Skooma

I'm sure production keeps them there until the allotted time to start for that day comes for them to leave. Everything is production micro-managed on this silly show. I can't believe the show has lasted 2 seasons in Australia. I thought those guys had better tastes. Well the show is NOT playing well here in the US and CBS would be insane to pick it up for a second season. There is a 50% drop-off in audience from the golden lead-in they get from Survivor to this show. Only us "completests" are left now which means I would never ever watch another episode ever if there was a season 2. Make this stupid show go away forever. My anal complestest personality is the bane of my existence at this point. Stop this madness!

It isn't an insult either. Just a funny put-down that nobody should feel thin skinned about. And I'm not one for Batman pop stuff. I so would have used Tweedledum and Tweedeldum-dum (my version) regards Sue and Caroline. So everybody has different fun put-downs.

I'm sure it bugs them too since it is production that does NOT allow them to clean up before eating. They want the "look" for the eating shots and have always forbidden washing up before eating after a food reward challenge.

And editing seems to tell me that neither of these guys will win but are being set-up for some comeuppance. To me Andy is edited as the delusional comic relief and Gen as the evil manipulative backstabber. (Yes I use "guys" for both genders and always will). I think Rachael is getting a better edit myself with Teeny as the darkhorse overcoming great odds. Both Kyle for his challenge wins and Sam being cut down to size at the merge are getting underdog edits. I guess Sue is getting the whacko edit at this point (chop up Kyle the Coconut some more) and also a cautionary tale for stupid plastic surgery stuff. I agree Caroline is most likely the goat that slips into the final three and gets zero votes or 1 from Sue at most. (Now watch me be completely wrong).

Yeah that was pretty clear from episode 1 it was all a very safe and easy set-up for a reality show and probably a popular park area in New Zealand normally. And yes the ice cliff segment looked to be very VERY short despite the camera angles used to make it look longer.

It isn't an insult. More a joke. And exactly what kind of personality is allowed to reference a very common phrase? Everybody knows that phrase and Kyle isn't some sub-species of the human race. He seems a pretty intelligent guy to me. Thank you!

They didn't draw for one. They just had the token that would allow them to draw a scroll. Gabe is the leader of Tuku and the others on that tribe acknowledge that. Sue won a challenge but so did Gabe so Sue isn't more of a threat. I don't see Rachael as a goat. Everyone has been saying how she is an excellent social player the last few episode. Or even Andy as a goat since these people seem to think he has their backs. I do see Caroline as the ultimate goat. Hell I just finally learned her name tonight. (I'll forget it again by next week though).

Tweedledum and Tweedledee are classic characters from an English nursery rhyme and used in Lewis Carroll's 1871 book "Through the Looking-Glass." Though I too prefer Tweedledumber for the latter. But apparently Sue is not a big fan of Lewis Carroll given the "I hate Kyle" montage the editors had a blast with this episode. It was the episode's highlight. And really Sue, that is why you "hate" Kyle? That was what sent you into a never ending rage against him, hahahaha. (Yeah he voted for her once but I think the real reason she hates him is that she hates Lewis Carroll fans). The editors are also having a good time adding all the "comic clown" music in the background to Andy's soliloquies too. Love those segments. Gabe was the logical choice because of numbers but I agree self-styled "I make big moves" corporate lawyer Geneiveve would have been a far more satisfying vote out. Not that Gabe was exactly modest either. Especially his ridiculous "I'll be back" comment as he left.

Yes I think the show was set-up for them to fail on the very first and much longer leg so we could get all the drama of losing money and no luxury of a checkpoint with food and better shelter. But all the other checkpoints seem to be way shorter and a lot easier for them to reach in the time limit. It seems all production-designed to be that way. Why do these idiots keep talking about them "winning" the game like only one person will be allowed to summit? (Yeah I know. The 'idiot' bit I just typed). I do like that the REAL Mountainkeeper is forcing them, production and production's stupid, corny, kiddie "Mountainkeeper" helicopter off the mountain for the next 24 hours. When they return I hope an Abominable Snowman version of Jeff Probst greets them with "The mountain has spoken" and sends them all off it.

So according to the above ONLY those 2 FBI shows are cutting back. Not Ghosts. And Ghosts, filmed in and outside (Woodstone Manor exteriors) Montreal and not having tons of sets, wouldn't be that expensive to produce in comparison.

I wouldn'tc all being pregnant and having a baby a "personal issue" which kind of sounds more like what you would say about someone in rehab or something.

Jon Stewart doesn't hold back ... and never will. He's the best.

Bummer. I like a 3 hour ending all on one night. OTOH Following your link I found another link to Sol's interview and thoroughly enjoyed the read. Learned a lot of stuff reading it.

There is no actual contract information on what their contracts exactly are.

And it obviously isn't real money in the backpacks. Just play money. They wouldn't carry real money along with them for about a hundred different reasons. Also just a terrible host and terrible "Mountainkeeper" concept too. Was this show designed to impress an audience of 7 year olds?
