Koror must have some kind of magic secrets of some sort that the viewers aren't aware of.
Koror's secret may be in their unity and hard work ethic. Between Tom and Ian, they're both great at morale. Forget what that nitwit, crabby lawyer Karen said - all praise Tom, are ya with me now.....bla bla bla. We just flat-out told her to the TV screen - oh quit your whining bi-atch! I thought I'd like her but so far, no, not much to say positive about Karen. Did you all catch.....
Tom's cartwheel? Was the first cartwheel performed on Survivor? LOL
What else.....I was impressed with the bathroom facilities Koror built and especially how they separated the shower from the "commode" - very tasteful - who wants to take a you know what next to a teammate showering? LOL We just knew they'd win the shelter prize.
Poor Ulong.....zero unity. I said to my family - their problem is they don't have a leader yet. After all this time! Sure Jeff could have been it, but he's gone. Glad Kim Lazybones - LOL Eric - is long gone. She deserved to go. I do wonder if she was as lazy 24/7 as she was portrayed to be on aired scenes. I've read countless times that there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that never makes it on-air. But honestly, I never saw her work hard at anything but talking! Talking - yup, that was about it, or making those silly scrunched up faces she made.
FYI - if you all didn't catch this announcement, Survivor airs next Wednesday, not Thursday. Is that b/c of a countdown to the final four? LOL - can you tell I'm not into college basketball? he he

Thanks Tomboudreau!
Here's a critique about last night's episode at TV Guide - I always enjoy these reviews.....wish I had THAT job!!! LOL

Survivor
Loved the American Gladiator inspired challenge, if there was just a guy named Turbo in too tight Lycra on the Koror tribe I would have been all set. But instead we had to suffer through stupid comments from the garbled James:
"I guess the other team won" — his well, duh moment when it was pitch black outside and the reward for the winning team was due to be delivered before sunset.
"I'm gonna stomp anybody's a-- that lags." — His lame attempt to inspire his tribemates to win immunity.
"It feels terrible to have my butt whooped by a homosexual. But a lot of gay folks are strong, they work out at the gym and all." — After Coby knocked him off the floating platform... twice.
Meanwhile, the slacking Kim got sent packing, and its about time. Thank goodness Angie and Stephanie decided against the all girl alliance, did someone finally remind them how poorly that concept worked out for the Vanuatu gals? Even Jeff Probst looked disgusted with the Ulong tribes losing streak and their lack of leadership. I love it when he gets that stern look on his face. But the biggest problem for the Ulong tribe isn't their inability to win, it is their lack of clothing. The poor intern who gets paid to blur out offensive things is working over time between Bobby Jon's butt hanging out of his droopy drawers and Angie's skimpy bra revealing way too much of her tattoos. Just wondering how come they didn't blur out James's mouth, because that's the most potentially offensive thing on the show. — Angel Cohn

Good for you Angel! I meant to call James out on his very insenstive gay comments. They were just not nice!

Yeah, I'm wondering when they'll merge too. Or at the very least, swap members so others can enjoy that premo-shelter Home Depot built for them.
When I saw the HD boat pulling up the first time, I thought what would I want built on this island....a bathroom. But didn't say it outloud. As soon as Jeff Probst said each tribe would be doing just that, I said aha, that is precisely what I'd miss too! LOL

It's also on Wednesday on March 23rd... it will be back on Thursdays on March 31st.

Tom is great it being a quiet force to be reckoned with. Wouldn't you want HIM in any emergency? I know I would.

I would have to set a fire or two

LOL Sunny......pssst, remember you are almost our MOTM winner!!!! My eyes, my eyes......just kidding....yeah that Tom could rescue me too.
There's just something about a guy who looks too young to have white-gray hair, that's appealing to me now.
10 years ago I wouldn't have felt this way!!!

He should have scorned them for not picking an ambassador and randomly picked one himself. That's what I would have done.
Oh, and I would have picked Kim.
Well, I probably would have drawn straws, but I would have wanted to pick Kim, fer sure!

Survivor: Palau [New]
8 pm/ET, CBS
The clueless members of Ulong, who've been defeated in four straight immunity challenges, are on the wrong show. They should be on Lost. They don't have any idea what's going on or what to do to escape their predicament. Tonight, they even get lost in the woods after they abandon camp during a storm to search for a dry cave. With college basketball hooping it up during March Madness for the next two Thursdays, Survivor switches to Wednesdays and airs opposite — you guessed it — Lost. How appropriate! — Tim Holland

Are Survivor's Kim and Jeff in Love?
by Angel Cohn
http://www.tvguide.com/news/insider/
Forget The Apprentice. The real test of book smarts vs. street smarts played out on last week's Survivor: Palau, where the Ulong tribe's never-ending losing streak forced the remaining members to choose between the well-educated Kim Mullen and James Miller, an often unintelligible steel worker. The tribe opted to off Kim — a 25-year-old grad student from Ohio — because of her tendency to rest on her duff while others busted their butts. Here, she rings up TVGuide.com to defend her lazy ways and set the record straight about canoodling with fellow reject Jeff Wilson.
TVGuide.com: Where did you go wrong?
Kim Mullen: Let's see... Where did it go right? It started off good and then just went downhill. If I had done my part and won my match in the last immunity challenge, there is a probability that I could still be there because the guys were losing. But since I didn't, they chalked it up to what was going on at camp and what I am capable of, versus the others.
TVG: Were you actually able to do more and simply chose not to?
Kim: No! I did get firewood and boil the water, but I'm not going to be able to hack down a tree. Opening a coconut with a machete is [also] a lot harder than it seems.
TVG: You weren't just slacking off?
Kim: It wasn't that as much as I was really worn down. I was doing what I could do and it was just getting worse. If I had another chance, I would have physically prepared more beforehand. I was right in the heat of graduate school when I was getting ready to leave, so I was trying to get papers done, take tests and [I] was glued in front of the computer when I really wish I could have been glued to the gym.
TVG: Speaking of school, why are you learning Arabic?
Kim: I really wanted to be able to get both sides of stories [in the news] and just have access to a culture that I wasn't familiar with. By learning the language, I was able to open a whole new gate of understanding. I'm glad I did. I can click on sites and newspapers and read people's perspectives and kind of understand where the other side is coming from.
TVG: Do you plan to do something political when you get your doctoral degree?
Kim: Eventually, I would like to be a professor and do consulting work for international organizations and maybe write and do analytical work in the [political] news arena.
TVG: OK, sounds impressive. So why did you go on Survivor?!
Kim: [Laughs] Well, I like traveling and doing crazy things. I wanted to go live in exotic places. I mostly study the Middle East and Africa. With Africa, we study the beginning of time and forming tribes around water and the need for fire. It was so ironic because the entire time I was out there getting the fire going and being near the water, I kept thinking, "This is like my textbooks brought to life." It all really did make perfect sense.
TVG: Did your textbooks mention the backstabbing part?
Kim: No, they didn't talk much about the tribes backstabbing each other. And they didn't have these immunity challenges back in the day.
TVG: Were you surprised by some of the not-so-nice comments people made about you?
Kim: I think one of the biggest surprises was with the romance between Jeff and I — Stephanie seemed to be the biggest supporter of it. [She was] saying, "I'm not threatened by it" to our faces. To see her advocating [our] dismissal [on the show] was kind of surprising.
TVG: What was going on with you and Jeff?
Kim: It started off that we weren't sleeping and were up late chitchatting while everybody else was sleeping. And then it grew from there.
TVG: So you're just friends?
Kim: [Giggles] More than...
TVG: Think you'll date him now?
Kim: I'd like to, and we keep in touch. We'll see what happens.
TVG: So you liked Jeff. Was there anyone you really didn't get along with?
Kim: James. He didn't like me. He made it perfectly clear to my face that he did not like me.
TVG: Why? What did you do to upset him?
Kim: I picked him to be on the tribe; that is the worst I did. He didn't like the thing between me and Jeff. He pulled us aside individually and basically told us he didn't want us together and we shouldn't be talking — and that just escalated things and made it that much worse. He had it out for me.
TVG: What surprised you most about the game?
Kim: Losing so much. I didn't expect that we were going to lose and that I would be going home. Our whole tribe, the morale was going down. Everybody was getting ticked off about losing over and over again.
TVG: Do you think the Ulongs could make a comeback?
Kim: Everybody was getting ticked off about losing over and over again. I sure the heck hope they can pull some rabbit out of their hat. It would be nice, and I still am rooting for them all the way.
TVG: You're back at school now. Any plans to use your Survivor fame to pursue acting or modeling?
Kim: No. My goal [in doing Survivor] was to pay for school and pay off my loans. I didn't, so that is that.
TVG: Would you ever do anything like this reality-TV adventure again?
Kim: I would do this in a heartbeat. Definitely.
Because of Thursday night's NCAA college basketball tournament, Survivor: Palau airs tonight at 8 pm/ET on CBS.
