"Survivor: Gabon" bromance update: Marcus likes his fruit

I`m loving it!!!

How adorable!

I can't take it any more!  Everytime there's a Marlie post someone always name-drops Ronnie and Ben.  But I didn't watch "Make Me a Supermodel" and I have no idea who they are!!  For all us n00bz, can someone link to a crash course in the Bonnie bromance?

I'm supposed to be looking out for these things and letting all of you know about it but I totes didn't see that moment at all last night. Was I asleep? Good catch from everyone that sent in emails... apparently I'm not to be trusted in bringing you all the Survivor bromance action.

While Survivor editors are second to none in their editing, what I loved about the sequence was that it's very probable that the lick really did happen as Jeff was weighing the fruit. Since there was only a 2 pound "fruit differential" between the 2 teams (in other words not the usual blow outs), I think that Marcus was trying to make sure that he he at least got some if the team had lost.

That Marcus is such a "guy" (in the best of ways) as he was as touchy-feely with the another lawyer (the hot blue-eyed one who came to find himself and seems straight as it gets too) when he played a role in winning a challenge. Or maybe Marcus just is into lawyers, no sexual orientation questions asked....

I wish that more industry people would not assume that "America" is going to react negatively towards gay people every time they look to program their shows. Even those who are many degrees away from the level of self-comfort shown by Marcus, will not necessarily find "gay" to be the all-encompassing turn-off that so many executives assume is the norm when they reject pilots involving central gay characters or marginalize those that they let into the club. I know that there is a difference between scripted and so-called reality TV, but the end result is the same. Bring on the gays, blacks/Asians/Latinos/Arab-Americans, foreigners.....

Side-bar question: I know that there was finally an actual animal shown yesterday (instead of the creative editing treats) and when the guys went towards the elephant in the canoe it looked like they were really close. On the other hand, did anyone else noticed that the group shots of the tribe all looked like they were superimposed in some type of blue screen? Just a technical question as I know that they take liberties all the time and I am not against them if it enhances my viewing experience.

Go Charlie!

As I posted somewhere else on this site, that nibble moment surely was what the creators of TiVo envisioned when they added the slo-mo feature.

No pun intended , there's not much of a fruit on Charlie shoulder. If it's Ace I bet Marcus would not have done that. Obviously they are very comfortable with each other. I hope there's no betrayal between the two down the road. There were promises of romances before the start of the season . I know Sugar and Ace are really tight and perhaps other tribe members as well. Let's hope Marcus is not one of them. Just let me enjoy the hobromance til the end of the season.

You can watch this moment at this link:

It's about 5:05 into the video.

Check out the link and listen to the music right when Marcus gives Charlie that nibble. Give the music editor ten cookies! Seriously.

I've never watched Survivor but I would imagine folks get very close because they are going through such a hard thing together.

It makes sense that people in the same tribe would become very physically intimate with each other.

I don't know if that makes it necessarily romantic.

Not for nuthing but, there wasn't even a little bit of fruit on Charlie's shoulder. Im just sayin...

 

I caught it on my first viewing. It wasn't that sudden or blink-and-miss. And I squeed.

but that is just too hot. straight guys like this drive me crazy, because then your like "what the hell, quit teaseing me!" I havent really been keeping up with this survivor, is it any good? damn it, this makes me want to watch it now. I think Im gonna make a little trip to youtube to see this hot incident. why is flirting with a straight guy so much more fun?
