I figured that I'd start a Survivor topic so I could hear what other people think! I love the show and am a new fan. I just started watching this season. I'm pulling for Yul myself, he's strong, smart,and has some amazing abs! wub.gif Can't wait to see what you think!
Oh! How about that mutiny last week!
Triad
My family have been Survivor addicts since it begun! My mum has watched every season (even the Australian one which was so lame) and she get withdrawl symptons during the off season. she's so funny. I haven't watched ever season because I lost interest for a few years but I've seen the last three maybe.

This new one - Cook Islands - is kinda weird. I didn't like Cao Boi, he was too annoying for my liking. And that mutiny was AWESOME!!! I seriously thought his plan was going to go through but they all shoved him!!! Brilliant! the next episode is on right now but they've put it on at 10:30 and since my mum gets up to go to work at 6 she doesn't want to stay up to see it so we tape it. I'll see what happens tomorrow. I hope they do a gross food challenge in this season, they haven't done one for years.

I've been watching Survivor since the very beginning. Call me crazy, but I don't think I've missed an episode for a long long while... blink.gif

I definitely pulling for Yul...obviously voted for him up there. I think he's so cool. Though his game isn't the best I've seen, I'm still pulling for him. And he's got that immunity idol...which makes things all better.

Cao Boi was annoying, but I thought he was really funny. Especially when he would get rid of people's headaches and leave that mark on their face. happy.gif . He also said some really funny things I can't really remember, but I have to admit his plan to expose the immunity idol pretty much sucked. Neither him or Flicka really knew what they were doing. Oh well.

The mutiny was cool, but I definitely think that Candice and Jonathan dug themselves a grave. I wouldn't have mutinied. No sirree. lac.gif

Yul is definately my fave survivir. I am rooting for him all the way. i don't really care for Parvati at all, she is such a player and she flirts way to much with some of the guys. She acts like she's all that and then some. I really like Sundra too, she is really cool, and I have always liked Becky. But my vote is for Yul, and noone has figured out yet that he has the hidden immunity idol.
jonathan is another one that annoys me, he is so 2-faced, like last week he was talikng to Brad about eliminating one person (can't remember who) then went to that person and was talking trash about Brad. I do hope Jonathan gets kicked off tonight, he so reminds me of Boston Rob (who I could not stand) so for the tribes best interest Jonathan needs to go!

I say Yul all the way!!! I love Survivor!!!~~~ biggrin.gif smile.gif tongue.gif I didn't see the first season though. All though from what ive been told i didn't miis much. But now im like i can't miss an episode!!

I didn't really like cai boi much. He just seemed way too....... I don't know. But he didn't fit into the crowd to well. mellow.gif

ANd that mutiny was somthin else!!! wink.gif

Wow... I never expeced to see a Survivor thread here.

It seems that so many other people here have also been watching from the first season, as I have. And Boston Rob was cool, since I'm originally a Bostonian, but Amber (I think that's what her name was) was better, since she didn't openly offend as many people... And that marriage proposal was so... what's the word? Oh well. It spooked me, that's all I can say...

Back to this season. I think that either Ozzy or Yul are going to win. Ozzy is like a "super-human" and has won most of the challenges for his tribe (except for last week's. I'm still in a depression over that...) while Yul hasn't offended many people, but also has the Hidden Immunity Idol (HII). I think he played it at the right time with regards to getting Jonathon to switch back to them, but showing everybody at the Traditional Survivor Auction was just stupid to me. I'm glad that they brought on a few twists from last season, including Exile Island and the HII. But Jonathon... don't even get me started on him... How many times is he going to switch? I must admit my favorite part of the game this season has to be Cao Boi curing everybody's headaches with his "Indicator" marking laugh.gifdots.gif.

Two quick questions, though:
  1. Where did Jessica get her nickname "Flicka" from?
  2. I may have counted wrong, but instead of there being seven members in the jury like the past seasons, they started it with twelve people left in the game. The would leave either a ten-person jury against the final two, or there could be a nine-person jury against the final three. Did anyone else see that, or did I count wrong? I think there will be a twist in which the final three are up against the jury this time, and have an extra two peolpe in the jury. Or perhaps some people won't be in the jury...

Sé onr sverdar sitja hvass!

P.S.- This quote is from Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Trilogy, meaning, "May your swords stay sharp!" It is like saying "Good luck."

P.P.S.- offtopic.gif Are there any Star Trek fans here? Live long and Prosper! Haha, another fictional quote...alien.gifsmartass.gifgeek.gif

My favorite survivor is Ozzy. He is great! He does everything fishes, climbs trees, gives them food.I think he is one of the best survivors in all of the seasons.

I still say go Yul!! biggrin.gif

Any ways did any one see what happened tp Parvatie!!! ohmy.gif Man her thumb must have hurt. I know ive broken my thumb but that was in field hockey. It really did look like it was goin to fall off to me. Any one else think that?

But im sooooooooo happy that jhonathan is gone! biggrin.gif ANy thoughts on it?

Stupid stupid stupid!!!!

Yul let Adam and Parvati (I don't know how to spell her name...though I do know how to spell the HP character's name...) talk him into voting out Jonathan, which was perhaps his biggest mistake. Because now all Adam and whatsherface have to do is sit around and wait for the others to pick each other off. Ozzy has already contemplated doing whatever he has to do judging by next weeks scenes. So Ozzy's going to be on the chopping block and so is Yul or someone else from that alliance and then Adam and whatsherface are just going to coast right into the final three. BAH!!!! I hate stupid people... shocking.gif

I am soooo happy tongue.gif Yul was voted the Sole Survivor and the winner of a million dollars last night. I sat through the whole 2 hour finale show last night on the edge of my seat waiting for the results. It was really close between him and Ozzie though.I was really happy to see that Yul won, he ddeserved it more than anyone else. The winning vote that made him the winner was Adam's vote. He said that after he and Yul had made the pact to get rid of Jonathan before himself or Parvati that he promised Yul that he would vote for him and he did. Awesome show
Next season looks really awesome too they will be in Fiji, and there are going to be new plots and twists, two immunity idols instead of just one! Can't wait for that season to start up...

Woah... I said that a while before that last episode. I predicted correctly!! Spooky... I never exactly expected to be right. As interesting as that twist was, I don't think Jeff should do that for the next season. It throws away the power that the winner of the last imunity holds. For those who just started watching this season, the jury usually votes for the final two, and in the final three, the person who won the last immunity challenge would choose who goes to the final two with him/her. Since the two that lost that last immunity challenge could only vote for each other, the winner must cast the deciding vote. In the past seasons, it was a huge power to hold, because you could just bring someone like Jonathon with you and you would almost guarantee a win. Except a few years ago, a Scoutmaster (Boy Scouts) won the last immunity challenge. She had to decide between a Jonathon-like evil person and someone else whom everyone just adored. Being the nice person that she was, she brought the second person along with her and lost to the jury. I suppose she did this because the second place Survivor still gets some money, and she didn't want the evil guy to get the runner-up prize.

This evil guy (I think his name was John, so they ended up nicknaming him "Johnny-Fairplay") played one of the dirtiest (and funniest, once you get over the shock of it) tricks in the entire history of the game. He told his friend before the whole game started that when it came time for the "loved-one" challenge, he would tell John that his grandmother had died. They had set it up so that John would then break down in tears and announce it to everyone else, who had felt sorry for him and let him win the challenge so that he could spend time with his friend and find out what had happened. This was only one of his numerous deceptions.

Okay, my next Survivor story is a bit weird. Someone had somehow "felt a vibe" that her mother was dying. She left the game to go spend time with her, and the next week, her mother was dead... Creepy.

*Yawn* I guess that's it for Survivor storytelling.

And it was good. But I still think Ozzy should have won. I still don't know why Yul looked like the "Godfather/Puppet-master" to everyone else... I mean that I don't see what exactly moved him into that position. After they started calling him that was when I saw Yul step up as the leader.

Did you know that Jeff's brother started working for Survivor this season? Yeah, he's in the art department, I think his name is Scott, and he built the first challenge.

Yeah, Survivor is way over, but I'm still gonna post here anyways. I wanted Ozzy to win, but I'm also glad that Yul did because initionally, I was hoping for him to take the million. I think it's funny that Becky had no votes. But she always was kind of being carried along through the season.

Anyways, I can see what your saying about Yul not stepping up as a leader until after being called the puppet master, but he always kinda has been running things from behind the scenes. Also, he's had the hidden imunity idol, which gave him a good advantage.
pigwidigon
Yes as unknownlocket said this survivor is long gone so Im going to close this topic, however there is still a general topic on survivor and it can be found here from now on anything surviror related can be discussed here
