I've decided I really don't like the redemption island twist. It diminishes the narrative drive of the main competition

Sean--with regards to a question you had, haven't you noticed before that they (for a number of season now) have the teams dress in 2 different colors (clothes as well as swim suits). One team is red/yellow/orange/peach-ish and the other is purple/black/blue/green-ish.

Julieboo, yes I've noticed. But it's never as obvious as this season.

I love the added layer of RI. best line: when Rob asked if Phil had his panties on and Phil said 'yes, but that never stopped me' and then he slapped Rob's ass LMAO

Will someone please explain to me?.... How can two little layaround female twits whose ONLY so called "strategy" appears to have been riding Russell's coattails as part of his harem -- talk smack about Former NFL Player Steve? 'He's not athletic, he doesn't do anything around camp.' Huh? Say WHAT? Have we seen either one of them lift a finger around camp so far? Another question, for the 3 ladies taking a shower under the waterfall, where did they get the shampoo washing their hair? It sure looked like soapy locks.

I didn't see any suds in the hair. I think they were just rinsing. I am enjoying Redemption island, but I think the challenge should occur at the end of the episode. Something about the pace of the show seems off to me. I don't like having to wait a week to see who wins at RI. And yes, loving Rob and his grins and his cleverness. But did he really bury the idol? Why doesn't he have it in his pocket and protected 24x7? Doesn't he need to have it in his possession? Or did he just bury the clue??

Rob buried the clue AND the idol.. there MUST be a rule that someone cannot find a hidden idol or they wouldn't be so casual about where they hide it. Of course they know that people go through their bags so they cannot use them anymore. Russell's two pilot fish seemed to think they could stay alive and then attach to Rob to swim to the final.. hmm. And it wasn't such an overwhelming win for Matt..

Russell's 2 pilot fish--their names totally escape me--reminded me so much of the girls from that movie Romi and Michelle's High School Reunion!

I like the RI twist so far. Survivor execs didn't predict the interplay between the RI contestants and the viewers from those still in the main game, nor did they predict that disgruntled members of one tribe would pledge themselves to the other tribe before the merge. All that stuff is bonus and it's making them like this idea even more. I think it's here to stay. Judging from Probst's tweets last night, he likes Rob, Phillip, Natalie, and Stephanie. He doesn't think the Zapatera tribe has a clue how to play the game. He loves RI for the reasons I stated in previous paragraph.

Lycan, I agree with you about RI. They probably also didn't predict that Russell would go out in a blaze of glory snitching on his team the way he did.

I don't think the Zaps are playing such a great game either and I was disappointed by the lack of plotting by any of them. First for Stephenie and Krista for pretty much not trying within their camp to ruffle feathers or try to stay and for none of the 6 trying to score a deal with the girl that stays...I hope we see some of that next. Other than Rob and maybe Philip, no one seems to have a scheme. Regarding Dave - just the way he got short with Sarita just PROVES he can't handle stress.

I watch mostly to see what Rob's doing, the zap's tribe bores me.

Biscotti, I thought the very same thing as they washed their hair. Where DID they get the shampoo. My conclusion is that overall, Survivor is a much different game that it was in the first couple of seasons. I think the contestants get a LOT more food (probably on the fly from viewers) and toiletries, bug creams, etc. than any of the early contestants got, most likely due to the fact that some of them got quite ill from the Survivor experience. Think EH who returned to the states with some 2-yr long parasite problem and hair falling out. So yes, I think they get shampoo and soap now. None of them look as dirty as they used to either.

I'd like a screen shot of suds, because I didn't see any. I don't think they get soap or shampoo until they win some or go on a challenge where they get a warm shower and a shampoo! Also, look at Philip's back. It is covered with bug bites. He was scratching them with a stick last night. I think just being able to rinse your hair with that fresh water probably makes it look less dirty. I'm guessing that was fresh water, and not sea water. I'm worried about Rob's idol! He barely had it covered with dirt. What if someone finds it? Can't they then claim it? It's not in his bag or in his possession!

What's up with there being so many puzzle challenges this time around. Can it be because they know Rob is really good at solving them? Guess that's one way to make sure he sticks around for a while.

Did I miss something in last night's show? According to Probst's blog from last week there was supposed to be some big outwitting that would have us crying with laughter. I didn't see anything like that...

I don't see suds either. I don't think they've been babied more than the first seasons, I just think the players get smarter as they go along...
