Survivor – Charlie and Marcus Update


Okay, so me and my sister Amanda are obsessed slightly curious about the possibility of gay Charlie and straight Marcus making out on Survivor. In last nights episode, while they awaited the results of their challenge scores, Marcus had his arm around Charlie, and I could have sworn that he nervously bit Charlie’s shoulder. Turns out I wasn’t the only one because an instant later I got a text message:

Amanda: Did marcus just kiss charlie on the shoulder when they started weighing the fruit?

Craig: Yes! I think he play bit it!

Amanda: OMG!!!! G A Y!!!!

Craig: Totally! They are SO gonna make out

Amanda: Merge wine!

Craig: LOL!

So I had confirmation that I wasn’t alone in seeing the bite/kiss. Did any of you guys see it? Anyway, if you’re unfamiliar with Survivor, when the two tribes lose about half their members, the tribes merge together, and they’re usually given a feast of wine and food to celebrate. They almost always get hammered off the wine since they haven’t had alcohol in weeks and don’t eat that much out there, and you can guarantee that at least one person vomits. Amanda’s theory is that this is when they’re gonna make out. And I have to say, I think it’s a pretty solid theory. Merge wine can make people do funny things.

UPDATE: Okay, so AfterElton has a pic of the biting. They say Marcus was eating a piece of leftover fruit off of Charlie’s shoulder. So perhaps he was just hungry. Either way, it’s totally cute! CHECK IT OUT!

    Well, wouldn’t that be a reason to start watching Survivor. Maybe not. But if it gets on YouTube I’ll watch.

  2. Survivor should be on iTunes. I keep wanting to catch it, but I’m often not home on Thursday nights and I keep forgetting to DVR the damn thing. :-(

  3. Steve

    My friends and I noticed too, wasn’t the only flirty thing I saw either.

  4. john

    I haven’t seen it (may watch later from home) but I can tell you I have never eaten a piece of fruit off another man’s shoulder…

  5. Bernd

    They probably already made out a long time ago
    - but CBS deemed it to risque and will not show it or
    - they invited the camera guy to join in, so there is no evidence

  6. Tam

    Well, in keeping with my sceptic personality, I think the producers are offering straight Marcus incentives to lead gay Charlie on in order to make the show more “interesting”. But when it comes time to actually do anything more than nibble on his shoulder, Marcus will shun Charlie, leading to a total emotional meltdown and great “reality” TV. Or Bernd’s theory about the camera guy has merit. LOL

  7. Tam

    Hmmm. Definitely something there. I just showed my admin assist the pics of Charlie and Marcus. She agrees they’d make a great power couple, lawyer and doctor, but she’s with me on the consipiracy theory to cause a meltdown. We all know that HEAs never happen in reality TV.

    I saw this as well last nite and made my best friend REWIND cuz she didnt notice it. I was fairly sure this happened BEFORE the challenge when Jeff told them they could keep the fruit (no, not charlie) from the challenge. In hunger, Marcus play bit Charlie. That was my take of it, at least. But my heart went out for Charlie cuz I too know how you take any little sign from a str8 crush that there might be something more there?

    They’re so cute! I hope that people are wrong about meddling producers. After Kenley getting producer immunity, producers doing something to hurt Charlie could make me swear off reality TV.

  10. Ryan R.

    Also, for those who haven’t been watching, the episodes are online at CBS.

  11. Bernd

    Is there a ‘best of Charlie & Marcus’ clip up on youtube? I’d hate to waste my time on all the competition stuff and the skimpily dressed women :-)

  12. I used to be a Survivor addict, but I gave up on TV for the most part a while back. I do check the website now and again to see what’s going on. I had heard about the bromance and saw on another blog this morning about the fruit snacking. I would totally love to see those two get it on. Bow-chicka-bow-bow.

  13. Well I never watched the show so I don’t know how straight Marcus really is, but it seems to me if he allows Charlie to be that close to him then he might not be straight at all…
    So many times in life have I seen ‘straight’ guys let the gays get too close, then a year later tell the world they’re gay.
    But the wine theory makes sense!

    ALTHOUGH I’D RATHER THEY DRINK JUICE THAN WINE!!

  14. Wait a second Nicky….you don’t like alcohol? Why is this the first I’m hearing of it???

    Now that I think of it, what are you feelings on Starbuck?

    :-P

  15. Bernd

    Craig, are you talking of Starbuck, obnoxious BSG character or Starbucks, Dr. Evil’s front company to achieve world domination?

  16. I’m talking about Kara “Starbuck” Thrace who Nicky hates with all his heart.

    Apparently you’re not too fond of her either.

  17. Yay Bernd!! Down with Starbuck!
    Down with cocky manizing whores who sleep around and ruin people’s marriages!

  18. Bernd

    eeehhhhh. let me clarify. I think Starbuck is dead and what we see on BSG in the last season is something else, either a Cylon clone or some evil reincarnation. Whatever it is it’s become way to obsessive, intense and humorless. I miss the friendly banter she had going on with other characters.

    I love kick-ass female characters, especially if they kick male ass, and hope they enjoy a healthy sex-life like their male counterparts. Sexually available women are not whores or sluts and more power to them.

    OUCH

    I just fell of my soap-box

  19. Starbuck can do no wrong in my eyes.

  20. HCL

    “‘best of Charlie & Marcus’ clip up on youtube”

    Someone needs to make this. *nods*

  21. GoKitty

    HCL:
    I dont think there is enough to make a “best of” video. All they’ve really shown is them conspiring, Charlie saying he likes Marcus, Marcus saying he thinks Charlie has a crush on him, Marcus biting Charlie, Marcus playfully hugging Charlie back at camp.

  22. Tam

    It starts with a bite and a playful hug and next thing you know they are f-ing like bunnies in the jungle. Well, one can imagine anyway.

  23. GoKitty: That BSG PC case is incredible! I love how the top lights up, and the cd drives is behind the circular logo! Genius!

  24. BOOO!!!! Bernd you disappoint me.
    Sure people should enjoy a ‘healthy’ sex life (regardless of gender) but healthy is NOT sleeping with like a million guys in a couple seasons and sleeping with a MARRIED MAN!
    If she were married and having regular sex with her husband, that’d be healthy!
    Oh wait, she IS married and cheats on him! Sounds like a great girl to me.

  25. Bernd

    I feel so young all of a sudden, getting into a fight with someone over a soap-opera. I hear in the last few episodes she will get pregnant, but doesn’t know who the father is as she’s slept with 2 many men and so claims it was an immaculate conception and that her child will be named Mathias, but then his battery runs out before the baptizement. And in the last episode it will be reveiled that Starbuck is god who had to sacrifice another son, so that humans and cylons are forgiven all their sins and can wage war on each other forever.
    The end
    Not a single relationsship on BSG, be it married or just sinful cohabitation looked real to me. Everyone always seemed to be just settling for whoever was handy and willing.

    “Wait a second Nicky….you don’t like alcohol? Why is this the first I’m hearing of it???”

    Craig: Have I told you lately that I love you?

  27. Well, I am young : )
    I think some relationships were not like that. Like when Dee and Billy were together back in the day, that seemed good. Until she left him for Adama.
    And of course Roslin and Adama Sr. are truly in love I guess.

    You know, I just realized that the show has been off for so long that I’m kind of forgetting a lot…

  28. Bernd: I love your ending.

    John: Meet me in California.

    Nicky: Please don’t mention Billy around me. I still get very upset. Especially now because the new Knight Rider sucks so I can’t even enjoy him there.

  29. john

    Craig: *blush* Could you be more specific?

  30. Michelle M.

    They gave it a sound effect! Fruit shmoot – looked like a cute little love nip to me.

  31. digkv

    Isn’t there some thing about how Marcus accidentally exposed himself and CBS forgot to censor it out? I remember seeing it somewhere. And it’s the real Starbuck! She’s no Cylon! and she’s the greatest character ever. (I watched every episode of BSG over the summer so I could start participating in these awesome BSG conversations on here).

  32. John: Hollywood! Daddy wants to be a star!

    Michelle M: I agree. I watched it a bunch of times, and I still don’t see any fruit.

    digkv: Yeah, here is Marcus’ penis flash:

    http://www.omgblog.com/2008/09/omg_survivor_penis_flash_marcu.php

    Yay for watching BSG! Don’t you love it? And I agree, Starbuck is pure awesome.

  33. Bernd

    Craig, I’m going to LA tomorrow…..

    Cute little nip from Marcus, would have been so much hotter if it had been on skin. But when he heard that they could keep their fruit, he wanted to take a bite out of his ‘fruit’

    Wow, since I’m only watching BSG when it’s on TV, I’m forgetting lot’s of stuff. The cylons are so much more interesting than all the humans, they actually show development and learning, while the humans are stuck on their hatred of the toasters. Did you guys/girls already discuss the ending before the break?

  34. Steven

    Biting a leftover “fruit.” Hmm something sounds like something at least beneath the surface is going on. Hmm Perhaps it is a strategy, hit on the gay so that way you stay!

    Steven

  35. digkv

    OMG i love BSG so, so much. I thought that I could never find a show that would fill the science fiction/fantasy void that Buffy/angel/firefly left but BSG is just absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much Craig for introducing it to me. Shows like Torchwood and Lost just pale in comparison to BSG’s sheer brilliance.

  36. I agree. Lost is a meandering mess compared to BSG.

    What’s Torchwood?

  37. Bernd

    Yeah Nicky, I’m old, jaded and cynical. To me Starbuck and Lee belong together and any relationship they enter with others is just not right and doomed. If they had a gay relationship in the series that I could be invested in, I would care a lot more about the straight ones. But I’m also a gay man not interested in monogamy, so all this agonizing over ‘cheating’ is not my thing.

  38. digkv

    Torchwood is an ok UK show that’s a spin-off of Dr. Who about a bisexual time traveler who heads Torchwood, an agency that makes sure the aliens and stuff that come out of some time rift or something don’t wreck havok. It’s fun stuff though one does wish that the episodes weren’t as stand-alone.

  39. Bernd

    digkv, to me BSG is the absolute best what’s on TV. It is so deep and touches on so many things. I will miss it once it’s gone.

  40. Sorry digkv, I actually know what Torchwood is. A bunch of readers here tell me to watch it every chance they get, so I like to pretend I don’t know what it is just to aggravate them. :-P

    I’ve been meaning to watch it for a while now.

  41. digkv

    haha I thought you did, I think we talked about it once. The show is in limbo right now with word of a mini-series rather than a complete third season. It’s been so long I’ve forgotten so much about it. I was wondering, are you still keeping up with the Sarah Connor Chronicles? word is that it’s been axed, shame since it’s John Connor has finally lost his emo-ness

  42. Yeah, I’ve been watching it. I think it’s been great this season. Even better than last season. It’s a shame not enough people are watching it. And John looks so much better with the hair cut. And he’s actually DOING stuff this season! Brian Austin Green is the best though.

  43. john

    Craig: Torchwood is on the way!

  44. Michelle M.

    Ahh, I was under the impression that Torchwood was some kind of western (blech). Now I’ll have to give it a shot.

    digkv: The hub and I have been watching the Chronicles. I agree with you about the “emo-ness” (just read that he is going to live forever in the new Fame movie). We might jump ship on Chronicles, though. Last straw might have been Shirley Manson emerging from the urinal. The Urinator!

  45. digkv

    It really has been a terrific season and Summer Glau has really been given room to show that she’s a terrific actress. That Allison from something episode was extremely strange and felt out of place (I wouldn’t call it bad by any means, though it had this weird thing that made me think about cylons) but Summer Glau gave just a terrific performance in that episode. Also gotta say that if you don’t watch Dexter, you really need to, it’s an amazing show.

  46. digkv

    Ha michelle, I think Shirley Manson is just awful in here. Did they really need the lead singer of Garbage to play this role? I gotta say though, there was something alluring about a robot from the future that is into watersports.

  47. LOL! @ The Urinator!

    Thanks John! I’m excited!

  48. Michelle M.

    Just looked up Torchwood – James Marsters appears! Whoopee! It’s #1 on queue now.
