SCRebel Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Another older person is the first to bite the dust. Guess there wasn't much could do. He was dealt a bad hand with women that initially bonded because of similarities they had. He needed his tribe to get that immunity but the whiteys beat them out.

SCRebel Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 This season will be tough when it comes to learning the names of the contestants. Usually, it's easy to remember things like "Oh yeah, Cirie's the black lady", this season, no such luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLYNWA Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 sekou and the other guy should not have stepped away when they were supposed to choose a person for exhile island. they completley stood out that they were not ONE tribe when they did that. you could see in the ladies faces-- it was like HEY WTF IS UP WITH THAT? also Jeff just had to point it out as if!

SCRebel Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I don't think that had much to do with it. Which random person goes to exile island isn't really a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjcs Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 He seemed like he was doing a good job getting things organized and setting priorities. They are going to regret losing him because he seems like he would have alot of strength for competitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklet Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I can look at it two ways...They were idiots because they voted off their strongest player...or I could also say that he could have been the weakest player when it came to racing because he was over weight and it might have slowed them down..... I dont know???? Tonight I thought it was pure t comedy...from one tribe stealing chickens then letting them get loose..another lying about how they have all these experiences (how are you going to chop down a tree with a bambo stick) ...um bad wind ( which may be true but it still was funny) and the last tribe took them it seem like 15 hours to get a boat together...I was like geesh and threw my hands up .. pure t comedy...pure t comedy..

tan2relax Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 This looks like is is going to be an interesting season. I think they made the wrong choice in voting out Sekou. Now they only have 1 guy, those ladies are gonna be doing a lot of hard labor around camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TV_Paige Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Wasn't Sekou the guy that told the other exiled tribe member about karma? Did karma come back and bite him in the behind? I didn't catch it but one of the men from the losing tribe said something about karma regarding the chicken. How many years has "Survivor" been on? That's a rhetorical question. My point is the last thing you want to do is take control as the leader in the first show . . . it's a sure tiki torch extinguished ticket home. It seems a shame because he seemed like a nice guy.

Mendes56 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I think it was the right choice to vote him off. I didn't like the way he bragged about a fire he couldn't build. It could have been selective editing, but he really didn't do a whole lot. And who was in charge of putting the boat together. I think he also was working on the puzzle, trying to force the pieces together rather than thinking about it and going at it rationally. I don't think it is a big loss. The women should be able to do some heavy lifting and hopefully pull the tribe together. I also don't like that pouty little boy on their team, I don't think he'll last long.

squirrel Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I agree bad move to vote him out. The gals are sticking together which is a better move. I always hate seeing the first person to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBinSavannah Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I believe they made the right move to vote off Sekou. None of those girls are fearful like Cirie was in the beginning. I think they'll be able hold their own. Although I do get the impression that the two girls that have become friends believe that they are their own tribe. I don't see them being team players at all.

Methos Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Yep, bad move voting him off. If the next few challenges require some sort of strength, they are going to really miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
