Best line from last night:
Host Jeff at tribal council to Ogakor...
"So guys, Kucha's kicking your ass!"
LOLOL
I was a bit dubious when the 'warning: this scene contains violence and may not be suitable for younger viewers' came on after the commercial before Psycho Mike killed that pig. Someone needs to take that knife away from him.
And you're right, those of you who commented on how WELL these ppl are eating compared to the first Survivor... we're only into several shows down and they are already whining about food... I remember actually feeling sorry for the first Survivors... and wondering how they felt as the cameraman were, I'm sure, digging into their backpacks for chips and sodas and whatever else they had stashed. Does anyone know how far away the cameramen and Host Jeff sleep and if they have trailers and kitchenettes? Must piss the Survivors off if they can smell steaks cooking in the wind, lol

Click on the below link, go to the Kangaroo Court then to Episode 2. The description of that night's show states "Then she (Jerri) tossed off accusations against combat Kel, which beat his retreat as a meat cheat."

LOL jamesoblivian! She made way too big a deal about the chickens!
Ok, now I am totally intrigued! The accident? What do you think happened? Anyone care to speculate on who it happens to? I can't wait til next week now...

I'm dying to know about the accident too!!! I really need a life, LOL! I guess one of the crocs had a snack. Been trying to figure out which one....I know it wasn't Roger or Elizabeth. I don't think it was Mike either...so maybe Jeff or Alicia?
Too bad it wasn't Jerri, (shame on me)!

ROFLMAO PIMP Keith! That's good! I think that it's one of the guys...only cause the way they showed the previews it was a masculine sounding scream.
saljo63 - I too need a life, I schedule my evening AROUND this show...pathetic or what? LOL (no comments from the peanut gallery ) I have my 2 year old son hooked too...tonight he was on the couch with me chanting "Kucha, Kucha, Kucha"! Is this a bad sign...

Kaffro-LOL, I schedule Thursday nights around it too! My poor husband called at 7:58, (he's an over the road trucker), and I kept thinking-"I'm missing the opening credits!". Poor guy!

I just downloaded the application for Survivor III. No harm in applying, though since I am in my 40's and not svelte I doubt I have much chance. The videotape is a sticking point, though, as I have no video camera & the only one I know who does is the owner of the dive shop I got certified through. Wonder if he'd loan it to me? Wonder if filming my 3 minute video in full gear on a dive boat would help or hinder any chance I might have? What the heck, I'm going for it!
That Kimmi has had an effect, I think--one of the questions on the application is if you eat meat or are a vegetarian
edited to wonder if my tattoos would be a plus for me in this--they do seem to like people with "quirks."

re: the accident. According to survivorsucks.com, Michael returned to his hometown with his hands heavily bandaged. Not sure if the injury was due to an accident, or from excessively stroking his own ego. I hate that guy. He's cut from the same cloth as Richard Hatch, plus I think he has a screw loose, to boot.
I'd like to revisit the pig incident, since I was suspended and couldn't post when it happened -- I don't believe for a second that the pig just wandered into camp. I think the producers went out, rounded up a baby pig (no coincidence that it wasn't an adult), tranquilized it and released it into Mike's kill zone.
In a perfect world, mama pig would have been concealed in some tall grass several yards away and at the first squeal from her baby would have charged Mike and shredded the flesh from his body.

Here's PETA's statement about the pig sticking:
------------------------------
For Immediate Release:
February 16, 2001
PETA's attorneys are in touch with lawyers in Australia who are reviewing existing laws to see whether a criminal act or acts took place.
In 1925, Australia passed its Animal Protection Act, making it illegal to torture, mistreat, or bait any animal or to instigate such acts. If Mark Burnett and CBS orchestrated this act by placing a tame pig on the scene, or separating a wild pig from her family group by helicopter or otherwise, or baiting or corralling this pig so she could be attacked, Burnett and CBS and others on the set are also likely to have violated the criminal code. "Instigating" cruelty is an offense equal to stabbing an animal.
It appears that Mark Burnett sent and contracted with people from the U.S. to go to Australia and, there, commit an act or acts of animal cruelty that would be illegal in this country and most likely are illegal there. Many people have called to say that they are appalled and upset about the show and are going vegetarian as a result.
There is no question that the animals killed on last night's show suffered. It is troubling that CBS would allow this to happen. In so doing, they have established themselves as deliberately willing to break with society's well- established concerns regarding the ethical and humane treatment of animals. Becoming the network of animal haters doesn't sit well with the general viewing public.
PETA's attorneys in the U.S. are contacting CBS today to request the preservation of all the tapes that recorded the slaughter and events leading up to it. We want to know how many times the animal was stabbed before she died, because it seems that death did not come quickly, and how the animal came to be there in the first place.
------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, here's the Humane Society of the United States' take:
-------------------------
HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES CRITICIZES CBS FOR AIRING PIG SLAUGHTER ON "SURVIVOR"
WASHINGTON - The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the nation's largest animal protection organization, has issued the following statement on the CBS Entertainment show "Survivor":
"Many viewers tuning into last night's episode of the smash hit 'Survivor' were horrified to witness the inhumane and gratuitous killing of an apparently wild or feral pig," said Wayne Pacelle, a senior vice president of The Humane Society of the United States. "The individual who killed this animal did so in an extremely inhumane manner, causing obvious suffering to a creature in his rightful place at the wrong time. The fact is, this animal died and suffered for entertainment purposes masquerading as 'hunting and gathering.' Despite what promoters say, there are groundrules for this 'reality' television. One groundrule should be a prohibition on acts of animal cruelty."

KIMMI'S GONE! KIMMI'S GONE! Woohooo, doing the happy dance!
I was still rooting for Okagor to lose so that Jerri could go, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for next week. The longer she's on, the more Hollywood exposure she gets and that's exactly what she's after.

I liked Kimmi. I liked her breasts. I liked the fact that she didn't stop being herself just to be accepted by the group. She was the only one who had the nads to object to the pig-sticking. I think the reason Michael had so many gripes about her "she's so theatrical ... her neck is filthy ... blah blah blah" is because she didn't buy into his self-image as the Great White Leader. I think he probably felt threatened by her. Ditto for the personal trainer b**ch who I think was intimidated by kimmi's playfulness and femininity, two qualities that Ms. Personal Trainer is sorely lacking.

I liked her breasts too.
Bunnicula, you're really trying out?? Maybe I should do that! That would be interesting, to say the least. We could meet up there and conspire to knife each other in the back.
I wonder if I could even do it, since I need to wear contact lenses or glasses. Somehow I can't imagine I'd be able to play blind. There'd be no harm in applying though. I'll see what my gf thinks and maybe I'll do that!

My husband was sad, too, to see Kimmi's breasts go. But I thought she was pouty and annoying, and the bleeding heart vegetarian schtick was getting old.
posted on February 23, 2001 10:58:17 AM new
Jerri or Jeff has to go....!....bY KIMMI we will miss you breasts...And thats about it

Bunnicula and Jamesoblivion:
If you get on, I'd recommend taking a crash course in starting a fire AND fishing with found objects before you get on the plane! It also might be a good idea to learn creative ways to cook rice.
I was SO relieved to see Kimmi voted off and heartily enjoyed her little finger waving session with Alicia. The chicken dramatics were getting pretty old.
posted on February 23, 2001 12:41:59 PM new The chicken dramatics were getting pretty old.
What dramatics? She got up and left the camp. She actually handled it more maturely than many -- myself included -- would have.
The only reason it seemed like dramatics was due to the show's insistence on playing up those moments, making them seem like pivotal, dramatic events. All she did was register a passive protest.
posted on February 23, 2001 12:52:37 PM new
It's hard to know what's pivotal and what's not pivotal, since we see under an hour's worth of footage from 72 hours worth of filming, and probably 1 minutes of comments for every hour's filmed. It's ovbvious that they're trying to present a general picture of what happens and how dynamics develop, but it is also obvious that a lot is left unstated.
Maui, supposedly they haven't yet chosen a site. In any case, they'll try to keep it under wraps for a while.

Personally, I thought kimmis "jugs" were more like horse feedbags...you know, the type you strap over a horses face so it can eat oats? Then again, Im not a boob person and definetly not male, so what do I know?
The videotape is a sticking point, though, as I have no video camera & the only one I know who does is the owner of the dive shop I got certified through. Wonder if he'd loan it to me? Wonder if filming my 3 minute video in full gear on a dive boat would help or hinder any chance I might have? What the heck, I'm going for it!
