Survivor Micronesia: Life at Ponderosa

Thanks for posting all the videos Pheonix. You know, Jason sounded like he was actually close to playing the idol although we didn't even get a hint of that at tribal council. I wonder if there was any truth to that. It is good to see Ozzy and Jason getting along. It would be funny if Parv was voted out next. It sounds like Ozzy might not be as accepting of her presence!

[quote=Pheonix12;10948]Lol. That would add some drama for the next Life at Ponderosa.[/quote] To bad there is no chance of that happening. James, Eric (or Amanda) next week....and the week after and the week after....

I do not like Cerie. I just simply can not stand the woman. BUT... if she outwits, outlasts and outplays the others to make it to the end, I'll applaud her for doing what smarter, stronger and more skilled players could not do, and I will respect her for it all. Survivor is not a fan popularity contest; to make it one shames the purity of the game, the cast, and the fans.

[quote]Survivor is not a fan popularity contest; to make it one shames the purity of the game, the cast, and the fans.[/quote]My biggest issue is that the game is called "Survivor." There should be something to do with literal surviving involved with the format. In the old days if you did nothing around camp, could not fish etc - you were voted off. It was an advantage to a tribe to keep stronger players so they could get more food etc and that would help in them as a group sticking around and having the numbers at the merge. These days outdoors survival has nothing to do with it. They seem to have all the fresh drinking water they need, bags of rice, and it looks like their camps have been outfitted by LL Bean, with machetes, tarps, pillows, pots, pans, fishing gear et al. This is why Cirie is still around. There is no longer any survival in Survivor. I guess I can't blame her for taking advantage of the fact that the spirit of the show has been diluted. I just wish they would re-evaluate the game and bring back the importance of winning rather then make losing a preferred outcome (to get rid of all your competition at no cost.)

Producers just can't let the game play out now as they did in most earlier seasons. That said, I'm going to the finale anyway. Wouldn't miss it, no matter who wins.

[QUOTE=Pheonix12;11017]You are going to the finale?! That would be awsome. I haven't ever been to a reality show finale....considering I live in Kentucky and most of the finale's take place in California. lol.[/QUOTe] The finale alternates between LA and NY. This season it is in NY at the David Letterman Theatre (It's the old "Ed Sullivan Theatre.) Can't possibly miss it since I have a couple of friends in this cast.

how does one get tix to this type of event? It's live right? I'd love to go!

Hey would that be Colbalt Ontario, Canada? By any chance? I live just over an hour away from there. Guess that would explain a lot about me, eh? ;) Anyway, I think the live show is going to be explosive just like it was on the all-star season. I definitely want the deets of what happens during the commercial breaks.

I realize I may have walked with out looking into a double meaning here, so please be kind. ;) I just saw the sign and I say hey that's Cobalt. LOL

Just to Clarify: [SIZE=-1]A [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glory_hole_%28mining%29"][B]**********[/B][/URL] is a type of mine. In the western United States during the Gold Rush days, independent miners who did not have the finances to dig a conventional mine shaft would dig a shaft straight down to try to find a gold seam. These perpendicular shafts became known as "glory holes". [I]...although I am sure there are [B][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glory_hole_%28sexual%29"]other conotations[/URL][/B] for the word. Its just the context there is hilarious![/I][/SIZE][SIZE=-1] [/SIZE]

[quote=Pheonix12;11105]Well survivor comes on tonight and I am hoping to have Cirie, Parvatie, or Nat. on the next Life at Ponderosa. :) It would be great if one of them went home! ESPECIALLY CIRIE![/quote] I am with you there, but don't get your hopes up, lol! :wink2:

Part of me wants tell you to ***k yourself...but I don't wanna ruin the good vibes of the forum. **** response, though. seriously.

I don't fully understand your hostile and unnecessary sarcasm towards me...but whatever. No one wants to read this BS anyways. And neither do I.

Sooooooooooooooo back to the original question, CBS did a contest for tix but it ended yesterday. Someone on Yahoo Answers said to keep an eye out on CBS, though its likely too late now. Aaaand another posting I read says the in-studio audience is rather small and mostly media, family, friends, etc. Seems like a simple answer.

The earlier image was [B][I]not a reply to you [/I][/B]but, as I mentioned, It was an [B][I]allegory[/I][/B] on how one gets tickets to these things... by performing an unnatural sexual act illegal in some states.

[quote=V1man;11158]... by performing an unnatural sexual act illegal in some states.[/quote] ....but seemingly the status quo in Cobalt Canada? :yes:
