Survivor Philippines

[pdoel]

New cast is up. Including the woman who played Blair Warner in The Facts f Life!

[kreigmack]

I can't wait to see the blond on the left in action this season. Please don't vote her off first! Is former major league baseball player, Jeff Kent, going to be in this season? That was an Internet rumor I read. When does this season start?

[pdoel]

I believe it starts 9/19.

[Lwize]

Jeff Kent is on.
9/19 according to CBS.

Looks like a good group, even with a butch lesbo (not that there's anything wrong with that).

[beng]

I guess Mrs Garrett wasnt available?? Reminder bump... starts tomorrow. I have to set my DVR. Some interesting folks. Even got Jeff Kent from the San Francisco Giants... and they've brought back a few players eliminated by injuries.

[Lwize]

I'm ready for another run. This show, just like The Amazing Race, is televised "comfort food".

Well said

[pdoel]

Poor Zane. That dumbass never saw it coming. And he had such a great strategy!!!

[Lwize]

Yeah, Zane overplayed his hand and burned up too quickly.

Nice to see "Blair" again. I guess since her show has been off for 24 years (not sure about current cable reruns) and The Mickey Mouse Club is even further back, most of the younger players should have no clue who she was.

[titleist1976]

I'd like to see Jeff Kent do well (GO GIANTS), but wrecking his knee a minute in look bad.

[Justin]

Couple of nice looking women in this season...Jeff Kent was the man on the field lets see if he can do something and lets see when they all figure out who he is. The women in his tribe made me laugh with her "he must have made 30 million dollars playing baseball" line...Hmm, he was a good player so it's more like $86,250,617.

Booby-trap

Admitting you're not ready for a team challenge is an easy way to get booted. She dug her own grave.

[GTI_Matador]

That team in general is just a mess. What do you guys think about the 3 team twist? I think its pretty good and should help address the merge problem of one team sticking together and over powering the other.

[titleist1976]

That was one pissed off seminary student. I thought studying religion would be a calming experience.

[GTI_Matador]

Usually the more religious you get the less understanding or compassionate you become towards others that don't share your beliefs.

[titleist1976]

It must have been sexual tension.

[GTI_Matador]

Well, there goes the eye candy for this season

[Lwize]

RC(?) is still impressive.

[GLI_r8cer]

RC(?) is still impressive.

that she is, her body is great, face ehhhhhhh not so much.

[Lwize]

that she is, her body is great, face ehhhhhhh not so much.

A bit of a butter face, but damn she looks shapely in a bikini.

[GTI_Matador]

True

[GTI_Matador]

In life I'm always amazed how completely self-involved some people are and how clueless they are when it comes to how they are perceived by the outside world. Its nice to see an element of that portrayed in Survivor yesterday.

[Lwize]

Damn, no more RC in a bikini

[kreigmack]

I'm gonna miss those RC funbags.

[titleist1976]

Butt... the brazillian butt is still on.

[joebags]

Just caught up in the last episode tonight, but have been watching the whole time.

Kind of glad the tribes merged, this week and very interested to see how Penner takes the close call of being voted out.

Any predictions on the final top three at the end?

And kind of really want to see that kid Pete go home and the Brazilian chick also.

[Phil Pugliese]

Malcolm and Denise are going to be tough to beat, both are mentally and physically strong in challenges plus Malcolm has an idol. Penner played his, who has the third one, I forget?

Crazy eyes has the third idol

[GLI_r8cer]

ummmm stupin is an idiot

it may actually work out for them now

[Lwize]

Another f'd up tribal council. I had no clue who was getting voted out.

That tribal was amazing. Didn't see Jeff going.

[joebags]

Malcom was smart as hell to show it and act like he was going to play it definitely, so that way no one voted for him and "wasted a vote."

Brazilian chick is an idiot for showing hers tho because only that one dude knew about it. So now they will be looking to flush that one out.

Denise, the black guy and that weird blonde kid are doing great at just sitting there and letting everyone else talk a lot, throw around names while them selves don't really make enemies with potential votes to win the money.

And I loved at the end when Jeff got to react Gi getting voted out and he said he made 60 million but what's this million.

'Facts' star has West Nile virus
By WENN.COM

Former Facts of Life star Lisa Whelchel has been diagnosed with West Nile Virus.

The actress, who recently competed on U.S. adventure reality series Survivor: Philippines, has been struck down with the life-threatening mosquito-bourne infection, which is primarily found in tropical climates.

It is not yet known whether she contracted the illness while shooting the show in Asia back in March.

In a post on Twitter.com, she writes, "Dr. just called with blood test results...I have West Nile. Ugh. I'm fine, just tired. Takes a year to recover."

And later thanking her fans for their well wishes, she added, "I've been very touched by all the sweet tweets... So grateful for you. Thanks!"

It has been tough year for Whelchel - in addition to her health problems, she also split from her husband of 24 years, Steve Cauble.

[GTI_Matador]

Was the split with the husband before or after Survivor? I'm curious because most contestants say that the show changes their lives and this week's episode seemed eye opening for her.

[titleist1976]

She's probably dating Jonathan now. He touched her heart.
