TV Review: Survivor - Week Nine - Pukin' an Lyin'.

Part of: Survivor

After a recap of last weeks episode (including all the thrill and chills of a newly merged tribe dealing with the blah blah of it all) XHAKÚM (sha-koom, heh!) passes another night to the tunes of Howler and The Monkeys.

The Cast
(Stephenie and Bobby-John not shown)

The next morning sees Bobby Jon sucking up to Jamie, "Are we cool man?" And Rafe saying "Hey, that's MY job". Not too much time for debate on that point (much as Rafe may have enjoyed it...) before it's time for:

Reward Challenge

Using a Mayan "spear thrower", each tribe member is given one shot at tossing an arrow. This is a food reward, the closest arrow to the pole gets the best dinner. The furthest gets the skimpiest dinner. Judd's opening toss is damned close, and none of the other contestants are able to beat his throw.

Judd Wins Reward!

Here's where the drunkenness come is. Judd gets steak and lobster, AND an open bar. This leads to the best line of the show:

"Put a buncha vodka in it, with just a little cranberry juice..."

After the various dinners (right on down to a small bowl of nuts for the worst meal), we are treated to infrared video of Judd staggering back to, and all around the camp. Hell, the only thing they didn't show was Judd pissing himself.

In the morning it is most delicately revealed that Judd puked his kidneys out in the corner if the shelter. Nice. Chewy even, eh?

Immunity Challenge

At first it seems like yer basic ob-stackle (Oh Brother Where Art Thou) course, but in reality it's a pretty good challenge. I imagine I'd get all kinds of bruises if I was there in person. From the comfort of my sofa it looks easy.

An inverted "V" balance beam with two stops to bend down and untie planks to be used later. The beam is about the width of a railroad track. Hilarity ensues. First four move on.

A bridge of two ropes that you cross using your two planks as revolving steps. Hilarity ensues. First two move on.

    "A bit of the blah blah , nothing too meaningful"

    Gary says he hasn't lied on the show, but everyone at home (and him) knows he has. I can't wait for the stupid LIAR to get voted off. He really thinks anyone would think he's rich because he was a crappy ex-NFL'er no one has heard of?

    And then you have Danni...she said "You played at Central michigan," and Gary ADMITS to going there, but not playing here...and Danni believes Gary is not who she thought he was????? Gary is a liar, and Danni is dumber than dirt for not continuously calling him out for his lies.

    Heh! You have several points right there, Tyler. But I do think Danni will bring it back into play. Of course everybody is lying to everybody else.

    Kinda makes a poor boy sad, eh? Oh, the shame!

    Thanks for the comment!!!
