Did Survivor name a fan favorite at any point during the post-show? -- nm - David Dec 17, 12:21 42
- abi! -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 17, 12:25
- Nope. Not that it's hard to figure out who that would have been. -- nm - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 17, 12:25 40
  - Also - thoughts on next season? Looks like (spoils) - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 17, 12:26 17
    - I resent the way that the show is trying to kill people. -- nm - David Dec 17, 12:36 12
      - it *is* called Survivor. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 17, 12:48 3
        
        Yeah, but surviving the elements and the other people is one thing...dangerous challenges are something totally different, IMO anyway -- nm - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 17, 12:50 2
        
        I'm guessing they try these challenges out with people who are well fed and rested. Which isn't the case for the contestants. -- nm - lii3ou2lu8 Dec 17, 12:53
        
        i get that. - Landie Calrissian Dec 17, 12:53
      - yah, that was one reason I stopped watching. they'd had an increasing number of challenges where there was legit risk - bb.-8 Dec 17, 12:46 4
        
        They're going the wrong way. I'd have quit by now if Jim didn't need me to point out all the ways he's wrong about the show. -- nm - David Dec 17, 12:53 1
        
        we are all glad you are here to keep us in line. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 17, 12:56
        
        they need to go back to the old school. less reward challenges, more starvation -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 17, 12:48 1
        
        the near-starvation stuff was awful, though. it works when it's pushing limits but not outright uncomfortable for viewers. - bb.-8 Dec 17, 12:54
      - I agree. Like the challenge where Tasha almost drowned. Not because of her situation... - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 17, 12:37 2
        
        Yup. Also, it's kind of surprising that Tasha doesn't...float. - David Dec 17, 12:39 1
        
        Yeah, that was really scary - like Russell Swan scary. -- nm - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 17, 12:40
    - Spoils - Archer Dec 17, 12:36 3
      - Yeah, there's a little too much excitement over injuries and calling in the medical team. -- nm - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 17, 12:38 1
        
        Cuz they shouldn't call in the medical team as quickly as possible? -- nm - lii3ou2lu8 Dec 17, 12:46
      - better than puzzles -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 17, 12:36
  - Joe? - jar jar trump Dec 17, 12:26 21
    - Easily. Like, not even close. -- nm - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 17, 12:28 20
      - It's funny, because most of the cast clearly despised him. -- nm - David Dec 17, 12:33 18
        
        They despised him because was so good. -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 17, 12:36 15
        
        No. They found him boring and vapid and really bad at the game to boot. - David Dec 17, 12:37 14
        
        So... a James/Ozzy? -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 17, 12:39 13
        
        Both of them are better tacticians. He's actually Abi with a blank personality rather than a negative one. - David Dec 17, 12:41 6
        
        LOL, comparing his success in challenges vs. Abi. -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 17, 12:42 5
        
        Dude, without challenges, that pinhead shouldn't even get off the boat. - David Dec 17, 12:44 4
        
        Yeah, throwing out half of the game, he sucks. -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 17, 12:45 3
        
        I only threw out challenges. You're bad at math. -- nm - David Dec 17, 12:51 2
        
        Challenges are half the game. Social is the other half. - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 17, 12:54 1
        
        immunity idols are half the game. Challenges are but one way to gain those. -- nm - David Dec 17, 13:01
        
        He's better at the game than James and Ozzy. nm - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 17, 12:39 5
        
        Oh, Jim. -- nm - David Dec 17, 12:41 3
        
        He actually tried to make some friends out there. Both James and Ozzie - along with being physical threats were douchebags. - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 17, 12:43 2
        
        Good lord, Jim. You don't even pick the right guy crushes on Survivor. -- nm - David Dec 17, 12:45 1
        
        I don't have a guy crush on Joe. I'm not even saying he's a good player. I'm just saying he's way better than Ozzy. - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 17, 12:51
        
        I agree, but I'm not sure David does. -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 17, 12:41
        
        Which is also funny considering how his other cast all loved him. -- nm - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 17, 12:36 1
        
        I'm sure that comes down to a cast that cared less about Survivor opposed to one comprised of zealots. - David Dec 17, 12:38
      - eh, he's like Ozzie - jar jar trump Dec 17, 12:32
Every time I've driven by here I wondered what kind of reptiles they carry...BIG ones :) -- (link) - Meg Dec 17, 12:20 7
- huh, fires seem to be fairly common (relatively) for stores with reptiles. -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 17, 12:24 5
  - I'm guessing they have a lot of cage heaters - like aquariums but with no water to offset them. - Meg Dec 17, 12:30 2
    - Yep, heating pads/rocks/lights, plus the bedding which can be paper or wood shavings and the dust that comes with it = fire hazard. -- nm - TWuGbacca Dec 17, 12:44
    - right, I understand why there's risk; but to not better address it at this point seems pretty bad. -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 17, 12:35
  - It's because they can't read the No Smoking signs. - Max Rebo Dec 17, 12:28
  - Here there be dragons. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 17, 12:25
- *runs out screaming, passes out* -- nm - Heroic PeeWee si Dec 17, 12:24

- I'm going to Malaysia next month and already looking forward to the curries. -- nm - ty97 Dec 17, 12:33
- Ugh, with the curry again. --nm - Archer Dec 17, 12:16
- No, he rocks -- nm - amoxy Dec 17, 12:13 2
  - heh, that was my first thought; but he did use lower-case, so I gave him a break. :) - -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 17, 12:13
  - He is *sick*. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 17, 12:13
- I make it every Christmas eve like my aunt did. Shrimp and chicken curry over white rice. So damn good -- nm - CQ Dec 17, 12:12 2
  - hmm..that sounds great. -- nm - R2-Deev2 Dec 17, 12:13 1
    - right? I want some right now. -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 17, 12:14
- *shrug* more for me. -- nm - znufrii Dec 17, 12:11
- I don't get anyone dismissing all curry, there's such variety. -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 17, 12:11
- I despise it so much. The smell of it makes me ill. - Krusty Dec 17, 12:09 3
  - you can go sit in the corner with ML and have a timeout -- nm - decline Dec 17, 12:10 2
    - At least our corner won't have an awful stink of curry. -- nm - Krusty Dec 17, 12:12 1
      - Yes. -- nm - ML Galaxy Dec 17, 12:18
