Re: Survivor: Island of the Idols

Yeah I like what they're doing, although I'm a boston Rob honk, so the more of him the better lol

I thought it was weird how the first person went in, with no chance to beat Rob in fire making, chose to try it, and Rob said "she didn't even try to make a deal".

What deal was available? The next girl that showed up didn't have to make a deal, the deal was presented to her after her indecision.

So which is it? You should barter or you should be indecisive?

It's them wanting to get that part of it into episode 2.

Re: Survivor: Island of the Idols

I think it'll vary.

But it's so unbalanced.

Challenge 1: Face off against a guy who lived on an island for over 100 days in a fire making challenge.

Challenge 2: Remember those stories they just told you? Get 3 of 5 questions right about them.

I think most would fare better in challenge 2. Unless of course you came into Survivor being a fire making expert, which is something we dont see as often anymore(since more people cast today are regular people rather than old school era where we saw more survival/outdoors type of people).

They probably didnt want to make it too easy so every person isn't guaranteed to win. But first one wasn't even close. First challenge though, no way anyone would or should assume if they said no, there'd be another deal.

I doubt the people would know, but Rob definitely said there would be an offer if they turned it down. It will be interesting to see what happens if people know to turn down the 1st offer.

I don't how people don't prepare themselves for the show. Even if you live in the city, you can go learn how to make fire. It's not like Big brother where they generally don't have a lot of time to prepare once they know they are selected or getting close to being selected.

The questions were too easy as I really wasn't paying attention and got all 3 right.

Re: Survivor: Island of the Idols

I think the offer is probably something like the challenge could be made easier for you, but if you lose, you lose your vote for 2 tribals.

Re: Survivor: Island of the Idols

my point is that both players were indecisive and Rob gave 2nd player a deal, and criticized 1st player for not making a deal.

2nd player didn't try to make a deal either, and she got one anyway, so...

Re: Survivor: Island of the Idols

So, I guess Jeff is done doing the "previously on Survivor" recaps?

Funniest moment of the season:
Rob: Where you from?
*Vince cries*
Rob: What? You don't know where you're from?

They've stopped for a while now. I think they only do it if they don't have enough shots for the episode.
