9/18 Show Discussion **Spoilers**

[Silverstar]

I just watched the show today!
Nice start!
*jumping on the Rupert bandwagon*
I was when the Morgan tribe finally realized that there was a specific place to find water!
Did they ever watch that show before???
Oh, and they feared the crabs, but never though about maybe eating them? Later on, I think they did but come on!!!!
Michelle & Trish seem very likeable, and so is Ryan O. But he may turn out to be something else

Oh, one thing I forgot to mention that cracked me up. I know we've talked a lot about Shawn and Burton snubbing Christa with the coconut milk, but I thought it was even funnier that he had to say, "Aaah! So sweet!" or whatever he said. Yeah, let's not just deny over half the tribe this coconut milk, but let's also rub it in by wildly celebrating its delicious flavor. Why not just pour it all over your face at that point? Extravagant wastefulness would really drive the point home, wouldn't it?

That was something else wasn't it?

I can't figure out why any of the contestants would do anything like that so early on.

Well, actually it would seem odd at any point in the game, but I could see a cockiness of thinking your in an unbeatable aliance. If that's the case I could at least understand the mentality behind it.

Was this an intended pun?

what wood you be referring too?

So when they came to the obstacle made of thin logs, did only one team have to take that down while the other team just ran through the now opened barrier? I think they should have had two courses, side by side. After taking down the barrier, your team would be more tired than the team that just ran through, so the team that took down the barrier had to work harder.

That bothered me too. They definitely should have had two courses side by side. I was happy with who won, but the challenge just didn't seem evenly dispersed.

Good one!

I'm thinking the coconut scene was heavily edited. Where did the coconut come from? Are they growing there? Then there'd be plenty of coconuts to go around if you wanted some. Plus, it didn't look like the one coconut held enough juice to go around anyway.

It's not like they were already starving/dying of thirst and that was the last coconut. C'mon girls, get your own coconut.

after watching the tape of the show again- it does show 2 separate wood obstacles side by side- so it was even race. I highly doubt that MB and company would do that to favor one teams its actually against FCC rules.

I don't think Andrew and Ryan O. took off their underwear in any show of solidarity (like they said), but that these alpha-males don't want anyone to get ahead. If Osten went buff solo, he'd stand out and they went along in a "anything you can do I can do better" moment. If one of those three had a plan at the time to go in the woods and get wood or something, I'm sure the other two would go as to not let any of them get ahead or do any scheming. Any big disagreement could split them up and force a real power play in Morgan.
