Good idea, Whoami. Also, good catch on the pen and paper. Where DID it come from?

I'd totally suck at playing Survivor. I just don't think deviously at all. I really feel for Matt--he's too honest for this 'game' and I can share Jeff's concern about how he'll recover his trust in people after this. Poor kid.

they usually get pen and paper when they are thinking up their new tribe name after a merge.

I don't like Rob. I don't like Phillip. The difference is that while Rob can be cruel and arrogant, he amuses me while he is manipulating others. Phillip does not amuse me. When he speaks I feel nothing but pity and that is not entertaining.

I enjoy watching Rob play the game. It's really the only thing keeping me watching the show this year. His thought processes are ingenius. "We need to pack everything up because we may not be coming back". It didn't look like the other team brought all their stuff and suffered a bit for it. While Rob may not make it to the finals, I think he will be on the jury. I think Dave needs to start getting into Rob's good graces. I like Dave, but he's on the wrong team for me.

Matt is so naive!!! I hope he learned a lesson but I don't think he did. Hopefully, Andrea will explain why she voted him out. I'm sure he doesn't understand why she would turn on him but damn, he outed her without even telling her. When they were reading the bible, anybody could have joined them. So, I don't think they were excluding anyone, people excluded themselves.

I like Rob. I can't seem to help it. I think he's a smart-ass and very snarky sometimes but I don't see him as "cruel". He's very funny a lot of the time, and he's very sharp-witted. I do believe that God is omnipresent, but it still makes me feel funky when people bring him into a game like Survivor or Big Brother.

Matt's probably in the RI shelter, asking God why he didn't help save him from eviction. God's probably saying, "Hey, I gave you a brain!"

I think that Matt is just an honest guy, maybe naive, but also sincere. I also think that God is such a huge part of Matt's life, that it is perfectly normal for him to talk about him alot. I find Matt very refreshing and kind.

Well, Matt did say that life was a lot easier at RI. I don't see him continuing to win many more of those challenges. I do wonder if the entire merged tribe will get to go watch the RI 'battles" now. That might be some interesting conversations.

Poor Matt. I agree he is very naive. Being a nice person isn't really a required skill for being successful at Survivor. He though confessing his temptation to jump to the other tribe to Rob would been seen as favorable and trustworthy, not as flakey and untrustworthy! Of course am loving Rob. He's so clever, funny. And I loved the the lawyer saw what a great play was made in voting out Matt. Not only was the other team's idol flushed, but the person in most danger of flipping was gone again. I'd like to see if David can worm his way in with Rob. Can he successfully do that? I think it's a tough challenge.

I loved Jeff Probst's comment about Matt confessing all to Rob: It’s like telling your girlfriend, “I was thinking about breaking up with you, but I decided not to.” When looked at from that point of view, it was a terrible decision on Matt's part to confess all! Plus, it lost him the trust of his close alliance member, Andrea, because he had told her they wouldn't talk about possibly flipping, then he spilled it all.

Matt may be a good guy but he doesn't understand the game. Anyone know if he was recruited or applied for the show? I'm still getting the most fun out of all things Philip.

Matt, I agree with you that you aren't very good at this game. I really like Rob even more now. He didn't diss religion or Matt. Rob is playing so well right now. I like how Rob said Matt can still be a good Christian. It was a great way to explain to whoever it was. I'm so glad Sarita lost the challenge. I would rather see Survivor played by good Survivor players. She is not one.

I was so shocked that Phillip lasted so long in the challenge. Mike was amazing in that challenge. So was Natalie I guess, I think she had to have been super still but just wasn't as memorable to me as Mike was, or maybe she was not shown as much. I wonder what the Zap tribe members are thinking about Phillip right about now. (ha ha) So funny about the new tribe name!! I also see Rob as snarky sometimes but not cruel. I also worry a little about Matt losing faith in others, however, I think Rob is such a nice guy and when the game is over, I hope he charms his way back into Matt's good graces. I'm sure he'll be able to convince Matt that it is all just in the way to play Survivor.

I just realized Andrea reminds me of that annoying Elisabeth girl from Survivor Australia. And David for whatever reason Lois a lot like Zev from TAR to me.

Tish, I thought the same thing! Interesting that David is the one with high iq and I bet Zev has a high one also.

That's why David looked familiar to me. Couldn't place it before.

I don't understand that they didn't know for sure that they were merging. Their tree mail said they were getting new buffs. Usually, that's a merge. I find most of them play like they have never watched the show before.
