Reality TV - Survivor All-Stars #2 - Mogo Mogo and Chapera battle it out! - Page 3

Wow. This Survivor just keeps getting worse to watch with each episode. I thought combining the Reward/Immunity challenge was a bad move on the producers part. Survivor All Stars keeps ripping off viewers with cancelled/postponed challenges and now this.

I know not everybody likes Colby...but I was really bummed to see him go. I was so looking forward to seeing him show off his skills in the individual challenges later on. Shi Ann definitely made the wrong choice. If there is no merge next week, Mogo Mogo is in deep trouble.

Gotta say I was disappointed in Lex. He is thinking too far ahead of the game trying to be some mastermind/jack of all trades. I had to change the channel on Chapera because their constant celebrations are really getting on my nerves.

Who voted Colby out? And why was their decision to do this?

Holls · 03-11-2004, 09:53 PM

Voting Colby off was pure genius. Go Lex! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Well can we make it official that Lex is the best player not to win the game - for the second time King Lex has totally taken control of the tribe he's in. He did much the same in Africa and basically carried Big Tom and Ethan with him. Didn't expect a power play this early though - now with Lex and the women as allies (I'm assuming Kathy's still in despite spilling all to Chapera) they can dump Ethan if they have to.

I don't feel the Chapera love though mostly because it seems to be ruled by the Robbfather and his sidekick, Amber, and Rob's arrogance is annoying. Except for Hatch in season 1, I can't think of anyone who "knew" they were in charge (as Rob thinks) who actually went on to win. Burnett seems to not like players like that and gives them a lot of rope (and airtime) to hang themselves with. My fav. moment of the episode was when Colby and Ethan said they don't want to lose to Rob specifically.

Ill be the first to admit I really disliked Colby on the Outback season because of his domination of IC's. Granted, that was just him being a really strong player both physically and mentally and not really anything he did wrong. I just really loved Kucha from the get go and wanted Elisabeth or Roger to win. But I found Colby to be much more entertaining this time around because he wasn't the only strong alpha male on the show. He was pretty funny especially this last episode. The look on his face when he voted for Jerri was great, he didn't even need to say anything.

Somehow Jerri continues to be one of the best players in Survivor history at being a terrible player and still going deep into the game. I dont understand how she is able to last 2 weeks in this game.

Actually, combining IC and RC was a good move, because personally, one of the most interesting things about Survivor is the tribal dynamics. And while I didn't really care for watching Chapera's happiness, I loved what was going on in Mogo Mogo. This tribe is falling apart!

I think Shii Ann made the right decision swinging over to Lex's side. After all, she's already in an alliance with Lex and Kathy. If she voted Jerri off, she'd be on their bad side. Meanwhile, Colby and Ethan don't like Shii Ann either. Shii Ann knows this. Remember what happened in Thailand? She alienated both sides of the tribe, and was ultimately booted. (Granted, the fake merge sped that up, but nobody could trust her anyway.) So now, she (at the very least) has a F4 alliance.

Ethan's an idiot. IMHO, he didn't deserve to win Africa, and is probably the least deserving winner. (And don't bring up Tina or Vecepia; I blame Mark Burnett for not revealing their strategies. They were definitely playing the game. Besides, everyone on Marquesas apart from Kathy was an idiot.) He sucks at challenges, he sucks at tribal dynamics... gah. He's on the chopping block. Heck, even a merge would put him on the chopping block!

Colby... man, he probably had control over Mogo Mogo had he not acted like King Richard Hatch. He did practically everything he criticized about Hatch. He was cocky, he told people off... remember last week (and two weeks ago), when he told Shii Ann he didn't respect her game? I bet that still had an effect on her. Sure, it doesn't matter if he respects her game or not, but she still outlasted him.

I want to see Jerri gone, but I'm glad the gloves are off, and the bitch is back. Finally. I can't wait for Shii Ann and Jerri to do a huge face-off.

I'm rooting for Lex and Kathy. I don't know why Kathy's giving off information about her alliance, but I think she sees this as an opportunity to cut herself off from that alliance without necessarily having to vote them off. Smart, if it pans out. And Lex! Man, he was robbed in Africa (as much as I hated him for booting Kelly Goldsmith, I ended up rooting for him). He's slowly revealing his strategy, and it's a good one. I just don't think it'll help him if Mogo Mogo gets "Pagonged" by Chapera.

I still don't care about Chapera. If a Chaperan will win - and that's likely - then I think Rob M's the most deserving winner, if only because everyone around him is bowing down to him and, really, not doing much to try to beat him. Ugh. I'm not rooting for Rob M or anything, it's just that at this point, he's the most deserving to win out of Chapera.

I'm more disappointed that I won't be able to see Colby's shirtless physique anymore! [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

I agree with what someone said that Lex is thinking too far ahead, however I think the merge is quickly coming on them.

But....

I don't like Lex. I've never liked Lex. I think that they should have voted Ethan off. First of all, he was the sole reason the lost the challenge. I mean, I don't blame him, he just couldn't undo the knot. But, he was the one responsible. Plus, and this is a biggie for me, HE'S ALREADY WON! He already has the million so get him off. It's funny, because this makes it sound like I don't like Ethan. I really, really do. I just would rather have seen Ethan go over Colby. Colby should've won last time over Tina and he should've been given the chance for individual stuff.

I think that Jerry should've gone. She's annoying and whines about everything. She brings the tribe's spirit's down.

I also loved how Ethan and Colby said they hate losing to Rob. I despise him so much that I found myself wincing whenever he came on screen. I just can't stand anything about that guy. If he gets to the final two (or even the final 4) I will be outraged. I hate, hate, hate it when people get cocky (one reason I don't like Lex).

Holls · 03-12-2004, 08:13 AM

I Looooove Boston Rob. I thought it was so funny how Ethan and Colby were mad losing to him. Yes he's cocky but it's all in good fun, he always said don't take his confessionals too seriously [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I'm definately rooting for him to win (or at least make final 4 so I can keep hearin his sexy accent...boston accents turn me on..don't ask lol)

It's hard for me to imagine Ethan as a past winner. I never saw Survivor Africa so I don't know if this is how Ethan plays. He just seems too...incompetant. Is he really this bad, or is he faking his loser status? Honestly I can't tell. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Great episode! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Jerri got her revenge!
Although what should have been 2 challenges was taken up by filler of Chapera's happy time. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Shii Ann made the right choice. Why would she want to side with Colby and Ethan? They don't even like her. Shii has a tight alliance with Lex and Kathy.

Why is with this logic that the women must be voted off to win challenges? I remember Jaburu and the Kathy/Neleh/Paschal tribe doing just fine.

What is so fascinating about seeing Colby dominate challenges? Wow, he's a muscular guy. That's surprising. I think it would be more interesting if someone other than an alpha male wins challenges.

It seems that Jerri is just tagging along with Lex/Kathy/Shii Ann. I hope she and Shii Ann can learn to get along, so the four of them can stick together.

Ethan is a terrible player. Always has been. See what happens when he doesn't have Lex to carry him? I love how Lex doesn't even consider the fact that he and Ethan were allies in Africa. It's a whole new game for him. I really hope Lex and Kathy go far. They deserved to win their seasons IMO.

Yes, Ethan is really that bad. IMO, he is the least deserving winner. Since he really didn't do anything but sit around and look pretty, he was considered a "nice" guy and therefore deserving. WTF? What does nice have to do with this game? Ethan put very little effort in Africa because Lex basically controlled the game and carried him along.

Unfortunately, according to polls and stuff, Ethan is the most "popular" winner because of drooling females. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Wow. Colby getting voted off? I didn�t see that one coming. I thought it was Jerri or Shii Ann for sure. I don�t like Jerri. She�s always b*tching about one thing or another. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

P Y R O · 03-12-2004, 12:15 PM

Well, I find Ethan hot, too, but I hated his win the most. I hated that season in general (after Kelly G, Brandon, and Lex got voted off), and Ethan's win was just... ugh.

He didn't dominate the challenges. He tripped a lot. He didn't even initiate anything. (It's no wonder people didn't see him as a physical threat despite his physique and athletic background; he was incompetent at challenges.)

I hope I don't come off as hating Ethan... I mean, I wouldn't kick him out of bed (I [b]defnitely[/i] wouldn't kick him out of bed! [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img] ) but I just don't respect how he won his season. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

**SuperGirl** · 03-12-2004, 02:42 PM

Lex, that bastard. I hope he goes next. Then Jerri. I'm just not going to enjoy watching the show anymore without seeing Colby and his sexy self. [img]smilies/pout.gif[/img]

Did you guys see the commerical for that razor? Colby was in it, all clean-cut and everything. [img]smilies/sigh.gif[/img] And least I'll still see him in that. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]
