Definitely the most physically demanding event on Survivor ever, in my opinion. I mean, just think how far ELEVEN miles really is, not to mention without water and having to carry equipment. It's insane. I don't have a car, so if there's no public transportation available, I walk. I once had to walk from my kids' school (from conferences, they live with their mother) all the way back to my apartment=11.4 miles, with my backpack. I did it in 3hrs 9 min. Not bad for a 40+ year old. No way that "trek" should have taken all friggin night--even with being in the jungle....Maybe 6 hours, tops, considering the youth and physicality of the majority of the people involved. I call fake-drama-whoring.

I call fake-drama-whoring. Agreed. I backpack often, and the longest it ever took me to scale 12 miles was five hours. That was with plenty of breaks at a leisurely pace.

Currently rooting for Shannon and Marisa, but open to rooting for Russell H if he lives up to all this freaking hype. As for S20... sorry, you know can't say anything. Definitely curious how it'll all play out, though. No news on a Guat DVD, and, unfortunately, I wouldn't hold my breath. If by some miracle the DVD does get made and by an even bigger miracle I got to do any commentary, I would kill to be able to sit there and reminisce with Amy. I would have the best time with her. And Brooke had a girl. She and her new daughter are doing great!

Remember that Day 1 of Vanuatu consisted of them attending a tribal ritual. Night 1 was them hiking to camp. Maybe they started real late in the afternoon in Guatemala, so that it was already very hot. And maybe they didn't keep hiking at nighttime. Could happen.

Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Also, re: the trek: Don't forget that we had to take frequent breaks for interviews AND it wasn't just hiking, it was rowing, rafting, and climbing AND we were forced to stop at nightfall (which, in the jungle was about 6:30pm or so, after having started around 3pm) because it was literally pitch black in the dense Guatemalan forest. Plus, there were 9 people there, not just one traveling at his own leisurely pace. And, of course, it was in the jungle. For what that's worth.

Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Oh that's right, good memory... they showed it during Jim or Brandon's intro, I think, right? Yeah, it was like a Huck Finn style raft with a long pole for pushing ourselves along. It was on this horribly creepy river with muck and overgrowth and crocodile beds everywhere. I was preparing myself for a death by tip-over.

I still love the show, of course, and never miss an episode, but I'm not as obsessed as I was pre-Guatemala. I really enjoyed Fans vs. Favorites, of course, and Gabon and Tocantins were enjoyable, but I really miss the strong character development of the older seasons. It's become so much about strategy and so little about who these people are, you know? But as long as this show is on, I'll be a die-hard viewer, for sure. All right, off to bed. Unfortunately, I do have to work tomorrow. Putting the Labor in Labor Day.
