I'm sure the producers are salivating for Philip to stay. He is definitely a ratings goldmine and I love to watch his craziness, although I do wonder what his score was on the psychology test(?). And I could do without Ralph. He's creepy.

I was glad Phederal Phil showed up in his saggy fuschia gotchies last night so Colossus could see him in all his glory. The scene where he slew the poor little crab was crazy. Woo you're the great hunter, Phil, you are you are. I was dumbfounded that they took out Matt last night. If Rob was looking to separate a team I would think he'd go after the weaker female this early in the game. I guess he figured Phil can be controlled and Matt was more likely to be able to form a second alliance than his female ally (don't know her name). Russell seemed nonplussed that Ralph wasn't afraid of him. He's really going to be annoyed when he finds out Ralph beat him to the idol. ETA I agree Ralph is kind of creepy, but as long as he keeps sticking it to Russell I'm willing to root for him.

Phil acts just off kilter enough to be fun to watch. Ralph is my favorite so far because he's not as dumb as he looks and I love when people misjudge others on appearance. From Rob's perspective I think getting rid of one person from a strong pair will ensure his position on the tribe. My TV kept going out last night and I missed Phils hunting scene. Any comments on that would be fun to read, I believe.

It was an odd boot that they took out Matt instead of Andrea.

I don't understand that either. Rob is very good at manipulating people but I don't see his logic here. Matt was very predictable and he was a good strong body for the challenges. Perfect guy to keep around. Going after him for shaking hands or teaming up with a physically weaker player doesn't make sense. Phil is great fun to watch. The hunting scene was hilarious.

My fantasy is after the merge seeing Ralph & Phil together. Hope they can hang in until then. Rob was smart to treat Phil like a kid who can't keep quiet. Don't tell him anything until the last moment. I want to be entertained by Russell...and he has given me laughs in the past. However this season he seems weak. Those little honeys he has selected are not in the same league with his past hook ups. The tease for next week show Matt's girlfriend out for revenge against Rob. Of course those previews always tend to mislead us. I think she will have a hard time turning Rob's girl team against him.

I think Rob got rid of Matt because Rob knew chances were that Matt would exceed in getting individual immunity and would probably be well liked and it would be hard to beat him and he had a solid alliance with his A,ber type Survivor girlfriend, so for Rob I think he did what was best for him. If Rob decided to target Andrea instead Rob probably thought Matt's wrath would be worse than Andrea's....we'll have to see. I like the idea of Ralph and Phil hooking up after the merge.

I can't help but see booting Matt as a huge error. They can't win challenges already, and they kick off more strength. Stupid move.

Philip drives me crazy but I want him to be around at least through the merge. Phil and Ralph teaming up has a lot of possibilities, especially if Rob and Russell are still around.

Matt is one of the stronger competitors ... really dumb move to take him out this early in the game when they are still a team. Rob will have NOBODY to blame but himself if they keep losing. being too cocky this early will be his downfall. Matt and his GF were not even a prob at this point and certainly wasnt after rob. His reasoning last night was that he didnt like that Matt went over to the winning team to congratulate them.

I was disappointed in Rob breaking his word to the others about the 6 of them sticking together I think voting off his ally Matt will hurt him down the road. Previews show Andrea unhappy and I don't blame her.

Holly! lolol! Yes! You said Jack Handy but even as I read that, it registered in my mind as Stuart Smalley "I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me." (Al Franken's SNL character.) bwahahah!!! (When I watched the show, the quote immed. went through my head when Phil was saying that he likes himself.) That was so funny! Phil is pretty entertaining. The eye rolling when he gathered the tribe together. Rob is so right, he can't be trusted and needs to be managed. Phil doesn't really bother me so much the way Coach did. Rob has helped me realize that it isn't always about keeping your tribe physically strong. (In my mind though, as a tv watcher only, I really think they should keep their tribes strong.) I think Rob's confessional saying he really didn't want to play it this way makes me think that it's not so bad than if someone else was playing that way. Yep, I'm charmed by Rob just like Grant and all those girls on his tribe. Even logically thinking that it was a bad move to get rid of Matt, I'm so much more understanding. If Russel did the same thing (or even said some of the same things that Rob says), I would hold it against him. I don't hold it against Rob. I guess it is because I like him. He seems like a nice guy. Whereas Russell still seems like same old same old Russell...if you're not with me, you're against me. I lol when Ralph found the HII. I am glad he has it and hasn't told anyone about it. He seems like he became a bit cocky though...and it wasn't like he was trying to find it, that was just luck. (or was edited to look that way anyway) I'm not sure it was smart to confront Russell, but maybe it was. I haven't seen enough of Ralph to really know what I think about him yet.

They had to get rid of someone from the main group, though, or lose Phillip and his physical strength, as Kristina would definitely be expected to play the idol. I don't think Matt was the right choice, but it was a difficult one, so I think Rob seized the shaking hands with the other tribe = potential problem post merge reason, and used it as his chance to get rid of a strong, likeable male competitor. Getting rid of Andrea might have backfired more, because Matt would be upset, and he might have more sway with Grant who probably sees Rob as big competition by now. It was sad though, Matt obviously worshipped Rob, and was completely blindsided. I wonder if he'll beat Francesca.

Did they show Ralph relocating the HII after Russell found the clue? If I recall correctly, when Ralph found the HII, he buried it back where he found it.

Happymom, I was thinking the Al Franken character with the low self-esteem was Jack Handy, hence the "deep thoughts" but you're correct...it's Stuart Smalley, lol. Glad you knew who I meant. And didn't Phil just bring the memory of that skit flooding back, convincing himself that he's an all right guy, lol. Poor Phederal Phil. (I'm giggling right now just thinking about him.)

Rob had better watch out if Matt should be the one to come back from RI. He'll no doubt be less than pleased with how his hero did him.

Lexie, it didn't look like it at the time, but Ralph did actually take the idol, as they showed him putting it in his pocket a bit later. They didn't show him re-hiding it. I wonder what the rules are for if someone finds an idol, re-hides it, and a different person finds it. I would think it's fair game as long as it isn't stolen from someone's bag or clothing.

I thought it looked like he put the idol back too, but I'm thinking maybe he put a rock back in its place because a second later we see him clearly unwrapping the idol.

I don't think Andrea can though will try to put an alliance together to spite Rob. Matt at the moment is not focused on the game, he is still awe struck and will be an easy sway with anyone; even in the group.

Brenda, that's what I thought too. I thought he buried the HII back under the rock. I must have blinked.

Yep Holly, I'm still laughing about that! Oh Phil, oh Phil, I just gotta shake my head. I still just love Rob, but if someone else had gotten rid of Matt (esp. if Russell had), I'd really be criticizing him. Rob only got rid of him because he shook hands with the other tribe and Rob didn't like that. The more I think about it, he should have gotten rid of the girl Matt was spending time with. Rob already said earlier in the show something about there being more girls on their tribe, I think. That is definitely something he should have been worried about. When Rob says he didn't want to have to play Survivor this way and wanted to keep his tribe strong...well...he didn't HAVE TO play it this way. He played it that way based solely on emotions (he did LIKE) that Matt did that. I'm contradicting my earlier post, lol! I still love Rob though.
