You know I don't blame Cirie and the other 'older' women for voting off Tina. She was just way too full of herself at tribal council and if she acted like that there, then how much was she crowing about herself back at camp that we didn't see? I think all the women resented Tina's attitude and Tina did herself in with it. I really like all of the three 'older' women that are left and I think they will work well together. I hope they kick butt!

HI all new here. Have been reading for a while but decided to join in to discuss matters. I don't think the idol is in the water. Panama is very rainy. The first sign of rain(Panama has lots of rain) and I would of dumped out the undrinkable water and catxh rain water by finding something to direct the water to run off off of and catch it in the bucket for later drinking. I would also of tried to check out that big skull to see if I could of crawled inside to get out of the rain. Maybe she did and we just didn't see it. As for voting Tina off only time will tell if it was a good move. I do like the idea of allowing the contestants to making aliences and changing it quickly. The alliance thing has started to many highschool peer groups in the last cople of shows. It becomes a pecking order and gets old after a while. Let them think when will it change again. I would also try to always sneak the flint in my pocket before going to a reward challenge. This way if I go to exile I could start a fire. If I don't go I replace it when we get back to camp.

I can't imagine the II is in the water barrel either. Who wouldn't take a look in there? Too easy. I wanted Tina to stay, but I found myself liking Cirie, too. I would have preferred one of the young men going, LOL!

Freetimefinally, I agree that the pecking order thing was getting too predictable. They have to try new stuff. In the past some ideas have worked and some haven't. As to Misti sneaking a flint, her losing team had no flint to steal did they? I am thinking if Cirie stays we will hope she can find a creative was to wear her buff. A couple of them look a little sun blistered. I guess we will get to see them peel next.

What if the idol is in a tree? They put the idol in the tree last time. I really like Cirie, too.

Az, I agree with you on how annoying Tina actually was.. according to clips on the Early Show, everything had to be done Tina's way, and she was loud. And Cirie was showing excellent survival skills by initiating discussions about booting Tina; had she remained passive it would have likely been her going home. LOL! Cirie needs an industrial strength buff; I think we are doomed to blurs while she's around but at least her pants stay on, unlike certain men in past seasons.. Freetime, welcome to posting! Have fun! I would have preferred to see the chain smoker booted and returned to his habit.. The idol could also be set up to blend in with some of the rock formations. The should have checked to see if the deceased turtle was edible.. this is survivor, after all.. and the shell might have made a good bowl. Of course I guess it was found by the fire-challenged younger women..

After seeing the Early Show segments, I'll allow myself to warm up to Cirie a little more. I totally understand how it feels to have someone just decide nothing you have to say is worth listening to and shut you off before you can finish a sentence. Then of course, they later have this "great idea" that was what you were just talking about. Been there/done that more times than I can count. Sometimes I think its the story of my life. LOL. And I'd probably have something else in common with her if I tried to wear a bikini top and run around in the water too.....<blush> And Tina was even loud on the ES interview. One of those naturally loud voices. Must come from being outdoors and having to talk above the noise of the lumberjack stuff or something. She definitely didn't have an "indoor voice.

I really liked the show. It feels fresh new and different to me. Part of that could be coming from reading about Jeff before the season started, he really liked these survivors and this season. I am a bit disappointed that they will go back to the two team concept so soon. I like Cirie. I liked Tina too until she in a poor sportsmanship way said she hopes the other three do terribly or something like that. I watched it again on my dvr last night, 2 of my kids and husband didn't get to see it on Thurs., Jeff didn't use the word "behind" on camera, so I think Misty may have been a bit off on what she thought was Jeff's clue. Maybe he used the word behind off camera...but I think they would have shown that. He said something like left here, but he did not use the word behind. I don't think she has it. I like Misty. By herself she seems younger and vulnerable. When she was around other, she stood up straighter etc. and talked so confidently. She can just tell her group that she was trying to make the other 3 tribes think she had the idol...that would be the smarter thing if she didn't find it. Starting off lying in this game isn't a great strategy, imo. I like the younger ladies saying the one did the challenge and shouldn't have to be exiled. I also liked that they did rock paper scissors to make it fair. I don't like that they were so indecisive about a shelter, but I don't think they are all necessarily like that. I think if $1 million wasn't at stake, it would have gone differently. Many times on this show, the strongest leaders have gone early. I don't like Shane much. I realize we are not seeing his true self. Jeff sure seemed to like him and think the audience will (based on his pre Thursday comments), that makes me think he'll be around for awhile. My youngest thinks the older guy in the Hawaiian shirt looks like the immunity idol! I found the conversation the astronaut had with the fighter pilot annoying, not so much the pilot as the astronaut annoyed me, it seemed so braggy to me. I didn't get the impression that the fighter pilot thought it was braggy though. I do think it is great that he was on the space shuttle. I think that is something to be so proud of. But in the early days of this game, it bugged me. I think I liked Gary football player's strategy better (to keep that to himself).

So why is flying in the space shuttle so much more of a threat (and why a secret?) than if he just worked on the space shuttle?

Did anyone watch Survivor Live on the CBS site? Everyone was surprsied that Tina was the first to go. Dalton Ross the host and Jeff P predicted she would go far when this series started. All Tina could say was that she must have been seen as a threat by the other women, and she was not happy to be on a team of older women.

Chain smoker idea. He may soon be finding some tobacco substitute plants out there. At least it would calm his nerves. I don't remember there being any others in the past who said they smoked.

Ack, Pamy and Spygirl, I'm afraid of the impression you are going to leave on people that have never met Karunna. Tina and Kar are both tall and blonde and then I think the comparison ends. My first impression of Karunna was total natural beauty. She is a knockout.

Thank you very much Azriel! What a very nice thing to say! Actually, my mom was very short (about 5'2") and a brunette, and rather plump, although strikingly attractive in her youth. I take more after my dad. Sadly, they are both long passed away.

Taking the flint with them to EI wouldn't help. You need a steel stiker to make sparks. Starting a fire without a flame is actually very hard. Has anyone on Survivor ever started a fire without flint or a lens? I know they have tried but I don't think they succeeded.

So if you stole the flint you could make a fire but you still can't boil the water because it's in a wooden bucket.

Why would anyone need to "steal" the flint? At this point in the game, I would think your tribemates would want you back in the best possible condition to compete well.

When the 4 tribes turn into 2 tribes, they will have one extra flint. Maybe that can be used to go to Exile Island. Tntitanfan, I know it would be nice to care about the team member going on the island, but I don't know if depriving 3 people for the sake of 1 is a good idea either.
