Survivor tonight

I'm glad I caught the first episode!



Oh, you're going to be hooked now! :ph34r: My kids and I have watched all of the seasons together. It's fun watching different personalities emerge and see how they react to different situations. Sometimes you just shake your head at people and wonder how they manage to get along with people in the real world! Although I was rooting for the women getting the flint last night, I felt so bad for Chris who couldn't get over the balance beam. He knew he lost it for the whole team!

I guy named Brook is just strange...



I joked to my kids that Brook was talking about the brook that was unsafe to drink. They told me it was a lame joke. :P

I was a little disappointed with the beginning. The previews hyped up "you won't beleive what happens in the first 10 minutes" and i didn't think it was that spectacular. Oh well, i'll still be watching it every thursday. I did get a chuckle out of the chicks tribe being named Yasur, almost sounds like "yes sir" to me. Maybe i'm lame too. :P

My son said the same thing! :ph34r: I guess it was the supposed to be the ceremony with the pig's blood and everything. I thought it was more fun one of the other seasons when they made them jump in the ocean with only their dress clothes on! Seeing a guy jump in the ocean and ruin his precious Armani suit, now that's entertainment! ;)

Holy cow! I watched last night and for the first time in Survivor history, I DO NOT think I could have been on this one...I mean, the women put second to the men, and then the whole pig display and the thought of them eating me if I offended them?

I respect different cultures and so can perfectly understand the pig ritual, the women second, even the cannibalism. It would be a nice place to VISIT for a couple days....NOT stay for 32 days with the chief running the show.

Speaking of Vanuatu, if anyone watching the National Geographic Channel, there is a show I love called "Taboo" and the Vanuatu tribes were featured on an episode (I saw this before Survivor announced the new season was in Vanuatu) doing their "land diving". The ironic part was that according to the show, only one (or two) people have died from it in their entire history, yet how many people have died in freak accidents bungee-jumping and that should be way safer. I know more people probably bungee jump, which would make a greater chance of the # of people who die in a freak accident, but there's a lot of those tribes people and they do that every year for two months, so I just though that was an interesting fact.:P

When was the last time that the most pysically fit/strong leader won????



Most of the time that doesn't happen because the weaker people see him as a threat and form an alliance and vote him off.

Well, there was Ethan also. He's my all time favorite winner. Colby would have won, but it gave it to Trish. The All-Stars were smart and they voted him out pretty early the second time around because he's so strong and well liked.

I think there has been no cases of canibalism in these parts for quite a while. Its probably more commun with some freaks in the West!



The last "recorded" of the tribe in Vanuatu practicing it was 1980!!! That's not long ago!!! And that's just what's been recorded. I'm willing to be there are still tribe's members alive that took part 24 years ago. Yuck!B| But, it's just part of their culture and one must accept that (not necessarily understand, but accept nonetheless).:P
