I've just finished watching my tape of last night's episode. Oh my word. How long am I going to have to listen to that broken record of "My team sucks, woe is me" from Steph? EVERY WEEK I have to sit through at least 15 minutes of TV time, devoted to HER and how much she hates her team, and she is HANDED a team of losers. Ugh!! I want her to keep losing and losing and losing. I want her to spend another night by herself at a camp, when all of her tribe mates have been voted off, and she wins a fire challenge. I haven't liked Brian in the past, as I thought he was a bit too much of a nelly. But I respect how he manipulated Blake to continually tell stories, and annoy the tribe. NT - Brian didn't say "Amen" he said "Thanks" or "Thank you" when all the prayers ended. I feel bad that Brian has to worship something he doesn't stand behind. Tish, I think that if a Jewish person was on Survivor, they would be respected for abstaining from Christian prayer, moreso than a person who is "without" any religion, like Brian. It seems that agnostic people are more "evil" than people with different religions. You mom can rest assured you wouldn't be voted out for standing your Jewish ground. Luvmom - ITA about Brian reminding me of Emmett.

Did Brian say he did not believe in God at all? I thought he only said he was not a religious person. For me personally I have always believed in God but for many years I was not a "religous" person as I did not attend church, pray as I should, read my Bible, etc.

My DS asked last night when Brian was making that comment about playing along with the prayer, "What if you're Jewish?" I told him I doubt people would have expected a Jewish person to pray in Jesus name. At least I hope not. They're there to play Survivor, not evangelize. We've been watching the old Survivors on OLN and this past week they started Marequesas(sp?!) My DH and I had to laugh at Boston Rob as he was talking about the two guys who were screaming in the water about Jesus and then the OTHER GUY went on to talk about all these "holes" and Rob said at first he thought he was talking about something spiritual but he was actually talking about body holes! LOL I never saw that one before and I was really disappointed they voted off the guy Hunter who was a retired Airforce pilot and was really the best around camp. I see a "pagong" going for them! They voted off 2 in shape guys who worked. Now they got these lazy people laying around. Hmmmmmmmmmm.... Well, at least I know Rob doesn't win. LOL The woman on Africa who kept talking about "Mother Africa" and the spirits and all that drove my DH nuts! He hates when people get all "deep" about the game and environment. Although I must say on the Outback it WAS touching when they all became aware of the land after all they had endured, esp. after their camp was washed away. I don't know, somehow, there was just a difference in the type of "awe" they were expressing.

Native - I've been that way on and off at different times in my life. I might not be what people would call "religious" but I have never not been a believer.

I think it would have been perfectly acceptable for him to stand back during the prayer. I know he's not religious but doesn't participating in something you don't believe in just as bad? I understand his reasoning about the game...but I feel he would be respected more if he stood up for himself in that regard. Judd keeps digging himself into a hole and will soon swallow him up. But geez! Keep Blake for one more week and vote him next! When you still have the numbers...just like Howie...understand the numbers!

If he doesn't participate in the prayer, it would be a symbol of is "lack of team unity" or something...especially if it came down to him or "golden boy." All these games [Survivor, Apprentice, BB] require hegemony like that.

I thought he did indeed say "Amen" at the end of the prayer, as it surprised me. He is annoying though and he and Steph should double bag it next week! You like Rafe, Pamy.

I thought Lydia rocked when she got up in the morning and was dancing and singing and trying to get everyone fired up and ready for the day. They really need her as their team cheerleader. I hope she sticks around, I think she works hard and she deserves to be there. Stephs whining about losing is getting annoying but she does pull her weight. that dang nurse, margaret, gets on my nerves and I love Judd for some reason. Maybe it is only cause he's from Jersey and I am a Jersey girl

I love Judd too. Everyone gets on him for switching sides, but look at his options! He could have voted off Jamie and Steph (two strong people for challenges), but then he'd be stuck with lame-o's like Margaret and Brooke. I would have switched on those people too! Despite my disdain for Lydia's hair, I can relate to her need to label her dance moves. I think I have a dance move in my repetoire that is very similar, although being up in Canada, I call it the crepe. I look just as foolish though.

Well, Steph's team won immunity this week, so you probably won't have to hear that for a while. Spoiler Click below to view spoiler | I hear next week is a double eviction...both tribes voting out a member. Interesting to see who they are. | ModND Lydia's dance made me cringe. Margaret is a natural leader, but the others won't recognize that...therefore she's a target. The preview for next week shows Bobby Jon and Jamie getting into it verbally...of course, they can't strike one another or their out of the game immediately...should be a fun episode next week...

Lycan - I think that I remember either Jamie or BJ saying there was a Georgia/Alabama rivalry of some sort, so maybe they get in each other's faces a bit during a one on one competition. Seriously, I'm tired of the 14 millisecond clips that they use to make things look more dramatic than things are. Like the alligator story, that showed someone pulling their leg out of the water, only for it to have been a fish that nipped at him. There's no story between BJ and Jamie. It'll end up being nothing, as always. How do you know there is a double eviction? I'm excited for that!!

Yep, I bet EEyore is right. I bet Jamie and BJ are doing that "getting in each others face" thing cuz they are playing around and not actually fighting...

"...but doesn't participating in something you don't believe in just as bad?" I don't think participating in something you don't believe in, is "bad". In many circumstances, going along to get along is actually a nice thing to do, as it can promote harmony and create good will. What's really bad is going along with, or participating in, something you feel is out and out WRONG. Now that would be hypocritical... I don't think Brian thinks religion is WRONG, he just doesn't choose it for himself... so this time, he's going along to get along... smart move. I actually enjoyed Lydia's dancing and clowing around...I remember saying out loud..FINALLY someone is enjoying themselves a bit and trying to lighten the mood some!! Sheesh...what a somber season!

I don't care for Brian and don't care if he prays with the rest or not. True Christians who pray in everyday life will want to do it in the Guatemala jungle also and won't be offended if someone doesn't participate. Brian appears almost paranoid about his homosexuality (demonstrated by his remark that if he gets voted out it would be because he is a member of a minority) and doesn't want what he perceives as another strike against him. Most Christians are tolerant people. The crazies who tell everybody who don't agree with them that they are going to hell are the ones the media gives all the attention to. Christians have as much right to be themselves as gays do but don't seem to get much sympathy these days. If Brian eventually gets voted out , it will be for other reasons than being gay.

Oh...okay...when he said 'minority' I thought it meant he was one of the other team who was transplanted and in the minority...

Gotta love the Drah-Man, but unfortunately it isn't working for me. Wonder why? ETA Drah must be rubbing off on me a little. Just realised that it may be because I am using Firefox. It does work - on IE! Thanks, Rupert and Drah! Now I can go play Cooki's game.LOL

You don't have to click on them ... just hover the mouse over the pic. This is great .. because I'm betting in the next week or two there will be another switch...and I'm also betting that Stephanie (with her luck) will be once again on the "weakest" team!

When Lydia started singing and dancing etc it reminded me of that lady(whose name escapes me now) started singing on the boat to shore and was immediately not picked due to that. But hey I love how Lydia pepped up her tribe and they won the immunity. I would be sorry to see her voted off soon, she makes that tribe more appealing and interesting.

Hmmm, maybe that is what Brian meant by "minority." Makes sense doesn't it. I still don't know why he thinks he should fake praying if he really doesn't want to do it.

Isn't that funny, Aussie...I never even thought about Wanda w/Lydia. Maybe because she's been around long enough to "prove her worth" -- but I think it's morebecause she hadn't already written the songs! LOL She was just dancing and being goofy to pep up the team; she hadn't come with an arsenal of songs with which to "regale" her tribe. (Unfortunately, I think she was hoping to be the next "Sonja" from Survivor I --with the ukelele-- but never stood a chance because she was too annoying.)

I think watching someone "goofy dance" as opposed to hearing someone sing and hurt your ears (LOL) are two different things! I watched my tape again last night and Brian did say "Amen" and then "Thank you." No biggie. I think lots of people bow their heads or whatever and may not feel the need to pray all the time like others do, but if they do, they'll join in and be respectful. I just don't like Brian plain and simple! They may regret how they voted when it comes to strength in competitions this early in the game. Time will tell! I really don't like the farmer either. I find a lot of the players on the annoying side or just not moving me to support them for some reason.

I thought Lydia was just trying to lighten the mood, that's all. So what if she's being a bit silly -- you need to keep yourself entertained out there, and she's trying to do it for everyone. No harm in that.

Word is ... they will regret voting out their strength. And, even if someone is obnoxious and likes to talk about themselves, is that a reason to vote them out? Why not keep the obnoxious people for a bit, especially if they're strong? And also leaving one of the other (probably toughest) guys (Brandon) out on a limb by that vote? Not smart. And Gary, for one, saying he doesn't want to keep someone here who doesn't deserve it?!? The lying ex-quarterback?!? Talk about hypocrite, but he played the game and played both Dani and BJ. But, as Blake said, it got uglier once he left so they will reap what they sow. As Shi-Ann says "Stupid, Stupid People"!

I think Brian did right to fake pray....He does not know if they are the good type that will respect that he is of different beliefs or if they are the bad type and will look down on him for not being their religion. Religion is a powerful subject and i would not cause waves in a game for a million dollars...Now outside of the game i would have a different opinion...
