Quickfire Recap (By Location!) by RNN

Hello SOTF-TV fandom! It's been a while since we've blogged and I thought we'd bring you up to speed in case you missed a few things! I'll go through each location and recap the latest happens per location, per episode. This will be a non death recap, as the lovely, Nery will be handling those in the Quickfire Contestant Spotlights. So let's get it started right?

DOCKS:

The ongoing episode is entitled "Peers" nice pun there. It starts with Cesar, Bobby and Brennan after leaving behind orange team mate Ferric Tam (what ever happened to that guy?) They form a new group together supposedly and want to go looking for a few of their friends. The Cruise Ship is a danger zone so as expected traffic happens at that pier. Michael Clark and Simon Porter show up, with Michael leaving right away. The announcements happen and Cesar is shocked to hear his little girl friend killed somebody! Then he masturbates for some reason, which I thought was funny, but Nery skipped past that part with our TiVo.

Anyway Odile, Cesar's girlfriend, shows up soon enough and starts pulling bull crap about being attacked. They are quick to believe, except Bobby whose Mentor -MarWIN himself- subtitled through the screen (neat how we the viewers can actually hear the audio clear on our TV's... then again it's MarWIN's voice) told him not to trust her. So he pulls a clever trick to harmlessly disarm Odile, by suggesting she give it to Cesar. It worked. Currently Brennan and Bobby are planning on abandoning the rest of the group. Good choice!

Star of the Scene: Odile Jones, the entertainer that she is. The mysterious entrance with the ominous music, then the cut to her acting scared and playing to the boys' emotions had me screaming "She's a manipulator you fools!"

TAR PITS:

Two Episodes were shown concurrently: "The King in Yellow" and "I Came to Play" well nothing much happened here. Just a bunch of teens making plans. I loved the effect that the editors used to show what happened BEFORE they got there. Then the realization as soon as the Announcements hit. Nery will talk about what happened in the contestant spotlights.

Star of the Scene: Bob Lazenby. Stay tuned for the contestant spotlight.

Welcome Back!

Apologies for the lost time guys!

Seems the hacktivists have come out in full force this season, at the worst time. As they've stated, several blogs have been taken down and only a few have retained their content. Feeds of SotF:TV were interrupted these past two weeks in several areas as well- no group has come forward owing up to the sabotage, but it's a reasonable assumption that these attacks were coordinated.

For those of you who've been following Chester's Hitlist, sadly, the content has been completely wiped. A real blow to Chester, who's been an active blogger since the early years, Season 4 to be exact. He's thrown in the towel and announced his retirement from SotF Blogging.

MarWIN's blog has several erased posts, but knowing him, he'll have backups and will be up within a few hours.

As for Survival of the Snarkiest, no content was erased. How our site information was leaked exactly, we don't know. We are currently investigating, and eager to get to the bottom of it.

Expect more content related to SotF: TV soon!

-- ATTENTION --

HELLO FASCISTS.

BY NOW YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THE LACK OF ACTIVITY ON THIS BLOG- AS WELL AS SEVERAL RELATED SITES IN THE SOTF:TV FANDOM. THESE INCLUDE:

• SURVIVAL OF THE SNARKIEST
• CHESTER'S SOTF HITLIST
• SOTF:AMERICA
• MARWIN'S BLOG - SITE - AND ASSOCIATED CONTENT

THOSE OF YOU WITH BASIC REASONING SKILLS WILL BE ABLE TO PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER.

YOU'VE BEEN HACKED. THE WAR BEGINS HERE.

TOO LONG WE'VE SUFFERED IN SILENCE AS THIS FILTH HAS OVERTAKEN THE AIRWAVES. TOO LONG HAVE WE WITNESSED THESE BRUTAL GAMES TAKE PLACE. YOU HAVE WATCHED AND LAUGHED AT SENSELESS MURDER, PERPETRATED BY A REGIME THAT HAS BEEN SUPPRESSING YOUR RIGHTS FOR YEARS.

THIS GENOCIDE ENDS NOW.

YOU WILL PAY DEARLY FOR YOUR IGNORANCE.

WE WILL NOT REST UNTIL WE HAVE RUINED SOTF: TV AND CREATED CHAOS IN THE STREETS. IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP AMERICA. THOSE OF YOU READING THIS, YOU WILL BE OUR FIRST VICTIMS. WE WILL NOT DEMONSTRATE LIKE SOME OF OUR COMRADES, THAT TIME IS LONG PAST.

WHEN WE COME FOR YOU, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BEG.

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS.

In todays' video c0rnch1p takes a look at the death of Rishi Kohli and Isaac King in depth, giving his thoughts on the subject.

Expect more coverage, both video and analysis' soon!

A Game of Cunning

Title is a bit of a misnomer here, there are countless advantages one can have in Survival of the Fittest, countless combinations. No one thing is going to propel you above the rest, a simple mistake can mean lights out. It's part of the joy in watching the game, knowing that no matter how much planning our contestants go through, one little slip could change the game landscape dramatically.

Still, doesn't hurt to have an edge, does it?

Our latest poll was about game advantages, what you'd like to have if you were pushed into the game. It had some interesting results, to say the least. Results were:

1) Cunning - 32%

2) Good Draw - 26%

3) Staying Power - 17%

4) Sex Appeal - 11%

5) Speed - 5%

6) Strength - 2%s

6) Popularity - 2%

VERY interesting to see Strength tying for last in this poll. You'd think strength to be one of the (heh, pun) strongest advantages one could have. Not so. Bruisers have gone down fast, be it from a terrible draw or another students trickery.

Who can forget SotF TV Season 3 when favorite to win Frank Bramble was the second to be eliminated? Frank was just the first victim of future winner Travis "Bug" Hood, who used a handful of stolen C4s and his given weapon, a blackjack, to net himself SEVEN kills and a trip home. Ironically, Bug was predicted as one of the first outs not just by the SotF fanbase, but by the players themselves. His ruthless turn to power player came completely unexpected, allowing him to get the jump on many of his fellow classmates. Just one example of brains triumphing over brawn.

With that being said, it's a little easier to see just why exactly 32% went with Cunning as their choice advantage. Until next time, thanks everyone for taking part in this week's poll!

Comrade_Snowball's Game Recap #2 Stray Observations

Random Notes from the Island…

- - Sean Davidson is my predicted next out, given his actions on the Resort Beach. Zach is going to finish him, mark my words. A real pity to see him go down so soon.

- - Marvia Jones and Harold Smythe… It’s obvious that Marvia has more intellect then Harold at this point in time. Still, what could be keeping her around? What has stopped her from killing him? Keep an eye on this pair; I expect their alliance to fall apart- spectacularly.

- - Odile Jones, Odile Jones... Quite the little showgirl we’ve got on our hands! I personally hope for more scenes with her soon, especially if Tiffany is around. Her behaviour is quite erratic but quite entertaining.

- - I may have said Sean is my predicted next out, but another student looks set for the chopping block as well! Glen Bole may be out of a team-mate, and he might not be the smartest student out there, but it looks like he’s got Suzanne Lanford cornered, if he could just get around to finishing her off.

- - Might as well make it three, Bobby Goldman, as of this writing, has gotten into a tight spot with Karen Ruiz, the first killer this Season. He’s still going, but this fight can go either way. Best to check out the clips, it’s a real entertaining battle thus far! I’m hoping Bobby pulls through, at least for a bit longer. But his chances of getting off the Island alive have dwindled oh so low.

- - Holly Herchenroder may win points for her bandanna duplication, but how long can she expect Jack Lemmon to stay undercover? A better plan needs to crop up, or Jack is dead in the water. Will they take the 10 kills option? Definitely stay tuned on this one- the build up has been intense so far, and I'm expecting a big payoff when their plan falls apart.
