This Bulent in this Castaways show is a total ass and has fallen off his Bone Throne of Unique and interesting characters as far as I am concerned. What a jerk he is being. If I were a psychiatrist I’d say he has Oppositional Defiant disorder. I can get why he was a little peeved about being woken up hearing tree breaking sounds by Na’im close by. He could have tried to do it a little further than the sleeping beauties, but then he’d have further to haul it back. He also wanted to work while the sun was not beating down. Absolutely right and logical reasons to be gathering wood for the team while he had the energy and gumption to. I mean, they are stuck out in the woods naked, on a survival mission. Supposedly working as a team. Plopping a log on Na’ims feet while they were trying to fall asleep was so rude and aggressive, and if the tables were turned Bulent would have had a cow! Maybe even popped him one… and rightfully so. It was a malicious and intentional act. It probably was one of the logs Na’im woke him up harvesting that morning, and he used it vindictively to get back at him. Kerra, not siding with Na’im, and calling out Bulent’s rotten behavior shows she is just a coward, afraid to get on Bulents bad side. She’s kissing up to him way too much for someone who is witnessing all thats going on in front of her. Including turning Na’ims apology to her into a “poor me” situation that she has to sit and watch this abuse done to Na’im by Bulent while doing nothing to stand up for the actual victim of the abusive behavior. She completely avoids placing any blame on Bulent. It is best she chose to leave the gloomy forest offering one evasive pig with Bulent insisting only he alone has capable hunting skills that can EVENTUALLY capture it. She’s better off finding the shore line paradise that Heather, Patrick and Andrew have moved to and are living it up on, eating crab and fish. Until Patrick gets his stupid ass chewed up by a saltwater crocodile he thinks he can jump on and kill single handedly, that is. Has he never seen the power and explosive strength these masses of reptilian muscle possess? His bony butt must be some kind of new level of insane to even think it is a possibility. He just thinks its so exciting, and wants to be like like the fictional Crocodile Dundee. We also find out during this episode that Heather has been an alligator wrangler in her day. Just another thing to add to her resume. I wonder if Bulent really was happy his two teammates left him behind, abandoning him with his precious pig. He does manage to bring himself to where other naked people are congregating during these shows, so I think it’s more for bravado show he claims to prefer to do these as a nomadic single.

No, you are not the only one. I was thinking the exact same thing. Roast some of that fat out of it over the fire.

Bulent is showing the fact that he is not good at being a team player. I though Na’im’s idea of two snares close together was a good one. Plus I think the loop is a bit too small for a big boar head and neck to wander into, unnoticed by the boar. It seems like Bulent is a naysayer for the sake of being oppositional to anyones advice or input on any of their suggestions. The only thing he seemed agreeable to that was brought up by someone other than himself, was when Kerra suggested they set up camp in an area that she pointed out would be a good one. They are also saying he is tiresome in his constant unasked for teaching advice about survival tips and goes on and on like he is their mentor teacher on this shared adventure. The Grand Pubah of survival information. He does not play well with others, and it is showing. I’d be bumming out if I were in his group at this point. Who died and made him the boss of everything that goes on within the group of the three of them? He did, and you better not question him on that! 🫥 I do love Bulent when he is doing a solo adventure that he excels in, or if he is with jerks that need some talking down to…But he is being a pain in the ass here. Thank God Andrew, Patrick and Heathers team finally got fire so we don’t have to hear her toddler tantrums anymore. Well, for now, concerning fire at least. All it took was a planted container of gasoline and a spark maker. If that didn’t work, I bet they would have come across a fully intact dry book of matches the next time they combed the beach for survival treasures. Candice and her jaw/ear pain. Whoa, I kind of know what that feels like and think it has to do with a salivary gland infection of some sort. Very painful. I bet she is relieved they had to tap her because that pain would have been torture to deal with out there living in those ultra uncomfortable conditions, to begin with.

It’s pretty hard to write anything about this particular episode, this particular 3rd season in general. Its not good. I liked Marisol in the first season of Miami because she reminded/looked like a friend of mine and I loved her mother Elsa, and the relationship they had. Then it took SO long for a second season to come back, or was it the third.. I can’t remember. I just didn’t even watch it and had lost interest in it by then, waiting so long. Now when I see Marisol it just makes me sad that she drinks so much. Thats all i can say about this season. Except for maybe how Leah is a real pain in the butt and she sure got her ass handed to her in this episode by the others and rightfully so, since all she talks about is her bodily fluids and how shes bored with others conversations, sitting there with that puss on her face all the time. I think their honesty with her completely crumpled her confidence, any confidence she had in herself and her place in this group and thats what sent her to the hospital. The blow to her ego brought down any resistance she had, fighting off what was making her feel sick. I can’t blame her for wanting to escape the rest of the trip, and ride it out in the hospital after those women held that no-holds-barred pile on her, the night before. Does anyone know what she was so sick with? I guess I did have something to say about this episode.

Lol! I have been watching Finns face closely lately, after I wrote on here that I call him Zoolander because his go to look is ALWAYS to purse his lips. I think maybe someone reads this forum and mentioned it to him, and probably razz him backstage about it, because i see him trying not to purse his lips every time he finishes a sentence now. He was going through facial acrobatics during that scene with his father today, trying desperately to stop himself from pursing his lips, if anyone else noticed. 🤣😂 edited to add: I think Michael is Gorgeous! And doesn’t need to purse his beautiful lips for any scene, ever.

Congratulations to Alan! They certainly were all suffering greatly at the end there. I also do wish they tapped Mikey out (like it seemed they were very ready to do) before they kind of pushed him to do it himself. Wyatt looked like he had a huge weight loss in that last couple days. Was he eating stored fish filets that last time we saw him in his shelter? It looked like it was quite a nice portion. Maybe it was his last portion and thats why he decided to tap the next day. Starvation was bad enough without the small saved portions he had saved up. Mikey eating snow and belt leather? Thats pretty sad to see how far he pushed himself to try to be the last one. These last three went through a real hell that final week. The cold temperature was unrelenting. I think that maybe Alans choice of a round teepee style shelter held his shelter heat in better than the others. He didn't seem as if he was as cold as Wyatt and Mikey were those last few days.

AAK! The pelican crew is so puke worthy, I am so glad I wasn’t munching on anything when it came on. That trio is on a whole different level of surviving than the other 2 teams, and its like switching to the twilight zone when they show them. The disgustingness level of what they are doing with that pelican corpse is not calculable. I am just stunned with what they are doing with it. Bulent is Bulenting and he’s still real good at it. Once Ni’am reluctantly got a stick and then changed places with Bulent for the airplane wing carry down, it turned out to be a great idea to use as a rain roof cover. They have a cozy little nook there. He is not afraid to work hard and use what is available to make life out there, a little more comfortable. The last thing I, or anyone for that matter, wants to hear, is Heather boohooing and complaining like a child for sympathy for the predicament she signed up for.

If I were Alan, I could not have eaten that infested fish. Nope. No matter how hungry I was at the moment. There’s always more fish in the water. Then there’s that yummy lichen to fall back on. I would not be surprised if next episode shows Alan not feeling too well. Even if he cooked the heck out of it, and completely killed whatever that horror was that was lurking inside that fish, mentally, it’s got to affect him and just make him feel sick with the possibility he might not have gotten it all cooked out of it. It would give me nightmares. I have wanted it to be Wyatt who wins after watching the last few episodes now. I feel kind of bad for not rooting for Mikey the most because of his honorable intentions for his son. Actually, I am rooting for all of them, just that Wyatt’s my favorite. The preview looks like it starts really getting hairy for all of them next week, pushing them all to the limits edge. I thought this last episode was supposed to be the last one too. I really liked the Alone Australia episode that showed after this. The landscape was a nice change from what we normally see, and I liked how quickly they whipped through the introductions and dropping them all off at their spots. All ten in a row, without spacing that part over multiple episodes.

Yeah, that arm is pretty nasty when he tends to it in front of the camera. It’s production that put it in the final cut for us to see. Thanx for that, producers. 🙄

Aaah, nah… you aren’t making me feel bad. It is So wonderful that your husband makes your birthday “season” special! He sounds like a keeper! Ever since leaving the nuclear family, my birthday has been remembered, recognized and gifts from friends, are never the combo/christmas kind, anymore. I do have a lot to be grateful for, and I am. The childhood birthdays,,, ehhh, not so good, but hey… I live by the words that I must give up all hope of having a better past. It’s just not re-doable, and any dwelling does not do any good. e Connecticut. My home too. Brooklyn(ites) have a very strong New York accent. Great accents really. No other place on earth has such a unique accent. Lawn Guylinders too 😉

This has been the most non entertaining Ultimate girls trip of the bunch so far. The entire trip is this group just trying to yell over each other. No one has the ability to allow someone else to get a full sentence out before being interrupted, yelled over, and in ever increasing volume of screeching decibels. Poor Pepsi must be on migraine meds with this group. How awful it must be for him as host to this LOUD bunch of ego maniacs. I can’t stand being around loudmouths and wouldn’t subject myself to this deafening group under any circumstances, much less even one of the bull horn voiced attention seekers. I do appreciate Marisol not seeming to be dragged into the scream fest of each moment. So loud and rude anywhere they go. I can’t imagine what it would have been like if Rinna was also in that group. Poor Pepsi would be hiding in a closet slugging down the lost bottle of tequila. Giselle stomping around and wanting to search everyones room like the police is so off putting, treating everyone like a criminal. Maybe it was empty after the nights drinking, and the staff cleaners chucked the empty, or took the pretty empty bottle home as a decoration, since its the only bottle in Thailand, as Giselle claims. Marisol looks to be mainly a vodka drinker so maybe thats her saving grace from Giselles pointing finger and suspicious eyeing. Vodka and tequila do NOT mix very well unless you want to wake up poisoned and suffering an incredible hangover. At least that is my experience learned the hard way. I never watched Potomac, and now I know all I missed out on was a screech fest with massive egos vying to be louder and “righter” than all the rest. They are all exhausting. Heather is strange too. I never watched Salt Lake City either, but heard a lot about the black eye, like the whole rest of the world. Her coyness about it is not cute or charming. Shes a shady one and would be top on my list of tequila bottle disappearance suspects.

HATED the pelican scenes. Since everything looks producer influenced/placed, and lately, much more obviously so (re: Last one standing and now this castaways show), how the hell did that poor pelican with a broken wing end up sitting right there next to the happened upon boat which had a 9volt battery that still had charge in it, (obviously producer placed). It makes me wonder about how the wing was broken in the first place before it most likely was transported to the deserted debris of the boat in the woods area. Was it found with a broken wing? Or did someone break its wing, for this miraculous appearance in the middle of nowhere next to the boat, that held the means to able able to finally start a fire. We will never know I suppose. I do know it was extremely painful for that poor bird and the way Candace (who is reminding me Amber2.0) was stopping it from getting away by holding it by its outstretched tip of its broken wing must have been excruciating before they plopped that metal oven-like hood debris over it, so it could bake in the hot sun and suffer more so, before it eventually was gotten to, torn apart, and made into dinner. I feel, the show is slowly starting to cross huge boundaries now, and in my opinion trying to desensitize viewers to lessen empathy in themselves by this type of cruel crapfest put on screen for viewership. All in the name of the popular Survival TV shows and now, widely watched favorite… Naked and afraid as we have all loved for years. So many other shows are doing the same, creeping in slowly ( then slamming you) with some really nasty negative things and personalities in these reality shows, that I have been dropping a few from my TV viewing routine. I’d rather watch reruns of Doc Martin. Onto another part of the show.. lol, it didn’t take long for Heathers unbearable personality to shine through, and I am extremely happy that Andrew, at the end there told her to just go make the fire herself if she’s such an expert fire maker and thinks she can do it differently than the law of physics, since the beginnings of fire making by humans throughout history, then please, step right up and do so. That clamped those lips of hers shut, without an argumentative quick comeback for more than 5seconds and counting. I hope they pick up again next week, where they left off at the end of this episode, because I want to hear what she has to say. Actually I would like to SEE her sit her ass down and attempt to create fire instead of the constant complaints about how they need it and how everyone is doing it wrong. Put her money 💰 where her mouth 👄 is. Instead of haranguing constantly. I sure hope Bulent and Heather finally meet up during this adventure.

You are right. I admit I do get kind of bah humbuggy about Birthdays. Something I should put more effort into working on to make myself a better human being. Thank you for steering me in that direction. 👍

Thank you! It take a few weeks but definite healing is occurring. I am just grateful no surgery was necessary. I always remember one tidbit of advice Judge Judy gives for people who are getting up there in years, is “Don’t Fall “. Boy, is she right about that.

I really like Wyatts sweater too, for the exact same reasons. Plus it is a nice bit of color among the basic fall/winter drab colors everywhere else.

True, so very true, as I sit here mending a broken arm that I managed to REALLY HURT falling with the gravity of 10000 moons. When you get older gravity is so much stronger when you fall. It is a celebration to put another year under the belt . Actually it happened during watching Alone, a few weeks ago. I still have to finish watching that episode form the 13th. Tried Twice but just wasnt into it, lol. Fell going to the kitchen to turn the stove of my just finished cooking pot of soup, off.

Yes, I do know that I am in the minority in that aspect, tho i do make a bit of a hupteedoo for friends and family on their birthdays, which I know is important to them. I just don’t go all out every single year. I personally am fine with zero recognition (basically) on my own. A phone call remembering it means more than enough. I AM lucky tho to get more than that.. presents, cards, good food, maybe an occasional cake or pie lol, but I really tell everyone I do not want or need anything,, unless I do have the rare time I might be needing or wanting. Its always a small need.

That adorable giant baby Ace is a natural! He never cries but did on cue when subjected to Joss and her toxic, nasty negative energy. Smart boy, that Little fella Ace is.

I knew as soon as Melanie started yapping about she wasn’t doing this for the money, but for the learning experience, I knew she was a goner. She just wasn’t going to give fishing a real try for however long or where ever on the shore bank she might find some better luck at. Her teeth were getting “blubree” stained, and since the blubrees were gone and then any remaining most likely destroyed from the snow, she was done. Get ready Brian.. she’s a’comin home. Get ready to hear all about her feelings, like we all have. Lol, so jaded I am, huh? I am finding all these last four (now three) Aloners boring, except for Wyatt. Mikey and Melanie were boring me to tears with the constant lamenting about the ones back at home they miss. Mikey is whittling his time there away, whittling, and he is darn good at it. I did think his knife blade he forged and sheath he carved was really nice. He’s going to have a backpack full of handmade goodies to bring home with him. I am glad Alan caught a fish in his gill net, though, he is boring me too.Is it Alans birthday or something? I wasn’t clear on that. If so.. heres your medal, trophy, and marching band 🏅🏆🎷🥁🎺 for your grand achievement of having the calendar day be the anniversary of your birth. Oh! He brought his own fireworks to give tribute to and honor himself since no one else was around to extract accolades from. I wonder if the fireworks so desperately needed for a survivalist was part of the 10 items he was allowed to bring. I dunno. I just find it worthy of an eyeroll when adults make such a fuss about it being their birthday. Birthdays are for kids is how I feel about the whole deal. Maybe its because being born very near Christmas, my birthday was not forefront in the minds of people scrambling around at last minute holiday preparations and errands. I personally, got used to a no big deal day for my birthday and find it extremely annoying when grown adults leap around with joy and expect others around them to pay homage with fanfare. Especially those who say “It’s MY BIRTHDAY WEEK!!!” ..trying to milk being treated specially for all it’s worth, for as long as they can get others to play along. Just a pet peeve of mine. I only like little kids birthdays, because in this day and age the little ones deserve as much joyfulness as can be gotten from this world as it is now. They are only little children for such a short time, before living the rest of their lives as a “grownup”. Rant over. Wyatt testing out the mushrooms was brave, though I have always thought that if a bird eats it, then a person can too. I suppose the same goes for mice, since they are the poor critters used by the truckload to test products for the human market. I bet his grouse dinner was greatly enhanced by the addition of the mushrooms. Now that he’s extracted that huge splinter that was hiding out in his arm, I think he’s going to be doing much better, now that his body doesn’t have to try and overcome the growing infection in his arm. Ut oh… next weeks preview looks like he may have a shelter fire starting. My thought, is the next one to tap is Alan.

The little silver ball on top of the feed tube for the cord fits over the hole perfectly to cut off the oxygen and extinguish the burn when you pull down the cord at the bottom of the feed tube. The silver ball has a hook like thing that catches into the cotton cord material that you pull up just a little bit to expose the charred end of the cord to get that part close to the flint sparker.

Yeah! That was really stupid to think taking apart that broken lighters flint sparking mechanism would be a better way to get a fire started. What are they thinking!? I have a cool windproof lighter called a “sailors lighter” they used in the olden days on windy ship decks. It is just a flint and wheel thingy, just like on a bic lighter, that has a feed of cotton cord right next to it that catches the spark. The cord is 100% cotton window sash cord. It immediately starts burning the cord with a nice glow without flame. I am sure if I held that burning without flame cord, next to dry leaves or paper, while blowing on it a little bit, it would burst the dry material into flames. The thing is though, the window sash cotton cord has to have a burnt char on the end of it first, before it works to catch a spark and start burning the cord. You have to pre burn the cords end before the lighter can work efficiently. I do suppose the flint possibly could get a char on some easily burned material if you worked at it for a while. Anyway… taking the lighter apart is a very stupid move.

I liked the new Castaways show, first episode. An hr chuck full of commercials is not enough time though. Loved seeing Bulent the burly man again. Lucky them in his group of 3, being the finder of a magnifying glass for a fire maker out there. That does seem a bit uneven in garbage pickings available to each group though, fire starter wise. I don’t know how much luck the group that found the broken Bic lighter will have with that as their big lucky find, for fire starting. Heather is just as abrasive as she was the first time I saw her on the screen. Her voice and attitude alone could probably start a friction fire. I can’t wait to see what happens when she and Bulent meet up somewhere down the line. I am looking forward to that day, heeheehee. I am betting she will try to be sweet as pie to him upon the initial meet up.

I am liking what the new writers are coming up with their first few days. Some movement in the many dragged out forever, plot lines. Ava quickly coming clean to Sonny about Mason, the nanny, and Austin. Cody coming clean to Dante about Serena and the poker games, Gladys always in debt to Serena, causing the sale of Brando’s garage without telling Sasha beforehand. Kristina calling Michael a bastard, and rightfully so. Also the fact they even showed him in the office, a big executive such as he is supposed to be, actually spending some time in the office. Michael even seemed toned down in his facial huffing and puffing and normally over the top, high level of complete bully nastiness to Nina when she went to his office. Maybe the new writers have read posts here and are taking pity upon the viewers, or just are in agreement with opinions here. I like it.

I want Gladys to suffer the tortures of 10,000 agonies for what she is putting poor Sasha through. What a horrible selfish greedy, heartless, no conscience bitch she is. That Dr friend of hers, I wish the same for him. Now that Sasha has very clear mindedly recognized the fact that it was his prescription that was the start of her downfall, I am afraid he is going to want to kill her off. He and that witch Gladys will do anything to avoid being outed for what they both are. Monsters in human bodies. How could Gladys let this get so out of control and not do something to stop it at this point?
