Herc's Seen SURVIVOR 12.2?? 'Breakdown'!! Sweeps Day 8!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
CBS forwarded the second episode of the 12th season of “Survivor” – but the tape stops the second Jeff Probst tells the tribal council this: “To me this tribe seems a little all over the map. I’m curious to see how it plays out. It is time to vote.”
“Obviously,” the publicist tells us, “we ask your discretion in not revealing pivotal moments in the show which will take viewers by surprise.”
So. A few hints:
* Much of the episode focuses on Shane Powers, the three-pack-a-day smoker who quit cigarettes cold turkey to join the show. Shane keeps saying he wants to quit the game because he feels bad about missing his kid’s Little League game; the more he says this, the more certain viewers may become that what Shane really misses is that sweet, sweet nicotine.
* Much focus also falls upon leaf-fearing registered nurse Cirie Fields, who will shed tears before episode’s conclusion.
* The two cast members who get the least screen time this week are likely attorney Bobby Mason, 32, and retail leasing exec Ruth Marie Williams, 48. One belongs to the tribe that wins immunity this week; the other does not.
* This week’s exile to Exile island is chosen in a substantially different manner than was last weeks’. If last week’s exile, Misty Giles, or this week’s exile has found the immunity idol, such a discovery is not revealed to viewers.
* As publicized, a schoolyard pick reshuffles the four mini-tribes into two larger tribes, dubbed LaMina (which makes its home at the older men’s camp) and Cassaya (which makes its home at the older women’s camp).
* One tribe winds up skewing considerably younger than the other. LaMina gets three contestants older than 46. Cassaya’s oldest member is 35.
* The reward challenge involves an obstacle course and 12 enormous wooden snakes. The reward: fishing gear.
* Once the two tribes of seven get to their respective camps, four-person alliances are formed almost immediately. At LaMina, the three “outsiders” are kept largely in the dark about the four-person alliance. At Cassaya, one alliance member proves unafraid to publicize his alliance to the tribe’s three outsiders.
* One alliance of four is all male; the other is evenly split between genders.
* The immunity challenge is one of the series’ better. Each team is assigned a leaky rowboat tethered to a massive anchor. Some of the team members have to keep bailing water out of their boat with small buckets while others have to dive to the ocean floor to drag their anchor (and their boat) to shore.

FIRST!!!

Who's gonna takeover? (This timed out last time so it may be a doublepost, so if it is I sincerely apologize.)
-
Jeff was going to quit but enjoyed this season so much he renewed for another 4 seasons.
-
The last person picked in the school yard pick.
15 survivors are left, yet two tribes of 7 go back to camps.
that means whoever isn't picked is an EXILE -
What the Fuck?! I can't believe Survior gets a talkback. I mean what the fuck is there to talk about? Why not make a fucking jepordy talkback? Or a fucking Wheel of Forturne talkback? This is just fucking insulting to give Survivor a Talkback and not give House one. Even Ghost Whisperer deserves a talkback more than Survivor.

He's probably frantically trying to make seaweed cigarettes.

"...one alliance member proves unafraid to publicize his alliance to the tribe

reminds me of Richard Lewis. Anyone else see this?
-
by contract

Need more hot chicks getting naked. Of course they will try and blur that out, but if you squint really hard you can sometimes make out a nipple. Also put some flesh eating zombies on the island. Mix it up a little.
-
Last one alive wins. Now THAT I would watch. High school type cliques on an island is boring.
-
Is this show still relevant or somkething?
-
Or there will be hell to pay.

Tonight's episode, was really something special. I know I go on and on about how good this show is, but watching tonights installment, I actually questioned whether I was watching Smallville. It was that good. X-files good. If they go ahead with Erica Durance being Lois Lane and not having Chloe assuming her identity would be a real shame. Tonight proved that Allison Mack is way to good to let go. And she by far has the most chemistry with Tom Welling than any of the other leads. Once again, this week deserved a spotlight. And you'll see that I'm right, once you see the pitifull amount of responses in this talkback. I can't be the only one that feels this way. How can you overlook this show? Especially when it's future is sketchy, with the movie, and the merger, and whatnot. It deserves just as much attention on this site as 24 and Lost.
-
The Smallville talkbacks are right behind Lost and 24 in feedback. You need to just give these shows their own special columns each week. Seriousley Herc, why take up "valuable bandwith" with shows that not many will wanna talk about? I know Survivor does well in the ratings, and occasionally the talkbacks are busy, but there are tons of shows you put up that gets jack squat. How about just doing a "Herc's TV Picks and Pans" talkback. That way it would free up space for the shows that deserve attention. Just a suggestion.
-
It ranks fourth behind Lost, 24, and SNL. But SNL shouldn't count because we do play-by-play for that.
-
My wife pointed it out first and then I noticed it.
-
It just kicked the bucket. *sigh*
-
and a DVD Recorder for my HDTV with comcast and ondemand and all the channels. saw the superbowl in HD. So same here. rest in peace VCR

He's found out there is an alliance of four in his tribe that he's not a part of. If he's smart he'll teach them a lesson for playing their hand too early. I love it when bad players get what's coming to them. :)
-
...go insane and fake kidnapping Sun to help Sawyer get his hands on the guns!! And Cerie is a tool.
-
but they did have zombies. Teams had to put the zombie head on the zombie body to win immunity.
-
They;ve got season 5 as 1999 listed when it came out...
-
nothing here. just wanted to make that pun. thanks.
-
they could rip Jeff's head off and use it as a cannon ball in the next reward challenge huzzah!
-
Stoopid people...I just wanted to scream at the screen. One big goof-ball after another -- nice drop of the spear, nice crying about going home cuz ya' miss the ciggies, nice can't make fire on Skull Island, nice annoying girl that says "like" every 2nd word... I have a headache.
-
I actually like Herc's selection of what shows get talkbacks. 24 and Lost are the only two shows I REALLY want to have talkbacks. I've decided to watch Survivor this season so I'm cool with there being a talkback but if people want a Smallville talkback then I say GIVE THEM ONE! Judging by the number of responses here people don't care to talk about this show. At least not yet.
