SURVIVOR RECAPPING!!
(Keep refreshing as the show goes along. Updates will come often.)
We'll see what happens.
8:02: And
Survivor begins with a recap of last episode.
Cao Boi is a crazy person. Wow,
Flicka is an idiot.
Sekou seemed like a nice guy, but he wasn't the smartest of dudes. What instrument does he play?
8:04: I like this season's theme remix. Nothing drastic, just solid.
8:05: I'm a big fan of the "Your Dreams Miss You" commercial with Abe Lincoln and the talking ferret. Debatable question: Is the dude in the background a Cosmonaut or a diver? Discuss amongst yourselves.
8:08: If I were going to be on
Survivor, I'd practice making fire, wouldn't you?
8:10: FIRE!!!! FIRE!!!! Manihiki (African-Americans) make fire.
8:12: The Latinos catch a bunch a fish.
Cristina discusses getting shot on the job (she's a police officer). She almost lost her arm. Consider me "touched".
Ozzy thinks Cristina has bad ideas, mostly in regard to catching chickens. Ozzy v. Cristina will be one to watch.
8:13: They catch the chicken!
8:15: Puka (Asian-Americans) catch two chickens.
8:16:
Jonathan comes back from Exile Island and finds the camp in the same poor shape as when he left it. Jonathan and Flicka want to make a floor for the shelter, but
Adam doesn't want to. Mostly, he's lazy. I don't like Adam.
8:18: A trailer for the film "The Prestige" about magicians. Looks damn good.
8:21: Scott Bakula with really long hair. Scary.
8:22:
Billy talks about "conserving his energy". He's the overwight heavy metal player. Everyone in the Hispanic tribe is annoyed with Billy, especially Ozzy. I don't blame them. His excuse; he has no idea what he's doing. Billy claims that Hispanic isn't his culture; metal is.
8:24: Cao Boi works his face massage magic on
Jenny. It works again. I'm calling it "Cao Boi's Face Grabbing Placebo" from now on.
8:25: Cao Boi likes to tell bad racist jokes. The rest of the camp is offended and wants to sleep. Cao Boi continues to annoy.
8:26: Ozzy throws out the possibilty of throwing the challenge to oust Billy while Billy keeps everyone awake with his snoring.
8:33: Immunity Challenge: Jeff tells them a story about Captain Cook. Each team is tied together. They mus traverse through logsand whatnot, unbinding themselves and picking up answer plaques along the way. At the end the teams must answer five questions with their plaques. First team to finish gets to big tarps. Last team goes to tribal council.
8:35: Aitu (Hispanics) decide to stay back and read the written version of the story. They really have decided to throw the challenge. Crazy.
8:36: Puka and Raro neck and neck for first.
8:37: Puka wins, barely beating Raro to their mat.
8:38: Aitu loses, successfully throwing the challenge. Upon further review, Jeff tells us that Puka and Raro actually tie, so they each get two tarps.
8:39: This will be the least suspenseful tribal council in the history of mankind.
8:42: Is
CSI the most overrated show ever? Discuss amongst yourselves.
8:43: Jonny Fairplay makes an appearance! Don't miss his TVj sessions on our front page.
8:44: Forgot -
Yul gets sent to Exile Island. Sucks for him. The clue is predictably vague.
8:46: HOLY CRAP! Yul finds the immunity idol! That was unexpected.
8:47: Billy tries to convince Cristina to get Ozzy out. Cristina says she'll talk to Cecilia about Ozzy. Cristina is really making a play to get Oscar out. Hmm.
8:49: Off to tribal council.
8:50: Man, that pirate ship tribal council is cool.
8:52:
JP admits to throwing the challenge. Jeff is taken aback. Billy and JP get into a quasi-shouting match.
8:53: WTF!!! Billy just admits to falling in love with
Candice (hot blonde girl) from Raro. He says they mouthed "I love you" to each other at one of the competitions. Billy is freaking insane. That was weird.
8:55: Billy is voted off. Frankly, I'm still stunned by what just happened. Of all the delusional moments on reality TV, this might just be the most bizarre.
Final Thoughts: A kind of crazy episode. The earliest thrown challenge in
Survivor history, followed by a stunning confession of love by a seemingly sane person. Billy will surely go down in infamy.
