Survivor Nicaraga

Well I haven't commented on the last couple of episodes, because there really hasn't been anything to report.

This show is really going down hill fast.

I mean you've got Naonka stealing the flour and farting. Ain't she just a star!

Survivor Nicaragua Episode 7

I am totally bored with this show, I'm not sure why I'm still watching it. So yes, I put off watching it until I had nothing else to watch, which is today.

Hope something interesting happens tonight.

Ohhhh! Poor Chase! Not a good place to get hit.

Survivor Nicaragua Episode 6

Wow surprise again, two getting voted out tonight. At least they are mixing it up some.

Go Holly and Jill!

Marty, Marty, Marty your the one that decided it was a smart move to tell everyone you had the idol. So deal with it!

Kelly B. is gone, the plan to get the hidden immunity idol used didn't work. Marty certainly got a heart check, probably messed in his drawers.

Yve also voted off.

Survivor Nicaragua Episode 5

I can’t believe Marty thinks he is in control of that tribe.

LOL, so much for your plans Marty and Naonka!

Tyrone is cracking me up, but he’s going to get himself in trouble.

Survivor Nicaragua Episode 4

This show really doesn't do a good job of keeping my attention anymore. I'm really not sure why I'm watching it.

I find it hard to believe they can't find food. If it were me, I think I'd be following those monkeys to see what they are eating. There has got to be food on the island besides fish.

Survivor Nicaragua Episode 3

I love Jimmy Johnson talking to the monkeys.

Naonka is one the nastiest people I've seen since Brittney and Monet. I don't understand why people have to personally attack other people.

Jimmy Johnson was voted out.

Fairly boring episode, except for Naonka attacking the fruit basket to get a clue she doesn't know how to decipher.

It will be interesting to see if some of the big mouths on the older team will be able to put their money where their mouth is. They seem to think they are so much better than Jimmy, yet they are the ones that pretty much put Jimmy J in the leader position, which I think was done in part so they could blame him for the loses.

I think it time for some people on the older team to put up or shut up.

Survivor Episode 2

That little Holly has a temper first throwing out the snails then drowning the shoes. Then she confesses to it?

Now Nayonka is getting upset cause someone took her sock. It was probably a monkey. Now she just steals someone elses. That's pretty rude.

That was nice of Jimmy J to convince Holly to stay. One coach to another. Pretty clear who the stronger coach is.

The older tribe wins immunity and fishing gear. So now both teams have fishing gear and fire. Like I said camping. There's no surviving here they get handed everything. Guess next week they'll get soap and shampoo.

Survivor Nicaragua Episode 1

Okay Jeff Probst you need to change the name of the show. You can no longer call this Survivor.

When the show first started Survivor was an appropriate name. People were dropped off on an island somewhere and told to survive. They did.  As far as I know no one died. There were a couple of close calls, but no one died.

As the seasons have gone on I've noticed more and more luxury items. In the early seasons the teams might have won some rice or beans. In one of the early seasons, someone used their glasses to start a fire. Then glasses were no longer allowed.

Now in the more recent seasons people are given everything. I mean rice, beans, corn mix, chickens, fishing gear and one season you built them a toilet and if I remember correctly two more "rooms", I think a bedroom with pillows and blankets and a table.

Here we are episode one. One team wins fire and the other team has glasses to start their fire. Granted its the older team, I don't begrudge anyone their reading glasses, I know I need mine. But the only thing they can use the reading glasses for is to start fires, what are they going to read? Tree mail? That's usually pretty big print.

And what's up with the water, we never see them looking for the water hole anymore. Last season people were walking around with water containers that looked suspiciously like bottled water.  What are they getting bottled water too. Gatorade? Vitamin Water?

You have the first competition and you give them fishing gear. This isn't Survivor. It's camping! Come on I want to see people survive in the wild. If I want to watch people play games and win prizes, I'll watch the Game Show Network. It used to be the point of competition was you didn't have to go to tribal council. No prizes, food, fire, or fishing gear. You got to stay that was it. I mean Jeff sounded like Monty Hall On Let's Make a Deal. Are you going to keep power or trade it for the fishing gear?

I'm thinking Summer Fun with Jeff Probst is a much more appropriate name for the current show.

So Brenda, single single single girl wins the medallion. Should be interesting to see what powers the medallion holds. I think this girl is going to get annoying quick.

The Old vs Young concept is interesting. I think the Old guys as they are calling them will show the young guns something.Not sure what yet, but something.

I like Yve's attitude. She's the one that saw the medallion was gold and said winners carry gold don't they. I like that.

Like Jimmie Johnson, but I think he is at a real disadvantage because of who he is and the fact that he probably doesn't need the money. I'm afraid its going to be held against him and I can't believe he got sick. Probably dehydrated, he should know better.

Holly made a deal the first day with Wendy, and Wendy agreed to it. Not too smart of either of them.

I'm not liking Marty. Why did he call Wendy weird? Just because she has an accent? Didn't seem like he talked to her that long and he has decided she's weird.

Jane is all excited about starting a fire but I started fire with a magnifying glass when I was like seven, it's not hard. Now if she had started it rubbing two sticks together I would have been impressed.

Jud aka Fabio, surfer boy looks familiar. Could he be a hired actor? I think the definition of dumb blond fits this guy. I normally don't like to say stuff like that, but at the rate he's going, he's going to injure himself and have to leave. I really hope he isn't as dumb as he has been made to look.

Kelly B, People have said if they keep her she will get the sympathy vote. It's not like America voting, it's the people on the island voting for her. So I say if she's contributing to the tribe keep her. If she's not contributing or she's holding the tribe back send her home, just like anybody else.  If she makes it to the end they can vote to decide if she wins. I would hope people would be able to vote, based on HER performance, not on her legs' performance.  She finished an Ironman contest, so I'm thinking she can hold her own in competitions. Give her a chance.

Chase, I'm partial to Chase cause he's a NASCAR Jackman, but Chase get away from Brenda. Run! Fast! she's bad news.  A Twittering Nascar buddy who shall remain an unnamed source said and I quote " He's gotta stop walking around in his drawers though" And again I say " No he don't !

Alina and Kelly B have found and  hidden the hidden immunity idol clue. Again with the sympathy vote, where are these peoples heads. Give the girl a chance, or say what you really mean.  You don't want to share the idol.

I love the fact that Jimmy J has told the tribe that he knows no one will give him a million bucks, it's like reverse psychology, probably the best move he could have made, just putting it out there.

The young team dance in to the competition was just stupid, I was happy to see that Chase nor Sash participated in it. Chase was actually shaking his head as they entered.

I can see why the older team made the decision not to use the medallion. I hope it pays off for them next week, since it didn't help this week. Another good thing as long as they don't use it they keep it from the other team.


Ok, I just saw Marty drinking out of a glass bottle/carafe what's up with that? Looks like Wendy has rice already too.

I don't like that Holly told about her conversation with the coach at tribal council. She seems to talk a lot about what she knows. I wouldn't tell her any secrets.

Jeff cracked me up when he sat back down so Wendy could continue speaking. LOL

I think Jimmy T and Marty both have an attitude that is going to get them in trouble if they're not careful.

They need to do something with that snake that's at tribal council, eat him or something, so he quits slithering around.

Poor Wendy she should have known better than to listen to her husband. He might have been right, but he was mean telling her she talked to much.

Survivor Starts Next Wednesday

Ok, so all the Survivor fans, probably already know that. LOL

I am so disappointed in the changes that Survivor has made to the show since it started, that I haven't watched a full season in a very long time.

I'm going to give this season a try again. I will blog my opinion about the show, maybe some Hollywood producer will see my disappointments and change some things back. Or maybe I will be pleasantly surprised to see the show has already made the changes.

I must say I'm pretty fed up with all the reality shows. I know they say they are cheaper to produce but come on Hollywood, New York you know you have the money. When I hear some "Snookie" is getting $30,000 an episode, I mean really that doesn't sound cheap to me. I could live on $30,000 a year. I prefer to live on more than that. But I'm just saying.

I'm a big CSI fan and I loved William Peterson (Grissom) but he left the show making like $600,000 an episode. Ray Ramano left his show making approx 1.8 million an episode. I don't begrudge anyone making a living, but really you could feed a country with 1.8 million. Put a cap on these actors salaries and give us real programming back!   Find the happy medium here producers, whoever is in charge. It's not rocket science.

Jeff Probst said he started Survivor because the human interaction and behavior intrigued him. I guess in that sense I am the same, because the three reality shows I watch or have watched more than once have a lot to do with emotional manipulation and are pretty much centered around human behavior. I will/have watched: Big Brother, Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab and Survivor.

Course, I also love watching shows on psycho's and serial killers. I just can't figure them out. They intrigue me. And no I'm neither a psycho or a serial killer nor do I want to be.

Maybe with the upcoming season we will get some new decent shows to watch, a couple look like they might have potential, like The Event, Outlaw, and Hawaii Five-0. I hope we get something that works out cause we lost some good ones last year when we lost 24, Doll House and Law & Order.
