Review: Survivor Samoa – The First 27 Days – TV Squad

November 27th, 2009

Shambo was really rude and paranoid in this recap, not believing anything that Laura or any of the other “girls” said. She put herself out of the group, not them.

Laura made an effort to comfort her when she was upset and her response, later in a private confessional? “Don’t make me throw up on your face.”

A couple other choice Shambo quotes:

“The tribe of Galu is going to take me deep into the game. Oh, I am so appreciative. These people can kiss my ass.”

“Drop the bull***t about Galu loyalty, because there is none. It’s Puff the Magic Freakin’ Dragon.”

Okay, Jaison has issues. He threatened John because John didn’t follow the rules in a challenge. Immediately regretting his words, he seems haunted by his own past.

Okay, Russell is odd. He took the chance and wore his hidden immunity idol while stalking sleeping castaways and talking with Dave in the dark. Huh?

Okay, Shambo is a shambles. But we knew that. Laura did honestly seem to be trying to be nice and in no way did she “intrude on a private moment” with Shambo. Shambo decided to have her “private moment” in front of her. Laura did the only decent thing to do in trying to make her feel better.

Jeff Probst blogs his Thanksgiving thoughts | EW.com

November 26th, 2009

E0456DE8-DEF4-41D8-870B-13845E52B27A.jpg

Hey guys,

No blog this week.  I’m having Thanksgiving with the family. Hope you are all having a good holiday and enjoyed the “recap” show.

If you didn’t enjoy it, don’t blame me!  I don’t really like them either
but sometimes they’re a necessary evil, because…

INSIGHT: In the television world, Thanksgiving evening is a tough night to get people to watch television.  So often networks will
air re-runs or “specials” and save their original episodes for the following week.

Same thing often happens with Survivor during March Madness when college basketball takes over the airwaves. We just don’t want any of our loyal fans to miss out on an episode of Survivor.  Especially this season with so much great stuff happening.

‘Survivor: Samoa’: Recapping the recap! | EW.com

November 26th, 2009

83B8B7F0-8C8E-4FCA-B05D-7360C5BECA48.jpg

Shamu…I mean, Shambo was undoubtedly the star of this episode. We saw her calling Dave a moron for taking over making the fire (which he was successful at). We later couldn’t help but sympathize with her when Dave began treating her like a little kid by refusing to share their alliance’s strategy with her for fear that she would spill the beans.

“The tribe of Galu is going to take me deep into the game. Oh, I am so appreciative,” said Shambo sarcastically. “These people can kiss my ass.”

This was not her best line of the night, however. That would be after Laura tried to comfort Shambo who was grieving over her dead siblings, yet couldn’t help but insist that the former marine was paranoid for thinking the other girls didn’t like her.

Shambo’s response? “Don’t make me throw up on your face.” Had she actually done so, it would have only been THE BEST DELETED SCENE EVER!

Shambo still wasn’t done, though. She then hilariously called out Monica for trying to get her to join back up in one big, happy Galu alliance.

“Drop the bull about Galu loyalty,” responded Shambo. “Because there is none. It’s Puff the Magic Freakin’ Dragon.” (I take it back, dragons on Survivor would be the best deleted scene ever.)

And how do you top that for an encore? You sing! Yes, all of our suspicions about Shambo being an 80s arena rocker were confirmed when she closed the episode by crooning the words — at least some of them — to “Eye of the Tiger.” (By, of course, Survivor.)

‘Survivor: Samoa:’ Brett makes an appearance!

November 26th, 2009

30B880B9-FF1A-42E5-AE33-624F6B1510F8.jpg

We also learned that Shambo is playing the game more than we realized. She didn’t want to be the pawn of Erik, John, and the little “Galu boy’s club.” She wanted to pave her own path, which could explain why she has decided to flip to Foa Foa.

The wild cards
Jaison was put in a very favorable light this week, as we learned that his family hasn’t always lived an easy life. He never wants to make excuses for himself in fear of “disappointing” his family. On the other hand, the editors have done a very good job of showing Jaison struggling and complaining. Which Jaison are we really seeing? I don’t think we’ll ever see the guy quit, but it’s tough to tell if he will make it to the end.

Mick, meanwhile, was made out to be the worst leader of all time. At Foa Foa he was reluctant to make any big decisions, instead choosing to let somebody else make the call. Mick seems to be preoccupied with staying out of the way. He did do one brilliant move: realizing that he could use Russell’s financial success to his advantage.

The Deadbolt Interview – Breaking a Survivor Tie with Laura Morett of Survivor Samoa

November 21st, 2009

0C4ECF4B-6F61-4B70-A0CE-D3EB6B9DD31F.jpg

THE DEADBOLT: Since that crazy blindside last week, did you ever regret voting Erik off?

LAURA: Yes, we did [laughs]. At the time, when Erik was still there – I mean, what’s going through my mind is that I knew John threw my name out there. I knew Shambo is coming for me. I know Russell is coming for me and Mick and Jaison and Natalie. And then to hear that Erik is coming after me, too, it was just one of those things where it’s like I picked up a gun and I’m going to shoot at somebody, because I have everybody coming after me and he was the one that got shot. I mean, obviously I ended up shooting myself in the foot because we should’ve kept him on there. So definitely a bad choice.

THE DEADBOLT: What was it like facing him at Ponderosa?

LAURA: [laughs] You know, I love Erik, he’s a great guy. One of the great things about him is he’s a huge competitor, and I appreciate that. But he was still clearly just a little bit, “What! How could you do that? I’m purple. I’m purple all the way.” But again, what he didn’t know was Brett was telling me everything that the guys were talking about. So whether he denied it or confirmed it or not, I knew that he was really threatened by me and Monica and that I was definitely on his range as a target. So I’m like, “Erik, come on, let’s be real. You know that you were coming for me.”

I get how he was upset. But it wasn’t until – not this episode, but the episode before when Kelly got blindsided – he actually sent me a text and he was just like, “Morett, I’m really sorry,” because he thought he could control Shambo. And the whole time I’m like, ‘You can’t. The woman hates me Erik, trust me she is not going to not write my name down.’ And he’s like, “Morett, I can control her.” So he texted me and said, “I’m sorry, I had no idea you had that many people coming after you.” He thought I was delusional. He thought, “You’re panicking.” And I’m like, “I’m not. I have these people coming for me.” And he’s like, “Morett, you have to calm down.” So after he saw the show, and after he saw that John would flip and Shambo would flip, it was nice to hear it. It was nice to hear him say, “I see where you were coming from.”

THE DEADBOLT: What was behind the division between you and Shambo? What happened there?

Tie vote leads to Laura being voted out during an episode that was “good sh*t,” as Erik said + reality blurred

November 20th, 2009

06783959-E81F-403C-85EA-BF5B6DABCF1D.jpg

Of course, Galu screwed itself by turning on its own, and Laura told me that while “I regret voting him out because I like Erik as a person,” she said she doesn’t regret the vote because “I was on [Erik and John’s] chopping list.” She said she was thinking, “I have five, six people running after me to get me. I just pick up a weapon and fire.” Of course, she said, “in hindsight, looking back, we should have kept Erik.”

As to her conflict with Shambo, which has led to criticism of Laura’s behavior, Laura said she can only “assume what it was” that Shambo didn’t like about her. “If I would have to guess why, she wanted to be the strong girl on the tribe, she wanted to be the go-to girl on the tribe,” Laura told me. But instead, Galu often chose Laura to do physical tasks in challenges or asked her for advice, and combined with Shambo’s immediate exclusion of herself, led to that conflict.

Laura said that “it’s frustrating to watch it and kind of get cast as the mean one,” and challenged anyone to “show one thing that I did that was mean to her. If CBS had footage of me being mean to her, they would show it,” Laura said. Instead, Laura said that it was Shambo who “would constantly come after me,” and our perception of Laura’s meanness “is only what Shambo said. Just because it was her perception” doesn’t make it true.

Exclusive ‘Survivor: Samoa’ interview: Laura Morett

November 20th, 2009

B9EA2DC8-D51B-4ACD-B237-78A1867BC358.jpg

Laura had many friends in Samoa, but if that comment is any indication she also had her share of enemies. One of those, clearly, was Shambo: “I didn’t do anything to her,” Laura insists. “If I had said something mean CBS would have shown it…it’s tough with me being cast as Medusa.” She denied claims that Galu was as broken-down as the ex-Marine claimed, saying that Shambo was really the only person on the outs while everyone else was close. “We knew Shambo would flip [to Foa Foa], but we still had the numbers.”

Laura still had “the numbers” in mind when she made her most controversial decision of the game: booting out Erik. “I’m going to shoot at somebody when everyone’s coming at me,” she stated. Not only did Erik want her out, but also John, Shambo, and everyone on the Foa Foa tribe. Erik looked to be a safe target, but it ended up being something she “totally regrets” regarding her “Survivor” experience.

Exclusive Interview With ‘Survivor: Samoa’ Contestant Laura Morett – buddytv.com

November 20th, 2009

D1550443-C2CA-42C0-9707-97BEE39B67DA.jpg

When I interviewed Laura earlier today I asked her how she avoided the fates of past outspoken Christian contestants like Leslie Nease, Dirk Been and John Raymond; I also inquired about her torn Achilles tendon, her work as a lobbyist and whether anyone saw Natalie coming as a power player.

Q: Some of the most natural, comfortable strategists in Survivor history have been Christian – Tina Wesson, Teresa Cooper, Vecepia Towery. But many strong Christians have been eliminated disappointingly early, either because they faced rampant prejudice or found themselves in situations they were uncomfortable with.  You seemed comfortable out there.  What do you see dividing these two groups of Christians?
I guess I would have to ask you “What is someone’s definition of a Christian?” I am a Christian. That means I am a sinner. I make mistakes. I am so far from perfect. I never went in with an attitude of “I’m going to preach to the people.” I went in to win a million dollars, and be myself, and hopefully they will see that there is something different about me. I love Jesus. He has changed my life and my heart. If they ask me what is different about me, I will gladly share my story; but it is never or was never my intent to shove my belief’s in any ones face. Was that too preachy?

Q:  Along the same lines, you had a conversation with Russell a couple of episodes back about your respective religious backgrounds. Tell us about that. Was he sincere with you?
First off, we never bonded. Nat and I did. Russell is just plain creepy. He was aggressive and was trying to bully me. I will say, for the most part it was a friendly rivalry, but there was a time when he crossed a line and became threatening. I didn’t much care for that side of him.

‘Survivor: Samoa’s’ Laura Morett: ‘Well played by Russell’ – From Inside the Box – Zap2it

November 20th, 2009

5885313C-B6CF-47D4-B823-160440E70DC4.jpg

So tell us about last night’s episode. Were you surprised by the initial tie?
Yes and no. I was surprise because I really didn’t think that John would’ve even stayed loyal the first round so the fact that he even voted for Natalie the first time really surprised me. Then the minute that they read my name twice, I knew that Monica and Brett and Dave’s plan to use John as the decoy didn’t work and when they read Natalie’s name 5 times, I was surprised that John stayed true for the first vote.

So you knew John was the person who flipped, even before last night?
Yeah. I knew John was coming after me, even back when Russell Swan was in the game. What people don’t know is that Brett and I have a really tight alliance. I knew his family from my church, so Brett and I are tight. So the Galu foursome we’re talking about [Ed's note: The four men], Brett would tell me what was going on, so I knew that John was really threatened by me and Monica’s alliance, he wanted me out. It was win-win in John’s eyes because he’s finally getting me out but he’s not spearheading the “Let’s get Laura out” movement.

So did you know Brett before “Survivor?”
[Ed's note: Laura was not allowed to answer this question]

Survivor: Samoa – Exclusive Interview with Laura Morett : RealityWanted.com

November 20th, 2009

11C4AB98-AE04-434F-B52D-F842B46F76AA.jpg

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Did you know right away at the merge that Shambo had flipped and was it stupid of Mick and Jaison to basically tell Monica that she was working with Foa Foa?
A. Laura: Yeah, we knew.  We didn’t even consider her.  The guys would always say, “Don’t tell Shambo.  She doesn’t need to know.”  We never counted her vote.  It was stupid of Mick and Jaison but it also gave us the opportunity to let Foa Foa think that we would vote out John. 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Is Russell the luckiest Survivor on the planet?  How frustrating is it to watch him?
A. Laura: I agree and it is frustrating to watch for so many reasons.  It would’ve been huge to get rid of Russell and we were unlucky in that he kept finding the idols.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: You said, in your exit interview last night, that you wanted to see someone from purple win the million.  Does that include Shambo?
A. Laura: Shambo is not purple, she’s yellow.  I want anybody from purple to win the million.

Survivor’s Laura: I Was Never the Mean Girl – seattlepi.com

November 20th, 2009

F9E86BBC-F881-40E4-95BF-8BEFF438F22D.jpg

TVGuide.com: Why do you think Shambo and you had such tension for so long? What was the source of that animosity?
Laura: It’s frustrating to watch it because I was portrayed as the mean girl. But I would just like to say, did you ever, ever see me do one thing mean to her? I never did … She came after me.

TVGuide.com: Do you think you ever would have been able to change her mind or change her vote?
Laura: I don’t think so … She loved Brett and she didn’t know that Brett and I are really tight. When he went to her [to try to change her mind], he’s heartbroken because she based her [decisions] on feeling and emotion. When somebody is in that emotion, it’s hard for them to stand back and think this through. If we do this what will happen? Brett tried.

TVGuide.com: Can you talk about earlier in the show when you and Dave were chasing Russell and Jaison in the jungle to prevent them from finding another immunity idol?
Laura: It was so funny, when you have Russell, this 3-foot-tall little man jumping and bobbing and weaving through the jungle. Then, you have Dave, this tall lanky guy. It was a fun thing because they were kind of laughing and joking with each other. Russell would be like, “Come on, Dave! Keep up!” I was tailing Jaison and I obviously got the better end of the deal because Jaison does not like to move fast. You see me just walking behind him and sitting on a rock and then you see Dave and Russell just ripping through the jungle. It was hilarious.

Laura’s Exit Interview – Survivor Samoa (S19E10)

November 20th, 2009

421AE5A1-2C96-4C18-9B7B-41D3C3A8943E.jpg

We just got off the phone with Laura and heard some surprising information.

Russell spent over an hour to find that third immunity idol.
They all chased around the jungle for an hour. Then, all of a sudden, Russell came back into camp and laid down in the hammock with a big smile on his face. Everyone knew at that point. She didn’t know when he did it because she hung out at that bridge all day.

Laura never did anything mean to Shambo.
If she did, CBS would be showing it over and over. Her plea was “Show it CBS!” if you’ve got any video of her being mean. She said that she was surprised at Shambo’s intense animosity towards her.

Shambo seemed to be hurt that when they asked for “the strongest woman” in the tribe for challenges, everyone would pick Laura, the grandmother, and not the ex-Marine. She was offended by something, but not by anything that Laura actually did.

At one point, Shambo accused Laura of something and Dave said “I did that, not Laura.” Another time, Shambo accused Laura of saying something and Monica said “No, Shambo. I said that. Not her.” Shambo felt ganged up on, even though she put herself on the outside.

Brett was her closest alliance.
He told her everything that the guys were talking about. She knew that they were talking about voting off her or Monica. She knew that John was probably not an ally and could flip.

Brett would have given her the immunity necklace.
Brett also told her that if he won immunity in that last challenge, he would have given her the immunity necklace at TC and she absolutely believed him.

“You can’t hide creepy.”
What about Russell? She said “I knew he was creepy. You can’t hide creepy.”

Jeff Probst blogs ‘Survivor: Samoa’: episode #10 | EW.com

November 20th, 2009

A737647A-5DFD-480B-BC29-1210336D7128.jpg

Two big reasons:  The first is this… Survivor is an individual game: I keep saying it because it’s important.  You can never take your eyes off the prize and the prize is ONE check for a million dollars.  Not four checks, each for $250,000.  Not 8 checks each for $125,000.  ONE check for ONE million dollars.  As long as Survivor remains an individual game it will continue to have unexpected flips and flops because everybody has their own agenda and that will always cause chaos.

The second reason for the Foa Foa comeback is “Game Play.”

Here’s my take on how Game Play factored into the comeback:
33% Russell’s individual game play, 33% Foa Foa sticking together and 33% Galu just flat out blowing one of the most dominant leads in Survivor history.  It’s like they lost their brains somewhere in the South Pacific.  And as of last night’s episode, they still haven’t found it.

YOU’RE AN IDIOT
I laughed out loud when John assessed Galu’s various voting strategies, each followed with:   “You’re an idiot.”

Another castaway goes home on ‘Survivor’ – Survivor- msnbc.com

November 20th, 2009

F8ACB3F4-ABDF-480C-8427-70E938D9E05C.jpg

By Andy Dehnart

The tribe has spoken: Laura Morett was taken out by Russell, Foa Foa, and two members of her former tribe, Galu: Shambo and John. John initially voted for Natalie, sticking with Galu and Laura, but he broke a dramatic tie vote in order to save himself. She’d long been a target of Shambo’s for some unclear reason, but Russell also wanted her gone because she is the presumed leader of Galu, never mind the fact that she won two consecutive individual immunity challenges.

Silent truths: As a member of the jury, Erik isn’t supposed to talk. But twice he said exactly what viewers were thinking during the tense Tribal Council vote and re-vote. “Man, this is good s–t,” he said. “So good.”

Vote, vote, rock: We learned that, this season, if there’s a tie vote, there will not be a tie-breaking fire-building challenge. Instead, everyone votes again, except the two people who received votes. If there’s yet another tie, then the two people who received votes are safe, and everyone else draws rocks, sending one of them home randomly. While Dave said he’d be willing to gamble, John was not, and sent Laura home.

Review: Survivor Samoa – The Day of Reckoning – TV Squad

November 20th, 2009

84D05F63-5534-4D81-91FE-F8AF3BE16935.jpg

Now, isn’t this a good time to be a Survivor fan? Part of the problem with long-running reality shows is that they’ve run out of ideas and it’s hard to keep things fresh and new. They end up depending on whatever outlandish and over-the-top characters they can line up for the season. Some are a dismal failure. Case in point, “Coach” Ben Wade last year. Sure, he was a nutty kind of guy. But he couldn’t play the game well despite all of his bravado. This season is casting done right. And tonight’s episode was just as good as last week’s show.

I feel like a broken record about Evil Russell. I don’t condone misogyny. It repulsed me that he lied about being a Katrina victim. He’s a slimy snake oil salesman. He’s sneaky. He’s evil. And he’s playing the best damn game of Survivor ever played by anyone in 19 installments. So many others have claimed to have studied the show. Dang it, this dude has the entire game covered from plotting vote numbers to being able to find hidden immunity idols. And, at least for now, he’s loyal to his Foa Foa friends. I can only think that Russell is what they expected of Ben last season.

‘Survivor: Samoa’ has gone from zero to hero – It Happened Last Night – Zap2it

November 20th, 2009

9EB2251A-8493-4241-AEE6-E4097E51641A.jpg

Aiga
Following tribal, Danger Dave has the good sense to know that they got played and he very graciously congratulates the Foa Foas about the move they just made. Laura, on the other hand, is acting like Russell just killed her kitten with a tack hammer. It’s not personal, you crazy woman.

The next morning, Russell goes Idol hunting again. Shambo talking-heads that she’s with Foa Foa and she goes after John about aligning with them to get Laura out. John says he can’t guarantee he’ll vote for Laura and then she asks him to keep his mouth shut about her even broaching the subject. Hmmm.

Reward Challenge
Two teams of five. One person is in a cradle being swung around by the other four members. Cradle person collects flags and whichever person gets all 15 first wins a flight to a picnic and a camera phone… because DVDs of this experience aren’t enough, I guess? They don’t even get to talk to their families? Weak.

Survivor: Samoa – Episode 10 Recap : RealityWanted.com

November 19th, 2009

The teams are: Jaison, Mick, Shambo, Monica, and John versus Dave, Brett, Laura, Russell, and Natalie.  Knowing that a clue regarding the idol is probably at the reward, Russell is really hoping his team pulls off a win.  The only problem is that Laura will get that clue as well.  Maybe the curse of Foa Foa is attributed to Jaison and Mick because their team is having some serious problems while Russell and Natalie’s team speeds through this challenge.    Their team finishes first while the others have to head back to camp empty handed.  I think if I were Russell (given his ridiculous luck), I’d rather go back to camp and look for the idol, then be away from it for hours.
 
Jaison and Mick have big mouths.  They tell Monica, back at camp, that they have a Galu player working with them and, of course, she immediately feels that it’s Shambo.  Idiots.
 
The idol has been hidden under a rock.  Oh, that’s helpful.  There’s only a million rocks around the camp.  Hopefully, a Foa Foa member can find it and, as soon as everyone’s back from reward, the hunt is on.  Dave and Laura are literally chasing Russell around camp.  Do they realize how stupid they look?

Reality Check: ‘Survivor: Samoa’: Now what? – Sarah Kelber – baltimoresun.com

November 19th, 2009

Back at camp again, Monica tells Laura that she thinks the Foa Foas have “at least two people” already on their side. (Is she counting herself as the second one?) She says she doesn’t trust Shambo or John, and Laura’s pretty sure she needs to win again or she’s done for.

In the immunity challenge, they have to throw a rock at some tiles and break as many as possible. For every tile that breaks, they get one spear. The spears they will throw at a target, and whoever gets a spear the closest to the target gets immunity.

When Laura fails to break a tile, Shambo cracks up so rudely. That’s just bad gameplay, but what else is new?

Only Jaison, Mick, Monica and Brett get to shoot the spear, Brett twice. Brett lands on the target, while Jaison and Monica miss completely. Mick lands closer to the center than Brett, and Brett’s second shot is too far away, so Mick wins immunity.
