LAST EDITED ON 12-23-02 AT 00:25 AM (EST)Welcome all to “The Manesh Show”.
Last time on Exiled:
The beach alliance of Manesh (eek, I HATE MANESH !!!!!), Ryan, Amanda and Kavita was permanently dismantled when John decided he wanted, to be a greedy little bastard, the whole prize for himself. Then the alliance was further damaged when Kavita was taken out of the game for “medical attention”. Yeah, psychiatric attention, they mean.
Kavita as she walks away: “My health is more important”. You look healthy to me quitter.
Jade has not joined an alliance. This is why Jeff (who was awarded the “power mail”) nominated her, along with Beach Alliance members Ryan, Amanda and Manesh.
After an hour of “extreme physical” endurance, they mean Ryan had a bug in his crotch, Ryan quit and was EXILED.
Which of the nine remaining will be Exiled tonight. GET READY FOR EXILED!!!!!
Opening credits. The two most interesting observations here are that I don’t think I have ever seen Meg on the show and the fact that, aside from John, all the men are not very attractive, the women are, the men are NOT (oh, uh, sorry Gator), I meant to say, aside from John AND Jeff.
DAY FIVE:
Voiceover: John says that they have all gotten into a routine. They wake up and complain about the heat, the shelter, Manesh, the living conditions, the lack of food, Manesh, George W. Bush, Manesh, the crappy prize the winner will get, Manesh, etc, etc, etc.
He says that eventually someone starts the fire and cooks the rice. The only problem is, that that person is usually HIM. We then get a shot of John starting the fire and cooking the rice.
If I were a good spoiler, just from the focus on John in the recap of last week and this opening, I would say, JOHN IS GOING TO GET EXILED TONIGHT!!!!! But, who would want to wax, by far the cutest, most athletic, likable person in this bunch? Uh, NOT ME!!!!! And since I’m not a good spoiler, I won’t even mention this theory to you all, cause it could not possibly be correct. Right?
We now get a JeffGator confessional; the boy is worried about the rice situation. He is worried it will not last. It appears he decided to measure it, JUST NOW, and realized that there will be no rice for the last three days. He goes on to say: “OH. MY. GOD. I’m living with a bunch of idiots”. Sorry buddy, but you JUST NOW, measured the rice. You ARE one of those idiots.
At this time we get a shot of Manesh burning his hand with the pot of rice. WOO-HOO !!!!! Maybe Manesh will be taken out of the game for “medical treatment”. DAMNIT!!!!! No such luck.
One more thing, WHAT IS UP WITH THOSE EARRINGS!!!!! Jeff has a huge, shiny diamond like earring on each ear. Soooooo distracting.
Carole has a voiceover, essentially agreeing with Jeff about the rice situation. But, she goes on to add: “ I don’t know how I’m going to convince these people, that I’m not this evil witch, who’s murdering animals when I bring home rats or snakes or something to eat”. Um Carole, you could have fooled me.
We then get a shot of someone screaming, “SNAKE”, and we see Graham and Carole and all the rest running to try and catch it. Carole says that someone should go around where the grass is. Amanda tells her “who cares, I’m tying my shoes”. Good Amanda, you are out there starving, but you don’t care about potential food. Carole simple replies in her most divaesque voice “I’ll eat it”.
Manesh, in confessional, points out that because of Jeff’s decision the previous day, Amanda and Jade are now playing with him and hopefully in the next couple of days they can pull in two more idiots to follow them, this way they would be in control of the game.
We get a shot of Manesh, Amanda and Jade on the hammock (note to EMB get your idiots a hammock, this thing is really good for strategy sessions). Manesh is asking what they like about the others, but to go deeper than just saying they were all really nice. Jade (is it me or does she look like a younger version of Zoe from Survivor: Marquesas) says they have not had enough time to know them better. Manesh disagrees telling her that the three of them had gone through a lot already, and that he now liked Jade, not because she was nice “cause you are NOT really nice”. Good Manesh, nice way to build an alliance, insult your comrades.
Jade says, in confessional, that she is going for it and starting an alliance with Manesh and Amanda, even though she had been trash talking Manesh earlier in the game, but that they do have that bond, after being nominated together. Amanda agrees and we see the two women shaking hands.
Kinley tells the camera, that with Ryan gone, Manesh’s squad is a little weaker, but still a threat. Kinley honey, last I checked your alliance had 5 members, Manesh’s had three and Greedy, hunky John was playing by himself (fool). I think you have it pretty good.
John and Amanda go to get the mail. FINALLY, A CHALLENGE!!!!! They find this huge, red circle made of wood. It says: “__________ (I could not hear what John said) no one will be put to the test, but in five minutes, select two to get ready for THE QUEST”.
Everyone, say it with me “uuuuuuuuuuuu, the queeeeeest”.
They take it back to camp and John asks who has the energy to do the challenge. One of the women says, “well I don’t know, I just took a nap”, don’t worry honey, Graham and Amanda have graciously volunteered to do it (the quest I mean). For some strange reason, both John and JeffGator bite the wooden circle where the instructions came. Strange puppies, these two.
JeffGator says in confessional that he thinks sending Graham and Amanda was a good decision, one member of each alliance makes it fair. You’re such a nice, sensible boy Jeff.
Carole agrees, mostly because she trusts them to do the right thing for the game. SUCKER!!!!! That’s all I can say.
We finally see Mutant Jason (thanks dabo) our host, he is still wearing that stupid red wig on his head and he is hauling an inflatable raft. Graham (without a shirt) and Amanda leave. And JeffGator NOOOOW wishes he had picked. SUCKER!!!!! That’s all I can say.
It appears that Graham and Amanda were taken to the Charleston Place Hotel to spend the night. As they enter the hotel, Graham has mysteriously put a shirt on. In the elevator the bellhop (with his bellhop dolly, I don’t know why he had it, the kids had no luggage) tells them they will be staying in the third floor, above them is the pool, gym and massage therapy. Graham and Amanda continue to giggle like little girls with a new Barbie.
The bellhop takes them to their room, it had two queen beds, sorry Graham it appears you are not going to get lucky, with the cute as a button, Amanda.
They are given robes and Amanda asks how she can get drinks. Um honey, in a hotel, they call it room service. The kids toast their good fortune with cold water. Amanda also discovers a scale in the bathroom. She has lost 13 lbs in five days, Graham has lost 14 lbs and trust me, they both need to lose a lot more.
They ask what is there to do there. We then see them walking out of the hotel with new, clean clothes, and I wish they would have been made to walk around the town, just as they arrived, but this is not up to me. RATS!!!!!
They go to a pizza place and order a large pepperoni pizza; there they concoct a plan to not tell the others all that has happened. We then see them leave the restaurant with, GASP, LEFTOVERS!!!!! I thought they were starved, I guess not. Graham even tips the sax player on the street. This would NEVER happen on Survivor.
They go to the whirlpool and continue to giggle like little girls with a new poster of Leo Dicaprio. Graham says that he has gotten closer to Amanda and that she’s cool, BUT she is still on the other alliance. We see them getting into their own beds, the sigh you hear is the producers and Graham’s disappointment.
DAY 6.
Carole says that, yesterday, they all lost their minds (um Carole honey, yesterday? Try as soon as you applied for this turkey). She adds that John especially is craving a pizza (fool should have volunteered for the QUEST).
We get a shot of all of them yelling. John, it appears, has taken a habit of eating bark and is seen offering some to Manesh, who tells him no (take the bark and choke Manesh, maybe THEN, you can leave for “medical treatment”). John says in confessional that at the University of Florida, he is a trip leader of backpacking and canoeing expeditions, except that you can eat whatever you want there.
If I was a good spoiler, I would point out that this pointless confessional is just an excuse to give the cute, handsome, pretty boy John, some camera time, cause he is about to be Exiled. BUT, since I’m NOT a good spoiler, this bit a potential foreshadowing could not be true, right?
JeffGator says in confessional that his game with Manesh is over (YEAH!!!!! VOTE HIM OUT, VOTE HIM OUT!!!!!). It appears Manesh asked him if he was Jewish because Jeff has big nose. All I can say to Manesh is, just because I have a big, um, um, you know ….. does NOT make me African-American (you know what they say about Black men) 
We get a shot of Jeff in the beach with an unseen woman and man (I think the woman is Carole, just by her voice) and he tells them the story, the woman says something you can barely hear, except for “his father owns a quickie mart”, I assume that shot was directed at Manesh. I HATE MANESH, but even I refuse to go there, mmmkay!!!!!
Carole says to the camera that everyone wants Manesh to go and that that is a very personal thing. Manesh says in confessional that nobody’s saying what they really feel (yeah, like THEY ALL HATE YOU!!!!!), he adds that he won’t be unhappy is he gets voted out, because he feels it’s his time. From your mouth to God’s ears Manesh.
We then get a night shot in which JeffGator and Manesh argued. Jeff says Manesh talks more than him, Manesh says he does not get Jeff’s sarcasm. Jeff gives him advice by telling him that in this game, other people’s perception is very important.
I won’t bore you will all the other stuff about I HATE MANESH, that was spoken, I think you all get the gist of the deal. Manesh has NOT endeared himself to many people. Of course, according to him, it’s not his fault. Blah, blah, blah.
Graham and Amanda return and they tell the others that they slept in a bad place and all they ate was rice, but aside from that they were instructed not to say a word, that whatever they did would come back to help them all later. In other words these two sneaks lied through their teeth. We get a shot of Graham grinning like the little devil he is. Overall they are very warmly received and everyone buys their lies. Amanda tells herself, that it’s just a game, YOU BIG LIAR!!!!!
Carole is happy that they aren’t saying anything, because this way she knows that these two can keep their words. SUCKER!!!!!
MAIL: This time they get a scroll that says: “It is all in the things you know about your friends and peers, those tiny trivial facts, could set aside your fears”.
Mutant Jason returns. He explains the challenge. Since there are nine players left, there are nine boards placed around different trees, each contains 10 facts about each player. They have TWO MINUTES to memorize them and then the final quiz will begin. TWO MINUTES? GET REAL. WHO DO YOU THINK THEY ALL ARE? RAIN MAN?
Anyway, the winner gets the “Safety Pardon”, this hideous looking immunity idol made of dark wood and straw sticking from the top. The two minutes pass and the questions were: who cares, the last one is to me the most important. Who has a phobia of clowns? The answer is JeffGator, I guess Shakes The Clown and Krusty The Clown really do a number on you, huh Jeff?
Everyone gets this question right. EXCEPT, Manesh and John. Now if I were a good spoiler, I would tell you all that this is foreshadowing of things to come. BUT, since I’m NOT a good spoiler, I really should not waste your time by telling you all this, cause I couldn’t be right? Right?
Anyway, the winner was, DRUMROLL PLEASE?!!!!! Amanda. She says she’s happy cause she’s such a type A personality and crap. She didn’t need the pardon anyway; all she succeeded in was getting a big target on her.
At this time, we get more Manesh bashing (which you all know by now, that I love), you have heard it all before and this is long and I’m tired. JeffGator does say that Manesh has “diarrhea of the mouth” which I have to admit was pretty funny and right on the money.
JeffGator also says in confessional that he has been trying to convince the others to nominate John, because he is a physical threat. You little manipulative peep, trying to be the cutest guy there, huh?
OMH!!!!! They all FINALLY go to the “Exiled Elimination Court”. Mutant Jason instructs them to sit down, there are two rows and behind each person there is a bucket full of sand. Mutant Jason explains that they all have to face front, eyes forward at all times while they are there.
He explains how one by one they will get up, and grab the three “tiki sticks” two are marked with “X” and one blank. They will place the marked tikis on the bucket with sand of the two people they want nominated for Exile. The blank one goes on the person they DON’T want Exiled. This could effectively eliminate nomination votes cast against someone. I LOVE IT!!!!!
This is what I was able to tell from the voting. The sequence goes fast, sometimes you cannot tell behind whose bucket the tiki is being placed or what kind of tiki it is. But I did manage this:
Carole: Nominated John and Manesh. Can’t tell who got the blank one.
Amanda: (She of course is safe) nominated Kinley, could not tell the other two.
Meg: OMH!!!!! Meg IS on the island. Boy, this girl is either VERY boring or flying WAAAAY under the radar. She nominates John and Manesh and uses the blank one of Kinley.
Jade: She nominates Carole and Kinley. Can’t tell about the blank one.
Graham: he nominates John and Manesh,
Manesh: Nominates Kinley. Can’t tell about the other two.
John: Nominates Kinley. Can’t tell about the other two.
Kinley: Nominates Manesh.
Jeff: Nominates Manesh and John,
Mutant Jason tells them that Amanda and the non-nominees have to go to camp. The two nominees are: OMH!!!!! I AM A GOOD SPOILER!!!!! It’s Manesh and John. They all say their goodbyes and leave.
Mutant John explains to John and Manesh what will be essentially a gross food challenge. They will get appetizer, main course and dessert.
The appetizer is a jalapeño pepper. They both eat it with no problem. The main course is this disgusting slice of something made out off chopped pig ears. I won’t traumatize you all by telling you how gross this all was and how John threw it up.
JOHN IS EXILED AND MANESH STAYS!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! KILL ME NOW!!!!! The “hunk” is gone and the creep stays. NOOOOOO!!!!!
John places his mark on the show’s logo, just like Ryan did. He says in his final confessional how surprised he was that this happened. He never saw JeffGator’s plot against him. Poor guy.
Next on Exiled, this one should be good: Manesh returns to camp and starts yelling at them: “I feel like I’m surrounded by a bunch of little people and the only reason I worked my butt off in the competition, is so I could come back and tell you all that”. Got it Manesh, we saw all of it in the preview, can you go away now?
Manesh proceeds to tell Carole: “I won’t let you belittle me because you are better friends with Meg”.
We then we see Mutant Jason asking them if they have ever been buried alive. We see Carole buried in the sand, then Amanda buried in the sand screaming because there is crab on her face. EWWW !!!!!
