Holly said after apologizing to Dan she tried to go back and find the shoes, but she couldn't.

Holly - I'm not a quitter CBS videos

I wasn't liking Shannon much from the beginning, he just seemed too full of himself and kind of a bully. What? So Sash is supposed to be gay because there's lots of gays in New York? There's LOTS of straight guys in NY too. I'm not buying it - just because blowhard Shannon decided that was the case. Will only believe that if Sash himself says so.

Shannon was an idiot ALL THE WAY AROUND. So long dufass, glad to see you gone 1st!

This was a great episode of Survivor. This is what the producers wanted from the beginning. Conflict, A-type personalities crashing into each other, people going nuts, etc.

Na'Onka is a real piece of work. She has serious narcissistic tendencies.

Shannon WAS a bully, and he's probably gotten his way all his life, and when he heard that he may not get his way this time he lashed out. Good riddance, homophobe.

Holly is just a weird person, much like her alliance member Wendy. Jimmy propping her up was his instinct to protect and lead his team/tribe. He can't cut her or bench her, so he's gotta motivate her. Good job...for now...like he said, it's easier to fall into a funk a second time.

This season should be real fun!

I just can't help feel (Holly especially but NaOnka too) was trying to emulate Russell villain tricks.

I've been trying so hard to figure out who switched to vote off Shannon. In a couple of CBS videos, it sounds like there was a strong 6-person alliance (whittled to 5-person when Chase was pulled away.

Here's the Tribal Council Voting Comments. If I've got the players right, it 'looks' like (after Shannon's tirade) both Kelly B. and Benry defected. I kind of thought so, with the look on Kelly B.'s face and last comment to Jeff that we need to keep the tribe working together.

CBS Voting Comments tape

6-person alliance
B=Shannon
B=Fabio
B=Alina
S=Kelly B., prosthetic leg
S=Benry
S=Chase

other 'Minority' alliance
S=NaOnka
S=Brenda
S=Sash
S=Kelly S., blonde

Those were EXACTLY my thoughts while watching. Ladies, not too smart! This time around, EVERYONE knows how Russell played.

Biscottiii, I have to agree with you about Holly and NaOnka. I think they were both trying to emulate Russell, but there is a difference between devious and crazy! LOL!

Neither of them seems to have the emotional and psychological strength to behave strategically.

Now I know why Jeff Probst said that Holly is fun to watch, and she makes him tilt his head and look at her like he's a curious dog whenever she appears!

I have never laughed at a tribal council like I did this one. Hilarious. I couldn't believe all the people who could not just keep their traps shut. Loved how the dynamics changed on a dime.

The younger tribe is one hot mess. And Naonka is just plain rude. As far as I'm concerned, she can't leave soon enough.

I got a kick out of Tyrone when he said that, too, Pamy!

I can't believe Naonka is a teacher, even if it is P.E.- yuck attitude.

Alina has such a baby face, she's cute.

Funniest thing Shannon said was that he hoped the older tribe whips the younger tribe's butt or something like that!

Shannon says....you are gay...but he forgot to add...of course there is nothing wrong with that.
Sash...did seem to protest a bit too much.

When NaOnka was trying to connect with him, I thought she might be wasting her time.

They can forget about being like Russell.....they wouldn't make a pimple on R

Think Shannon was a (insert your favorite word which cannot be used here), but I think it was a poor strategic move to target him last night. It would have been better to get rid of a weaker player (or Na'onka) instead of getting rid of one of the stronger players. Again, a classic case of playing the end game too soon.

Holly...she's just bat-poop crazy! Stealing the man's very expensive shoes (and who brings $1600 shoes to a jungle anyway?). And then filling them with sand and throwing them in the water? I can see hiding them, but out-and-out theft and destruction...I guess she figured it worked for Russell but it was still a stupid move. She needs more psychiatric help than anyone on this show can give her!

Holly's behavior last night was just plain strange, to the point where I wonder how she passed the psychological portion of pre-game testing (if they in fact have that. I assume they do given the hardships of this game).

Disappointed in Holly as well. She'd been a growing favorite of mine and I think she could do really well. Hopefully she'll pull it together.

I was disappointed in Holy, I liked her and thought she and Jill could have made a smart alliance, that was until she went nutty on us.

Jill and Marty working together was also strange to me, if Jill had the smarts to work out where the idol was I don't know why she did not just go and get it.

NaOnka, I do not know what to say about her, as we all know getting into peoples faces early in the game is a one way ticket to the door.

I really enjoyed lasts nights show, very entertaining on many levels for the game.

I can't remember the last time I watched a Survivor episode and laughed so much during the whole thing. I keep thinking this show will get old, and then this season comes along and I just found it hysterically entertaining!

I think the producers stopped by Nutz R Us and asked for an extra large portion when they were casting this season. As much as I despise Russell, it might have been interesting to watch him interact with these crazies. I think they might be too unpredictable for Russell to have known how to control them lolol.

LOL - We all just sat here with our mouths open watching this. There were so many crazy moments on how not to play Survivor
1. Lose an article of clothing and randomly steal someone else's shoes and destroy them.

2. Compound it by suddenly feeling your conscience and confessing in front of the entire tribe.

3. Blatantly steal and wear someone else's socks and then when politely asked about it accuse the victim of having a bad attitude.

4. Wish that a one legged woman does poorly in a challenge so you can vote her off.

5. Tell everyone that you can get far hotter chicks than the other guy.

6. Randomly announce that someone is gay (um ... like so many other people from New York).
I'm sure there was lots more that I missed.

Nerohv, I'm afraid this cast is so nutty, Russell might have DOR'd on this group.

From start to finish, it was the oddest episode of Survivor that I've seen.

Fabio was a gem when he stopped short of confronting NaOnka about the stolen socks. How he didn't pull them off her is beyond me. He reminds me of the male blonde on TMZ . . . appears ditzy, seems immature, but quite likeable. He remained a gentleman, which was outstanding. I don't like his dreadlock foolishness.

Kudos to Marty (?) for keeping his cool when Holly confessed to being the shoe thief. Boos to Marty for bringing shoes like that to Survivor.

Dan had the shoes. I thought it wasn't smart of him to tell everyone his shoes cost $1600. Good argument for him not to get the money if he is in the finals...with $1600 shoes, he doesn't need the money.

(I personally would never vote for or against someone based on whether I think they need the money or not if I were on a Survivor jury, but many do or at least discuss that.)

I thought it was against the rules to go into somebody's bag and steal something. Then to go and ruin it to me is really wrong. I can see taking something if it is just laying around like I think the socks were, but to go into his bag and take the shoes that is wrong, wrong, wrong!!!

I know the rules say that you can't steal an idol from someone's bag; they should make it so you can't go into someone's bag, period!

Did she go into his bag to get the socks? I thought they were just laying around.

As for Holly and NaOnka trying to play like Russell - I don't think so. Holly is just losing it (kudos to coach for talking her off the ledge) and NaOnka, she's just an angry woman....

And Dan....WHY would you bring a pair of alligator shoes onto the "set" of Survivor? Not too smart.......but, maybe those were the cheapest pair of shoes he owns.......

Loved last nights show - think this is going to be one of the best seasons ever!!!!!
