I am surprised at how upset people are about Steph swearing and telling a lie. She's certainly not the first to cave in to the pressures of this game. And, in my book, she DID vote for Angie (in the tie breaker). She just didn''t confess to Bobby Jon that she had voted for him first. She should have just left that as an omission.

I'm willing to forgive her the lie as she is in a tough situation.

I found James totally offensive and delusional. I am sooooo glad he is gone. Watched him on the Early Show and was not impressed. As a matter of fact, they didn't even have the segment when people call in. Not worth giving him more than 15 minutes I guess. (Probably afraid of what a caller might say to him!)

Not so much the lie, but the gratuitous swearing on God..

Seamonkey, I agree - it's not the lie that bothers me.

Everone was so offended when Johnny Fairplay said his grandmother died and then last season by whatshername (I'm sorry, I still don't remember) swearing on her son's name and gave the woman so much grief even after she apologized over and over again. There are some, including myself, who were bothered by what James said last night. What surprises me is it seems to be no big deal to swear more than once on God's name knowing as she was doing it (as she admitted) that it was wrong.

I'm not trying to preach - it's just an observation I've made.

Doesn't offend me at all. Swear on whatever the heck you want. If they've been watching Survivor at all they'd know better than to believe anyone just because they swore on something. Believe their actions, not their words.

And it didn't seem like anyone had ASKED her to go to that length..swearing on anything, or even swearing.. but as I said, if she makes it to final two (which I doubt) that could come back to haunt her IF Bobby Jon makes the jury (which I also doubt)..

Twila swore on her Son's name and you would have thought she crucified Jesus by the way it was characterized...as bad as the Pinky Swear on BB.

Great balls of fire...I wouldn't trust anybody on Survivor, I don't care what they swore on.

I don't care either and I don't think anyone will be struck dead. But as a strategy it sucks and it would backfire on her IF she had a prayer of making it to final two or even final 3-4 with Bobby Jon. I don't think it will be an issue but I do think it is a bad strategy.

James was great in that Morning Show video! He had a great wardrobe--has he hired his own stylist?--and he had such clever things to say. Listening to him, I would think he had that million dollar prize in his pocket right now.

Swearing to God is not something I would choose to do. I wonder if it is more common for younger folks to do this. I do notice my daughters' friends (age 8-teens) saying "Oh My God" a lot more than I've ever heard. (That is something else I do not choose to say.) I'm not sure how old Steph is but she looks and seems young to me.

Steph is a very strong player physically and mentally. I am really rooting for her. I do agree though that it's almost as if she has no chance to make it very far. She does have a good chance at winning indiv. immunity often, but so do several out there. Maybe things will be different this season and with the producers mixing it up and doing unexpected things, maybe she'll stay around awhile.

LOL Tabby! Funny post, but ot laughing all the way though, I wish you could see the jellyfish. I hope you know someone who taped it, the scene was amazing.

I do not understand why Steph tied up the vote the first time. She had to know for certain that BJ would vote to kick out James. Obviously James and Ib could not vote for themselves. Does anyone think that she voted for Ib the first time because she thought James or Ib would vote for her or BJ? Does anyone know why she voted for Ib the first time? Maybe she talked about it and I missed it? I do not understand.

I was wondering about that myself. The only thing I could figure out was that she was paranoid (and rightly she should be) that two male votes might come her way and she was going to try to force a tie. I think she trusted James more than she did Bobby John, so if it was two for Steph and two for Ibrehem, she would have forced a tie ... whereas if she would have voted for James, the two for Steph would have put her out. But, after the first vote, and she didn't get any votes, then she knew she could trust BJ's statement, and switched her vote. Frankly, as this point in the game for Ulong, with all the girls gone but her, I could not blame her for not trusting anybody.

I don't like "Oh My God" as an expression and I correct my daughter when she uses it. Just my own choice. By the way, I also don't like the use of the term "Butt." My daughter thinks I am very strange. I kind of enjoy that! I am kind of strange.

Would "buttocks" be okay?

The goat butted?

Cats head-butting?

Target/butt of a joke?

Butting in?

a butt joint or hinge?

And others.. I just love words so had to go look up Butt :-)

My mom was kind of strange and I think she enjoyed it too. And often I enjoyed it. Better than totally boring!

Happymom/Alaginger - I was wondering about why Steph went for the initial tie too. My thought was similar to Alaginger's, but I also watched and BJ did not seem surprised at the initial tie, so I'm thinking they planned it that way, or that they both knew it would go down that way at first.

So much of the conversations about TC and who is getting voted out aren't shown. My guess is that most teams know who is going every time, but we are the only ones kept in the dark.

It was time for James to go. He single handedly screwed up their chances THREE separate times.

WHO would want a shower beside a stinking outside outhouse?? He bossily told everyone he knew what he was doing.

WHO spent the comp against Koby floundering around on his back instead of standing up and using his feet to push and stay stable??

Who couldnt make ONE SHOT in the tile comp even though he Swore he was good with guns?? Who didnt even lower his head down to look thru the sights?? Watch the tape again, I was amazed.

Worst of all, who told everyone that HE WAS IN CHARGE of the knots and since he was in the navy he knew a special knot?

Three small handed exhausted woman just pulled it right apart!! I thought he said something about the knot tightening as you tried to pull at it??? What a HUGE error!! Even then, when he had time to reinforce the knot He spent the extra time fiddling around with his skirt!

Bad judgement, bad record, didnt deserve to continue in the game. Frankly, angie shouldnt have gone last week, it should have been James.

i always said, "cheese and rice got all muddy"...but then i thought 'onward christian soldiers' was 'on her twisted shoulders' and was about a little crippled girl.....

my husband's elderly aunt always cracked us up because she lived near richmond, california where san pablo dam road is a major thoroughfare...like 'national lampoon's vegas vacation', aunt ida just said the 'dam road' when giving instructions. my kids were little and i'd hear them whisper, "aunt ida said, 'damn road'!" it was so funny to hear this timid octogenarian say, "take the dam road for about a mile", "turn left after about a mile on the dam road", or "they're working on the dam road again", etc.
