Forgot to say thank you to Biscottiii for those links to Ponderosa. May I also say that I want to know what resort they're at? It's beautiful!

What's the deal with Jane's exceptionally personal comments about Marti being a "disgrace to every man who calls himself a father," how she'd never want her children to play with his, Well my kids do hang with Marty's son ... he is a great kid!!

We don't see all of tribal council, so Marty may have said something inappropriate last week that we don't know about that Jane was referring to.

Say what, Bonbon? you know Marty??? details please? I actually found myself liking Naonka these last few weeks. She has a tough outer shell but inside I think she has a soft side too. Brenda is one strong woman, emotionally. Poor Chase, lol. He seems head over heals for her and she doesn't return the feeling at all. My favs are changing... I still like Jane but now I want Fabio to win.

Okay Julie. Spoiler re: the big shock for next week.
Spoiler Click below to view spoiler | There is a huge fire at the camp. Before leaving for the reward challenge, Jane gathers up extra wood and leaves it near the fire. Also left near the fire are the Sears boxes with the previous reward challenge prizes. Jane is on the team that wins the reward for next week, so while the losing team is trying to salvage what they can (which sounds like very little is left), Jane is out on the reward |

Jane sure made it personal! I want to like her but I'm finding that she is not strong enough to stay out of that trap of personalizing things. I do appreciate her preparation, physically, for the game; just not prepared emotionally. I'm loving Fabio. There's a sweet innocence about him and, I don't think he's stupid! Brenda, in my eyes, is ruthless and not at all pleasurable to watch. Yuck to anyone who thinks they are running the game.

I think Brenda's problem is she thinks of herself as the next Parvati. Unfortunately for Brenda, she doesn't have the social skills that Parvati had.

The entire "don't annoy Brenda" thing, like she's some kind of queen.... very annoying! I think she will suffer a fall. People will tire of that attitude. And yes, I never thought I'd say it, but I'm getting a bit of kick out of Naonka now. I'd like her to hang around a bit, for entertainment purposes. She's raw. Lexie, I'm not going to look. You can tempt me, but I'm not going to look. I'm glad to hear it's going to be a "good" shocker, not some lame thing they always try to tease us with.

Well, the guy with the "perfect plan" is at Ponderosa, and the "best players" are at Elimination Station on TAR - what the heck is going on?!?

Does anybody else like the Ponderosa Marty much better than the in-camp Marty? Once he got over the first night thing he's actually seemed to have relaxed and is enjoying himself.

I can't believe I'm typing this but I rather see Jane go home before Na. Honestly I want them all to go home and this season to be over. This might be the first year I bail before the end of the season.

I saw Survivor last night. It's Thursday afternoon, getting excited . . . Survivor's on tonight. NOT. Switch from Thursday to Wednesday still feels weird to me.

I actually like this season because HELLO, no Russell. I like Jud, I used to like Brenda but she has the "I'm in control of things" smug going so she's lost me, Chase is clueless but OK. Hopefully Jane will lose the attitude with Marty gone and be someone I can continue to root for. Holly, with all her early game histrionics, has disappeared into the wallpaper. Naonka gives me another person to watch simply to see them go, I'm looking forward to her leaving. Purple Kelly IS wallpaper as far as the production is concerned, I saw her last night and didn't know who she was. Benry doesn't bother me, Sash does but I don't hate him. I'm liking this season, particularly since Marty is out LOL.

I have two words for Brenda and Sash - Rotu 4 - they thought the were in control of the game and look what happened to them. One of Marty's downfalls...if not his biggest downfall...is that he could not comprehend that others were playing the game. I think someone else might have stated that earlier. Oh and his hair. I'm starting to believe that NaOnka doesn't believe everything that comes out of her mouth...I certainly don't. I knew when she didn't play her idle that Marty's proverbial jig was up. Jane wasn't so stellar in this weeks RC. P90X was only at P45X.

I might be the only one who really enjoyed Marty as a player...I thought he was very articulate and insightful in all his comments -- that's something that's often lacking in this show. Yea, he got paranoid, but he had good reason. And for the record, I really dislike Jane. I can't see any reason for her to be so spiteful and nasty.

I bet she is not spiteful in real life, but got fed up with the nasty way Marty reamed her.

Honestly thought Marty was spiteful and nasty for constantly mocking Jane's accent. Anyone who didn't get in line for his immaculate version of how to play and who to vote off were immediately on his stupid list. For the record I really like Jane and dislike Marty. To me he was an overblown pompous elitist. Ah well My southern roots are showing, just a tad! Forgive me if I sound short. Mom in the hospital for 3 weeks, caring for her, work and caring for my granddaughter has me frazzled.

I agree. I think Marty entered the game with strategies and ready to play! He wasn't any more offensive than many, many others. I think he always tried to keep it to the game strategy; Jane, however, made it personal...especially with those remarks about him being a father. Yuck! I'll sit with you two on the couch.

But we only see a small part of what goes on every three days. Marty may have been very offensive to Jane and they chose not to show it. His making fun of her "fish dance" was pretty personal.

Yes, I saw a lot of personal attacks coming from Marty. We only saw a small snippet of Tribal where he strung her up. The making fun of her fishing and her accent. I thought it was mean spirited. It seemed like she didn't really get nasty toward him until he publicly attacked her. I'm sure Marty is a fine guy to hang around. He's smart, personable (I guess as long as you don't have a twang). His biggest downfall is that he thinks he's smarter than everyone and can't see that there are many ways to play *this* game.

Brenda, I have to agree with that! Marty's got an ego that is bigger than it needs to be. I just watched the Ponderosa clips, and, good grief, he wasn't all THAT smart, as he thinks he is....!! Still don't like Jane, though.

Agree with the surmise that Marty thought he was the only player in the game. Rather than just shutting up like Alina, I might have been tempted to go on and on about how he never had a chance, but I certainly should have won the game if only they hadn't snapped to how cunning I was too early. Pamy: LOL at Juju. I dont know if she is pulling your leg or not but I dont think the this shock is that big of a deal. but.......there are some future shocks that are huge!!!!! Oopsie, I got my stuff mixed up. Next episode is not the one that promises to be very exciting.

I think Marty is a smart guy, had good ideas for strategy but he just wanted to be the boss. I wanted him to hang around for another week just to mess up their plans. I knew there's no way he'd make it further unless he won immunity. Now that he's gone, let's see who the next target will be. Team Jud all the way!

Not such a bad interview for a guy none of us can stand, lol. But, hey, Marty, you ain't no Boston Rob. You ain't no Tom Westman (saw him compare himself in another interview to Tom and some other charismatic, strong older character whose name I forgot). You just are not. Not even close.

He for sure isn't a Boston Rob! Rob charmed people. Now I can see a comparison between Tom and Marty because I thought Tom was a manipultive bully. So, yes, I can see him comparing himself to Tom. Both guys who really thought they were stand up guys, smarter than others. Not fans of either one!

Yeah, Marty needs to compare himself to Boston Rob and Tom while telling us how 'smart' he was. Sorry Dude, I'm not buying it either!

And that's just the thing, isn't it? Marty has to "tell" us how smart he is, as opposed to how we would actually figure it out if he were really as smart as he thinks he is.
