I don't think it's boring at all. I think it's neat (and unprecedented) to have one tribe completely annihalate the other. It would provide an interesting dynamic after the merge to have one tribe and a split rather than two distinct tribes where one picks off the other.

Padivius, I was thinking the same thing. It would be cool if Ulong would be broken into 2 random teams. Colby doesn't seem to be diggin the "girls". If he was split onto a tribe with the girls he'll have to do some fancy footwork. I realized there isn't anyone this year that I really dislike. I LOL when I realized Richard was out done in the Survivor Shark competetion. Richard must be steaming...LOL.

I told ya that Ulong would not give the producers a chance for a merge. Once it got down to 5 then 4 then 3...the producers decided to let Ulong commit Tribal Genocide. Tom's shark was bigger than BJ's little fish he was so proud of. Ulong = Worst Tribe Evuh!

No one on Ulong ever wanted to step up and inspire, lead or champion the tribe except for Jolanda…she was voted off first, right? Given that, and the fact that the other tribe has both Tom and Ian well it ain’t purdy. Steph didn’t give Bobby a chance to give direction in solving the puzzle...did anyone notice that besides me? Tom seems to realize he’s a target. IF Koror does split it would be interesting to see Tom and Ian split up. I keep having the feeling that Coby is going to be a major factor in this game.

Pamy, I agree. I've been feeling it for a while, but tonight's show stopped being entertaining and started being sad. When they lost the reward challenge, it was more than I could find fun to watch.

Yeah, I noticed Steph was giving direction from the water, but it wasn't clear if she was making it more difficult for him, or she just realised he didn't know what to do next. It was really his responsibility to either ignore her or tell her to be quiet if she wasn't being helpful. To me it looked like he froze up there. Very sad, I didn't really want any of them to go. My bet is they won't be merged, they'll have to evict one more person (if they lose the immunity challenge) and then the remaining person will join Koror, and possibly be voted off next tribal. If they left one person by themselves they might go a little bit batty!

I was stunned that Steph was not the director. She is the smartest one of the group and certianly the water part of this challenge was not difficult. This is proving to be an interesting season. I feel badly for Ulong but I am enjoying the dramatic change.

This was the first week I felt sad for Ulong and it really was hard to watch them after losing the Reward Challenge. There were so many times I just wanted to give Bobby Jon a big hug for consolation. His comment about Koror probably working "smarter" on the reward challenge was just heart-wrenching for me. I think that up until this week, Ulong always had someone I didn't like(Jeff, Kim, James), so I just wasn't feeling the sympathy.

I know I felt for them last night too - but this is an interesting twist. Wonder how it'll work if Ulong goes to TC again with only 2 members...? Eeek.

Well finally it seems like we get a season with no merge. I wonder if when the powers that be pick the teams do they use their psych profiles? Cause that would kinda tell you how people would get along or not. The Ulong team was just a bad group from the get go and I wonder if the powers planned it that way.

I don't think it's boring but I feel bad for Steph and Bobbie John they have been the rock of that team through it all and it's sad but even with a merge they wouldn't make it very far - they are probably better off the way they are right now! I will be so sad to see Bobbie John go - he is too cute.

I would think they would have to merge. It won't be that exciting watching 2 ppl from each team compete in challenges for the next few weeks(assuming Steph/BJ won one)

Haven't they always merged at 10 remaining survivors?? So now there is 10.......so this will be when they merge? Also, survivors aren't allowed to vote for themselves......so Steph would have to vote for BJ and vice versa. So IF they don't merge (which I think they will).....most likely it would be "pick a rock" tie breaker?

The purple rock tiebreaker is not written in stone. (no pun intended) They could stage a challenge at TC between BJ and Stehanie to see who moves to the other team.

But no matter what, don't you think they are both goners?

Sure. I dont think either will make it to the final 4 but you just don't know what will happen when one or both merge. Coby's side may snap one up to have a stronger voting block. One or both could prove to be valuable for awhile anyway.

This really is becoming very painful to watch. My heart absolutely breaks every time Ulong comes so close in a challenge... but yet so far away. Everyone this year seems so likeable. Its not like there is a team out there where I don't like anyone on it and I don't care whether or not they get picked off. I guess its kinda hard to say how I'm feeling about Ulong. I didn't dislike any of the tribe members and its just so.... (((sigh))))

Needless to say, my wife's interest in the show after seeing yet another Ulong tribesperson get axed has decreased dramatically. I myself see no fun in the direction this season has gone. Their rules on rotation with challenges needs to be revamped so the weaker ones are exposed and the more dominant team doesn't have such an edge.

Koror has been using their weaker people in the challenges. Tom has sat out the last 3 challenges. Ian and Gregg sat out 2 of the last 3. Didn't someone make a point last night that since Koror has to rotate players for the challenges, their players are better rested? All the Ulong people have to do all the camp work, then compete in every challenge. Koror has more people to divide the work among(although, I guess for some things there'd be more work to do...they'd need more water and more food, for example) and they don't have to have every person participate in every challenge.

I have a quick question for all you Survivor experts. Is it true that Ulong has only won one challenge the entire season? That being the jellyfish lake RC?

No, they've won a few reward challenges. They won the "Gauntlet Dash" challenge in ep 2(the reward was fishing gear) and the ring toss/grab challenge in ep 3(reward was the sewing kit). So, 3 reward challenges overall, just no immunities.

Every time they show Stephanie there is a snake image. She's the sneak in the show! I didn't like seeing Ib go. They really didn't focus on him, either. We really didn't get to know him.
