Survivor Cook Islands -- SIX WEEKS IN THE BOOKS AND SEVEN PEOPLE BOOTED

Muh wife was out with one of our nieces in the past few years and she said "I am the boredest bored I have ever been." It is a great phrase and muh wife and I use it all the time...

And... that's how I am starting to feel about this season of Survivor... yet... I am still intrigued by the interaction and it is in a week or so when the game starts turning the nasty shade of black that I love.

I was expecting a much more dynamic group of people this year with the different groups but they have all proven to be uninteresting dolts. Even that wacky and interesting ones are... not...

But... to flip that, Survivor has gotten itself into a rut recently with its challenges. This year has been a bit of a turn around where they remain fair... but not impossible for "weaker" trips to win.

My favorite challenge so far involved tribes holding onto posts that another member of the tribe had to walk across. it required a lot of team work as the trip was pretty far... and .. it was in the ocean... very cool.

Here are more of my thoughts...

I also really liked the challenge just yesterday when they had a "wrestling" challenge. They crawled and brawled and wrestled and stuff. The opposing tribes had to get one of the other tribe members to let go of a pole and drag them to a finish line. Girls and guys.

Thank god Cowboy is off.... he was annoying the piss out of me.

I can't figure it out... but usually, people get dirties and grosser as they spend more time in the sun and dirt... but ... Parvati and even Jessica are getting cuter as the season goes along. Tangent Woman concurs...

It was kind of mean to not feed Cowboy even though he was part of the winning tribe.

Jeff wears the dumbest hats...

I was finding this season pretty boring, too, but I actually liked the challenge this week, and the everyone-on-the-tiny-platform one last week. So there's that, at least, even if the show overall is a little dull this year.
