This is the most boring Survivor ever. I'm basically watching it by default. *sigh* 5 people have been voted off and I still don't know all their names. Sorry, rant over.

Why didn't the women know about the sugarcane, coconuts, etc before Dah showed up? In previous seasons they gave then books or lessons in survival skills.

This was another strange episode. I just dont know what to think. The non-fit men are being highly successful at eliminating the fit guys. I am AMAZED that they voted out Brady when John(?) is a HUGE threat since he has already made contact with the female tribe. This SHOULD have made him #1 on the hit list as a threat when they merge. These chubby guys are bumming me out on the show. They didnt even seem to be trying to listen to Rory give instructions...they seemed to want to lose. Looking forward to next week......Jeff was shown saying something about removing their buffs...and we know what THAT means!! shake things up!

Jeff said on Survivor Live at the very beginning of this season that tribal council would be at different intervals. So, him saying that Yasir would live to see another day wasn't surprising to me. We have already seen them have back to back tribal councils and the double eviction. I like it that they are changing things around this year.

I rarely complain about Survivor but this one is boring! I don't like any of the older players. The only ones that I actually like are the younger guys who keep getting voted off. It's never enjoyable to see older players get picked on for their age (as happened in some past shows) but it's also not enjoyable to see the older players gang up against the younger ones. It’s a very distasteful strategy and one that may not be productive in the long run.

I love that the older ones are FINALLY getting rid of the younger ones first... And they said this was the youngest group yet...

Sorry folks, I just can't agree with those of you who are complaining that all the handsome men are getting voted off. I just don't think that being good-looking is the highest qualification for being worthy of staying. Those whom you find so unattractive seem to be making their way through the game just fine. Snort.

It's weird because this season I like the older men and younger women and do not like the younger men and older women. I guess because both younger men and the older women seem to have kind of superior attitudes. I think it's funny how surprised the young guys are when they get booted.

From the postings i've read here some of us seem to have missed the boat.This is the first time in the history of Survivor that the mature contestants woke up and realized the game that needed to be played for them to survive.Both teams of younger players were intent on eliminating the older players first.Sarge and the men just got it done first and the same with scout ,Twila,Ami,Julie,LeAnnn.I am glad to see them playing the game and outlasting the younger players because the previous survivor casts have been geared to the target audience of 18-24 and full of "eye candy". Its about time the younguns got theirs! Now with the impending merge coming so much sooner than later in the show we'll have a change in group dynamics which will make everyone change alliances and form new ones with old and young to survive. Its going to soooo funny!

I was surprised because supposedly Sarge is "in charge" in the men's tribe and he wanted to keep Brady....so why didn't he tell his guys to keep Brady in since he's a good worker? None of the other "fat five" except Sarge seem to be good workers (as far as I have seen). They just don't "get it" that they are voting off the guys who can help them win challenges and avoid tribal council. Maybe they don't care though as they had 4 younger members to sacrifice before their "group" would start being eliminated. No wonder the women have been kicking their butts in challenges. Maybe the women can boot out all the men, LOL! I would love to see that!!!

It's amazing that it's taken Nine Survivors for the older, beer-gutted, guys (or gals for that matter) to realize that they need to stick together. In seasons past, it's like clockwork, you knew who was going to go the minute you seen them step off the boat. It amazes me and I find myself dumbfounded, that people are upset because the more unfit people have finally gotten a clue. Unlike some others, I'm finding this Survivor refreshing that we don't have to worry about the older group getting the boot unfairly. It's about time, we have a season where the more average Joe's and Jane's, might very well make it. Why on earth would you put Rory in charge of anything. I knew the minute he was on the stump that the men would lose. Albeit, not just from his confusing instructions, but also, because you have no indians and too many chiefs. Eliza, I must give you props. Even I knew that in order to solve the puzzle, you had to put your rows in diagonals. Edited to add: Hasn't this been the first season that there have been enough older people for this to happen?

This may be the youngest group all told, but older and younger are relative. There are still distinct differences in their ages and this is the first time the "older folks" outnumber the "younger folks." The thing that has surprised me the most is that the original alliances have lasted as long as they have. Usually after a couple of evictions, the alliances begin to fall apart. I thought for sure Rory was not long for the show. He just seems to not care if he pisses off people. Usually that would lead to an eviction. I think the older guys think that if they can get rid of the younger ones by the merge, they have a better chance later on. They really don't seem to be too concerned with winning the immunity at this point. I admit it is a little strange. Same with the older women. I get the idea that some of these people have watched the show and know how it has worked in the past. The young fit folks are kept to help win the challenges and end up evicting the older less fit folks and winning the game. Seems they are determined not to let that happen this time. It is going to be interesting when the merge happens and they are competing as individuals. There may be fewer "sure" winners than in the past. I have been very impressed with Chris. He says their leader is Sarge, but I have a feeling that he is really calling the shots. He is smart enough to know the leader has a target on his back. I am really curious as to the "twist" Jeff is about to throw at them next week. Is it an early merge, or are they going to mix up the tribes like they did once before? Could throw all their plans into a tailspin.

Nickovtyme: Eliza, I must give you props. Even I knew that in order to solve the puzzle, you had to put your rows in diagonals. Nick... I was cringing as I was watching them do that puzzle. Jeff even called out to them, "There's an easy way to do this if you figure it out!" Put all your pieces in rows, blue/green/yellow/red in horizontal rows, and teepees/fires/rocks/other symbols in vertical rows. Then shift them all over one/two/three spaces per row. Simple, really, if you look at the root of it.

I'm not sure if Chris is the leader, but he ought to know he doesn't belong. If and when he gets too close to the money, MB should just make him do another task that's about balancing. Why didn't any one call out Eliza? It was alright for her to change her mind and switched vote at the 11th hour. But Lisa is a B*tch for doing the exact same thing. Our local station had a bit about Eliza in the news after Survivor. Her Sorority sisters are all so proud of how smart and wonderful she is. Then the news caster said: even though the online poll has it that Eliza should be voted off next. I was very exited about her being on the show before the game started. But something about her prevents me to become a fan of hers. She's a go getter and all that, but she also looks scary to me... don't like her voice either. The chip on her shoulder doesn't fit her as well... I also do not see her being responsible for solving that puzzle. I'm sure most of those ladies had played that game with their children before... Well, I don't hate any of them. If Eliza can make them keep her around longer by being whatever she is, more power to her. If Chris can convince his tribemates his lazy @ss is more worthy than Rory's, so be it. But I agree with some who said earlier, this is a boring season!

Right on, Nickovtyme. I too find it amazing that this is the first ever Survivor where the old people have figured out how to stay in the game. Yay old people!!

I agree. The group of 5 men still have one non alliance member to vote off and if they lose two challenges in a row, they have Rory. I'd guess he'd be the first of the group of 5 to go unless they decide it should be Sarge. I've always felt it was a mistake to keep the stronger, fitter players untill the merge. Once it becomes individual immunity challenges, they frequently can string a couple of wins together. (Rob on Allstars) I'm interested to see how this works out. The men have 6 left and the women 7 so the next eviction should be interesting. If they mix the teams next week it's death for the minority on the losing team no matter what your original alliance.

The men are in danger. We know they are switching teams next week. 3 men will end up on a team together. That could shatter their alliance. Certainly the women are watching and, if smart, one of the older men should go before the merge no matter what.

I'd like Sarge to get on Twila's team and him try to boss her around. She has said she likes men better, but I wonder if she'll like him.

I have no problem with the older people finally figuring out that it might be a good idea to boot some of the younger ones early (instead of the other way around). That may be a good strategy. The problem I have is that I simply don't like them much (and I have cheered for many of the older players in past Survivors).

I'm enjoying this season but I don't get those butterflies in my belly like I have in past seasons. It just seems less urgent. I am loving the women, but I don't feel like I "know" the men very well.I think Chris may be the puppet-master of the men and that Sarge is a follower. I can't wait to see what the change ups will be this week!

Brady wasn't just good "eye candy." He was smart, athletic, a good worker, and the same age as some of them in the "fat five." He could have been asset in challenges and good to have a "secret" alliance with when the tribes merge. I can't believe the men are being so inept this time and it does make it boring.

I am sorry to say that I watched the the show up to the point where they did the puzzle. My twelve year old said "put it in diagonal's & it will work" I figured if it is that easy and they aren't getting it then I am going to bed early. I was asleep before the end of the show and had to come here to find out who got booted. I am normally the one to rally around this show. I have even been know to throw Survivor Parties! This year it just doesn't feel like it is worth it. Hopefully it will pick up in the next few weeks. I would hate to not have a reason to have my party this year.
