What the hell was that? I don't want recap shows...I want whole new, full episodes with people beating each other up in challenges and backstabbing each other. Last week they led us to believe we'd see a "new episode" this week. It was new alright, as in "we haven't seen this stuff before". But big whompin' deal. Argh! Survivor withdrawals are bad enough.

Okay, I'm better now.

Yep have to admit even for a Survivor recap that one was pretty lame.


Wonder why there is no shelter on exile island? I don't think there needs to be as I see going there as almost a punishment. Last year's hut with the choice of food and hammock was a little much for being on exile I thought.

well, i was glad it was going to be on Wed. this week since I am going away tomorrow, but as annoying as it was to be a recap at least I had some extra time to pack and get some other crap done.

How annoying, I hate these stupid recap shows. Esp. this early, there isn't even enough to recap at this point......

Yup...about the only thing I learned is that Steven is about ready to come busting out of the closet after the comment about Brendan. I believe he said Brendan was a "hunk of man" and he'd never been that close to another man before.

Anyway...the show was completely lame as others have said. I don't know why they insist on showing these stupid recap shows every year. I guess they know we'll watch.

I really don't see the point of this except to keep Survivor on the radar for the segement of society that is detached enough to loose interest if given the chance to look elsewhere for replacement. Because of the Basketball committment, Survivor either has to be moved or not shown at all. Given those options, the show likely refuses to be shown in another day and time because it can be a death blow to ratings. So they toss in the lame re-cap show just to remain in the public view.

Over all I'm of the opinion that we need to see more of camp life. That is IF it's worth seeing. All that footage and they have almost nothing to show for it, except more grumbling about how stupid "coach" is. Are we being set up for something? Probably not. I think this is all filler crap and so far there was simply nothing worthy of showing. Yes show us more camp life but not in the form of a re-cap episode on an off night. If Survivor can't be shown in it's time slot and on it's night, then don't do anything at all.

CBS has been showing previews of this show on April Fool's Day (Wednesday) where Jeff is working at a grocery store checkout and apparently fooling everyone. They are doing a series of shows where celebs do everyday jobs and surprise people. I don't know why they think this is funny.
