I'm enjoying the season - The Zaps are feeling the result of their own decisions. They chose to throw a competition, and they have never recovered. Rob is playing smart - he didn't encourage ANY of his tribe to eat and give away the immunity idol. He knows that the Zaps will be targeting individuals, so he institutes a "buddy system." Anyone who has watched the game should know these things, but we see time and again how people ignore the basics. Rob is covering all his bases, and he must not be unbearably cocky w/his tribemates or they'd dump him like Russell's dumped him.

It was a smart move to get rid of Russell, I think keeping Sarita over Stephanie is where they lost some footing. Rob has done this three other times, he has a huge advantage over everyone in the game, his tribe is just following him, they are not playing, but helping Rob win. That makes it boring to me. I hope you are right about the previews and Matt doesn't get upset enough to leave.

Those previews have led me down the garden path so many times....I just don't trust any of them. I am liking this season but then I always do. Easily entertained I guess.

What if everyone at RI gets fed up and walks off into the night, and when the crew come to play the duel (or whatever) no one is there? Could you really blame them?

If they don't want another shot at $1 million, I'd say let 'em walk.

Do they really have a shot at the million? Realistically speaking? I'm thinking no.

ITA with Happymom. The only zaps that were interesting got voted out quickly. I would like to see Steph, Francesca, and Kristina in another season but not really any others.

Oh please. No returns! Seeing these people once is enough. There's too much of this 'returning reality contestants' already.

I don't think this season is boring.. but there is too much focus on Redemption Island. I would like to see Reward challenges and get to know those still in the game... But there are just too many survivors that I don't even know by name.

Bear with me if I should know these things, are the cameras very close up when filming things going on the camps? Not when they are talking to the camera but otherwise. Just wondering, wondering also if all these times that Matt has been alone, is he allowed to talk to the crew? It would be awful lonesome if he can't.

It looks like Rob is going to have his own show on the History Channel! http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2011/04/boston-rob-mariano-has-a-new-show-around-the-world-in-80-ways-on-history.html

Connie - I don't think any interaction with the crew is allowed. In one of the very early seasons there was a rumor that some of the girls were trading sex for energy bars, but I think that was pretty much discredited -

The History Channel has gone the way of MTV and the Food Network as far as I'm concerned. Between Ice Road Truckers and American Pickers and now Rob's travel show, there isn't much history going on.

I don't buy the sex for engergy bars thing either. Ha. I just wondered about contact, am feeling sorry for Matt being alone so much this season. Course he isn't now.

Screw that stuff, Pippin. Give me some Alexander the Great, some Vlad the Impaler, some Edward the Confessor. And what about the Russian tsars? What about the women's rights movement? The trials of the early colonists? Throw in the early years of Broadway and the development of the East End in London. I could even dig some Woodrow Wilson. History sells itself, they don't need no stinkin' Pawn Stars. Sigh. And I had such hopes for that channel.

It seems everytime I put it on American Pickers or Canadian pickers is on. We are lucky to have Vision TV. They have a lot of history stuff on late at night.

What I thought I would like if we could have cable would be the History channel. Well, forget that.

I'll be watching Rob. Shoot I'd watch if all he did was just sit there and look pretty.
