I was said to see Bobby Jon go and but at the same time happy to see Steph still there. I know it's how the game goes but I get fusterated that the women on Koror have made it this far on doing nothing - most of them haven't competed in a challenge in forever and then you see Steph and Bobby Jon who have been the strongest competitors (minus Tom & Ian)who get sent packing. GO STEPH.

The water thing had me cracking up - again you think you are a survivor yet your complaining about not using fresh water for a shower when you should want to drink it/cook with it. Glad Tom was so smart. Did Jenn think if she took a shower Gregg would cuddle her more??? (sorry couldn't resist).

Happy to see Tom and Ian had alliance with Steph but sick to here they have one with Katie too - hope this doesn't turn into another Amber - don't do anything all season but ride the coattails and then win.


I think the Ultimate Survivor would be that each person competes individually for immunity from the start and the bottom three of each challenge are the only ones you can vote for until you get to the jury then they return to how it is now - that way you avoid them voting the stronger ones off to eliminate competition and hopefully at the end you'd see the strongest survivor - not the laziest cute girl who latched on to the Alpha Male from day 1.

I agree with Tom's "water" decision. The 55 gallons of fresh clean drinking water would last much much longer than everyone getting a 3 minute shower that would make the person feel clean for about another 3 minutes.

It just made sense, and I don't blame Tom for being "pushy" about it. It benefited EVERYONE, not just Tom and the tribemembers who opposed it were only thinking of themselves and their individual need to shower.

I also think Steph should win. She has proved herself to be the ultimate survivor by surviving the demise of her own tribe. But unfortunately, her strength and quiet determination may not go over real well with the pampered princesses at Koror and I believe it will be the Koror women who will campaign against her and get her booted.

The shower thing was hilarious! Of course they should safe the fresh water for drinking. 8 people taking very short showers would pretty much use it up. They should wash off in the ocean and have someone pour some cooled boiled water on them to rinse off.

I think that Tom was absolutely right about the water, but in terms of game play it may have been a bad move. Still, the idea of using that water for eight people to take showers just doesn’t make sense. They would go through it in no time. Plus they have the whole ocean to swim in there and yes it is nice and salty and it does keep you clean. And, Tom does a huge amount around camp including catching a lot of the food and was hugely instrumental in many of their wins. Most of the others have had it pretty easy. But do they want to listen to him or give him any credit – no of course not.

I’m cheering for Stephanie!!! Go Steph!

I agree with Tom. He has a point, but it's not making him popular with the others.

I agree about Stephanie. She's a great player.

I was surprised that saving the fresh water for drinking was such an issue at Koror. Winning all of the challenges has spoiled the tribe. Once Stephanie is gone, Koror is in for a big surprise when the game is finally on for them

Wasn't the water in a metal drum? I know it was fresh when they stuck it up there, but will it stay fresh in a metal drum sitting in that heat all day? They have to take the shower spigot off to get the water to run out and fill up their canteens. If someone sticks a dirty finger up there to hold back the water till they put the spigot back on won't that contaminate the water?

Something else I noticed that I think is a little ironic. When Bobby John and Stephanie made their fires, Bobby John set out to make his as if he was making a real fire back at camp without matches. He lit the moss first and then put the wood on top of the moss. Stephanie did the opposite of what you would do if you were really building the campfire. She put down the wood first then put the moss on top. By doing that Stephanie actually gave herself an advantage because the flaming moss was raised up higher and even if it was supposed to be a fire building challenge, you didn't have to actually catch the wood on fire to get the torch lit.

I really felt sorry for Bobby John because I don't think it was any smart plan on Stephanie's part - it was all dumb luck. A fitting ending for Ulong, I think, though.

I think it would be cool to see Stephanie go head-to-head each week as a single Ulong member. Her competitiveness could probably force a few losses on Koror. Especially if Koror was smart enough to lose, so they could the dead weight people off. Just my imagination running wild here.

I was sad to see Bobby Jon go. I have to say he seemed so nice and soft-spoken and sweet. Well, except for the snot-rockets. But yeah, it's too bad HE'S gone rather than some of the women of Koror.

Coby makes me laugh.

How did Tom have a chance to make an alliance with Stephanie? Did I miss something? I'm glad that she has someone over on Koror that will keep her in the game now, but I just don't remember how it happened?

Back on the very first show... before the tribes were picked...everyone spent a night together on the beach...

I think the alliance was made then.

BTW...How you doing RG?

It was mentioned that the alliance between Tom, Ian, Steph, and Katie was made on day 2.

I am so curious as to what will happen now. I wonder if she wins the next reward comp. if she'll get to pick a Koror member to be on Ulong with her. I am so glad she has a camera person with her. I also wondered about the boat, but the scenes showed her back at her own camp so I guess she made it there ok. She really makes it almost everything look so easy! Is she the girl who jumped off the boat to swim to shore in the first show? I think she is. I have a much different impression of her now than I did then.

I didn't think Jeff was being negative with any of his comments about BJ or Steph. It was not his decision to send Steph back to camp alone.

I went and checked the post for the first show this season - Stephenie did jump in the water with Jonathan and try to swim to shore.

Something tells me that Stephanie has more than a cameraman with her. I think she has an entire production crew! There's probably a rule about not talking or interacting with her though.

That's interesting that she was the one who dived in. That was a mistake but I still think she is a great Survivor player.

I agree with those of you who think that Tom made the right decision about saving the 55 gallons of water for drinking. Probably only a select few of the tribe members would have had the opportunity to shower before the water was gone. More importantly, the well water that they use may be slightly brackish. This is quite common on islands that depend on fresh water from runoff. However there can be salt water intrusion making that fresh water slightly brackish. The taste is not too good, but it keeps you from becoming dehyrated.

I was really curious about the 'secret alliance' between Tom, Ian, Katie and Stephanie so I went back and watched the first episode again. It was great watching it again, this far into the season. My opinions about the survivors have changed! I remember thinking that Stephanie was pretty silly to jump in so early and thought she'd be one of the first to go - boy, but my opinion of her has changed.

Also, did anyone else get annoyed with the CBS ad about the 'secret alliance' with the included picture of Coby looking surprised and the "Whaaaat?" voiced in? I, of course, didn't know until watching last nights episode that the "Whaaaat?" was voiced in. I thought the 'secret alliance' wasn't so secret anymore due to a slip up by Ian. Those dastardly editors at CBS!

Hopefully, individual immunity starts next week and those Koror women will actually have to do something.

They have a water source that has been keeping them hydrated everyday, they are catching food and are strong. I think it would have been a great moral booster to get clean.

They are approaching a difficult time when their team will split. I think Tom is taking the physical survival aspect to a level it need not be.

It would be easy to get clean and still have some left over. Get wet in the ocean, soap up and use the fresh water to rinse. What none of them know is that you can bathe in salt water with soap and shampoo and feel very clean, oddly enough. They would have to keep the soap out of the ocean, of course, by using buckets full and dousing themselves.

My parents retired on a sail boat and I did just that many times, visiting, when they were anchored off shore.

If Steph doesn't win the whole thing...she will make the jury, right.

sheesh, I ask the questions the night before and it takes forever to get an answer. ;D

Yes she makes jury duty if she is not final 2.

There are 9 people left.

I for one am glad Bobby Jon is gone. Bobby Jon stuffing all the eggs in his mouth was not very smart. It's always best to eat as fast as possible taking smaller bites so it's easier to swallow. He did not think it through well enough, he probably thought he could just slam them down.

I wouldn't mind seeing Steph go up against any of the females on Koror for immunity challenge or food/luxury item. That's only if losing a challenge to Steph would mean that Koror would have to vote someone out.

I may be way over confident about Steph's ability. (I hope not!!) She's my fav now, it used to be Rufus and Sandra. Oh, I still like them but they didn't have to suffer defeat so often.
