ok kids, it's SURVIVOR time!!!!

8 years ago

Finally! I so hope this is a good season. It's such a tradition with DH and our grown kids. We txt each other while "watching" together. It never fails, every year, at some point, my son will txt saying "if that person wins I am never watching this again", hahaha. We actually wait for it.

DH will send a mass txt "come on in guys!" right before a challenge. So funny.

Daughter said we should all pick who we think is going to win after the first night. Each of us throw some money in the pot. If none of our chosen wins, then we go out to dinner together or just have a party together on the survivor pot.

The ones who go home first are either annoying or too bossy/take charge. My son sent me this:

"I'm listening to a podcast where they talked with the survivors when they
were at Ponderosa before the game started. They aren't allowed to talk to each
other, and are all trying to learn/make choices by other people's body language,
etc."

"Everyone things Ashley (professional lifesaver), on the Heroes tribe is a
grouchy, grumpy person, even though she was great in the interview. It will be
interesting to see if she can overcome the handicap."

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know it was coming on tonight. Cute ideas your family has.

My son watches Survivor, too, but half the time he's watching the next day, so we can't do the text thing. And my other Survivor friends are in other time zones, so I can't say much more than "Must watch!" and not give spoilers.

Some seasons are better than others, but we still like the character development of these people, every season.

Wine in my Roast -- ok for kids?
Q
Comments (20)
I'm one of the few who doesn't like wine, no matter how hard I've tried to like it, so I don't cook with it and it's not an issue, beer either. The amount of alcohol a child would get in a roast cooked with wine is negligible, a far greater risk is having the bottle accessible to small children. An eight year old would/should know better, but we had a toddler in this county nearly die of alcohol poisoning when she found a bottle of some fruit flavored liquor and drank it. Their much smaller body weights don't allow their bodies to tolerate very much higher proof alcohol. So, go ahead and cook with it, but keep it out of the kids' reach. Frankly, there's probably more alcohol in the hand sanitizer or Nyquil that children use than there is in the bit of gravy on that roast, but whether or not to allow your child even that much alcohol is a personal choice that only a parent has the right to make, no matter if anyone else thinks it's silly or not.

Hi Kimmie, I hope you don't take offense when not many people answer your posts. It isn't a very busy place. I guess we're all freaking out in the corner somewhere, with our migraines, bleeding, backaches, toothaches, irritable moods.......hahaha....or with our thinking problems, we sometimes forget how to get back here! ;) How did your doctor visit go? I know when my uterus is full, my back, lower abdomen and legs hurt. Sometimes, in perimenopause, our uteruses get too thick, but don't shed, and that can lead to lots of spotting, heavy bleeding, and a heavy lower abdomen. I always would get sciatica in my leg, when my uterus was full! Perimenopause can be quite a challenge for some of us. I'm 56 and haven't had a period for about 2 years. YAY! My life has settled down tremendously, now that those hormones aren't fluctuating all over the place. But.....my ovaries are still tormenting me. I even spent Christmas day in the ER! ......had really bad ovary pain. Anyhow.....don't be shy to come here and talk. Just give everyone a while to find your posts. Let us know how the doctor visit went!

What, no Survivor thread? (Spoilers if you DVRd it)
Q

Sushipup, I watched it, on your recommendation, but the only thing that stood out was the impetus for going straight to the elimination from the challenge. Is there something in particular you were pointing out? I have to admit, I don't remember half of these people, and half of the ones I do remember, I recognize, but would not have remembered if they weren't on screen. I guess I find the game overall more interesting than the people, who, for the most part, seem to be interchangeable puppets, typecast from the casting manual. :) It's a lot like watching one of those banned psych experiments, with palm trees. :) When I was looking for a list of participants, I found another blog where the writer was at the site while they were filming or something. He interviewed Vytas, who said that the whole creepy yoga thing happened when he was asked to help one of the girls who had a bad back. I seem to remember that he's a long time professional yoga instructor, so that makes sense. The blog also said that Peih-Gee sewd a flint into her outfit as a decorative element, got all the way out there, but when she went to use it that first day, the production crew stopped her and confiscated it.

Aw, I really like her a lot more after watching the Ponderosa interview! Wasn't a big fan of her in the game. So glad she feels like she's won more than a million $ in becoming a better mom. : ) That said, I was really hoping they'd take the dictator out! lol Kinda glad Elizabeth was getting on people's nerves otherwise Christian might've been the vote! This is the first time ever I think that I've been able to distinguish the 2 original tribes and members.

I agree sushi. Well, we all made our picks. The back and forth was hilarious. Daughter missed the last few min. So of course we told her her pick was voted off. Lol. Future son in law said he had to do bio research and would let us know before next episode, um, nope! Haha.

It's hard to pick someone when you don't even get to hear from all of them. I did say I had a back up pick but somehow that didn't fly. Haha I won't tell our picks til everyone has had a chance to watch.

Anyone else want make a pick after watching the first episode only?

Dog gone I hate this dish TV remote here. I set it to record and it didn't work. So I missed it. I did see Blacklist however. Maybe I can see it online.

Great start to the season and good mix of people.

Couldn't believe the strip search, I think that was a first. I don't have a pick yet, but I was happy to see the previews next week show a new alliance forming.

Dalton is right on about the editing (towards the 4/5 page of the recap.) It was annoying last night, but I understand why it was done. I just don't like it when so misleading.

More from my son:

One of my podcasters just did a fantastic 5 part podcast about
Survivor called First One Out.

He talked with the woman who was FOO in season 1, and with others as well,
then he interviewed everyone on this season of survivor.

Some quick bits:

Turns out that Ali and Patrick know each other from college. Friendly but
not friends.

Katrina was seen as aggressive and pushy, and at the ponderosa before the
show she made some odd fashion choices that made her stand out in a bad
way.

The ponderosa is a 1 hour boat ride from the tribe beaches

Ryan picked Roark from the healers tribe to get the immunity idol, had
healers lost

This is from his interview with Katrina after her boot from the
tribe:

Did I read correctly that this was filmed in March 2016? Imagine having to wait 18 months to become a millionaire for the winner. Maybe it was a typo and he meant March 2017? And yes, the editing left a lot to be desired. I just didn't understand Chrissy's motivation with the super-idol. I thought for sure she would save Katrina. But then who would be eliminated? I missed that part. Obviously one of the power 4, but how would that happen? Would they revote, with Chrissy and Katrina not included in the vote? And Alan!!! Dude is seriously paranoid. His eyes are so creepy, the way they bug out. I think the lack of food is already getting to him. I'm going to have to miss the next two weeks, since I'll be in Paris, boo, but someone's gotta do it, ha ha.

sushipup....I appreciate the info! I'll have to watch Ashley. :0)

Chrissy: Not using the idol to save her "friend"/Katrina, at first did not make sense, until you realize that she voted with the tribe and now may have alliances that will take her through the entire game. I would have a hard time playing this game IF I were THERE...in it.

It's off to a good start!

Watched last night. Trying to get hubby hooked so he'll watch with me. He's not a fan. :(

I was so happy they were all new players too. I hate when they mix in one or two former players but I like if the show is all former players.

The NFL guy's eyes were creeping me out. I think he's a loose canon trying to pretend he's just playing. We'll see.

Looking forward to this season!

The NFL guy seems unhinged. I expected the older woman to give it to Katrina although later she can use bragging rights about this to form new alliances.(Unless she can't mention it?)

ok kids, it's SURVIVOR time!!!!
