Survivor 36: Ghost Island

Erect Penis.

(Mine, not his.)

He was 18 when they filmed it. Christ.

It looks like a larger cast than they usually have.

My pick for biggest douche.

Fuck Mark Burnett. He promoted that asshole in the WH. I don't watch any of his stuff anymore.

I would love to break my Survivor habit. I've seen every season but the first one (don't ask...) and have become increasingly disappointed at how obvious the producer manipulation is. It's certainly been going on for seasons and seasons, but the most recent season in which the military vet won just stank of it. (See also: The Amazing Race's recent win by the Big Brother couple, never mind the fact that that show's producers aren't willing to spend more than the bare minimum on the show anymore.) Well, I gave up Top Chef after years, here's hoping I can ghost Ghost Island.

Thank heavens.....a mostly white cast. I can breathe easy now. 😀

They seem to keep skewing younger, too - the oldest in this cast are two early 40-somethings. Just what television needs is more idiots in their 20s.

Is this the Official Thread?

Yeah, I stopped watching a season or two ago since they started throwing so my hidden immunity idols out to be found. The outwit part flew out the window and it’s not fun anymore.

When this show congratulates itself it gets tough to watch, I’m wary of the Ghost Island premise since it’s so self -referential. Maybe it’s all just hype and the Ghost stuff won’t play a huge role.

Remember when the show used to go to different continents, like Australia, Africa and Central America (OK, not really a continent...) and the challenges were often specific to the country/region they were in? Now it's just Fiji 24/7 and challenges we've seen many times before. Also, enough with the puzzles. At least cut them back by 50%. See also: immunity idols.

SPOILER ALERT: whoever the biggest, rightwing deplorable contestant is, will receive 8 Hidden Immunity Idols and a surprise twist that let's him skip right on ahead to the Final 3!

Donathan Hurley, wonder how many years in grade school they sent him to speech therapy because they incorrectly thought he had a speech impediment.

Agree, r5, I stopped watching last season as boycott of Mark Burnett's "legitimization" of Donald Trump in the public's eye, via the vanity project called "The Apprentice".

The gay guy can’t find no man in Eastern Kentucky.

But Chris Crocker is just a short drive away in Eastern Tennessee.

Why does the gay guy speak like Jeff Sessions?

The guy who looks like Gabs Kaplan is sad.

Gabe Kaplan

Not many big bulges.

Sebastian had a nice bulge when he and Chris went for walk, I was wondering if he had a boner for Chris.

the gay guy is probably going home on day one. They never last...except Zeke

R14 is the trans contestant.

They're not skewing younger. R1 looks old as fuck!

You have to have an eagle eye to spy man bulge on this show but lady bits get close-ups and long, loving, lingering shots.

I'm still mad that Ben, who was caught dead of rights to be voted off in final 4, won. The show really screwed Devon or Kristy out of their rightful million.

Donathan's accent is really frustrating, but he seems like a sweet, genuine guy.

“Donathan”?? Please tell me that’s a made-up name to make his friends laugh.

Bradley seems uptight and deluded that he thinks UCLA Law is one of the best in the country.

GET IT MISS HONEY

"this being Ghost Island I don't want to make a bad decision that will haunt me for life"

I am already sick of all the Ghost Island references. Stop already, but I know they won't.

If Donathan was by some miracle to win the whole thing, you think he would get the hell out of Eastern Kentucky or go back there and be a big fish in a small pond?

Thank God for good lighting. Our Donnie looks hot in this pic. One of the comments tells him to make the gays proud

And Jonathan breaks out in dance

The teenager has me at attention

The 18 year old is a real estate agent? Wtf

I would not buy a house from an 18 year old. WHat the hell?

“I can’t believe I found the immunity idol in the dark! Can you, Mr. Cameraman?”

He isn’t really a real estate agent, Rose. He’s lying to the tribe about his identity.

[quote] I would not buy a house from an 18 year old. WHat the hell?

Fortunately for him he looks mid-twenties not 18, I don't few people ask him how old he is.

Maybe he sells dog houses...

Michael looks like a fucking movie star. Lot of great butts out there already.

R39, it says on his Survivor profile that he's a real estate agent. He's lying about his age only.

Where’s Nips McGee? He’s missing out on the teen real estate guy.

I hope Dominic’s wig doesn’t pop off.

Bye Jacob.

Eastern Kentucky must be like hell for poor Donathan.

I hope for his sake that “Donathan” is a Julliard-trained performance artist who plans on revealing his true identity at the finale.

Awww, Donathan is heartbreaking. I must be getting soft because I teared up when he went down and let those balls go. And then his speech on the island. It's easy to forget there are still smalltown gays out there like this and I love seeing him win.

Every year I swear off this show (I hated the winner last time and how it manipulated) and every year I am back and happy to see it again. Tonight has been a great start. Almost to my surprise.

Stephanie, the dark-haired yoga instructor, has an incredible body.

I think they are faking us out, the tribe that has already lost twice isn't going to vote out their strongest player.

We better not lose our stud with the amazing body. I will be pissed -- but it's happened before (men vs. women season where the old dumpy guys got rid of all the studs).

Wonder if anyone ever caught their hair on fire with those damn torches.

The gym teacher LOATHES goofy Jacob

Good. Worked out well. Loved how they kept cutting between Jacob and Michael and it truly looked like BEFORE and AFTER cosmetic surgery photos.

Survivor seems to have a lot of real estate agents, but I don't see how a successful real estate agent with listings could leave for a month to be on Survivor, so these guys must have no listings.

“Real Estate Agent” means he has his license.

You guys seem obsessed over this.

I think Stephanie might be one to watch. She got a lot of strategy talk tonight and a lot of reaction shots at key points. That's not something common for women players. Either she is a major player this season or she's out really soon. I'm picking her for the potential winner from what we've seen so far. She's got game.

I'm rooting for Donothan. He's really endearing for some reason. He's gotten a good edit also. I think he might stick around for a while.

Brendan just rubs me the wrong way. Hope he's out soon.

Plenty of hot guys this season, Michael stands out the most of them looks wise. I like James too. He's the hottest Asian by far ever on the show. Seems like a nice guy too.

How many closet gays?

Poor Laurel manages to look sour even when smiling.

That bitch stole my look!

She looks like a female version of Urkel.

[quote]I'm rooting for Donothan. He's really endearing for some reason. He's gotten a good edit also. I think he might stick around for a while.

Jeff loves him, for what it's worth.

I see now they are just "finding" idols in the pitch black dark. Is the Italian former fattie their new Ben?

The 18-year-old seems very ... physically mature.

I think Brendan is the handsomest.

That 18 year old has been well fed.

All the growth hormones in chicken, beef, and pork are producing adult-looking teens.

R68, not necessarily always.

I also think they are setting up Stephanie, the brunette yoga instructor (?), to be a Parvati sort of player.

Also, I like the Kentucky country pocket-gay. He seems endearing.

Here's the official opening credits for those who miss seeing them on TV in more recent seasons.

Why do people keep typing a “D” instead of a “J”?

R73 That's how he really spells his name.

Speaking of Partvati, she's now pregnant. John Fincher from the Samoa season is the father. I'm a bit jealous she's gotten to have sex with him, he's an upper tier Survivor hot guy in my opinion (I think I'd rank him in my top 20).

Donathan is getting the most internet reaction this season it seems. He has the biggest thread on Sucks (and actually has two of them, linked below is the biggest one with the funnier title). Will he become a DL Survivor icon as well?

She's lying, R75. The Baby Daddy is definitely Russell Hantz, who porked her in a cheap motel.

ParSlutty's pussy stinks!

R77 Russell tries HARD to fuck as many female players as he can. He's a troll, but has succeeded at least a few times. He wife is said to left him for that reason.

Parv is a shameless flirt, even with women sometimes, but I hope she didn't stoop that low let the troll inside her.

Of course Poverty Shallow spreads her legs for reality TV “stars.”

Yep - the 18yo could easily pass for 30.

The 18 yr old Michael is incredibly good looking - the shots of him at the campfire were amazing. Damn he’s beautiful.

Domenick is already getting the Tony/Ben edit.

They really dodged a bullet voting Cuntzalez out. Bitch was crazy!

[quote]The 18 yr old Michael is incredibly good looking - the shots of him at the campfire were amazing. Damn he’s beautiful.

I don’t think he’s that hot.

Chris, the blonde model is way hotter.

I ran track and field with Brendan Shapiro (the P.E. teacher) in high school and he's a really great guy. Very nice, sweet and married to his high school sweetheart who was also on our team. He's wanted to be on this show for pretty much its entire run.

That is a hot bod for a gym teacher. I am sure all the girls and gaylings are lusting.

DADDY!!

Thanks for the credits, R72. Wonder why they leave out that important part now? More time to sell commercial space (on a post peak show?) It always helped me learn who everyone was and had the great continuity with that music, same way "Race" does.

Michael, 18 and a Los Angeles transplant already, HAS to be a model/actor. He is too beautiful not to be.

There is no way that guy maintains that body for his average wife of 17 years. Just sayin...

OK, now we're "finding" idols in the goddamn dark and all up our own ass with previous years' loser idols (totally a time filler and a way to recycle clips from earlier seasons). I am OUT the second Michael is voted off the island. He is almost painfully beautiful (and from certain angles looks like a young Elvis Presley). I had to take a Silkwood shower after the episode because I am possibly old enough to be his grandfather.

Also, WTF with athletic James being unable to dive down a few feet and release the buoys? That was total producer manipulation to give Kaintucky a mini-redemption arc.

As someone who suffers from it from time to time, I thought that was a pretty accurate portrait of someone trying not to panic -- Kentucky too had elements of it. Was done too well to be fake. But you're right, once Donothan went down into the water, it didn't look particularly far. Still... good for him AND glad James didn't have to go yet either.

r92, exactly. Keep your eye on Domenick

Domenick has the wife and kids but that's it as far as the Burnett/Probst hero bullshit goes. No veteran, no All-American persona. I think he'll make a good "villain" like those in the past and then be gone sometime in the middle.

r95, clearly you missed the big weight loss/life betterment speech.

Still not enough for a flag waving Roma-banging Right Winger Christian like Burnett. Besides, Domenick is too dark and ethnic for that role.

Domenick's game flaws have been pointed out too much for him to win. The past mistake thing is the theme this season. Wouldn't be surprised if he lasts for a while. He's being gunned for already though.

Strangest moment of the night was when Sebastian was trying to describe his budding friendship with whatsisname, the blond alpha: "We're like two kids together at the candy store, picking out each other's gummy worms."

I’m sorry that we didn’t learn why the tribe chose to send Donathan to GI, particularly after his redemption dive.

Did they think that Don would get a game advantage at GI? Did they want to punish him for being the challenge hero? Did they want to ostracize him from his tribe mates?

Simple homophobia?!?!?

We will never know, I guess.

r100 - I think they probably assumed, and rightly so, that Donathon was likely to be near the bottom of the pecking order of his tribe, and by sending him to GI and thus protecting him, that they were screwing with the rival tribe's boot list.

I think R101 is correct. They cited that as their reason with sending Jacob.

I don't think it's for homophobia reasons. They asked all the players pre-game their thoughts on all the other plays, just based on seeing them, and Donathan's feedback was almost entirely positive and quite a few other players thought they could work with him in the game. Sebastian and Brendan are the only ones that were negative.

Brendan gives me Andrew Savage vibes. Someone very superficial who tries to portray themself as a "nice guy" but who looks down and discounts those who he see's as beneath him. As someone said earlier in the thread, he obviously didn't like Jacob at all. And here's what he said about Donathan pre-game.

[quote] Brendan Shapiro (Physical Education Teacher, Malolo Tribe): "I worry about him, like the Ivy League guy. He looks like a student of the game, sizing everybody up, sizing me up. I've had a hard time connecting with him, through looks."

Roma and her extreme plastic surgery (good but extreme) are on "Dr. Oz" right now talking about "wee butterflies" and gifts from God. That's who is banging Mark Burnett.

R100 here. I forgot that sending someone to GI protects them from eviction. Thanks for clearing that up.

Was Jeff freshly 'toxed for the premiere?

Brendan’s feets are hot as hell, Michael’s bulge, mouth and eyes are insane and Chris’ nipples are eminently suckworthy. This season has it all!

Must admit it's more eye candy than ever before. I barely even noticed any of the female contestants (not that is such a shock but usually one or two makes an impression).

Michael is just... unreal. Including that bottom in those white pants as he ran the first race.

R106 Not as badly as he was in some of the more recent seasons.

R108 Most of the female cast has been invisible so far while none of the guys really have been. Only Stephanie and Gonzalez (because she was the boot) got more than a brief bit or any screen time at all.

Donathan as a high school hairhopper. Now he sort of reminds me of a lesbian cousin of mine.

god, he looks so much better there. time to go back to the bottle.

Three of the women got zero confessional or any real screen time. Angela, Chelsea and Libby. Whereas only Bradley was from the men's side. I think he got more screen time, albeit not saying anything, compared to all three of the invisible women.

I like Stephanie. Thank God Gonzalez got the first boot because she was a massive cunt.

The gal with the gigantic mouth who got the advantage from Jacob seems fun.

Michael is so gorgeous. I want to suck all the cum out of him. Looks douchey on Instagram though.

Not sure why Sebastian showed up with such a lean six pack. Don’t they know to bulk up before the game? He’ll look like a twig if he lasts long.

Aww. They'd make a cute couple.

LITERALLY every guys from the original orange team looks like Sean Cody models, except Jacob.

Donathan is getting a good edit. They had an opportunity to give him a bad one, but they didn't.

I can already see him on Final 6.

Gonzolez even looked like Gretchen Wieners lol

Don almost crying broke my heart

The women all seem anonymous except for the dark haired yoga chick and the nerdy black girl.

Sia is Team Donathan

[quote]the second Michael is voted off the island. He is almost painfully beautiful

Can you imagine rimming that beefy 18 year old ass?

Sia loves her underdog queens

The Michael troll is already annoying.

They never seem to cast any really hot women. Do they just assume most of their audience is women and gay men?

Obviously your definition of “hot” women doesn’t include pretty women with athletic bodies. I assume that by “hot” you mean a Kardashian type—big tits and big ass—and those women would rather wear a home perm than participate in a physical competition.

Survivor needs more big tits!!!

Yeah, his Instagram is a bit annoying (chalk it up to youth) but Michael gets major points for hugging Donothan after his little triumph. That bought him much goodwill.

We need a Brendon/Michael daddy/son hookup

I'll settle for a bare ass shot from Michael. We get fairly close on that Instagram site so I am sure it is coming.

Do we think Michael likes the man-up-in-the man sex?

No but those Instagram poses make me think he knows who his target audience is. Even at 18.

Michale is the hottest guy this season which creeps me out since I never like guys below 25 much less an 18 year old. I wish he was in his twenties at least. Currently listing after him makes me feel like a creep. But yes, that ass!

r133, considering he could pass for 30, I think you're ok.

[quote] Do they just assume most of their audience is women and gay men?

That's not an assumption. It's a fact. You do know the same holds true for our beloved DL, too?

Have we talked about Michael's sexuality yet? His IG is pretty gay

I had the same thought r136.

Michael's IG list looks like mine.

If Michael is gay everything will explode.

I simply can't fathom that Michael is 18. It just doesn't compute somehow. He looks at least five years older.

R139 We're gonna get a love triangle between Michael-Don-James and then Michael and James are gonna get the other voted off. James gets voted off.

But then Brendan will eventually realize his feelings for Michael and then gets jealous of Don, so he's gonna try to get him voted off. Don idols out Brendan.

Chris and Sebastian, however, will battle out Michael and Don, so they get to decide which ones are the gayer couple.

Search Michael on Tumblr for even more modelling shots.

18???????

Will Michael come out? OMG!

Sebastian looks like an ugly version of Ozzy. His voice grates too.

I get the feeling we are jumping the gun on Michael but we'll see... I think he's more from the Nick Jonas school, which is far from terrible. At least he was kind enough to give Donothan a hug of encouragement after his triumph -- and give us a nice shot of his bent over wet underwear clad perfect butt at the same time. So everyone wins!

Oprah looks extra fat in this pic with Michael

Endowed

Dat azz tho

Yikes, Michael looks extra gay in that Oprah pic. Maybe she does that to us.

I was pissed at the premiere, I thought all the fools who made mistakes would be back - not their idols.

I saw a newspaper article that Michael graduated from high school in 2016. It's hard to see how he is 18 and has the work history he has.

[quote]Yikes, Michael looks extra gay in that Oprah pic. Maybe she does that to us.

Uh, maybe because he IS gay...honey child?

What did Donathan do that that was so extraordinary? I was in the middle of something and only saw a bit of the challenge. He dove down to release some balls?

Jesus Christ. Michael is not gay and those modeling pics are “retouched” to enhance certain things. Don’t be so stupid people.

R154 He had to go under water and pull a lever to release some balls. It wasn’t extraordinary. He was scared of going underwater. How the fuck can these ‘superfans’ apply for Survivor and not know that they will at some point have to go under water???

I think it was more than that. He said himself he knew how to swim (though holding his nose when falling into water didn't bode well). I think he and James both were exhausted and a little scared from the pressure and neither knew how far below the cage was (eight feet, it turns out). It was silly, sure, but Donothan faced his fears AND figured out how to release the balls (it wasn't easy as it looked and then add in dark water too).

Silly or not, I was proud of him.

R155 You seem so sure of Michael's sexuality. Any evidences?

[quote] I saw a newspaper article that Michael graduated from high school in 2016. It's hard to see how he is 18 and has the work history he has.

Survivor 36 Ghost Island was shot during the summer of 2017 and I suppose it is possible he was 18 when he was cast for Survivor. He does look much older though.

The ages they give are the age they are at the time of filming.

R158....you mean besides the fact that for the past 30 seasons, the same tired queens fixate on every thing the obligatory hunky real estate agent/model contestant says and does and they ALWAYS ends up being straight?

I like Jacob and Donathan...that's about it. Oh and byeee Gonzales. You fucking CUNT. Too bad you didn't take that construction worker you.

R161 Well he's following a lot of hot guys on Instagram, who also happens to be gay.

Also, which one is the construction worker?

He’s gay.

Hmmm

Domathan is a dead ringer for Ed Grimley.

It is Donathan, not Domathan.

Are we sure Donathan isn't really Kate Macinnon doing her Jeff Sessions imitation?

“Miss Hurley” if you’re nasty!

George Clooney is doing coffee commercials now, I guess he has to pay for those kids somehow.

Donathan's accent is just so ...., well unfortunate.

R167 that was my first thought too

Ass parade!!!

This puzzle is too complicated.

WOW -- they said "Son of a Bitch" on Survivor.

That black guy told Jeff to shut up during the pay-by-play commentary. Obviously, he’s a Datalounger.

That is one goofy looking male model

The blond guy is having a breakdown after only a few days because he misses his mother? What?

Well it is a mother that was told she only had two more months to live, that might have something to do with it.

So with a mother with only two months to live, you go to the other side of the Earth?

Is this mother thing true or just another fake out like that guy (Johnny Fairchild?) who bawled about his sick mother in front of everyone then laughed behind their backs?

Well since Chris said his mother had MS and two months to live with no one else around other than the camera man, I don't see the point in making it up to a camera man.

R181, you do realize he was speaking to the entire Survivor audience, right? Umm....

^^^Exactly.

Yes, the meathead model reality TV famewhore is playing 3-D Chess.

You realize that the "entire Survivor audience" doesn't vote on who wins, so lying to us is also pointless. The purpose behind lies on Survivor is to get the people who vote to have sympathy for you, which in my opinion is silly because it also puts a huge target on your back, who wants to go to the finales with a sympathy story.

R182 and just how well did that work out for Jonny Fairplay? He was universally hated for lying about, it was actually his Grandmother, not his mother.

Jonny Fairplay also told us the "entire Survivor audience" that he was lying.

Why didn't the four just vote out Domenick? More producer manipulation. GMAB.

I thought Chris was saying she was told she had two months to live and then gave birth to him and is still around? Did I hear completely wrong?

That girl kicked off barely registered but, man, what an awful voice at Tribal. I wanted her gone for that alone.

Donathan is already getting better looking, did you notice? A little peach fuzz is good for him.

I thought Chris said his mother was diagnosed with MS at 27, but now ten years later she was told she had two months to live.

He said his mother was told two months to live... .... when she was first diagnosed at 18!

That's what I heard too. Apparently only R190 and I...

Or what 189 said :).

Think his freak out was cause he knew he overplayed his game and would’ve gone had he not drawn the white rock.

R191 that's what I heard too

Loved when Sebastian grabbed Michaels ass during the challenge. That was a hot ass grab and he did it in order to “support” him. Well played.

Chris Nobles bio

[quote] My ma is my hero. But it wasn't always so. Growing up, my mom and I didn't have the best relationship. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at 27 and had me at 34.

[quote] She never quit or gave in when she was told she had two months to live, so why should I ever quit or give in when life "gets hard?"

10 years ago, she got the “2 months to live” prognosis

Chris is 27, if his mother had him when he was 34, that makes her around 61 now.

Is Chris the biggest douche to ever play this game?

It'll never happen, but I wish the Final 2 will be Donathan and the manly 18 year old. That would be fun.

Oh wait, I forgot they vote between 3 finalists at the end. Ok then...and nerdy black girl, I guess, or James for the final 3.

Brendan is so that type of married guy you'd find on Craigslist. Hot lean little bod ain't for his wife.

Repiglicans hate teachers, so no way will Burnett allow Brendan to make it to the final

Brendan/Michael bromance!

Is it just me but is Donathan= gay Forest Gump? I guesss that’s why I want Michael to be his Jenny? It’s fate.

The nerdy black girl looks like alien Lou Gossett Jr. in Enemy Mine.

R187 They gotta keep that Chris vs Dom rivalry or else the remaining people would just stick to Chris on the next TCs.

Voting out Morgan gains them power for the tribe. VERY SMART move from James. 👏👏

R198 He's not a douche. Tbh I think his overconfidence just rubs people the wrong way. Cause everything he has done in this game so far does make sense.

R198 Have you seen this show before? I have two words for you - The Hantz's.

I'm PREDICTING Libby, Bradley, Angela, Chelsea and Domenick boots before merge.

List of most important to least important characters:

-Domenick

-Donathan

-Kellyn

-Stephanie

-Michael

-Chris

-Brendan

[GAP]

-James

-Wendell

-Libby

-Sebastian

[GAP]

-Jenna

-Bradley

-Laurel

-Desiree

-Angela

-Chelsea

Actually swap Domenick with Brendan.

I'm gonna say the boot order will be Chelsea-Libby-Bradley-Angela-Brendan(before merge).

Chelsea and Bradley still no confessionals.

Angela just has a weak edit that doesnt suggest longevity.

Brendan would be the most likely THREAT going to merge.

While James, Don and Laurel made a good move targetting Morgan, LIBBY weaken her game as she lost what shouldve been her advantage and furthermore was NOT part of the James-Don-Laurel alliance. She even voted for James on the previous tribal.

I didn't even know Bradley existed in the premiere.

The fuck sessions must be epic!

Chris' beef with Dom seems totally manufactured to give him screen time. Of course the crucifix necklace probably made Burnett leak copious amounts of precut.

The guy talking about banana taffy needs to go

R213 That is Sebastian. He is annoying. He also looks like an ugly version of Ozzy and if Ozzy mated with ugly Mike Boogie from Big Brother.

This new season sucks...except for the eye candy. I wouldn't be upset if they brought in this Ghost Island nonsense at the midway point, but trying to get to know these people AND keeping track of all the ridiculous idol stuff is too much. I was scratching my head at the end of last night's episode.

R210 how about Chelsea? 😂

R214 And with an annoying voice too. Also seems like she would have showmance with Jenna based on their SM activity.

At least its not Michael or James. More for our boy Donathan.

He not she

Morgan wanted a little catholic school girl lez action with Libby (is that her name?)

At this point, I am so uninvested in the female contestants that I can't even remember which tribe Morgan was originally on and how the game got turned by voting her out. Too early to pay that close attention to anything but Michael's butt (and a couple of other nice ones last night too).

R219 sounds like the annoying feminist twink from somewhere.. Hmmm..

How come the female contestants never seem to just "find" idols?

They do find them but most (mainly the cute dumb young blonde bimbos) instead rely on an alpha male to carry them to the end. The ones that look for them get deemed threats and kicked out early.

1. I think Michael is possibly the best-looking guy ever on Survivor.

2. Partner and I think nerdy black woman looks like Urkel. Remember Urkel?

Nope, no one remembers Urkel. Not even R62.

If a woman isn’t old or batshit crazy/weird, she blends in with the other hot or athletic babes. Ashley? Candace? Valerie? No one bothers to learn their names until it’s down to Final 5 or so.

Michael finding the idol was the ONLY time I haven't bitched about producer manipulation. Also: Did I even see Survivor China? Because I remembered none of the players they showed in that clip.

Also also: They need some new challenge designers. It's been a seemingly unending parade of a couple of physical obstacles followed by a puzzle.

The built black guy who went home with 2 idols was a grave digger. Funny that I remember that. IIRC, he came back at least once for a Vets season.

James came back twice - the first Fans vs. Favorites where he was medically removed and Heroes vs. Villains.

Survivor was last night's highest rated show in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demo. Pretty damn amazing for a 21-year-old series.

You didn't spot cutie winner Todd in those clips? Can't miss him. Pre-boozehound days.

Has any Survivor cast member gone on DWTS? Shame we have that competitive network thing going. In the UK Strictly would happily put on someone from an ITV reality show,

I did recognize Todd after the fact, R231, because he looked so different then. And when R228 mentioned James was a gravedigger I remembered that, too, so clearly I DID see Survivor China. (They do all tend to run together, though...)

Yeah, I can't remember like I used to. Did China introduce us to Ozzy? No, wait, it was the 4 team divided by races one, right?

A Survivor contestant became a panelist on The View which is an ABC production. So if the talent and audience demand are there, network competition takes a back seat.

Though that was back in the day when we could name every contestant (there had only been two seasons). Now it's a clusterfuck. I'd love to see a season of People Who Were Voted Out First getting another chance. Surely after this many seasons, they could find 14 or so to participate.

R232 playing survivir does not make them "stars"

survivor

Chris’ ass. Yummy.

Chris and Michael had chubbies after climbing up that ramp. Aren’t they ever concerned about popping boners, walking around in their underwear?

Wasn't Todd the second gay guy who won Survivor? Could be jumbling them up in the 'ol memory bank.

Not sure what number Todd is but Richard Hatch was the first winner and he’s gay.

Now that I think about it, gays tend to do rather well winning reality tv shows when you consider what a small percentage we are.

As for the Mom with MS, my aunt was diagnosed in 1976 and given about two months. She went on to have three kids and lived until 2005. She was in rough shape but she just kept on enduring and was mentally all there. So that sounds like what's happening with this guy.

r241 Except for Big Brother, the way that show is set up is not advantageous to gays imho.

[quote]If a woman isn’t old or batshit crazy/weird, she blends in with the other hot or athletic babes.

I prefer "delightfully different."

R244 QUEEN, LIRTERALLY.

I didn't know I needed this

Donathan looks decent in that pic R247 but , like a post upthread mentioned, he sounds like Kate Mckinon's version of Jeff Sessions

R249 I always thought he looked cute. I think it's because he is starting to grow a beard too

By the end of the series, Donathan is going to go from pure boy to MAN. Probst will make sure of it too.

Are they told to wear underwear? Why wouldn't you just wear a bathing suit under your clothes instead of underwear on the first day of filming?

R244, did Debbie's pussy stink?

R253 To high heaven! They had to find another island while they fumigated the last one.

Wow. Debbie did not lie about being a top model! Linda...Naomi... DEBBIE!!!!

R252 No. During the first episode of the Pearl Islands, Nicole, the first boot, revealed she didn't wear underwear and was wearing a mini dress unfortually for her. It led to an a funny moment on the first night when a hermit crab crawled up the bottom of her dress.

Seriously, this show has been around for 18 years and you'd think the contestants would know the drill by now. Fatten up, learn to make fire, make sure you can swim and dive and for Chrissakes, remember you'll be exposed to the elements. So many act shocked this isn't the picnic outing they were expecting.

Get fat before being filmed shirtless for a TV show?

Are you new to Earth?

I cannot tell any of the women apart this season except for the two black chicks and the wild haired yoga woman.

R251 And then Michael can finally notice him..

R258 Nope. Not new to idiots either.

R259 Don't forget poor Kellyn and her unfortunate ass and leg cellulite. 6 minutes into the RW/IC. That's pretty bad for relatively slim, 31-year-old woman.

lol r262. ouch!

[bold] DONATHAN'S TRANSFORMATION!!

Gays love a glow up!

R259, am having the same trouble in real life. So many clone women. The ones on "The Bachelor" are the worst. Totally Stepford robots physically.

Does Baby Ozzie have a dead tooth?

Have Michael and Brendan fucked yet?

Production has a say in what the contesants wear, right down to the colors/patterns, so they can't get away with wearing bathing suits under clothing. Sadly they double up and sew the flies of undies up now, to lessen any wardrobe malfunctions. So we won't get to see a Michael dick slip (yet).

I've always wondered how none of them get any parasites between what they eat and where they are.

Actually, they do get all sorts of physical ailments according to various interviews I've read over the years. Some have complained of gastrointestinal problems, especially after bingeing when they win food reward challenges. Some have gone into detail about constipation, then diarrhea after eating too much food all at once. Constant bug bites and apparently permanent scarring has also been reported. Then there's the lack of sleep. Yeah, this shit ain't no picnic. It's probably why they give them a water source as opposed to the early yeqars when they needed fire to boil water.

Michael has already been nicely physical with Donathan, hugging him, etc. I'm sure that is motivation for the kid. He's looking great already.

I don't know, R269. The way the sunlight was hitting Chris' behind during the challege, I swear I could make out his whole ass and crack.

r271 I've often wondered how/if they wash their hands after they pee/poop.

Cole confirms that he let JP used his hole during the game.

Cole confesses how JP destroyed his hole despite not being an anal virgin.

Wrong link. Ugh.

Here it is. Cole describing his overused hole.

Cole bragging about their deepthroating skills.

I need more episodes of Chris in his underwear and bare feets. Please keep him safe, Survivor Gods! And the tears are sexy too.

"Survivor: The Edge"

Chris Mazdzer, Lindsey Vonn, Adam Rippon, Red Gerard, Shaun White (Ugh!), Chloe Kim, et al.

They'd all captain teams, but this time in the Alaskan wild. Grizzly Bears and dangerous berries, be damned! All they have is each other to rely on!

It would be like a Mark Burnett version of the 1997 film "The Edge."

Baby Ozzie and his candy analogies are one of the weirdest things I've seen on Survivor. He needs to be voted off.

Baby Ozzie looks like he should play Johnny Depp's brother in Pirates of the Caribbean. He's odd, but he has quite a swing in his shorts.

I think Koren James is also incredibly hot. And if Michael does reveal he's gay during the show, I fear little Donovan may have a nervous breakdown and not know what to do. Weeks without jacking off can do strange things to us and knowing a hot piece of gay ass is right there may drive Donovan over the edge.

R283 I think Donathan is more into "exotic" people. But, hey, who knows?

I see James from this season is friends with Cole from last season

I see Cole is on the roids now

Cole looks cartoonishly ridiculous in that photo. Shame.

You can tell Cole isn't going to age well at all.

Ugh, that fugly Max has to involve himself in this as well. And as usual, it looks like you could smell him from several feet away.

Is Korean James into the peen?

James seems gay.

Cole still looks like he’s spreading undiagnosed STDs.

Nice VPL in this pic of Chris. I hope he goes far just for the eye candy.

Most of the men this season are eye candies. But, yes, hopefully.

Holy roller Mark Burnett has always kept the gay to a minimum. It would be a hoot if several of these gays started swinging that way on camera but I highly doubt it.

James does seem gay, yes...

But I think he'd worry about his family's reaction to his coming out on Survivor.

R295 Yeah, I'd be much more embarrassed that I choked in a diving comp and let the gay Gomer Pyle show me up.

Gay Gomer Pyle seems somehow redundant

Well yeah, now. Not so much in '68.

This teen is the star of my liquid dreams

Those thighs!

Donathan gave Chris a kiss while he was down on the ground.

Chris is looking good with the beard

I don't want Michael to go home, hope he plays the idol correctly.

Bradley and Sebastian are annoying and deserve each other.

Bradley is totally annoying and I’m glad we get to look at Michael some more

I thought Michael had convinced one of them to flip, but they all suck with their plan. It was a good plan, but it also put a huge target on Michael for the next tribal council.

That gym teacher hates that he didn’t at least make it to jury.

I can't stand Bradley but not sad about Brendan going at all. Something about him rubs me the wrong way. Glad it wasn't Michael or Stephanie getting voted out.

Great shots of Michael and his green underwear bent over again tonight. We can't lose him for a long time. Come on, producers, manipulate!

Great comeback from the other tribe. Nicely edited with little interaction on the losing tribe all episode. First time I have been surprised in a while.

Chris gets MVP.

Blond beards look so weird

Bradley looks just the lesbian news editor of Out Magazine, Ellen something, from years ago. Maybe she transitioned. Or is in the process.

OMG! Not hot daddy Brendan!!

Michael put on a fierce show - too bad it went nowhere. But he definitely likes the peen.

But Brendan’s feets were the hottest!

It is a shame to lose a good player to basic luck of the draw, though. When it's just tribal numbers stacked up against who has less... hard to root for any of those players now.

I was actually surprised by Brendan's ousting given his fair amount of screen time.

I can already tell they are pushing Domenick.

Brendan is annoying and truly believes he's the hottest. He not. He's fug.

* He's not.

FUG?

Really?

There were some nice shots of wet underwear clad 18 yr old ass tonight.

And those thighs!

Michael is almost too attractive. Don't think there's ever been a better looking guy on Survivor. He's perfect.

There have been lots of hot guys over the years. It's just all a blur. Michael is the latest flavor but Chris and Brendon ain't chopped meat either. Gonna keep my eyes pealed for tell-tale boner.

I thought it was clever for Michael to say the immunity idol covered two of them, especially given the history of James' idols in China. But why did they tell them they were putting votes on Bradley? Wouldn't it be more effective to not share who they were voting for, and scaring people into thinking they would be the target? By sharing the target in advance, the other four players could shrug and say, "oh well, if we guess wrong, Bradley goes home and I'm still safe".

Apparently the game dulls the mind.

Why is there not more love here for James? He is gorgeous and built.

There's still a fair amoint of hot guys remaining, even with daddy Brendan out.

We still have jocks Chris and Michael and then twinks Bradley and Donathan.

I want Michael and Bradley to hate fuck each other, and for Chris and Donathan to make out some more.

Also, did anyone else hear Bradley say he'd rather have Brendan out than Michael? Sounds like he's saying he'd like to spend more time with Michael and his menis.

There are no other men, there is only Michael, the dreamy realtor teen

[quote]FUG? Really?

Dude, some comments are so absurd and desperate, you just have to ignore them.

I was hoping for a bigger catfight between Bradley and Michael. Those two were ready to out-bitch each other.

R329 Funny you pointing out you think Jenna is (or looks like) a tranny. She's rather hard to look at. Very horsefaced. She reminds me of deplorable Sarah who won last year.

I think Jenna and Sebastian just might to the record for the most unattractive showmance ever on the show. Hopefully they get minimal airtime and are both voted out sooner than later.

Survivor never differentiates the women early on. The only one I "know" is Laurel.

Bradley is repulsive with this tiny mouth and thin lips. Plus, he has a Trump-loving vibe about him.

[quote] But why did they tell them they were putting votes on Bradley? Wouldn't it be more effective to not share who they were voting for, and scaring people into thinking they would be the target?

They had to reveal their target because if they could get someone to flip it was vital that the flipped person knew who to vote for. If the flip didn't vote for the right person then the vote would be 4-4 and they would draw rocks for who went home.

Domenick is the new Ben. Watch.

Dom seems a little too pingy for Miss Burnett. I can see Chris being the new Ben and "stumbling" onto a string of idols without any producer help whatsoever.

No way, r337. The clues are already there for Domenick.

But does Domenick DESERVE it like Ben?? At least Chris has the sob story with his MS mom.

He is a former fattie who lost all the weight so he could live and be around for his wife and kids.

Pass the Kleenex.

Bradley is a jerk but he, too, has a great little ass in those blue undies. They know what they are doing this season.

The women remain invisible save for cool black female Urkel. I like that she is strong at least.

I miss Chrissy!!

R332 Have you seen their couples instagram?? It's so cringy, my eyeballs almost detached from its sockets!!

R341 Kellyn and Steph are the only women this season with fairer edits. Laurel didnt get any focus until this episode

Brendan and his wife Margie are very good friends with Christopher Scalia (son of SC Justice Antonin Scalia). Just throwing that out there. They all went to high school together.

[Quote] FUG? Really?

Yes. Really.

Dom looked fine with his shirt off. No saggy skin or stretch marks. I’d like to see the Before weight loss pictures. He may be one of those drama queens who considers 10 pounds overweight as “obese.”

Also, isn’t he a bit too New Yawk for Probst and the midwestern audience? On this show, heroes are corn-fed Christian veterans from Iowa and not duplicitous Good Fella wannabes from Brooklyn.

The military woman may be the sleeper this season.

R336 Well at least I actually did like Ben INITIALLY, but this Domenick guy is just pretentious and insufferable since the beginning.

Bradley is a good character. It's like evetynody that I ever liked is hated by everyone else. (e.g. Chic from Riverdale)

Wendell looks and sounds like Donald Glover.

Sebastian is a real oddball. He was doing strange things with his tongue during tribal council, and his analogies are bizarre. But he definitely has the best bulge this season.

Michael was playing hard but it was a big error to give Stephanie the idol. He should have played it for himself or Brendan, should have seen that the majority alliance doesn't care about winning challenges because they have four players to ditch without affecting their game at all. Thus it only made sense to ditch the two strong guys first.

R343 No I haven't. What's the link? I want to see it to torture myself.

Was that Chelsea woman even on the island before last night?

I want to see Michael and Chris get exiled to Ghost Island and have a passionate affair

Does anyone think Michael would have been smart enough to purposely not play the idol for Brendan in order to get out a strong competitor?

I think he is, R354.

The tribal council is heavily edited. I bet the team of 5 had time to discuss their options right after young Michael brandished the idol

r354, only if production promised him he'd "find" another idol.

Dial back the vocal gameplay at Tribal, Michael. You've been watching the game since you were eight, you know not to put a target on your back. (Yes, I know the show is completely in the can at this point.)

Michael served up some fierce gay realness.

There are a number of players getting barely any screen time. Chelsea, Desiree, Jenna, and before last night I'd throw Bradley and Laurel in there. I hate the uneven editing. Having watched from S1, they used to be much more balanced with editing in the earlier seasons. But now they spend so much screen time on idol hunts and exile/ghost islands, they don't have time to throw in some scenes or confessionals from these players. Plus they used to start with 16 players, so it was easier to squeeze everyone in.

I also used to like when they traveled to different regions (Amazon, Africa, Australia, Guatemala, China) and would try to tie challenges and rewards into things unique to that area. But that ship has sailed. Survivor is all about the big moves nowadays, no matter how those moves get manufactured.

R359 Honestly though..

His inner sassiness is showed on TC

I love how someone started a separate thread to talk about Michael's age.

It is funny or maybe just the DL influence on me but Michael is getting more and more gay every episode. I loved the little eye roll at Tribal this week. Maybe it's just because he is soft spoken but it's fun to witness. God, is he beautiful.

The fuck is going on with this show? Who's James and why is there an idol named after him from 11 years ago? And why am I not surprised that condescending douchebag got it? I did enjoy the look on his face when DILF got the boot. Honestly, I LOVE when the 'haves' don't get their way. He may be "pretty" but he comes across like a prick...unsurprisingly. Also, what species of alien is Sebastian, and what planet is it from?

Uranus, what else?

Bradley put up this tweet and was told by Survivor producers to delete it. He's bitching about it on his twitter

Bradley is such a tiresome queen

Yeah Bradley is exhausting and he's only been featured prominently in one episode. Such a bitch.

STOP BEING MEAN TO BRADLEY. THEY'RE NOT FIGHTING. IN FACT, THEY JUST FUCKED NOT TOO LONG AGO..

They make a cute couple

Bradley is an insufferable twat.Besides being a negative, charisma lacking whiner and complainer, he thinks hes intelligent and clever but hes actually a complete idiot. His analogy about premature ejaculation is ridiculous. Micheals group was at a terrible disadvantage going into tribal. He took a big risk, thought out an intelligent, creative and ballsy strategy to try to save his teamate that involved guesswork, and unfortunately it didnt work out. Guys are born with big dicks, they dont create them, and premature ejaculation has to do with someones own ability to control themselves, unlike Micheals circumstances which were not in his power to change. What a jealous and confused moron Bradley is--he'll make a shitty lawyer.

Why am I feeling so alone in my lust for James? I'd take him above any of the others.

Because the DL does not lust after Asians, r372.

Bradley comes across as a loud, bossy bottom!

Tribal council has become like a Real Housewives reunion. They are now forced to "turn it up" for maximum drama.

Asians are fucking hot. DL better catch up.

R351 DANGER ZONE: HIGHLY CRINGE-WORTHY!!

Thanks R377. Speaking of cringe-worthy...

Is Bradley a Log Cabinette?

No, but Michael is.

Bradley must not go that much further in the game if he is taking to social media to whine about how he's portrayed in an early episode.

Bradley is such a little bitch. I bet he’d make a great bottom though. I want to fuck him then dump him so I can go after Michael.

Bradley is gay. He dated a friend from High school

I also think James is hot. Gay?

Ranking from most gay to the least gay:

1. MICHAEL

2. Donathan

3. Bradley

4. Jaymes

5. BrenDAD

6. Wandell

7. Demonick

8. Jacub

9. Chris

10. Jenna

11. Sabestian

George Clooney to do new Taster’s choice coffee commercial....

LUST!

But did Bradley swallowed Michael's children?

Chris

Bradley and Michael look the same age, R387.

Gym teacher Bradley has a few pictures from Survivor that show off Michael's body and Sebastian's bulge.

It would be a hoot if three or four of these guys were gay. Would holy roller Burnette even allow such a thing? Include the women in this. Where are the showmances?

"Would holy roller Burnette even allow such a thing?" There are plenty of despicable things about Burnett, but he's no homophobe.

R392 Oh yeah? I recall many seasons back when a lesbian contestant had her partner come to the island when it was the loved ones episode and all the straight couples were shown kissing but not her. Was this Burnette or CBS?

There have been more gay people on Survivor than any other show on television. For Christ's sake, the first winner was gay.

Bradley sort of looks like that blond gay guy who used to be on that ABC series Revenge.

R394 For Christ's sake, it was the first season where no one knew what was going to happen and production probably had less of a hand in manipulation. Yeah, Hatch won but they also made sure to portray Rudy as a lovable old man despite his common use of queer and "I don't agree with that lifestyle" protestations. When they featured another out gay man in Season 3 (Africa), he was a nasty queen that everyone hated.

And we don't know anyone in real life like that,, do we

R390 Sebastian?? EW. NO. THANKS.

Aged-advanced Sebastian.

Sebastian looks like one of those blue aliens from Avatar.

Sebastian dries up mama's mussy

Has Chris had a nose job? It seems awfully...whittled

New episode of “Michael, The Realtor Teen Dream” on now! Bliss!

Oh, no, Michael’s team lost immunity! The show will become way less involving if he’s sent home.

If Michael is sent home, I will riot!

Beautiful crier

Awwww...Michael crying makes me cry!

yay! Dat Azz in the striped underwear with a run in them, no less, survives another week. They lost some guys who liked Steph's tits, no doubts, but we still have our boy's thighs. At least for another week. ( think the producers are not letting him go anywhere actually. He is gold).

I felt bad for Stephanie. I wish Jenna would've went instead so we wouldn't have to witness her fugly showmance Sebastian.

The producers seemed to like Steph a lot though and gave her a lot of airtime and a good edit. I wouldn't be surprised if they have her play again in the future.

I refuse to believe that Chelsea person has ever been on this season before tonight's episode.

Bradley saved his bf Michael

When Bradley speaks his mouth reminds me of a lamprey eel. He is really ugly.

Finally it seems the producers are in line with my preference-Michael. Throw immunity idols at him all day if you must, we deserve it after the last two winners of this show.

Michael's ass, I bet it taste amazing

Wendell has the most impressive bulge out for all the guys. Did you see it when he turned to the side during the immunity challenge? DAMN! That's big!

Has any other ousted contestant so far gotten the sympathetic edit Stephanie got this episode? Surprising since she revealed she left the Mormon religion. Then again, maybe Burnette belongs to a religion that looks askance at Mormons?

Most normals look askance at the LDS cult

Unfortunately, this season I like more of the people going home than the people staying. There's quite a few remaining that I get nothing from. At least with Bradley, Chris, Dominick, I don't love their characters but I have a reaction or some kind of feeling. But players like Chelsea and Des, they're just...there. Whether it's them or the editors, I just have no feeling about them, which is the worst thing that could happen for this show.

I get the feeling the editors want me to love Kellyn but I'm just not feeing it. She bugs me for some reason.

You’re right, r418 - except for Stefanie and female Urkel, all of the women blur together.

James was looking hot last night. He seems to be getting hotter while the others are looking ragged.

Aren’t Bradley and Michael roommates now, or is that a rumor?

[quote]James was looking hot last night. He seems to be getting hotter while the others are looking ragged.

I noticed that. It’s his beard and abs that’s working it!

R411 I feel more connection with Bradley and Michael than Jenna and Sebastian.

Did y'all see how Michael's eyes sparkled when he talked to Bradley?

While the other waxed, shaved, tweezed queens are getting scraggly and their body hair grows back, James is looking hotter and hotter in his natural state.

R396, what about the loveable gay twink who won? There have been a lot more evil straight contestant than gay ones. You can't cherry pick to make your stupid point.

[quote] While the other waxed, shaved, tweezed queens are getting scraggly and their body hair grows back, James is looking hotter and hotter in his natural state.

Yeah isn't amazing what being 18 and in great shape does for you.

Chris' instagram doesn't have a single picture of him and a girl. It's either him and his mum..or just him. He's either a narcissist or just GAY!

Michael's eyebrows in close up last night looked really weird. Like he'd had a good tweezing before or during the show and they were growing back, complete with mascara (or jungle mud if he is inventive). Funny, he was so butch in episode one and seems so queeny now,. every time he purses his lips. Or is it just my imagination?

Or maybe it's just more bad high definition TV. Sebastian looked weird as shit last night too.

Sebastian's half-closed, unfocused eyes are scary, and his flirting with Jenna and talking about braiding his hair made me uncomfortable.

Last night's episode was boring. Worst scenario for this show is when a tribe controlled by a strong alliance keeps losing challenges. Tribal Council in particular sucked, I don't know why they feel they need to show us Probst stringing it out endlessly when it's perfectly obvious what's going to go down. We didn't need to see Stephanie, Michael and whatsername whine endlessly about why they didn't want to get voted off. Good to see they're going to scramble things again next week.

R425 Well of course there are more straight bad guys. There are more straight guys period. Do the math. Want another example? I've already forgotten his name but that awful chubby guy who was on twice and was absolutely vile. Then there was Jeff Varner.

R431 The Jeff Varner who lost his job after outing Zeke as trans?

A list of LGBT Survivor contestants.

I'm wondering how many were out on the show or it was never mentioned. Spencer is gay? Was this ever revealed? I don't even recall some of these folks.

You may be thinking of the wrong Spencer. The gay Spencer actually revealed he was gay on his season.

I think r434 is thinking of the Spencer who played with Kat?

R436 Yeah, that's the guy in the picture of all the LGBT people who've been on the show.

Kat was never on a season with either Spencer.

This is Spencer Duhm on Survivor Tocantins.

This is Spencer Duhm now.

This is Spencer Bledsoe, from Cagayan and Second Chance.

Jeff Varner outed him...as possibly autistic. No known gay rumors.

Spencer Duhm was all "masc dudebro" when he was first out. Now he's a Drag Race–watching Instahoe.

Okay, wrong Spencer.

Michael not looking so good at the opening of tonight's show with a big pimple on his forehead.

Now he has a buff over it. LOL. But a less pretty Michael is still pretty amazing, especially from the waist down -- and the neck up.

Is Chris for real? He thinks he's charismatic? Humorless, yes.

I passed him on 7th Ave two days ago in NYC and he's not as big as he looks on tv.

Not a fan of Chris but that was quite a hit piece on him, compared to past ones where they seemed to be working a sympathy narrative because of his mother.

Chris Noble model page lists him as 6ft 1in.

Chris is in on the joke.

Michael remains perfect.

Can you trade a vote for a deep sniff of Michael’s worn boxer briefs? Is that allowed?

Watch in the challenge and you'll see they have a run. Those stripe undies are not long for this world (or that island). Please keep him around!

Wonder is the all the tribe swaps are to save money, reward challenge costs a lot more than handing out new buffs.

R447, he was tall but not big . Rather narrow.

The blindfold challenges make me anxious someone will chip a tooth

The balance beam challenges make me anxious someone will break an ankle

Anxiety! Got me on the run, spoils all the fun

Wow! Chris’ modeling portfolio is great - the underwear shots are hot.

We got knee long shorts on Michael this time. Wonder if Production got an eyeful of his ass in that ripped underwear. We might be out of luck or in for some blurs soon.

[quote] Can you trade a vote for a deep sniff of Michael’s worn boxer briefs? Is that allowed?

You probably don't even have to trade a vote for that deep sniff, just position yourself right in the sleep shelter at night.

But I’ll need some alone time with those boxer briefs.

How come Chris has a bulge in the modeling shots but barely on the island?

[quote]Spencer Duhm was all "masc dudebro" when he was first out.

Before they met and started dating, Spencer told a blogger that he was embarrassed by Survivor gays like Todd and Charlie Herschel.

[quote]Wow! Chris’ modeling portfolio is great.

Mine is better.

Chris Noble looks better all stinky and dirty on the island than he does in this modeling photo.

Why do James and Michael's hair looked like it had a comb ran through it at tribal council?

I am shocked Michael voted out James, I thought they were aligned.

James is very handsome

Chris's modeling agency isn't exactly Wilhelmina.

Bullshit. Click is a good one. They used to have an acting division called Flick (maybe still do?) where all the hot edgy actors were -- Vigo, Kelly Lynch, Rodney Harvey pre and during heroin addiction, etc.

Their nudie division is called Dick

Producers are saving Michael, yes?

One can only hope, R469

Lots of hot shots of James tonight. Sad to see him go. I thought he was really hot. Body was on point.

I knew James was a goner when we heard his sad childhood story.

[bold] DEMONICK VOTED OUT NEXT, PLEASEE!!!

[quote]I couldn’t have guessed my # 1 ally through 6 days would be a man born the year AFTER I graduated college. @michael.yerger is no ordinary 18 year old.

How did he find out he was 18? I guess his secret wasn't so safe after all. Or was he fooling no one with that 18 year old lie?

r474, he wrote that after the fact, no?

All the people I like are getting voted out, Stephanie and James. Michael is ok but not as crazy about him as several people on here seem to be.

Domenick can be very annoying, but he's not going anywhere. I'd be very surprised if anyone else other than him ends up winning this season. Bradley, Sebastian and Chris annoy me more.

I honestly feel that Demonick is the next person out.

Seems like purple tribe goes next tribal based on the previews. If that happens, Demonick or Donothan MUST go home.

Remember that is the last tribal before merge and everyone who goes home from there have big edits.

They could take Bradley out too. He's painted a target on himself. They could go after him first fearing Dom as an idol and flushing it out in the process. The week after next, when they're down to 13, is when Dom can play his advantage.

I think Chris will be going soon also. They started setting it up last night.

I'm amazed at how full of himself Bradley is.

I still don’t know who Bradley is.

I know Donathan and Dominic. And The Teen Realtor Dream, of course. But no one named Bradley. Is he the guy with the teeth?

Chelsea for the win!

Bradley is the white, thin law student who wears the light blue boxer briefs. He sometimes wears glasses, I think. He's the one who complained about how basic his new camp was after the tribe shuffle. He's in the center of this picture.

Michael gets a lot of time for pseudointellectual speeches, though Miss P does not seem to be smitten.

R478 But Bradley was invisible on the premier.

Based on the Survivor seasons I have watched Peter(32), Michaela(33), Jeff(34) and Ali(35) had consistent edits before their boot episodes.

This season, Michael, Donathan, Demonick, Chris and Kellyn have the bigger edits, so one of them is most probably going out next episode

Michael is still the hottest thing on that island, he makes me have dirty thoughts.

Chris is most definitely a goner.

Dom will go to the end. Mark it.

And if you start to omit the names on the list, it would be clearer that Domenick is out next.

Kellyn- NO WAY she is getting eliminated next.

Michael- the previews suggest that burning the malolo flag will end its "curse". I assume they would finally win.

Donathan- everybody underestimates him, so no one will view him as a threat for now. Also has great social bonds with people.

It's honestly just between Chris and Dom, but I dont think Chris' tribe will be on tribal since the green tribe is REALLY strong.

Thank you for pointing out Bradley. Yes, he’s the one with the teeth. He doesn’t rate so he can go.

Funny, creepy as he is, Bradley is probably considered attractive in his world. But on this Male Model edition of "Survivor", he indeed doesn't rate -- though his butt in the blue undies on some challenges is quite nice. But then we see his face again -- and, worse, his slimey personality.

Did they get bored with Ghost Island and decide to ignore it in favor of creating a third tribe?

Michael is astonishingly beautiful, yet oddly not hot.

I wondered the same thing, R490. Maybe they finally realized it was stoopit.

Ghost Island was stupid, I have watched every season of Survivor and most of those idol curses I don't even remember or the people who experienced them. No way is this group of survivors remembering these past contestants and how their idols never worked out, so production is feeding them the story and then they relay it back on camera like it was yesterday. I give this group of survivor and A for their acting, Probst an F for this stupid idea.

Bradley isn't bad looking and lets face it most of us would have more of a chance with a guy that looks like him instead of with Michael.

I did notice Bradley's eyes last night, light green, they looked amazing.

I think Bradley is hot. Him being whiny and delusional actually makes me think he’d be a great bottom.

I keep waiting for Bradley to put on glasses, turn to the camera and talk about he switched from Sprint to Verizon.

Bradley is decent-looking. However, I seem to always lose interest in him during his testimonials, when his self-centered, better-than-the-others attitude comes out. If he were more humble, I think he would be a fan favorite.

Isn't Bradley a lawyer? That explains everything.

Law school student. Even worse than lawyers.

It seems like Kellyn is getting a winners edit and that would be a shame. She bores me.

Chris “I don’t want everyone to know I’m a model because for some reason people think models are stupid”. Moments later...”I don’t think it would be beneficiary for me”. Hahahaha!

Young, dumb and most assuredly, full of cum.

Chris has the body of a god and the voice of Buffalo Bill.

They really need to get rid of splitting into 3 smaller tribes. It always sucks because with only 5 people, there's no where to hide or maneuver. It always just comes down to former tribal alligence and that's no fun to watch. You want to watch someone play Survivor and maneuver between these people to find cracks but you can't do it with 5 people. Rob Cestrenino was screwed by this too. He said he would have been able to avoid being voted out if his tribe wasn't so small to begin with.

I really wanted Des to be voted out this week for the simple fact that we won't have to waste a whole week in the future devoted to voting her out. What boring episodes those weeks would be when they vote Des, Chelsea, or Kellyn out. They should just do double or triple evictions during those weeks to get all the anonymous women out so we can move along with the real game.

Des should have gotten voted out. James is a hottie. He seems of the homosex persuasion.

Someone named JP is taking his half-naked photos

Looking very....

This JP?

Or this JP?

Sexy!

It's probably just a "friend" of Michael's that also happens to be named JP

These 20 member casts are a bit much. Last episode a couple of folks were talking about Libby being sneaky and a player and I was like 'Who the fuck is Libby ?'

Sad Michael voted against James, but he had to watch his own back I guess.

I hope Donathan stays under the radar to the end. But his social game may overplay his lack of physical prowess ...............once they merge he's the 'You never take him to the end' guy. 'The jury loves him'

Greta Garbo eyes!

It’s always Libby. Or Ashley. Or Chelsea. Or Jenna. Or Krista. Can’t trust any of them.

OMG, what did he do to his eyebrows at R515?

Can you grow back your eyebrows?? I fucked up mine and trimmed a portion of my left eyebrow when I was a kid for no reason :(

R514 Watching his own back, means being a duplicitous turd. As soon as I see someone betray the person they've befriended, I immediately root against them.

Michael wasn't really in an alliance with James. He was with Brendan, Libby, Jenna and Steph.

Weird, those Instagram photos are making me like Michael less and less. There is nothing less attractive than someone that already knows he is. (I prefer the ones who don't -- or pretend to even if obvious, the ones who let you and others supply that affection). It's like that old Debra Winger quote when asked if she liked Kathleen Turner: "She doesn't NEED me to like her."

And, yeah, he didn't need to vote for James. A random vote thrown out there would have been fine. Same result, good PR for Michael instead of betrayal of at least a friend, if not a true ally.

R520 Tell that to James...you see his reaction towards Michael? He was betrayed.

James had a boner for Michael.

Interesting picture for a "19 year old" to post.

Damn his jawline is perfection

R523 I have a feeling the boner was mutual.

Hes beautiful.

Michalel looks like the type of gay whose not into fats, fems and asians.

If there was any lingering doubt about Michael's sexuality, those eyebrows in R524 's pic should provide the final answer. Mary!

I think he's dating Libby

R530 Just friends.

Michael is straight.

R532 Hi Michael.

R532 someone needs to tell his Instagram that.

Shower time!

On my honor...

Not so twinkish.

Nice briefs!

I started following Michael on IG. He most definitely is NOT straight. I also follow several other sexy model types who are openly gay, and Michael also follows them, I noticed, and he "likes" a lot of the sexier pics these guys post.

Yeah, there's no way that kid is straight.

Not str8 !!

His photos are very homoerotic.

Now that we know Michael is gay, does Datalounge hate him? Or do we still love him because he’s closeted?

Has Michael met Dylan Gleick yet?? The collective DL head would explode!!

No wonder why Miss P isn't smitten. He only lusts after the heteros

R544 Well, they haven't met yet for sure. Mich's not following him yet. But 10/10 they'd fuck the first moment they get.

Jylan fangirls would hate Michael's ass by then

The boy is a stud!

I want to see Chris fuck Michael.

He's a realtor, for crying out loud. That's gayer than figure skating.

He's a randy Republican. The new CF Conrad!

9 inches baby

Hmmm. R551 doesn't look like 9" to me since he's fairly hard in those briefs and he's maybe 5-6" in the photo. Very nice though.

Wow I didn't realize his snaps were so raunchy. Next stop, onlyfans

Forget the D. I want to eat Yerger's fur burger!

R554 gets it. His ass is his best part!

Is Michael the gay?

Those are the lamest Photoshop jobs ever.

I know, r557 !

Judging by the posts, the show itself must be dull as fuck.

Showing his hot belly.

Hot hair!

Eye makeup!

With Oprah!

Hunkboy...

Wet T-Shirt!

Is it possible he gets gayer with each pic?

If he's only 19, it seems that nearly all of the pictures we've seen of him have been taken within the last year or two based on his appearance, build, etc. He sure does have a lot of time and opportunities for taking selfies, posing for modeling gigs, and traveling around the country/world. And still he's a real estate agent. Something about this just doesn't make sense to me. He's beautiful, but I'm a little suspicious.

Since the Ghost Island season was filmed in the summer of 2017, maybe he won and he's been kicking back knowing he has a big paycheck coming soon?

Omg, he won??

It's between him, Donathan or Kellyn. I have to see 2 post-merge episodes to determine the winner.

So CBS itself just spoiled who the next person out is. They deleted it now obv.

Sucks, I would've liked to see that person go further :(

Who was it?

POST SPOILERS ELSEWHERE PLEASE

R572 Go to this thread and view my comment at R568

If anyone is interested which goes to GI, view this thread and look for r50. I altered the name as well.

Omg!!

14 left jury should be starting soon.

It's a fucking stick! That was a classic Survivor moment. Micronesia was one of the best seasons.

Now Michael's stick has big power attached to it.

I don’t complain about blatant producer manipulation when the sexy guys stumble on Immunity Idols.

Those eyes.... those lips....

Of course we don't know what we aren't seeing but it seems that those that look for the idols are the ones who find idols.

Maybe this "JP" is is friend that he refers to as "jumpman" or "Jordan."

He's in a lot of Michael's instagram photos.

Is there anything Chilidish Gambino CAN’T do?

The guy with the weird mouth is a real bitch.

Because the crew covering them are "looking" for idols. "Why is the cameraman pointing at that rock? Hmmmm...."

God, get rid of Bradley please. He is every third gay bitch at a bar on Santa Monica. Throw a stick and hit ten of him there.

At gay bars, it’s always the Bradleys who make fun of the Donathans who stare at the Michaels who get all the sex.

That Chelsea reminds me of Lindsay Lohan.

LIbby with the Herpes sore

Bradley's face moves like Gilbert Gottfreid's. Painful and twisty.

I bet even Michael would choose Donathan over fucking nasty Bradley. Who'd want a Bradley in the house?

(Proud of Donathan and his ring tossing ability. He really is a great little Dark Horse. Best cast in a long time -- guys, anyway).

Michael and Bradley have been photographed out side the game, to my knowledge Michael and Donathan haven't been.

Excellent.

Bradley reminded me of Clutch Cargo, the old show where the characters had cartoon faces and real lips speaking the lines. His mouth looked off-center somehow.

He is so clueless.

Probably because Michael and Bradley are both in Los Angeles -- probably West Hollywood -- and Donathan is back home in Kentucky, no doubt. He's not going to be an actor with that voice. Michael could though.

Don't know how old this picture of Michael Yerger is but it is the first one I have seen that he looks like he could be an 18 year old. Probably taken when he was 15-16.

Bradley doesn't seem to have much self awareness. Very full of himself also. Glad he's gone.

Looks like Domenick vs Chris looks like it comes to a climax next week. I'm betting Dom comes out on top based on him having a an advantage he can play next week and he has gotten a much better edit than Chris.

Don't both Dom and Chris have idols, I can't keep track of who all has them.
