I was SOOO Happy with the winner!!!

I was shocked that the 2nd place guy got so many votes.  Not shocked about the 3rd place guy.

(can we start using names yet?)

I watched almost every episode. I enjoyed it this season, but it had some moments.

Hubby and I watched 5 episodes in a row yesterday, and the finale and reunion shows tonight.

As always, I find it extremely fascinating and exciting and fun and we really enjoyed it. 

I suppose it's safe to talk about it... I'm probably the only one who hadn't finished!  

Rats, I missed the first show. I'm rooting for Jimmy Johnson because he's an ex football coach.

Really? He irritated the crap out of me! Typical bombastic sports dude leader. Are they so lacking in leadership skills they'd keep a really old guy around just to tell them what to do?

And the two blond women just seem too much like "nice" southern gals. You have to be political and savvy and a bit bloodthirsty int hsi game especially when you'r eup against that young group.

But okay, how about the young black woman? Seriously. She has got to go.

I like Jane and Jill and Yve... Jill especially.  Marty is a megalomaniac, isn't he?  Does he normalize in Episode 4 or something? 

I also wonder if Coach was more feeble than what they showed on the show... I was shocked that he was voted out almost unanimously.  which seemed to me to be an outrageously dumb move.

I still think they're all toast except maybe for Marty and Tyrone. The women are really not very bright and Dan's a mess physically.

They're mixing up this week.  

I think they had too many loopy oldsters.  Are we really that feebleminded?? 

I don't know what to think except the oldsters are toast.

I don't like it as well with only 1 challenge per show.

And I'm glad they're mixing up the teams, because the oldies were getting the butts whipped... and it wasn't going to get ANY better with no food.

I havent got to it yet.  But I think you're either into it, or you aren't.

My wife gave up after #2 saying it was boring. Was ep 3 any better?

We watched 1 & 2 last night.  I love this show.  So surprised by the Young vs Old!

And at first we were rolling our eyes at how the show seems to love Jimmy Johnson, but after a while, I really just wanted to hear what he had to say about everything that was going on.

All our takes on the younger tribe, especially tribal counsel: "Jr high drama!"

I'm trying to not be all, "OMG that BLACK girl!" but... OMG, that black girl!!

And I was ranting my usual "don't vote off your strong males!" until he started the crazy bigotmouth crap.  whooboy I'll take that inner city attitude over that bs! 

Isn't this a bit of a silly, arrogent, inconsiderate/insensitive redundancy?  Most folk in Nicaragua are pretty much occupied with just that, aren't they?

Watched ep #2 and was totally bored

until

the adolescent angst meltdown at the end during the tribal council.

WTF was that?!? Part of me wanted them to keep that dirtbag, just to watch him live with what he'd said.


And, on the oldsters' side, there's the other goofball with her paranoia and nonsequiters. I suspect that they planted her there on purpose, just to make it interesting.

I know one thing... when I was young, I never bad mouthed older people like those arrogant "young tribe" goofballs did last night.
I bad mouth them now though.

And what a bunch of shallow kids they are.
Talking down the girl with the prostheses.
Sheesh.
I hope she kicks their butts.
