06-Sep-21 Survivor Cook Islands - Represent?
With the combination reward and immunity challenge we had more time to get to know the tribes. In some cases that is good, some cases not. The Yellow Team finally made fire, the Blue Team was still too lazy to build shelter, the Green Team has a migraine specialist and the Red Team were so annoyed with a teammate they threw the challenge. The big twist of the night - Yul found the hidden immunity idol? No, Billy found true love! Good gracious - even Jeff was taken aback by that.
Topics this week:
- Cao Boi stated “Representing your race doesn’t mean avoiding the jokes” - do you agree with this statement?
- The Red Team was so obvious in throwing the immunity challenge - is that a good idea?

Poor Billy, Billy is just that socially retarded guy who doesn’t get much loving, so when a girl even remotely shows interest in him his mind starts playing tricks on him and he goes stalker crazy for her. She probably could have said good morning and smiled and he still would’ve fallen in love with her.
Just a buncha quickies:
Marji:
- Not fish ‘n’ chips…fish ‘n’ chix.
- I agree with you that Ozzy thinks he’s the leader, but also thinks he better be diplomatic and deny it.
- Go ahead and do BuddyTV without Mike. Audio segments are nice, but not necessary. If you can (technically and attentionwise) then go for it when you can. But don’t concede an episode to Fairplay.
Mike:
- The iBrator hooked into Nirvana. From the album “Smells Like _ _ _”? (And did you choose Nirvana as in mental state at happy ending?)
- If calcium makes you smarter, does that mean you’re a bonehead?
- You said “lotsa chickens; good thing no sheep; what about cows?” They did drop one Cao on the island, Boi.
- “Billy is sucking up resources”. Ya wanna make size jokes? Okay. “Billy is so big, he’s sucking up LIGHT”
PR rep…soneone who’ll pipe in with “I think what Mr. Boi is trying to say is…”
The team that threw a challenge was the Drake Tribe on Survivor Pearl Islands. That’s the tribe Rupert was on and he was adamantly against it but went with it anyway because that’s what his tribe decided. That tribal that Burton was voted out…..who I can’t stand. I was so glad he got voted out and soooo disappointed when they brought him back for the outcast tribe. Anyway, I was expecting a much worse reaction out of Jeff. In a numbers game it’s monumentally stupid to lose a member on purpose. Personally, I also think it was dumb for Christina not to sway Cece to vote off Ozzy or JP. Obviously Ozzy and JP are tight and Christina seemed tight with Billy. By voting off Billy, Christina lost her alli (sp?.) It was also clear that Christina and Ozzy don’t get along because they kept fighting about who had a better chicken trap design. Do you think Ozzy will have Christina’s back later in the game if he hates her on day 6? Hello, no! Christina should have been working Cece to get rid of Ozzy or JP. With all of that said….I felt bad for Billy till he made his confession at tribal council……and did the smile he had after Candice said, “We love you” seem really creepy to anyone else? Ozzy and JP were really mean to Billy though…..it almost seemed pretty high schoolish.
My dear god.
WHO is going to stop Cowboy (I refuse to call him Cao boi) from beating up his entire team?
What the hell!?
I guess his strategy is to beat them all into submission and they will all eventualy bend to his will. Or whatever… jesus christ.
And who the crap decided that this year would be Survivor: Chicken Islands? The hell is up with that?
Billy. Gone.
But in a word:
Stalker.
Be afraid, Candice. Be very afraid.
I think the name “Chicken Islands” is endearing!!!!
…and if you listen to Feast Of Fools you’ll find out that “Chicken Island” has yet a whole other meaning
On Feast of Fools chicken refers hot young men — and what was Marji saying about a couple of those guys this season.
You know Slappy…..you might be right…..maybe that “red dot” is really some voo doo curse that makes everyone obey whatever Cowboy says! One by one all of the cast aways will come under his power! Jusr wait till Cowboy breaks out the “flute” and they all start dancing around mindlessly!
I don’t know Steph — you’re starting to scare me. Last person I remember seeing with a red mark on her forehead right between her eyebrows, following a wild-eyed guy was “Squeaky” Fromm.
John - I think you are so right. Billy was looking for any affection he could get.
Obviously Billy didn’t have Cowboy’s voodoo powers or even a magic flute to get people to follow him. Poor guy - we’ll see Cowboy rushing over to him at the season finale giving him a red dot on …. to give him back his self respect.
IMBruce - like the fish and chix, but like Mike’s better - Island of Hot Young men :- )
Thank you Steph - that was driving me crazy that Mike didn’t remember about the Drake tribe. Hope it comes back to bite the Red team in the…
Slappy - to add on to your statements - Billy - Stalker, Candice - Be Very Afraid, Match.com - money making opportunity
Thanks for the podcast, guys. Good to hear you again!
I thought it was arrogant to throw the challenge, however nutty Billy turned out to be. Even if they thought Billy was dragging them down, their chances on winning tribal immunity are good. Numbers = good chance for later post-merge survival. Hell, we know only 1 tribe doesn’t win immunity at this stage in the game. It blows my mind they did that.
Now, yes, Billy turned out to be a little scary. I actually thought the women were going to vote for Ozzy until the “love at first sight” moment. Yet according to an interview Billy did over on realitynewsonline (uh, not that I obsess or anything), he says Cristina told him as they sat down for Tribal Council, that he was out.
As for Cai Boi’s assertion that you shouldn’t avoid the joke. Well, I’m a Lesbian, and I have no sense of humor.
The dot looks like a hickey. That’s all I’m saying.
Billy- you are a FREAK. Poor, poor Candice.
Adam- God you suck!!!
Yul- I LOVE YOU!!!
Yeah, okay, Billy’s a freak.
But let’s not forget: freaks are fun to watch. In this, “reality” shows are tapping into the market that circus side shows, now marginalized, no longer fill. Remember our delight last season watching what’s-his-name’s antics with the Blockberry, pining for his kid, etc.? Yeah, okay, I’m crappy with names. Just ask podcast hosts Mark and Maggie.
So though Billy’s freakiness is what got him voted out, and was strong enough to get them to throw the challenge to do it NOW (stupid, Stupid, STUPID; you’ll lose one eventually, live with the freak til then…and let us watch him dance for awhile more), it would’ve made for some good tv.
And yeah, Adam bugs me. He’ll be fun to watch. Not as fun as Billy, but fun.
I think Billy’s freakiness pushed him over the edge when he almost was back on the ledge but he got to that edge because he didn’t produce. God bless the Latins for kicking is lazy ass off the island.
As for what Julie said about Cai Boi’s joking, I think she brings up a good point. Humor is a considered a move of intimacy that people may not appreciate to be taken lightly. A joke may be the first thing to cut the ice but let’s face it folks, it’s also the first think we’ll criticize once the person’s back is turned if we don’t like they person — yes?
Hello everyone,
I’m sorry for being late to the conversation (I just finished the podcast), but what a great episode. Chock full of the stupidity we love on Survivor.
I love Cao Boi’s jokes. Watching these people squirm because they basically have to live with this guy is great. And a guy joking about his own race is not a bad thing.
I do it all the time. Being Portuguese, there’s nothing else you can do but make fun of us. We were the ones selling slaves to America. We landed in Angola, Africa and decided that diamonds weren’t worth anything, but natives being sold as free labor were much more lucrative. Don’t people that stupid and downright evil deserve to be made fun of?
As far as throwing a challenge goes, like I.M.Bruce said, “stupid, stupid, stupid.” Whatever happened to throwing the stronger competitors out early so you can pick off the weaker ones like fish in a barrel later?
Throwing the challenge was the biggest mistake the Hispanic team could make this early into the game … tribe = votes, votes = power, and when a larger tribe merges with a smaller one we all know what usually happens. If they lose again they will be at a big disadvantage … they would have been better off carrying Billy a little longer until it is safer to jettison him.
And what is with those damm socks … this is the second time someone has worn them??
I have to admit — I laughed out loud at the “Roots wedding” / “jump the broom” bit. My cow-orkers were looking at me funny because I was giggling in the middle of the work day … 8^)
Mike, if you insist on continuing to summon the Purple One-who-must-not-be-named in song, I’m going to Google slanderous Italian terms and … well … post them on your message board! F3AR M3! 8^)
Unfortunately, I’m probably gonna go 0-for-3 on BuddyTV sessions this seasons this week. Soccer practices, choir rehearsals, etc. are conspiring to keep me busy on Thursday nights. I’ll try to rejoin the fold as soon as I can.
Previews are saying that there will be a realignment. This week maybe?
If so… Hispanic Tribe, way to go. You are now outnumbered.
Sigh.
Have you people ever even WATCHED an single episode of this show before you go on it?
I think the jungle makes them mad.
Mad with power.
Mad with indifference.
Mad with that Mel Gibson type madness.
There’s a form of Rockabilly music, combined with punk, called “PSYCHOBILLY”.
Only heard of it cuz of a podcast I heard of on others I listened to. “Bib and Yaz” is no more. But one of the hosts now hosts “Psychobilly Deluxe”. Listened to one episode. Can’t say the style appeals to me, but somehow it just seemed appropriate to mention.
I didn’t really get to watch Survivor (oh no!) but I did read the synopsis, which is not really the same as watching, and I got the right idea. Why did I not get to watch it? BECAUSE I HAD TO DO *@*#%#@ SCHMITZ HOMEWORK!!!!!! Ellie can concur as well. Okay.
Well duh, you can represent your race. I mean if you don’t offend other people is fine! I know other Asian people that tell Asian jokes, infact they fit into every single sterotype out there. But I don’t…I dunno maybe I’m not really Asian. Cao Boi boy is right to say this I mean when Mike said that the AA people can call each other’s N’s they can but when this white-boy does it is TOTALLY OFF. And Mike, never ever say those words on the air again.
WHAT TYPE OF STUPID MOVE IS TRHOWING A CHALLENGE (this entire respose will be in caps to show my anger) WHY THE HECK WOULD YOU WANT TO THROW A CHALLENGE? HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED SURVIVOR: PEARL ISLANDS? OMG YOU NEVER EVER THROW A CHALLENGE UNLESS YOU REALLY HATE YOUR WHOLE TRIBE. OMG WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY. I NEVER REALLY LIKED BILLY, SO THAT’S A BONUS. WHEN THE MERGE, BYE BYE HISPANICS!
There are a lot of Asian people Mike, more than you could possibly imagine.
Predictions:
Reward: Asians
Immunity: Asians
Exile-Island: No Asian person
Voted-Out: No Asian person
If you read this post, I think you are cool.
Hispanic Team Wins Darwin Award…
The show is Survivor. From a genetic/evolutionary standpoint, the tendencey to throw a challenge will prove to be self-correcting. Translation: as Winson says “Bye Bye Hispanics”. You’ll be weeded out of the Survivor Gene Pool. Well, okay, unless you buck statistical likelihood and DON’T lose another and end up at 3 or less when amalgamation happens.
Oh, and for everyone who’s gotten their panties in a bunch about Burnett’s pitting ethnicity vs ethnicity…
How do they feel about that other series that has done (largely) the same since TV began (and way before)?
It’s called “The Olympics”.
Well said, Bruce!
Oh… and it must be said: Jeff’s double-take expression when Billy announced his stalker-love for Candice was priceless.
I think he may have peed himself… just a little.
Well, he had a lot of info to process in that moment.
Is this a one way thing…and will that be good for ratings?
Stalker > Death > Litigation? (Ratings?)
Is it a reciprocal thing? If we have another finale-to-honeymoon-special, that’d be good for ratings, wouldn’t it?
What will Mr. Burnett think?
Do I do the product placement spot for Depends? I’d have to admit to peeing myself. Lose some dignity there. Oh. Right. I’m famous around the world as the host of Survivor, so that ship’s sailed already… Nah, let’s leave that for Ed McMahon. But boy, am I glad I wore ‘em today.
What’s that red light over there? Oh crap, I’m still on.
Jeff has quite the job: He could have very well peed himself but considering the smell of the other survivors by now, he could have blamed him. Unless they put a black light on his pants.
Let me think about it…if I could have Jeff’s job, after about day 5, I could get away with not having to get up to do a onesie for the next 34 days. What a time saver.
“Put a black light on his pants…”?
Well, C.S.I. “comes” right after Survivor. They’re the ones with those detector lights.
I’m late to the party–I’ve just returned from five weeks in the States and have been catching up on many things. It took me a few days to get through the podcast (but I loved it!).
Last season was the first time I’d ever seen Survivor so I don’t have a lot to base this on (I think it’s terrible that Michael & Marji can’t remember the names of people they chatted about for over three months–Michael even said “Austin” in this episode and elicited zero response from Marji, not even a twitch! It just goes to show you how disposable the reality tv meat grinder is…next!)…
…however, I thought this was the best episode of Survivor I’ve ever seen! It had everything! It was the one time I’ve seen it when it didn’t seem completely predictable. And, someone found the immunity…thingy!
I like Ozzy. He’s more Mogli than Tarzan, that’s for sure, but the guy knows his stuff. I mean, if Christina had her initial way, they’d all be sitting there without chicken, without sleep while Billy did nothing but frustrate and annoy them, drain their energy and snore. And probably talk about Candice.
It remains to be seen how the fix will play out in the long term strategy but it was brilliant in the short term. They are a much stealthier tribe.
Look forward to hearing about the podcast convention! And do you ever let your children out of their cages? The sound of their suffering is distracting me from Survivor! :0)
