Survivor: Fans vs Favorites Recaps

[Tom of China]

Hey guys, if you wanna read an interesting article from the latest TV GUIDE, check out the following links. I can say that it DOES contain some "maybe-spoilers" about the rest of the season though, so click at your own risk:

It was in TV GUIDE, so there's not like boot spoilers in there, but it does reveal some things, dynamics. Some explicit, some not so much. Can't really explain it. The most explicit thing it reveals is also probably the most obvious at this point, so I didn't see it as much of a spoiler, though others might think differently. If you do read the article, don't talk about it in this thread in case there are others who don't wanna know anything at all.

I discovered this article in my own personal issue of TV GUIDE that gets sent to my house and addressed to me for some inexplicably unknown reason. 30 issues later and I've yet to pay anybody...hmm...

But anyway, I am totally psyched for the rest of this season. This doesn't sound like typical Probstian hype. It sounds legit to me. And we've already been treated to an amazing start, so I'm confident the rest of the way will be paved with gold too.

lol, Tom, you aren't paying for a TV Guide and you get yours, yet I DO pay for mine, and I haven't gotten mine for this week yet. it should been in the mail yesterday. ... lol, when i get home from work on Monday's that's the one thing i look forward to, and I didn't have it. *tear*.

i'll just check the article out whenever i do get my issue.

Episode 6 RECAP:

Reward Challenge: The tribes were to swim out to collect bundles of planks, sticks, and ropes. They would then have ten minutes to build a blockade of the other tribe's tunnel. The tribes would then have another ten minutes to tear apart the blockade on their tunnel and get all the members of their tribe through to the other side.
Reward: The winning tribe would win a visit by two native Micronesians who would show them how improve their campsite.
Immunity Challenge: The tribes were to use two stepping poles to transfer two tribes members from one platform to another out at sea. All the tribe members would then swim out to a smaller tower. To win immunity, the tribe has to get all seven of its members on the tower with both feet on or above the top deck.
Highlights:
On Malakal, Tracy started to regret her decision to help the Fans vote out Joel. Airai won the Reward Challenge and elected to send Chet to Exile Island along with Jason. After the challenge, Jeff announced that the Survivor medical team wanted to look at Jonathan's knee. The doctor recommended that he be evacuated and taken to the hospital for treatment of his infected knee. Jonathan accepted the recommendation and left on day 15. The two Micronesians who showed up at Airai brought fishing line, an extra machete, two knives, a fishing net, vegetables, fruit, and taught the castaways how to fish and hunt for crabs. At Malakal, Ami approached Tracy and Erik about forming an alliance with them after she felt that she could not trust Cirie. On Exile Island, Jason found the false Hidden Immunity Idol that Ozzy left. Airai continued their winning streak at the Immunity Challenge by using a strategy of carrying Eliza and Parvati on a single stepping pole instead of using both poles. After the Immunity Challenge, Chet told his tribe to vote him out because he had given up and had an injured vote. Erik and Tracy tried to convince Chet to help vote out Ozzy, but the tribe honored Chet's request and he was voted out 5-2.

This episode was very sad, seeing Jonathan go. I cried.... a little.... but i cried. ;D

Episode 7: Like a Wide-Eyed Kid in the Candy Store
Reward Challenge: Four members of each tribe would be blindfolded and would push a large money stone through a forest course while being verbally directed by the two other tribe members. Along the course, the money stones would crush four tiles that would reveal a of pair smaller money stones. Three tribe members would then use these eight stones to solve a rotating cog puzzle.
Reward: The winning tribe would be taken to an island where they would enjoy a spa and food.
Immunity Challenge: A tribe member would race across a floating bridge carrying one end of a rope. The rope would then be attached to a bundle of giant puzzle pieces. The rest of the tribe would turn a winch that would reel in the bundle and the tribe member back to the beach. Five bundles would need to be hauled to the beach in this manner. Two tribe members would then assemble the puzzle pieces.
At Malakal, Ozzy's defacto leadership and arrogance during a fishing excursion irked the women of the tribe. Airai's win streak was broken when Malakal won the Reward Challenge. They chose to send Jason back to Exile Island along with Tracy, who could not go on the spa trip with the rest of Malakal. On day 18, the constant rain, poor camp conditions, and feeling of missing her family was too much for Kathy to bear and she decided to quit the next morning. Jeff arrived at the Airai beach and took Kathy away at her request. At the Immunity Challenge, Ozzy and Erik gave Malakal a large lead during the first half of the challenge, but Eliza and Jason quickly assembled their puzzle and Airai won immunity for the third straight time. Ami came up with a complex plot where Ozzy would be blindsided at Tribal Council: Ami would convince Amanda and Cirie to vote for Erik and would tell the two women she would be voting with them. However, Ami would actually be voting with Tracy and Erik in voting out Ozzy. Ozzy would be voting out Tracy thinking everybody would be voting for Tracy. This would lead to Ozzy being voted out 3-2-1. At Tribal Council, the complex plot collapsed. The vote followed Fans vs. Favorites lines with Erik joining the Favorites and voting out Tracy 5-1.

Ummm have you been watching this season? Or have you SEEN Exile Island? Cirie is great at the game, which makes her enjoyable to watch. Not only that but shes funny as hell.

Her talking about Erik last episode and his love for Ozzy and the stardust comment. Holy crap! <3 Cirie.

[Andrew]

Cirie is a fucking goddess. She is probably one of the best game players ever and like Sandy said (no host anymore?) she makes it fun to watch.

And I agree with getting Amanda the hell out.

Haha, I decided to shorten the name up a tad ;-).

Yeah, I'm not hating on the casting crew or anything, but picking Amanda a second time was a boohoohoo mistake. I think she sucks. In her confessionals (both in China and this season) she talks like she's this brilliant gamer and has failed to impress me both times. Granted, there's still room for impressing this season so I'll wait and see. I still think she's gonna suck though .
