10/27 Show discussion *Spoilers*

You can pick up all that stuff on your hands, too. In fact, hands are generally the filthiest thing on the human body, but hugging, shaking hands, holding hands, thumb-wrestling, arm-wrestling - not too many people have an issue with these. And money? People love money, but there are few filthier things on the planet. Fabio's urine is really the least of any of those people's problems.

I do! And youre absolutely correct, hands are disgusting and people don't realize how often they touch their eyes, ears and mouths with loads of bacteria just waiting to enter!
All of my friends make fun of me because I am so over the top with anti-bacterial cleansers and washing my hands with mild soap for really long periods (I use mild soap so I'm not constantly using "anti-bacterial" items) but I rarely get sick!
For example, at a restaurant people (hopefully) wash their hands before they eat, but then they pick up the shakers, ketchup, etc..., all things that the yucky person before them just grabbed--and voila!--you have whatever was lurking on their nasty hands (including, most likely, fecal/waste product since most people do not wash correctly).

So, my friends may think im over-the-top but I'm not sticking all that nastiness in my body!

Back to Survivor, there was a salt water pool and everyone was concerned about him peeing? Have they been in the ocean? I'm so angry that I missed this show!

Yes, hands can pick up (pun intended) all kinds of bacteria and virii.

The human mouth is also bacteria-ridden enough that medical pros have said that it is better to get bitten by an animal (unless they have rabies) than a human.

It's a wonder we're all still alive, LOL.

It still bugs me (pun intended) that many public places have to post signs in the bathrooms "All employees must wash hands before returning to work". Duh? Hello?

Just thinking about making it a frequent practice to shake hands with people (especially men) gives me the heebie jeebies. Not bashing men, but you know.

It was a very small pool that looked to be constructed especially for the challenge. My best guess is 10' x 14' (small). The water was brownish. I'm still thinking the "peeing" scene was staged and scripted for the water cooler factor.

They did not announce that it was a salt water pool, nor any other details about the source/quality of the water in it.

I truly think Marty had to roll the dice and give up the idol- he really had no choice. Keep it and definitely get voted out on the revote or give it up and hope Sash might save him.

If he had played the idol, Jill would have gone and I don't think there would have been a revote. The votes against the person who plays the idol don't count.

[Maybaybie]

Oh...duh!! You are right! I had it right in my own head, but didn't get it right when it hit the keyboard!

[Annastasia B]

Well... I said it before and I'll say it again.... this has got to be the dumbest
group of survivor's ever on this show. it seems Jane is the only one who has actually ever watched an episode of Survivor.

I'm bored with this group now. Probably done watching this season.

[sweetpea]

I'm bored too. I don't usually bother posting because I forget the show right after it is over. They really dropped the ball with the casting this time around. *blah*

This will continue to happen as long as they recruit people are deemed "camera" ready. Survivor is known for casting models and wanna be actors instead of everyday people who have an ounce of sense and know how to play the game!

I'm not enjoying the challenges this season. Too random. I could understand making them less physical when we had old v. young, but that wasn't needed after the merger.

Still haven't mergered only swapped.

There would have been a revote if Marty decided to keep the idol, they would have given Marty 3 votes, Jill 2 votes and then Jane would have had 2 votes and it would have been the revote with the 2 of them.. and Jill leaving still. I think that was the plan off the bat.
