That's why I went with a much more recent comparison (Kronk).

There have definitely been Survivor contestants in the past that were more naturally beautiful than Parvati, but none of them were as "sexy". She's got that flirty tease thing down to a science.
But she's so bad at flirting. She thinks she's a good flirt but she really, really isn't.

Cirie is such a pain in the ass, I don't know who came up with the idea of bringing her back as a favorite. She was annoying as hell the first time and she's doing it again!

I loved Cirie the first time but it looks like she's the inevitable All-Star contestant who loses any shred of likability the second time around.

Not even taking the crappy end result into account (Yau-man will be missed--my two favorites had to be the first two boots on the tribe), I just didn't care for this episode at all. The Jonathan/Cirie argument at Tribal Council and Jonathan's trash talk at the IC were fun to watch, but everything else was just so incredibly tedious. I'm so over the hardcore physical challenges. They're fun when they're done every third or fourth season, but having them every season is overkill, especially since the instructions are little more than "Grab some bags and beat the crap out of each other."

Re: Survivor: Micronesia (Fans vs. Faves) Premieres 2/7/08

I really, really hate Cirie.....she is proving herself to be a major bitch in this episode. Not liking the thought that she is the swing vote and calling the shots.....don't know why the tribe doesn't come together for this one vote and boot her ass out. Voting the swing vote out would preserve the alliances on both sides and would have the beneficial effect of getting rid of useless baggage at the same time.

Wish it wasn't Yau-man going though......I was rooting for him. He made a very classy exit though.

You guys are all finally singing my song! Couldn't stand her then, can't stand her now. I was stunned that she was on the list of players to come back for an all-stars.

It would have been sweet if she had straddled the fence too long and both sides had decided to take her out. James will end up pointing it out to everyone that she was over-bearing in insisting on voting off Yau-man.

Regards the vote: I guess I can understand Eliza flipping and voting for Yau-man. But Ami voting for Cirie?! Hmmm.

Oh. And Kronk not have much to do this episode.

Re: Survivor: Micronesia (Fans vs. Faves) Premieres 2/7/08

I was a Cirie fan in Exile Island, though I wish they had included Terry in the all stars as well. In that season, her gift was to lie low, seem harmless, be the friendly mother-hen and carefully cultivate the votes to eliminate her choices. As I recall, she was never on the wrong side of a tribal council vote that whole season. But she's blown it this season. She has placed herself front and center, and made a pushy jerk of herself. She engineered the ouster of Yau-man but it will cost her the game. Both tribes seem to have lost sight of the importance of the short game (promote tribe strength, eliminate those that don't help win challenges) for the individual game. If Jonathan were smart, he would send his female alliance mate (He can't do it himself because he has a reputation as a schemer) to talk to James and convince him that Cirie played their alliance for chumps to benefit herself ahead of her tribes success.

Re: Survivor: Micronesia (Fans vs. Faves) Premieres 2/7/08

That was a good plan......vote off your smartest and second-strongest player and keep the weakest and most useless do-nothing at camp. What was the name of the fans tribe......Airai? They should change it to Airhead because that's what their brains are full of.......really stupid move. Kronk strikes again!

Happy to see that Ozzy found the idol.......Kathy is really useless - three times on exile island already and she doesn't even try to locate the idol. You're playing for a million dollars!......FOCUS on the task at hand!!!!!

Man, did he NOT sound just like Kronk when he was scheming with the older members of the tribe to boot off Mikey. It's like he needed to say it out-loud in order to understand it! Hilarious!

Damn, I hope the members of the favorites stick with that idea that Cirie was unreasonable in insisting that Yau-man be voted off...and kick her off first chance they get. Hated her then. Hate her now.

I hope so too....but James and Ozzy seem to be too focused on Eliza just because she's a little under the weather. Jonathan's not all too pleased with her either. Judging by the smirking, Cirie's already planning her next move.

Much better episode than last week but...I despise Kr--I mean, Joel. I can't think of any contestant in all 16 seasons who overthought the game so much so early on.

I'm just happy the favorites won the challenge, I was thinking " allright, another week with Pavarti prancing around in that awesome bikini", yep, I'm shallow as hell, come to think of it, thats her last name! Stupid move, Chet even looked like he wanted to go home.

So let's keep Amanda & Pavarti both around for the obvious reasons and send Cirie packing ASAP!

BTW, Ozzie has got to be ranked best Survivor challenge participant of all-time. He's a maniac.

Any challenge that in any way involves swimming and Ozzy is just unstoppable. He seems to be able to hold his breath forever, and is supper fast when doing normal swimming. Last night, using his acquaman powers, he was also smart enough to move all of the coconuts to the hole, so the rest of his team had to do as little as possible to retrieve them. On top of that, he goes out and finds the idol, and even pulls a Yoa Man and creates a fake one in its place....

Re: Survivor: Micronesia (Fans vs. Faves) Premieres 2/7/08

I've only been watching Survivor since Palau but Tom, Terry, and Ozzie are on my short list of Survivor challenge champions. That said, I think Ozzie would best both other men because of his youth. What sets Ozzie even more apart is his innate intelligence when facing the task. Moving all the cocoanuts forward so his teammates could reach them more easily was brilliant. When he competed in his first Survivor, I remember Ozzie confronted with dragging a teammate in a barrel through a roped water course. He just hooked the barrel to his feet and swam-pulled himself through the water by the rope at high speed. I couldn't believe how smart his decisions were.

Re: Survivor: Micronesia (Fans vs. Faves) Premieres 2/7/08

MikeyB is smiling big time from this week's episode.

I haven't LOL this hard in a long time until Truck was draging Sack of Potatoes around like a ragdoll in a fit of desperation as time was running out, hitting every obstacle in the way during the pursuit. This is why I still love Survivor after all these years, you just never know when you'll see something truly and hilariously painful.

Cirie definitely upped her voting stock when Ozmanda caved to her "logic". But then again, it's still a good numbers advantage for the faves 4-3, though Cirie will flip on them soon.

I want to wrestle Amanda for dinner.

Curiously enough, Poverty (couldn't believe her new fan teammate called her "Poverty" too) looked kinda hot with the fat lip.

Hope Jonathan doesn't lose a leg over that insane reward challenge. What were the designers of that challenge thinking?

Wow.....I can't believe Kronk/Troy/Truck was taken out this early in the game over that 'bag of goo' Chet (loved that reference ). This has really become a season of blindsides. Too bad too.....Joel was one of their better players not only in strength but also character-wise. It was fun watching his reactions to having to drag Chet around like a rag doll in that reward challenge. Ozzy should have known better, the numbers were on his side.

My hate for Cirie is starting to boil over and watching Chet shuffle around camp like the walking dead is really pathetic and irritating.

Re: Survivor: Micronesia (Fans vs. Faves) Premieres 2/7/08

Chet: "I hit my head back there!"

Kronk: "I don't care!"

Chet: "I know."



========================

Entertainment Weekly ran a story a few years ago about how those voted-off are sent to a resort...where they are de-briefed, etc. It was extremely interesting to read about that end of the process and how each week the "losers" would greet their new member.

And that's all I could think of as I was watching Kronk get voted off last night: was how Mikey B and Mary, etc were going to give him a big warm hello when he got dropped off for the remainder of the game.

========================

I think most of the HTF membership would still find Pavarti hot if she had her head amputated.

But, as much as I must admit I, too, was fascinated by Joel & Chet being tied together in that challenge, I still don't like those overly physical challenges. Even though this one didn't have opposing teammates going directly "at" each other...when the host needs to conduct a mid-game injury report...ya gotta know something's wrong. I'd hate to think Jonathan's gonna have to come out of the game because of that leg injury.

They didn't show if the medics gave Jonathan any antibiotics. Is that against the rules?

Each series it appears that some of the survivors have never watched the show before. There's always a big, strong, arrogant male who gets voted off early by an alliance of weaker members. The trick is not to let everyone know that you are that person.

Re: Survivor: Micronesia (Fans vs. Faves) Premieres 2/7/08

First off, Jonathan, I'm sorry to say is done. The odds were really good that that puncture wound would get infected. Though maybe they did this and didn't show it, the docs should have given Jonathan oral antibiotics after closing the wound to stave off infection. Seeing his knee draining pus in the coming attractions, he's gotta get outta there and start on IV antibiotics, possibly reopening the wound to let it drain.

Now you see why Cerie deserves a slot on the Allstars. She is a master manipulator. In Exile Island, she was on the winning side of every vote to take someone out, and that wasn't chance. I can't understand why Ozzie didn't tell her that her plan was swell but they could always take Joel out later and take Chet out now. Better to have the help in a future challenge from the big guy. Ozzie, sadly while a master of the physical game, is no great shakes at the interpersonal game.

Cerie is playing an entirely solo game. She is ready to throw her entire tribe under the bus and just take her chances at a merge even if she's in the minority. That's a dangerous strategy but no one seems to challenge her or target her for removal.

Re: Survivor: Micronesia (Fans vs. Faves) Premieres 2/7/08

Best episode of the seaon. I laughed my butt off the entire challenge as Joel dragged poor Chet around. I did feel bad for him as he never had a chance to try to stand up or get a good footing, but man oh man was that a riot!

I have to say that I am just amazed at how much Cirie can manipulate the different tribes. She is definitely a good strategic player and you cannot deny her that. She knows how to play people and get what she wants. That is the whole point of this game isn't it? Hate her all you want, but she is good.

I also would be sad to see Jonathan go because I like him and think he is a good player.

As for Ozzie...man that boy is awesome on so many levels. He kicks ass in this game.

Anyone else enjoying the beautiful scenery of the islands? I just love the shots they show at the beginning of each scene. Makes me want to be there.

The very reason I keep screaming that if any show should be broadcast in HD...this is the one. I just cannot understand why, of the few SD shows now broadcast in prime time, this is one of them. The gear is just not that expensive.

I would think there are other reasons HT enthusiasts would like this show broadcast in HD (other than the geographic landscape)...and a 5.1 version of the opening theme is not among them!
