I created a store with Survivor related products from Amazon.com. Here are three, but there are more items on the store page, including Steph’s hat. Check it out here.

It had nothing to do with him being a football player, he was just the odd man out when you count up the votes. The alliance is too strong at this point. I’ll be back later with more details.

Last week we started out with Jamie picking a fight after tribal council. This week we start with Jamie picking a fight after tribal council. I’m not even sure what this one was about. He was saying that Gary called him a liar and that Gary was mad at him. Gary was completely calm about it. Everyone was puzzled about what Jamie had to say. The boy was losing it. Mr. Paranoia. If there’s a gap in the story I tell below, fill in a conversation with Jamie asking someone if they are voting him out or if the 6 will stay together. That happened over and over.

The reward challenge was for a helicopter flight to a private house, with showers, a swimming pool and real food for the winning team. The teams were two sets of two men or two women tied together. One team was Steph and Danni, Gary and Judd. The other was Rafe and Jamie, Cindy and Lydia.

I haven’t seen it yet, because it’s still 6:00 PST for me, but this was just postd in the forum. Jamie was voted out.

OK. First of all, I’m so excited because Jamie is finally gone. He is crazy. What was all that when he left the tribal council? At the beginning of the episode, I was confused. He was upset because he said Gary was accusing him of lying. But wasn’t he doing the same thing by accusing Gary of lying? I know he was driving the tribe members crazy because he was driving me nuts and I didn’t have to live with him. Second, if Stephanie cries one more time, I’m gonna scream. She cried three times this episode. I have to admit, though that I was rooting for S/J/G/D at the reward challenge because, as much as I dislike Steph, I didn’t want Jamie to win. I’m glad that Judd is now worried. I’m ready for him to go. I would be ecstatic if Danni won, or even Gary at this point. I would like to see Lydia go far, but I doubt she will. I was surprised that she wasn’t voted out because of the reward challenge. Bless her heart. I am really glad that her lack of athletic ability has not caused her to be a target. I get upset when people get voted out for that reason alone. It’s not all about being athletic and Judd proved that he’s not as athletic as he tries to pretend to be during that reward challenge. I think the only reason they won is because of Lydia not being able to walk through the mud. Rafe has surprised me. He has proved to be alot more athletic than I ever would have thought. The show’s getting more interesting because it’s becoming unpredictable, which is what I like.

I made a lot of screen captures this week and I don’t want to load them all every-time anyone comes to this page, so this is a summary and the rest of the details on the next page.

Everyone hates Jamie. Judd wins the reward challenge, gets drunk, and gets the clue to the immunity idol. The immunity challenge is won by Jamie, who should be voted off, but not tonight. Rafe takes a great fall into the water.

Gary finds the immunity idol and so Bobby Jon is voted off tonight. Read more and see more photos by clicking on this link. More… »

I got shut down earlier today and they stopped serving my images. It should be back up at midnight and I’ll make some changes to accomodate their limits. I got new TV video capture software and went a little wild with the images. I’ll try to move them off to another page or something.

Hogeboom?á?í?ôs 15 Minutes of Fame

I?á?í?ôve heard plenty of former ?á?í?star?á?í? quarterbacks blather on in bars about their on-field accomplishments years before. So I was a wee bit skeptical when Gary Hogeboom, Survivor castmate and former NFL QB, compared his struggle as odd man out of a powerful alliance to a game he played decades before, when his Dallas Cowboys were ?á?í?down 20-something to Detroit,?á?í? and he threw for ?á?í?close to 300 yards in one quarter.?á?í?

OK. For starters, Hogeboom was a career backup. Second, any fan of gridiron goings-on knows that throwing for 300 yards in one game?á?í?ìmuch less one quarter?á?í?ìis a nifty accomplishment. Further tweaking my skepticism, online research revealed that Hogeboom threw for all of 978 yards in 1985, the year of the fateful game (which, as it turns out, Dallas lost 26-21). Hogeboom?á?í?ôs poor performance in the spear-throwing challenge last night further made me doubt his accomplishments.

Unable to find individual stats from the game online (remember, it was the Luddite days of 1985), I called the Dallas Cowboys. ?á?í?Jancy?á?í? got back to me in minutes, and offered up Hogeboom?á?í?ôs box score: He entered the game with 14:55 left in the fourth quarter. He completed 17 of 24 passes, including two touchdowns and zero interceptions. And he threw for?á?í?255 yards!

Not bad, Mr. Hogeboom, and certainly not a stretch to call it ?á?í?close to 300 yards.?á?í?

Recalling his finest football moment last night seemed to light a fire under Hogeboom; a short while after mentioning it, he found the immunity idol that had eluded the castaways for days, and staved off sure elimination.

Now, if only Hogeboom can pick apart the Nakum alliance the way he dissected the Detroit secondary decades before?á?í?

Take the Survey

There’s a student working on a thesis project for school who set up this survey. He promised me that he’ll send me the finished thesis when it’s done and I’ll post the results here. It looks like all of your privacy will be protected. It could be fun, unless you’re psychotic or depressed or something, then I’d lie on the answers. :-) That’s up to you. His name and email is Pedro Davila, survivor_thesis @ hotmail.com

This site is not officially associated with him, but go give it a shot anyway. Let me know what you think of it in the forum.

Jamie shows how much class he has.

Jamie was less than gracious when the tribe was merged. He was a jerk during the immunity challenge. Bobby Jon wants to punch him in the mouth. His tribe wants to punch him in the mouth. Judd, the king of all jerks, is actually getting annoyed with him. Rafe is feeling really badly that the 6 ex-Nakum are lording their majority over the poor 4 ex-Yaxha. Maybe he’ll flip and vote for Jamie too. It’s not looking good for Jamie. Everyone hates the rude jerk.

The vote is 6-4 for Brandon, straight down the old tribe lines.

Gary won the immunity challenge, while some of the people got to eat food instead. I’ll write up the whole thing later and post some more screen captures from the show. Please come back later to see it all.

In the meantime, check out what everyone is talking about in the forum!
