Where are the camera operators?! Do they have too few around?
Tina Wesson, who was virtually ignored during the season premiere, tells the camera, “if he had beef jerky I’d kill him.” And then Tina looks in Kel’s bag! I think this is the very first occasion in Survivor history when someone does that-yet is not captured on camera. She’s recounting this the cameras did not capture it. Jerri says she caught Kel eating something that looked like beef jerky. Two in a row.”īack at camp, the conversation is about who is going to be sent home-Kel-though it is not framed as strategizing. Probst is just kind of there, among the tribes, and says, almost casually, “Yeah, you guys are on a hot streak. While Jeff Probst starts the challenge with both tribes placed on their mats-and remains mercifully silent the whole time-the conclusion is once again less organized, letting the spontaneous celebration mark the victory rather than Probst’s screaming. (The editing is, again, very choppy.) This news about his lack of swimming ability also added additional horror for me to the episode-one immunity challenge moment where Rodger’s foot became entangled in netting in the water. He did not look thrilled, but also made it with no problem.

We learn that Rodger cannot swim-or at least, just learned how to swim immediately before coming onto the show. I so appreciate how both this and episode one’s immunity challenge have incorporated the landscape, rather than just clearing out a space and building an obstacle course there, which is why so often happens in modern Survivor. (This challenge had press on location covering it.) The reward challenge takes place at a cliff, where the tribe members have to jump off and swim to a crate, one at a time, before swimming through some small rapids to a beach. It’s a brilliant moment and the first instance of camera operator sassiness that I can recall.Ĭolby is so dismissive of Kel’s efforts he delivers this amazing quip: “The guy couldn’t fish a rubber ducky out of a bathtub.” The camera then dips underwater and pans over to show us a bunch of fish. Watching them lounge in the swirling, shallow waters of the river, I flashed forward to next season, Survivor Africa, when the contestants will literally have a shithole as a water source.Īs they relax, several tribe members-Colby, Keith, Mitchell-talk about how there are just no fish and this is futile. So, too, does Kel, though his tribe wants to just relax in the “family whirlpool,” as Marilyn describes it.
Without mentioning Richard Hatch’s name, he adopts Hatch’s strategy of trying to become the tribe’s provider. Nearly all of the camp footage we see is about food, starting with Mike Skupin declaring himself “a student of nutrition” and thinking “it was odd” that his tribe was annoyed that he woke them up with a pot of rice that he wrecked by overcooking it after not consulting anyone. This episode also could have been titled “The Hunger Games,” because nearly everything involves food, from Jerri establishing her villainy by accusing Kel, without evidence, of eating beef jerky, to the immunity challenge, which an eating challenge that pushed Kimmi to her vegetarian limits. This episode could have been titled “The One That Beat Friends in the Ratings,” because CBS put Survivor up against NBC’s Friends, and won. Today, Survivor: The Australian Outback, episode 2, “Suspicion,” which originally aired Thursday, Feb. “That must be incredible.This spring, I’m recapping Survivor’s second season week by week, roughly 20 years after each episode premiered. “If the cows could talk, imagine the story they can tell you of enduring that rush of water,” he added. Horvat said on Wednesday from the park, which has 56 miles of beaches and is known for its black-and-white-checkered lighthouse, surf fishing and wild horses. “It’s a tremendous story of how they made it,” Mr. He said that the cows’ caretaker, Woody Hancock, had identified them as being from Cedar Island. The cattle are believed to have arrived at the federal park by swimming at least two miles across the Core Sound from Cedar Island, according to a park spokesman, B.G. To the surprise of residents and national park officials, three of those cows were recently discovered at the Cape Lookout National Seashore park on the Outer Banks. Rising floodwaters swept over the land, and a storm surge carried a group of horses and cows out to sea. 6, lashing the state with heavy rain, wind and flooding after it made landfall on the Outer Banks, a chain of narrow barrier islands off the main coast.
