It’s time to call the bluff and drop your buffs as the Survivor contestants go through more changes than the Trump administration. Besides the color change, an Edge of Extinction-er castaway rejoins the game for their second chance. Old emotions (but no chickens) come home to roost as the game changes yet again.

michel2 3292 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 03-28-19, 01:26 PM (EST) 1. "Sideline Commentator" Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen and everyone else. (This is an open forum after all) Last night episode was another snooze fest in along line of snoozers. Of course, Jiffy's favorite got voted back into the game, two of the lamest players we've ever seen decided they had enough and simply quit and you may say that Joe was voted out but, with this Island of Extinction, it's as good as if he'd been given individual immunity until Final 5 if they follow the pattern set by Redemption Island. Joe will certainly not quit and he'll certainly be the favorite to win that second coming back.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Aruba 3092 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 03-30-19, 07:30 AM (EST) 2. "The Commission weighs in" The observation made by the “Sideline Commentator” was not shared by the castaways...or so it appeared. Knowing the Edge of Extinction would STILL continue, the scaredy-cats proceeded to Anti-Darwin Joe anyway. Especially knowing that the Extinction Island inhabitants will be on the Jury voting for the ultimate Sole Survivor at FTC. This was revealed BEFORE the vote on Wednesday. With that revelation known, it would make more sense to vote annoying, irritating players to Extinction Island. Having a popular and likable player spending time with the evictees NOT spent by the castaways advancing to FTC who were never on the Edge of Extinction certainly gives an advantage to an evictee winning his/her way back into game garnishing most if not all the votes from evicted players at FTC sitting on the Jury. Sure, anything challenge related would be advantage – Joe. As dominant as he has been, Joe’s not invincible. A fifty-something year-old farmer outlasted him in a prior season, and a middle-age mother of four recently snatched a win away from him as well. He’ll still need to earn it.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

michel2 3292 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 03-30-19, 11:35 AM (EST) 3. "More Comments:" The castaways are ignorants and simply didn't realize that they were giving Joe immunity until probably Final 5. What makes most sense is rarely what these castaways do so I didn't comment on that in my first post. They do not know how to adapt their games yet to this new variable so they went with what was done in previous seasons. Like I wrote, Joe will be the favorite to win ANY type of challenge but favorites are never guarantees. I'm sure production took good note that both of his last losses involved balancing a statue at the end of the pole so I guarantee you that it won't be part of the next returning challenge.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

What's more ridiculous is the evictees on the Jury and having a vote as to who will win Survivor. How could Reem or Chris rightfully assess anyone from Kama; or Aubry have firsthand knowledge on someone from Manu? If the win-back into the game occurs at F5 as you anticipate, it almost assures whoever wins their way back at that point in the game (and assuming they make FTC) certainly has the inside track to victory. Whether this poster ends up watching this season in its entirety, the Aruba Commission will NOT regard "Edge of Extinction" as a "REAL" season.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: More Comments:" Redemption Island and South Pacific (which I rightfully call So Pathetic becaus eit's the absolute worst season on record) had 2 returning players just like the plan for this season. One returned at the merger and the second was at F5 so I have no reason to belive it will be otherwise. What's worse is that the Fire Challenge wasn't used back in seasons 22 and 23 but now it will be an additional safety net for whoever returns to the game.

kingfish 20536 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-30-19, 04:34 PM (EST) 5. "Mama sung Bass, Daddy got the Crabs..." Good evening, The Buzzard Island Basher Hour is joining the Commission and the Commentator again, with your host, Barry, The Buzzard Island Basher. Me. All this brought to you by the makers of Basher Baldness Tonic, the Hair tonic of Presidents, guaranteed to turn your hair and skin a bright orange and give you the grooviest back to front comb-over ever. It’ll be so bad that it’ll be your trademark until it decides to leave and escape the ignominy of being associated with your head. In addition, a daily dose of this wonderful stuff will make you a genius. And the women? Well, they will all come a running, porn stars from all over the world will be clamoring to have you grab their P***ies. (FDA required disclaimer – will cause users to lose any perception of the truth, become liars, hypocrites, traitors, and just plain no-good-nics. Also, a warning, with a 100% alcohol content it’s not for alcoholics or children, or any reasonably sane person, or the mentally unbalanced and/or learning-disabled idiots. IOW, will not cure stupidity, but it does have a refreshing minty taste with a hint of fruity self-deceiving poppy blooms). ♪ Take a shot of our tonic today, And away go troubles, that is to say, If pesky hair flaps are in your way, ♪ ♫ And the FBI tries to ruin your day, Or if you are tired of the Slavic lay, Or if blaming McCain has become your way, ♪ ♫ Just have another drink and ring the bell, Of Buzzard Island Basher Tonic, and get well. ♫ Special today only – Order 10 gallons of the stuff and we’ll pay for the ambulance ride. Now that the business is out of the way, we can get on with the serious purpose with which we’ve been entrusted. And that is to spoil the heck out of a ridiculous TV show and ruin the week for millions of fans of Survivor who live for the suspense of wondering who will “target” who, who will find an “HI”, and who will catch a “fish”, and other really predictable things. Whoo boy, they do the same things every week, season after season, and yet there are some empty headed “Fans” out there who are always surprised. “Oh my Gosh , this week they got water and gossiped about the others”. Or will they or won’t they have an RC this week? (Who cares). Or will the crazy guy (or woman) do something crazy this week? (Of course, he/she will, it’s in the script). Maybe, if we’re lucky, someone will lose a finger chopping a coconut. It’s a dream we can all hope for. Basher Baldness Tonic Spoiler #1: A repeat on one of the more (most?) cruelly cast survivors that we’ve ever seen. My guess is that the Tourette’s has isolated her IRL socially because she has a remarkable dearth of social interaction skills. She has no idea how to play this game. She doesn’t sense how being disagreeable and evasive during conversations will affect the other’s opinions of her, she has no idea how suddenly declaring her veganism and freeing the chickens will be looked upon by others, and her weird childish physical and verbal reactions belie her lack of practice responding to adults. Then, after she shows again a lot of challenge talent, she quits. She’s a gamer in those challenges. She seems healthy and comfortable, but she quits. Another guess, but maybe she felt embarrassed by her barking during the return challenge. Personally, she gained some respect in my eyes for continuing to compete and almost winning despite the involuntary grunts. She had to apply to be on the show in the first place, so I admire her for her grit, but the casting department is made up of some very mean people, not that that’s news to anyone. She also seemed to have no idea that weird as she is, she could have been taken to the end as a Goat. I can just imagine her final speech. Basher Baldness Tonic Spoiler #2: Now onto Keith. Another cruel casting, but only because he seems to have an inferiority complex and that which pretty much kills his chances here. Others have competed though with passive personalities (i.e. Aubrey and David) and gone on to shine in the game. They even managed to use their time for some heartwarming self-improvement, so his quitting is more on Keith than the casting department. He’s apparently content to be a mouse all his life. Basher Baldness Tonic Spoiler #3: Rick has become Julie’s metaphorical chicken to hold and to hug and to never let go because it would be so cruel to do so. Julie hasn’t read the fine print, actually it’s written in bold print and says only one survivor can win. You’re going to have to kill your chicken, Julie. Basher Baldness Tonic Spoiler #4: Ron at TC in tie and Vest? I vote he goes next. Basher Baldness Tonic Spoiler #5: Now TC has become a spectator sport, and Reem’s dragon stare from the jury box melts sand. Basher Baldness Tonic Spoiler #6: Warthog. Dumb guy. That is all.

LAST EDITED ON 03-31-19 AT 03:34 AM (EST) Interesting take on things Mr Barry even if talking about past events cannot be called spoilers. I have a quizz for you: 1- You say that your drink as a fruity taste but who did a dance that became known as the "Rooty-Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity"? 2- There were two other castaways who fell in love with the chickens but were so unfamiliar with the game that casting them was even crueller than casting Wendy. Can you name them? 3- You are right in what you say about Keith but he's not the first to have a big inferiority complex. His erratic behavior reminded me of someone else. Can you guess who? 4- Other castaways have worn ties at TC. Name one. 5- Reem's dragon stare from the jury bench pales in comparison to this former All-Star. Who was it? 6- War Dog. Smart player. THAT is all.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

LAST EDITED ON 03-31-19 AT 08:00 AM (EST) 1 - The "fruity" dance was appropriately named for...HATCH Don't recall the "dance" moves; but Rudy's facial expression (resembling someone sticking its nose in a septic tank) when watching Hatch perform is how I remembered. 2 - I'm thinking more than two...but here are two for sure: TAI - most obvious JAN (Thailand) - She insisted a "prayer" be said before the chicken was killed for consumption. Jake performed the prayer service. Jan took the noneditable remains and buried them in what she called her "Pet Cemetery." If that's not "love," I don't know what is! 3 - You're right about Keith not being the first. With the host of casting debacles from Production, we've had no shortage of castaways with an inferiority complex. But complexes didn't come more inferior than RYAN from (H vs. H vs. H) 4 - BOB CROWLEY Survivor Champion in Gabon who wore a bowtie to TCs. 5 - In S8 (the season they had the audacity to call "All-Stars") LEX'S stares, aimed at Rob, were far more deadly than Reem's. 6 - At least kingfish is watching the same season I am. My job is done...very busy day ahead. Will try to respond to the Ranking thread later today.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

michel2 3292 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 03-31-19, 12:10 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Mama sung Bass, Daddy got the Crabs..." 1 If you don't remember the dance then you must click on this link: http://funny115.com/v1/15.htm 2- Well, your answers aren't bad but not the ones I had in mind because Tai was a good casting choice and Jan did make it to F3 so she at least knew how to be trustworthy, an important aspect of the game. I was thinking Shambo and Kimmi both of whom clearly didn't understand the game. 3- But Ryan behavior couldn't be called erratic. I was thinking of Gabon's GC who left the camp in a canoe for so long he almost missed a challenge and Kelly thought he had been eaten by monkeys. 4- Good one, I could add Philip. 5- Another point for Aruba. 6- He was the alliance's ringleader yet his name was never mentioned for elimination. That's smart game play. Also, being a former military, I'd think you two Americans would give him a bit of respect. Maybe he's having problems in challenges because of injuries suffered on the field. At one point he had to pass the army's tests, didn't he?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Aruba 3092 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 03-31-19, 06:10 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Mama sung Bass, Daddy got the Crabs..." First of all, thanks for the quiz! It was fun to reminisce. 1 - LMAO...that was a hysterical trip down memory lane. It would have been even more funny if one of the images on that link was a pic of Rudy’s facial expression I remember. 2 - Like I said, there’s been quite a few. I thought for sure you were referring to Tai because you did a fair share of bashing on these Boards of Tai as a game player in Kaoh Rong. Jan was clueless...she made the F3 because she was pathetically inept (as countless other inept jokes have advanced for the same reasons) and Brian (who owned that season) had her so manipulated/brainwashed. I am drawing a complete blank on Shambo falling in love with a chicken. I’m sure it happened if you’re mentioning it and Kingfish references it in his post, but for the life of me I cannot remember. BTW, if you’re going to sing Jan’s praises for being a F3 in a cast of 16; Shambo as a F6 in a cast of 20 should be commendable as well. *snort* I thought Kimmi’s fight with Alicia in the Outback over eating the chicken was more about Kimmi being a vegetarian than her sheer love for the feathered animal. 3 - Much like the prior question, several former castaways could fit this bill as well. Ryan became more grounded as the game progressed, but in the earlier stages of his season, I personally viewed Ryan’s behavior as being all over the place. I do vaguely remember Kelly in Gabon fearing one of her tribemates might have been eaten by a jungle animal, but do not recall Danny’s long personal canoe trip and would have never related it to an “inferiority complex.” 4 - Don’t know of a “Philip.” Could have been in an “unreal” season I didn’t watch. 5 - I would not have guessed Lex if you didn’t say “All-Star.” If it was mentioned purposely as a clue...Thanks! 6 - I have tremendous respect for anyone who puts their life on the line in service of our society, i.e. military, police officer, firefighter, etc. That being said, even though as a player he owned the Cagayan season and emerged as Sole Survivor, by saying as a person I regard Tony V. as a piece of sh!t in no way, shape, or form is to disrespect our men and women in blue. As much as I have immense respect for our military personnel, LoserDog is an dumbass and as a 30+ year-old man who still feels the need to publicly go by a nickname he is...well...a LOSER. If we have indisputable proof that his ineptness is directly related to some military injury, then I’ll let up on him. Otherwise, he continues to be appropriate bashing material and deserves the criticism I give him without some silly guilt trip on Kingfish and I to feel in the wrong by some twisted unproven theory that he may have suffered some perceived injury in the line of duty.

LAST EDITED ON 03-31-19 AT 10:59 PM (EST) Thank you, I always aim to entertain. #2- Too bad you don't remember Shambo talking chicken, it was even funnier than Tony talking Llama. Although it's more about Shambo and Dave Ball, Mario still wrote something about Shambo and the chickens so this may bring back memories: http://funny115.com/v2/91.htm As for Shambo finishing 6th, it was mostly due to production deciding to cancel the double boot when Russell Swan had to be medically evacuated. Galu was going to eliminate Shambo right there and then before the merger but they never got another chance. 3- GC left camp because everyone was calling him weak. His pride was hurt and he felt inadequate. 5- It was indeed a clue. 6- War Dog had to be fit to pass the army physical so something happened to him since then. You can bash him if you want but he is playing a good game. And I wasn't putting your patriotism in question but appealing to it.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Aruba 3092 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 04-01-19, 07:32 PM (EST) 18. "RE: Mama sung Bass, Daddy got the Crabs..." GEEZ Louise...I STILL don't remember even with the link. On rare occasion I do miss an episode and if I do not have time to watch before the next episode, I don't even bother...especially if it's a clunker of a season. I'm thinking that must be it. I also have no recollection of the GC incident. Appears I didn't miss much. Passing an Army physical does NOT make one an Olympian GOLD MEDALIST. Crystal Cox was...and her performance on Survivor was nothing short of an utter DISGRACE. Translation: My assessments and appropriate bashing is based on how they are performing in the season, not on presumed past history. Personally, I believe if LoserDog did indeed suffer a serious injury in the line of duty, he would have made us known of that fact within the first five minutes of the season. Or at the very least, by episode seven Production would have for sure.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

LAST EDITED ON 03-31-19 AT 04:56 PM (EST) My Spoilers are not limited by time or space. Or lucidity. 1. None. No others had that specially soporific after taste. Don't know who might have done that dance, but some think of Survivor as a stage for future jobs. 2. I'm sure you are referring to Shambo as one of them. But no others had what some term a mental disability. Many have been on the show (such as Shambo) who were mostly incoherent and mentally challenged, but none that I know of with diagnosed physiologically based problems. 3. Indeed, I think every season there are examples of passive personalities, but IMO none so far with that to the extent that Keith exhibited. But no, I don't know who you're thinking of. 4. So far, he's the only one I know of who wore a tie and vest to a TC, especially this far into the season. I remember a couple of survivors, one a lawyer, who jumped off tha boat in a suit and tie. They might have worn ties to TC. 5. I think I know who you're talking about, the name eludes me. As I've stated several times, you and Aruba have far better memories than I have.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

LAST EDITED ON 03-31-19 AT 07:58 PM (EST) Yeah, I wonder about that too, but there is a difference between the casting a of person with a diagnosed mental problem, and a odd character who doesn't have that. My basic contention in this regard is that intentionally accepting someone like Wendy, who presumably has a doctor's diagnosis, shouldn't be acceptable. Shambo was an odd character, and she did seem to have some problems with her perception of the world, but Wendy has a real organic problem.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

michel2 3292 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 03-31-19, 11:07 PM (EST) 16. "RE: Mama sung Bass, Daddy got the Crabs..." So you would deny her the chance to participate? I don't think that's right. She passed the physicals and wasn't in any medical danger. Tourette's isn't epilepsy where a sudden crisis could occur at any time. It's a personality disorder and while many suffering from it are ostracized, it was clear that Wendy was going to be accepted even befriend. Anyway, I don't think she was ever going to last up to day 39. She got on the show to "release the chickens" and production obliged. Her mission accomplished, she happily left.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

kingfish 20536 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-01-19, 07:53 PM (EST) 20. "RE: Mama sung Bass, Daddy got the Crabs..." Tens of thousands (probably) of applications are rejected for one reason or another. And yes, I would consider a diagnosed mental medical condition like Tourette's a good reason to add her to that list. Life for her is tough enough without being held up for ridicule. Even if in the minds of the others she is arguably accepted (actually, she wasn't), to add nation wide exposure of her problem could very well affect her well being. She has a tough enough problem socializing as it is. I am sympathetic to her and I believe she did a credible job while on the island, if you take away her inability to socialize and her inexplicable decision to raise the white flag. I think her post Survivor interview reveals starkly confused thinking. But back when casting decisions were being made, they had no idea whether or not the problems she lives with and that go way beyond what the others might have had, might be aggravated. I think they took a chance with the well-being and mental health of this young lady. .   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I personaly think that she should have been given the chance to play since that's what she wanted to do. When I wrote she was accepted I meant that she wasn't ostracized because of her condition. Many players liked her. It was her bad game play that put her in the minority but that's what happened to hundreds of other players before her.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Aruba 3092 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 03-31-19, 06:23 PM (EST) 13. "The Commission's observations" #1 - In her Bio Wendy is listed as a “business owner;” hardly an occupation for someone socially inept or with an inability to deal with adults. Is Production ignorant and stupid? Without question, but not necessarily “cruel” for casting a player with a disability. What’s cruel is casting other players who are mean-spirited or bullying toward someone with a disability. Fortunately, that did NOT occur this season. Quite the contrary, everyone in this cast was very understanding toward her disability. One would suspect her effervescent and bubbly personality is what won the casting crew over. #2 - Casting Keith was a pristine example of the Casting Department’s ignorance and stupidity. Agreed, the sissy-boy raising the mast is on Keith and not to be directly blamed on Production, but having to watch the pathetic ineptness of Keith leading up to his quitting is clearly on the pitiful job with casting. #3 - Pretty sure the bold print also clearly states the winner of the season is the Sole Survivor who garnishes the most votes at FTC. If a castaway wishes to “hold and hug” (metaphorically, of course) another player whom enough others wish to vote out, that certainly gives the “hugger” or “holder” the inside track for getting his/her vote. #4 - Bob Crowley at Gabon wore his tie right up through FTC and was awarded the million dollars on the Reunion Show. #5 - Whereas, Reem’s non-verbal communication, aka “dragon stare” is duly noted, her verbal expression “lame” calling out the scaredy-cat chicksh!ts implementing the Anti-Darwin Syndrome was noted as well. #6 - It’s nice to know the Commission can always count on you to be a voice of reason when dumbass behavior rears its loser head even at the risk of having our patriotism come under fire.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: The Commission's observations" I certainly won't defend Keith but I will defend the casting department. Their job isn't about finding the 16 to 20 best Survivalists, their job is to cast characters for a simple TV show obsessed, like any other, with its ratings. They cast personalities that will create drama and, for their needs, Keith delivered. The fact that he looked athletic but was actually weak in challenges and wound up on the tribe opposite Joe's was also just what they needed. To prove my point, in his latest interview, Jeff calls Reem a star!?!? She's simply terrible at this game and you'd call her a casting debacle but, for production, she's star material.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

They just do a pitiful job or simply do not try that hard at all. Keith looks athletic?? I had him pegged as a sissy-boy even before he embarrassed himself on primetime TV. Keith delivered??? The only thing Keith needs to deliver...is an apology for being a pathetic QUITTER to EVERY hopeful who ever applied for the show and was passed up. If Jeff is calling Reem a "star" in his latest interview, you may have (unintentionally of course) revealed a spoiler to some fireworks that will occur at FTC. As someone who probably binge-watched Jeery Springer in his youth, Jeff would consider that behavior "star" quality.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: The Commission's observations" Like I wrote, their mandate isn't to find 20 Survivalists. It would make for a boring show if everyone was perfectly set and no one had a single worry about the conditions, the shelter or the food. I can name you many players that got many fans but were horrible Survivalists. The first that comes to mind is Palau's Stephenie. She never stopped complaining, never looked for food, never built the fire (she said so when she was faced with the task of making fire against BJ), etc... Keith is young, tall and slim so he looked capable. Jeff was actually defending the Island of Redemption gimmick saying that without it we would never had gotten to know Reem and that now she's a star. So, no, I don't regard that as a spoiler for something happening down the road. For Jeff, Reem is a star already.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
