Survivor Live with Jo, Wanda & Jon

Survivor Live, the Internet Talk Show
Guests: Jolanda, Wanda and Jonathan
Host: Dalton Ross (Entertainment Weekly)

WandaComments made by Wanda
She called Willard a curmudgeon several times (not that there's anything wrong with that). She thinks Survivor wanted a younger cast (I disagree. I don't think this one is any younger than previous casts.) Wanda admired Jonathan and Stephenie for trying to swim. Coby and Caryn developed a brother-sister relationship. (That explains why he didn't pick Angie.) Naturally she sung several times.

JolandaComments made by Jolanda
Jolanda also claimed the age difference was a problem. She mentioned several times about the twenty-somethings. Like about the young women who just wanted to talk about make-up. (Do either of these two women realize that Tom (41), Willard (57), Caryn (46) and Janu (39) didn't seem to have a problem?) Jolanda and Wanda seemed to have a mutual appreciation for each other. Jo said America has really missed out not getting to know Wanda better (Jo was almost in tears). If she didn't get voted off, Jolanda's plan was to be honest and truthful in winning the million dollar prize. Coby is a real student of Survivor. He's seen and studied all the prior shows.

Re: last nights episode
Jolanda claims the group together made the decision to try and take all of the crates in the Immunity/Reward challenge. Furthermore she says they were only 15 seconds behind Koror when they got to the beach. They lost Immunity by not rowing the outrigger canoe as a team, not because of all the crates. (Although as James pointed out at tribal council, they were dumb-asses for forgetting the fire crate.) Jeff proclaimed experience with outrigger canoes so they were all following his lead. Jolanda ate four grasshoppers not just the one that was aired. Also she was having trouble eating the day before and even threw up. She understands Koror choosing the new camp site, their original shelter wasn't that developed.

Not shown:
Kim targeting Wanda because of her age and Jolanda defending her. Jolanda and Janu dancing together show-girl style.

JonathanComments made by Jonathan
Jonathan said that he was hungry and when he's hungry he's unhappy. (And presumably not in a talkative mood. Now that explains a lot.) He didn't tell the others about being a cancer survivor.

Odds and Ends
Jenna Morasca, Amazon Sole Survivor, will start co-hosting next week. CBS will air the first episode again Saturday night.



From Another Online Chat
(not affiliated with CBS or Survivor; they will remain nameless because of the poor audio quality and the lack of interesting information. I want that thirty minutes of my life back.)

Jeff Probst did have few interesting comments. The ocean around Survivor Palau was so clear that underwater photography wasn't a problem at all. So look for more underwater challenges. There are more "Survivor firsts" in Survivor Palau than in any other edition of Survivor.
