Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 21 2012 07:48 AM

Anyone? (minor spoilers in next graf) Minutes into the first episode, they haven't even made camp yet, and Kent appears to blow out his knee. As his team "survives" the first week, they didn't elaborate, but imagine if they bothered to introduce it in the first 15 minutes of the season we haven't heard the last of it. He's trying to keep his identity a secret from his teammates but one of them has recognized him (which seems to me to be an obvious leverage for an alliance but she hasn't broached it yet). Blair Warner is on a different team, and just one of her stupid teammates has made her yet. I can tell already this season will be a battle between my interest in seeing Jeff Kent play Survivor and my tolerance for that irritating black-haired biotch with the huge fake yabbos.

I watched only because of him....you know, it's still a good show. Kent seems perfect for the show, he's a scheming fucker, playing like he's a good ole boy(Texas Farm), born and raised in Cali though.......and of course he is no stranger to weird injuries. this is the 25th season?, hard to believe.

Best show on television.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 21 2012 09:26 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

They do two seasons a year, so the seasons pile up more quickly than with other shows. I made it through the first six "seasons" or so, but then I just couldn't stand it anymore.

MFS62 Sep 21 2012 09:53 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

If they sneak a few of his ex-teammates in there, I guarantee Kent won't survive. Later

Vic Sage Sep 21 2012 10:02 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

i watched the first season, and haven't been able to scrub it off sufficiently to ever want to watch it again. I don't even allow my kids to watch it, preferring them to watch torture porn or "Jersey Shore".

I watched last week only to see Lisa Welchsel. The little blonde who wanted cookies was a hoot

soupcan Oct 05 2012 10:58 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

Lisa Welchel is still hot.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 05 2012 11:29 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

She strikes me as maybe someone who won't flaunt her boobage for religious reasons.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 05 2012 05:09 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

Minor spoliers: The tribes merged and Jeff Kent made the curious move of jumping from the head role on his alliance to join the "power" alliance, but on the bottom. This is because he's scared of the returning guys winning. Innnnteresting.

Thank god that SOB Kent and the black haired biotch are gone. Though seeing them both last night made me ill. Still only 2 people know who Blair is, one of whom is gonna have her top off any second now. Gotta say I still don't get what the heck she is fretting over. Is there any particular reason why Abi doesn't have to DO anything? She is good at griping, I'll say that for her.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 15 2012 02:52 PM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

Did you watch until the end? Turns out after all that energy Blair Warner wasted, she didn't flip on the assholes, but Skupin did. I said before that Abi is the dumbest player since Dreamz but I might have to amend that. She's dumber, and probably more worthless in that Dreamz at least was a strong physical player and also likably stupid. Kent was a jerk but was one of the more interesting guys. Doesn;t Penner remind you of Bobby Valentine? He's got that same way of expressing confidence in his voice that makes people hate him. But he's intelligent and a good competitor too. I got Malcolm winning the $$, with the muscular girl and perhaps Penner as co-finalists.

cooby Nov 15 2012 02:57 PM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

Yes!!! That's who that voice reminds me of! Thank you! I commented to my husband last night "why do they make poor Lisa, who is probably pushing 50, do some of this stuff when Abi looks like she might at least have more stamina?" Well, maybe not in those exact words. Good for Lisa though, she may be somewhat slow at stuff but she toughs it out and does it. I like your final three, Malcolm reminds me of my son, Denise of one of my friends that I used to work with and Penner is creepy but you're probably right. My husband is betting Lisa bows out because she can't take the mental strain of being mean, lol...I would have the same problem...

cooby Nov 21 2012 07:23 PM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

Okay, now I feel sorry for Abi...am I being a sucker?

seawolf17 Nov 21 2012 07:42 PM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

This was the first reality she's shown tonight. There are some cultural differences there, for sure, although the episode overplayed them. I'm sure Abi's well-liked by her friends at home. But these are not her friends from home. This is a TV show. And "TV Abi" is completely unlikeable.

cooby Dec 06 2012 09:56 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

A little confused now.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Dec 06 2012 10:54 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

That was uncool to vote off that kid. To a degree its his own fault for not moving to effect things himself sooner, and for not winning immunity. But still, all of them look a little dirty now.

cooby Dec 06 2012 12:07 PM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

They should stop griping about Abi

cooby Feb 13 2013 08:31 PM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

Malcolm is back! I did not know that until today. That poor guy with the sunburn.

seawolf17 Mar 07 2013 07:38 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

Every time they show Reynold, by the way, I think "JCL?"

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 07 2013 07:52 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

Yeah if I were slim and young and handsome. I'm kind of mad at Survivor for this trend toward casting people precisely because they're aggressively antisocial idiots (Abi, the fat guy from last night, and from next week's sneak preview, Brandon). I mean, it's obvious all three are/were mentally ill, severely even. The Specialist is insane too but harmlessly so. I know they do it for drama but it's really overwhelming and dominates the whole storyline to the point where the season just sucks so far. That said, I'll watch to see if Cochran can take it all.

seawolf17 Mar 07 2013 07:57 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

You've got a good point. I honestly still think it's the best show on television. You could do sociological studies on it. But they do overthink themselves sometimes, although I also wonder if sometimes people you think will hack it out there (Shamar) just go soft. Brandon never would have made it on the show if it wasn't for his uncle, because he's just not interesting at all.

HahnSolo Mar 07 2013 01:12 PM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

How can last night be discussed without tiny island superman, and his efforts to improve camp while simultaneously scoring some sexy time with the Favorites tribe women?

seawolf17 Mar 07 2013 01:18 PM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

That guy was awesome. I always love when they either bring locals to camp or bring the castaways into the local village. Hilarity.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 07 2013 01:25 PM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

Tiny Island Superman should start his own chain of restaurants or rice products.

cooby Mar 08 2013 05:28 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

"woodland creature" made me laugh. Really, that guy was a Marine? My husband and I discussed what could you do if you had someone like Brandon around. You don't want your team to lose just so you could vote him off.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 17 2013 09:05 PM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

Now that was a great tribal council. Overcoming a 7-3 deficit and destabilizing the dominant group by taking out its arrogant leader. Cochran is right when he said votes changing at tribal is so rare; only Eric's did tonight and he barely has a clue any night. Well told by CBS since we didn't know whether that was really a "find" by Malcom or a plant of his existing idol for show.

cooby Apr 18 2013 07:25 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

THe Dawn thing was quite easily settled, lol...

seawolf17 Apr 18 2013 07:53 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

Still the best show on television. That was awesome last night.

cooby Apr 25 2013 08:54 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

Disappointed that Malcolm is gone. Found this on his facebook page though, enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMrJxVW0wCw

cooby May 12 2013 03:43 PM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

Last night is tonight. Really really pissed about Brenda. Dawn can kiss my ass. I am now hoping that Eric wins, or (god forbid but who else?) Eddie. Christ if it came down to it Sherri would be better than Dawn or Cochrane.

seawolf17 May 13 2013 08:10 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

Still, after all these years, the best show on television.

seawolf17 May 13 2013 08:20 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

Fair enough. I've always been fascinated by the psychology/sociology of it. If I was a little more academic, I'd be Cochran; I don't have the time or the focus to write a graduate thesis about the show, but I wish I could.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 13 2013 08:35 AM Re: Survivor, Starring Jeff Kent

Hats off to Cochrane, who played a very good game and got lucky too, who knows where he'd have been without winning 2 challenge advantages and seeing his only credible opponent go out due to health reasons. There was a couple of great moments this year but it wasn't my favorite season by a long shot. Too much bullshit from the crazies at the start and the elimination drama peaked too soon. Plus a lot of gimmicky stuff.
