I too thought this episode was interesting, although the twist was not as wonderful as the commercials made it out to be, but then, they never are! Like Sebastiancat, I was very happy with who the women voted out, but not so happy with the men. I think they're playing the game stupidly at this point, but it may turn around. As for the woman who was voted out, I have words for her, but they're not appropriate to post here! This woman gives the word "bitter" a whole new meaning. I loved what another contestant said about her: "Good luck finding a husband with that attitude." That cracked me up!  Anyone else think the person who won the individual immunity acted very intelligently? I had totally written this person off in the beginning as an idiot for some reason, but I have definitely been proven wrong. Quote:
I wondered at the choice of voting off two. Is it due to time constraints with this being election year in the US?
I think the reason for this is because typically the show has been 16 contestants in 39 days. This time it's 18 contestants in 39 days, so I think they're just trying to get people out in the same time frame, which means deviating from one contestant voted out every 3 days. Last season was like this two, and if I remember correctly, there were some instances where tribal councils were held two days in a row instead of every three days like usual.

My $0.02 on last night's show:
Eliza, you getting upset is the same is the pot calling the kettle black. You did the same thing as Lisa and now she's the bad person and you are not?
And why!?? Why did they vote out one of my favorite persons? Why!? Oh the humanity, the horror.

Now that was a dumb thing to do  ! The person voted off made the biggest error yet, in Survivor history.
The preview for next week shows someone really pushing it to be kept in their tribe. Since most of the members of the tribe are married, it should be interesting as to whether this person made another big mistake  .
Just double checked, two are married, one is engaged and one is single...next week should be very interesting.

This latest mistake WAS huge. What was that person thinking? Oh, wait, they weren't thinking. They were on thin ice to begin with---let's just take a hammer to it!!! Talk about living up to your nickname. And one of that tribe's members must have felt like the loneliest and most vulnerable human on the planet after that happened. I didn't see the previews. Yet more nudity? Great. Now I'll have to instinctively imagine how stinky naked Island people are again. Ugh  .

I'm a regular viewer of the show but after a while the castaways who were voted off start to wash together. Here it says that there may be spoilers within but everyone is so careful not to mention specific names or events. -- I need a chart and a list and a calendar to try to figure out who is being referred to here! I want to contribute to this forum but am afraid to step on toes by being specific......
In the meantime, who's everyone's favorite castaway? I think mine is Ami as she's been loyal to her word and a hard worker. She's also a very shrewd player....what does everyone else think?

I agree that this is the least interesting "Survivor" I've seen. I suppose the vote-out last night made some sense but I just can't cozy up to the motives. I must say that I don't/didn't like that Ami person at all (and I'm surprised I recalled her name...). Being a strong "woman force" is one thing but being a 'feminazi' is quite another. She's not playing a game! She's playing an agenda. And to hear her declare that she brought a 'good attitude' to the sport here? I wanted to hurl. Let's hope this is the last season of this. They're getting all desperate in their choices of candidates to play. Watching that one person struggle with his prosthetic in The Challenge was disturbing - not interesting. Maybe they call it "good TV" but I'm starting to think it's strictly exploitation. (Off the soapbox now... )

SO what was the mistake up there you were all talking about?? Was it the one when the woman got voted off saving Rory from eviction?
Yeah they are pretty dull - I equate the bloke with the leg (those names ARE hard to remember!) to the dwarf in The Amazing Race - somethign different for us all to gawk at.

Chad! Tha's him. ANyone read Television without Pity? THis cracked me up in the recap of last weeks ... Quote:
When Scout's turn comes, she just dumps hers out, letting somebody else go next. Apparently, she's thinking this course is too hard for her, or for her artificial knee. Which...I don't want to say Chad's showing her up, but she's got to be sitting there like, "Oh, sure, I and my replaced knee would get on the same season as [censored]-Kicking Bionic Foot Guy."

You guys are right about Ami, she's is a "feminazi" (BTW, loved that Gatsby!) She is really starting to show her true colors -- by the looks of the upcoming episode it's starting to wear on Sarge too...I think he feels she's going to woo Julie away. Twyla seems like a good player, even if she was bit flaky about who to vote against last time....I hope she lasts a little longer, at least longer than Eliza.

Bye bye Rory - just a tip .. if you've got black skin the one way to make your nose look huge is to paint white stripes over it how much paint did they leave them for one little flag?? Did they think they were going to paint the whole island? I know why people don't like Ami but for some reason I can't help but like her But my favouite is Twila (sp?) but if she continues to be confused an stuck between the tribes she'll go out quickly. Don't like Chris.

I like Twila as well but I don't think she should have gone with the women and voted Rory off. But otherwise I like her.

What happened? Chris voting off Sarge? Everyone voting off Sarge except Chad? What happened? The tables could have been turned---the guys and Twila and perhaps Scout banding together to take off Eliza, or the guys and Twila and Eliza banding together to take out Scout. I'm bewildered.

I just can't believe that the men had the chance to go into the merge 5 a piece and then voted of another bloke making it 6 women and 4 men. I'm not meaning to be sexist, but did they seriously think that the women would start voting each other off in that scenario? I'm embarassed to call myself male after that one. DOOOOOH!

I'm not sure what Chris or Twila are up to, voting off Sarge. If Chris thinks the rift between the women is going to save him, he's in for a big surprise. Poor Chad, talk about a look of shock and dismay . Twila probably felt safer going with the women, but Chad's strategy (an alliance of Sarge, Chris, himself, Twila and winning over Eliza) would have broken up the women's advantage of numbers. I agree with the opinion about Ami. She is gloating and taking advantage of her hold over the women. Hopefully the next couple of immunity challenges will be physical ones that the men will be up to. When the men are all gone, it'll be break out the litter box 'cause the cattiness will be rampant .
