I do not think Twila will last very long. She will grate on the rest of the women. Hell, she was grating on me and she only had about 2 minutes of screen time. I can't imagine being around her all day.

Eliza is annoying.

Why do you come on Survivor if you can't swim? Bubba!!!

Brook seemed kinda like a cocky asshole. Better that he is gone.

Groucho 09-17-04 08:38 AM

I liked how somebody misspelled Brook's name as "Brooke."

BURN!

As for Dolly, I've got a "pole" that's been "greased with pig fat" that she can "climb."

Annoying, but the most attractive if memory serves IMO.

I see 2 of the older guys, Chris and the one that can not swim that need to go soon. I am a little glad to see one of the young guys go first to show that if you are young and in shape you maybe a target. Now hopefully next time they will go for the weakest link.

I'm so tired of this "male vs. female" crap. Burnett has already done this on Survivor and now twice on the Apprentice.

Can you imagine the uproar if a reality show pitted whites against blacks? (Granted, that would mean they would need to cast more than 1-2 minorities per season.)

Why is it ok to constantly pit men against women?

I found the Olympic basketball quite compelling myself. ;)

But Burnett didn't do it... the Vanuatu tribal chief did it ;)

The next season of Real World/Road Rules Challenge will be men vs women again too

I'm sad that this would be impossible because I'm curious how a season like this would go. I suspect it might actually be fascinating television, not for any racist reasons but because it would force a lot of people to confront their own assumptions about stuff. Alas, impossible. But it could be interesting.

I think it's time to start allowing foreigners in the cast.

Good idea. :thumbsup:

Why? Just about every country has it's own "Survivor" franchise.

I don't give a rat's ass about what every other country does, but I would like to see how the dynamic would change if you threw a few foreigners in with Americans.

Groucho 09-17-04 10:23 AM

What would be really cool is if they did a Survivor where all the castaways spoke a different language, and nobody understood anybody else. They could call it "Survivor: Hell in the Pacific."

Jim 09-17-04 10:33 AM

I wonder if there was some way the producers got blindsided on the vote too? You'd think they would've shown him more if they had any film of him. It just seemed like the vote had nothing to do with what was shown in the episode. If something happened later on in the game when you know the characters that could be interesting, but I had no clue which one Brook was. I've seen every episode of every Survivor, but I don't recall the ending of an episode leaving me feeling so flat (except for most of the Thailand season).

That would be cool. It worked well when they had Big Tom on the cast.

I think Dolly's very pretty, and Ami probably has the better bod of the gals this season (will need to investigate further, though).

Groucho 09-17-04 10:43 AM

Be sure to finish your "investigation" before Noon Pacific time!

cdollaz 09-17-04 10:44 AM

I would like a survivor where there were 2 8-person tribes. Each of the tribes would be made of 4 pairs of people who are close to each other (siblings, best friends, etc.). Would add an interesting dynamic to the game as eventually you would have to vote out your companions.

Would be interesting to see the blacks did, seeing how every black man they have ever had on survivor didn't pull his weight?

I'm reasonably sure that there has been at least one already. Wasn't Shi-Ann originally from Taiwan?

She was an american.

I want to see a Survivor where every castmember lives on their own little island and just meets at the challenges.

No, I'm kidding. That would be idiotic. But I did think at first last night that the tribes might live with the actual Vanuatu tribe from the opening. That might have been interesting.

I think so but she's an American citizen. She lives in NYC.

From CBS.com:


Shii Ann Huang was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and immigrated to the United States via New Jersey when she was eight years old. Two years later, she moved to Mesa, Arizona, where she became a state champion speech and debate competitor during high school. In her spare time, she also raised a prize-winning sheep for Future Farmers of America.

After high school, Shii Ann attended the University of California, Berkeley where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree (with honors) in English Literature. She then moved to New York City, where she received a Master's degree at New York University/Tisch School of the Arts' Interactive Telecommunications Program. She is currently employed as an executive recruiter. She previously worked as a web producer and an advertising account executive.

So you are saying an entire team might be a problem as they would not work?? :confused:

Seems to me that this may be more perception on your part. I recall a problem with cute young females not working too.

On that one survivor where the one black contestant was accused of groping the female contestant, he pulled his weight as much as the short guy. Seems in that series the men in general did not pull their weight.

On the African one, there were some issues with integrity, but I do not recall the one black contestant being lazy.

Just my recollections.

Yes, It would be fun to watch either team (blacks or young cute females) starve too.
