But are we sure they would have used a rock for the tie-breaker? So, they kill snakes to eat...highly venimous snakes at that. (Banded Sea-Crates are some of the more venomous snakes in the world), then use them as bait for sharks...hmmm...they didn't get the sharks or the snakes...wonder what they did eat. Call me crazy, but there's something about the way Angie's underwear fits her that I find distracting. Then she had to go and cover it all up. Why does Ulong choke every time at the immunity challenge...they can do the rewards, but not the IC. They were right in getting rid of Jeff...not only did he become a liability, it gets rid of the Romber wannabee's. So far not a to shabby Survivor season.

I was wondering if they can't vote for themselves and that's why Jeff voted for James. He didn't want to vote for his "friend" Kim and also risk that she got voted off, so he just threw in a vote for someone else to make sure he had more votes. Does anyone know if they aren't allowed to vote for themselves? The girl who was voted off last week also just voted for someone else out of the blue.

I loved both challenges!! There are many levels to them--not just physical--the strategy involved as well. The reward challenge was a great example of Angie using an approach that helped a lot--distract the opponent! The IC--when to have someone get out--not too soon, but not so late that they hinder the team. Sprinting in the shallows--trading times to carry a number of packs. I love the game the challenges created on a number of different levels. And talk about wearing a person out--especially the IC! While I don't think Tom single handedly won the challenge for him, I will say his determination, his will to succeed spread to his team mates. And Stephenie hanging in there so well--she far and away also swam better by far in the reward challenge. Heck, she could have thrown the ring to her raft and swam to it faster.

I'm finding this season to be much more exciting than the past several! Survivor 1 and 2 are my all time favorites! The only flaw of this season, IMHO, is that more and more people "wanna go home:-(" Wanda and Jonathan would love, love, love to have their chance to play!

So far I've really developed a liking for Tom and Bobby Jon (who actually seems to have something going on in that pretty head of his). Also, Greg has been getting very little screen time but he always seems to be involved in winning the major challenges. Makes me think he will go far into the game. If James is the guy with the sundial in the middle of his face, I don't care for him at all. I can't quite figure out if they're trying to promote him as a Rupert-type down-home good guy, or this season's version of Johnny Fairplay. Ian is the Clay Aiken of Survivor - all kinds of talent and likeability under that dorkish exterior. PS I would rather they had kicked off Kim than Jeff last night. Why was Angie so firmly in Kim's camp? I can't see Kim ever giving Angie an ounce of consideration. Maybe it's another (YAWN) girl-alliance thing.

Lance, you're so right about the challenges so far ... they are reallly well thought out and interesting to watch. And involve strategy as well as physical effort. I'm loving it!

That wasn't a smart decision to keep Kim over Jeff. They are already losing key physical comps and they will continue to do so with that mentality.

I would've kept Jeff, not Kim, because even with his mangled (probably sprained, not broken) ankle he's more of a competitor/contributor to the tribe than she's been. imho, the IC was tailor-made for Tom - as a firefighter he is expected to be able to carry a large amount of weight and maneuver with it. He, Ian, and Greg make a heckuva team - would hate to see them separated. Angie - what can I say about Angie? Oh, I know - put something on? I think I would've given her the danged life ring just to keep her nakedness off of me...lol (Would someone tell me how it is she has no clothes? Missed first half of the first episode...thanks in advance.) Bobby John, I think you're crazy...like a fox. I agree that it would get boring just laying around. Do either of the tribes have shelter yet? I understand about trying to save energy, but I'm the type of person that has even less energy if I've laid around all day. as usual, the preceeding is just my opinion, and in no way reflects the opinions of others...lol

If you listen to the Survivor Live show, it was a good thing they let Jeff go. He already had bone fragments in his ankle and when he stepped on the coconut injured it further. There would have been no way he would have been helpful in the challenges, let alone be able to even walk on it. He said it had already been decided by the tribe that Kim would not go underwater in that challenge. Reason being she had contacts on and she could not see anything. She was supposed to just keep the rope taut. I'm tired of seeing Angie's butt through her underwear too. These people should know they are going to lose their clothes. Bring some normal underwear. Leave the darn bikinis and thongs at home!

Dh made a good observation on the ring challenge. Why didn't the better swimmer just go out to the ring, bait the other player to coming at them, and then just toss the ring back over toward their raft? If they have already proven to be the better swimmer, just take your chances again? was there a rule against tossing the ring? and again, when they had four people out there, just have one player stay close to the raft, and toss it over to them - risky yes, but no more risky than letting someone try to drown you.

I don't think that Angie was just trying to save Kim, Goddess. I think that Angie was worried that Bobby John and Jeff had an alliance. Last week when she was trying to get him to vote off Jeff she told Bobby John that she thought Kim and Jeff were a threat because they were a couple alliance and Bobby John told her that he didn't see them together as being any threat. The look on Angie's face was disbelief. I know I thought right then, yeah, you don't think it's a threat because you are in an alliance with Jeff and I bet that Angie thought that, too. Also with Jeff gone, the team will have to rely on Angie's strength more. I think Angie was just trying to bust an alliance before it bit her in the butt. I was freaking amazed at how long Stephanie stayed in that challenge. She is a strong woman!

I also wondered if Angie wanted to keep Kim over Jeff, because she knows that Kim would still be next on the chopping block. If Kim had been voted off, Jeff had healed and Ulong went to tribal council again, Angie might have been the low person on the totem pole. Getting rid of Jeff now and keeping Kim should ensure at least another week for her.

Azriel and Cdbga both give a slant I hadn't even thought of on why Angie would want to see Jeff gone and Kim staying on.

I think that Kim is being rather savvy. I don't believe she voted for Jeff "because he wanted to go." She knew they were both up for being voted off and she wanted to stay. Right now I want Bobby John to stay on the most because he is cute and works hard.

Remember that Jeff is a personal trainer. These guys know the body pretty well. He seemed sure his ankle was not going to get better. If he already had bone fragments in his ankle, he could have caused a permanent injury. He probably was very aware of that. Otherwise, he would have wanted to stay as long as possible with the hope he would get better, team player or not. As much as I hated to see him go, I think he did the wise thing. I am liking Bobby Jon more and more. I like his work ethic, his humor, and his smarts. His looks don't hurt either. Remember in the past when we have talked about how as they get scruffier, the men get better looking? Well, Bobby Jon is getting seriously good looking as he gets scruffy.

Allietex, I agree with you about Bobby Jon. He was too pretty to begin with and did nothing for me. He's looking much better as he gets scruffier.

Put me on the Bobby Jon bandwagon, too! Allie, I too always find the Survivor men better looking as they get scruffier. What I find funny about that, though, is that exactly the opposite is true in real life. I love clean-cut well-dressed men in person..but put them on an island and I like 'em scruffy!

If they keep voting like they have they'll have everyone who's name begins with a "J" off of the island! (LOL! Almost looks like they said "we have too many "J's" here! .... It was a predominant letter! Hee hee hee!)
