Many of us fancy ourselves intelligent and still manage not to be condescending to the peons around us.
No kidding having a gun or even being angry does not necessarily mean one belongs to the klan but it doesn't mean they don't either. I, like hepburn, thought he seemed to enjoy berating him. (Though she said it better.) I supposed out loud, didn't say he was, didn't say he wasn't just speculated. Unless you know this man personally you don't know if he is or isn't either. I have known a few people in the klan and his attitude reminded me of theirs. No more. No less.

lovebug: Many of us fancy ourselves intelligent and still manage not to be condescending to the peons around us.
At the risk of being accused of putting words in your mouth, this sounds like you think you've been condescended to. You haven't. Neither has anyone here treated you like a "peon." You made a very clear inference based on faulty logic and didn't like having that pointed out. That's OK. But you seem to be continuing with the same faulty logic with this statement. I merely disagreed with you, with absolutely no "condescension." My condolences for your acquaintances.

Well, I only watched with one eye until it got interesting the last 20 minutes or so. Obviously, these people did not read up on survival techniques! A prerequirement, I would think for anyone getting into a game like this. Things (stupid) I thought stuck out even tho I don't know names yet:
1)One leader carried nothing but his staffs or spears or whatever.
2)Pouring out water! And they didn't even drink any of it first!
3)Not knowing that anybody with a pair of eyeglasses can start a fire faster than the old Indian way (even tho Microbes says he can do it that way in an hour).
4)Clarence with the cherries. What if there weren't enough to go around if he took 2? They never told us how many came in a can.If there were extras then they should have been split. Some allowance has to be made for body weight and physical labor (something I learned about caloric intake during pre Y2K studies).
5)Muddying up the water before getting drinking water. Yikes! And certainly someone could give up a shirt or something to strain it with?
6)One team was smart enough to pull the supplies(tho not very well) rather than put it on only 2 mens shoulders. I guess that was the same team dumb enough to pour out the water tho!
I can see why they kept Clarence for awhile anyway. The name of the game is Survival not Trust. I'm sure when his usefulness is over he will be out.

It is still too early yet to judge many of the contestants HOWEVER there were a few that I did NOT like:
1) The Goat Farmer: For reasons mentioned here. Hubby said he reminds him of some co-workers who think they know it all.
2) Brendan/Brandon/Bartender: Ick. Bad attitude already.
3) Lindsey: I believe she is the one who annoyed me (again, too early and not sure of everyone's names yet) with her being mad because she wanted to talk and get to know people and others wanted to start working on shelter and worse, she announces she got her period. I don't like people who feel the need to tell everyone something like that. Maybe it is just me, but I dont wanna know!
Am sure I will have more opinions next week. But so far, those are my choices BESIDES Diane & Clarence whom have been covered in this thread already. I think they both were guilty and sneaky and both deserve the boot.

Yeah... It would have been better to drink it than pour it out.
even tho Microbes says he can do it that way in an hour
Only reason I know how to do it is that I watched a guy from Tonga (not an Indian) do it one time, and was amazed at how fast he got a fire going, and asked him to show me how it was done. (I offered him a bic lighter, and he laughed at me, and had the fire going in 15 minutes.) He used a little different method, but it sure works.

I did indeed make a clear inference but using what logic you had no idea. You assumed it was based upon his accent. I took exception to that. It had nothing to do with his accent but was due to other factors which I do not find faulty at all. Then you went on to state the obvious
many of us have guns and yet manage to not join the klan.
I take this to be condescending. Then you insulted me which I find rather childish.
In any case thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to care about correcting my faulty logic. To think I came to just chat about a television show, I was unaware there would be a quiz.

? Enlighten me as to the "insult."
BTW you will find that here, as on many message boards, that people actually read *and* respond to statements that you make in various threads. Sometimes we don't like the responses we get. That's life.

Now now, kiddies, lets stay on topic, shall we?
luvbugg, I see from your posts that you havent been here long. Welcome to RT.
Now, where were we? Oh, the goat herder. He wont last long, as Im sure he will offend someone else eventually and get da boot.
The bartender guy...I figured he was one of the girls just by listening to him whine.
The chick who wanted to visit and party before building a shelter and getting a fire going...shes an idiot, plain and simple (and another kimmy from Survivor2). The rest...we will just have to wait and see what happens, wont we?

I had the same opinion of Lindsay as ThriftStoreQueen stated above.
Goatherder didn't make any certain kind of an impression on me. I will have to pay closer attention this week!
I repeat - I do NOT like Clarence! The guy took 2 cherries!! In situations like that where food is scarce, you have to *think* about what you are doing with your food. I don't think that him "not paying attention" while taking 2 cherries is any kind of excuse. That's like getting caught speeding and saying "well I didn't notice the speed limit". You're STILL gonna get a ticket cause you were GUILTY! (Well, most people would get a ticket anyways!  ) And as far as the beans - the fact that he threw the can out where no one could see it - proves his guilt. He was trying to hide the evidence. And Diane was just as guilty for eating the beans. ALL food should be shared equally, no matter what.
Frank - the telephone/ex-military guy is a JERK. I don't get along well with bossy people, and the first day I would have told him where to go if he started bossing me around. I don't think he'll be there long. He's all talk and no action. Seems to be good at telling everyone what to do while he stands there and points fingers.
So far, the only person I can really say that I DO like is Ethan.
By the way - I reserve the right to change my opinion on all tribal members on a weekly basis

[sixersfan76:[/b] does anyone know where i can find a survivor 3 theme?
www.audiogalaxy.com will be your best bet.
Right now they only have the themes for Survivor I & II available to download, but I have no doubt that the theme for the current show will soon be available!

Tomorrow the next episode is airing.

Ok guys, if you haven't watched Survivor yet tonight and if you have a weak stomach (like I do) then be forewarned about the challenge tonight. I *literally* got sick watching the immunity challenge tonight.
At first I felt bad, and then watching them "do their thing" it made me sick. Literally.
I thought the food challenge on Big Brother was bad when they had to drink their dinner mixed in a blender. To me, this was even so much worse. But, maybe it's just me, because no one else seemed to have a problem with it. I would have said you could kick me off the show - there would be NO WAY I would do that. NO WAY.

For a chance at a million bucks, I'd eat and drink a lot worse than that. (I expected something gross, and was surprised... Piece of cake, compared to the nasty water they have to drink.)

It isnt on here yet...but if they did what I think they did and figured they would have to do since they are in Africa, then I dont think it will make me nauseous. After all, the natives there have been doing it for centuries and have survived. I cant give alot of it away, since others may not have seen it yet (including me), but I think now we need to find Rocker and her smiley icon she loves so much..i think it would fit tonights episode, dont you, EG?

Yes, Hepburn - her little smiley would be quite appropriate!
I get queasy at just the sight of...umm.. *that*... let alone have to *do* that or *watch* someone else *do* that....
Just thinking about it is making me feel sick again....

This food challenge really wasn't a challenge at all. Even the girl (who ended up being voted off) who just couldn't bring herself to drink the water downed the blod-and-milk mixture with no trouble.
Blood just doesn't taste that bad (yes I have tasted it ), doesn't smell bad, and doesn't look bad. Now, eating a grub I'd have a problem with, but not this.

Goat herder is twofaced. I dont like him either. Im glad Jess is gone. she was a wimp. Another I really cant stand is brandon. He is too feminine and hangs out with the girls too much, and does absolutely NOTHING but prance and preen. He needs to go bye bye as soon as they can dump him. Actually, Frank and the dentist seem to be the strongest so far. Its about time the older ones banded together with brains. Where do they find these younger teenyboppers who think its a dam slumber party?

To a great extent they are *all* two-faced--they have to be to have a hope of winning.
I figured Jessie would be voted off tonight--she was definitely the weakest (physically & mentally) of that tribe.
As for the other tribe--ALL of the younger members need a good swift kick. They lay around doing nothing (or at the most, whining).

All right, all. Ready for a true shocker!!;
I have never watched a single episode of any of the 3 Survivors!
Glad to finally get it off my chest. I would say my TV viewing consists of 3 hours a week, and it is mostly news. Every now and again I get to watch my beloved Patriots play football, but that's it.
I will say this, though: I always enjoy these threads on the shows: someday I may even watch it. What channel is it on?
