Coby	10/18/05 9:51 am Johnny Fairplay...James...Tom...ooops I mean Ralph where art thou? come out come out where ever you are... p.s. I know 4 jewish people..Yom Kipper Barbara King :)
Coby	10/15/05 11:15 am Okay now for my real blog :) Shout out to my Jewish friends...Happy Yom Kippur Ethan, Eliza and Caryn! (yes I only know 3 Jewish people lol) How much did I love this week's episode? Mmmm I say best since the Pearl Island premiere and that ain't no lie! For someone this week (5 episodes in) it all just finally clicked. I have such strong feelings about everyone (well except maybe Gary...sorry Gar-Bear...well that actually is a lie...my strong feeling about you is you are a bad liar lol). Brian- I should be jealous because you are giving me a run for the money for Mr Overthetop Survivor 2005 but instead I love you, every magic beetle, eye rolling, Jesus Eating Loving ounce of you! You might just replace Rob C is my all time favorite Survivor if you keep this milk through the nose antics up ;) Lydia- You are the only person I know on Survivor that could pull that dance off without being annoying as hell! You go girl! Cindy- How much do I love you? And how much do I want to punch Judd for screaming at you for no reason? Good for you for not taking his bait! he was just trying to get your goat. Judd- I am sure you are a nice person in real life but man...read above! Amy- I am loving you! You are honest, brutal and badass but I hope it doesn't hurt your feelings I am dying to see that boulder run over you next week! Brandon- One of my pre-show favorites is now coming to life...you are one cool dude. I want to shake your hand. Danni- Thank you so much for keeping my Brian. Not the smartest move to be honest but thank you for keeping the game real and following your heart. Nothing is more boring in Survivor than a safe game of picking people off...thank you. Jamie- I am so impressed by you. From being the only person to want to get rid of Steph from the get go, to wanting to finish your challenge even though you lost it...you are aces in my book. Though your Bobby Jon screaming contest might not be the smartest...still makes for good TV. Bobby Jon- The Passion of Bobby Jon...my friend, my love, from your legs in the air roller coaster ride to your chest bump off with Jamie next week...thank you my friend, thank you. Margaret- I am so rooting for you in the Judd-Off but I think his quick turn on you could be the end of your game...to bad I liked having you around :) Rafe- Hello my little fair haired friend :) You will be the new Katie (not so great in challenges) AND the new Jenn (not seen until episode 8) all wrapped up into one. I have said since day 1 you will be final 2...and so far you are proving me right.
Ethan	10/15/05 9:49 am Happy Yom Kippur to everyone. As you all know it was being Jewish that helped me do well on Survivor. Fasting wasn't really a problem...I do that once a year anyway. Eating nasty food wasn't an issue because I've had to eat gafilte fish. And I had already endured the most grueling test of strength and will known to mankind...Hebrew School. Anyway, its a good thing I repented all day becasue i was yelling naughty words at Steph. I cant believe Bobby "cheers like a little GIRL", but then Stephannoy went and cheered like a little BOY. How lame is that? Steph, "I can't do this again...its like waking up in a bad dream". Wow...you should be thanking the tooth fairy you are even on the show...again. Millions would love to have your nightmare. Steph, you have been on 2 different tribes on Palau and 2 different tribes on Guatemala...both are losing. You do the math. Brian is my hero. Lydia is the next contestant on "Dancing with the Stars". Congrats. Judd is saying stuff out loud that should only be heard inside his head. For example; I don't care what others think, this is a game about me and a million dollars and i will do whatever I need to win. Not a good thing to say to your tribe and former alliance. Probst is a bit too pointed in his questions. "Jaime...you are the sole reason for the loss...Oh really? He might as well say, "Jaime you should be voted off tonight..see ya!" I see a big African boulder for next week. cool.
Katie	10/14/05 4:02 pm Hi all! I am excited to post this week! I missed last week's episode, I was stuck at the airport. Great posts so far, guys. Let me join in with The Cobster and make a little personal note (Ian hit it on the head with this one): Gary: "We can't let somebody get to the final four THIS TIME who doesn't deserve it". Ooooooo Gary! What does that mean???? CLEARLY, Gary was talking about Tom (dripping with bitter sarcasm). Props to Mini-Carrots!! I had a terrifc time laughing at his comments. I believe in magical beetles too!! In fact, I got up and did "the pancake" a number of times. (Ian and Coby: I'm pretty sure we need to have a dance off with Lydia!) I love this stage in the game when people start to get a little cooky. It was refreshing to see someone step back and let other people dig their own graves. Blake needed to go anyway, he was getting so skinny his resemblence to Steph was frightening. By the way, does anyone else think Blake looked "REALLY GAY" on the Early Show? Totally kidding, I thought what he said was horrific this morning. Maybe he was a little frazzled because he was nervous about his audition for the Men's Warehouse commercial later today... Bobby Jon, my love, I see you have gone back to your old ways and your kind one-liners are coming back into effect. Way to go- keeping Brian's dream alive! All of us at home love you for it! Can't wait to see the screaming showdown next week: Alabama vs. Georgia- GO BAMA! Question: Has Judd gone mental? *Scout and Ian: I'm in for the trip to New Orleans. :)
Scout	10/14/05 3:04 pm Right on , Coby! Way to go, Jenna! And another "Shame on you, Steph!" from me.
Ian	10/14/05 1:00 pm Scout, well said this week. You emailed me about going down to Louisiana to do some hurricane house buliding a while back...I'll get to you soon, I haven't forgot about you:-) If anybody else is interested in joining this "Survivors for Survivors" house building crew and heading down to New Orleans this winter let me know. Its going to be a party and a half...I'm thinking about renting a school bus. Plus, just because its not on the news anymore doesn't mean they don't need help down there. Y'all know how to get a hold of me Just looked at the preview for next week...I hope BJ and Jamie/Clint Eastwood throw DOWN. All right, I have to go think up good questions for the interview portion of Jenna's Model Challenge USA finals. Being a judge for models is really tough work. My life sucks. PS-I don't know why my posting from last night posted again, so sorry if you had to read it twice.
Ian	10/14/05 12:18 pm All right, gotta make this quick, its a sushi night in Pittsburgh. little people make me nervous...but Lydia cracks my shit up All right Sassy McSasserson, I mean Steph, let's try toning down the sauce a little bit . You know I love you, but tonight was a little much. I'm hoping it was just a bad edit, but you were a little bit nasty to your own crew. Congratulations to Blake on not having a girlfriend anymore... Brett Farve, I caught the "We can't let somebody get to the final four THIS TIME who doesn't deserve it". I like you man...and now I have to wonder why you're dishing on my friend Tom like that. BRIAN GAVE US SOME COBY EYES TONIGHT. HILARIOUS Tribal Council is on right now, and I feel like a GREAT maneuver by Brian , Gary, and Sarge is about to happen...........and it does. Good vote tonight. Nice "Keep the dream alive" speech Martin Luther King.
Jenna	10/14/05 11:37 am I agree with you Coby 110%. I thought it was rude and so close minded to call Bobby Jon gay last night for cheering, what makes something gay, and why pick that word? Thats a mojor foul for Steph on my terms. Also I taped the Early Show this morning and just watched it now and was alittle shocked about what Blake was saying about Brian possibly being gay and everyone making fun of him. What did we just revert back to the stone ages with these comments and attitudes??? What does it matter if someone is gay or not, come on people lets focus on the game of survivor and peoples personalities not thier serxual preference, shame on you guys!
Coby	10/14/05 11:13 am I have sooo much to say about this weeks episode! First of all I loved it, I think that is one of the best episodes since Pearl Islands! And I really want to talk about the episode but I will have to blog about that later because right now there are bigger fish to fry... First, let me comment on Steph's homophobic comments against Bobby Jon. Cheers like a freakin' girl? What the heck does that mean? Did he rub his breasts or something? I know that it is 'alright' right now in society to use the word 'gay' to mean something is stupid or lame. I know for a fact Steph never knew anyone gay before me so I will forgive her for not knowing but let me tell you now Steph (and hopefully Rafe will tell you the same) it is NOT okay. You have no idea what it is like to be at the mall as a 10 year old tries on some clothes and pronounces their dislike of their new outfit by saying, "This looks gay." Then they proceed with all their friends to turn and snicker when they see you standing by. Secondly, let address everyone dogging Brian for being gay and not 'admitting' it. Blake was on the Early Show this morning and they showed him a clip of Brian talking some smack about him in the game. They asked Blake to respond. The only thing he could come up with was trying to 'out' Brian on TV and saying that everyone on his team except him made fun of Brian behind his back about it. But Blake was 'better' than that. Really Blake? Isn't that what you are doing right now? I find this so odd since I was such a flamer on my season and nobody blinked a eye but since nobody knows what Brian chooses they seem to hang it on him like pink triangle. Why does society feel is is the 'job' of a gay person to come with a warning label? Do straight people come with the same responsibility? If I meet Julie Chen someday, should it go like this... Julie Chen- "Hey Coby nice to met you." Coby-" Hi Julie are you straight or bisexual?" Julie Chen- "Well once in college..." I always find it so odd that people expect gay people to announce it. Whether Brian is gay or straight it is really none of my business or yours. Hopefully someday nobody will care. I find him the best thing about this season and that is all I know. So Blake, Steph and the 10 year old in the mall be prepared that next time you call me or one of my friends or a stupid outfit gay....I will call you on it...and hopefully so will someone else. Damn I will have to talk about the actual episode later...grrrrr
Scout	10/14/05 8:09 am P.S.S. Once again I awakened with a BIG HEART for Lydia. At long last someone is having some dad gum FUN in this game. Thanks again, Lydia, for bringing some good ole' fashioned fun into this way too serious bunch! I also want to pitch this as an epitaph for this episode: "Brains Over Brawn!" Thanks for keeping Brian. He's totally entertaining....and continues to remind me of you, Rob! That's a compliment, Kiddo!
Scout	10/13/05 11:01 pm P.S. I forgot to mention the genius of the Croc Dock and Swimming Pool. Greatest reward ever! Again cudo�s to the design team! Even tho� I don�t like the use of alcohol when people are so dehydrated already, it gave Blake enuff rope to hang himself. I think it totally took Gary, a father of three daughters, over the edge.
Scout	10/13/05 10:48 pm I can�t decide if we should call this episode �Grin n� Bear It�, �The Worm Turns Again�, �Steph�s Blame Game� or �Bait Blake�! Poor Margaret is squirming and worming, tryin� to communicate with Judd. Guess she doesn�t know that beetles and butterflies can�t communicate! Not all the tea in China is gonna� get Judd to like Margaret. The dye is cast. Judd has firmly placed his alliance with Steph and Jamie. At this point I�d take it to the bank. I liked how he comforted Jamie after the disappointing reward defeat. However, I can�t say the same for Steph. Stephanie is a total jerk. She is a master at playing �the Blame Game�. Blame this, blame that! Does it ever dawn on Steph to turn her disappointment into figuring out what the heck she can do differently in order to get a different result! There�s a reason she didn�t get picked to go on the picnic and Amy did. If she were a team player if could have been her sitting on Yaxha. When poor Jamie was sawing his rope, Steph clearly saw Brandon stretching his rope taunt, pulling it over the edge of the board, and chopping it on that sharp edge. What kept her from coaching Jamie about the total technique!! Blaming and pity potting is most consistent behavior. Let�s hope that she hangs in there long enough to learn about teaming and supporting others. Or not! By the way, Steph. If you think Bobby Jon �squeals like a girl� and �is so gay�, then take a good long look at how you macho machine your way around �like a guy�. Brandon from Kansas has my vote at this point. He�s playing a tough game and holding his cards close. Brandon is a �Can do, will do, and does do� kinda� guy! Since I just planted 750 pounds of winter rye and cheat, I gotta� love the country in the boy. Danni has wormed her way into my heart. She saw through Blake and had the good sense to listen to Gary. There�s probably a very natural alliance developing between Danni and Gary now that they are on the same tribe. Gary was very influential with both Bobby Jon and Danni. There might be a bit of �Tom from Palau� shining through Gary these days. He�s been an athlete long enough to know that a �show boater� like Blake sucks the energy off everyone. Blake consumes energy like air. It was all about Blake and that doesn�t cut it in this game. Ya� gotta� share the stage. If Blake still has a girl friend after this episode, he�ll be a lucky son of a buck! The focus on Double D�s is straight outta� high school, Blake! Bye-Bye, Golden Boy!� But, durn....I�ll miss the �Bait Blake� game. Amazingly, Blake thought Amy was complimenting him with the name! I wanted to be able to cheer for Blake since he�s from Tulsa (A great town Brian!!), but the �show dog, show boating� really got under my skin. There is no question that �pretty boy, sexy girl� doesn�t cut the mustard in this game. Lydia, wherever you are..I gotta� meet you soon. You totally rock! When the goin� gets tuff, the tuff dance and sing! You stepped up to be the motivator on Nakum and it worked, Baby! It worked! You kept right on dancin� and playing until you got �em all laughin� and smilin� Loved it. Brian, I�m so glad you stayed. I love your expressions...and I want to show you around Tulsa one of these days. Better yet, I�d love to put your butt on a horse here on our ranch and give you a ride through paradise. I�ve spent time up in your Ivy League country, and trust me, we got some surprises for you down here in Oklahoma! I agree with you about �� and bearin�� . There�s a lot of that required to stay in this game. As all can see, the weak go first in Survivor...and it �s not just the physically weak. Emotional and social weaknesses are the ones that hang out in camp 24-7. They are the one�s that are tuff to deal with and ultimately have to go! Finally, durn, John Kirhoffer! (John heads the design team for the challenges) That was a great ride at the fair! Loved the cart race. Good one! You�re a genius.
Kathy	10/13/05 9:59 pm I agree - thank god - Steph finally won - no more bitching - talk about a negative attitude - let it go and get your team pumped up - maybe she is "over edited" - but let's face it - they edit the main attitude of the person that day - and Steph has a losing attitude - at least Judd gets it - it's all about letting go Why wasn't Jamie hacking away at the rope? Why wasn't Steph and the team screaming to make him slam the rock like an ax ........- 'cuz they just gave up - bad team effort - and of course they should have finished the challenge - finish it! Even thought the challenge is over - finish it!! - and Steph chimes in to Jamie - "it doesn't matter....the challenge is over" - how often do you get to play Survivor?.....run the challenge! - it would have been a blast to roll down in the cart - plus it would bond the team to finish - I don't get that one Thank god Lydia stepped up to the plate and brought some spirit into the group And way to go on the immunity challenge - efficient win Brian thought he was the master mind - well - so much for that idea - and Amy should be working her position - she is letting the game play her Gary would be smart to grab some players RIGHT now and work a firm alliance - he has the respect from the team Even though Judd is playing right in front of everyone - at least he's working his position Some of these players are flying by the seat of their pants and don't seem to have firm direction on what to do!
Jenna	10/13/05 9:19 pm THANK gOD now Stephanie can stop bitching about losing because it was getting really old. I like Steph but it was just the same old story about her always being on a losing team. Well this was her third "losing" team, as I said and Jeff said maybe it was her? What I didnt like is Steph really getting on Bobby Jon's case for celebrating, who cares. Let the man celebrate, who she should be worried about is Jamie. Not a good idea to rub a win in the other teams face. I am glad that next week it looks like BJ may put alittle smack down on Jamie next week. Also, nice to see Bobby Jon really stepping it up and playing the game, he realizes being nice doesnt usually finish first (right Ian ;) I liked this episode I thought the challenges were fun and entertaining. Brandon was really a star in the reward challenge. I thought the reward was just getting to ride down that hill in the cart-hello Disneyworld! I was waiting to see alittle bit of nasty in the immunity challenge but it wasnt as bad as I thought. Lydia did a real nice job pumping her team up and stepping up to the plate with the immunity challenge. Her position and value in the tribe just got better. But, Judd on the other hand is getting worse. He basically said to his whole tribe he will sell out anyone to win, nice job!! I wont be hosting survivor live tomorrow because I have the national finals of my business Model Challenge USA, Ethan and Ian are part of my distinguished panel of judges. So enjoy my replacement hes a good guy, but dont like him to much because I will be back next week. Now Coby and Ian go back to fighting because its fun fun fun!
