Too lazy to read back but... has anyone commented on the idiocy of wearing $1600 dress shoes to Survivor? Even if you thought you were only flying down to Nicaragua and were gonna go to dinner, wouldn't you still wear cheap azz shoes? Knowing you might could go directly to the Survivor island??

P.S. And some of the young team being all worried about Kelly and her leg and being able to stand up to challenges? Um folks, didya SEE her abs? She's really toned. That means she works out. She's got muscle. More than some of you. I'd bet she could whomp on all y'all's butts.

Yes, we've all agreed that $1600 shoes are ridiculous...and bringing them to a jungle? But he didn't deserve to have them stolen and ruined.

I didn't comment on what happened to the shoes. I was commenting on who the heck would bring shoes like that to Nicaragua, and why.

Maybe the guy didn't trust that his fancy shoes would be safe at home, LOL. They could have walked off with his housekeeper or something.

I had to giggle at the guy who said in awe "I'm getting a pep talk from Jimmy Johnson."

Don't they sometimes take the people off guard like at a luncheon or a dinner, or a photo shoot and whisk them off to start the game with no warning. One year, one of the women had on a nice dress and heels. One year a guy had on an Armani suit.

Yes they do -- get them dressed up in their best clothes all pretty for pictures, and then plop them on the boat and drop them off!

Sia! Hahaha, his housekeeper! That's funny! Considering he could afford $1600 shoes, though, he probably does have a houskeeper! I agree with Costa. Why bring shoes like that to the freaking jungle? That's like advertising that you DON'T need the money! (Needing vs. wanting the money ... I could care less.) Just reviewing the highlights of the show and lots of comments here. Honestly! I have to agree that this was one of the best TC's EVER! I laughed so hard, but was sitting on the edge of my seat at the same time waiting for the next dumbest comment! It was one TC I didn't want to end! And it was soooo unexpected. I thought it was going to be another boring vote-off. So when the fireworks started and kept going, I was glad I had tuned it!! Holly seemed certifiable, but I'm liking how Jimmy J worked his magic. She won't forget his kindness if she's on the jury and he makes it to the end. And once the dust settled, she seemed likeable and not certifiable! Naonka went bonkers! Umm, let's see what missy is missing besides her socks - attitude adjustment (check), humility (check), a zipper for her trap (check)! Fabio, oh Fabio, where 'for art thou, Fabio? Is he really in this world with us? Shannon! Umm, okay, his name was 'nough said. Ugh! But wait let me say this. It was as if someone gave him directions which said, "open mouth and insert both feet!" Whats-his-face had better start playing his own game, or Brenda will play it for him! I kind of like these two paired up, however, but doesn't he have a mind of his own, too? For those of you who watched BB, doesn't this remind you of Brenchal (except Brenda isn't using tactics like Rachal did to twist this man's brain). Brenda seems very intelligent. I do like, however, that he's not sticking with the guys for the sake of it, or even because they expect him to. He's doing his own thing. I like that. I'm soooo liking Tyrone!! He was hilarious in the last show. Plus, I think he's going to end up playing a great game by not being bothered with senseless stuff.

Those shoes looked like they were 30 years old, toes all curled up, heels worn down. $1,600 ? Back in the 70's maybe.

HEY! Don't knock housekeepers! All of the clothes AND shoes in my walk-in probably did not cost $1600, but I have a housekeeper - for two hours every two weeks, but a housekeeper!

I'm not knocking housekeepers at all. I just can't imagine that the guy has anyone in his home other than paid help. I could just as easily have said the plumber might take his shoes. The occupation isn't the point; I was making a joke in an effort to figure out how the heck he could have thought it was better to bring expensive shoes to a tropical island than to leave them at home. There's no justification for bringing valuables when taking part in Survivor. I won't even let my daughter bring her iPod to the football games. She wants to listen to music during the bus ride, but I warn her that someone might take it from her duffel bag while she's at the concession stand.
