I think it's sad that more people feel that Shane is creepy rather than sweet. I'm sticking with sweet. Imagine how nice it would be if every kid felt that adored by their mom and/or dad?

Who, I'm so sorry about your experience with your father. How very sad. My DH's dad left his family when DH was 13, and he never saw him again. They also found out that he had died from the SS death list. Despite the fact that DH never really had a dad of his own, he's devoted to his three children (a son and daughter from his previous marriage and our 5 1/2 year-old son). I'm always amazed at what a wonderful father he is, despite the fact of never having had any kind of a role model (his mom wasn't so great, either). I guess some people are just born that way.

I don't think you can ever love a child too much -- the relationship labels were what made me very uncomfortable. That is strictly my opinion based on my experience working w/kids every day for 15 years -- and seeing those parents who don't "parent" because they love them so much they can't say no. I have no idea what kind of parent Shane is, but putting that much pressure on a kid to be "everything" to the parent worries me greatly. You can screw kids up in soooo many ways!

I guess the thing is we have not even seen Shane interact with his son. So we have no idea what he is actually like with him.

I was wondering how old the son is. I thought that Shane at one point said he had missed his son's 18th birthday by being on the show. The kid in the video looked more like 8 or 10. Also,I am pretty sure he said "he is my life" not "wife."

he did say "life" and not "wife". I was touched to see how much he cared for that kid, I remember how he used to talk about him all the time in the beginning. the kid is lucky ...

Shane's age is listed as 35, having kid at 21 makes kid in the 13/14 range.

Just a thought, If Terry keeps showing the others the idol and they know where he put it (didnt he show it to bruce) could someone steal it and claim it as thier own and get away with it...seems like that could happen. what do you think..

It seems as noone has ever touched anothers individual items in their bags and I think the producers would call them on stealing and they would be kicked out. You need some personal space somewhere.

The idol cannot be stolen. If that were part of the game Terry would have hidden it and everyone would be digging holes all over camp. Terry would not have shown it to Bruce nor kept it in the shelter. He found it and it is his.

I don't understand why some people believe Terry should have used his idol to save his teammates. He found it, it is his to use as he wants. They seemed to understand that he would use it if they could turn enough people to gain the numbers, otherwise he would keep it for himself. To do otherwise would just be stupid. He would save his teammate one week and then unless he won immunity the next week, he would be gone. Why would he give away a week's immunity when it would gain his teammates or himself nothing. He had no way of knowing he was going to win immunity for three weeks in a row. And this way, he is still safe one more tribal council. I think he did the right thing. He offered it up if it would help them gain the upper hand. When it did not, he did not use it. His teammates had no reason to resent it and they did not seem to.

I think that it would have been wise for Terry to give Sally the immunity necklace and kept the II for himself. He should have then shown the II to the others and they would then have had no choice but to vote off one of there own. They would not have been able to vote off Sally and couldn't vote for Terry since one of there own (Aras) would be gone. Aras would most likely have to agree with Terry to vote for one of the others.

Sally said on Survivor Live that they did approach Aras, and he wouldn't talk to them about flipping. She also said that the others wanted the II to come into play so that it would be gone, and then they could vote Terry and Sally off at the next two tribals. She didn't think anyone from the former Casaya team would have minded if they had to get rid of Aras, because they still had the numbers to get rid of Terry and Sally, and then none of the strong players would be left. She also said she tried to form a female alliance, but they wouldn't go for that, either.

Did the Survivors get a good look at the II at the beginning of the series? Do they know exactly what it looks like? Wouldn't that be funny if Terry made that little II himself and is passing it off as the real thing? Nobody's looking for it because they think he has it. Maybe that's why he's not giving it to anybody because then the jig would be up. And maybe that's why he's trying so hard at Immunity Challenges.

Weenie, that doesn't make sense as we (the viewers) were actually shown Terry finding the II on Exile Island!

That's why I wrote "Wouldn't that be funny if..." I was just having fun, sorry that didn't come across in my post.

Austin said that they didn't know what the idol looked like, and he did make a fake one that he was going to try to pass off to Danielle when they were on Exile Island together to try to get her to flip, but then he decided against it.

Originally, I thought that Terry was making a mistake not using the II to allow his group to get control of the majority. But now that I think about it, the reality is (based on past players on Survivor and life in general) that people are very quick to forget who helped them get to a certain position. I could easily see Terry using the II to allow his team to gain control and then a few Tribal Councils along, his team coming up with the standard excuses for voting Terry off (he's a strong player, it's just a game, I have to think of my family first, blah, blah, blah). Later on, saving Sally would be pointless as they would have voted her off the next time. So now I think that it was very smart of Terry to keep it for himself.

I still think he should have given the necklace to Sally. Then Aras could have be sent home.

Casaya wouldn't care if Aras went home, so it really wouldn't accomplish anything. Then next TC, they'd just vote off Sally or Terry.

I am a nurse and if Shane asked me to look at his "privates", I would refuse. Just because you are a nurse doesn't mean that you are at ease looking at one of those things in a setting other than a hospital or a doctor's office. He could have asked one of the men to look at it and tell him what was going on. I think whoever said that Shane was a few sandwiches short of a picnic got it right.

Based on the "diagnosis" it sounds like any MOTHER could have told Shane what was wrong. Cirie's response cracked me up! She's got a great sense of humor and I would LOVE to see her in F2.
