Eps 6 & 7: Double Boot, THEN the Recrap? WTF?

It's almost time for a proper episode of Survivor. The good thing about the Recrap Episode is having a week off. We'll get to the bad things about the Recrap in a moment.

CAO BOI

AmberKnecht heard Paula Cole's Where Have all the Cowboys Gone? right after the show: "Because I was still celebrating his elimination, the alternate words just popped into my head."

Dude you are so crazy
Complained the girls are lazy
While watching them comparing their pits
You worship Tengeroa
And prove that you don't know the Diff'rence
'twixt Shinola and shits
They won't vote you off next,
if you'll just shut your yap
Where is my champagne?
They voted off Anh-tuan
They'd rather keep their bad winds
Just as long as Cao Boi's gone


CHRISTINA

Cristina also got booted, but nobody wrote a song parody about her.
However, one of the vote papers:


inspired Remote33 to start a thread, "What other votes would Jenny cast?" It's up to 18 pages. Here are a handful of entries:

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
Although Jenny's Votes kept everyone busy, Episode 6's Pole Challenge inspired a handful of motivational posters:

KIDNAPPING NATE

love me or leave me started a thread about the decision to kidnap Nate, "Should Aitu have taken Cristina?": Oh yeah, let's capture a guy who isn't in jeopardy and is still gonna keep their tribe strong once he goes back instead of the weak Cristina which would obviously throw the other tribe into a tizzy and leave them with a weaker member for the next IC. Dumbasses.

The posters took it from there:

Mega64: Fucking morons. Nothing but idiots playing this season.

Strange Frute: They should have chosen Cristina so she'd be safe. Damn!

kmill: I imagine that members of Aitu will try to make deals with him, which would probably be the only beneficial decision they could make. I wish they would have taken Jenny, that would've been interesting.

The Marquesan Godfather: Well, the whities probably want Adam's plans to work out, so why take away his boot choice?

Will: Let's see, take somebody when they already have enough strength to crush them or somebody that the tribe hates. Or did they not take Cristina because they didn't want her on their tribe either?

WylDawg: They would've been fucking scrambling for their lives had they chose X-Tina instead. There was just no excuse for such stupidity.

Piranhahaha: No kidding. If anything was obvious from listening in on that TC was that Cristina was despised. Plus he's arguably their best physical threat. That is easily one of the stupidest decisions ever made in this game.

The Marquesan Godfather: Candice and Jonathan plan on reuniting with Adam at the merge. There's no reason to take away his boot choice and cause a giant scramble.

growsonwalls: You know I'm wondering if they wanted to use some reverse psychology. Like bring Nate over, and isolate him from the tribe, so they'll vote him out next TC because they don't trust him??? That's the only reason I can think of for such a dumb decision.

shoeless rye: Maybe Aitu realized that Cristina was the strongest female on Raro and if they were going to cannibalize her, who were they to stop them? I mean if they saved Cristina, Raro would have just booted a weaker female and thus would have made them stronger. Basically, Cristina being booted was a good thing for Aitu, so why mess that up and maybe see a Jenny or Rebecca boot.


OZZY

"Recap sucks"
The dumbed down recrap had the words "New Scene" on every tidbit of new material, so nobody could use the excuse that they couldn't tell the difference between the actual recrap and the ne'er before seen stuff. Because, you know, without the labelling who could tell?

The only thing that was really new was learning Nate was approached to help boot JP. So at least now we know he wanted to stick out like a sore thumb, and wasn't deliberately left out of the loop. He sure was determined to get rid of Stephannie.

fsmdud started a thread: They just spent 10 minutes showing us a useless black fat ass who kept falling out of a boat. The invisible losers are still invisible. Bring back Fatricia and Janet and BB.

kmill: They snubbed Cece... this fucking sucks.

Mega64: More Ryan Shoulders, please.

WylDawg: Recraps are always bad but this one was particularly shitty. They've only showed extensions of stuff we already knew (i.e JP getting blindsided, X-Tina bitching).

pjadedd: It did show that CaoBoi is a hypocrite. From the first time the episode aired and tonight, it certainly looked like he was all for voting off Becky. Then, he's pissed Puka voted him off. STFU, ass!

WylDawg: ^ Good point. Seriously, what's the fucking point of having a double TC if you're gonna have a recrap the following week? Doesn't that cancel out the double boot? So you might as well have two regular one-boot episodes IMO.

garblue: I never thought of that. Is this the first season where there was a double boot and a recap? Vanuatu, Palau, and Guatemala all had double boots, and I don't think any of them had a recap.

teenytiny83: Ozzy is the new Rupert. He doesnt have a storyline beyond the fishing thing.

growsonwalls: Wow this recrap was really that: a recrap. Not nearly as good as last year's.

SurvivorFan429: Only person we heard more out of was Rebecca and to a smaller extent Candice and Adam. The rest were ignored, and the usual suspects were featured (Cao Boi, Jonathan, Yul, Nate, Parvati).

terrysucks: I watched Ugly Betty instead.

Sunshine8503: Me, too!

notremojo: Every other thing was about STEPHANNIE?? Are you kidding me CBS??

Phantom Nut Syndrome: LAME, this season sucks, why extend it by a week? Bastards.

fat chubber: Yes, but we got an even better look at Adumb's blinding stupidity. Seriously, he was looking in the fucking plant for the hidden idol.

bluelaker: I WAS SO BORED WATCHING THIS SHIT I WAS STICKING PENCILES IN MY EYE.. WHAT LAME GARBAGE..

boredmale: They should have not had the double tribal council last week if they going to show shit like this. Why is this recap so early into the season.

The Marquesan Godfather: Oh, this recap did suck. I haven't looked at any spoilers, but basically, every episode, the boot has been easy to figure out, and now we had to sit through them again. So lame.

willsucks402: I was all excited to get off of work and watch my tape of the show. Then i see it was a recap??? FUCBS .

Syoma: Nothing interesting on this recap. It's already a recap and still.. Lots of them are Darrah Johnsoned.

cabanachat: Worst. Recrap. EVER.
