Survivor Season 42: Starts Wednesday March 9, 2022 (2 Viewers)

Last week I ate spicy instant Korean ramen at home as I watched TV from my couch. I verbalized how dizzy the spice was making me, but I was sitting on my butt at home and didn't pass out so it wasn't dramatic. I can see Lauren's episode playing out exactly as they showed it.
What's interesting is she said "I am about to black out" right before she did. That makes me wonder if this has happened to her before, that she had blacked out before and remembered how she felt right before it happened so she knew it was happening.

The video effect when she passed out was stupid and unnecessary.
It also eliminated any drama for me, as a viewer. I immediately thought, "No way is this a serious thing/injury if they did that."

My wife has blacked out a few times and she knows the symptoms and when it is about to happen.  It is usually when a combination of too hot, no food, pain/stress all hitting in some combination.  It's scary as hell as it is happening. 

The worst time was after she had an amnio done with our second kid.  We were driving home after and she starts to black out.  We were about 30 minutes away from any hospital.  I had to pull over turn the air on full blast and then she came out of it.  She never fully went out but she said it was all black and she couldn't see anything.  She was very clammy.  Scary stuff.

 
yea blacking out is a messed up experience, you know its coming and there is nothing you can do.   And you feel like an ### for whatever reason after you come too...

 
Those two dudes brought up the loved ones episode waaaaay to much.   Wish they would have voted out the other guy, he's annoying as all hell.
My family was joking that it would be awesome if the guy was on the exit trail walking up to the sign, expecting something about edge of extinction and instead finding it says, "Enjoy seeing your loved ones. Bye."

 
I've only blacked out once in my life.  It was towards the end of baseball practice in college and we had been running all day.  We had come over to the coach and he was talking to us before letting us go for the day and all of a sudden the edges of my viewing area began to close in white.  I tried to blink it away and then began to feel dizzy.  Not spinning, but dizzy.  I turned to my buddy and said, "I think I'm going to pass out."  

Next thing I remember was staring in the sky and everyone gathered around me.  Guess I was out a couple of seconds.  When I came to, I felt fine.  They said I dropped like a rock.  

So I don't find it odd the way it happened.  It was very similar to my experience and I had never fainted before.

Gotcha. I have never had it happen to me, so I have no idea how conscious you are of what's happening to you. Thanks for the info.

I can't say for everyone, but for me I was definitely aware.  Honestly, I don't think I really thought I would pass out.  It was more just what you say when you feel dizzy.  Kind of how like when your stomach feels queasy and you go, "Ooo.  I feel like I'm going to throw up."  Most times you don't.  But I totally called my shot that time.  I was like the Babe Ruth of passing out.

Did you point to the ground?

 
You said you were the Babe Ruth of passing out. Babe called his shot by pointing to the outfield. ChiefD was asking if you did the same by pointing at the ground.
I'm just saying I called my shot like he did.  But, technically, my hands were pointed at the ground.  Look, there's no footage of either Babe or me calling my shot.  So reports can be a little murky.

 
How many tribal counsels has Julie been to? 3? And she has a breakdown?  :mellow:  

Nice work by Rick putting a wedge into those cracks  :thumbup:

 
Holy Crap!  Is that the first time we ever had a commercial break in the middle of tribal?

Don't remember anything like that.  Of course, I've drank a lot watching Survivor over the years...

Yeah,  I was watching them walk in for the challenge and Jeff said it was for immunity and I was thinking, there's a lot of time left in the show still.  After the challenge, there was still 30 minutes left and I was seriously wondering if there was gonna be another extinction challenge.

I've seen every episode of this show and I cannot remember a commercial break in the middle of tribal before.

Julie was quite clueless telling people to shut up.

Too bad David used the idol, but I don't blame him one bit.

 
Interesting TC.  Kudos to Kelley and Lauren for continuing to hang on to their idols.  

Julie is a basket case.  Totally unhinged when she isn't in control.  Favorite line of the episode was from her... "I don't want to make this about me."  Too late sister.  

Devens blowing things up at TC and I guess Julia got what she deserved by opening her mouth.

Almost surprised that Rick and Dave didn’t hold onto their idol, but without all the editing I’d assume that Kelly and Lauren knew for sure that they weren’t a target. Once Rick and Julia squared off, the target was off Kelly’s back and she knew it. Aurora has no clue so she still voted for Kelly. Julia acted like a tool and got what she deserved. Even her be nice to each other speech at the end was so see through and shallow. Look at me, I’ll act like a jerk but then I’ll show everyone how sweet I am.

Julie breaking down was hysterical. Also, Aurora and Julie are so bad at this game and the only ones left with 0 chance. Aurora is completely clueless as to what’s actually happening and Julie is just a complete mess. 

 
I've seen a lot of guys like wardog before....total wannabee....yeah he might have hit the gym before the show, and he walks into a room like he is something special but he doesn't have an athletic bone in his body when push comes to shove....yet in his head he is one of the "studs"....he really doesn't realize how unathletic he is....my kids and I laugh when my wife tries to throw something, it's kind of cruel but when she does we bust into about 20 minutes of doing impersonations of her.....but wardog makes her look like Roger Clemens...

Yeah, can't stand the guy. Now in the next episode we are going to have to listen to him talk about how he engineered a blind side on Julia during an epic tribal and went from the bottom to the top .

 
What would have really been awesome is if David would have gave his idol to Julie and David and his buddy voted somebody else out.

She and the puppet master and their sad little meltdowns.. yah jeez do you think it's obvious the "kids" were absolutely right not to count on you as tribe "leadership"?

These people are all insufferable tools.  I'm wishing for a whole episode over at Reem's place now

It'd be fun if this was back in play to be found again.

Yeah you can't blame them for using the idol.  David asked what was the plan and Wentworth said "Vote you out."

And she stole that from Jerry freaking Springer.

 
The extinction island thing really takes some of the juice out of tribal council blindsides

You neverrrrrrrr straight up belittle someone at tribal..... It almost always comes back to bite you

 
I doubt they created extinction island just to cut costs, but I'd imagine its a nice side-benefit. Now they dont need to put the jury up in some cush digs and feed them after they get kicked off. Just stick them on a different island with some rice and keep filming.   :moneybag:

Id like to see them mesh ponderosa  and this.  Have them all go to ponderosa.  But those that want a chance to get back in the game sleep on the beach and eat what they catch, etc.  But they can still see the others at ponderosa relaxing and eating and drinking and enjoying themselves. 

 
Julie (paraphrasing) "I don't want to come off as some lunatic"

10mins later she goes full psycho in tribal.  Nice projection there, soccer mom ( :lol:  Aurora calling her that)

 
Bad news for those of you who hate returning players: rumor is that Survivor 40, the season that will air a year from now starting in February 2020, will start filming this summer with all returning players. 

But, specifically, they will all be winners. All 18 will have won the million already. 
I'm not a big fan of returning players but this will be interesting.  Looking forward.

I like returning players as long as they are all returning players.
