Survivor Gabon - 10/02 Show

jackie's tv blog, survivor

Okay, Survivor fans and those in the pool ... the show has started here on the East Coast. I won't be live-blogging it per se, but I will update this on and off with important events and/or some thoughts of mine. As always, everyone is welcome to chat it up in comments!

Wow, that rewards challenge was brutal ... and Fang actually won! They're sending Sugar to Exile Island.

That seems to be the wrong choice ... she's found four clues and has it!

Yikes, Fang won Immunity!

Paloma is out, Sugar didn't use her (and Ace's evidently) idol.

Hey all,
I was on vacation last week but did get a chance to check out Survivor. Have to admit, when I got home and saw which survivor was my pick-- Matty Whitmore--I didn't remember him! Which I am taking as a good sign that he may last a while since he didn't stand out yet. Good Luck to everyone tonight.

C'mon in Petals, the water's fiiiiine.


Is your suit leopard like Sugars? I know you don't love her but I do love her leopard outfits

Looks like Fang is going down the same path tonight. ugh

Syd - since finding out that I am assigned to Miss Sugar, I've grown a slight fondness for her open Betty Page-esque manner.

Can I just say that I'm so HAPPY that it's that Survivor time of year? woo weeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Petals said...

Nancy - haha! Getting on your own nerves. I'm Sugar, and I'm sweet on myself!

Petals said...

There are some cute boys this season...

Sydney said...

I thought you might come to like that in her. I know I do. However, I don't like that Project Runway chick who has a different version of the same thing.

Petals said...

Charlie is loving this!

ooohhhhh sorry sugar....find the idol!

Sydney said...

I know, I love Bob, and that was a nice comeback from Sugar.

monty924 said...

Wow, I've never rooted so hard for a Survivor team to win. That challenge was awesome.

And, Sugar goes to exile. What will she pick, the clue or the apple? I say the clue and she finds it, the idol. Just guessing.

Laurie said...

I'm in my teeny-weeny bikini and jumping in the pool feet first. Funny thing, it's still warm enough here in San Diego to be in a pool.

Sydney, how's our Olympic gal doing tonight?

I had to laugh at the order of these next postings.

Petals said: "wooHOO! Got on my bathin' suit for the Survivor pool!"

Very next post, Sydney said: "Hey! A baby hippo! Don't see that everyday."

I nearly spit out my iced tea on that one. Timing is everything.

My mom agrees. She said she felt sorry for the guy who's ribs were sticking out.

joy n said...

Sydney, yes, Terry in CA and I share Dan.

Sydney said...

I/m so glad they finally won something. I have no faves in terms of tribe yet, btu I hate it when only one team always wins as a viewer.....

Sydney said...

Ace is somehow making everyone think that was all good? Boy, he's good.

monty924 said...

Paloma agrees with me... heh

Petals said...

Ants love sugar. THey're sweet onher. Oh, and SO IS ACE, in case you guys havent noticed. He hangs all over us!

Delee said...

I am sure all are surrounded by armed guards and tribal people. Plus I am sure they are not near well-travelled animal trails.

Poor Sugar and the ants...yuck!

Unknown said...

Okay, because apparently I'm the porn queen of this blog who always knows where to find the naked people (what does that say about me??), I have here a little video for you all that wanted a good view of Marcus. It's slow-mo and set to some hysterical music!

WARNING: it's posted on a website that features links to gay porn and some questionable language. If that offends you, don't go there!

Just put your hand up to block the left side of your screen and scroll quickly down to the first video (with the little picture of the devil) :)

Watch out guys... we're gonna get the idol!

monty924 said...

Our first tears from Sugar. Why don't they just swim across the lake.... nevermind, she found the crater.

Delee said...

LOL Clementine can not wait to see it as I did not see anything on the others.

WOOOOHOOOO!!!!! Victory is SWEET as SUGAR!

Sydney said...

Somehow I knew she'd find the idol... question is, says my husband, will she go back and tell ACe?

Sydney said...

Melissa, she wore it to Africa

Melissa said...

right but in the search for the idol, it seemes like she had 2 sets of clothes on.

Delee said...

Lets just hope she plays it when she SHOULD play it.

monty924 said...

Good question Sydney's hubby.

joy n said...

Dan is my poolboy lawyer (or half of him is) and I have to say I'm embarrassed for him not finding the idol last week when Sugar just made it look easy. She deserves the idol.

Good call, Monty!

That was a great episode. More editing designed to make you think Ace was going home.

Nancy's on banans patrol.

Glad you're still in the game girrrrl (as Ace)

i'm dissapointed sarah wore so much black

she always sounds like she comes from chicago (don't take offense..i love that mid-western accent)

this could get nasty

Sydney said...

Hi Nancy--!

Sydney said...

The woman who is questioning these two VP's is writing a favorable book about Obama and it drops tomorrow.

OK, as a stylist I will say Palin's outfit is terriffic and fits her like a dream, but I think it;'s a little too tight for the office. Hair got highlighted with just a little gold, blonde, after lightening the base to a more chestnutty color. Make up is fab. And they may have added a little hairpiece in the back.

Byden, nice tie, matches his eyes.

Ok, I'm trying to stay away from the politics, lol.

Gayle said...

I live in Chicago and she always sounds like she's talking in circles and saying NOTHING! Just like some fast talking slicksters I know in Chicago! They tell little friendly stories to get you off your guard and NEVER get to the point or answer the question.

Sydney said...

HI Gayle --

Palin is sounding very confident again. It would have been painful to see that Couric interview Palin in this hour. Biden is not being long winded either. Seemshe coaching worked on both sides.

Sydney said...

Is it my high def TC or is Biden's coloring suddenly off? It looks like his cheeks and forehead are both flushed in some spots and pale green in other spots, like right in the middle of her forehead. Gawd, I hope he doesn't collapes.

Gayle said...

I am not a Palin fan.

i like bidens tie....not so sure the lenders were 100% at fault.. yes, they should have not allowed these mortgages...but people have to get some common sense about them and be able to figure out what they can and cannot afford...just a thought

Laurie said...

I'm watching the debate. Sydney, when I first saw Palin tonight I was trying to figure out what was different. Thanks for letting us know. As an aside, that hair in her eyes bugs me!

I won't get political, just want to say it's nice to be a part of history and be able to watch this. I'm old enough to remember the last time this happened!

Unknown said...

Sydney: Palin's makeup does look great!

I like that they are looking at each other and making some connection (unlike the Obama/McCain debate).

Taking health benefits! Ugh!

Sydney said...

Palin just said Barak Obama and Joe Biden xyz. That's interesting because the press were speculating that she might be coached to not ever say their names, but just call them my (or our) opponent.

Gayle said...

I don't have the converter box attached to the TV so I am not seeing the clarity I would see with it - he looks just a little pink. Probably trying to control his mouth! They were both coached and are trying to be mindful of it.

Anonymous said...

sydney... LOVE how you can pinpoint the style of it all!!!

gayle...i was referring to sarahs accent..not what she was or was not saying. i love that midwestern accent

sydney, biden just looks a little pale and gaunt on my tv...

Gayle said...

They told her not to attack them personally. She made an age snide remark against Biden earlier in the week.

Unknown said...

Oops, I meant "Taxing health benefits! Ugh!"

I don't want to have to purchase my own health care benefits, when we're in a recession! How many people would give them up to save money (well, more than happens now!)

I have to research this more, because Biden is losing me.

Sydney said...

I just can't get past it. The little looks, the things people are saying make her so "down to earth" or relatable... they just don't strike me as Presidential, or Vice Presidential.


Clem, I know. As much as I admire some of the things McCain has done in his life and career, I really was disappointed when he refused to look at his opponent.

Anonymous said...

YAWN..........their both a little dry....

Sydney said...

Gayle, I remember that, and then Couric pointed out her running mate was the same age! That was such a torturous interview!

Anonymous said...

oohhh...shes getting a little feisty...

looks like bidens been coached to look at her an smile when she takes on her point

Unknown said...

She overuses the colloquilisms. Up 'thar in Alaska! She would be more effective if she said it straight.

Sydney said...

She is far more effective when she drops that smiley winky thing. She has delivered a few sentances with a serious look and sound and I just feel if she did that more she'd be far more of a true power.

OOh she made a good point about the energy thing, but then Biden made a decent save in his comeback.

Gayle said...

Nancy, I agree with you - they are a little dry. They're trying too hard to be mindful of each other.

Sydney said...

smile -- both with blindingly white teeth...not my fave trend.

Anonymous said...

i'm getting a little tired hearing about hockey moms too...she needs another expression

wonder if biden could do something about the bags under his eyes

Sydney said...

Since Biden was named VP, each time I've seen him speak, I get the feeling he forgets he's not running for Prez as he had hoped. He almost forgets to mention Barak.

Creepy smile at Palin.... My eyes! My eyes!

i would like to see america producing a lot more of its own oil

Sydney said...

Here's the climate factors question.

Unknown said...

How could bankruptcy courts lower the principal owed on mortgages? Who would make up the difference?

She's obviously more knowledgeable on energy than any other topic. When she can speak with confidence, she's much more effective.

Anonymous said...

i agree sydney....biden acts more as if he thinks he is running for prez...not mentioning BO too much in compar. to palin mentioning mccain

Gayle said...

Sydney, this debate is crucial for her. Some are calling for her to step down as she is not seen as a serious, knowledgeable candidate. They have really been working hard with her to help prepare her for this debate.

Sydney said...

Palin is stumbling over the answer. It doesn't sound like HER answer. It was an important question for her to answer and she isn't comfortable with it. What pressure. I would not want to be doing this.

Let's see how Biden does.... Good, believable, strong answer. The sad thing is, no matter how they both answer any question, I don't know that I can believe what either party or candidate can do once in office.

uummmm....i don't see china giving a flying hoot about how much they pollute

Sydney said...

ooh, the same sex benefits question. I am interested to hear what is said...

Unknown said...

Back to the fashion critique... her glasses are also very flattering.

Sydney said...

Ok, Palin was truthful about her non support of gay marriage, I am surprised to hear Biden say neither he or Obama believe in it either. Hmm.

Anonymous said...

i said i couldn't take being on survivor....whew...i def could not take this pressure! its official...i am the bloggers biggest wimp

Gayle said...

Biden has been warned about being condescending and talking too much. He is to be respectful to her!

Sydney said...

lol about drill baby!

Sydney said...

oh a classy looking hit -- On withdrawl, Pailn says she respected Biden for telling Obama off about an opinion he had (or a vote). he must have said soemthing in the early Dem nom debates and that's that backhanded compliment.

And he just ignored it, didn't get defensive or blanch, just said I didn't hear a plan in that (as that was the question).

Debate is not bad so far

Anonymous said...

i think they were both a bit uneasy about the gay issue

iraq....they both seem to have the same plan......gradually withdrawl the troops......i guess its just the timeline

Unknown said...

Are we really spending 10 billion a month in Iraq?

Whoever said Biden was coached to show amusement when she was talking was right.

Anonymous said...

bidens eyelids as white as his teeth

Sydney said...

oh, she is hitting biden over this troops thing, and she looks confident and strong right now and he is smiling with those hideous overly large overly white teeth and unfortunately it is making it clear she is getting to him.

Sydney said...

But he hits back with some McCain vs. Barak facts... and, on to a new question.

Sydney said...

Lol Nancy -- eyelids not being the same color as the face or shiny are a pet peeve of mine. I always made sure to match that on the guy clients I did make up on!

Unknown said...

Sydney: maybe you know this, are there better teeth whitening methods that don't give that glow-in-the-dark look on tv?

Anonymous said...

bidens doing pretty good with his terrorism launch...

Gayle said...

Can you imagine having had to commit all of those facts into a working memory in such a short amount of time? I know I wouldn't have been able to do it, but I'm still not a fan!

Sydney said...

Clem, if it's amusement he's trying to show, then it's prolly not any more effective than McCain's try at making Obama look like a youngin' when he kept saying "you just don't know, you just don't know anything" (paraphrasing). It is supposed to show the other person up but I think it's far too risky and makes the one doing it look bad. I prefer straight classy. I do think Barak showed that in his debate... looking at McCain, going to him to shake his hand, going over after the debate with his wife to McCain and his wife, and pretty much keeping his cool thru the entire thing.

Anonymous said...

i do find it annoying that we (america) are a little too "friendly" with those that are VERY open about their hatred of us

Sydney said...

I also would have put as much make up on Palin's chest freckles as on her face. That is another oft forgotten mismatch on TV. Remember Shelia from BB?

Let that be a lesson to all of us! lol

Gayle said...

Clementine, probably the teeth whitener the dentists use is more natural looking. They also have the expertise in using it so that your teeth whiten and look natural.

Sydney said...

both are taking stuff out of context.

Oh well, I guess that's politics. Here I am focusing on the external to not get into too much of the politics, but it seems these debates really are more for us to get a little look at the candidates as the y talk, walk and breathe (external) more than to really get a sense of any true policies or plans.

sigh

sydney...i wish you could come show me the best way to do my makeup!!

my hubby just said he cansee palins panty-line in her skirt

Sydney said...

Augh, I just didn't like that whole delivery of that looking backward thing... and I 'm glad we agree on Israel. IF she says I respect you to Biden one more time. Delivering all that with that ironic little smile, I'm amazed it wasn't followed by Nah na na na nah!

Anonymous said...

good for sarah to say that this regime has made mistakes...

smart comment to tell biden their continuing to look back prevents them to look ahead to change...

Sydney said...

NANCY -- be happy to! VPL! visible panty line? I was thinking it would be a sure bet that spanx were under there or support hose with kind of the panty part woven in.

Unknown said...

Chest freckles! One of the many risks of appearing in high-def, lol

His smile is getting very smirky

There were definitely some points she should have countered, but not having the foreign-policy experience, she's sticking to her script

And Biden is surprising staying on script, too.

Diplomacy? what's that? Oh, yeah, something that we last saw in the Clinton administration. Better polish it up, it's very rusty.
