going to be on Survivor. And I was completely disgusted with what I read. I haven't seen anything from him or his gf that make me feel any different. I'm sure his nastiness will start coming out soon.

I also read something interesting--this Survivor was supposed to have a Redemption Island. In fact, they even told the cast they were going to. They changed it at the last minute. The group didn't know about Exile Island until Val got sent there.

As I always like to do, I'm including a link to Dalton Ross' recap and Jeff Probst's Q&A

Nope, not alone Jackie. I like the Twinnies too. I watched them on AR and they cracked me up. Sorry to see the first one go but she really blew it at tribal.

I like Josh but I feel like he took the coward's way out.

I didn't post on the thread from last night because it says 'no spoilers' in the OP.

This spoiler below is not about last night's episode but about the season so don't click if you don't want to see any

I know-that was rude of her. Why would she assume all gay men would be okay with that? I'm so glad she's gone.

Thanks Ginger64-although I should remember your name now-Jackie-it's my sister's name too! Were you also named after Jacqueline Kennedy like my sister was? Or did your parent's just like the name?  I'll try to remember to call you Jackie from now on.

Thanks so much as always for providing the links to the Dalton Ross recap (and by the way everyone if you haven't taken the time to read these-DO! They are hilarious! This man can write and he has an amazing love of the game of Survivor), and also the Q&A with Jeff Probst like you always do. I really appreciate those.

I think this is going to be a great season of Survivor!

Debbie in MD.

i just posted to jeff probst/survivor  Facebook page that they do SURVIVOR IDENTICAL TWINS… wouldn't that be fun?!
