I'm sure that if Sugar had said something like that so someone, she so would've expected being flipped off.


I hope this is sarcasm? Either they just edited him catastrophically wrong but his entire time on Gabon, it seemed like looks were everything to Ken. Both of his picks when he got to pick tribesmates were purely on looks.
And the fact Kelly would obviously go before him.

"flicka" means "girl" in swedish :O wtf, i had no idea that could be a name
I'm getting curious as to how you can be worse then Sugar though... D= in what way? Random attention whoring decision making? Being really emotional all the time?(<-i don't blame sugar for that tho) or both? (or neither?)
Sugar and Flicka were both emotional players, but there was one fundamental difference between the two: Flicka did not want to play the game. She did not like it when certain players "thought too much", so she made it a point to take out such players so that she would not have to think. She was incredibly lazy in that respect. It eventually came back to bite her. She had no game plan. Sugar at least formed a few alliances and aided in players like Ken getting father. Sugar made several emotional flops, but she didn't play Flicka's lazy game.

Have you seen season 13? There is a player named Jessica who goes by the alias Flicka during the show. She admits in her confessional after being voted off that she really never started playing the game. Her strategy was to simply target the thinkers so that she would not have to think.

I haven't but I would love to. :)

I guess this "Flicka" girl must have been emotional just as much as Sugar was, but the major difference is that she was not a very smart thinker, therefore she wanted to take out all the smart players out first, am I right?

Sugar wasn't exactly the sharpest player, but she at least played the game. She joined alliances (albeit temporarily) and knew how to make a difference. Flicka would essentially put Tribal Council out of her mind entirely. She wanted to vote out Jonathan because he was thinking too much (playing the game). When she was in danger suddenly, she ran around frantically trying to target Jonathan again. She was not spared because she lacked a game plan.

There is no such site (AFAIK). Only torrent. There's a private tracker for which you need an invitation that has many /if not all) of the previous seasons with high speeds (I'm currently re-watching China).

So your best bet would probably be torrents in general.

I see, by any chance do you know where I could find this episode? oh wait nevermind.


http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Ddvd&field-keywords=survivor&x=7&y=11

Don't ask me how I knew they had been released on DVD prior to making this search.
I'll ask again, how did you know? ;)
kidding lol...
but seriously this looks interesting, thanks.
:bee:

Torrents huh, I have a bunch of those, unfortunetly I don't know of any such site where I could get them since it's been a long time since I actually used a Bittorrent program so... :(

Nice sig btw.

any word about how ken is doing now that survivor's completely done?
None, yet, though I do occasionaly spot his name lurking on SWF which is strange as he doesn't post.

but yeah, Gabon was one of the best shows i've seen in a while, Bob and Matty were priceless.

My wife and I agree that Gabon was a fairly bland season. I liked the players, but the landscape was incredibly boring. Grassy hills with a river and a few trees is all that is there. Sure, there was some wildlife that you don't see everyday, but as was mentioned, the prebuilt shelters partially ruined the Survivor experience. There was no rain or wind.

For me it was the opposite. The season was enjoyable, with plenty of blindsides and drama, but the characters weren't that likable.

Gabon was definetly had a bland environment, the players and challenges were fun and all, but the atmosphere seemed really boring, but let's looks at it on the bright side, at least the next season KDJ won't be on a bland atmosphere such as 'Kenny' was.

The only "natural disaster" made evident in Gabon was the onslaught of bug bites (and the occasional leeches). I don't know about anyone else, but my Eden would not have biting bugs in it... ever...

Yeah, I was all "Why is it raining so much?!" when I watched Survivor: Micronesia (Fans vs. Favorites) where it literally rained at least once every other episode. And I don't mean droplets, I mean monsoon-ish.

They could've at least had an elephant stampede through a camp.

They can't exactly control wild animals...but I'm sure they could've made it happen anyway. Would've been kind of dangerous, don't ya think?

Dangerous indeed, but for the thrill and fun of seeing Corrine being chased by them it would be. :)
She would've called the elephant a "freak", a "nobody", and bragged about how much smarter she was than it. She'd finish off with an insult relating to the elephant's dead father. Then she would walk into a nearby river and get eaten by a hippopotamus. There would be no Tribal Council that night, too.

It still makes me happy that Marcus is known all over the Internet now as the biggest sore loser in Survivor. Granted, I haven't seen all seasons yet, but of the ones I've seen, Marcus is still at the top.

"I never lie in games." Please...

Marcus was trying to be Yul, except he failed (partially because he didn't have an Ozzy or the HII, which he threw away).

I still find that to be delicious:
"These people are so stupid, I just convinced them to throw an immunity idol into the ocean!" *gets voted off*
So let me get this straight, was it Marcus who then gave the ocean immunity idol to Matty? or was it Sugar?

Host: Your challenge today is to fight on these docks in the middle of this river using these foam sticks. The one who survives gets immunity from today's vote-off. Ken vs (--) and.... go!

Ken performs a IRL Ken combo.

Host: °C°; Um... Ken wins!

Ken: T'was no problem. Just a simple mindgame and I got thisin the bag.

Nope, I just forgot to read the date of last post. Or The ENTIRE 500 PAGE thread for that matter. My humble apologies.

Even if you didn't read the timestamp, I still question how you managed to dig this thread up from the depths. You must have been browsing through pages of old threads or using the search feature. Regardless, you really have no excuse. There is a warning on old threads that inform you that no one has posted in months. ;)
