Survivor Cook Islands: OFFICIAL THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LostVegas]

That Tribal Council was awesome! JP is shortshighted, I agree, but he was just listening to that lunkhead Ozzy. In light of what happened, I am going to miss BIlly--HE would have made for more great television. I haven't seen Probst that agast before and I think the others were just as suprised or maybe they had heard him speak of that before and were shocked he spoke up about it, either way he looked ridiculous. I hate to be superficial, but we need to keep that UberHunk of a Man, JP, on the show. He is seriously a cutie, and his facial expressions in the Tribal Council were pretty....um, fabulous? Hope that doesn't offend anyone, I know the gays don't like to be told they seem gay, but -well, he does-especially in slow motion. That beard is coming in nicely and he is very expressive-those nostril flares made something in my balls tingle.

wow -um, can u be a little MORE specific?

I don't care attractive or not the idiots need to be kicked to the curb

I can't believe that dumbass Christina tried to vote Ozzy out instead of Billy. She was just angry and jealous because he outsmarted her in catching the chickens.

It would usually be smart not to throw a mission so when you finally lose, someone gets voted out and they're safe an extra week automatically, but Billy was completely worthless on missions and on the island, all he did was sit on his fat ass and eat all of their food. And you have to live with him too. Ozzy and JP know they are safe in the next vote off anyways. Billy saying "If it was an all metal group, I'd go far" yeah right, if it was an all metal group he'd still do nothing.

I'm impressed that Yul found that Idol so soon. It's only the 2nd episode when on last season, it took over half the episodes and many clues until Terry finally found it.

About the dividing teams by race thing being "racist", the olympics does the same thing.

She was going to vote for Ozzy but in the recap she actually did vote for Billy. While he was the right choice, Ozzy's got to go next...he bothers me. I was also impressed that Yul found the Idol but that means that he and Becky are probably safe for a while due to their alliance.

Billy was so out there with the "Candice loves me" remark. If I were the girls in the tribe and I was going to vote for Ozzy, the Candice loves me comment would make me switch to voting out Billy immediately. When they merge, you know Billy would jump ship and go to wherever Candice would place her votes on. Totally undependable.

I was also looking at JP the whole time at Tribal Council. His facial expressions were priceless. If you didn't know which team he played for before, now you know. The eye roll was a dead give away. I thought he would start finger wagging or do a "talk to the hand" expression...wait he did kinda do a talk to the hand didn't he?

Yul is so smart. Final four baby! Whichever tribe has him in the merge = immunity run.

 

[PieRules]

Ozzy's their strongest player. He's the smartest, works the hardest and does good in challenges. Him and JP are what hold the tribe together. Do you think the Latino tribe can beat the other teams with just CeCe, Christina and JP?

Oh without Ozzy? I'm not so sure.

But if it's Ozzy, CeCe, Christina, and JP yes.
Their team has two really athletic men and the two other latinas seem pretty athletic too. They were the first team in the immunity challenge in the first episode with Billy holding them back.

That's true but once the tribe's merge, and if he's in a minority, he'll be toast.

There is no such thing as a WORTHLESS PERSON in the game of Survivor. Everyone has worth and that worth is their vote. It's a game of numbers not of luxury. At one point or another you're going to be straggling for votes and by kicking off a weak player you're kicking off a vote you can manipulate to do your bidding with. Fact is it's not dead weight it's a resource... a second vote you can use. It's also a decoy. You throw a challenge you could have won what happens when you come to the one you can't win? Well that person who deserves to be gone is already gone and where's the target to go? On your back maybe? You coulda had a free week and now you're gonna have to fight. It's stupid. It's strategical shooting yourself in the foot. Period. Not a good move in any dimension of the game. 100% personal comfort over strategy. Well geuss what people you didn't volunteer to go on Survivor: Marriot you're in a god damn jungle you're telling me now that Billy is gone living conditions will just sky rocket PUH LEASE! Stupid Move

 

[falconfan]

Well, now they don't have to starve from Billy eating all the food. Really, would you really want to live with someone 24/7 when they don't do anything? I'd be so pissed if I was working hard all day gathering food and he did nothing. He's not a king and they aren't his slaves. And the teams don't have to stick together when they merge.

Just because they don't HAVE to doesn't mean they won't. Historically they will. Logically they will. Because if you're in majority you're in a safety spot. Why risk that? So at the merge the majority tribe sticks with safety and sticks together it's basic survival instinct you actually see parallels in nature when looking at advanced primate groups.

And my I just say come on.... Pretty people shouldn't rule the world just because they're pretty. Look at strategy for what it is and when it sucks it sucks... you especially Surge it's amazing how every season you just find the most attractive male to be so absolutely amazing. Gimme a break. Come on now boys think with your minds not with your eyes.

I think throwing the challenge was stupid. No matter how lazy your teammate is. They just gave away their freebie, which Puka(Cao Boi) and Raro(Flicka) still have.

I'm glad Billy got voted out though because he was sooo creepy. He was so weird. That tribal council was hilarious. I loved Probst's reaction which was pretty much the same as mine.

Oh and my gaydar started pinging right when JP started talking. And then it almost went into overload at TC, with the eye-rolling and the "no no no no no". He's quite bitchy.

Do you think there's another twist this year is that there's a gay member in each tribe? Brad(Puka), JP(Aitu), maybe Flicka(Raro) and Sekou or Sundra(Hiki).

 

[falconfan]

I don't think that would be a "twist" but think Brad and JP are obviously gay and it's unusual to have two.

 

[Ohiospeedo]

That completely threw me when Billy said that...went back and looked, and she only said a couple of words to him. I want to see her reaction when someone tells her what Billy said..."Love at first site, don't need the million dollars" Ha Ha.

Aren't you expecting the remaining 18 to be combined into just 2 tribes in the very near future? But if that doesn't happen, losing Billy makes the tribe far more competitive in challenges plus in Survivor your strategy can change on pretty much a day to day basis.

 

[Blueboy369]

Guys, JP made my gaydar overload when he was talking about the compitition and said "you guys were lollygagging". He meant that they were talking and taking there time. If that wasn't the gayest thing I've ever heard than he topped it with "that was so shady". Gays have been using the word shady long before eminem. He's hot, Latin & gay! This show has been very entertaining and I'm looking forward to next week. By the way I heard Jeff Probst say, in an interview, that this season has the strangest romance. Did he meen Billy & candace or could he be talking about a same sex romance? I'm purely speculating at this point but It's very intriguing.

 

[RCrowe]

I am ashamed to say I have watched every season of Survivor (we have office pools each year), and I have to say I have enjoyed watching the screen EVERY time JP is on. It's shallow, but I haven't enjoyed "watching" Survivor this much since Burton Roberts!!

You're right with Billy they were at risk of loosing one challange after which if he would have been kicked off. But it's clearly best way to avoid the risk of loosing a challenge is to loose a challenge.

(1) Watching every season of "Survivor" is nothing to be ashamed of... LOL

(2) OMG, I remember Burton ("Survivor: Pearl Islands")... I was so in love with him...

 

[Spiff]

I've seen every survivor episode since the very first. But I dislike this format where they start with more than 2 teams. And this exile island crap doesn't do anything for the show other than waste time. With four teams, it has less focus and its more difficult to get familiar with the players.

I'd like to see the show start off with a single team for a change. Make it every man/woman for themselves from the very beginning. That should stir things up more quickly and make the show more interesting.

 

[falconfan]

I don't mind the exile island thing but I too am getting tired of them starting with more than two tribes the absolute worst was when they brought the loosers back.

 

[PieRules]

D'oh, I take back what I said about whatever tribe Yul joins will go on an immunity run. It looks like Yul's team will lose the challenge when tribes get reshuffled according to another messageboard.

4 guys on new red team (Cao Boi, Yul, Ozzy, Jonathan)
4 guys on new blue team (Brad, JP, Nate, Adam). Yay, the two gays on the same tribe!

Ok, I don't know if JP is gay, but it seems like everyone is speculating he is based on his extracurricular activities/job outside the show. In the episode teaser they showed in the end, JP was helping Brad get rid of the octopus attached to his shorts. Nate was there too, but JP was the one tugging at the octopus attached to Brad and who knows what else JP was tugging at.

 

[falconfan]

Wow thanks for giving some sort of warning before posting a spoiler... oh wait you didn't.
