Eliza's starting to get that skeletor look to her cheeks, sunken in, sallow looking.

Yeah, I wasn't posting about anyone specifically. It's just sometimes you want to read about the show, what happened on it, or why you liked (or didn't like) that particular episode - it just seems so many of "this season sucks" posts.

Maybe we should start making separate "it sucks/it's boring" threads for each show.

Didn't mean to offend.

Jeff Probst filled in for Regis this morning on "Regis & Kelly". Kelly Ripa did a hilarious impersonation of Eliza trying to catch the pig.

Didn't Scout tell Rory she wouldn't vote him off? The lady has a secret face.

Twila: They're trying to blow smoke up my butt.

Talk about a mix metaphor.

You've never heard that phrase before? Usually, it's "ass."

I actually thought last night's episode was one of the better eps this season. You had some entertaining challenges and then the betrayal among the women. Should be interesting next week to see if Rory is able to stay alive.

I agree- while this isn't one of my favorite seasons, I tune in every week. Last night's ep was the best of the season so far!

And how about Ami in that blue bikini?! I think she looks better now than she did in Playboy!

My wife and I were talking about Jeff's comment on "at least one more night." Does anyone think he's saying that just to keep the survivors on their toes?

Was Ami an actually Playboy Playmate (centerfold) or was she in a special edition or Girls of the _____?

Did anyone notice the eyebrows? I'm wondering if the producers are taking a more active role this season vis a vis appearance, etc. No one seems to have the levels of grime, sores, insect bites and festering diseases that they've had in previous seasons, and last night a number of the female players' eyebrows were very obviously plucked and shaped, Ami and Eliza most obviously (or perhaps it's just that I spend more time watching them than I spend watching Scout). Did anyone else notice this?

I noticed at least 2 girls with well done eyebrows. I wondered about it as well. Maybe one took a tweezer as luxury item??

My post wasn't directed at you, bored silly (talk about a fitting user name). You stated your opinion and posted a legtimate thought. It's when you get the same thing posted over and over again by the same people every week that it gets kinda old. Sorry if I offended.

This season is a bit slow. It's hard to follow-up All-Stars. We have to transition back to a cast of unknowns and therefore we are not predisposed to the characters. As with every season, it will get better. The fewer the contestants, alongside the fact that we get to know the remaining better each week always makes for good television. This season will inevitably pick up.

NOT WORK SAFE~NOT WORK SAFE

All-Stars was the first full season that I watched (before then I only saw an episode or 2). I wasn't the craziest about it because it was all about Boston Rob - and everyone seemed to fear or look up to him.

I'm appreciating this season much more because none of the people know each other, and the show (to me) is starting to lose it's predictability - in terms of who is getting eliminated next.

I'm starting to like Rory now - just wondering what the hell he'll do or say next.

As for Ami, I think the more she takes a firm stand (and disagreeing with tribe-mates in the process), the more likely it is for the others to turn on her.

I still dig her lower back tattoo though

No offence taken, and you are not wrong. I'm trying to stick it out until the merger. That's when it gets juicy with personal award challenges and single person immunity. So we'll see.

This is Ami by the way. She didn't want to vote her ally Leann off, but other than that she probably couldn't choose between Eliza, Lisa and Rory. POOF! Lisa gives her a reason, however weak.

Weird, I actually noticed that myself. Normally I wouldn't notice anything but boobs.

Let me start this post by saying that I have not made a Survivor post all season. That being said, I have watched all the seasons of Survivor (and will continue to do so) but this is the worst one so far, although I thought last night was the best ep of the season so far. None of the characters has really captured my attention yet.

I was talking to my uncle (also a fan of the show) and he thinks the problem could be that the contestants know the show too well now. He said it might be more interesting, competitive again if you get contestants all between the ages of 25-35 or some common age range like that. That way, you don't have the obvious targets (the young, strong, good looking ones or the old ones) and the game becomes about the personalities and strategy again.

I realize the one big problem with this is that you lose out on some of the diversity in casting, but this season should show that if you are a certain "type" then you will automatically be a target anyway.

But who knows? Next season they might have another great cast and prove to us that the show isn't old at all.

I'm thinking that Rory might be safe for now.

Yassur has lost all four challenges since the shuffle. They're in trouble.

I can't believe Scout voted to boot Rory. Jesus, do they want to lose every singel challenge? Now's the time to pick off the dead wood instead of doing this "girl power" shit. He performed well in both challenges, and if they know what's good for them, they'll keep him around.

Just going by last night's votes, I have to wonder if Scout isn't going to be the next to go. She's fucking worthless out there.

I think the show's biggest mis-step this season was to segregate the tribes by sex. On the female tribe, they went from sisterhood from catty in about ten seconds, and the geeks ganged up on the jocks in the male tribe. This led them to losing a couple of their potentially interesting players quickly; namely Bradley and Dolly. It's really quite interesting to see how well Lopevi is able to work together by breaking up the old alliances. John seems to be integrating well into the Sarge-Chad-Chris alliance, and Twila and Julie seem to be mixing in well, too.

I agree 100%. I thought I was the only one who thought that way.

Well. I sure wasn't expecting an Apprentice spoiler in a Survivor thread. I still have it on my Tivo to watch.

About the show being boring. I feel like I can say whatever the hell (okay, heck!) I want since I've never missed one episode. It is true that this kind of show can take some time to get to a point where you know the people and have a rooting interest in who moves on. I really don't know if I'm actually tiring of the whole idea or if the people chosen are just a little snoozy. Half way through All-Star I was already looking forward to the older format of unknowns. The two seasons before All-Star were great.

I continue to watch because I know that the show can still get interesting if the right dynamics crop up. So far, not much of this has happened.

Nope, you're not the only one. I've stated similar sentiments in the previous threads. Very nice indeed. And B.A.'s favorite isn't too shabby either.

Hey Josh, I'm pretty sure Scout isn't in any danger. She seems to be in pretty tight with Ami and she probably ok'd the vote with her. Chances are Scout made some type of a deal with Lisa when she gave the older women the upper hand by voting out Mia and Scout was just giving her a sympathy vote.

Amy is sure turning into a bitch, I thought she was quite nice in the beginning (especially after I saw her playboy shots). I have a new respect for Julie now
