He suggested:

"rec.games.trivia"

See...it's much nicer to be in a group with bright survivor fans...and
hear good comments.

Trivia groups are all over the place.

"My idea of a trivia game is 'what were the tribe names in Survivor
All-Stars?'

Who was the first player sent to Exile Island?

What languages besides English have been spoken in Survivor?

Who was the first player removed from the game other than for injury?
(This is a bit of a trick question)

Who was the first tribe to wear green buffs?

Who was the first tribe to wear yellow buffs?"

That makes sense...you may not believe it...but the music and movie
trivia began as a result of being disgusted by the spoiling.

The folks who said that nothing was spoiled for THEM...deserve the
floor.

I don't want to interfere with the game.

For 'da goat...this was from AA...and I thought that you and other
residents of Vancouver and Canada might find it interesting.

Well, the chip game has been part of this group for quite a number of
seasons. So I don't think there's any problem with that as it provides
another aspect on the game and trying to figure things out. Yes, there
have been a number of spoilers that some people know of but as far as
I know the next half of the game is fairly unspoiled so that should
make the game more interesting.

It takes a lot of work to run the game and I appreciate what D-W does.
I think the only real problem for most came up when D-W posted a bunch
of separate threads giving the people opportunity to win extra chips
in the game. I suspect there wouldn't have been any complaints about
the posts had he made one thread and just posted each of the
opportunities under that thread as new sub-threads.

Unfortunately this season the only people that are regularly talking
about the players and what they are doing ARE the people playing in
the chip game. The rest of the regular posters are turning into very
irregular posters for some reason. It might be because of Russell or
the way the season is edited around him or perhaps Survivor is boring
them after 19 seasons.

Dubya said to me:

"Well, Doob, I know you to be a peace-loving liberal hippie love
everyone warm fuzzy kind of guy, but any time you let anyone else
control your actions, you are giving up some of your own personal
freedom. "

They USED to be warm and fuzzy...but NOW...everyone shaves or gets a
wax.

Kelly IS hot.

I see a new Mrs C in the making.. ;)

The only reason I'm ahead of you is because of that one bet you missed
on Liz. Of course the only reason you and Mrs C were so far ahead of
me was due to one bet I missed early on in the season. Any time there
are bets that can return twenty to one or better it can really change
your status in the game if you get it right.

So where does one go to find the latest and greatest spoilers on the
game? I've read a fair bit of sucks and have seen lots of references
to them but no real detail.

I prefer Monica or Natalie to Kelly truth be told but won't put him
down for preferring a different hottie!

I never did get an answer from anybody who could tell me which tribe
first wore green buffs (without looking it up)

So - what is the consensus - is Ulong the worst excuse for a tribe
ever or is Foa Foa giving them a serious run for it?

Mostly you can just read the posts from Mrs. C.  I kid I kid.. Okay,
not totally. She really has posted spoilers for most of this season in
this group, but most of the time they've been properly labeled as a
spoiler so no one has to read them that doesn't want to.

I've never been bothered by the chip game in previous seasons, I haven't
been interested in taking part but it's been easy to just bypass the
couple of threads it used each week. This year it seems that the chip
game's structure was much more free-wheeling, which has lead to it
flopping about all over the place. It seems like it has encouraged a
general decrease in the quality of the discussion this season.

There used to be only one Bob Wald, but there now appears to be two or
three extras who are just interested in disrupting every conversation
with inane nattering.

That's what it looks like from my screen. Personally I've seen a number
of topics that would be interested in discussing but then the "Bob Wald"
wannabes jump in and after reading a bunch of inane posts one after the
other I just kill the whole thread.

I'm sticking with Ulong being the worst. At least with Foa Foa we've
seen them manage to win some challenges and come very close to winning
many of the challenges. If they had voted off a few different people
in the first few weeks they might have done much better as a tribe in
the challenges. Unfortunately it also means Russell Hantz might have
been voted out by now so that obviously couldn't be allowed by the
powers that be. (Cue the black helicopters. ;) )

For example if you met a man that you thought was pretty cool,invited
him to bbq's etc.Then,you found out that he was a confirmed admitted
pedophile.Would you change your mind about that person? I would hope
you would.Would you change your mind because it was politically
correct or change your mind because he is a despicable human? Would
you be giving up your personal freedom because you decided not to like
him after all?

I know,it is a pretty drastic example.But,it was what i was thinking

Y'all have a great evening.Russell should have kept his goods in his

It probably was all of the time. I know the stuff I read about S20 I did so
knowing it was spoiler info. I've skipped over at least 95% of the spoilers
for this season so the season hasn't been ruined for me because of them. The
season has been a disappointment thus far because either the editing is
making it seem like Russell is the only one playing the game or the rest of
them are among the worst players ever, especially considering how many past
seasons they had to study. I'd say in just about any other season Jaison
would have been long gone given his performance and attitude so far.

There is a website survivorsucks.com or at least there used to be. Joker's
posts articles about Survivor and I believe they have some discussion forums
but it's nothing like what they do for BB.

I've been quite enjoying the season so far. White Russell has been a
hoot. Add in Shamboo, Yams, Erik and other the other assorted nutjobs
and it's been pure entertainment.

It may be all in the editing but it sure looks like White Russell is the
only one on Foa Foa who is scheming and plotting. We haven't seen that
much of Glau because Foa Foa kept losing everything, but now that they
are merged we see that the members of Glau are pretty much as
incompetent as White Russell thinks they are. The four members of Foa
Foa should be easy boots for them, then Shamboo goes before they have to
start "eating their own" -- but after the first individual immunity
challenge Foa Foa and Shamboo are even in the firing line, let alone
targets.

It's been great!

This isn't BB, where you can watch it online. I expect spoilers there,
that is why I stay out of the BB group on days when spoilers could be
posted.

I guess since Mr Cleanmyass somehow has some inside info, it gives him
a hardon to spoil things for others. Mr Cleanmyass, is a inconsiderate
prick, period!

BTW, you do a great job in the BB group of NOT purposely posting
spoilers. Thanks for that!

news:blank-348882.18563708112009@news.telus.net...

I was basically saying the season has been a disappointment from a game
playing standpoint. I agree with you that the level of incompetence shown by
most of them and how clued out a few in particular have been has been
entertaining. If the rest of the season plays out like the first half has so
far the best part could very well be the reunion show. Probst will need a
solid two hours just to ask these people what in the hell they were thinking
when playing the game. Even though she was an early boot, Yasmin deserves a
full five minute segment so she can explain what she was trying to
accomplish by trashing the opposing tribe while there for a "visit."

No problem. I know that with BB that some people want all the info they can
get as soon as it happens and that others just want the TV episodes
experience. Putting in "Spoiler" or "Possible Spoiler" into a header isn't
really that hard as far as I'm concerned and that way nearly everyone is
happy. Of course they'll be the usual bitching about what is and isn't a
spoiler but I prefer to play it on the safe side for the sake of those that
don't want to know anything until an episode airs.

I respect Kenny and enjoy his perspective on things.

I never like to 'disrupt' threads...and try not to.

I'll add stuff in other places, cuz after all, Perfesser Wald DOES have
some graduates.
