Don't know if this has ever been discussed but is Survivor for real? I doubt very much they are really living out in the wild or have been there for the number of days they state each episode. None have a dirty face. The women don't have hairy underarms or legs and the clean shaven men are still clean shaven.

I'm hearing they are giving certain items that they weren't in the past, like toothpaste and other items.

mary.....this was not a regular idol....it was a "special power" idol. The clue about it came up a couple of weeks ago. I just don't remember if they ALL knew about the clue or Tony?

He can use this idol AFTER the votes are read.....instead of before.

I remember Spencer got a clue (fell out of his napkin a few weeks back), Kass was supposed to watch him and while she wasn't looking, he scooped it out of the muddy bank. Yes, Tony's cannot be used to shield anyone else, only him, after the votes were read.

Also, I find it hard to believe they're not getting daily sustenance.

I don't think so. From what I've read, they only get sunscreen, insect repellent, and...contraceptives are available - just in case. And women have access to tampons.

What we don't see are the approximately 80 crew members & the cameramen in a helicopter above who are busy filming each challenge - which go on for a loooong time. And cast mates are never left alone, both as a safety issue & further filming opportunities.

I also can't stand Tony, but he is playing the game. I'll bet LJ will kick himself when he watches the footage of the episode where he got the boot. If he'd only listened!

They have access to water so why would they have dirty faces? Also a lot do have hairy underarms and legs when they show them close and waxing can last over a month for some anyway. The only men who don't have much hair growth on their faces are the ones who don't anyway. I have never seen a clean shaven man on the show.

Jeff P says that if you look closely, some of the women become a bit hairy, but that before coming on the show, a lot of them get laser hair removal, which holds much of it at bay.

Woo and the other guy (with the short chopped hair that hasn't grown much, hmmmm) don't even have a 5:00 shadow. Also, they must've been given soap....we don't see that they have dirty feet or legs from when it rains and they're standing in mud puddles.

I think Tony was given a "suggestion" by the show to look for the idol and where it would be a good idea to look. They don't want him eliminated, at least not yet. His search was some bad acting.

I agree with you 100%.
