Survivor Recaps at Recapist.com

[Ran]

I'm so happy to have found this forum I could kiss it! I've been marooned over there at the CBS "official" Survivor forum, which is...well, let's just say it's not very user-friendly and leave it at that. A kind soul over there pointed me in this direction!

I write Survivor recaps for Recapist.com. If it's all right with you, pawpaw, I'd like to start a thread for recaps that I'd update each week when a new one goes up.

Here's the teaser for last night's episode -- "She Obviously Is Post-Op":

Previously, on Survivor: Nobody got eaten by a large animal! Let's call that a win! And, thanks to Defamer.com, I saw more of Marcus than I ever expected to see. There's a big ball joke in there somewhere, but I can't quite get my hands around…never mind.

And the teaser for the double-episode premiere -- "Want To See The Elephant Dung?"

Whoa! Forget those microbial villains that took out James and Jonathan; invisible predators are so last season. Looks like this season's biggest threats could be a whole bunch of Animals That Can **** You Up. Gabon, the lush, coast-hugging African country hosting this season of questionably sociable misfits, is home to hippos, elephants, tigers, gorillas, alligators, and a variety of other things that have bigger teeth than you or I. "Earth's Last Eden" is also home for the next thirty-nine days for eighteen new Survivors, who've been dropped off in their street clothes and are making their way across a vast sea of grassland to meet Emmy-winning Jeff Probst. Jeff, buddy, you'd better sleep with one eye open and keep a well-honed machete at the ready; disappointed fans of The Amazing Race's Phil Keoghan lie in wait behind every tree. There might even be one or two lurking behind that hippo!

You should PM cwalton ---he may let you post recaps in a thread or even on the front page--his call.

[cwalton]

Feel free to post them here each week. Start a new thread for each if you want. I might post an excerpt of each on the front page.

Welcome to the forum. Glad to know people at the CBS forum point others over here, where the air is cleaner and the grass is greener.

Thanks, cwalton (and pawpaw)! I like posting each week in the same thread, if it's all the same to you, because then people can find all the recap links in one place.

You are more than welcome to post the teaser (or an excerpt would be fine, too -- anything up to about 200 words or so) on your front page. If you decide to do that, please also include the link to the full recap.

I can't imagine what CBS was thinking with their new forum interface. I thought the old one was horrendous, but the new one is virtually unusable! I have message board NEEDS, people, and they're not being fulfilled over there!

My recap of last night's episode -- "It Was Like Christmas Morning" -- is now up at Recapist.com

Here's the teaser:

Now I know for sure I couldn't be a Survivor - I barely survived six hours on my feet at the Obama rally yesterday! I thought I planned my "limited personal items" carefully enough; we had a couple bottles of water, a vinyl tablecloth to put on the wet grass, and some granola bars, but by the time we got back to our car, my feet were killing me, the sun had burned my neck an alarming shade of fuchsia, and if someone had offered me a half-cooked bat I'd have eaten it, fur and all. But I'd do it again in a heartbeat, and that's probably what the Survivors say, too. Once-in-a-lifetime opportunities don't come along very often - carpe diem!

My recap of last night's episode -- "This Camp Is Cursed" -- is now up at Recapist.com.

Here's the teaser:

Previously on Survivor: Kota rules! Fang drools! Oh, and according to Jeff Probst, Fang "voted as if they had a death wish" by eliminating a strong player instead of a weaker one. Maybe. But they also broke up a potential ex-Kota alliance of Ace, Sugar and Jacquie, so it's not necessarily a bone-headed move. No, they saved that for tonight.

My recap of last night's episode -- "It All Depends On The Pin-Up Girl" -- is now up at Recapist.com.

Here's the teaser:

Dang, the Fang tribe's looking rough. Day 19 finds Ken practically see-through, and even Matty's cute is withering away; he's going from "hunk" to "husk." To make matters worse, Crystal accidentally trips over the rice box, spilling some of their precious remaining rice. She scoops back what she can, and nobody reprimands her out loud, but she says she can see from the looks on Matty and Ace's faces that they're angry. Her response? A massive dose of passive-aggression, where she curls up on her mat and refuses to eat because she wouldn't want to take any more rice from them. Both Matty and Ace try, repeatedly, to get her to eat so she'll be stronger for the challenges, but she refuses. She didn't mean to spill the rice, but it's okay for the rest of the tribe to get perturbed about it, too. Of course, if they hadn't been chowing down like they were at an all-you-can-eat buffet the first week or two, they wouldn't have found themselves in the position of crying over spilled rice now.

I'm starting the miss the good old days when there was just Paw Paw and C doing the RECAP .................


I cant help but think back to a movie called "Children of the Corn " when outsiders or "INTERLOPERS" came to their town they cut off the heads and stuffed corn stalks in it's place.

I would be fun to put a corn stalk where " nipple head and vulva boy's " head should be
