Any TOTVers been watching this season of Survivor? Last night was the first time I watched it, so I am ignorant of much of the strategy and tactics used by the contestants in this season of Survivor. I have seen three of the last four contestants-- all 4 are female-- in other seasons of Survivor.

Last night's episode was very entertaining. :bigthumbsup:

It's begining to look "fixed". How often can they make the same mistakes? I lost interest after Yao Man and Ozzie were gone from the competition. Don't much care who wins now. Have been sort of half-way watching. They sure haven't demonstrated any admirable qualities this time around so I hope it is the producers, not the contestants that come up with so-called "strategy". ??? ( I didn't see the part about what happened with James that caused him to get to jury duty faster.)

Last night just shows how dumb a man can be when dealing with women?????

Erik Reichenbach must have a thing for Natalie Bolton would be my guess as to why she twisted him around her finger so easily.

They sure cast a lot of very attractive women for many of these Survivor seasons. I am not complaining as that has been one of the reasons I liked to watch it.

James had an infected finger that required IV antibiotics, so off he went.

That move by Eric was far and away THE dumbest move ever on Survivor. I like what Jeff said after Eric was evicted "I think that was a life lesson for him".

Is not Eric one of the youngest and most naive Survivor contestants?? Think he said last night that he was 14 when one of the Survivor shows aired. Survivor has been on about 7 or 8 years I think???

I didn't like that the girls all laughed at Eric getting voted off. This could be a detriment his whole life, not just a lesson.

Think that depends on what he makes of this experience. These are not average ladies nor are they in a normal environment. Part of the Survivor series seem kind of phony to me as there are all kinds of support systems protecting the contestants which only makes these quasi-reality shows.

I only met people who act like the contestants on Survivor in high school and then again in law school.

I've watched all the Survivor's over the years. I really don't care who wins this one either. I watched last night's episode on VCR as could not watch it when it came on. I had to fast forward through Eric's giving up the immunity necklace---couldn't stand watching him do something so crazy--yet I knew he was going to. I know they are suppose to outwit but for some reason I don't like watching these women do just that! I really wanted Yao man or Ozzie to win this one.

IMHO, Eric deserved to be voted off! Hopefully it will smarten him up. Before the girls ganged up on Eric and outwitted him, he was saying some really dumb and untrue things to each girl. Guess he assumed they wouldn't compare notes. I think he learned an important life lesson, chickens come home to roost. Or something like that.

sandybill2 We are exactly on the same page! I couldn't watch that part where Eric gave up the necklace either, even though I knew it was coming! It was beginning to look like only guys where watching Survivor! I used to be a fan in the past. Rupert is our states claim to fame. He lives in Indianapolis and is very active in charity work. I think the show is just mean this year. If I had to pick one to win, I guess Amanda would be my choice. Don't like Natalie at all!! Guys, listen up. Those girls are really skinny! No meat on those bones! :joke: I was hoping the guys would give them a run for their money. To bad about James getting fast-forwarded to jury duty. Eric needed moral support!

[sandybill2]

Mejahu----I loved Rupert!!!! He was and is still one of my favorite Survivors. Doesn't surprise me that he is doing alot of charity work. I think the last two seasons of Survivor have lacked something for me. I did not really care who won last year and don't care this year. I did like James--was pulling for him once Yaoman and Ozzie left.

Sandybill2 Are you starting to wonder if it's "scripted"? I can't believe all the dumb stuff over and over again. :dontknow: Once again, I agree with you, I didn't care who won last year either! Ozzie doesn't look very happy on the jury! What about you, Tal, do you think they are "stacking" the deck? Sometimes the types of challenges do give an advantage but that's not what I'm talking about. What I mean is do you think they are offering the contestants some incentives to do dumb stuff, just is case I wasn't being clear! Maybe they'll do a special to tell us what the former winners are going now? It's refreshing that Rupert is doing just what he said he would.

[Russ_Boston]

I don't think it is fixed but the fact that second place makes almost nothing compared to winning gets them to do stupid things.
