I don't think she should have stolen his shorts. Stealing personal possessions takes it to a different level. But I guess that is becoming a part of Survivor now. Interesting how when one person crosses a line, others quickly follow. As far as them choosing to eliminate Julie over Steve or Ralph, I think Julie is an equal threat in the challenges.

I'm looking forward to scenes of Phil bending over with his fuschia-framed junk hanging two inches from Rob's face. I'll bet Rob demands that Phil be voted off once and for all. I'm-a-just sayin'.

I just wondering why we haven't seen anyone steal the idol from the other person. If they can steal and destroy other people's property, can't they also steal the idol? I'd love to see Rob win too and I'd really like to see a non-bitter Zap jury that will really vote for good game play. They came into the merge without the numbers so have little reason to be bitter. Now the rest of the jury may be brutal as they have to turn on each other. I was disappointed in Julie's hiding of the shorts, burying them so they won't be found. It really seems very petty.

I think Julie was voted out over the rice incident with Phil. None of them are game playing to any extent, so was a toss-up as to which one would go. Phil probably wanted either Julie or Steve gone. Rob threw him a bone with Julie leaving Steve for a later time. And Ralph appears to be a non-factor in either gameplay or challenges.

I may not be able to keep watching to see who wins. I'm giving this season one more episode and them I'm outta there. These people are the worst game players ever. I like Rob and think he's playing a great game but what about the rest of them????? It's like watching Dale Earnhardt race against my grandmother. Unless someone on Rob’s team realizes they need to play the game it's not even an ounce of fun to watch.

Why shouldn't Grant attach to Rob and let Rob take all the heat? Isn't that what the winner did the year of Russell's season? Like it or not it is good game play. And Grant has done more than his fair share of the work in winning challenges...he is probably (IMO) their most competitive person. As a matter of fact if I had the opportunity to vote him out (if I was the other team) he would be one of my first choices, simply because he is strong and has a track record of doing well at different kind of challenges.

I don't think any of them want to sit next to Rob at the end, so I'm sure they will take him out when they can. I just have to hope he uses his idol wisely and wins a few key immunity challenges.

I think that If Rob makes it to the end (f2) he'd win against no matter who he was sitting next to. They all love him. And I'm not so sure all of them would necessarily ever vote Rob off....plus he's still got the idol that no one knows about. I think Rob will know when to use his idol. Something crazy has to happen for Rob not to walk away with the million dollars.

I agree, but Grant might be thinking along the lines of "nobody will give Rob the $1 million" or "we will get rid of Rob once we are through with the othet tribe." I think once Zapatera is disposed of the target will turn toward Rob...although I think Phillip might be the first target.

I think you're completely right, Roxip; while they may be blinded, they are there to win a million bucks. As amazing as Rob's game is and however much he has them spellbound, I think once Steve and Ralph are gone (unless they all mutiny and demand Phil get bumped first!) the others will start thinking about getting Rob out.

I really hate the idea of Phil going to the end. Everything about him disgusts me and while strategically I understand taking a hated player to the end it is the same thing as all those folks who took Russel to the end. Russel believed he was better than everyone else. I would like to see Phil booted right in the middle of the game. Obviously they have to get rid of Rob at some point because if Rob goes to final two with anyone, Rob wins. He has ruled this game just like evil Wil ran big brother in Big Brother 2. People like that should win because the ran the game. The thing that separates Rob from Russel, is that he has never moved ahead out of meanness and he has maintained a sense of humor which for me goes a long long way.

I'm sure Russel would claim he's the best player who never won the game, but I think that title will belong with Rob. Phil still cracks me up. I'm sure he'd drive me batty in person, but I'm still amused on the show.

I think Rob put the target on Julie to avoid giving her an opportunity to approach the other girls on his tribe with an "all girl alliance" type move. Once Ometepe starts the cannibalize themselves, not too many people will be happy with Rob (cause they think he's going to take each of them to the end). No one is talking amongst themselves about taking him down (or else the producers aren't showing it, in order to blindside the audience, which would not be true to their typical editing, cause we would soooo relish seeing this behind-the-back-back-stabbing planning).

I think people are genuinely hoping Rob will carry them to the end because they regard him as a winner and they think they can cut him loose near the end. Their egos are all telling them that they can control when to cut Rob loose. we will see. They never factor in someone winning all the immunity challenges

I just wondering why we haven't seen anyone steal the idol from the other person. If they can steal and destroy other people's property, can't they also steal the idol? Unless the rules have changed, we have seen them explicitly state in previous seasons that you can't steal the hidden Immunity Idol. I think it's safe to assume you can't steal the regular Immunity Idol either.

Thanks for the link, Biscottiii. Do you think they've finally been instructed to avoid answering the "were you recruited" question?

I remember last year, two girls literally fought over the clue to the hidden immunity idol while they were on a reward. So, the clues are ok to steal but idols are not?

Yes Txhazeleyes, that's always been my impression of the rules. CBS likes the drama and fighting over the clues, but they have to have rules about stealing the HII to make it a fairer fight. Yes also Spear. I think CBS has had a LOT of flap over the issue of "recruitment" in blogs & comment sections, after so many people have applied and been rejected. David is a trial lawyer so knows how to parse his words more carefully.

As far as the Julie boot, I was initially surprised. But later thinking, it made more sense to me. She's perceived as a stronger player than Steve or Ralph. A couple of episodes ago, or maybe in the clips, when Mike and Dave were voted off Steve said something like he wasn't sure he was going to make it much further. Plus Steve obviously appears to spend a lot of time resting as Ralph & Julie go fishing. Rob made a comment that he's done 'mercy' boots before, but not this time. In Spear's 1:51 am clip where Rob says 'he loves Philip', Rob says that Julie is eating too much rice, she had cooked up 7 cups of it for the 3 of them to eat. Sooner or later they were going to have to take the rice from Zap.' Then Julie kept commenting about how much rice they had to eat, smacking her lips. That probably created a LOT of animosity for hungry people & they're hoping there will be something left to 'take'. Rob also said that Zap tribe wasn't letting them use the fishing net. What I think would be a hoot would be for the very last Zap member to pack up the fishing net into his bag, and take with him to tribal council - call it a souvenir.

Spear... I don't think they were instructed to not talk about being recruited. Sarita said she was in a bar acting wild and someone came over to her and asked her if she would be interested in Survivor.

I bet that RI will be the reason RoB loses this game. Sucks that the new twists always screw his game up. Last time it was the HII...he was so happy he wouldnt let it ruin this game but then they threw RI and he cant factor that in since no one knows how it will all work out in the end
