Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 04:29 PM (EST) "Survivor #18 Episode #1 East Coast Spoiler Thread" Please keep all sigpic-free first impressions of this season's cast on this thread until midnight EST, by which time the West Coast will have had their chance to be horribly disappointed by them too. Because let's face facts: at this point, we're tuning in for the scenery. And I don't mean the swimsuits. 'Oooh, look! Brazilian vegetation!' It's a Nature documentary where the camera crew keeps getting in the way. Because the casting department has stopped pretending to care, and we can either pay for their lack of effort or concentrate on the nearest tree. You don't believe me? Rule of thumb: the more Jeff talks about how much a given group might be in his Top Five Ever, the more trouble we are in, the more pointless game-wrecking twists we will see, don't memorize tribal assemblies because we'll be switching them up once per segment, and anyone who can play will be taken out behind the shelter and shot. It doesn't matter how Jeff actually feels about a group: the worse they are, the more he has to talk them up. It's in his contract, and do you really want MB to take final possession of the poor man's soul? Models vs. millionaires: that's what we've got this year. People who might remotely know how to play the game, but have no need for the prize. People who've never heard of the game, but someone on the staff thought they looked good in a bikini. Veterans of other reality shows? Yeah, we blew up that line when we came to it. You want my all-important first impression? We're looking at the first cast assembled from sixteen initial boots. Because no one wants thinkers. No one wants planners. No one in the casting department, anyway -- and if we somehow accidentally get one who managed to sneak through, the game will be manipulated to destroy their chances. The strong will be tortured. The smart will be invalidated. The weak will be empowered and given egos to match the titans. Strategy will be a joke. Talent turns into a punchline. (This is all a recreation of MB's childhood fantasies about getting back at his schoolmates. You know that.) And we're at the four-paragraph mark in this introduction, so it's time to switch up the tribes again. Survivor: Tocantins. Come for the trees. Stay for the flowers. Try to ignore the quasi-sentient garbage.   Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 04:32 PM (EST) 1. "Live post-premiere discussion --" -- will be at http://www.myinfochat.com/ in the Recreation & Sports room immediately following the closing credits. (Have Java enabled before entering and pick a name you'll be comfortable with being locked into.) As Hell's Kitchen is currently scheduled to be on right after this mess and a lot of us follow up Idiots Who Can't Think with Idiots Who Can't Cook, we may have a late-arriving crowd until one series flinches. Gordon's not the flinching type.   Top

michel 10958 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 06:57 PM (EST) 2. "RE: Live post-premiere discussion --" "Idiots Who Can't Cook" Just put on the Outback DVD.   Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 07:03 PM (EST) 3. "RE: Live post-premiere discussion --" The important thing here is that Keith doesn't get more than two references in this thread.   Top

moonbaby 17120 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 08:06 PM (EST) 4. "Coach?" LAST EDITED ON 02-12-09 AT 08:14 PM (EST) There's a contestant named Coach? Where's NORM? They are already divided into 2 tribes, black (Timbira) and red (I didn't get that yet). They're grabbing all they can from the truck to take to their camps. First impressions were funny, one person would say "oh he look good to have around" and the person they were saying that about was thinking "she's gonna crumble" about them. Wahahaha! Are they already voting 2 people out? They immediately vote the older woman, Sandy. She's p!ssed! The other vote is a young woman with a fever. Sierra, I think is her name. She wasn't too happy either. WAIT! Jiffy said vote 2 ppl who will not take part in this adventure. By that he meant a four hour hike to camp. The 2 ppl they were so quick to vote out get a heli to their camps. LMAO!!!   Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 08:19 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Coach?" Coach isn't the brightest bird in this tree. He's got some qualities to him that could work in the game -- and doesn't know enough to shut up about them. At least he's bright enough to spot how the game typically works: we do have some thinkers in this pool. I'm surprised Sierra got this far -- and I mean her illness. She must have been confirmed on the trip out: no time to swap in a reserve player. And is it just me, or did Jeff introduce our setting as 'Token Cheese'?   Top

Asrai 6083 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-13-09, 12:23 PM (EST) 40. "RE: Coach?" Oh thank God someone else heard that too!! When he said that, I LMAO! I heard 'Token Cheese' every.single.time. My honey and kiddo were not amused by me LOL at the mention of it by the end of the show. Token Cheese? Bwahahahaha!   Top

PepeLePew13 26134 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 08:26 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Survivor #18 Episode #1 East Coast Spoiler Thread" I think Sandy's found the secret stash of extra-strong Brazilian coffee beans judging from her hyper twitch-eye-pop-twitch-can't-shut-up-twitch body language once the whole tribe arrived at camp.   Top

Snidget 44369 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 08:28 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Survivor #18 Episode #1 East Coast Spoiler Thread" She can't be Tatiana's Grandma, can she?   Top

jbug 17146 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-13-09, 09:32 AM (EST) 35. "RE: Survivor #18 Episode #1 East Coast Spoiler Thread" Darn you Snidge! I knew this was bound to happen. She'll be everywhere, won't she? And for a long time, won't she?   Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 08:44 PM (EST) 21. "RE: Survivor #18 Episode #1 East Coast Spoiler Thread" Maybe that's what she grabbed off the truck. Which was a nice sequence. Welcome back to the beginning.   Top

Loree 8616 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 08:27 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Survivor #18 Episode #1 East Coast Spoiler Thread" The older woman is already grating on my nerves.   Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 08:28 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Survivor #18 Episode #1 East Coast Spoiler Thread" Sandy: Tina without the tact.   Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 08:28 PM (EST) 8. "No-win situations: two takes." Take 1: Sandy spends the time waiting for her tribe to arrive to look for the idol, doing no work on the camp. Her tribe tries to play kiss and make up, but also backlashes on her for doing nothing. She's heading for the first boot. Take 2: Sierra, still ill, spends all her time working and putting a shelter together. Her tribe, while thankful, still sees her as a weakness -- and Coach says that because she didn't share the bonding experience of the hike, she's on the outs. She's heading for the first boot. Why do people apply for this game?   Top

Snidget 44369 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 08:29 PM (EST) 11. "RE: No-win situations: two takes." Who applies? Even TVGuide this week had something about them almost all being recruits.   Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 08:42 PM (EST) 18. "RE: No-win situations: two takes." Who applies? Everyone who doesn't make it.   Top

Prof_ Wagstaff 4196 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 02-12-09, 08:31 PM (EST) 13. "RE: Survivor #18 Episode #1 East Coast Spoiler Thread" I suspect that he'll be around for awhile, but I already can't stand the "Coach".   Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 08:43 PM (EST) 20. "RE: Survivor #18 Episode #1 East Coast Spoiler Thread" Coach: Gardener without the brains. J.T. may be Phillip without the body mass. I'm getting serious echoes from a couple of these people.   Top

"RE: Survivor #18 Episode #1 East Coast Spoiler Thread" Should have known it'd be Carolina - the camera repeatedly panned on her the first time in camp and especially during the immunity challenge. Plus, of course, she got uber-bossy and everything back in camp after the IC.   Top

Loree 8616 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 08:43 PM (EST) 19.

I don't know enough about anyone else on that tribe to see them getting booted this soon.   Top

He's still going by tribe colors instead of names. And with that length of discussion, we're not going to meet the rest of them for a while.   Top

PepeLePew13 26134 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 08:54 PM (EST) 27. "Bye, Carolina!" Votes revealed: Sandy Carolina Carolina Carolina Carolina Carolina See ya in Loser Lodge.   Top

PepeLePew13 26134 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-12-09, 08:59 PM (EST) 31. "RE: Dead idol?" Good question - I forgot all about it, and am curious if there was a note attached to the HII saying "you must declare it after the vote if you want to use it at TC - Jiffy won't call for it."   Top

All she had to do was keep quiet and Sandy had that big old Bullseye on her. But Caroline kept yapping and annoyed them into booting her.   Top
