Anybody watch it?

What was that at the end? Did they find the rougaroo, or better yet, did it find them?

Yes, I watch it. Glad they gave the guy from Monroe a second chance. They put him in an impossible situation the first time (no water source). I am perplexed in that the last duo that was in the Atch. did pretty well by living off snakes. I dont understand why they are relying on fish baskets, which I have never seen work. I think it would be better to pole small gators or go after snakes. Also have a problem with their shelter, but thats a long story. Hope he makes it. and to your question....yes that looks spooky and I dont know.

The chick says she had sex with a Incubus. My wife was laughing deliriously during that story. Her comment-"She's batshit crazy!"



I concur.

The chick was cracking us up hardcore. She is certifiable.

Mine too.


I don't know the best way to combat the mosquitoes, but I would have to figure something out fast or I'd be out just as fast as that first girl.

Or, I'd have taken a mosquito net as my survival item.

What an absolute joke.
I've never watched the show before, but just watched this episode on demand since it was in Louisiana. I've always wished they'd do a Survivor episode in Louisiana. The first "survivalist" woman quits after 2 nights because of mosquitoes??? Who knew there would be mosquitoes at night in nature? I've heard Survivor contestants talk about permanent scarring from bug bites. It's a given.

The first snake they killed was a juvenile Cottonmouth, not a Copperhead. I can't believe a guy FROM Louisiana who is attempting to live in a swamp for 21 days doesn't know basic snake identification. Then the second woman literally CRIES because she came across a Cottonmouth and "didn't have any means to defend herself"? She has feet. All she had to do was walk away. That snake wants nothing to do with her unless she becomes the aggressor. How do these people get on a survival show? And I don't get the naked part. I don't want to think about the bugs crawling up your cooch or see the cottage cheese on your arse. Put some damn drawers on. It won't make one bit of a difference in your survival.

My wife and I almost died laughing at the preview of the next half of the show. The girl slides down a bank into the edge of the water and something big splashes in the water in front of her.

She stands with her arms against the bank and wide-eyed and says
"I almost (bleep)ed in my invisible panties" LOL

Just a dramatic way to pitch the show...harder to survive without clothes

Is it though? Would a pair of drawers and a t-shirt really be the deciding factor in their survival?

I keep thinking about the Seinfeld good naked/bad naked. I can't imagine her squaring down, eating turtle as being good naked

They get to cover themselves if they find material or they can make some from vegetation.

I think part of the reason they want them to be naked is so they can show all the bug bites all over their body. Plus it makes them colder at night and have to worry about sunburns in the day. There was a guy a few season ago that was sunburned so bad he left before the 21 days were up. I've watched the show from the beginning and never miss it. What I've never understood is why don't they ever wrap leaves or put tree bark on their feet? Also why do they wait until the last day to head towards the extraction point? I think I'd go halfway at minimum the day before.

They show snakes every chance they get. Even snakes that aren't indigenous get airtime. Come out of commercial break... snake slithering. Go to commercial break... snake striking at something. Hear a weird noise at night... anaconda slithering by.
