(Note: If you are viewing this in Internet Explorer this post #95 has become merged with rachelOH63's post #40 because I added an HTML end comment tag above this line which is invisible but which turned off the comment tag that rachelOH63's inadvertantly turned on.

Replying to rachelOH63's post #40 to try to turn off HTML comment that she accidentally turned on which in Internet Explorer is making the rest of the page as one LONG comment.

rachelOH63's post #40 has this phrase in brackets:

(comment open for snarky comments...)

HTML Info:
HTML Comment Tag is supposed to start with "<!--" and end with "-->".

Apparently Internet Explorer also allows "<comment>" to start a comment and end comment with "</comment>" so I added an end comment HTML tag (using brackets) to the start of this post to see if that will turn off the comment tag in Internet Explorer. Apparently Firefox and Chrome ignore this HTML comment tag.

Edited to add...

IT WORKED!!!

If you are viewing this in Internet Explorer I believe you can now see the rest of the posts starting with #41. You are missing the following posts (between Rachel's #40 and my post #95) which I'm including here so that those viewing in Internet Explorer can read them...

That's the problem I have with blood vs water meaning blood relatives against non-blood relatives. Not only would husbands and wives form the stronger bonds without being blood related but it would force CBS to weigh the relationships. I mean if Monica is on one tribe with her husband than Colton and his partner should be on the same tribe but then why not Kat and her boyfriend? CBS should stay far away from deciding that one relationship is more meaningful than another.

It's simply two different forms of love bonds. Family love bonds are strongest in terms of immediate family (parent/child, siblings) and are in the blood, as it is said. The lover pair bond isn't in the blood but is also quite strong.

Anyway, yeah, in terms of the social experiment of Survivor, they've got a farce in this one. Nothing will be proved one way or the other because it is a ludicrous test.

I said after the first All-Stars, Survivor is best when played by strangers. The stranger the better.

I think how it gets divided up is that the blood pairs are both from the same family and the water pairs are two people who were originally from two different families who chose to be together. I don't know that they're really testing anything, they're just trying to come up with a Survivor game that will get good ratings. Whether it's any good of a Survivor game remains to be seen.

Wouldn't Monica and her husband, Colton and his partner, and Kat and her boyfriend ALL be on the water tribe? The entire thing is just a gimmick to try to bring something new without jumping the shark. I do,though, see many tests of the strengths of those bonds. There may be no family visit, but there will still be those Machiavellian choices. This time there is the twist of how much would you sacrifice for a loved one.

Survivor jumped the shark during Cook Islands. This whole gimmick is as dumb as Terry's fight with Aras about the bond between husband and wife versus the one between mother and child. Come to think of it, I guess this is why they cast Aras! Are we sure that Terry and his wife aren't there?!
