WHY did Alina get any flack for the stealing of food?? She did not steal it, she did eat some, but Na was the sole thief. (Or did I miss something??)

I agree, but I think that Alina was kind of in a no-win situation. If she pointed the finger solely at Na then Na would have come back with "she ate some" and if she kept quiet she was still going to be the girl that ate some (of course, to her credit (and I wince at the thought of saying something nice about Na), Na did tell them that she was the sole thief. Of course that was all gameplay on Na's part because she was angling for a jury vote because she knew even beforehand that Alina was the targeted player. I think Alina thought the less she said the better off she was.

She was aware that what's her face stole it, and then like Roxi says she was in a predicament. Also she though what's her face was an alliance...so she didn't want to rat her out.

I am usually annoyed by self righteous and arrogant people and that is what Sash, Brenda, and their cohorts have become. They are so sure of getting Marty out that as much as I dislike him for the same traits, I am beginning to dislike them more and find myself hoping he stays around just to annoy them. OK, did any of that make sense?

Yes it's making perfect sense Allie and I'm starting to feel the same. I want Marty gone! but they are so assured they can get him out whenever they want, that I somehow want him to foil that plan, as long as Jane and Fabio aren't casualties.

I don't know why Holly didnt yell out to Nay, "where are you taking the flour" when Holly saw her put it in her bag and walk away. I had to laugh out loud when Nay told Jeff that she had been punished for taking the food, he said how? Nay says"nobody talked to me" lmao

Scooter, I posted last week, asking if I was the only one who disliked Jane? Apparently, last week, I was! I'm glad I'm not alone THIS week!! (Personally, I think she's a bitter woman, and it shows in how she's playing the game. Very vindictive.) As for NaOnka, I can see why they would keep her. No one would vote for her to win. But good gawd girl, grow up. You're not in junior high school. Wah wah, so no one wanted to talk to you? What did you THINK would happen when you stole food and other items? And again, how childish to take food because you thought you didn't get the bigger tortilla? GROW UP!

Well, I like Jane and she is by far my fav. followed by Fabio. I really don't care for any of the others - as far as rooting for them to win. I think Na makes good TV and I could stand her alot longer than Marty. I really do not like Sash! They will have a hard time getting him out if they don't start soon. Dan is just useless as well as Kelly - they aren't a threat so they'll be around while the "threats" are being picked off one by one. I only started warming up to Chase when he bonded with Jane. I'm not sure what to think of Holly. Benry calling Alina that name was not called for so he's prob. just one step above Sash and Marty as being my least fav.

I am having a hard time watching this season. It has become the NaOnka show... I want to tune in to watch Survivor not Ghetto High.

I was impressed with Jane's ability in that challenge... but gosh taking one look at her from the back... her spine actually protrudes... she needs some meat on her to protect her spine.

I like Jane too, but I have to wonder if she realizes that once her alliance gets rid of the rest of the older tribe and the ones they dislike, she will be the next to go. I don't see her lasting past the 5th or 6th place. She would have been smarter to try to get Dan, Marty, and the "outcasts" from the younger tribe to band together. If she and Marty had teamed up once the merge happened they could possibly have accomplished something. I guess she is just along for the adventure. She can't really believe any of them are going to take her to the end. Instead both wanted the other out. Jane because of bitterness that she was not included in the "in" alliance in the older tribe and Marty because he knows Jane is out to get him and he also knows that she would win the money at the end if she is not taken out.

At least I'm finding Jane interesting. Finally someone who seems to have worked hard to prepare for being on Survivor. So good for her! Overall though this has to be the worst Survivor cast in years. No one to cheer for and generally all seem to be miserable players in an uninteresting game. A very disappointing season. (Still watching though as it is one of my all time favorite series.)

Jimmer, that's pretty harsh. There are two people to cheer for, IMO. Chase and Jane. Both southern people with genuinely nice personalities. But there are also plenty of people to hate...NaOnka, Brenda, Marty.... But there is a "mastermind", and he goes by the name of "Sash". I'm intrigued by this season, because it is atypical of other seasons. Brenda thinks she's in charge, Sash knows he is, and NaOnka is hated by us, but not by her tribemates. And Marty still thinks he has moves left... And how long will Dan last? Will Fabio get a brain and start strategizing? I think this season has a lot to offer.

I think it would be a good giggle if Dan, with his snarly knee and general inability to do anything physical, could Outlast Marty. Would that be the ultimate irony, or what?

NaOnka probably thinks she's in charge...LOL! I think Jane's blind spot is that she probably thinks that if she plays hard and works hard she will win, because that's the generation that she is from. Unfortunately that is not true in the game of Survivor...if it truly was a survivor experience Jane would be the one you would want to be stuck on an island with though!

I admire Jane's spunk but kind of agree that she's very annoying at the same time. I don't think she's doing the social aspect of the game well. Of course, being that she's older and not particularly attractive she already started out with a bigger hill to climb on this show.

Jane obviously trained very hard physically to be on Survivor. I think she is incredible. But did she train as hard mentally? She is falling into the same traps that a lot of people have done. She has let a personal animosity blind her to the possibilities that could lead to success. Marty didn't treat her with the respect she thought she deserved, so she wants him gone no matter what else happens. We see it every season. Someone gets cross ways with another player and wants them out so badly, they can't see anything else. And Jane is not the only one. It is almost like they are at camp and just want the experience to be a pleasant one. They lose sight of the million dollars. Maybe some of them don't really believe they can win, so they just want to enjoy the time they have.

Bisc, I'm sure that is what will happen...I'm sure Dan will outlast Marty. (I'm amazed his tribe kept him so long.) Marty is not playing a smart game and Dan will be kept because he poses no threat physically or probably strategically. Dan seems to lay really low most of the time. Speaking of laying low...I always forget about purple Kelly. I'm always surprised to see her on the tv screen. I think one of the reasons this season doesn't seem to have a very good cast is because it follows a really exciting season. I also think moving it to Wednesdays makes it less exciting for some reason. I'm a huge fan, but not as much of a fan because of the move to Wed.

I think another thing that makes this season not as interesting was the initial dividing the tribes by age, when there was a ten-year age gap between them. There was too great a discrepancy in the ages and abilities of the two tribes. Even after the mini-merge and again after the merge, when the younger people voted off one of their own, they still had/have a clear majority.

If I were going anywhere to "enjoy the experience," it would be somewhere with gourmet meals, hot showers, comfy beds, interesting activities, and fun companions. "Survivor" qualifies on none of those criteria. Perhaps that is why I do Road Scholar (formerly Elderhostel) programs instead? I am freshly returned from a trio of programs in VA and MD -

I can't wait for this season to be over.....I doubt this show has more life left than the upcoming next season then it'll go caput because the casting department sucks.

Up above, Allie wondered if she was making any sense about Brenda, Sash and crew. Since I've found them distasteful since the first week and short of being full-out bullies, yes, I understood you completely. I didn't care for Jane in the beginning but have grown to like her since the merge. I really like Chase. Is he still there? If Brenda and Sash don't like him, then you know he's a good person. Heck, I'd be thrilled if Fabio took it all!

I have wondered all along if Fabio was playing a role. Could anyone really be as dumb as he acts? Then in the previews of the next week, he is talking to someone, forgot who, and made the comment that he was really getting tired of playing dumb. Are we about to find out that he really is smarter than he is acting, and that someone else is in on the act. If so, it will be the best disguise any player has assumed in the history of Survivor. I hope it is because it would absolutely make the season.
