... but Russ got pissy over the chicken thing and made her miss out on another reward. If Shambo gets to the jury, and Russell is in the finals, I think he will have a hard time getting her vote. __________________
Maybe it was a false tease, but the previews running on CBS this week show Russell S being knocked out at a IC or RC and medical looking at him on the ground unconscious. JP said in the voice over it was the scariest thing he has ever seen on Survivor. So Russ may be a medical hardship this week. We need a couple more double elims to get the season in by week 13. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (skeptik) http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258643 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:53:12 PST http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258637/t/Survivor-Samoa-Ep-5-Discussion-10-15-09.html#reply-258637
I'd like to know a bit more about the dynamics over at Galu. Is Shambo really as on the outs as she thinks she is, or is it editing? I missed the episode where Yasmine got voted out, so I don't know how much danger Shambo was really in. But if we are to believe editing, she is the one who seems to do alot of the work over there, so the chances of her making a mistake (like losing a chicken) are higher for her than the other people who are doing yoga practice. And I don't blame her for being pissed when "good" Russell chose to send her to the losing tribe for... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Basileos) http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258637 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:49:27 PST http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258635/t/Survivor-Samoa-Ep-5-Discussion-10-15-09.html#reply-258635 Scoobie wrote:

Ok.. is it just me or is this season actually a tad on the boring side? I can't put my finger on the reason as to why it is for me but it is...with the exception of the challenge where somebody was actually thwon out, there's been little to go "HOLY SMOKE!!!" about so far...even skanky old Russell is actually pretty blah...I'll keep watching and hoping for an improvement... I know the feeling, but I'd love to go back through each season's posts to see how often this was said. I think just about every season, at this point, is "boring", "no connection with the players", etc. it always seems to take until the merge for real viewer-survivor contestant "connections" to form. BTW, I don't think anyseason could beat "Thailand" for worst ever...at least in terms of cast.

I just read an article on MSNBC suggesting that this is the worst season of Survivor ever - especially in regards to trying to edit Russhole as the evil genius that he isn't. My favorite paragraph from the article is probably this - referring to how Russhole didn't get his way and Ben got voted out.

Good point on the editing.

Yeah. If you followed any of Reality Steve's blogs about the past two seasons of Bachelor/Bachelorette, then you should have a pretty good idea about how these shows are "scripted" after the fact. Basically, they get a bunch of raw footage, then figure out what kind of story they want to tell and how the footage can be edited to tell that story. I'm not going to say how much one show does it compared to another, but I'm sure it happens to an extent in all of them.

...I think Shambo has a false sense of her importance and connection to Foa Foa. Sure, they have been friendly to her, and she feels like she has bonded with them, but why wouldn't they let her feel that way? They have no connection to her at all, other than that she hates her tribe as much as they do. I have no doubt they would not hesitate to vote her off...but why let her know that?

Shambo is clueless...and the fact that she shared the HII clues with all the others just proves it. _______
Shambo at Foa is a 2 edged sword. She has let Foa know she doesn't fit in at Galu and was able to dish some dirt about what happens at Galu. The purpose of her visit was to gather info on Foa and report back to Galu but we haven't seen any reports so from what we've seen Foa is getting info about Galu.

AFA the HII clues she gave. If she is really a Galu... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (skeptik) http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258610 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 23:07:13 PST http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258606/t/Survivor-Samoa-Ep-5-Discussion-10-15-09.html#reply-258606

Also, according to a story on RealityBlurred.com, there is a possibility that Ashely wasn't the only one who failed.

I second BigToe's sentiments concerning Ashley and that last gulp of slug. You got that far. You should be able to get the last bit. Another thing to consider, however, is that she wasn't actually the last person for Foa to participate... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Teviko) http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258602 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:30:53 PST http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258601/t/Survivor-Samoa-Ep-5-Discussion-10-15-09.html#reply-258601
Russhole is funny -- he thinks he's running Foa Foa but he isn't. He didn't want Ben to go last week and he didn't want Ashley to go this week. Hmmm. Methinks Mick, Jaison and Liz are really the ones calling the shots.

The Other Russell is quickly getting under my skin. The "chief" title has gone to his head. Who does he think he is talking to everyone like he's the boss? Can't wait for him to get gone.

And Shambo...a Survivor first, saying No I don't wanna go to the other tribe. Excuse me? She has no future in this game, like we didn't already know.

I'm kinda hoping there's no tribal mixup or early merge. I'd love to see Foa Foa get knocked down to one player like that season with Stephenie. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Big Toe) http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258601 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:06:15 PST http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258597/t/Survivor-Samoa-Ep-5-Discussion-10-15-09.html#reply-258597 I have a hard time watching the food challenges so I'll watch this morning and fast-forward through that stuff.. but yeah..

Shambo did deserve the scorn of Good Russell for losing the chicken and the snorkel piece although she has a big mouth telling her Galu tribe she fit in better at Foa which has alienated her from Galu. If they lose another IC, she will be gone. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (skeptik) http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258596 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:37:21 PST http://realitytvtalk.com/topic/16814/t/Survivor-Samoa-Ep-5-Discussion-10-15-09.html feeds@kickapps.com (skeptik) http://realitytvtalk.com/topic/16814 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:25:43 PST
