Nope...I'm on the same page as you

She is kind of cute and a little ditzy, but not much else. Apart of being dumb.

I think the liking effect comes from the fact that Brawn tribe is generally quite... unlikable. And she sticks out like a sore thumb.

+1 :thumbs:

Alecia not knowing what her season is even called :joker:

:laugh2:

Completely bonkers.

But in a good way atm. As long as she keeps it Shirin, i´m okay with it.

Lmfao love her :love: hope she lasts long

Well, technically she is correct. It is filmed in Cambodia. Just in a different part than the last one.

She probably couldn´t pronounce the name or didn´t like to Koh Rong.

I wonder if she thinks Cambodia = Sexy.

Apparently the medical team put liquid on Jennifer´s ear to make the bug come out. I would have liked that to be shown, cause the edit i saw made it like it just magically decided to come out, because they all gathered together around Jennifer.

I thought it was strange that they managed to get an extreme close up of her ear just as the bug was coming out :laugh:

They must've told her to lie down while they put liquid in and filmed it

:joker:

(I did find it funny that when everyone was crowded around Jennifer waiting for the bug to come out, nobody was doing anything except Cydney, who was shouting "EW! EW! EW!" on a loop - so very helpful)

She's not a good game player but I think she's going to be fantastic tv from a trainwreck perspective.

Alecia is very promising. Trainwreck potential for sure. Also ditzy = funny usually, and I thought she was pretty funny this episode. :joker: I don't really know how Survivor works exactly so I'm not sure how she'll do game-wise.

Not a bad episode
Tai, Alecia and Aubry :love: I didn't mind Caleb either

can i say that i respect Joe, he's 72 i admire him for his age to compete in Survivor


my favourites are Joe, Kyle and Julia

So is every episode of Survivor already pre-recorded before the season or is it going on now like Big Brother would?

And something that confused me... when it went to a tie-breaker in the vote, why would people not keep their original votes? I thought it'd go 2-2... if that did happen, what happens when there's another tie?

This season was recorded in April 2015 :laugh:

If it ties again then they go to rock draws to determine who goes (but the players involved in the tie are immune)

They are usually recorded months before the airing, except in this case, which was recorded before the last season meaning it´s almost a year old.

If there is a another tie, the two players that have got the votes are safe and the remaining ones draw rocks out of a bag and then they reveal them when Jeff gives permission. The one who has a rock of a designated color that is different from the other ones (ie: black or red as opposed to others having blue/green) gets eliminated.

Meaning it´s a random elimination.

Oh ok that makes a lot more sense then. Thanks @ both. :clap1:

A few more questions for anyone willing to answer them for me:

Do they have time to discuss things in between the votes?

And some more general questions about the Survivor format:
How long does tribe vs. tribe vs. tribe last? How do the competitions work when that ends?
I know Survivor has a jury too but how does it compare to the BB one / how many are in it?
I've heard a lot about the immunity idol(s) but how many in a season and how exactly do they work? I know it basically saves them but then what happens after that if they were supposed to go.. next highest number of votes is out?

Also if it's recorded months / a year before how do they prevent spoilers / full results being known (or do they not prevent them at all and you can actually find spoilers easily? :joker:)


I should probably just do some research on Survivor but I'm way too lazy. :joker:

I feel like Alecia could end up being amazing, still can't believe she actually stayed

Dying @ "never said I did, never said I didn't ;)" when asked if she had the idol

I'll have a go, don't take my word on everything, though...

a) They often get time to talk strategy after the immunity comp but sometimes they're called to tribal straight away without having time to strategise - I don't think they're allowed to discuss anything on the way to and from cmps
b) It depends, i.e. on how many tribes there are to begin with, whether there are any tribe dissolves/switches etc, but it tends to last for a few rounds before we get a switch and then the merge - in the last Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty, there were four rounds like this before the tribe switch
c) That also depends on the number of contestants per season, but it works fairly similarly to BB - mind you, there are often three finalists instead of two and the jurors attend tribal councils after they're voted out
d) I'm not sure exactly how many idols there are in a season, but I do know that they're being relied on a lot more heavily and some think they spoil the game. Say someone with 8 votes cast against them saved themselves with an idol, the other person with 4 votes would be eliminated and it'd be 4-0
e) I'm sure you can find spoilers if you look hard enough... or not that hard (for example, I know Cambodia's first boot kinda spoiled things when they were spotted back in the US whilst the show was still filming)

The HII numbers are real ****ing shady and constantly changing, but I think the usual rule of thumb is that there's one hidden at each tribe, and often once they get played they get rehidden :rolleyes: I'm so over HIIs, they just need to go away for good

I agree they should sack it, there's nothing fresh or exciting about it anymore

Not to mention that every winner lately has a Heroic Idol Find scene that takes up a full 20 minutes of the episode and is completely nauseating.
