(Stephanie and Bobby-John not shown)
Starting with the usual with a recap of the previous episode, featuring Judd's loud mouth and banty cock attitude, my wife admits, "I don't like that guy anymore."
Heh! Told her that I saw it coming from day one. After all, he's from "Jersey".
My lovely is from Quebec so she doesn't know about these things and asks "What? It's right next to New York, right?"
I couldn't answer without potentially insulting some very fine folks, so I didn't...
Anyway, Survivor! Back at camp.
The YAXHÁ (ya sha) tribe is healing up from the last challenge. Skin wounds from the "Giant Ball Challenge" are festering nicely. Bobby Jon shows that indeed, people are fish bait.
At the NAKÚM Tribe it's more of the same. Judd flaps his banty lips and the camera crew doesn't even bother cutting in shots of the Howler Monkey, it'd be redundant.
This is some kinda strange May-pole bondage fantasy, I have a hard time (heh) believing that one of the ten contestants wouldn't have figured out the method to beat this challenge. Ah well, regardless:
This reward was pretty damn fine. A "Zip Line" tour of the jungle canopies. Picture a rock climbing harness attached to cables strung 100' up in the mountian canopies, with guides to keep is safe. It was majestic, and goes on my list of things to do before I get Alzheimers and forget about stuff.
The second part was a feast of chocolate confections. The tie-in being that the Mayans discovered chocolate. Most excellent Mayan Dudes! The chocolate covered strawberries looked tasty.
After returning to their camp, the YAXHÁ Tribe decides to invite the (suspicious) NAKÚM Tribe over for a birthday (Danni) celebration, swim, and chocolate feast.
Jamie gets quiet, wants to go back to camp.
Jamie and Stephanie rub fur, the wrong way.

I was honestly surprised they picked Amy. Call me crazy, but it looked like Bobby Jon was going to be the obvious choice.
Now that the tribes have merged, things are going to get interesting.

I'm with you Joanie. BJ can leave at any time. Amy was a trooper (heh, punny!) and deserved to hang out a bit longer.
Now the game shifts into high gear. Care to predict who goes next?

Am I the only person in American who has never seen Survivor? I'm hooked on Lost, though. That satisfies my stranded-on-a-deserted-island fix for the week. ;)

Hah! Yeah, you my be one of the only. It's the complete opposite of Lost.
I first watched it two? three? years ago when a buddy's wife told me that a gal from Vermont (you damn near know most folks around here) was on it. Funny, tragic, stupid, amusing at times, vegetative, entertaining, pure unadulterated crapola. Better than a bad football game at any rate.
How's that for a recommendation?
I think it's past it's prime, but the next few episodes will provide a total education into the winner of the reality genre. Should be fun.
Cheers!

My husband used to work for Infogrames/Atari. Infogrames made a Survivor game. It ended up being one of the worst games ever made. LOL I think it won an award for being so bad. I still have some of the game promos, like a Survivor scarf.
We like TV shows where the characters have no redeeming qualities whatsoever, so maybe we'd like Survivor. We've never seen it, but we can't avoid all the news about it. I even saw a clip from what I believe was the first Survivor where the guy who became the winner ran around on his birthday in the buff. Survivor sounds insane. I think it's on before CSI. Every week we find out who has been voted off the island because we turn on the TV about five minutes before CSI . I can't get away from Survivor!
I wonder where the next Survivor will be? Have the contestants been dropped off in the middle of the desert yet? Maybe the producers should try Survivor: Kinshasa, Congo. The winner is the one who gets out alive without contracting Ebola, and avoids getting caught up in the middle of one of the civil wars down there.
