They could make leather clothes out of the boars.

Also, cloth is pretty durable. Things from the suitcases that they've set aside, that aren't needed now, could easily become new! clothes when they're desparate. And it's not like there won't be time for hand-sewing.

(Unless they burned all the suitcases from dead people. In which case, stoopid.)

Honestly, I don't *want* the show to be all about the realities of surviving on an island. That's what Survivor is, and I've never felt the urge to watch it.

I watched Survivor until it became apparent that wasn't what it was about.

So we're both disappointed?

This is what bugged my husband the most. He refused to watch ever again after Richard Hatch won.

Ah. Well, by that point they should be able to order some on the coconut phone.

Suh-nerk. That's another joke that never gets old.

Or maybe I just want to think about Jack, Sayid, and Sawyer naked.

Who doesn't? Ahh, naked Lostaways (tm someone on TWOP). Hell, even naked Boone with his pretty, pretty eyes. Oh and don't forget naked Jin with his one handcuff and bruises from being constantly beaten up by Michael and Sun.

I'm sick. I know it.

ETA:

Me too, but in my case it was because Hatch was so amusing, evil and relentlessly naked that everyone after that couldn't help but be a letdown.

The folks on Survivor 7 wore their one set of clothes continuously for up to 39 days, and aside from Osten (who stupidly traded all his clothes away for provisions at the beginning) and Ryan Opray (who did have tattered clothing issues, of a sort that still has me making grateful sacrifices to the TV gods years later) they were pretty much OK except where people intentionally cut/ripped them with the climate in mind. I think with their own luggage and spares from the dead passengers, folks should be good for at least a year or two to come. Certainly longer than the timeframe we're likely to see with 40 day seasons. dammit

Cut to a close up of Jack as he shouts.

Jack: "CHARLIE!"

Again I maintain that the producers should make note of what chemistry is working and what isn't, and have Jack pining for Charlie rather than Kate. That would result in a triangle that actually makes all its characters more interesting rather than less, and free up Sawyer & Kate to explore the smoking hot chemistry between their actors without the ridiculous tug of war.

Survivor was about surviving on an island right up until the producers realized that starving, dirty people aren't pretty enough for prime time. Hence the unlimited sunscreen.

Survivor's new thing seems to be throwing people on the island with only the clothes on their backs (and their athletic shoes). So many people were dressed up. If I was going on I'd go dressed like I was going to be dropped in my clothes.

Yeah, Crazy Lil from a couple years ago had the right idea with that Boy Scout hiking uniform. I bet it was good as new after a heavy cycle in the wash.

They seem to be getting back to basics with this one. (Yes, I'm still watching. Shut up.) No supplies this time, just directions to water and I think a machete - they've both managed to win fire, but they don't have the barrels of rice and shit like they used to get.
