i watched like 15 mins of the first ep and it seem **** so i turned it off :3

The first episode is godawful, but it get a lot better afterwards. Especially after the merge. Its nowhere as good as the US Survivor, but still entertaining.

I'm actually finding it as good as the current Survivor US season if not a bit better. Survivor US isn't what it used to be.:nono:

I watched episode 13 last night and it was pretty good again. Marian returned for tribal (as she's the first jury member) and she scrubs up surprisingly well. Although i hated her sometimes in the game i can't help liking her for some unknown reason.
I do love her ridiculously strong South African accent too. I lived in South Africa when i was a kid so i'm partial to a good SA accent!:hugesmile:

Another good SSA episode this week and a good twist at tribal too!
Marian cracks me up. She looks like she's having as much fun sitting in on the tribals now she's been evicted as she did playing the game.:hugesmile:

David continues his role as the evil South African goblin too! It's quite amazing that he's lasted this long.:hugesmile:

I caught up to Episode 12 and I only started watching on Monday!

If I was Solly/Buhle/Vel, I would've voted off Marion and Shane (or simply just two from the Utara alliance) and then at F9 they could've joined forces with the remaining two outcasts and have majority over the selatan alliance of 4, and then at F5 they would outnumber the two outcasts 3v2. Unfortunately they don't seem to be thinking that far ahead and are settling for jury at the moment.

Ok so I've caught up on all the episodes and the only people left that I'm rooting for are Buhle and Altaar. I find this new male alliance to be pretty awful and frustrating to watch. I'm surprised Buhle is the last woman standing, but then again she is quite weak so she isn't seen as a major threat.

I can't stand anyone in the new male alliance. I hope Zavion is the one they were plotting against in next weeks preview... Him and Shane are so annoying.

So there's like 1 woman and 10 men? Noty

Graham is knocking out his allies left and right. Not sure how I feel about that. They might be to bitter to ever vote for him.

It's one woman and 6 men. But it's basically 5 guys vs this one guy and this one woman, but the two outcasts don't realise that the 5 guys are in an alliance.

You should watch it, you'd love the female villain, but I personally can't stand her.

Are you referring to Marian ?
I detested her at one point but her outright wickedness has grown on me and i'm even bordering on finding her rather attractive these days!:shrug:

I hated her and Shane together and all that idol shenanigans was really poor form though.:nono:
I loved it when that crazy blonde woman tried to pull a fast one with David the Evil Goblin's idol and it blew up in her face at tribal!!! :hugesmile: One of my favorite episodes of the whole season. Karma in full effect!

^Yeah, I reckon I would've rooted for her villainous character if she wasn't alligned with Shane. And episode 5 might be the most dramatic episode in Survivor history!!! I liked Shona but when she tried to steal David's idol I went off of her a bit.

haha David is awesome!

His line from this episode was a classic. "She is laying in the arms of her betrayer" hahah

David is well amusing. He loves his dramatic one-liners and such like!!!:hugesmile:
As every episode passes he increases his tagged-on smatterings of Afrikaans rantings on the end of lines of English. Probaly swearing in Afrikaans!
I recognized a few of the words he's used but it's been a loooooong time since i lived in South Africa so most of them are foreign to me.

I was laughing hard in the episode where they won the poolside barbeque (courtesy of 'Hunters Dry'!) and they went crazy!!!:dance:
They called it a Braai though (pronounced 'Bri' or 'Bry') which is basically the number one Afrikaans leisure activity. It's basically their version of a BBQ but much more 'manly' and South African with large slabs of t-bone steak, chops and Boerewors (a large SA Sausage containing mostly beef) and various other things thrown on and it's usually cooked to within an inch of its life! Brings back great memories for me.........gathered around the pool with the Braai blazing, smell of MEAT in the air and the sun blazing down! Those were the days!!!:thumbs:

I'm quite hungry now.........:hugesmile:

Wow @ Shane leaving. He should've played one of his idols, he was crazy not to. Shame as I was just warming to him and I really want Zavion gone.

What the hell @ Altaar doing a random vote for Buhle tho...

Something is wrong with that dude. This is what the third time he has cast a weird vote? Its no wonder Graham doesn't trust him.

And why does he always sign his vote off with B-P (I think that's what it is) cos then everyone knows that it's his vote :conf:

Yeah, Shane got far too over-confident in his safety there and it bit him in the ass big-time! Great blindside though.:thumbs:
I 'think' Altaar is trying to not be part of votes that evict people so that he stands a better chance of getting their votes if he's there at the end. Pretty stupid tactic though!

I thought Sivu's immunity challenge win was pretty awesome though, the three of them hanging off one peg..........and crazy Dave describing him as looking like 'stretched liquorice' was quite amusing too!:hugesmile:

I'm so sick of Zavion now! Wish he would go home already! I hate how the challenges are so easy that he can just win them all easily.

Yay @ Sivu having an idol. Hope it doesn't get stolen before the next TC, since that's the last time an idol can be played. I hope he uses it to better himself and Buhle in the game (getting rid of Zavion or Graham would be the best choice). I'm glad Altaaf's gone, but would've preferred it to be Zavion.

Rooting for Buhle, Sivu and David. I just don't want Zavion or Graham to win (which I don't think they will since the jury doesn't seem to like them that much).

Yeah, i found him really irritating in the early episodes but then he started to figure out people were getting fed up of him and he calmed himself down a bit but now there's les people and he can smell the final he just can't help himself and his irritation level has climbed right up there!
I think the defining moment in the game for him (when the others got worried by him) was when he carried Solly like a backpack in that one challenge.:hugesmile:

I reckon he's probably even more irritating in the real World. He's a wedding planner isn't he so i can just imagine him pointing everywhere and ordering his minions around.

They can't make it anymore obvious that Zavion is going to win. He even gets special music. WTF

Yeah, he's getting really irritating now!:bored:
I was intrigued by the clip of next week's episode though where David and someone else where discussing the fact that Zavion has been 'cheating' :conf:

Not really sure how you can cheat at Survivor but if it screws his game up it'll be great!

I'm liking Sivu more with every episode. He seems like a very sincere and good guy. It was great to see how he was with his mother too.
I like Buhle a lot too and David deserves major props just for lasting this long when it looked like he was screwed from the very first episode. He's outlasted a lot of the people who were calling him a terrible player (Shane in particular).

I downloaded the whole of Seasons 1 & 2 the other day but i haven't started watching them properly yet. There's a different host on them which is kinda' weird.

I'm friends with Marian on Facebook now too!:hugesmile:
I hated her up to a certain point but then i started to really like her and i love how much she even seems to be loving being on the Jury at the tribals.
She scrubs up rather well too. Here's a couple of pics from her FB page;

I just watched the newest episode (16) and really enjoyed it!!!
Great episode but i won't go into detail just in case you guys haven't seen yet. Not many episodes left now, 2 probably or maybe one double episode or something.

I'm rooting for one guy in particular now!:thumbs:

OMG BEST EPISODE EVER!

Zavion's blindside!!!! :OOOOOOO
