BTW- the "Survivor" racial tribe thing is over after 3 shows

[underpants]

So much for the racial thing.

Billy blew everyone away in this Tribal Council pledge of love to Candice. It was all the talk around Aitu’s tribe. JP says “If it’s true, well then…It’s not true. It’s ridiculous.” Over at Puka, Cau Boi is talking and talking and driving everyone crazy. Even if they like him, he’s starting to get on people’s nerves. Brad says” Cao Boi is not all there…unless he’s medicated or something”.

Reward challenge
This happens quick this week and that’s because there are surprises! Everyone walks in and Jeff says “Drop your buffs!”. Huh? “It’s time to integrate!”. Every one is lined up as men and women. Each person reaches into a bag and grabs a stone. The people who have an “X” on their stone are the captains.


The 4 captains are Cecilia, Parvati, Brad, and Jonathon. Jeff tells them that the women must pick women and men pick men. They cannot pick anyone from their old tribe. After each person picks, the person picked for their group must pick the next person, again, not from their tribe.

The picking order goes like this:

Women 1st -> Cecilia - Flika - Sundra - Becky - Candice
Women 2nd -> Parvati - Jenny - Christina - Rebecca - Stephanie

Men 1st -> Brad - JP - Nate - Adam
Men 2nd -> Jonathon - Yul - Ozzy - Cao Boi


Each of the 4 captains now takes an egg from a bag and holds it in front of them. They squeeze it. They are filled with paint, either red or blue. The Red Men join the Red Women and the Blue Men join the Blue Women. I don’t see how this could have been fairer.

2. Well look

3. That idiot Nathan...

...on the African-American team really ticked me off acting as though he'd been saved from a fate worse than death when the tribes merged. He likened the merge to "getting out of the ghetto". I'm officially rooting against this jackass now.

4. About the "black" tribe

Boy that subject line should bring them running to see how I deep I get myself into it.

The thing that I noticed/thought was funny was that they were all city folks. They were far more lost out in the wild than everyone else (as a group). They are clearly very educated-the two women who bonded so quickly definitely had an air of suffiscation that seperated them from crowd pretty much anywhere.

I told my wife that the JOKE here was that they all sounded a lot "whiter" than anyone else especially the "white tribe". This was confirmed to me by a bunch of co-workers discussing this just last week.

That is my take on it. Oh one more thing-I was wondering where the military aspect was, Survivor always has ex-military on it well Billy was a Marine. Yep that was the US military's representation.

6. There is no 'ex-military' anymore.

They're all stop-lossed.

7. "...sounded a lot "whiter" than anyone else..."

OK, I'm done here.

8. Oh well I knew that would happen

that is the JOKE as told by a comedian most likely a black comedian.

5. Why, oh, why, does Jeff Probst always say "I'll go tally the votes",

when all he's going for is to collect them? He does the actual tallying after he comes back. It drives me crazy.

9. They talked about this after the first season

He tallies them and then they are put into the correct order for the most dramatic effect. Needless to say he already knows the outcome before he comes back with the votes.
