Ann Althouse said...: You should know better than to go clicking around this time of night, hark-dog... out there in Hawaii... I mean... What the hell... you're in Hawaii... ^*$#@! I'm freezing my *^% off here in Wisconsin. Don't come crying to me!!!!; 12/7/06, 8:17 PM
Ann Althouse said...: But... sorry... really... I didn't know...; 12/7/06, 8:19 PM
Harkonnendog said...: It's cool, hehehe. I actually know better than to click on your site on Thursday afternoons but I forgot.

I'll miss Johnathan too. I assume Adam won the immunity challenge.

It is about 76 degrees right now btw, soft blue sky, trade-winds blowing gently. Laughing children dance the hula while their parents play the ukulele and sip mai-tais on the white sandy beach. I can see all this from here, as I type. I'm not kidding.

Aloha!; 12/7/06, 8:40 PM

Three woman - two boring, one stupid?

Who's the stupid one who made it to the final six?; 12/8/06, 1:32 AM
Ann Althouse said...: Why are the men so much more interesting than the women?

Ozzy, Yul, and Jonathan we're all interesting for different reasons. Simon, I feel sorry for you that you don't know who Yul is. He's established that he's the smartest person there (unless someone else is playing dumb or one of the non-Pavarti women is just lying low). But why did he go for ousting Jonathan? No theory was explained as to why it made sense. All I can think is that he's trying to make Raro jurors love him. I guess that's enough.

Ozzy's physical superiority is fun to watch. Yul and Adam appear to be physically superior when they are strolling about being awesome man slabs, but in action, Ozzy is hilariously better than everyone else.; 12/8/06, 4:26 AM
alphie said...: Aah, Pavarti is the "stupid" one?

"Stupid" being code for "most attractive?"; 12/8/06, 5:41 AM
Simon said...: Oh...I had a peculiar vision of Ozzy Osborne hanging out with Yul Bryner. Teutonic rock. Rammstein. Or something.; 12/8/06, 7:26 AM
Harkonnendog said...: I guess they booted Johnathan because the camp is full of tension when he's there, and relatively relaxed and enjoyable when he's not.

It makes sense. You can't trust Johnathan and it is 4-2 without him, anyway.

I wonder if Yul will turn on Ozzy if Ozzy loses a challenge. It would be the right move. Besides Ozzy Parvati is the biggest threat in the challenges. She's the only one who can hang with Ozzy in the weight to strength ratio challenges. What a great season.; 12/8/06, 2:16 PM
Susie said...: The Aitu 4 chose the wrong guy, and the whole tribe was too harsh on Jonathan. He was just playing the game rationally.

He was not a physical threat or individual immunity challenge to the Aitu 4, unlike Adam and Pavarti who have now both won the IICs.

I didn't think it was fair when Jeff announced that Jonathan's wife was squeezing the water out of her shirt.

I was also really surprised that the producers let Parvati, Adam, and Sundra bring back food from the Reward Challenge. That seemed to stir things up.

I've never watched Survivor before this season, so I'm not sure if bringing back food was allowed before. However, I would guess not.; 12/8/06, 4:14 PM
Harkonnendog said...: Susie,
People have brought food back before, but that's an excellent point about the hair/shirt squeezing.

And if Johnathan wins he doesn't get sent away- HE gets to cement his bonds, gets humanized thanks to his wife, and Johnathan or Parvati get sent to exile and miss their chance to bond.

That was a HUGE challenge in this game and Jeff went beyond narration and really influenced the outcome.; 12/8/06, 8:44 PM
