she takes the cake for me then....holy CRAP I couldn't stand her

Bout time someone talked about Idol....we've had some pretty damn fun threads in the past I agree about Crystal....wow, she is good. And that's not just because this season has majorly SUCKED....she's really, really good. MexiGokey... I'm having dejavu with Lee Dewyze. I remember being shocked when David Cook made the top 12 his year....I just didn't see it. By the middle of the season, I was on the bandwagon. I haven't liked anything Lee has done up until last week. I really enjoyed that song and I'm looking forward to seeing him perform this week. Everyone else? Ugh....Katie is awful....Sioban (da fuk kind of name is that anyway) is sweet but annoying...big Mike is okay....little man is okay...not a fan of the cowboy guy, but he's had a few moments. I dunno, this show just needs to put half these folks out of their misery (and ours) and get it down to Crystal, Lee, and maybe big Mike.

omg, was Lil that woman who dressed up as a boy scout leader or whatever?

totally agree, man...I don't know why they picked her for this season....there were much better choices than Cirie!

Very true....I remember last season when he was getting so cocky at the end...I was yelling at the guy through the tv to stfu! his social game, or lack thereof, is definitely his downfall....he can outwit, out-smart and out-last, but he sure as hell can't out-socialize lol It's one thing to back stab someone because 'it's the game" and you had to do it, but another thing entirely to just brutally demoralize and throw them under the bus and then gloat about it LMAO

Wow, I didn't even pick up on that....great catch! The guy thinks through every single move he makes. Talk about an odd couple....It'll be interesting to see if Russell and coach (and jerri, Im assuming) will align together....probably not a good move for coach, cause russell will eat his children the minute it's advantageous for him to do so, lol, but makes for good tv anyway!

lol, I got a kick out of coach during his first season....he's a bit of an emotional wreck this time around, but all his dragon slayer antics from before used to crack me up!

rupert is like a big sack of gas out there....I was glad to see he was on the show, but WOW has he ever changed.

The worst part for me was when Russell asked for her to let him have the title of "sole survivor" and she said no...she just hit the survivor lotto for a cool million, doing NOTHING but look cute for 39 days, and she can't even give the guy props by letting him refer to himself in a particular way that honors his game play? She's a piece of work... I was really glad during the finale when Jeff asked Russell, "why do you look so frustrated?" Russell said, "because I feel like I just played the greatest game in survivor history" and the crowd went nuts for the guy. Most everyone who watched that season knows damn well who the true survivor was.

I wanted to see Rob stick around, but he's nothing like the player he used to be. I agree that Tyson was a moron, but that was courtesy of Russell! lol Russell has people so screwed up trying to figure out what he's going to do or what he's thinking, that it takes people completely out of their game. Last season was absolutely masterful! I've never seen anyone on any reality show completely manipulate people from start to finish like he did. When you watch this week's show, you'll see during tribal when he says, "if you target me, you're going to be the one to go"....and every time he's been the target, that's exactly what happened. I can understand if people don't like his game, cause his game is leaps and bounds above anyone else's at this point and it's probably tough for some of them to swallow...but the fact of the matter is that the guy is an absolute badass!

If Boston Rob and Russell could have found a way to align, they would have dominated. I think it's great when a strong woman kicks butt in this game, but I'm tired of these women (and certain males, even) who do absolutely NOTHING, yet hang around all damn game cause nobody views them as a threat. Thankfully they usually don't win, but it's happened a time or two. That's why I was sad to see Steph go home so early this season...she's a badass and a true competitor. Now that we're getting down to the final 10 or so, it's time to get rid of these boring women. If Rob and Russell would have just gotten rid of courtney, they'd be a lot better off.

They weren't my early pick, but I have to agree....they are playing to win. I think it's time for those lesbos to go....when that one was crawling in the mud during the WWI reenactment, she whined like a little baby, saying "this is not what I signed up for!", etc....give me a break! I would have loved to change places with her. If there's one reality show I'd love to go on, it's this one. I wouldn't even care if I won....I just want to do all the activities and see the world

Exactly...survival has nothing to do with being nice. If these players respect the game, they will vote for the ultimate SURVIVOR, not the nicest or most popular player. Russell found a hidden immunity idol last season without a clue not once, not twice, but THREE times. He lied, cheated, and manipulated his way into the finals, and played everyone like a violin every step of the way. It was absolutely masterful, and I don't see how anyone can say otherwise....unless you just don't "like" him

No way, man...this game is about "outwit, outsmart, outlast"....not who likes you or who doesn't like you. If that jury last season had any respect for the game, they would have voted for Russell. He masterminded every single elimination and the only reason that girl won was because she was tight on his coattails from day one of the "dumbass girls alliance". Only a bunch of immature losers would vote against him out of spite, and that's what last season was full of. If I'm stranded on a desert island and had to pick someone to have as a partner in order to survive, I'm picking the best survivor, not the person everyone "likes" the most. When the game is on, russell is a ruthless, manipulative, SOB, and that's what it takes to survive. I like Boston Rob, but he, Rupert, and Colby have totally lost their edge....they look like they're just on the island to collect a paycheck....no energy, no drive, no strategy. Rob was warning Russell that he was "playing with the big boys" now, and he got punked for not realizing who the BIGGEST boy was.

I'm assuming some of you guys still watch this show since the ratings are so good.... Last season, Russell became one of my favorite players ever on the show...the last two weeks, he did something I've never seen before and it's made for some pretty good tv! Last night I laughed so hard that my dogs looked at me like I was nuts. They cut to a scene with Boston Rob and Russell sitting on the beach talking. Rob looks over at Russell and says, "so what do you think the strategy should be?". Russell immediately responds, "it's clear to me we need to get rid of the dead weight...the weakest players." Rob says, "ok...so who would that be?" and the next thing you see is Russell pointing in front of him and saying, "them...one of these two". The camera pulled back and you saw that Sandra and Courtney were at the other end of his pointing, and they had been sitting there with them the entire time involved in the meeting! Rob gets this uncomfortable smirk on his face and says, "well that's a new approach I've never seen before...just point at the person you want gone and call them out to their face." Last week I saw perhaps the single greatest move in Survivor history....Russell and Parvati were aligned and they were being targeted by the majority. Russell had a hidden immunity idol, but the most he could do was save himself. He led another member of the tribe, Tyson, to believe that he was giving in and just going to go ahead and vote for Parvati so that he was in the majority. So they go to tribal, they vote, and then Jeff says, "if anyone has a hidden immunity idol, this is the time to use it." Russell gets up, walks over to Jeff, extends the idol out in front of him and says, "ehhh, no....not like this." He turns around, heads toward Parvati and gives HER the idol. Jeff starts reading the votes...."Parvati....doesn't count....Parvati, doesn't count....", etc. Next thing you know, here comes a vote for Tyson....and another....and another....and then all of a sudden, "fifth person eliminated from Survivor.....Tyson" UNREAL!!!! This guy and/or his ally Parvati were dead in the water, and this guy found a way to save BOTH of them while eliminating one of their main threats! I've always considered Evil Dr. Will from Big Brother II to be the greatest reality player of all time....but if Russell finishes in at least the runner-up spot, I'm going to have to give him the nod. This guy played probably the best game of Survivor ever last year, but got screwed in the vote out of spite. Hopefully he'll win it all this season.

HBD, brother!!

Nice shootin', Fez! That looks like a lot of fun

I'm so sorry to hear that, CL...God bless you and your family during this time...and remember that your TBD family loves you

Works for me....I haven't taken part in the S6 thread, obviously....is S6 any good? lol

Yeah, I figured that I'd end up having to wait a bit after this one...that's okay, I don't mind taking a break. I kind of like watching shows on DVD anyway....waiting a week in between eps can be really frustrating!

I'm on S5, episode 8..... WHAT THE FUG IS GOING ON!!!????!!!! Actually, after a brief "wtf" at the beginning of S5, I think I have a pretty good handle on things now and am very interested to see what happens. I don't understand why Sun and the pilot didn't end up back in the disco era with the rest of the gang, but I guess they'll explain that. I think Jin is my favorite character now.

Okay, I'm on episode 9 of S4 and I'm getting a bit frustrated with the show. It feels like it's turned into a spin off or something...da hell is going on here?

Looks like Constant was the last one I watched...will pick up where I left off in just a bit
