Another hottie. Hope he doesn't frighten people with his physical capabilities.

He's from my neck of the woods, so I'll be on his side unless he does something really stupid. Colby represented well, so he's got some big shoes to fill...

Why him? He looked devastated. That was just plain mean.

I don't understand why he didn't get picked, but I wasn't out there, so I can't judge.

I guess it was because he jumped off the boat first.

If I had been the girl making that decision between Willard and him, I probably would have sent him home, too. I just wouldn't have had the heart to send the old guy packing in a game that's almost always dominated by the tough-young-pretty folk. And the jumping off the boat first was a good excuse -- how arrogant do you have to be to assume that you can swim a mile faster than 18 people can paddle?

Coby was the one who went around to everyone and suggested they vote Jonathan off. I wish Jonathan had been able to stay and play the game and Coby was gone instead!

Glad he's gone. All too often, this game is dominated by the young bucks. Sorry, I'm sure he's a nice guy, but I'd much rather see Willard in here than Jonathan.

Why???? That's just cruel of the show's producers to have him go through all the interview process and then not be given a chance in the game.

I'm sure that many other people went through all the interview process, and they didn't get a chance either. It's a game, and sometimes the first move of a game determines that a player is out. Life is like that; it can be cruel.

I felt bad for them, but I can't help wondering if they'll somehow remain involved. Jeff said they should never get too comfortable and that they'll be reminded of that- I wonder if there will be something that lets them have some power over those remaining in the game or something. Like a payback for not picking them. I just kept saying I would NOT want to be the last one who decides one who stays and one who goes. I do think they picked the right people at the end (given the four remaining).

Starshine, that's what I remember too. I thought at the time, maybe Coby found Jon too attractive and would end up being a distraction for him. I understand the reason behind picking the tribe members this way, because right off the bad it creates a kind of "indebtedness" between certain players. I actually like ALL the contestants so far, so I would have been sad no matter who got left behind. I would have liked to see Jon play the game, but I can't think of anyone I would have gone in his stead...*sighs*

I didn't like how entitled Jon thought he was. "I thought I'd get picked sooner," he said. Well, sorry, he should have assumed he was just as much at risk as everyone else--because he was. His assumption of superiority would have been too tedious to watch. I'm glad we had Willard.
