Rob didn't know that she had it, but he knew she was looking for it and didn't want to take any chances. If they all voted for her and she played the idol, she would have control over who got voted out. Rob's too smart to let that happen.

Agreed. He knew she was looking for it. I don't think he knew she had it either, but he suspected. He's a very savvy player. Love Rob! And I agree Happymom! Can't play for the endgame this early. They need strong players or they won't even last until the merge. Kristina made her move too soon and I hope it is her undoing.

I'd love to see Kristina have to battle Francesca on Redemption Island!

so has there been any research to see if Federal Fill (LOL Lajon!) has ever been a Fed? I thought I read he is in technology now. Anyone know what his story is?

You can see his background here but the Federal Agent stuff is: Special Agent Defence Investigative Service DIS Government Agency; Government Administration industry 1986 – 1989 (3 years) The Defense Security Service (DSS) oversees the protection of US and foreign classified information in the hands of industry, administers the National Industrial Security Program for DoD to include issuance of security clearances to industry, supports the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in the conduct of personnel security investigations for DoD, provides security education and training in core security disciplines to the DoD Community and provides information technology services that support the industrial and personnel security missions of DoD and its partner agencies.

I'm still laughing at Lajonesin's "Outwitted himself"! BWAHAHAHAHA! Hopefully it won't take the others long to figure out that "federal agent" is NOT synonymous with FBI!

I didn't realize the season started last night, so thank god for On Demand. I was really sorry to see Francesca go; she seemed like a fun girl, she was lovely, and she had a terrific speaking voice. Maybe she'll be back, but I doubt it. I also like Kristina, who seems very smart. And my god she has big boobs! You can totally see that she'd look like absolute hell if she were there for the whole ride, though. Phil in the sagging pink panties was so annoying through the whole episode, I was sure he'd be the first to go, but that shows how little I know. It's always nice to see Mr Boston and not so nice to see his portly, diminutive compatriot on the other team. I was so skeeved when I saw that guy with the hairy shoulder and then! Then! He took off his shirt and I almost lost it. He was so hairy all over. Brrrrrr. Yuck. The old guy on that team, though? What's with his hot body? It was better than the "Iraq war veteran." And the guy who is supposed to look like Jud the Stud but really doesn't? One hottie with long hair was enough; this one doesn't replace him.

Tish, Matt isn't even in Fabio's league. Gary's goatee and his man-sweater are freaking me out. I hate to sound so shallow, but I hope he gets voted out early so he doesn't creep me out with all that hair. Still loving me some Boston Rob !!!

If Francesca comes back, she'll have to beat out every other player that gets voted out. Somehow, I don't see that happening. Although, it's possible. I'd like to see her back too.

Oh, I want the man sweater guy to stay! I don't mind the hair and I definitely want some fireworks between him and Russell. Pink panty fed guy is the one I would like to see gone, ugh, the undies are really not working for him. Christina(lady who found idol) is not playing a smart game but I love the drama she caused on the first episode! funny!

rob definitely showed his 'experience' when he had an idea that Kristina had the idol. when she was looking in the toolbox he went to her and said 'i know what you're doing..." and those "what if's" are SOOOOO dumb. someone brought up a very good point about redemption island... about how the next tribe to 'vote' someone out - if they will send someone that could possibly beat the person that's already there. that would be very good strategy!! i wonder if they will think of it.

I don't think it's quite fair to criticize people because of their physical appearance, such as the guy with the hairy back. What is he supposed to do, shave his back every day? Quite a trick. Or leave his shirt on in the tropics just so as to not offend the TV audience? I actually like him and his personality and enthusiasm, and don't care about his appearance, which doesn't offend me at all, by the way.

Dawn... I don't follow. I am still trying to figure out the RI strategy. I might think you don't want to vote off someone who could beat another and come back in... they will have it out for you...

I don't think that's such good strategy -- just send someone based on who's currently on Redemption Island and could get beat. Then you'd have a reasonably good team member on the island and who knows who s/he would have to beat in the future? Don't want to take chances like that. That's how to lose a possibly stronger team member.

So Rob and Russell are not granted immunity or any grace period. Not even a guarantee to make merge. Not sure if redemtion island will make this season a bore or not...but what if... Say the producers had given everyone incentive to keep Rob or Russell as long as they could. Not a free pass but each cast member individually was, in secret or not, told that if they make it to jury or final 4 with Rob and/Russell you get money no matter what. You dont have to make alliance with him but its up to you get them to the end for a percentage or not for all the winnings. Like an americas player or something similar is that sound logic...or faulty?

Nick, if that happened/happens it gives an advantage to both Rob and Russell that the others don't have and that's not fair. I'm anxious to get this season rolling. I want to see the other tribe especially my hairy TV friend Ralph. In the previews it looked like he was going toe to toe with Russell....but those previews usually are deceptive. I'd enjoy seeing Russell get schooled. But since Russell seems to put Survivor contestants under his spell it's likely I'll never get to know Ralph.

Gotta' agree w/Lil - Rob and Russ would have the advantage if there was incentive. IMHO, they already have a HUGE advantage from spending 2 seasons there. They know what to expect physically, they know how to play the mind games, and they probably know better how to plan ahead/anticipate others' reactions. I'm not thrilled to see return people in a "new" game, but as long as they aren't given an obvious advantage, I can live with it. TOTALLY agree about the "What if" moments - dumb, dumb, dumb.

On the Canadian channel I watch, there are no "what if" moments, so it is probably reasonable to assume that they are America-only commercials.

Russell and Ralph are my two favourites right now. I also think the toe to toe moments were misinformation.
