Reality TV - Survivor 4 - Season Premiere

1 If you're like me, you did a little dance of joy when that familiar Survivor music began at 8pm. Survivor's fourth season on CBS is being held on the tropical island of Marquesas - near Tahiti. Marquesas has a history of cannibalism (that's humans eating humans - yuck!) and other mucho spooky stuff.

1
Rotu Tribe: Gabriel, John, Kathy, Neleh, Zoe, Tammy, Robert, Paschal.
Maraamu Tribe: Gina, Hunter, Patricia, Rob, Sara, Peter, Sean, Vecepia.

1 The tribe has to jump off a shipping boat and paddle two miles to shore in an inflatable raft. This time they don't get any rations to start - no food, no water - nuttin'. But they do get some survival gear, like a magnifying glass and a map to a decent watering hole. (No elephant dung this time!)

1Immunity Challenge: The two teams have to carry a 300 lbs canoe through the ocean to a fire cauldron where they have to light two torches. On their way back to the beach, they have to light several torches along the way. Once back on land they have to race with the canoe along the rocky beach and light another fire cauldron. The first one to finish successfully wins immunity. Rotu kicks Maraamu's butt.

High Points:

  • Sarah from the Maraamu tribe riding their raft like she was Cleopatra - get over yourself, girlfriend.
  • Maraamu booting Peter. There is no one who deserved to be the first Survivor voted off more than this dude. Peter Harkey seems to think he's Yoda or something. If you look up "flake" in the dictionary, you'll see this dude's pic.

    Low Points:

  • Peter rambling on about all the holes in people's bodies? What was up with that?
  • The poor Maraamu tribe has more trouble carrying their torches than they do carrying the 300 lbs canoe during the Immunity Challenge. They keep dropping the lit torches into the ocean.
  • Kathy's little crying fit when no one at Rotu wants to build a fire does not make her any friends.

    Survivor Saying of the Week:

    "Sarah has a very cute body and paid a lot for it, and if you have it, of course flaunt it." - Vecepia Towery, Maraamu. (Meow!)
