"Survivor Love/Loathe List v19.8"
We have a merge at TWELVE. And a minority of castaways are given a one in five shot at immunity just because they were born without penises??? It's not like the IC was weightlifting or balance beam. There was no gender advantage with that silly tee ball challenge. OK, can we all say BIG BREAK for the same players Production graciously provided skimpy bikinis for earlier in the season?

1) RUSSELL (1,1,2,1,1,2) - The man never stops playing. How poetic that he tells us it's not about challenges but it's a "social" game to "outwit" opponents. How ironic that his "social game" got foiled by Laura winning (what's that called?) OH YES...a CHALLENGE. Can't blame him for playing his idol...better to be safe than sorry. And what the heck, practically everyone knew he had it. Anyway, anyone who gets grapes fed to them by Monica deserves to remain at the top spot.

2) LAURA (3,6,9,13,15,13) - It's one thing to be provided a break; it's another to take advantage of it. Laura did just that. Little did she know it was for her survival. I have always been steadfast in my opinion when Barbie Dolls bond it's more a natural reaction as opposed to a stellar social game and/or master strategy. Of course I always have opposition on that opinion.

3) SHAMBO (2,3,5,12,4,15) - For the second time at TC Shambo is kept out of the loop (voting only with the player who got booted.) She perservered the first time; I'm pulling for her again. She was DEAD ON wth her assessment of Laura and the "90210" clique. It's not her fault she doesn't "rock" in a bikini.

4) JOHN (6,8,7,14,13,14) - Nice effort in the challenge. He gets more credit because he had to defeat six players instead of four (in other words he has a penis.) But ranked lower because thinking one of your own is expendable at any point in the game is just plain dumb.

5) MICK (8,4,8,11,9,5) - This is nuts but I actually think he has an excellent chance to win this thing. He'll stick to Russell like Crazy Glue. Although we have not seen it yet in challenges, he appears to be in good condition. And he can't be a complete bonehead getting through Med school. Granted it would be on Russell's coattails but I could see him as our Sole Survivor.

6) DAVE (5,2,1,3,6,7T) - Last episode I said Dave resembled a pirate. Michel said he needed an eye patch. Actually he (as well as the other Galu men) should wear TWO eye patches because clearly they are in the dark. Sure he said the smart thing to do is systematically pick off the Foa Foa tribe. But actions speak louder than words, and in the end he voted out one of his own.

7) BRETT (4,10,10,8,10T,7T) - Still floating around in No Man's Land. I can see him advancing but give him virtually no shot to win.

8) MONICA (11,12,12,16,12,12) - I can't think of anything offhand she specifically did to tick me off this episode. But I can't escape the fact that with every day she stays in the game it's like finding another Christmas present under the tree with your name on it. She should have been gone.

9) NATALIE (9,5,5,7,6,11) - In one pathetic statement she summed up her gameplay: "You guys tell me what to do and I'll do it." And PLEASE don't even entertain the notion that she said that purposely as "strategy." And if you're going to play the Edit card on this one then "Go Fish!" Russell's right...she's a tool.

10) KELLY (10,11,11,9,9,7T) - A Natalie wannabe. But at least Natalie has Russell's coattails so I see her advancing further than Kelly. Being a Barbie Doll will probably buy her a couple more episodes.

11) JAISON (12,13,13,15,8,1) - As dead on as Shambo was with her assessment of Laura, Erik was more dead on with Jaison. Jaison talks about his Resume? OK, let's highlight a few bulletpoints on his Resume:
- He whines about the weather,
- He complains about conditions,
- He's got a chip on his shoulder the size of Greenland,
- He plays the race card,
- He gives up in a team challenge.
As "The Donald" would say..."YOU'RE FIRED!"

BOOTED) ERIK (7,9,4,2,5,4) - A blindside means you never saw it coming, so hard to criticize him for not playing the idol. I said as far back as two episodes ago his mouth will get him in trouble. I then got a response that he would be targeted as a threat regardless. No one on these Boards pays more homage to victims of the Anti-Darwin Snydrome (ADS) than I. But make no mistake about it, Erik is on the Jury not because of the ADS or as a challenge threat but because of his mouth. I agree with all he said, but how and when he said it was his demise.

1. "RE: Survivor Love/Loathe List v19.8"
The last 15 minutes was the most entertaining part of this season, so far.

1) Natalie - Because she appeared to be the person who suggested voting out Erik; and because she looks to have two possible alliances to work: Foa-Foa or the women of Galu. If Galu blows itself up, could see her in a final three with Mick and Jaison. Ugh.

2) Laura - For taking advantage of the situation to help move out a competitor from her tribe rather than ally, Monica. Appears Galu thinks they are using Russell (and Russell's footsoldiers from the Foa-Foa) and suppose they are. But wonder if Galu will repeat last season's (Timbura was it?) mistake and knock enough of their own people out that all Foa-Foa needs is a defector or two to take control.

3) Mick - Somehow never seems to be targeted, getting the sense that he works and plays well with others which could keep him around a long time.

4) Shambo - Once again out of the loop at vote off time, but also was not targeted and could be swing voter for Foa-Foa.

5) Russell - Attempt to ally with Laura appeared an embarrasing failure. Galu's didn't appear to take him very seriously (except for his now, gone idol.) Even if Russell's idea of finding and exploiting the cracks in Galu succeeds think it likely other Foa-Foa's will be biggest beneficiaries as Natalie and Mick especially seem to be easier to work and live with than Russell, or Jaison.

6) Dave - For his goofy comment to Jeff about his sport.

7) Kelly - Not much going on this episode, except that her position likely improved (short term anyway) by Erik going rather than Monica.

8) Monica - Doesn't seem highly thought of by anyone in the game. Saved for another week.

9) Brett - Seems like a nice guy but still not hearing much from him. Awkward non-high five at tribal council suggests embarrasment at vote.

10) John - Suppose he deserves credit for it going unnoticed that he suggested voting out Monica, thanks to Erik operating as mouthpiece/strongarm whatever. Could mean he's the shrewdest player yet. More likely means he started something that immediately got out of his control and came back to hurt his own alliance. Can be seen as either smart and sneaky if in fact took advantage of situation to take out possible strong rival; or weak and incompetent if he didn't want Erik gone but didn't vote with him either. Could John or Dave be the next gone?

11) Jaison - Erik might have made himself look foolish at TC, but he seemed correct in his assessment of Jaison. Resume far exceeds accomplishments in the game so far. Notice that the only times Jaison has looked really into the game is when two different guys made him angry enough that he wanted them gone. Seems pretty insecure.

Gone) Erik - Made himself look foolish at TC for sure. Wonder if he irritated even fellow allies with blunt talk. But did seem to sum up Jaison quite well and comments about Russell seemed pretty accurate as well. Was way too willing to be the mouthpiece for his tribe or alliance. Overall did find him one of the more likeable people this year. Would have preferred to see someone else go.

Wrong. Jaison is the one that said those words. After Erik had given them orders, Jaison said he wanted to vote against Erik, Natalie said she didn't know if there were enough votes against Erik. That's when Jaison said those words. Natalie went to work on Laura and changed the game.

There's a smell of dirty locker room in here.

No Michel...I'm not wrong. I rewatched the clip. Not only did Natalie say it, her words were plastered on the screen when they past her lips and I quote...

"You guys tell me what you want to do and I'll go along with it."

Now you can spin it anyway you want to implicate Jaison. But she said what she said and in my mind confirms the "tool" she is according to the only one REALLY playing the game this season...Russell.

LOL! Then she suddenly has a very husky voice and speaks without her lips moving. Guess you need to watch again.

Mind you, there's nothing wrong consulting allies but it's Jaison speaking. Natalie's says she doesn't know if they can get Erik. Then, while her face is on screen, Jaison interrupts her and says those words, adding: "But I can leave this game easily knowing he went before me".

1) Shambo - I really want to root for her, and consistently do. However, I can't help but feel that she is completely clueless. It is not an act or a strategy she is deploying; the lady is really clueless.

2) John - Displayed characteristics of a man in the latest episode. He stood for something, and I appreciate that trait in this otherwise group of weak men.

3) Jaison - Why all the hatred for Jaison from message board fans here? It says a lot about those of you who despise the man. Your true outlook on life is clearly revealed everytime you mention his name. Jaison is brillant, well-spoken, and passionate about life. I give him credit for speaking out against the things he thought were wrong. And, I am pleasantly surprised that he did not wuss out on those issues. Eric is clearly jealous of Jaison. Who brings up someone's resume in the game of survivor? Why would it matter? It matters to someone who feels insecure next to the intelligent black man (Jaison). Jaison doesn't have a "chip" on his shoulders. He clearly is tired of all the hatred thrown his way because he is successful. What he will have to do is learn to suck it up and deal with it. Unless he becomes a do-nothing, low-wage earning, loser (which would then make many people comfortable with him), he can expect to deal with these attitudes for the rest of his life. Jaison, in time you will learn that continued success is the best revenge in life. As Kenneth on 30 Rock would say, "haters, move to the left!"

4) Monica - I really do not like her, but somehow she manages to keep her worthless self in the game. That's a survivor.

5) Russell - Though his ability to talk crap in confessionals is much stronger than his ability to actually affect the game, he has been the only interesting sight in this lackluster field of survivor candidates.

6) Dave - Immature.

7) Natalie - Who?

8) Kelly - What?

9) Brett - When?

10) Laura - Where/

11) Mick - Why? Why is this man getting so much credit that he does not deserve? He has done NOTHING as a leader. Had he not been selected as the leader early on in the game, I'm inclined to believe that we would never hear from him. It appears that many people are taken by handsome looks (looks that are very bland in my book). Furthermore, I'm not quite ready to refer to a "resident anesthesiologist" as a Doctor (or any anesthesiologist for that matter). Yes, I know that their jobs are important. But, most of my respect is reserved for the woman/man that is actually performing the surgery.

ah, an anesthesiologist IS a doctor. They went thru med school same as any other doctor. They then went through anesthesia school to become an anesthesiologist. Saying an anesthesiologist is not a doctor is like saying a neurologist is not a doctor. They are doctors with MORE schooling. They are specialists.

However, Mick is "in residency" and will not fully be a doctor until he completes that residency. So, not a doctor yet.

I hope, for your sake, that if you or anyone in your family ever needs surgery, you have a good anesthesiologist (not an anethetist, also good, but not MDs). They are the MDs who give you life support during surgery. Surgeons are technicians. They are busy doing the surgery, not giving oxygen, maintaining vital signs while blood is pouring out of a patient, and at the same time giving them the proper amount and combination of drugs necessary to keep a patient asleep. It is an art! Surgeons may be artists, too, but however knowledgable and talented they might be, they must have a good Doc to "pass gas", or the patient will be a coroner's case on the table.

Mick is an MD or he would not have secured a Residency.

ETA: Surgeons don't cut until the Anesthesiologist says "Go".

dang straight anesthetists are good. I used to live with one. Most doctors she worked with deferred to her.
for those who may still care-
anesthetist = RN who graduated from anesthesia school
anesthesiologist = MD who graduated from anesthesia school

You're kidding, right?

Don't care for Jaison, because with the exception of moving out Ben and Erik he hasn't shown much enthusiasm for anything the entire season. Perhaps he's been misrepresented by what they have shown of him, but he's been shown doing little but complaining.

11. "RE: Survivor Love/Loathe List v19.8"
Milkachulina...Welcome to the Boards.

Due to the subpar casting these past seasons, our Posters have dwindled to a precious few. New comments are always interesting...here are my responses:

SHAMBO - Granted she's no Russell as far as gameplay is concerned but not sure I would regard her as "completely clueless." When sent over to Foa Foa she was strategizing a bond with the Foa Foa tribe which she said in a confessional would be beneficial at merge. We began to see that with Russell and Shambo this past episode and I suspect will be a factor for her in this game going forward. She was also right on the money as far as Laura and the "90210" clique are concerned.

MONICA - Yes she is still "alive"...but because she is a "survivor???" She would have been out of the game two episodes ago if not for A) Russell S's unfortunate evacuation, and B) Production's decision to not move ahead with the double boot. BOTH of which Monica had absolutely, positively nothing to do with either directly or indirectly. Fact is Christmas came early for Monica.

RUSSELL - Clearly everyone has different opinions on each castaway, but personally I think Russell has affected this game more than any other player this season.

NATALIE - You ask "who?" I think Natalie is an integral part of this season even if it is as the Puppermaster's biggesst "tool". We even have those among us who hold coattail riders and puppets in an almost saintly regard. Stick around; you'll hear from them when they read this response.

MICK - I find it somewhat amusing that you do not regard a man who completed Med school as a "doctor" because he is in "residency," yet Jaison who is listed as a Law student and has not even completed Law School you label as "brilliant." As for giving Mick "credit"...I've called him a coattail rider and Russell's puppet, so personally that's far from a rave in my book. Of course those who embrace the coattail riders and suck-ups will say otherwise.

JAISON - For the record I don't "despise" the man. I just simply think he sucks as a castaway on Survivor. Facts are he complains about the weather and conditions and he flat out gave up in a team challenge. And whatever you want to think, he played the race card at the ep. 3 TC with Ben. He could imply and assume all he wants, but you better have clear and indisputable proof before you publically label someone as a "racist." Even when Ben initially defended himself by saying he never mentioned "black", Jaison's response was something to the effect of "Yeah Right." I guess I'll give him a pass because he's currently a Law Student, but when/if he becomes a Law Graduate, he better come up with a more compelling arguement based on concrete facts.
You mentioned in your post "true outlook on life"...well a true outlook on life is blacks are not the only individuals who reside in ghettos. Yet that's how Jaison spun it because he IS a defensive individual who, Yes, carries a chip on his shoulder.

One final note...What about Jaison getting into Ben's face (while playing his race card) and saying "Southern Boy...Southern Ways?" Tell me THAT doesn't reek of implications and stereotypes? But I guess those implications are allowable and others are not? That says a lot about those who accept inconsistencies in life and society.

And this comes in the aftermath of last season when Spenser refused to let any tribemates (namely JT) know he was homosexual because JT is a "Southern Boy." HOLY SMOKES, given Spenser and Jaison's statements in back to back seasons, do we dare imply that Southerners are "gay-bashers" and "racists???"

Because I reside in the Mid-Atlantic states, I'm not personally offended by these castaway's innuendos, but it appears these past two seasons have not been too complimentary for the poor folks living down in the Land of Dixie.

1. Russell-Again, it's the season of Russell so he'll be here until someone else rises to the occasion.

2. Natalie-Great social game

3. Shambo-mostly because again I feel sorry for her.

4. Laura for winning immunity

5. John for winning immunity

6. Mick-he didn't do anything good.. but didn't do anything bad.

7. Jaison- because he's very goodlooking (alright, that's shallow but it's my list, right?)

8. Dave: I like him but it's dumb to break up your alliance

9. Brett: Invisible and voted to break up his own alliance

10. Monica: This made more sense to me since she nearly left last time but still I don't care for her. She's dull.

11. Kelly: Again none of the Galu people seemed to be playing the game smartly at the moment. Kelly gets the bottom because I think Monica was here last week.

Really 8 through 11 could be switched around. They all made a dumb move (including Laura and John)

Erik played himself out of the game. Which when you think about it is really stupid.

Well said and accurately stated too. I have been commenting about the fact that Erik was his worst enemy for the past three weeks and in ep. 8 the prophecy has come true.

It's rather comical that fans are giving credit to their favorite players for Erik leaving the game when in fact it was his OWN doing. How silly.

On a sidenote I will be away for a week and a half so I CAN NOT intiate the weekly LOVE/LOATHE List for the next two episodes. Not a biggy since the continued poor casting has dried up a majority of the contributors on these Boards anyway.

Actually I can do the Lists now...If Russell is not voted off in the next two episodes he is #1. Everyone else...who cares. Unless of course you covert the tools, puppets, and idiots.

Catch you all in the couple weeks!

LAST EDITED ON 11-11-09 AT 10:56 PM (EST)

Running out of time, so a quickie from the cheap seats. I have been hellaciously busy.

1. Russell- Keeps his spot for doing about 5 times more work in the game than anyone else, but we saw cracks in his game this week. He didn't trust anyone enough to not play the HII, and without it, he no longer has the very thing he was trying to entice Galu with. I doubt he's going home anytime soon. True, kings get fed the grapes, but I don't think getting grapes from Monica puts you in an exclusive company. Just a hunch.

2. Laura- Here I present a woman who can play the game while leading, and not while going UTR or riding a coattail. Finally. We haven't seen her like since Ami, though there were others who might have had a chance if not put in the minority from the get go. She basically saw right thru Russell and offered him nothing, though her math was a little off (75/25, not 90/10). In the end, the threat to her came from John, not Russell or Shambo, who are completely ineffectual without him.

3. John- Though I don't like his strategy, I still contend it makes good sense. He is in a 5 person alliance. Remove Laura or Monica from the game now when the numbers are on your side. The only danger would be both the other women jumping to Foa Foa, but would Kelly do that? Seems doubtful. And if Russell then thinks you are on his side, all the better. His mistake was sending Erik, the least diplomatic player in the game, over to talk to FU FU about his plan. Of course, that put Erik in the cross-hairs instead of John, but boom, the women join with FU FU, strong arm the men, and now you have an alliance of 4, no stronger than FU FU.

4. Monica- Because I dig her, period. She saw right thru Russell too and played him like a guy at the bar. Russell saw it too, but that's just props to him. And who was the person John corralled to find out about the vote? Monica. The very person he originally wanted gone. Having an alliance to protect you isn't luck, not when they are friends. It is playing the game. And we don't know she would have been gone if not for the medivac. We never saw Brett agree to vote for her, and we've already seen one of John's plans implode. I hope she sticks around as long as possible.

5. Natalie- Another play-the-game-in-the-shelter player, of whom, we've seen dozens. I would drop her lower except for those below her. Jaison was the first to suggest voting for Erik, which was based on his personal feelings, not strategy. Natalie did nothing other than relay the information to Laura. Erik's fate was sealed at that point. Laura could no longer trust him; he was gone. Let's give the credit to the person with the power to make it happen. "I changed their minds." Geez. Another person we should send to Palestine to work out that conflict, apparently. Instead of voting out Monica, the Galu's voted out Erik. Tell me what great difference that makes to FU FU? The game hasn't changed. At least, not yet. And let's not forget Natalie's biggest asset in this game: being thought of as dumber than Betsy, Liz, Marisa or Ashley. Props.

6. Kelly- Reacted quickly to gather votes to get rid of Erik after finding out he was gunning for her friend. Also looked good in a bikini.

7. Shambo - Showed her loyalty by going with the plan afterall. Put her on the outside of another vote, but I don't think anyone will care. She is right on about Laura. Shambo is sort of a Gilligan, true, but Laura mistreated her from the start and made an enemy in the game. I understand Shambo's desire to see her gone.

8. Danger Dave- No danger here. No nothing. The end seems imminent. Not sure how. But there it is.

9. Brett- Who? Back to the editing room floor for this young man. We've seen blurs that have gotten more screen time than this enigma.

10. Mick- So quiet, he could be another member of Galu. Calm and deliberate. Sounds like good traits for a doctor. Not good for this game however. Might have gotten some flirting in with Monica. He's out of her league though. I, however, am not.

11. Jaison- Seriously, almost seems unfair to keep this guy here. I mean, he got his share of screen time, he was the first to suggest voting Erik, and he is an athletic, smart guy. However, I don't see how a single word Erik said could have been any truer. "Look at my resume"? "Your resume proves my point." Score one for Erik. This guy has one accomplishment in this game, and that happened the first day. His vote for Erik was even a hopeless one. He had clearly given up at that point and just wanted to vote for the guy he didn't like, even if voting for Monica was the clear smarter move at the time. And why didn't he like Erik? Because Erik had the nerve to tell him the frank reality. It is an easy thing to SUCK, and then just say "I don't care what you think." NICE.


the long list of infamy-

marisa- Superstar with a capital S
betsy- who? i forget
mean motorscooter- debacle
yasmin - debauchery
ben- good riddance
ashley- sweetie
Russell - learned to lead
liz - never able to find her place
Erik - Strong and intelligent player who wasn't afraid to talk a little smack. In the end, sunk by trying to lead while letting John strategically lead. Don't kill the messenger. Oh, too late.

Allow me to reprint my response from an eariler post pertaining to how Monica's game would have ended three episodes ago:


"Interesting observations on where Brett's true allegiance may be. He has not been referred to as "InvisiBrett" on these Boards for no reason. That being said, it's hard to get an accurate read on where his mind's at, but the point made in my post is a Galu vote would have ended Monica's game, regardless of who Brett is gravitating toward. Here's why...

With Russell's Medivac, Galu is down to eight members. Whether they went ahead with the double boot last episode, have the double boot next episode, or go back to the normal format of the IC loser going to TC and Galu loses--John, Erik, Dave, and Shambo all vote Monica. Brett must make a decision on either voting with the men + Shambo and make it a simple majority for a 5-3 Monica boot, or he confirms his allegiance to the three females and creates a 4-4 tie. If TC ends in a tie, the six Galu members (excluding Monica and Shambo) must draw the infamous purple stone to determine who goes home.

Even if Brett has formed an alliance with the three females (which we have not seen), or to consider Michel's suggestion that Brett may be secretly in love with Kelly (Hey, who could blame the kid) I simply do not see Brett putting himself and the other five in this position for someone's game to end in that manner."


Final Note...Having an alliance protect you IS part of the game. But being in a solid alliance of THREE in a tribe of NINE (with Russell S.) or EIGHT (without Russell S.) is not a smart game...at least numerically speaking. For one's name to even come up being on a tribe of EIGHT in a merge of TWELVE is pretty poor...especially when you are pathetically inept in challenges. She was spared for now thanks to Erik putting an extra knot every day on his noose since ep. 6.

Points well taken and probably true enough.
Now I ask that you unhand Monica and slowly back away. Thanks.

But if I catch ya eyeballing Liz I think I'll have to challenge you to a duel! HaHa
