It's episode 13 as I write this, and treemail is a melty clock, which makes me think this upcoming challenge is going to be Timely Distortions, also featured in All Stars. I'd rather have immunity so I don't have to blow an idol in event of emergency (or if people want to turn on me AND my allies, then I can protect 2 people), so I'm practicing. If I'm right, this challenge will involve a healthy dose of Survivor knowledge, a fat assload of google image searching (I looked it up and it turns out there's a legal form of lowercasing called a genericized trademark, but since some crafty companies like Kleenex have managed to avoid the legal version, my term is still a distinct thing), and a really itchy trigger finger. You have to post right on the hour, so what I will be doing in this thread is gauging how precise on the hour I can get.

This whole "one minute ago" bullshit is not conducive to my goals, dammit.

If I can't spam post, at least this can be my blob identifier!



Peter Harkey:



Recognizable bits: Who the fuck else in the middle of the jungle is gonna be touching their tongue like that. Shit's nasty.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Russell Swan:



Recognizable bits: Dreads, physique, general appearance of leadership qualities despite clearly not trying to be the leader.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Hayden Moss:



Recognizable bits: Black sleeveless shirt, peculiar style of buff, distinctive color of buff

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Nicole Delma:



Recognizable bits: No other season took cast photos against a garishly deep blue background like that, and then it was just sorting through PI cast photos.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Susan Hawk:



Recognizable bits: All of it. Like, that's Susan Hawk. GEEZ GUYS IT'S NOT THAT HARD.

Chad Crittenden:



Recognizable bits: Blue shirt + orange buff = unusual combination.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Kim Johnson:



Recognizable bits: Honestly, I didn't get it until I noticed the slight mullet action going on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Angie Layton:



Recognizable bits: Just invert the colors!

I think I'm running out of easy ones here!

Thoughts:

10pm Peter Harkey
11pm The colors are throwing me off here. Is that a yellow buff on his head or a green one on his wrist? Is that even a guy?
12am Definitely female, apart from that no idea.
1am Probably female, probably black.
2am Russell Swan
3am Along the left edge of the figure I can make out the outline of a guy slouched into a crouch, ready to look/act like an asshole, a la Penner or Tyson.
4am Is that Natalie White's signature updo on her head? She looks like she's at an auction or challenge with lots of sitting.
5am Chad Crittenden
6am Hayden Moss
7am Definitely a chick.
8am The blue buff narrows things considerably, but all my initial thoughts beyond that have gone nowhere.
9am Probably a cast photo, because few people look that pasty after a few days on the island.
10am Kim Johnson
11am Straight hair and female are all I can make out.
12pm I feel like I'm this close to figuring out who she is.
1pm He looks like... Patton Oswalt?
2pm Windows 3.0 clearly just vomited.
3pm I think that's a yellow buff on his arm? And a red beret? Jean-Robert?
4pm Dude's clearly a world-class dodgeball player.
5pm Nicole Delma
6pm Looks Tina-esque, but I don't want to say for sure until I find the picture.
7pm Before Roy Lichtenstein got his hands on this picture, this was clearly Donkey Kong. Get up, stand across the room from it, and squint. This person has unreasonably massive arms!
8pm Angie Layton
9pm Susan Hawk

Sandy Burgin:



Recognizable bits: It wasn't anyone from Palau so the buff wasn't brown, therefore it had to be red, and then the scraggly hair clicked.

Janu Tornell:



Recognizable bits: The hair narrowed it down, but the top color looked familiar to me and caused me to keep looking when I didn't immediately spot it on my first pass of Janu's GIS.

Putative scoreboard after 4 hours:

Leann: 8
Chet: 5
John: 3
Jamie: 1

Spam posting practice!

Okay, let's try that again.

Can it really be?

Fuckin' A right it can be.

Let's try right on the 59 second mark...

That was actually a little bit after. Trying for real now.

Tina Wesson:



Recognizable bits: Literally just GISed every female survivor until that floral bikini pattern came up.
